Just a bit in but wanted to comment
1) Super appreciate the opening song choice. A++
2) I was excited for a dumb self-indulgent crossover between Soul Eater and the Monster High cartoon and now I'm really let down that it's not about Death the Kid but Black and his exciting adventures getting with all the girls from a doll cartoon.
Edit
3) Psychology guy isn't wrong about the basics of psychology (perceptual distortions, the way some women feel insecure about porn, porn addiction stuff generally being snake oil), he just takes them to the most asinine conclusions. I feel really sorry for anyone who's seeing that dude for therapy.

I think the condom review guy did the dick in the box trick for the hellraiser 2 date. Except he put his dick in a puzzle box. Then when she solved it he said, "The box. You opened it. I came."

Sorry to be a bother but I can't find the download link on the episode page anymore. I always download the episodes to my phone for offline listening later but with the latest change to the embedded player the option seems to have disappeared completely. Can you please help?

Oh hi! Glad you said something.
So as it happens, I was screwing with the MP3 player during this episode to see if I could get it to use a json on the transcription (https://codepen.io/ahoylemon/full/PoNzWoe) I generated (short answer: yes, but the transcription was too crappy to bother).
Anyway, while I was in there playing with the settings, I was looking at the "Files" tab, and I thought "This is probably a useless piece of UI. With all the ways available to listen to this episode, surely nobody is going through the pages and downloading the mp3s directly from the page."
So what I'm saying here is: Thank you for providing usability testing! I didn't know yours was a use case, and I've just added the "Files" tab back in.

Oh, good! I like to download the eps so I'm not constantly using site bandwidth* whenever I feel like re-listening to them, and it's a lot nicer having a dedicated link instead of mucking about with Chrome's Inspect function.
*I grew up during dialup it's all I know OK

Just wanted to chime in and say that I always download them too, so I'm glad you added that back in! When my internet gets spotty, it gets annoying to have the file stop playing multiple times, so I like just downloading it when I can and playing them without having to worry about it.
Thanks for putting that back in :D

My previous boss had a mantra: "The way to tell if something is important to users is to delete it and wait to see if someone complains".

Again, happy it got brought up. I always have to guess how other people listen to the show, since all our data is really widely spread out over a lot of systems.
ANYWAY, enough of that boring crap. Let's go back to talking about the episode!
I liked this one a lot. Boots did crazy shit to your boobs.

Look he just changed the stats a little bit, he didn't do anything to any boobs. Besides the only woman in the party is a lizard person who does not have boobs. This is a joke for only Boots. He has encouraged me to share jokes no matter how few people they are for.
-
I also download episodes whenever they come out to have something to put on shuffle whenever I do long chores so thank you for adding that back in
btw before anyone thinks about doing a The Sex Stories from Sex Stories.com episode bear in mind that the majority of posts on the site are long, boring, british, and/or gross (as in actually not-fun-to-read-about kinks). there absolutely is more than a few episodes of content there but you need to sift through at least a couple hundred posts and most of them involve momfucking in some way
-
I just want to know how sexstories.com managed to program their user registration software to only accept people with traumatic brain injuries.

I think that's more a function of the audience demographic in the first place. How many people normally think, "Hmm, I want to read the sexual stories of people I have never met! I wonder if there is a website?"

And like all of his other sexual encounters, that one ended with someone saying "Jesus wept."

Ed Longshanks made me so fucking mad on so many levels. I want to strangle this man.
Good job, this is the content I live for. (Unironically)
-
Ed Longshanks is an authentically terrible person and I hope EroticChristian.com stopped existing as a condition of his divorce. (I'm also a really big fan of the theology of "if you have a sin that you really like, maybe it's not a sin and God wants you to do it.")
Anyway! Love the condom reviewer whose review is basically I DON'T USE THIS PRODUCT, GOODBYE + humblebragging about getting laid during Hellraiser 2. For some reason, the deadpan statement about the Hellraiser 2 humblebrag made me really lose my shit.

Every single one of those sex jokes was such old man humor it's crazy
Also chiming in to say I download the MP3s both because I keep a collection of eps so I don't have to redownload them (they get synced across my computers with the rest of my music library because I'm a dweeb) and so that I can use something that has volume controls.
When podcasts don't give me links to the MP3s I break out the web inspector.

THE CURSE OF THE WITCH OF THE MUMMY'S TOMB, August 18, 2020, 06:14:39 am
I was getting a very strong "nobody under the age of 60 uses this website" vibe from the whole episode, tbh
-
I just plug the RSS into my music player and it downloads the MP3s for me.
-
I just listen to them when they come on the radio
-
Man, who can listen to them on radio it's like 50% commercials these days

The Monster High bit triggered a dormant memory in me of my last year in highschool. For her major project in multimedia one of my friends was going to make a video series about a highschool... of monsters!
I didn't think much of it while listening until the succubus love interest was mentioned and had her name. I was very concerned for a few minutes that what was being read was also a thing I was briefly filmed acting out, but thankfully I remembered that the character I played, the best friend, was not in fact a werewolf but a gay ghost.
-
I mean, really, "(high) school but monsters" is a pretty solid concept, which is why there's about a jillion of them. Though usually it's more "LOL that dracula is doing a football!" and less "Underage succubus love triangle in the bullied nerd group"
-
Really interesting to hear Andy Rooney's take on Trojan Fire and Ice.
-
Loved the condom review where the guy just looked at the product and didn't use it. Also loved just how awful that erotic christian guy was. Hopefully he's divorced now.
Anyway I also occasionally download these to my phone to listen to during long road trips & plane flights so thank you for restoring the download button.
