How do I not fuck with every guy that I start talking to, you know, not signing them up to fake joke of the day subscription services,  getting locksmiths off Tinder to fix letterboxes, sending a guy to climb up onto my neighbour's roof etc etc? These are the questions I so desperately seek the answers to.

After the traumatic experience I went through, I decided I wanted to stop being an asshole to every guy I talk to, but where the fuck do I start? The answer was to get my dear friend Brum on the podcast and to give me some training lessons on how to date properly.

We talk about all of the unanswered questions from the last episode, including what happened to the 'Pod Before Rod Guy' I had to call and give the HIV news to,  what happened when he listened to the podcast, am I still talking to him, and was there anything else wrong with me after the final test results came back? 

Although this episode is a lot more light hearted than the last, we do go deep into mental health and the importance of checking in on your mates with more than just asking if they're okay. After convincing everyone in my life I was okay for so long when in reality I was at rock bottom, how can you properly check in on someone even if they tell you they are doing good?

Although my results were a false positive, we talk about what it is like living with HIV in this day and age, the medication that's now available and the latest research that has been done.
