Today is Paul Tran’s Birthday. Let’s all wish him a happy one. Here is your horrorscope via Astrology.com :

You need to reach out to someone today, but you shouldn’t expect them to reach back — not at first, anyway! Your energy is best spent finding compromises and ensuring that the process is fair for all.

Well, I don’t know about reaching out…but I have a feeling you will be in some compromising positions tonight! Happy Birthday!!

On tonight’s special double-sized episode the group discuss (or is it discusses??) gay adoption, changing your name after marriage when you’re gay, the top 5 traits women want in a man, and Germany’s Chancellor Angela Merkel’s declaration that multiculturalism has failed. Marriage equality is discussed. Psylocke is also mentioned, as is Liu Xiaobo. Also, this is a link to the Arcade Fire/ computer program Jon and Paul were talking about. Oh, and tensions run very, very high.

What…………. a train wreck. The one time Jon didn’t wear headphones is the time Paul’s mic isn’t turned on. Luckily, his voice is so full of bass that it was captured on other mics-so it isn’t too bad, but I apologize and promise to always wear my headphones in the future. On today’s show the cast talks about Brett Favre’s penis, ESPN’s Body Issue, Facebook users top reasons for de-friending, a rise in UK married couples living in separate houses, and the Gap’s new logo (that didn’t last long). The cast also discuss a group protesting Abercrombie & Fitch and Brazil’s Google Maps controversy.

Today’s featured song is “Cracked Door” by Dove Hunter.
