Folks, it's a show about relationships. And occasionally Overwatch. And now Bigfoot. That's right, we found Bigfoot and he's tearing this relationship apart, Lisa! We also have a big fat question box this week, where we discuss ghosting, searching for the reason a relationship didn't pan out, and how to ask out a friend without making it weird.

Happy Thursday Tote Gang, we're happy to be here with you. And boy do we have a show for you. We've got another great week for the question box. Six whole questions!

It's a very special week this week on account of our dear friend Dylan is in the house. And he's here to help us save some friggin relationships.

#35 The One Where Donovan Dies feat. Mucinex

Oh man it's cold out, the days are shorter, and illness is running rampant among the RFTB team. Arthur may be out of hell but Donovan is in the seventh circle of congestion. Blech. We're out here saving relationships though, despite our troubles. We talk fetishes and where they may become a problem. Kpop obsessions and celebrity crushes and if that's gonna be a problem in your love life. Gay porn on your wife's phone even though she claims she doesn't approve of porn.

This week we're lucky to have some special guests, Nashville musicians Greg and Caroline, the minds behind musical goodness also known as Stasney Mav, Sleeptalkre, and The Queen and King.

#33 The RFTB Halloween Spooktacular!

The moon is full and the werewolves are on the prowl. Bats zoom through the sky and accidentally turn into their human form in mid air and fall several hundred feet onto unsuspecting trick or treaters, terrifying them! And Arthur is haunted by the specter of heartbreak and is handling it questionably. But we're here for him, because it's the RFTB HALLOWEEN SPOOKTACULAR! We tackle hypothetical infidelity, the splitting of costs, penis envy, the realities of careers and relationships, being single...

#32 Folks!

What's the deal with tote bags? In this episode we crack open our aspirational stand-up notebooks and share some of our musings at the top of the show. If you can make it through that, there's relationship advice galore! We dabble a bit in pubsecent reunions, post-coitus avoidance and text deciphering. We hit up the question box for some fan engagement. We explore the topics of ghosting and cat phishing. It's good!

#31 Tough Love and the Cat Ham

We're livin the high life folks, except it's that LIGHT high life. We talk light beer, the magic of booze, and Donovan ripping ass while trying to show off at the gym. The beer is smooth and so is he. On the other hand sometimes you can't just rip one right in life's face. Sometimes there are loved ones' feelings involved, even if objectively their music or massive collages or personalities just aren't that great. Or maybe they're 80-something and nearing death's door and you might want to suck ...

#30 Dirty Thirty

What's good in Tote Land? This cool episode, that's what. Donovan sees it coming, then Arthur shares an awkward interaction with an old. Remember, if you're planning a trip, respect your trip buddy's feelings about strip clubs. Your flaps are fine. Don't let yourself get sucked into your partner's couch spiral. If you're the funny guy, lean into it. You can use the phrase "No srsly" though. Learn to DJ and throw parties at your place if your friends wanna go out all the time and you wanna stay i...

#29 This One's Gotta Lotta Tunes

Oh man, dear listener, this one has some good ones. And some segment theme songs by our very own DJ Rocketnerd. And some musical drops.But we promise nothing crazy loud like that Linkin Park episode. Also Dono with a special segment on spotting tinder bots. It's RFTB episode 29 rock and friggin roll! Nighttime cock sleeptalk, chewing on lips like they're bubble gum while you're making out? What? Your comically bourgeois family rejecting your mere commoner of a fiance. An anonymous question box q...

#28 Segue-O-Rama

How about we go from doing what you were just doing, to listening to the podcast while doing what you're doing. Did you feel that POKE in your chest? It's Radio Free Tote Bag! Arthur saw The Nun. It sucked. We answered some question box queries and y'know what? It was dope. Remember these things. Puke happens. If presented with the opportunity, enter the pillow fort. Maintain appropriate distance. GO TO THE DOCTOR IF YOU'RE GREGNANT. Don't offer your friends up to strangers for threesomes. Follo...

#27 Don't Eat Guinea Pigs

Oh boy Donovan broke out the boxed wine and you know what that means! Time to talk about munching guinea pigs and scorpion love. Clitoris-adjacent convo and partner communication. Your poor girlfriend's heinous parents eating butter packets and crumbs and hypothetically dining with Augusto Pinochet. Your partner's laugh? Come on don't hate on it! Demi Lovato's laugh? Heinous, hate it for sure. We end with a fake laughing game and end up laughing for real.

#26 THE HEAT

We're bringing THE HEAT on this one! Look, if he's high fiving you that much, he wants to shred you. You better just block her and move on if she comes out the blue after 3 months. Perform some ex-based reconaissance for your friends. WANT-WILL-WON'T! DO IT! But DO NOT talk shit about your gregnant wife while she's on bed-rest. Respect the fish tanks and address the issue. Official Radio Free Tote Bag "Is this cheating?" scale coming soon!

We're so happy to have Xavier and Brooke of The Bellowing Pines join us for this very special episode! Here, we discuss mucus walls, The Devil's Lettuce, egg donor self-harm cop call cheating, ex-coworker inpropriety, cross-cultural dating with arranged marriages and long-winded family memembers. If only to show them how dank-nice you are you gotta spill the beans. Dodge the whole scenario and hit the airhorns on this conversation. Don't be afraid to shoot your shot, even if her family might fin...

#24 Upsides

You gotta try to look on the upside. We open on a poetry reading, that's pretty good. Arthur's voice is beat af, but that gives him more gravitas, that's good too. Your homeboy bangs your crush? You're eskimo brothers now. Boyfriend asks if you're pregnant in a creepy way? He's family oriented! Condoms in the house after a business trip? He's cheating responsibly! UPSIDES EVERYWHERE. Classic masculinity is repressive, we all know this. If you open him up then don't be surprised when he's more op...
