Just Entertainment today! The Ladies dish big time about the gross excess and conspicuous consumption of the Bezos-Sanchez wedding. Natch, the Kardahsians were all there, even though they weren't all initially invited. Momager said she wouldn't go unless the whole fam got invites...oh no she didn't...Oh, YES SHE DID! The nerve! The newst Golden Bachelor might be a real douche. His lady picks have a severe age limit. It should be a verrrry interesting season. The Idaho murderer gets ripped apart and so does Diddy. It's all in a day's gabfest for the #LadiesWhoQuestion. Please do tune in right now! And, thanks for your time.
A guy wants to marry the AI Chatbot he created. Not kidding. The Ladies Who Question wonder what his human partner thinks about that. The latest invention from the Japanese is one we, and Mother Earth, will greatly benefit from daily. Big money does not class make. Jeff Bezos knows no bounds. His wedding is giving Lisë and Holli major ick for being over the top and gaudy. Seriously, should anybody have that much money? The Karen Read trial is over, at least the criminal trial. We'll be following the civic trial once that gets underway. For now, it's party, party party! Thanks for tuning in! Please follow, like, and subscribe, and tell a friend. We would be ever so grateful :).
Ladies Who Question talk about AI a lot, for a very good reason! We want you to be prepared for the tidal wave of change. Hollywood has sued the Generative AI company, Midjourney, for image theft. Disney and Universal have teamed up to take the company to court. So yeah, it's gotten serious..Also on tap, AI hallucinations and what you need to know to double-check ALL of the information on the Internet. Much of the info is misinformation, or possibly disinformation, if you will. Lise and Holli also grieve the death of musical genius and Beach Boy founder, Brian Wilson. His music was magical and meant so much to so many. RIP, dear man. Thanks for listening, we love our listeners!
The #theladieswhoquestion are hometown proud. The venerable #steppenwolf Theatre in Chicago just won TWO Tony Awards! There's yet another wrinkle in the Blake V. Baldoni lawsuit.

Prisoners growing their own food, learning about nutrition, gaining a usable skill, and being useful; how great is that? Some inmates in England are doing just that. It's time to bring it to our shores, if it isn't already a prison program here.The #theladieswhoquestion are hometown proud. The venerable #steppenwolf Theatre in Chicago just won TWO Tony Awards!

AI is here and it's not going away. In fact, AI is coming for jobs, lots and lots of jobs. It may replace your job or your neighbor's job.
