“If I believe that we are all inherently worthy just by being human, how can I feel that way when I feel I’m doing ‘nothing?’” — Anna Bondoc from Los AngelesSo many of us are raised to believe that hard work is what makes us valuable; many of our professions and even our identities as helpers are on hold.

Just when you thought you understood the world, Dan chats with open relationships guru Tristan Taormino, to tell you to CLOSE IT UP. Monogamy is where it’s at these days. Just for a while. A woman in a long distance relationship is trying to embrace video sex. But she worries that she doesn’t look sexy when she’s truly pleasuring herself. How can she learn to do the “performance” of video sex, and still get off? On the Magnum, Dan calls up Searah Deysach from the feminist sex-toy store Early to Bed, to talk about “sleeves.” What are they? What are those bumps? Where can I get me one?

Maybe you’re stuck at home, like the rest us. Maybe you’re looking for something to binge, like the rest of us. May we suggest Brooklyn Nine-Nine? You’ve seen the premise of the police procedurals on network television countless times. The cops are good at their jobs. They’re quick and witty when it comes to solving crime. Brooklyn Nine-Nine has some of that – but subverts the genre through comedy. It’s a deeply warm, deeply funny office sitcom. The police at the precinct care about their jobs, they care about each other. The show was created by Dan Goor, along with Mike Schur. These days, Dan’s the showrunner of the show. We talk with Dan about the latest season of Brooklyn Nine-Nine. Plus, why he left working for Conan to work on Parks and Recreation – and why the shift was a struggle at first. You can stream all seven seasons of Brooklyn Nine-Nine, including the new episodes on Hulu.
