Summary

Hand-wringing women, am I right? First we have a lady who feels guilty about masturbating at night when her partner is snoring next to her. And another woman feels guilty about "objectifying" her new cross-dressing boyfriend. Is it wrong to be attracted to him in his female garb? On the Magnum version of the show, Dan chats with John Moe, from the Hilarious World of Depression podcast about being a depressed person, or dating one. And, if you dare, hear all about the disturbing things a woman found in her husband's workshop including greasy rubber gloves, feces-stained towels, empty wine bottles and underpants with holes cut out of them.

0:33.1	If they can't treat you with respect, if they can't treat your partner or partners with respect, you're going to have to use that leverage.
0:40.4	You're going to have to absent yourself.
0:42.5	You can attend whatever family events you care to, Christmas's, funerals, weddings, but don't feel obligated to show up when you know when it's been made clear to you again and again that you will be judged, shame, manipulated, mistreated,

1:14.7	Harry was despair until William and Kate started having kids.
1:20.1	And yes, it is stupid that the travails of this one family occupy so much of our collective cranial real estate.
1:21.6	Anyway, Harry and Megan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex announced last week that they
1:27.4	will be stepping back from their roles as senior members of the royal family and splitting their time between the UK and Canada in the future.

1:40.8	They just announced it on their shared Instagram account, blindsiding the rest of
1:45.3	the Royals with the news that Harry and Megan weren't going to be as present in the future as they
