This week, Brianne is a reluctant snake advocate, the Reuben finally gets the exit it deserved all along, Melanie is bringing a delicious and trustworthy muffuletta, the US Military is roughly the size of a barge, Rock Lobster breaks down walls, and Subaru execs buy gay yachts.

Content warnings: snakes, homophobia ranging from subtle to murderous, homophobic slurs, beating deaths, 35:00-41:25 and 50:20-52:30 have particularly graphic descriptions of violence and resulting injuries, 54:00-56:00 discusses rape and resulting suicide.

This week, the US military's anti-gay methods always backfire, a researcher wants a do-over, lead paint poisoned papaws are too emboldened, Alfred Kinsey and Joe Exotic appear in the same sentence, and the government loves to watch. Thank you for your patience with some uneven audio this week!

Content warnings: comparisons between homosexuality and incest/rape, brief recap of topics covered in previous episodes, PTSD, military service, mention of sexual assault, forced psychiatric confinement, involuntary outing, burning death, mistreatment of remains, homophobia, graphic discussion of lobotomies, medical torture, sexual solicitation and murder of children (brief and not graphic), graphic and painful murder of gay man by cops, riots/uprisings, police brutality.

This week, Oprah is wrong, Brianne drives the horse, Madison's grandma loves Jurassic Park, Lisa delivers the funeral kidnapping tea, Meagan's Grammy has a tramp stamp, Taylor has the best wedding gift, Serena is her granddad's favorite but not a limo driver's, Kaitlyn has a funeral crasher, Brianne keeps a list of Melanie's enemies, Sarah pours one (Dr. Pepper) out for a lost loved one, Bea makes an unpleasant discovery, Melanie is employed by Philip Morris, Riley's grandmother can't avoid the golf ball forever, a shitty uncle hires some muscle, Allison needs some gloves, Ann is not marked safe from her sister, Michelle's aunt passes Brianne's vibe check, and we all raise a glass of whatever we drink to the patron saint of Marked Safe - Aunt Vada.

Discussion of various forms of death and grief throughout, implied mention of CSA, discussion of sexual harassment in Disaster Relief.

Donations to the Arkansas Nurses Honor Guard in Aunt Vada's honor can be made at the bottom of this page or mailed to Arkansas Nurses Honor Guard P.O. Box 112 Imboden, Arkansas 72434.
