Has anyone ever told you that women aren't funny? Well, they're not--they're hysterical. Possibly because Hippocrates thought that their uterus was an old-timey Pacman prototype. Angeline and Andrew discuss hysteria, the invention of the vibrator, and modern sex toys.

Andrew invites an (amicable) ex-girlfriend on the show to talk about First Times with him and Angeline. Everyone shares their awkward sexual awakenings, ponders why all of life boils down to card metaphors, and considers whether eBay should really be named eBAE. Join Angedrew and Kendra as they talk about virginity: lying about it, losing it, and trying to sell it to the highest bidder.
