“Would you have Elon Musk’s baby?” Sarah texted Nancy the other day, to which she responded, “Fuck no.” Thus launches the latest Smoke ‘Em debate, in which our co-host who is without child confesses she’d take some of that SpaceX sperm. Has she lost her mind, or is she merely responding to nature’s imperative? We discuss this, as well as Musk’s new babymama, Ashley St. Clair.

Then it’s on to a double-dip from New York Times Magazine: “Why Gen X Women are Having the Best Sex” and “How I Learned That the Problem in My Marriage Was Me.” Is 20th-century licentiousness dead? Has therapy bled too far into the culture?

Also discussed:

* Diet Pepsi > Diet Coke

* “On accident” vs. “by accident”?

* Sperm ice cubes at the 7-Eleven

* Milo Yiannopoulos has entered the chat

* Can you make yourself sexy or nah?

* Netchix and flill

* Nancy declares she does not like declarative sentences

* The saddest divorce book

* Why does Nancy get so annoyed when people talk about their sex lives?

* Sarah’s string of younger men

* Moynihan’s not kicking those bikini-clad girls out of bed

* Women have rage problems, too

* Announcement: CHEFS TALK!!!

* “The thing about Led Zeppelin songs is, none of the names make sense.”

Plus, the speedball of intimacy, the obsession with being obsessed, Nancy gets a crush on Jimmy Page, and much more!

Correction: Listener Mavis wrote: “In ‘Iphigenia in Forest Hills,’ she killed her child’s father, not her daughter!” Absolutely correct! Nancy regrets the error, and for more Janet Malcolm, see this week’s hot boxes
