How many men want to have sex with Maleficent? Quite a few apparently but not my husband, Bart.

Also, for that one person who wrote in their unpopular opinion that they love spoilers, this episode description contains zero spoilers.

Goodbye privacy.

Hair Me Out

Listeners beware! Your unpopular opinions are about to be exposed. What is most unnerving though is that these opinions may not be as unpopular as you assumed. Cling wrap in the fridge?
