Chapter 1: What is the main topic of this episode?
Hi, pussies. Welcome back to Therapist. Happy Valentine's Day. Sorry, I am so cold. It is very cold and rainy in Los Angeles, but, you know, we need the rain. It's a good thing, so thank God. I am once again single this Valentine's Day. I've never experienced a Valentine's Day taken, but Peyton and I are going to go out to dinner with the kids, so we're really excited.
February is always a tough month. February is always like where's March is how I feel about February. I've also never once again experienced Valentine's Day enjoyably. So I would know that's a lie. I'm sorry. I always have my Galentine's Day, but I've never had like an actual Valentine's Day.
I know.
Is that a video I sent you, Tucker?
Chapter 2: How does AI impact content creation?
Real? No. Oh, my God. I have seen so many people fall victim to AI recently. It's like actually alarming. I'm like, I feel like I can, I'm pretty good at like calling out AI, but like Louise sent me a video yesterday that like, I'll play it right here. And she was like, is this real? Were you high?
No, like it just seems so realistic.
No, it's not. You guys, that's the scary part about AI. It's like, God, AI is not right. But I feel like I can call out AI pretty quickly. But no. I've been seeing a lot of people be like, look how cute this is. I'm like, that's AI.
What was the video?
Tucker kissing me on the cheek.
Oh, really? I swear that happened.
No. Tucker would never show me affection like that. We go on tour very soon. We've actually spent the past few weeks planning the show. Matt flew in. Should we call him?
I was on the phone, Jake. Jesus. What's wrong?
Nothing. I just wanted to say hi. You're on Therapus.

Chapter 4: How did Willa Bennett become Editor-in-Chief at Cosmopolitan?
And someone responded to my wild email that probably today wouldn't age well. I should probably find it. And was basically like, I'll get coffee with you, but we don't have a job. And so I remember leaving school, I went to Sarah Lawrence, taking a train down to the city, getting coffee with her. And she was like, you know, we're not hiring, but if there's, do you know anything about Snapchat?
And I was like, I love Snapchat. Yeah. And it turns out Seventeen was launching on Snapchat. And so that I was basically like an assistant figuring out like how to package content on social.
Interesting.
So that was like the beginning. And then I kind of just worked my way up. I think GQ is really important for me because I really found my voice there. I was really close. I still am really close with Will, the editor. And like, I don't know, he really saw something in me. And really, he really helped me refine my voice.
And coming at it from a writer's perspective, even though I was working on social, it really was storytelling.
Right. Of course.
So I loved it. And I, you know, was there at a really interesting time where I think they were pushing and they still are. But it was this moment of like, what is GQ to these younger audiences? And it was amazing. And then from there, I went to High Snob where we met. You wrote an amazing essay for me.
I love that essay.
It did. Like, I remember all the comments being so sweet.

What is, quickly, what did you, since you said you profiled Gracie early on in GQ, is there something you noticed different from GQ to now in her?
She's just real as hell, honestly. She's like so real. She's just a real friend. Like you could call her right now about a breakup. She would be the best person to talk to. You were actually one of the first people to text me. You were like, oh my God, I love Cosmo and I love you. It's so cool.
It's just so, there's no one better. Like anyone else, you bring such a distinct voice to everything you touch. Thank you. It's true. It really is true. And there's no one better than, To take on Cosmo and change it and shape it for how the world we're in now. Thank you. That's so sweet. It's true.
I'm really excited. And this is only in the beginning. And like, I really feel like so optimistic about it and excited.

I love him. I know.
Isn't he so... He's so nice. How old is he?
I don't know.
22. Cosmo knows it all.
Is he super Russian in real life?
He was amazing. He was amazing. We did get in trouble because he... he like lit a cigarette inside the studio and that was obviously not allowed.
What are you listening to?
Like Dochi at the Grammys was incredible. Oh, it was really amazing. Like the outfit, like I was like blown away. Chapel sounded also amazing. Huge belly Stan. Um, but Dochi's performance was seriously amazing.
I saw her Colbert performance, which was just mind blowing. I couldn't catch any of the Grammys because I was in the air. Like I was on a plane for, I, Oh, this is the second time I've said I was in the air, which is so weird. I said it this morning too. I was on a plane and then I landed. Jake Shane was flying. Yeah, I was fine. I landed and I turned on the Grammys cause I finally got service.

What's the oldest person you've ever dated?
I've never had a boyfriend, but the oldest person I've ever hooked up with, probably mid-40s.
How is that?
Well, I was like 20 or 19. Oh my God, I was 19. How is that? Horrible.
All right, next question.
I don't know why I'm like, you should date a 50-year-old. You shouldn't. Hi, Jake. So I just got out of a three-year-long relationship with my boyfriend. Now all of these guys are hitting me up, including one of my twin brother's best friends. He keeps complimenting me and asking me out. Is that something I should bring up to my brother? What is going on?
I would bring it up to my brother, but I wouldn't let what my brother says sway how I behave with this person. If you feel chemistry and it's there, then...
