Judson recounts a weekend trip upstate and forgets an unforgettable hookup. Brian envies his husband's incredibly successful week of hookups, one so plentiful it allowed him to forget one, too. The two then commiserate about the preparation required for bottoming. Brian discusses his tenth trip to see "Oh, Mary!" and his fifth Mary, Jinkx Monsoon. Judson explains why he chose a trip to Arkansas to celebrate his tenth wedding anniversary. Both are very turned on by a "Hookup of the Week" that's far more about the thrill of the chase than the act itself. After the break, Brian shares his heartbreak after some of his family's main sources of joy became embroiled in hot-button political situations—and on the wrong side. In his quest to be helpful, he shares to-do lists from transgender rights expert Chase Strangio that provide guidance for what cis and trans people can do to aid in protecting the trans community. Judson offers tips for navigating conversations about complex topics one doesn't feel knowledgeable about. The episode closes with a "Go Ask Your Dad" question from a listener in the beginning stages of opening his relationship, who is curious about how to incorporate the Love Languages into the process.
