Knockin' Boots Podcast

Episode 3 of the Knockin' Boots Podcast

Featuring: Daemon Hatfield, Ty Root, Ryan Geddes, Greg Miller, and Roshana Sabaratnam

From European poon-ventures and long-distance German crushes to almost-cheating disasters, open relationship bombshells, high school nudes, and one listener’s Korean nurse escape plan—this Knockin’ Boots episode covers the full spectrum of love, lust, and disasters.

Questions:

1. Manuel (Portugal)

I’m 17 and just started going out to bars with friends. I see lots of cute girls but don’t know how to approach them. What are your best pickup lines?

2. Connor Watson (New Zealand)

I’m 15 with zero dating experience. A friend wants to set me up with a girl. How should I act on the first date?

3. Jeff Griffiths

I took in my abused girlfriend at 18; we’ve been engaged almost 5 years. A married coworker who likes me stayed over, things escalated while my fiancée slept, I stopped and confessed. Now no one’s speaking. Can I fix this?

4. Anonymous (Australia)

I had a love-at-first-sight romance with a German girl on exchange. We stayed friends and still talk. I’m planning a Europe trip to Spain/Italy/Greece—should I redirect funds for a “poon-venture” to see her in Germany?

5. Anonymous (18)

My girlfriend of 1.5 years broke up with me hours ago. How do I get over it without it hurting too much?

6. Grant

I’ve been hanging out with a girl who has a huge crush on me and is changing her look to match my “dream girl” type. We have nothing in common and I’m moving to college soon. Should I date her until I leave or cut it off?

7. Joseph Creamer

I’ve been dating a girl 6+ months and we’ve had sex a few times, but our parents won’t let us be alone. How can we get private time together?

8. Anonymous

I hit it off with a hot girl at a party; things got physical until she revealed she has a boyfriend but they have an open relationship. She wants more with me. I prefer monogamy. Run or stick with her?

9. Flint Body (high school)

I flirt online with school girls and sometimes they send revealing or nude photos. Is it weird if I masturbate to them even though we’re not dating?

10. Rob the Robot (15)

I flirted with a 16-year-old girl at a family dinner (I’m friends with her gamer brother). If it goes bad, future family dinners will be awkward. Pursue or not?

11. Jonathan Rodriguez (23, El Paso, Texas)

I’m extremely shy around girls I like until they show interest, then I’m witty. The ones who like me aren’t my type (I prefer bigger chest than stomach). I work at GameStop, don’t drink, and am scared of bars after a bad experience. Where do I meet girls and how do I approach without offending?

12. Justin Underhill (Canadian teaching in Korea)

I’ve dated a hot 22-year-old Korean nurse 6 months; it’s my best relationship. She’s in a toxic job and wants to move to Canada with me when my contract ends. I don’t want to feel locked in since I plan to teach overseas more. What should I do?

13. Logan (Kansas City)

I really like a close female friend but she hates my gaming addiction and my plan to fly to Comic-Con. Should I give up gaming for her or wait for a girl who accepts my hobbies?

Episode 2 of the Knockin' Boots Podcast

Featuring: Daemon Hatfield, Ty Root, Ryan Geddes, Hillary Goldstein, and Greg Miller

From commitment panic to messy breakups, awkward intimacy, a “boat launch” hookup opportunity, and one listener’s unfortunate bathroom moment—this Knockin’ Boots episode covers the full spectrum of love, lust, and disasters.

Questions:

1. Andrew Riley

My new girlfriend has sleepovers with a group of 3 guy friends. They stay the night. She says it’s innocent.

Should I confront the guys, confront her, or do nothing?

2. Nicholas Martin (Nick)

A cute customer found me on Facebook and wants to hang out at the local hookup spot (“the boat launch”). I’m 19, a virgin, overweight, never kissed a girl, and unsure if I’m ready. Should I go for it or wait?

3. Mr. Anonymous (European threesome attempt)

My girlfriend and I have talked about a FMF threesome. We finally had a chance but I ruined it by going after the third girl myself. Can threesomes ever end well? Did I blow it?

4. Greg Wolf

My girlfriend of five years is pushing me to propose. I want to marry her, but I’m 21, she’s 23, and I don’t feel financially ready. Should I propose or wait?

5. Oriel Martinez (married, NYC)

What are the top three ways to keep a long-term relationship fresh?

6. Steve Wilson

I dated my girlfriend for four years. She wanted to talk marriage and kids, I panicked, and we broke up. I miss her but I’m still terrified of commitment. Do I get back with her or move on?

7. Anonymous Female Listener — “Stupid hoe is ruining my life.”

I liked a boy last year, and at my house party my close friend invited him, sat in his lap, and left with him. I feel betrayed. Am I wrong to be upset? Should I confront her or end the friendship?

8. Donny Kester — “Do I not like sex?”

I had sex very young (14). Later experiences were awful, and now I basically hate sex. Will any girl accept almost no sex (once every few months), or am I doomed?

9. Tyrone O’Connor

I’m 20 and starting a paid work placement. My girlfriend of four years wants us to move in together, but I could save a ton of money by staying home one more year. Move in now or be patient?

10. JD Chambers — “Bathroom boundaries”

Been dating a girl a month. She pees with the door open—fine. But she recently pooped with the door open, only 10 feet away. Is this a deal-breaker or am I overreacting?

11. Michael O’Hare — “Where can I meet more Asian girls?”

I hooked up with an Asian girl for the first time and it was incredible. Now I want to meet more, but don’t know where. Any ideas?

12. Steven Haberman

My wife tries to act sexy, but honestly… it’s awkward and makes me want to laugh. Should I tell her or keep it to myself?

13. Anonymous Male — “When going down on my fiancée…”

Sometimes a stray pubic hair gets in my mouth when I go down on my fiancée. Do I swallow it to keep the moment going, or stop and pick it out?

Episode 1 of the Knockin' Boots Podcast

Originally aired June, 2010

Featuring: Daemon Hatfield, Ty Root, Nate Ahern, Greg Miller, and Levi Buchanan

Crushes, gamer girls, jealousy, virgin panic, PlayStation Home romance, and unhinged advice. Episode 1 sets the chaotic tone.

Questions:

• 1. Sam Holt

  Is it better to date a gamer girl, and is it worth waiting/holding out for one, or is that more trouble than it’s worth?

  
  

  2. Ryan Lowey (“Lowey”)

  I’ve had a crush on a girl all four years of high school, she’s finally single, and graduation is days away — do I confess my feelings now or let it go?

  
  

  3. Brian Evans

  I’m 17 and like a 19-year-old college guy who drinks and has a bigger sexual history, and I’m straight-edge and jealous — should I pursue this or move on?

  
  

  4. Jason (PlayStation Home romance)

• Not really a question — he’s sharing a success story: met a girl in PlayStation Home, visited her, they fell in love, got married, and are now happily “knockin boots.”

  
  

  5. “Phil A. Nursehole” (fake name)

• I was set up with my friend’s younger, wild sister, we’ve been hooking up, and I just found out she’s married and her sister hid it — do I break it off, keep enjoying it, or shoot for a threesome with both sisters?

  
  

  6. Jimmy Wills

  I’m 17, like a gamer girl on the opposite side of the county, and I can’t drive yet so my parents would have to drive and wait during dates — should I still ask her out/start a relationship

  
  

  7. Unnamed female listener (pet names)

  I’ve lived with my boyfriend for almost 3 years, we’re solid, but we never use pet names (no “baby,” “honey,” etc.) — is that weird or a bad sign?

  
  

  8. Steve / Stephen Pritchett

  I’m 24, never dated and never had sex, and I’m scared of relationships even though I want one — is it wrong that I’m still a virgin, and how do I get past this fear?

  
  

  8. Anthony (Kendra vs Kim Kardashian sex tapes)

• The Kendra sex tape is reportedly more popular than Kim Kardashian’s — how is that possible when Kim seems hotter?

  
  

  9. Gabriel Blaine

  I’m 19, look very young/baby-faced, don’t go out much, and feel girls my age want older-looking guys — how can I start actually meeting girls and not be stuck “never knockin boots”?

  
  

  10. Brad in Nashville

  Not really a question — he writes in to share advice/ideas on where to meet women after college (Junior Chamber of Commerce, Bible study, etc.), and mentions he married a drinking buddy’s little sister.

  
  

  11. Jordan Williams – “Big black guy needs love”

• I’m 6’9”, upper-300 lbs., known as the big, funny “big black guy” / teddy bear, but that persona keeps getting me friend-zoned — should I change myself/lose weight to get dates, or just keep looking for the right girl?

  
  

  12. Sean Malley

  I’m 16, homeschooled in a small town, never had a girlfriend or kissed a girl. Daemon once said by 14 boys should have at least kissed someone — am I behind/abnormal because I haven’t?

  
  

  13. Andrew

  I’m 23 and went on a date with an 18-year-old co-worker; we had a romantic night and kissed — is the 23/18 age gap okay, or is that a problem?

  
  

  14. Isabel (female listener, fiancé in BASIC)

  My fiancé is coming home from basic training after 3+ months away, and we’ll be having lots of sex — what can I do in the bedroom to really surprise him and make it extra special, not just our usual “kinky” stuff?

  
  

  15. Tyler Robinson

  I’m 17, have been with the same girlfriend for 2 years; she’s a strong Christian who believes in no sex before marriage, but I really want sex — what should I do: stay, push boundaries, or move on?

  
  

  16. Pierre from the Pacific Northwest

  I’m 24 and intentionally saving sex for someone I truly love. I’ve done everything up to “third base” (oral, heavy fooling around) — am I still a virgin?

  
  

  17. Michael Lin

  He’s responding to an older listener question about dating your brother’s ex. He doesn’t really ask; he shares a cautionary story: his wife’s mom dated a guy, then married that guy’s brother, and it makes family gatherings super awkward — basically saying “please don’t do this; it messes up your kids’ lives later.”
