    Men vs Bear

    Men vs Bear

    Who would you rather encounter in the woods, a man or a bear? This question has proven controversial for many men in the world (and rather simple to answer for most women, overwhelmingly choosing the bear). This week, Sarah and Adam talk about how men should react to this question, expand the discussion to add some context for anyone who might be confused, and throw in a few bear puns as well. Also this week, Sarah makes a cake that has explosive properties, Adam makes more friends in Tulsa, and your hosts answer a call from the DKS Hotline! You too can call in and ask your question, suggest topics, or just give feedback by calling our DKS Hotline at 407-519-0181 today!

    The DKS Podcast is a raw, honest, and hilarious podcast that focuses on all aspects of love, sex, society and culture, promoting a lifestyle of transparency, openness, and healthy communication as a path to happiness. It is created, edited, and produced by Sarah G. and Adam Heath Avitable.

    Women Don't Need Men Anymore - The 4B Movement

    Women Don't Need Men Anymore - The 4B Movement

    It's official - women don't need men. They can buy homes, get bank accounts, and live happy, fully satisfied lives without men getting in the way, and men don't like it. In this episode, Sarah and Adam talk about the 4B movement, an anti-dating movement from South Korea, and how it's spreading across the US too. Should crusty "alphas" with unwashed asses start to worry? 

    Also this week, Adam and Sarah talk about their lives since February, and they give an update about Passport Bros and their creepy illegal tendencies with a story about Timothy Alan Livingston and his Colombian adventures.

    The Toxic Passport Bros Phenomenon

    The Toxic Passport Bros Phenomenon

    Why improve yourself and be a better man when you can just take your mid-level paycheck to a foreign country and be toxic there? This week Adam and Sarah tackle the douchiest douchebags of all time - Passport Bros. (Not literally tackling them - we just talk about why they're misogyny-filled shitbags who should be ashamed of themselves).

    Also this week, your hosts address a valid concern from a listener about the FB group "Are We Dating The Same Guy", catch each other up on life since last month's episode, and once again ask you the listener to call in with questions by calling our DKS Hotline at 407-519-0181 today!

    From the DKS Vault - Surviving Valentine's Day

    Welcome to an extra special episode of the DKS Podcast from our vault! Sarah's trip to Venezuela has made it impossible to record an episode, so we're pulling a classic from 2019 to share with you. Adam was dating two women, Sarah was having single issues in Nashville, and we called this month "Two-Finger February". Listen, enjoy a classic episode from five years ago, and we'll catch you in the next one.

    Is Dating Expensive? A Look at the Cost of Loving.

    This week, Adam and Sarah discuss the costs and expenses involved in being single, dating, and being in a relationship. What precisely is the cost of loving?

    Also this week, Sarah and Adam talk about their birthdays, make fun of that idiot who's suing women and Facebook for being showcased in "Are We Dating The Same Guy?", answer a voicemail about lovebombing, and discuss Cape Town, South Africa as a travel destination.

    The Mr. Simone Biles Controversy: Impress Your Friends or Support Your Partners?

    The Mr. Simone Biles Controversy: Impress Your Friends or Support Your Partners?

    It's Season Seven of the DKS Podcast, and this is the season of the listener! We want your input, your feedback, and your support by sharing, reviewing, and interacting with us as much as possible! Our success comes from the community and we want to foster that community on a whole new level this year. If you haven't given us a 5-star rating and review on iTunes, now's your chance!

    This week, Adam and Sarah discuss the Simone Biles/Mr. Simone Biles controversy and identify all of the ways that it's not okay for men to throw their partners under the bus just to soothe their egos or impress other men. If your partner does this to you, we'll also be giving you some tips for handling it (just short of actual murder). Also this week, Adam and Sarah talk about their holidays, a listener gives an update from their voicemail in 2023 about a one-sided relationship and a new listener calls in to ask about dating someone who's trans. You too can call in and ask your question, suggest topics, or just give feedback by calling our DKS Hotline at 407-519-0181 today!

MissBoo ,

"Are We Dating The Same Guy"

I'm glad you discussed those "Are We Dating The Same Guy" Facebook groups... because they are ABSOLUTE TOXIC TRASH. They're full of women who just want to throw other women under the bus and tattle on them to their abusers and other sociopaths that have traumatized them. They aren't doing anyone any favors.

The show that has it all!

Started listening about a year ago. And I always come back for more. Sarah and Adam are fantastic to listen to. The first half is great, like a personal reality show and then the second half is great advice!

heyGirlhey86 ,
