This show is dominated by technology. Video game technology and sex technology. Apparently something we’ve been using during sex for the past 400-years could be improved with today’s know how. That’s what the former CEO of Microsoft thinks anyway. More on that shortly.

We start the show with a recap of SOME of the highlights from E3. If you try and cover it all and talk about everything that interests every gamer, you’d have a 12-hour podcast. The big three: Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo seem to garner most of the attention. For me, there’s a moderate interest in what Sony is doing, although I’m not a fan of any other device the company makes. Microsoft is there… but I don’t care. And as for Nintendo, I have a genuine concern for the company and its… direction. Among the numerous titles both exclusive and cross-platform that was announced each company had something extra to go along with them. Sony introduced their Roku. The PlayStation TV will let you watch Netflix, YouTube and other streaming services and play just about any PlayStation game whether it’s PSP, Vita or PS1, PS2 and PS3 titles via their upcoming PlayStation Now service.

Microsoft announced the Xbox One will now start at $399… gee, thanks.

And over at Nintendo, they’ve decided you need more gimmicky bullshit to go along with your tennis racket and steering wheel controllers. Amiibos are small figurines that will collect your game performance and stats info. Set the Amiibo on the Gamepad and it’ll unlock features and abilities in games like SUPER SMASH BROS. that are exclusive to that Amiibo character. You’ll be able to choose from Mario, Link, Donkey Kong, Kirby and six others at launch. The Amiibos will work with a few specific games for now. But more will likely be on the way.

Now to the sex portion of the show. Last week I forgot to read a story about a new product called the “Galactic Cap”. I don’t miss it this time. It kicks off the sex half of the show — which doesn’t sound right does it? Bill Gates and his wife Melinda are on the lookout for a new type of condom. They’re awarding hundreds of thousands of dollars to inventors all over the world who think they’ve got the next best condom idea. The logic being that current condoms aren’t much fun to wear, and if we can come up with one that is, more men will wear them all across the planet and the cases of HIV and other STIs will be greatly reduced. The Galactic Cap was NOT one of the eleven ideas awarded grant money. So its creator, Charlie Powell is taking it to Indiegogo. Part of the reason why his condom of the future wasn’t chosen might be because of its complexity. Jabari makes a good point on today’s show that some people can’t even use current condoms the right way. Plus, the G-Cap really only protects against pregnancy. In fact, because it only covers the head of the wang, your chances of catching or spreading an STI are HIGHER than using a normal condom. More on this and a number of other condom ideas — some much better — on today’s show.

The growing movement to make pot legal in the US seems to be spawning even more pot products. People have put THC in brownies, cookies, lollipops, candies and more. I once had a milkshake made with hemp. Anything to get high without getting arrested it seems. Now, it’s being put into lube. The makers of “Foria” say their coconut and cannabis oil blend can be rubbed directly on the vagina or it can be taken orally. It’s not really designed for guys though. It’s meant to heighten a woman’s pleasure while not getting her high… unless you take it orally… or you listen to claims that the THC can be absorbed through her vagina and can make her high. However, Foria’s makers say that won’t happen.

Guys have a few sex toy options out there when it comes to vibrators. Battery powered cock rings, those prostate stimulators that look like some torture device from a horror movie or your cell phone to name some. Well just like the condom, there could be a NEW version to ‘shake’ things up. It’s called “Pulse” and it’s the first “guybrator” designed by Adam Lewis. He took a medical technique used to help paralyzed men reach orgasm and applied it to this gizmo. It primarily stimulates the frenulum part of your schlong but the underside of it vibrates for her too! So you can use the thing solo or while having sex. Find out more about it in the Show Links.

Is there something out there you’d rather do, own or eat over having sex? A number of recent studies have had some surprising results. Men and women alike chose some pretty interesting things over having sex with their partner. This begs the question: what’s up with their partner? But also, is sex supposed to be the greatest thing ever that nothing else compares to? For some, the answer there is yes. But clearly, not everyone puts making woopie at the top of their to-do or want-to-do list. Flatscreen TVs, sleeping and a cup of hot chocolate are just some of the things some folks want over sex. We look at these and more on this week’s show.

And our final story of the night not only sticks with our ‘sex’ theme, it’s an update to a story we told you about seven episodes ago. You may remember the tale of a New York cardiologist who claimed he’d been drugged by strippers and was unaware they’d charged over $100,000 on his Amex card. We poked fun at the guy and didn’t believe his story. I’m not sure anyone else did either. Well, it turns out he was telling the truth! And there were other victims! After a lengthy investigation, four strippers and a club owner were arrested for running their little roofie racket.

So there you go… video games and sex… two pleasures in life some can’t do without. And maybe one of these days a study will show some people would choose the former over the latter. Or maybe Nintendo or Microsoft will announce a sex video game at next year’s E3. If either of these things happen, you can bet we’ll be talking about it on our show.
