What happens when a married, polyamorous couple goes on a first date with artificial intelligence?

In this episode we introduce our new “girlfriend” — Olivia, an AI companion built through ChatGPT’s voice mode — and take her on a virtual first date.We talk attraction, jealousy, and boundaries as Olivia flirts, sets limits, and asks tough questions about love, consent, and communication.

After the date ends, we unpack the emotional and ethical fallout — from erotic AI fantasies to whether falling for a chatbot could ever count as cheating.

This episode blurs the line between human and digital intimacy, asking:

What happens when machines mirror desire?

Is emotional connection without a body still love?

Lily Allen has dropped her new album West End Girl. This record is a brutally honest breakup album about her open marriage with actor David Harbour, and has put non-monogamy back into the cultural Zeitgeist.

In this episode, we discuss

* Is Lily Allen’s “p*^sy palace” anthem empowering or exploitative?

* What are the ethics of writing about your ex?

* Why do female rage albums hit so hard?

* Does this record hurt or help how non-monogamy is seen?

* And… who exactly is Madeline?

From kink-shaming to compersion, privacy to power, we discuss the tension between honesty, art, and the stories we tell about love.

We also mention the Architectural Digest Tour of Lily and David’s House and this brilliant Substack article by Jack Cullen.
