First, Gaby calls a motel and finds that the front desk people are not very good liars. Then, the duo respond to a listener who is trying to date again after being left in a horrible manner by her ex-fiance--something Allison has a lot of experience and advice about. Next, they talk to comedian and romance novel aficionado Jackie Kashian all about romance novels as a genre, how women fans are devalued, and the ways women are portrayed in media written by women compared to media written by men. And finally, family loyalty. Would you put yourself at risk for a sibling who broke the law? Looking at you Chris Cuomo!
