About this episode
Keep it real in a world going virtual. In this eye-opening episode, Kevin and Alan unpack the bizarre and fast-moving world of AI-generated relationships, VR experiences, and TikTok filters that blur the lines between fantasy and reality. From fake boyfriends to ChatGPT marriages, they explore how digital escapism is reshaping our brains, behaviors, and emotional well-being and why it’s more dangerous than we think. If you’ve ever felt the pull of the digital world, this is your reminder to come back to what’s real.
