Summary

A woman is grappling with the dubious ethics of financial domination. Her friend asked her to do it, and she made a quick, easy $1k. But she knows that it is addictive and can ruin men's lives. Should she continue? A gay man is being bothered to distraction by his straight pal who teases and dominates him. They work together. Driven wild by lust, the caller worries that if he acknowledges the dynamic and shares his feelings, all will be lost. On the Magnum, the dog ate her vibrator. You heard that right. The dog ate her vibrator and broke it. It ran on batteries and had more settings than she needed anyway. What should she replace it with? We bring on our star, beloved cartoonist/sex toy reviewer Erika Moen to advise. And, a very special After-Action Report!

0:08.0	If you're stuck in a relationship quandary, or if you're looking for sexual harmony,
0:18.2	while there's nothing you can't ask on the Savage Lovecast.
0:26.8	I am not going to take the bait.
0:30.7	I am not going to get upset about a blue jeans commercial.
0:34.6	And I'm not going to hate on Sydney Sweeney because some hateful people,
0:39.2	including the President of the United States, seem to like her so much and like her for all

1:02.1	And while I have sympathy for addicts and I have moved heaven and earth to help addicts in my own

1:28.8	season one, I am made of flesh and blood. He's a star now too, and I can see his ass in other films.
1:36.0	So I didn't watch season two or three of Euphoria. I get my Allorty fix elsewhere. Anyway,
1:41.5	let's listen to a clip from the ad that upset a bunch of people, and then we
1:45.1	will listen to a bunch of clips posted on TikTok and Twitter by those upset people on the left,
