Susie starts off the show with a light-hearted look at vagina steaming. What's that, you ask?

In his recent piece called "Why Monogamy Matters", he said that women with minimal or virginal sexual experience are the happiest women in the land. Oh! Oh!

Today, Susie has the real story behind Playboy's decision to discontinue the centerfold. The world is abuzz with the news that the leading gentrifier of "girlie mags" will no longer publish nude photos.
