Listen as we talk about what kind of mistakes people make when going out on dates, some ideas on making your dates awesome and hilarious stories about farts, fetishists and freaky scenes.

Also-


At what point do reveal your kink on a date? With Oscar de la Hoya, anytime is a good time.
Serial Killer Rodney James Alcala on the Dating Game.
