Holy Smokes! Monks Smuggle Drugs While AI Writes Hit Songs

A wild one today with Olivia Oravits as we bounce from unbelievable headlines to the future of human connection. We start with a story that sounds completely made up—but isn’t—after Buddhist monks were busted in a massive marijuana smuggling operation. If you can’t trust a monk, who can you trust? Then we pivot into a deep (and surprisingly fun) dive into artificial intelligence. Olivia and I both created AI-generated songs—and honestly…they’re pretty good. So what does that mean for musicians, creativity, and the future of entertainment? We also explore the rise of AI relationships. Are people really replacing human connection with machines—and where does that lead? At what point do you just skip it all and get a cat?
