It’s America Day so you knooooow this episode is going to be real horny. It’s a short ep what with the holiday and how bad we are at podcasting, but we talk about the true meaning of the holiday - feeling excluded by culture because of how Not Straight we are. Also, we don’t understand the fascination with sex, we don’t get why sex is a good thing to see with your eyes, and we can’t conceive of how sex is somehow a thing that is good.

Whoa hey yup I don’t run this blog very good hoooooboy whoooops

Which is to say, here’s the most recent episode! Sorry I didn’t post 10 or 11, 10 is actually great, and 11 is pride themed, but you know what, here’s the unedited short one from July 4th because it’s recent and I’m trash. We try out our sexy voices, that’s pretty fun, if your definition of fun is very particular.

It's a musical extravaganza to welcome you back this week! Be prepared for lots of music and dancing, although not usually concurrently. Also, we come up with two tangible albeit terrible pieces of actual advice, continue our trend of hot-to-the-minute pop culture references, and flirt with copyright violations.

Whoa whoops I have fallen out of the habit of posting these on here which defeats the purpose of having social media soooooo

anyway, this episode exists and it’s here and you can listen to it! What service! It’s weird because we recorded it in the same room together and that’s also (at least part of why) it sounds bad, and why we spend time just doing actual dancing on this, an auditory-only medium.

Rhodes and Marina are pancakes, anyway. Chances are, if you are listening to this, you are too, but maybe you are a water droplet. I don’t know your life. In this episode, we explore the purest form of human connection - ranting in mutual agreement that someone else’s opinion is wrong, like a relay race of supportive shouting. Also, we conduct not one but two deep dives in 2000s era television, congratulate Rhodes on his good math joke, and revel in the concept of genetically modified sexy door ladies.

This episode is a good one for those times when someone has been saying some crazy shit to you. It’s communal yelling about weird bullshit that a grown-up fratboy spouted at Rhodes and I this weekend, and we welcome you to join in on the screeching. ‘People aren’t inanimate objects though, they are people, how is this hard to understand?!?!?!?!!’

Or listen on iTunes if you like that better.

Sexuality. It's a little more fun than death. Frankly, this one comes out as a bit of a bummer as we talk about labels and fitting (or not fitting) into the LBGT community. We get real about some of the difficulties of being ace. Also, we practice our communicitation skills, make some totally audible hand-gesture based jokes, and continue to be unrelentingly asexual by assuming that everyone agrees that having less people wanting to sex you is a good thing.

Do you have lots of feelings about whether asexual spectrum folks belong in the LGBT community? Don’t tell me about them unless they are in the affirmative because I don’t need that negativity in my life!

This time we get into some deeper issues and address some of the difficulties and fears aces can face out there, but then we got back on track talking about dumb stuff at the end. But, fair warning, it does contain some discussion of ~discourse~ before the return to sophomoric sex humor.

Also, you could listen on iTunes!

You want to hear us patter on endlessly about ice cream because Rhodes doesn't understand metaphors? Probably you don't. So the good news is that we only do that for a solid 8 minutes. Also, we reminisce about awkward middle school plays, kind of just body-shame the concept of bodies in general, and struggle to pronounce heteronormativity.

Lemme tell you about a little thing called episode 2 of Every Sixth Sec. Or maybe just listen to it. This time, we get really, like really r e a l l y confused about bodies. Like, that people can look at bodies and be like, ‘mmm yes I want to sex that because of the flesh shapes happening.’ I think we’d be more understanding of that if we didn’t use the term ‘flesh.’ And also if we were less ace.

Or you could also listen over here on iTunes!

You might want to laugh at this at some point in the future. It's a comedy podcast about asexuality! Oooooooooooooooh!! We aren't the ideal hosts to talk about sex and relationships, because, well, mostly we don't get it.

The first episode of Every Sixth Sec! Honestly, it’s been a while since we recorded this one and that description I wrote isn’t very descriptive of what is inside this hour-long ear show. But if I had to guess, I’d say it’s the one where we discuss how we identify on the asexual spectrum and make lots of nervous, bawdy jokes.

You can also catch us on iTunes!

HELLO!!!

Welcome to Every Sixth Sec, a sex and relationship podcast by those least qualified to host it. Which is to say, Rhodes and Marina, a sibling duo that are pretty hella ace. 

It’s an asexuality comedy show, where we try to stay on topic and discuss what it means to be asexual, how we feel we fit into the world, what dating is like when you aren’t interested in kissing and all the ~stuff~ that comes after kissing. But ‘try’ was an important word in that sentence, so we also talk about ice cream and Blockbuster Video and musical theater and stuff. We’re new to this and not always very good at it, but maybe give us a listen. 💜💕💜
