| 0:00.0 | You're listening to a Stranger podcast, www.com. |
| 0:05.8 | If you're stuck in a relationship quandary, or if you're looking for sexual harmony, |
| 0:15.8 | while there's nothing you can't ask on the savage mudcast |
| 0:23.2 | It's October 12th. |
| 0:25.8 | The midterm elections are just a few weeks away, and I'm going to take a break from the sex and smut of it all. |
| 0:31.7 | Not that I mind the sex and smut of it all. |
| 0:33.4 | I love my chosen career. |
| 0:35.1 | I don't focus. |
| 0:36.3 | Talk a little bit about politics just for a second. |
| 0:38.5 | The election is three weeks away or so, a little more. |
| 0:42.9 | And I'm going to make a prediction. |
| 0:44.8 | I think that the Democrats aren't going to do as badly as everyone has predicted that they will do. |

And he's done a lot of good, but he's turned out to be a little politician, and that kind of like a little heartbreaking, particularly for the gays that he promised so much for.
