A short one. Silliness and sour grapes. "Treat 'em mean to keep 'em keen"? Clockwork lupines. Do people really want what they tell Cosmopolitan they want in a relationship?

Warning: the following program contains frank discussion of people trying to find sexual gratification in both church and hookup culture, within, and outside, the bounds of wedlocks both holy and infernal. Viewers are advised to thank me later. Meghan talks about sexual chemistry, and whether hookup culture serves dudes better than dames. Evan gives an economist's perspective on investing in a future with a good woman vs. short overnight transactions/evening deposits. Anson talks with his son about the birds and bees. George beats the hell out of his drums for me, to great effect. Real men sing standing up. I re-envision a song I wrote in the 90s for a girl who didn't like me.

Flirting. With Christian girls? Can you win a woman's heart with a song? Michael Vedder shares some firsts, including first (church) girlfriend, and first dumping of a committed church girl so he could be free to get his feet dirty enough from walking around in the actual world to possibly need to wash them.
