The episode contains frank descriptions of sexual acts, advice about sexual acts, jokes about sexual acts, famous people reading poems about nipples not involved in sexual acts, Rod McKuen, and sex. Podbean does not condone or approve of anything that's on this episode and your Parents are also very disappointed in you. FEATURING: Martin Mull, Albert Brooks, Rusty Warren, Jayne Mansfield and some of Broadway's weirdest hits.
