2. Glory Hole Origins: History & Dark Humor

• How Did Glory Holes Start? ([09:21])

  • The gang debates the origins of glory holes, with wild speculation (“maybe a pyramid!”) leading to calling in an “expert.”

4. Dating Disaster Stories & Red Flags

• Final Destination Date ([16:19])

  • Jason recounts a date where everything went wrong: a beach walk led to a needle injury, resulting in hospital visits and a blown tire—ending, hilariously, in lasting friendship.
  • Quote: "We didn’t go on another date, but became pretty good friends and still laugh about it almost 30 years later."
    — Jason ([16:48])

• Crying Over the Ex ([18:36])

  • Group jumps on this as a universal red flag—someone not over their ex.
  • Quote: "If you go on a date with a man and the first thing he says to you is, ‘my ex is crazy,’ he’s not over her."
    — Jay ([21:17])

• Herpes Confession… Post-Climax ([22:15])

  • A “Sicily, 20-something” date ends in a sex confession: “Oh, by the way, I have herpes, but wore a condom.” The group discusses sexual health and legality.

    — Jay ([23:28])

5. Strip Club Red Flags & Dating “Tricks”

• “Flavor of the Day” at the Strip Club ([29:15])

  • Another listener’s date: taken to a strip club where all the dancers know her date by name (and dub her “flavor of the day”). The hosts riff on why this is a massive red flag.
  • Bunnie and Jay, both former insiders, discuss why dating regular strip club patrons (“tricks”) never ends well.
  • Quote: "If you're trying to be in a relationship with a man who just wants nothing but validation from strippers and going to strip clubs, that man ain't..."
    — Jay ([30:10])
