Bonus #202 - McDade's Maniacs Vol. 15 w/ Andrew Manning [PATREON PREVIEW]
Summary
A listener asks if he should hire a sex worker in Asia before his wedding, noting his fiancée suggested it. The hosts strongly advise against it, arguing that his hesitation indicates he isn't built for such an experience and that the situation could be a trap or lead to guilt. They warn that the act might open a Pandora's box of addiction and highlight the ethical concerns of potentially exploiting trafficked individuals. The episode concludes with the hosts joking about a hypothetical Bourdain sequel and reiterating that the listener should stick to the "straight and narrow path."
