| 0:00.0 | You're listening to a Stranger podcast, www.com. |
| 0:04.2 | If you're stuck in a relationship quandary or if you're looking for sexual harmony, |
| 0:10.8 | well, there's nothing you can't ask on a sadist podcast. |
| 0:16.4 | This week, as promised, we have a one-minute wonder show where we ask callers to limit their questions to a minute or less. |
| 0:22.5 | And we're going to tear through as many of those one-minute questions as we possibly can in the next 45 minutes to an hour. |
| 0:29.5 | But first, an apology. |
| 0:31.4 | I got a couple of angry emails from people wondering why last week, last Tuesday. |

| 1:29.5 | be pregnant if it had been rape. Anyway, Aiken didn't say anything that Paul Ryan actually |
| 1:35.1 | hasn't said, doesn't agree with. Paul Ryan doesn't believe there should be an exception |
| 1:40.0 | for rape or incest of the Republican Party platform this year, which they're working on down there in Tampa. |
