FluentlyForward

This week I'm joined by Addie Flynn (@djhungryhuman) to talk about the current state of celebrity culture, and why it feels like so many famous people of today move differently than celebrities of any other era. From Miley Cyrus getting mad at her own fans to Sydney Sweeney's increasingly questionable career decisions, we're getting into the celebrities who have us scratching our heads lately. We also discuss why Hollywood desperately needs new famous people, the death of celebrity mystique, the "big boob" to "big butt" pipeline, and why some celebrity couple pairings somehow manage to make BOTH people less interesting. Plus, a little celebrity gossip and some stories from Addie's own encounters with famous men!

This week we're diving into the wonderfully weird world of Nathan Fielder! From his early days doing improv with Seth Rogen to his rise as the king of "cringe" comedy, we're looking at the man behind *Nathan For You*, his unusual approach to making people uncomfortable, and whether his painfully awkward persona is actually the real Nathan.
Of course, we're also getting into his love life (because the ladies oddly froth at the mouth for Nathan Fielder), his new A24 documentary about Elizabeth Holmes, and handful of juicy Elizabeth Holmes blind items and more!

Are your favorite celebrities actually themselves...or have they been replaced by clones? This week I'm joined by Toni Bryanne for a deep dive into one of Hollywood's weirdest conspiracy theories...join us as we go completely off the rails.
We're talking Avril Lavigne being replaced by Melissa, the bizarre theories surrounding Britney Spears' Instagram, Selena Gomez allegedly being a completely different person, and whether Kanye West has been cloned, replaced, or reprogrammed. Plus, we get into MK Ultra, celebrity handlers, the Illuminati, the uncanny valley, AI doubles, and the most wild theory involving Selena Gomez, Justin Bieber, and Kourtney Kardashian's son.

Is your boyfriend cheating on you with ChatGPT? Is Sam Altman trying to become God? And when was the last time you argued with someone online who was actually a real human being?
This week I'm joined by award-winning journalist and tech expert Bridget Todd, author of the new audiobook Love at First Prompt: AI and the Future of Intimacy, to talk about all things AI, Silicon Valley, and the increasingly weird internet we're living on.
We get into people falling in love with chatbots, whether having an AI girlfriend counts as cheating, why so many people are turning to ChatGPT for therapy and medical advice, and the tech billionaires who seem determined to insert themselves into every aspect of our lives. We also dive into Sam Altman's god complex, AI being treated like a religion, tech whistleblowers, online propaganda, and dead internet theory (because even Reddit can't be trusted anymore).
Plus, we discuss why the internet used to be so much more fun, whether social media is officially dying, and what it would take to create an online space where we could actually talk to other human beings again.

Dancing With the Stars might be one big happy family…but it’s also one big dating pool! This week we’re going down the DWTS rabbit hole: which pros have dated each other, which celebrities hooked up with their partners, the Mormon-to-ballroom-dancer pipeline in Utah, and of course the blind items about dancing pros and celebrities from different seasons!
