Boxed Wine

This week on West of Knowhere, the hosts tackle technology frustrations and AI romantic companions taken offline over Valentine’s Day, the collapse of Italy’s Lover’s Arch, and sad celebrity passings including Robert Duvall and James Van Der Beek. They also cover a deleted Red Dead Redemption save file and the girlfriend’s creative apology, curling controversy, Epstein-related revelations, and a spicy "Am I the Asshole" listener story. Patreon supporters are thanked, sponsors mentioned, and the episode blends news, personal anecdotes, and humor across a wide range of current topics.
