  • Guests talk too long

    I’ve been listening for years. But lately the guests ( on the Magnum) talk way too much. I like to hear the callers, not comedians or writers yapping about boring topics. It’s like half the show sometimes. I skip through the quirky guests and his political rants at top of show.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Savage Lovecast Episode 1011
Q: How do I tell if someone is cheating to stay married or is a self‑deceptive cheater feeding you a story?
There's no certain way to tell; look for consistency between what they say and their actions, and beware of elaborate 'tales of woe' that justify staying in a relationship while seeking sex elsewhere. If the person shows a pattern of honesty about their needs, it's more trustworthy than excuses.
After Action Report #22
Q: How did it feel for you? How was it for you being part of this experience?
Hosting and facilitating was incredibly fulfilling; it felt like curating a shared experience where the boundaries are respected, and seeing the participants find emotional catharsis and joy made it deeply gratifying.
After Action Report #22
Q: So set the scene for me. You're going to kidnap this woman ... how did it unfold?
We staged the living room as a hostage-like environment, coordinated a van transport, and executed the sequence with the participants, all while maintaining consent and monitoring reactions to ensure safety and mutual arousal.
After Action Report #22
Q: What is it that you did that you wanted to talk about?
I facilitated a CNC kidnapping scene at a kink event, carefully coordinating with the couple and ensuring consent and safety through clear communication and boundary setting before and during the event.
Savage Lovecast Episode 1010
Q: What should the caller do about the need for kissing and intimate touch within a monogamous marriage?
Explain the need clearly, negotiate boundaries, and consider options like negotiated outside activities only if both partners consent; otherwise, be prepared for the possibility that the relationship may not fully accommodate that need without harm.
