| 0:00.0 | You're listening to a Stranger podcast, www.thesanger.com. |
| 0:05.7 | If you're stuck in a relationship quandary, or if you're looking for sexual harmony, |
| 0:16.0 | while there's nothing you can't ask on the Savage Lovecast. |
| 0:24.6 | I've said for years, and finally, the science is there to back me up. |
| 0:29.3 | That's happened to me before. |
| 0:30.4 | I said for years that female sexuality was a lot more fluid than male sexuality, |
| 0:33.6 | and people would jump down my throat, and then the science roared in to back me up, |
| 0:37.4 | and now everyone can go and fuck themselves science roared in to back me up. |
