Summary

A woman with Catholic in-laws tires to figure out whether she should cave in to them and get her little baby baptized. Dan’s advice…may shock you. Then, Dan chats with ex-muslim sex blogger and children's book author, Elynah about sex negativity in conservative Muslim communities. On the Magnum, Dan speaks with trans activist Parker Molloy about the problematic connection the clueless make between transwomen and drag queens. And, another marriage falls apart as a man discovers his wife textin’ and sextin’ snorting blow, lying and meeting strange men in bars. Can this one be salvaged? No, it cannot. 206-302-2064 This episode is brought to you by Audible. Get a free 30-day trial at AudiblePodcast.com/Savage.
