Content Warning: Discussion of rape in the dolphin conversation 

Allison gives a pregnancy update. A listener writes in about how to handle the love of their life leaving them. Then Dr. Justin Gregg, author of "Humanish: What Talking to Your Cat or Naming Your Car Reveals About the Uniquely Human Need to Humanize," joins the podcast to teach us about dolphins and killer whales. Can AI help us communicate with them? Can they be gay? Is the rape thing a myth? (Shocking!) And finally, a discussion of what it means to be a patriot.

Allison needs to figure out her hair before the baby is born. A listener writes in asking if it's internalized misogyny to be bored by how her engaged friends have started only talking about weddings. Then, Dr. Sara Reardon joins the show to talk about pelvic floor therapy, preventing uncomfortable changes that doctors have deemed "normal," bottom surgery and painful sex, and sexism in medical diagnoses. We learn exactly how to strengthen our pelvic floors. And finally, the book "Careless People" about the toxic environment at Facebook and the disgusting terror it creates for the rest of us. It's sick.

ChatGPT can not write a good book review. Allison reads a segment of a book’s dialogue that is also not good. A man gets revenge on a neighbor who won’t do anything about his dog barking outside all night. Then, an employee teaches his boss, who schedules a meeting during his lunch, a lesson. Melisa reveals there’s been a sound machine available this entire time. Is it really so bad to have separate checks at a big dinner? This is a show about being in your 30s, baby! Allison finally wins Reddit or Not!!

Gabe has no idea how to decorate his home because he thinks he has bad taste. Allison is going to be second fiddle on her own new podcast with her husband John. A listener writes in to ask advice on how to continue on with life after her mother died. Allison can relate to handling grief. Then, romance author Brigid Kemmerer joins the show to talk about her experiences and inspirations writing in the romantasy genres, navigating the tropes that readers love (and hate), and the art of telling the same stories with new and exciting details. Why do fantasy/medieval settings do better than contemporary novels? And finally, Allison shares about working with her spouse on their show "Starter Marriage." Gabe has promo ideas.

Spotify vs. Apple. Robots grading our papers even though we’re not allowed to use ChatGPT to write them. Allison brings a story from r/AmIOverReacting about a woman whose boyfriend faked an entire online friend group she became a part of. Then, finding a “provider man” to date. Sprinkle sprinkle! Plus, selling your advice and solutions as a grift. The manosphere of Reddit is gross and sexist and Gabe is in the thick of it. They said no one could ever bring a post from r/imaginarygatekeeping to TLDRI. In r/pointlesslygendered, no woman would ever be emotional about linguistics. And finally homemade gatorade. Electrolytes!

Gabe has a lovely woo-woo moment of connection with his dead uncle. Melisa has monetized being an oldest child. An OP laments an employer that asks him to bring Starbucks to the interview. A child steals an idol from a museum. A therapist accidentally sends a client a nude photo. A woman is the reason her co-worker is getting divorced--and it's not what you think. And finally, Gabe tries to guess Allison's baby name. He fails.

Finally, Allison walks us through her first trimester of pregnancy. It's not fun.
