Ep. 141 “Misophonic Bi Orgy” w/ ROSS



Wow two episodes in a row with Ross back in the cockpit?? And this is a revealing one. So revealing it doesn’t seem right to put a bunch of bullet points in to Chat GPT to churn out show notes for this one. Does anyone even read these summaries? Do you hate that I use Chat GPT as much as I hate it? Please trust me- these notes are the only time I ever use it. AI scares me and bums me out but these notes are just to make this show searchable. I think. Is that what they do? I have no clue anymore.

Anyway, Patrick here. This week’s episode mainly centers on Ross and I hashing out and sorting through our marriage dynamics while we proceed with this non-monogamy business. If you’re curious about any of that stuff take a listen.

ALSO!! I’ll be running around the Binghamton area next week doing shows at various breweries and wineries up there. Also on Wednesday June 26th I’m heading back to the Hurleyville Performing Arts Center to host a lineup of awesome comics. If you’re in Sullivan or Ulster County in NY, come to the show! It will be so fun. Tickets

Ep. 059 – Who cares about The Great Outdoors??



Did you miss Ross and Patrick last week? They felt terrible that they didn’t record an episode for you. (Just tell them you missed them. They’re very sensitive and crave validation). Have no fear, they’re back and they recorded while driving upstate because vehicular multitasking is worth it for their fans. It’s you all who keep this empire running. The fans and Jesus. Mostly Jesus actually (Is anyone else watching ‘The Family’ on Netflix??). Anyway on this episode, R and P talk camping, 12 step programs, cults, and up tight neighbors. Cool, right?


Ep. 055 – Who cares about Lindsay Goldwert??



Lindsay Goldwert is a journalist, podcaster, comedian, author, and all around fascinating human. She joins Ross and Patrick to discuss the exciting release of her first book, Bow Down: Lessons From Dominatrixes on How to Get Everything You Want. Listen as they dive into the taboo territories of sex and money and how empathy and empowerment are not mutually exclusive. Lindsay shares about the alpha females featured in her book and the incredible power of example Dominatrixes can be to women in all walks of life, not just the bedroom. So strap in and strap on because BDSM is a contact sport where you can learn a lot about yourself. Just be open to it, ok?


Ep. 050 – Who cares about open relationships??



It’s episode 50!! Can you believe it?? It only took this duo 50 episodes to decide what they really care about (or at least what they actually want to talk about): Sex, love, alternative relationships, and everything in between! This week Ross and Patrick reveal more about their foray into ethical non-monogamy and their plans for sexual world domination (Kidding! They only wanna start a sex cult. Or maybe a commune). Does all this sound scary and confusing and like too much information? Then maybe sit this one out. Or does it sound captivating and titillating and like you’ve always had questions about things like this? Then dive into the warm poly embrace of this week’s show. XOXO!
