If you’ve ever who you struggled with dicks in your life, then
do we have the Don’t Be a Dick, show for you!
Today I’ll be talking with Mark B. Borg, Jr, PhD, a licensed
clinical psychologist and psychoanalyst, the co-author of
Irrelationship, Relationship Sanity, and author of his latest work
on not becoming dick-free, Don’t Be a Dick!
And that’s just what I want to talk with him about today, about
what it means when we attract dicks into our lives, how to deal
with dicks, and how to know if we’ve become dick’s ourselves.
That plus we’ll talk about Satyagraha, hospitality, stone cold
dicks, the danger of Impletives, nuclear snubs, what on earth is a
grawlix and what in the world is a turd hurdler???
