Summary

It’s pretty much the nightmare scenario. Her new boyfriend gave her a digital picture frame. She mischievously sent him a nude, not knowing that it would post to a whole network of his friends, including his conservative Evangelical Christian mother. She hasn’t met his mother yet. When the day comes, how can she look her in the eye? A brave woman has taken up being a Dom to men she meets online. They come to her house and the fun begins. But she hates the awkward chit-chat at the beginning, before they assume their roles. How can she cut to the chase? On the Magnum version, a man asks Dan to reconcile the seeming contradiction of the public health mandate to wash one’s hands, with the celebrated practice of eating ass. “Please explain.” Dan brings on Dr. Daniel Summers- pediatrician, and hand-washing advocate to shed light on the situation. And, a bisexual man would like to dress more…bisexually. Can anyone help him pick out some threads?

0:29.6	There are a million news podcasts out there. There are still newspapers out there.
0:33.6	News websites, news feeds on Twitter. The news is nearly unavoidable.
0:38.7	And people turn to podcasts like mine, a nice little show about sex and relationships.
0:43.0	The relationships other people are in, the sex other people are having for a distraction.
0:48.0	Unless it's your question that gets on the show and then you're here for the advice.
0:51.1	But I know people come here, people listen to me to avoid the news if only for a little bit.
0:57.5	But I'm kind of a news junkie myself and when the news is as bad as the news is right now,
1:04.0	it affects me as I'm sure it affects you. I've been really depressed the last couple of weeks.
1:09.6	I've been doing self-care and myself-care routines. Probably look a little different than yours,

1:19.9	Anyway, I'm sure I don't need to tell you what's going on in Ukraine.
1:24.0	But I want to acknowledge it because my heart aches right now for the brave people of Ukraine.
