Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. The Clone-a-Willy Craze

• What is it? The hosts explain and react to “Clone-a-Willy” kits, which let people mold personalized adult toys, either in rubber or chocolate (01:12–02:07).
• Gift Ideas: John jokes about gifting a clone as a romantic gesture, “If we started handing out your unit like it was a gift, maybe they'd start looking at it like it was a gift. Know what I mean?” (01:45, Host)

2. Listener Experiences

• Caller Gretchen shares she’s used a kit for a traveling partner, emphasizing it’s a kit, not a “shared machine”—“No, no, no, no, no. It's not a machine. It's a kit that you buy and you take home.” (02:26, Caller Gretchen)

  “These directions are insane… as you mix, make sure to keep the situation up and going and be ready to insert into this…” (05:18, Caller with Clone-a-Willy Story)
• She complains about the lack of time to get from mixing to molding, the need to multitask, and the difficulty of maintaining the “situation,” especially as “the husband does not have any kind of erectile dysfunction” but this is just unsexy and frustrating (05:53–06:18).

4. Comic Banter & Ongoing Bit

  “You know that evolution poster where it's like a caveman and then he starts to straighten up a little bit? You do all the stages of your unit… the evolution of your wood. That would be a great art gift.” (09:33, Host)

5. Behind the Scenes: On-Air Control

• The show highlights the need to be ready for swearing when callers get real:
