Even more unbelievably, he hasn’t given up on finding love.Chris and Neeley tear into the absurdity of the situation, discuss the increasingly convincing world of AI-generated personalities, and question how anyone could sacrifice everything for a relationship without meeting the person first.Plus, the guys thank comedian Jim Florentine for stopping by, recognize the fans who support CMS, and close out the show with Candlebox’s “Don’t You,” requested by Fuego.It’s football, artificial intelligence, online romance, questionable decisions, and unfiltered comedy—all delivered the Classic Metal Show way.**WARNING:** This episode contains frequent strong language, crude sexual humor, adult subject matter, and jokes involving domestic violence.
