Emma is joined by Jared Freid in her quest for man-related answers, and he helps shed some light on questions such as: Are deep conversations an inherently feminine thing? Do we become aware of gender through our parents’ hangups? How often do men really wash their sheets? Is it a problem if your celebrity crush looks nothing like your partner? In the Why Do Men segment, Jared explains to a listener why her boyfriend leaves stray pee on the toilet, and how men feel about bathroom etiquette in general. Then, Jared takes up the mantle of Apology Surrogate, and apologize to a listener on behalf of an inconsiderate airplane seatmate. In Emma’s Dilemma, Jared gives Emma some helpful tips on navigating dirty talk with her long term girlfriend. Finally, they wrap up with a lightning round about everything from hibachi to insecurity.

Email us at [email protected] with your AMA, Why Do Men?, and Apology Surrogate questions, and we’ll answer them in a future episode.
