Summary

My what a busy friend! While a woman and her boyfriend were going through a painful, temporary separation, she confided in and was consoled by a male, bi friend of hers. He helped her through the difficult time. But he was also propositioning her ex-boyfriend at the same, damn time! Now that she is back together with her boyfriend, can she trust this friend again? A woman gives a compelling defense of faking orgasms. Will Dan Savage accept it? On the Magnum, Dan welcomes back the thoroughly delightful comedian Zach Zimmerman. They discuss the word "daddy." Is it an honorific that one hurls at another? Or a pre-negotiated, agreed upon role? They also talk about anger in comedy, and the real meaning of tolerance. Zach's comedy special SURPRISE ME debuts on April 22. And, a woman is dating a new guy after ending her old relationship. She is still struggling with the break-up, but she isn’t sure how much to reveal to her new guy about this. When he asks “How are you doing?” should she be honest about missing her ex?

0:27.0	All right, maybe we don't do the thing.
0:30.9	Some listeners loved Do the Thing, my proposed slogan for Democrats, something that can fit on a hat.
0:36.9	Apparently, some voters need to see it on a hat to believe it.

1:40.3	And Obama, on the campaign trail in 2007 and 2008, he got to define what he meant by,
1:46.7	yes, we can. I could have run for president on a promise to make America great again and defined
