Summary

A woman's mother died last year. Her dad is dating someone new. The caller and her siblings just aren't ready to welcome their dad's girlfriend into their lives, let alone include her at Christmas. The caller feels she has to choose between her siblings and her father. Tough times, these. A straight man felt slighted when a woman wouldn't give him her phone number, and in public! He feels sad and humiliated and wonders if the male ego should be given just a little more weight and protection. On the Magnum, Dan chats with Guy Branum, comedian and author of "My Life as a Goddess," about cosmetic ass surgery among other things. A woman can come easily through masturbation but can't get therewith her boyfriend. Dan takes her through the steps of his hallowed technique, guaranteed to get her moaning alongside her man. 206-302-2064 This episode of the Savage love cast is brought to you by Everlane: Luxury basic clothing and accessories, made at ethical factories without those retail markups.

0:28.2	The headline read, and so as not to keep us in suspense, the subhead let us know that the news was not good.
0:34.9	The results of the first ever study on this subject were bleak. Sex researcher and

1:41.4	and considering, quote, the discrimination trans people face on a daily basis,
