Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Discovering Your Parents Are Swingers

[02:37–06:07]

• Listener Dilemma: A man discovers at a party that his 73-year-old father and his new wife are swingers. He wonders whether to confront them, warn them about risks (like STDs), or just ignore the whole thing.
• Hosts' Reactions:
  • Most hilarious responses highlight the awkwardness (“You find out Bunny and Torp swing later in life… Do you confront him or you just let it go?” — Holmberg, 04:02).
  • The consensus is to “mind your business,” emphasizing privacy and discretion in the swinger community.
  • Brady notes how swinging is surprisingly discreet:

    "What goes on in the swing community stays in the swing community." ([04:26] D)

  • The hosts agree family dynamics and faith might make things more complicated but ultimately suggest leaving it alone unless it causes real harm.
  • Memorable Moment: Comparing the shock factor to discovering a parent is a nudist.

Notable Quote:

“Everybody in this room says, stay oblivious. Go the Brady route and happy wander through it.” ([05:31] C)

2. Gay Married Listener Catches Husband in Bathroom 3-Some (with a Woman)

[06:07–10:20]

• Listener Dilemma: A gay man with an open marriage (for hot men only) is devastated to find his husband with both a man and a woman at a party—he equates seeing his husband with a woman to "having sex with a dog."
• Hosts' Exploration:
  • Holmberg and team dive into the visceral disgust some gay men feel about the opposite sex, explaining it's a preference as strong as any straight man's repulsion.
  • Emphasize the need for communication and boundaries:

    "If you can't stand that at all, then for sure [divorce]." ([08:27] D)

  • Playfully suggest competing to “outdo” the woman in the sexual department as a way to reclaim confidence and control.
  • Ultimately, they prescribe an honest conversation about boundaries and how the incident felt, offering tongue-in-cheek solutions like a “mouth hug” to reset marital intimacy.

Notable Quotes:

“I just think it was like sex with a dog. Sorry, ladies, but you’re gross.” (Listener letter, [06:50] C)
“You can never be with a woman again. Do you like that? And if… he says yes… now you may divorce.” ([08:18–08:25] D)

3. Penile Implant Woes: Wife Refuses to Have Sex After Years of ED

[10:38–13:44]

• Listener Dilemma: After years of ED—and trying every possible remedy—a man gets a penile implant that finally works. Instead of celebrating, his wife feels hurt, crying that he’s only aroused by surgery, not her. Now she won't have sex at all.
• Hosts' Analysis:
  • Discuss emotional manipulation and how the wife might be “gaslighting” or keeping the listener dependent on dysfunction, bordering on Munchausen syndrome.
  • Brady and Holmberg agree: Communicate openly, but if the partner isn’t receptive, it may be time to leave:

    “Leave her. Brett’s with me. Oh, he likes that phrase.” ([12:50] C)

  • Joke about recouping the financial and emotional investment by “using that new robot dick” elsewhere if necessary.
• Memorable Moment: Comparing the situation to cars—“Got a new engine ready to go!” ([13:12] D)—and suggesting it’s time for the man to find someone who will appreciate the “upgrade.”

Notable Quotes:

“You know what I’ve been through just to get a hard on for you, and now you won’t use it?” ([12:39] C)
“She’s a gaslighter… that’s manipulation. Now she’s abusing you mentally.” ([13:02] C)

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• On Families & Privacy:

  “Mind your business. None of your business.” ([05:14–05:15] A/C)

• On Relationship Boundaries:

  “Women are gross to some gay guys… You can’t sexualize it; you’re grossed out by it completely.” ([08:01–08:09] D/C)

• On Fixing Arguments:

  “If a woman wanted to end every argument, she’d just go, ‘Have sex with me.’” ([10:38] C)

• On Leaving a Marital Manipulator:

  “She liked it when you weren’t hard. This is almost that Munchausen syndrome where she kept you sick for so long, now it’s fixed and now…” ([13:17–13:29] C)

• On Holiday Divorce Timing:

  “The eighth or ninth is the last day you can leave before you’re obligated to a present.” ([14:07] C)
