Summary

This episode will make you bi. Please listen at your own risk. Margaret Cho talks about bisexuality, BDSM, polyamory, and the first time she ever tried Stacy's Pita Chips.

"I get polyamory fatigue and I get total BDSM fatigue...It takes so much energy in terms of negotiating and what you want and what you're doing and I just don't have the energy for it."
