Summary

A lesbian couple has been together for a couple years, and things are still hot between them. But they wonder if they should check out a sex club just to add a little spice. They are monogamous, and have no interest in contact with other women. Their friends say it's impossible to remain exclusive with each other at one of these spaces. Is that true? Would they be welcome? A man with "anxious attachment style" (hot!) has been seeing a woman for 6 weeks, and things are moving fast. She told him she was going to have a drink with a friend. He asked if she had ever slept with him. At first she denied it, but then called him back and admitted that she used to have a friends-with-benefits relationship with him, but that they were just platonic now. Should he believe her? Should he be upset? Should he cling as hard as he possibly can? On the Magnum, Dan chats with humor writer Eli McCann from the Salt Lake Tribune about "The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives," and what to do when the obnoxious gatekeeper in your life is your own damn son. And, a woman has freed herself from her abusive ex-boyfriend. But they still share one thing...the dog! Who gets custody? She had promised him that if they ever broke up, he could keep the dog. But he is in no position to care for it. Who gets the poor little pooch? [email protected] 206-302-2064 This episode is brought to you by Hims, providing affordable access to ED treatment, online.

0:28.0	I log back on to a certain social media platform after being mostly offline for the better part of a week.
0:35.1	And the first post I saw was someone from one of my communities saying this.
0:41.3	We need to talk about how giving people a plus one for events is low-key polyphobic.
0:47.4	And my first thought as a person in a polyamorous relationship was, do we though? Do we really need to discuss this? Right now? There's a lot going on right
0:58.1	now. I don't know if this is what we need to drop everything else and talk about right now.
