Kirk and Maegan finally sit down to have the dreaded…you know…THE TALK. The birds and the bees. In Episode 013, we review Napoleon Hill’s chapter on The Mystery of Sex Transmutation. Do all geniuses have a high sex drive? Is withholding a good way to motivate your partner to achieve? Is The WeekNd’s new movie “Hurry Up Tomorrow” worth watching? Kirk regrets bringing up Barry Keoghan. Maegan reveals her feelings about partnership. The word “like” is used 75% fewer times. All in this week’s episode of the Self-Help Hangover podcast.
