Summary

A woman's in-laws have 12 cats. They won't travel to see the caller's family (including the 2 small children,) because they can't bear to leave the mewling kitties. Are they mentally ill and is there any way to explain this behavior to the kids? A bondage-loving lass goes to clubs and gets tied up by a strictly platonic tying partner. Her boyfriend is ok with it, but feels a little spooked. How can she reassure him that what she and the tying partner do isn't sex? On the Magnum, it's our first do-over! Dan realized he cocked up the answer to the woman who would lose bladder control when she gave blow jobs. This time, Dan brings in Dr. Rachel Gelman- an actual pelvic health specialist who knows what the hell she's talking about. She lives in the UK, he in the States. He is her dom, and also her cousin. They are deeply closeted about their relationship to family and friends.

0:24.6	Well, he signed it a couple weeks ago on the show.
0:27.1	We talked about Mike Pence casting the tie-breaking boat in the Senate for a new law that would allow states to defund planned parenthood.
0:35.9	And this week on Thursday, President Trump signed it into law.
0:41.1	And now states will be able to not provide funds to plan parenthood for services related

0:52.8	Planned Parenthood.
0:54.0	Women are going to die.
0:55.4	So now states, and we know which states, are likely to go this route, red states, can deny funding to
1:00.6	Planned Parenthood, not for abortion because no federal funds and no state funds go to Planned Parenthood

1:09.7	STI screenings, breast and cervical
1:12.5	cancer screenings and treatment, fertility care for people who are actually trying to get pregnant,
1:17.5	all of that funding is going to be cut off. And as a consequence of the law that Mike Pence cast
1:24.6	the tiebreaking vote for and Donald Trump signed into law, women are going to die.
