  • shins

    really disgusting and misogynistic how you spoke about finding hair on shins "disgusting" -- take a look in the mirror. lots of lesbians do not shave. i used to love your show but you're misogynistic so often, it's annoying, disappointing, gross, gross, gross. Small minded Dan. grow up. read the room. learn something for once.

  • Cheer up

    I tuned into the show, but all I heard was the host raging about the president of the United States. It’s getting old, don’t you have anything more creative to talk about?

    Love the show. Can after action report be put in its own feed? I don’t like that as much and I don’t like it mixed in this feed.

  • 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.

Q: What should I do about a friend's girlfriend with strong body odor who has a kink around it?

After Action Report #36
