Riding the Bonoboville Streamer into a brand New Year – with a Happy Nude Rear – we resolve to “Go Bonobos in 2024.”

Unfortunately, our Peace Train turns into a Bullet Train midway through the Tunnel of Love.

At least, we dodge the bullets, fending off the faux fighters, war-lovers, booby traps and beautiful, wily attention bunnies, and we manage to come out of the tunnel making love not war in 2024.

Nevertheless, it’s a bumpy ride, perhaps portending a rough year ahead, though everyone survives to live and love another day, so maybe it’ll all turn out okay. Who knows what this new year will bring?

We could guess, and even before we start this ride, I’m reluctant to hop aboard, being a little under the weather. Plus we’re short-staffed, and everyone is still a bit holidazed, as well as shellshocked by all the war porn, wrenching images of death and destruction from the hellscape that is Gaza under Zionist bombardment with American ordnance.

DaLove & BeLove

But Capt’n Max and I have surprise in-studio guests from out of town: one of our favorite couples, seven-time “Most Bonobo Couple” SUZY award winners Danièle Watts, aka DaLove, and Brian James Lucas, aka Chef Be*Live, aka BeLove, stars of our Bonoboville Reunion, featured on Vice TV (now having surpassed 300,000 views!) and much more.

So, we put on our headsets and gather ’round the Speakeasy bar, speaking about the “unspeakable,” with Unscene Abe bartending the broadcast. As always, BeLove is a gracious guest, and delightful DaLove slips into her usual position of contrarian – maybe a little more contrary than usual – beginning by sweetly but firmly insisting on calling Bonoboville a “family.”

I prefer to say we’re a “community” which tends to have less baggage than a family, but DaLove wants to “unpack a little of that.”

And “unpack” that baggage she does, with her signature “poetic” flair, flinging its contents throughout the Train, practically pulling the whole baggage rack down on the other passengers. Fortunately, no one gets hit by DaLove’s flying panties or shoes, as our little Love Train braves the turbulence, even picking up a couple of other passengers along the tracks.

Porn star Hamilton Steele regales us with his torrid Tales of the Billionaire Class as seen through the eyes of a gigolo/sex worker who literally “fucks da rich.” For instance, one cock-size fetishist insisted they measure each other’s manhood. Another wealthy Cuckold hired Hamilton to play the Bull screwing his Hot Wife as he sat happily watching and smoking expensive cigars on sheets and towels worth more than Hamilton was being paid (Hamilton confesses to evening things out by pilfering a few towels – to which DaLove asserts she would have done the same as I voice mild disapproval).

Then Christopher Gagliardi calls in from the snowstorms of Englewood, New Jersey to thank us for his “Most Bonobo Graduate” SUZY Award (his ninth!) and express his New Year’s resolution to share “be a voice for change” for autism, as well as spread “humanism” through our “peace through pleasure” movement. I applaud Chris’ “courage” in staying pleasure-positive in this sex-negative and quick-to-cancel culture. Chris also vows to study hard at Felician University, where he is the proud host of his own college radio show.

We don’t want to empathize with Benny Net Nut!

Several themes recur, including the quirky joys of amputee sex, about which regular Callin’er Gerbil Penis drolly comments, “my penis cannot compete with a leg stump.”

We also consider the proliferation of war porn even as regular porn is more censored, though DaLove confesses to just discovering the wholesome pleasures of Pornhub.

Trying to put the brakes on DaLove’s apparent inclination to derail the train, plus her mounting desire for more erotic action, I whip her half-Happy Nude Rear, then BeLove spanks it, wholly happy and totally nude.

It’s also the third anniversary of Trumpty Dumpty’s Insurrection, aka “Coup Anon,” if you’re tuned in live, but we’re too busy with DaLove’s attention-grabbing antics to acknowledge it.

No “Radical Empathy” for Net Nut

We love DaLove and BeLove, but upon examining the “radical empathy” involved when actors like DaLove play the parts of, say, narcissists like Trump, and war criminals like Benjamin Netanyahu (aka Benny Net Nut), Max and I realize another reason why neither of us pursued acting careers.

We’re also out of time, but DaLove has a lot more to say, leading us all into on-air dust-ups that are entertaining (or so we hear from our engrossed audience), but uncomfortable. Max and I are passionately antiwar and want to end the show on a peace-through-pleasure note, but deliciously naughty DaLove appears to have a passionate fetish for provoking us.

Finally, we come to the end of the line – at least for this show, with a plea for the world, including ourselves, to cut through the chatter of our devices, our intellects and our negative emotions – to go bonobos into 2024.

Listen up to this riveting show and… Make Kink Not War!
