A very happy Feast of The Ass to you all! We asked you to send us your carols and boy, did you ever deliver. Hear a smattering of our picks, and we unearthed an olde choral piece that you and your family will surely treasure. A man has been dating a woman for two months. It's going well, but her body type is too thin to turn him on. He tries to feed her extra food, but should he flat out ask her to gain a little weight? On the Magnum, everyone is talking about Babygirl- the new erotic thriller starring Nicolle Kidman. Dan brings on author and podcaster Rebecca Woolf, who has written about women who have been societally shamed or stigmatized for their sexuality, infidelity, and/or refusal to subscribe to social norms. They dish over the movie and argue about the ending. Spoiler city. And, a woman's boyfriend makes orgasm noises that repulse the caller. Is there anything to be done?

Before we start this week's show, I just want to say our hearts go out to everyone in the Los Angeles area who's been affected by these wildfires, which are still burning. People have lost their homes, loved ones, possessions, pets. I know people in LA are really pulling together right now. A special shout out to my friends in LA who've opened your homes to people who've lost theirs.
Terry and I made a donation to World Central Kitchen, which is feeding firefighters and displaced people in LA right now, and to the Wildfire Recovery Fund at the California Community Foundation. I recommend both of these charities. If you're in a position to help, please do. Okay, now we're going to start the show.

Come and celebrate the feast of the ass. So hard and fast we'll penetrate through the ground that we'll amass. Oh, eat, taste the holy feast. The climax soon will pass. And celebrate the feast of the hour.
Happy Feast of the Ass to all who celebrate. I've heard from people, I've heard from listeners who are having special Feast of the Ass parties tonight, where they will be exchanging glazed Bundt cakes, the traditional Feast of the Ass treat, and spending the day or spending the evening or the night with loved ones or sitting on the faces of loved ones.
For those of you who aren't caught up on your love casts, for those of you who missed the show that came out on Christmas Eve, December 24th, and my interview in that show with medieval historian Dr. Eleanor Janaga, quickly to summarize, the Feast of the Ass was an annual holiday, a feast day celebrated by Catholics.
And this was at a time when all Christians were Catholics, you know, what my grandma called the good old days. And this holiday was ostensibly held by The excuse for it was the flight of the Holy Family into Egypt after King Herod ordered the execution of all boys under age two in Bethlehem when he heard that a king had been born in Bethlehem.
Mary and the baby Jesus, with Joseph at their side, fled into Egypt on the back of a donkey and ass. And the holiday officially celebrated the donkey's role in saving the life of baby Jesus, who his father sent down to earth to die for our sins, but not yet. later. Three decades and change later.
But really, as Dr. Yonaga explained to us on the show December 24th, the Feast of the Ass was a party for people who needed a party in mid-January. The Feast of the Ass fell off the calendar centuries ago, which left us without a festive holiday to look forward to between Christmas and St. Valentine's Day. So we decided here at the Lovecast to bring back the Feast of the Ass.
