Serious question: Does Donald Trump continually tow the Putin line because he is a) a strongman fanboy? b) a bought-and-paid-for Russian asset? c) merely stupid? d) a would-be tyrant who hates freedom both at home AND abroad? or e) all of the above?

It's gotta be "e," right?

The caller dated her neighbor for a while, until it became clear that she couldn’t enjoy s*x with him because his giant p was too big for her. Now that she is starting to date other men, should she tell them the history of her friendly neighbor? Listen to answer at 9min mark: savage.love/lovecast

I got an actual "Your silence on this subject is deafening" message this AM, so, super-quick: Nobody here owes anyone commentary about anything. This is a public park. It's full of interesting people. We hang out here, make friends, and chat, and then we leave to do whatever it is we do. That's it!

This alone would've gotten a previous president laughed out of office so fast there wasn't time to impeach him.

Sometimes on a sex advice podcast, you have to call a veterinarian. A man’s new girlfriend lets the cat hump her leg to completion. He thinks this is kind of gross. We bring on a veterinarian from Seattle’s Urban Animal to confirm if it is indeed “gross.” Listen at savage.love/lovecast

I used "pegging" in a zoom marketing meeting today, thinking it meant targeting a donor group. I've never seen so many heads snap up at once at the use of a word.

I hope someone, somewhere is writing on opera based on this story.
Defense begins, “This case, ladies and gentlemen, is about a sandwich. A sandwich that according to Agent Lairmore somehow both exploded on his chest in a spray of mustard and onions but also landed intact on the ground still in its Subway wrapper.”
