Just Between Us Forever Dog

Melisa starts the episode off strong with a sick burn. The gang then clarifies the concept of malicious compliance through the help of two listeners. Next up, sex workers share some of their most cringe moments with clients. Allison then connects with the subreddit Out Of The Loop (for obvious reasons). And finally, pizza delivery drama, online dating bad behavior and terrible book covers!

It's our Pride episode! Hooray! First, a pronoun change for Gabe as an update on their continuing gender journey. Then, we're honored to be joined by the ACLU's Chase Strangio to talk about his work on fighting anti-trans legislation, why these laws have sprung up all over in the last few years, and what we can do to help stop these discriminatory, misinformed, and cruel laws. Gabe then takes over the game show portion of the podcast with THE GAY OFFS! Comedian and icon Kalen Allen goes head to head with Allison, who definitely loses. HAPPY PRIDE! Tune in Friday for the rest of the live episode!

Gabe has no rhythm and wonders how do couples know when a song is "your song?" A listener writes in worried because she doesn't have female friends and isn't sure if that's a red flag. All The Wiser podcast host Kimi Culp joins the chat to talk about learning from the darkest moments of her and her guests' lives. And why it's important to have these conversations (responsibly). During Hypotheticals, Allison has some questions about how to handle a nervous flower girl. And, finally, why won't Diane Feinstein step down when her absence from Congress is making it impossible for the Dems to make judicial appointments? Does feminism mean we have to support all women no matter what?

Gabe shares how it's easy to get into anywhere while wearing a high visibility vest with posts from r/ActLikeYouBelong. Melisa is an expert at attending events she isn't supposed to be at. r/thanksImcured collects responses to people's mental illnesses and trauma that are insulting, condescending, and...obvious. A horrible hook up leaves a handwritten note with "constructive feedback." The trio all have different opinions on this tactic. Allison was called out for a "Not Like The Other Girls" post. Is it possible to be an anti-fan of someone? And finally, can Melisa stump Reddit with clowns?

tw: brief mention of pedophilia, racism, and Anti-Semitism

Allison has a TV rec that you MUST watch. Shelly writes in to ask about attachment styles and how to know what that means for her relationships. Gabe has an unexpected emotional reaction to the question. Then, Steve Hall from the Local Initiatives Support Corp joins the podcast to talk about how to support small businesses and the importance of buying local. Plus, important tips for newly minted business owners. Is a 1970s record store owner asking you to listen to records in the back a date or entrapment? And finally, a listener asked us to discuss Anti-Semitism and its dangers during our Topixxx segment.
