It was an absolute delight to welcome TDWS favorite Aidan Wharton back to the show, for his first-ever Fucked-up Friday. He presented a double-whammy of sex-related stories that will make you cringe.
Was it enough to win for most fucked-up story of the week? You’re gonna need to listen! The competition starts just after the halfway mark.
Dana DuBois’ pitch is live as a story on The Daily Whatever Show, and you can read it here:
But you’re gonna have to listen till the end to find out who won.
Next Friday we’ll be joined by Zulfina Khud, aka The Feminist Lens—so you know that’s gonna be a killer episode. Mark your calendars!
We love you, mean it!
XOXO
Dana DuBois & Lawrence Winnerman
