Published: Nov. 3, 2018, 5:18 p.m.

b'In Episode 78, several listeners beg us to share our thoughts on the current political climate \\u2014 no. \\n\\nAfter we get that bullshit out of the way, we\\u2019re able to turn our attention to the bigger world topics like why it\\u2019s important to use Monistat chafing gel as a makeup primer and whether or not work slippers are appropriate. We also meet yet another listener who is reconnecting with previously unknown family members. We also meet a CysterSister and Alison once again attempts to start a dating site. \\n\\nDuring the Absolute Worst Therapy section, we meet a woman who is grappling with meeting her biological father for the first time. AND WE MAYBE CHANGE DANA\\u2019S MIND THIS TIME! Afterwards we meet a miserable attorney whose life we potentially make worse.\\n\\nWe end Episode 78 with an Absolute Yourst that brings the house down\\u2026or at least the sink. \\n\\nAlison and Dana ALWAYS want to hear your problems, advice, feedback and Absolute Yoursts!
