Scott Eason and Rayna Cahill are not experts on sex, relationships or really anything for that matter. They're comedians and therefore it is their birthright to have a podcast and they chose to do this one. They give their male and female perspectives about love, sex and everything in-between, offering advice (good or bad, you be the judge), funny insights and sometimes real educational and enlightening information. Give it a listen. You just might learn something (sexy...something sexy).
