Cleaning things up so you can get extra dirty. That’s the philosophy of Ask A Clean Person columnist and podcaster Jolie Kerr. Tina had the misconception that a cleaning expert probably wouldn’t share some of her disgusting interests, but Jolie defies expectations with her dirty mouth and filthy mind. In this episode, Jolie gives tips for using ketchup to clean leather strap-on harnesses, and using meat tenderizer to clean up period blood; and Tina tells a very personal story about an anal catastrophe.

This summer while Tina was visiting Austin Texas, she had an extremely personal and poignant conversation on with her old friend Mickey Mod. Mickey opened up about his career as a porn star, how stigma changes when you fall in love, and why the double standard of the “interracial” porn genre is an economic justice issue.
