<p>In this episode of <strong>Cheaper Than Therapy</strong>, Rouge opens with a humorous but heartfelt apology to his mom, grandma, and the older generation for never appreciating practical gifts like socks, underwear, and T-shirts when he was younger. Now in his late 30s, he realizes those everyday essentials are some of the most thoughtful gifts a person can receive because they represent genuine care and comfort. He recalls a memorable story about a woman he dated who cleaned out his collection of worn-out clothes and surprised him with brand-new replacements, using the experience to emphasize how the smallest acts of kindness often reveal the biggest signs of love and appreciation.</p>
<p>From there, Rouge leans into one of the episode's biggest themes—personal hygiene—sharing hilarious stories about being the "musty kid" growing up and the embarrassing moment a crush called him out in front of his classmates. Looking back, he laughs at how those experiences forced him to mature and take better care of himself. Along the way, he offers funny observations about old underwear, hole-filled socks, bad breath, and why self-care is one of the easiest ways to show respect for both yourself and the people around you.</p>
<p>The conversation continues with Rouge's signature brand of observational comedy as he comments on everything from Bow Wow's over-the-top do-rag packaging to coworkers with unbearable morning breath and the unwritten rules of offering someone gum or mints. His ability to turn ordinary, everyday situations into laugh-out-loud stories keeps the episode entertaining while subtly encouraging listeners to be more self-aware and accountable in their daily lives. Every topic, no matter how random, becomes an opportunity for Rouge to mix comedy with relatable life experiences.</p>
<p>As the episode progresses, Rouge shifts into candid conversations about dating, intimacy, and the influence of social media on modern relationships. Reacting to viral online debates, he shares his opinions on topics like kissing after oral sex, couples who don't kiss during intimacy, unrealistic expectations surrounding sexual performance, and the role ego often plays in the bedroom. While his takes are delivered with plenty of humor, he consistently emphasizes the importance of communication, mutual understanding, and focusing on a partner's needs instead of trying to impress strangers on the internet.</p>
<p>Rouge also discusses sex toys, clitoral stimulation, and why many men allow pride to get in the way of creating better experiences with their partners. He encourages listeners to approach intimacy with curiosity rather than insecurity, arguing that exploring new things together shouldn't be viewed as a threat to masculinity. Through personal stories and unfiltered commentary, he challenges outdated mindsets while reinforcing that healthy relationships are built on trust, honesty, and a willingness to learn from one another.</p>
<p>The episode wraps up with a hilarious look at what Rouge jokingly calls "male trauma," including the unforgettable pain of missing late-night "you up?" texts and the sleepless nights many young men spend hoping they won't miss another opportunity. Blending outrageous storytelling, self-deprecating humor, and surprisingly thoughtful reflections on adulthood, relationships, confidence, and personal growth, Rouge once again delivers an episode of <strong>Cheaper Than Therapy</strong> that is both laugh-out-loud funny and genuinely relatable, reminding listeners that some of life's best lessons come from embracing your flaws and learning to laugh at yourself.</p>

<p><strong>03:30 – The Woman Who Audited His Underwear Drawer</strong><br>

<p><strong>13:45 – Confessions of Being the "Musty Kid"</strong><br>

<p><strong>25:40 – Bow Wow, Do-Rags & Beauty Supply Comedy</strong><br>
 A comedic rant about overly dramatic do-rag packaging, Bow Wow's poses, and why beauty supply stores are unintentionally hilarious.</p>
<p><strong>29:50 – Morning Breath Should Be Illegal</strong><br>
 Rouge dives into a hilarious discussion about coworkers with terrible breath, gum etiquette, and why bad breath before sunrise is unacceptable.</p>
<p><strong>38:20 – Social Media Sex Debates</strong><br>
 Rouge reacts to viral conversations about intimacy, kissing after oral sex, and why everyone's relationship boundaries are different.</p>
<p><strong>52:20 – Does Longer Sex Really Mean Better Sex?</strong><br>
 He challenges the belief that marathon sex equals better sex, arguing that communication and satisfaction matter more than duration.</p>
<p><strong>1:02:10 – Why Men Shouldn't Fear Sex Toys</strong><br>
 Rouge talks about exploring intimacy, checking your ego at the door, and why couples shouldn't be afraid to experiment together.</p>
<p><strong>1:14:40 – The "Male Trauma" Nobody Talks About</strong><br>
 A hilarious segment about missing late-night "You up?" texts, losing sleep in your twenties, and the emotional damage that follows.</p>

 Rouge closes by joking about preparing your home for company, creating the right atmosphere, and the little details that make adult relationships work.</p>

<p>In this episode of <i>Cheaper Than Therapy</i>, Rouge opens with his usual unfiltered humor and gratitude toward his audience before easing into a more reflective tone about parenting and getting older. A major emotional thread begins when he talks about teaching his seven-year-old son how to tie his shoes. Rouge admits he delayed the milestone longer than necessary because he was emotionally attached to his son’s younger, more dependent stage. This moment becomes a catalyst for a broader reflection on how difficult it is to let go of a child’s early years while still wanting to support their growth and independence.</p>
<p>Rouge then transitions into a wider commentary on generational gaps and how quickly culture shifts. While working in construction, he tries sharing music he considers iconic Bay Area classics, only to realize that younger coworkers don’t recognize or connect with it the same way. This leads into a humorous but slightly sobering realization that he is no longer aligned with younger generations’ tastes, slang, or cultural references. He also reflects on how his own stamina and social energy have changed, noting that late nights, clubs, and heavy partying no longer fit the way they used to.</p>
<p>A significant portion of the episode is dedicated to Rouge’s experience traveling to Turkey for a hairline transplant. He walks through the full journey, including his research process, financial planning, and growing anxiety leading up to the procedure. Once abroad, he describes the surreal experience of navigating a foreign medical system, language barriers, and pre-surgery panic. The tension is broken by moments of humor, especially when he is given anti-anxiety medication that completely calms him, allowing the procedure to go forward smoothly. Ultimately, he reflects on the results and the confidence boost that came with addressing a long-standing insecurity.</p>
<p>In the latter half of the episode, Rouge becomes more introspective, discussing his upbringing in a financially unstable household and how it shaped his understanding of struggle, stability, and survival. He contrasts those experiences with the more secure life he is now able to provide for his children, emphasizing how much awareness has changed with age. The episode closes with a broader message about breaking generational cycles, rejecting the idea that hardship is required for identity or authenticity, and expressing a desire for his children to grow up with stability, opportunity, and less of the struggle he once normalized.</p>
<ul>
 <li><strong>02:20.75 — Intro & gratitude</strong><br>
  Rouge opens the episode, thanks listeners, and sets a reflective tone while joking about life, aging, and being off “the best drugs” (Starbucks energy).</li>
 <li><strong>04:30.444 — Teaching his son to tie shoes</strong><br>
  He shares the emotional realization that he delayed teaching his 7-year-old independence because he was holding onto his “baby” stage too tightly.</li>
 <li><strong>09:01.688 — Music & generational disconnect</strong><br>
  At work in construction, Rouge plays Bay Area classics expecting recognition, but realizes younger coworkers don’t know the artists or cultural context.</li>
 <li><strong>12:49.890 — Aging & nightlife reality check</strong><br>
  He reflects on being in his late 30s, no longer fitting comfortably in clubs or younger social spaces, and how quickly his energy has changed.</li>
 <li><strong>20:53.420 — Accident in the car (dangerous wake-up moment)</strong><br>
  Rouge describes waking up in his car in the garage with the engine still running, realizing how close he came to a potentially life-threatening situation.</li>
 <li><strong>38:41.260 — Pre-surgery anxiety in Turkey</strong><br>
  Before his hairline transplant, he details extreme nervousness, cultural/language barriers, and paranoia about traveling abroad for medical work.</li>
 <li><strong>52:33.164 — Breaking generational cycles</strong><br>
  He reflects on growing up in financial instability and emphasizes wanting to raise his kids in a more stable environment, rejecting the idea that struggle defines identity.</li>

<p>In this episode of <i>Cheaper Than Therapy</i>, Rouge opens the show with one of the funniest and most chaotic stories from his teenage years. What starts as a simple trip down memory lane quickly turns into a wild tale involving a friend’s house, cheap vodka, teenage recklessness, an unexpected interruption, and a confrontation that got him permanently labeled as the troublemaker of the group. Looking back on the situation as an adult, Rouge balances humor with self-awareness, acknowledging how differently he views those moments now that he’s a parent himself.</p>
<p>As the episode unfolds, Rouge shifts gears into a candid discussion about modern relationships, dating standards, and the changing expectations placed on men and women. He reflects on everything from fashion trends and growing up in a simpler era to the pressures younger generations face when it comes to image, money, and relationships. His observations blend comedy and social commentary, creating the kind of honest conversation that feels more like kicking it with a friend than listening to a traditional podcast.</p>
<p>The centerpiece of the episode dives into one of Rouge’s most controversial topics yet: baby mamas, baby daddies, and relationship accountability. With his usual mix of humor and blunt honesty, he shares his thoughts on co-parenting, multiple-parent households, dating people with children, and the decisions people make when building families. While delivering plenty of jokes and exaggerated scenarios, he also explores the importance of responsibility, self-awareness, and making thoughtful choices when it comes to relationships and parenthood.</p>
<p>Rouge also opens up about his own experiences as a father, discussing the realities of co-parenting and the challenges that can arise when new relationships intersect with existing family dynamics. He speaks candidly about jealousy, insecurity, maintaining healthy boundaries, and the work required to build respectful relationships between parents who are no longer together. Through personal stories and lessons learned over the years, he offers a surprisingly thoughtful perspective beneath the comedy.</p>
<p>Packed with outrageous stories, sharp observations, controversial opinions, and plenty of laugh-out-loud moments, this episode perfectly captures the spirit of <i>Cheaper Than Therapy</i>. Whether he’s recounting teenage misadventures, breaking down modern dating culture, or sharing hard-earned lessons about parenting and relationships, Rouge delivers another entertaining and unfiltered conversation that keeps listeners laughing while giving them plenty to think about.</p>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>www.allmylinks.com/itsMoolahRouge</p>
<p>In this episode of <i>Cheaper Than Therapy</i>, Rouge reflects on one of the biggest transitions of his life: leaving a successful trucking career behind to pursue a new path as an electrician. He talks about the reality of going back to school in his late 30s, balancing work, fatherhood, and studying, while also confronting the bad habits he developed over the years. Through stories about procrastination, missed opportunities, and career decisions, Rouge explains why he believes adapting and continuing to learn is necessary in a world where technology and automation are rapidly changing entire industries.</p>
<p>Rouge also shares several personal stories from his younger years, including opportunities he fumbled and alternative career paths he nearly pursued before trucking became his profession. He discusses how easy it is to look back and wonder what could have been, but ultimately concludes that growth is possible at any stage of life. The conversation centers on humility, self-improvement, and the realization that sometimes starting over is the best move you can make for your future.</p>
<p>The tone shifts when Rouge launches into a lengthy comedic rant about vaping and what he sees as the strange cultural shift surrounding it. With his trademark humor and exaggeration, he jokes about flavored vapes, changing definitions of masculinity, and the sight of construction workers and street personalities puffing clouds that smell more like candy than cigarettes. The segment is packed with outrageous observations, storytelling, and jokes that turn an everyday topic into one of the episode’s funniest discussions.</p>
<p>Later, Rouge dives into modern dating culture and the expectations many people bring into relationships. He argues that taking someone on a date or vacation does not automatically entitle anyone to sex, while also criticizing people who use others solely for free experiences and attention. Drawing from his own experiences, he shares stories about dating, misunderstandings, and the importance of understanding intentions before investing time, money, or emotions into someone.</p>
<p>Throughout the episode, Rouge blends life lessons with comedy, moving seamlessly between serious reflections on career growth and hilarious commentary on dating, relationships, and social behavior. The result is an honest, entertaining conversation about personal evolution, adapting to change, and navigating adulthood while trying to stay true to yourself in an increasingly unpredictable world.</p>
<p><strong>00:00</strong> – <strong>Life Update & Career Change</strong><br>
 Rouge returns to the podcast and talks about leaving truck driving behind, starting a new career as an electrician, and the challenges of going back to school.</p>
<p><strong>04:00</strong> – <strong>Starting Over Later in Life</strong><br>
 A discussion about humility, changing careers, older apprentices in the trade, and the reality of rebuilding your life from scratch.</p>
<p><strong>13:10</strong> – <strong>Missed Opportunities & Life Lessons</strong><br>
 Rouge reflects on opportunities he passed up in the past, including healthcare and electrical career paths, and what those experiences taught him.</p>
<p><strong>22:45</strong> – <strong>Why He Left Truck Driving</strong><br>
 A deeper look at automation, self-driving vehicles, AI, and why he believes truck drivers should prepare for major industry changes.</p>
<p><strong>26:40</strong> – <strong>The Great Anti-Vaping Rant Begins</strong><br>
 Rouge launches into one of the episode's funniest segments, arguing that men shouldn't vape and roasting vape culture from every angle.</p>
<p><strong>38:00</strong> – <strong>"Midnight Mango Madness" Story</strong><br>
 A hilarious story involving a friend, a vape flavor name, and an unforgettable conversation that becomes one of the episode's standout comedy moments.</p>
<p><strong>45:10</strong> – <strong>Dating, Expectations & Modern Relationships</strong><br>
 Rouge shifts into a discussion about dating culture, why dates don't entitle anyone to sex, vacation debates, and understanding expectations in relationships.</p>

      <description><![CDATA[<p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>www.allmylinks.com/itsMoolahRouge</strong></a></p>
<p>In Episode 9 of <i>Cheaper Than Therapy</i>, Rouge opens the show with a hilarious rant about social media scams, online security, and why he refuses to trust links sent by older family members. Using a message from his mother as the starting point, he jokes about hacked Facebook accounts, internet fraud, and how scammers often target older generations. The discussion naturally expands into the rise of AI-generated content, where Rouge shares stories about being fooled by fake animal videos and reflects on how difficult it has become to separate reality from fiction online.</p>
<p>As the episode progresses, Rouge challenges listeners with a series of thought-provoking questions. He asks whether people would make it into heaven if admission were based solely on their honesty at self-checkout, leading to a comedic but revealing conversation about morality, temptation, and everyday dishonesty. Through humor and exaggerated scenarios, he explores the small compromises people make and how they might be judged if their lives were put under a microscope.</p>
<p>Continuing the theme of self-reflection, Rouge introduces another hypothetical: would you watch a cinematic version of your entire life if it were available? He considers whether people would be comfortable seeing every moment of their lives replayed and whether they would feel the same way if family members were watching alongside them. The discussion blends comedy with introspection, encouraging listeners to think about accountability, personal growth, and the hidden parts of themselves they might not want exposed.</p>
<p>The episode then shifts into relationship territory after Rouge recounts being unintentionally pulled into a heated argument between a friend and his girlfriend. The disagreement centers around monogamy, cheating, and the desire for a polyamorous relationship, prompting Rouge to examine a larger question: Is monogamy linked to maturity? He challenges the assumption that wanting only one partner automatically makes someone more mature, arguing instead that maturity is demonstrated through honesty, communication, responsibility, and respect for others.</p>
<p>Drawing from personal experiences, Rouge shares his thoughts on ethical non-monogamy and discusses a past situation where both parties openly communicated about seeing other people. He explains how the arrangement worked, the rules that were established, and the emotional realities that came with it. While acknowledging that non-traditional relationship structures can function successfully, he also admits that the lifestyle ultimately wasn't a good fit for him, leading to some humorous stories about trying—and failing—to keep up with a more active dating scene.</p>
<p>Throughout the discussion, Rouge emphasizes the importance of transparency and accountability in relationships, regardless of whether they are monogamous or polyamorous. He argues that deception, manipulation, and poor communication are signs of immaturity, while honesty about intentions allows people to make informed choices about who they invest their time and emotions in. His perspective encourages listeners to focus less on labels and more on how people treat one another.</p>
<p>Overall, Episode 9 combines comedy, personal storytelling, and social commentary to explore topics ranging from internet culture and AI to morality, relationships, and personal growth. Rouge's signature blend of humor and authenticity keeps the conversation entertaining while challenging listeners to think critically about their own beliefs, habits, and relationships. The result is an episode that is both laugh-out-loud funny and surprisingly reflective, offering plenty of memorable moments and meaningful takeaways.</p>

      <title>Can&apos;t Go On Without Meat</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>www.allmylinks.com/itsmoolahrouge</p>
<p> </p>
<p>In this episode of <i>Cheaper Than Therapy</i>, Rouge returns with another unfiltered late-night conversation filled with humor, storytelling, and real-life reflections. What starts as a casual discussion about drinking turns into a chaotic deep dive into the different personalities alcohol can bring out. From his loyalty to Remy Martin to swearing off Don Julio and whiskey after a series of “documented incidents,” Rouge hilariously breaks down the wild situations that taught him to “stick to the rivers and lakes” he’s used to. Between jokes and outrageous memories, there’s also a genuine message about accountability, maturity, and surviving situations that could’ve ended much worse.</p>
<p>One of the episode’s craziest moments comes when Rouge tells the story of a whiskey-fueled night that spiraled completely out of control. After getting dropped off at his baby mama’s place because he was too drunk to function, the night escalated into arguments, confrontations, and eventually a parking lot fight that nearly turned deadly. Rouge vividly recounts how his reckless mindset, ego, and alcohol combined to create a dangerous situation involving guns, fights, and a brutal knockout. While the story is hilarious in hindsight, he also reflects on how close he came to losing his life and how those experiences forced him to grow up and rethink the way he handles conflict.</p>
<p>The conversation then shifts into Rouge’s personal journey with growing his locks and how much confidence, identity, and patience are tied into that process. He talks about starting from scratch with sponge twists years ago and embracing every awkward stage that came with committing to growing his hair out. Rouge shares funny memories about women losing interest once they realized he was serious about locking his hair, only to try spinning the block years later once his hair finally reached its full potential. Beneath the jokes, he speaks on self-confidence, staying committed to personal growth, and learning not to seek validation while going through your “growing pains.”</p>
<p>Rouge also dives into relationships, emotional detachment, and the idea of “spinning the block” with old situationships. He questions what really makes someone worthy of another chance and whether certain betrayals permanently close the door on reconnecting. Throughout the conversation, he reflects on how people often bend their own rules for the “right” person, while also admitting that once someone truly breaks his trust, he has the ability to emotionally shut off completely. The episode balances comedy with honesty, turning reckless memories and relationship talk into deeper conversations about pride, boundaries, and emotional survival.</p>
<p>Overall, this episode of <i>Cheaper Than Therapy</i> is packed with hilarious storytelling, raw self-reflection, and the kind of chaotic life lessons that only Rouge can deliver. Whether he’s talking about liquor choices, toxic behavior, hair journeys, or failed relationships, the episode feels like a real conversation with someone learning from every mistake in real time. It’s funny, reckless, introspective, and brutally honest all at once — exactly the kind of energy listeners have come to expect from the podcast.</p>
<p><strong>0:00</strong> – Rouge opens the episode with his signature chaotic energy, jokes about his audio setup, and introduces the episode while celebrating behind-the-scenes personal wins.</p>
<p><strong>4:30</strong> – Rouge breaks down his relationship with alcohol, explaining why he stopped drinking certain liquors after multiple “documented incidents,” including wild stories involving Don Julio and whiskey.</p>
<p><strong>12:45</strong> – He tells the intense story of getting too drunk, being dropped off at his baby mama’s place, and escalating a simple interaction outside a restaurant into a dangerous confrontation.</p>
<p><strong>21:10</strong> – The parking lot fight reaches its peak as Rouge describes nearly getting shot, fighting strangers, and ultimately getting knocked out after provoking the wrong people.</p>
<p><strong>29:20</strong> – Rouge reflects on how reckless behavior, pride, and alcohol almost cost him his life, sharing the lessons he learned about conflict, ego, and survival.</p>
<p><strong>35:40</strong> – The conversation shifts into his long hair and lock journey, including stories about women losing interest during his “ugly phase” before trying to come back later once his locks fully grew out.</p>
<p><strong>45:15</strong> – Rouge closes the episode discussing relationships, emotional detachment, and the concept of “spinning the block,” questioning when someone deserves a second chance and when it’s best to leave the past alone.</p>

      <title>Too Romantic</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>In this episode of the Cheaper Than Therapy podcast, Rouge kicks things off with his signature humor and raw honesty, explaining why the episodes are dropping out of order and joking about accidentally wearing the same outfit in multiple recordings. What starts as a simple conversation about clothes quickly turns into a hilarious deep dive into adulthood, routines, and the strange comfort people find in repeating the same habits every day. Rouge’s storytelling style makes even the smallest moments feel entertaining, relatable, and authentic.</p>
<p>Rouge then shares a wild experience from working outside as an electrician, where muddy job-site conditions completely destroyed his clothes and forced him to make a dreaded trip to the laundromat. From overloaded washing machines to people monopolizing rows of washers, he paints a vivid and comedic picture of laundromat culture while reflecting on how much people take household conveniences for granted. The story blends humor with real-life perspective, especially as Rouge talks about bringing his kids along and realizing how different their experiences growing up have been compared to his own.</p>
<p>The episode also dives into Rouge’s thoughts on adulthood and responsibility. He jokes about owning all the “adult accessories” — a house, a car, a job, dress shoes, suits, and side hustles — while still feeling like a giant kid pretending to have everything figured out. One of the funniest moments comes when Rouge proudly celebrates folding clothes fresh out of the dryer, treating it like a major life achievement. Beneath the jokes, though, there’s a relatable reflection on how adulthood often feels less glamorous and more like constantly trying to convince yourself you’re finally mature.</p>
<p>Later in the episode, Rouge tells the story of his 13-year-old son going on his first “two-man” movie outing with girls, leading to some of the funniest and most genuine parenting commentary in the episode. Rouge balances being protective with understanding that kids need room to grow and experience relationships naturally. He humorously breaks down the confidence, nervousness, and exaggerated swagger teenage boys suddenly develop when girls are involved, while also sharing his own perspective on parenting sons versus daughters.</p>
<p>As the conversation continues, Rouge reflects on childhood crushes, teenage experiences, and the awkward realities of growing up. The episode flows naturally between comedy, parenting lessons, personal memories, and cultural observations, giving listeners the feeling of sitting in on an honest conversation with a friend. Packed with hilarious stories, unfiltered opinions, and relatable life moments, this episode perfectly captures the charm and authenticity that make the podcast feel both entertaining and personal.</p>

      <title>You Pissed The Mexicans Off</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Most people ignore the little details that separate chaos from calm—like a clean car or a well-kept house. In this raw, no-holds-barred episode of <i>Cheaper Than Therapy</i>, itsmoolahrouge spills the truth about relationships, responsibility, and the absurdity of modern life with humor and unfiltered honesty. With a brief insight on the Meg and Klay breakup and how celebrity relationships create unlicensed professionals with certificates in trauma. </p>
<p>Forget the fluff—this episode dives into the real reasons why a tidy car or a cluttered house can tell you everything about a person's hygiene, their mindset, and even their potential for chaos. From bizarre house stories that sound straight out of a hoarder episode to the hilarious yet eye-opening take on job quitting etiquette, you’ll discover why knowing when to walk away—and how to do it—can save you from unnecessary stress. </p>
<p>You'll also find out why it’s smarter than ever to get a paternity test before signing the birth certificate, why women in their 40s dominate the game, and how to distinguish genuine from fake digital outrage. Plus, raw insights on navigating the dating world—why young women might not be worth the late nights, and why older women bring real class and stability to the table. </p>
<p>This episode isn’t just about gossip—it's about recognizing the patterns that can ruin or elevate your life, and learning how to choose wisely. Itsmoolahrouge offers a refreshingly candid perspective on accountability, community, and self-preservation in a world full of distractions and illusions. </p>
<p>Perfect for anyone tired of surface-level advice—if you want honesty, humor, and a wake-up call in one episode, this is essential listening. And if you’ve ever wondered why the internet feels like a trap or how to spot the frauds exploiting black trauma, this fiery solo episode has you covered. Tune in for the unfiltered truths that might just change the way you look at relationships, responsibilities, and everyday personal hygiene. Are you ready to get real?</p>

      <title>Why is There Only One Key?!</title>
      <description><![CDATA[Rouge kicks off this episode with an intricate breakdown of his disdain for Walmart and the way they run their operation. He then offers a contrast with how Costco is run. Moving things along Rouge gets into a topic that was brought up while conversing with a woman he met regarding why men are no longer approaching women to shoot their shot. Speaking of men shooting their shot, Rouge explains why he no longer goes out to enjoy nightlife in groups or does the whole "your friends and my friends can be friends". Hold that thought. Does every woman have good cat and it just takes the right man to unlock it? Or is it possible that some women just don't got it?  Is it possible that wack cat is passed down from generation to generation? Finally we finish off this episode with an uneducated analysis of the female anatomy, cus who better to break down the science than someone who is NOT a scientist. www.allmylinks.com/itsMoolahRouge

      <title>Why would I hogtie her?</title>
      <description><![CDATA[The very first episode comes in hot with a rant about Starbucks. Rouge then gets into the inner working of sharing locations with family and friends "for safety" now that he's entered the apple ecosystem, which has led to more judgement than help. A much needed discussion is then had on the topic of dirty macking where Rouge shares a childhood story about how such egregious behavior was conducted involving him and a girl he was talking to. Later in the episode Rouge gets into how the club has evolved from a social place where people used to dance and intermingle with strangers, to a popularity contest where everyone is too busy on their phone instead of actually enjoying the club. To close the episode Rouge breaks down the importance of men having emotional maturity when conducting themselves on the internet. Specifically ranting and arguing with women whom they don't even know. www.allmylinks.com/itsMoolahRouge
