Look, Matt is VERY SORRY about all of the recent repeating episodes, and he's decided to make it up to you by weighing in on the very upsetting story of the woman who gave birth to the wrong embryos. The egg signal goes out for a woman who is wondering if there's anyone else out there with a disability who is married to a trans woman who froze her sperm prior to transitioning (we assured her that there was, so please, show yourselves!). We also hear from listeners with advice for nurses and for anyone looking for a daycare. Plus, Matt finally gets his review of the Encore Boston Harbor! Hosted on Acast.

Matt can't believe Doree let him sleep late AND is letting him go to Vegas, so it must be a trap. Or is it??
