| 0:00.0 | You're listening to the micro version of the Savage Lovecast, www.com. |
| 0:06.6 | If you're stuck in a relationship quandary, or if you're looking for sexual harmony, |
| 0:16.1 | well, there's nothing you can't pass on Savage Lovecast. |
| 0:25.0 | Years ago, I was working on a book called Skipping Towards Gomorra about the Seven |
| 0:28.5 | Deadly Sins in America. |
| 0:29.8 | And for anger, one of the Seven Deadly Sins, I went to Texas and shot a gun. |
| 0:34.1 | I've never really held a gun, never shot a gun in my life. |
| 0:36.6 | But I went to a shooting range in Plano, Texas, and hired a gun. I've never really held a gun, never shot a gun in my life, but I went to a shooting range in Plano, Texas, and hired a gun shooting coach and shot a gun. And it was kind of a crazy day because at the end of this gun shooting thing that I did, what I learned about myself was I was really good at it. I was really, really good at sticking my arm out and pointing a gun at a thing and shooting that thing. |
| 0:59.0 | I kept getting bull's eyes. |
| 1:00.4 | I was a really good shot. |
| 1:02.2 | And at the end of the day, this big old Texas good old boy, who is my gun coach, clap me on the back and said, |
| 1:08.2 | Son, you're natural, which is not something I get called in Texas or anywhere close to Texas very often. So I'll take it. And what I came away with was, you know, you reach a certain age, stage of life where you stop doing things that you've never done before. You stop doing new things. So you stop finding sort of innate, hardwired talents that you happen to possess because you're |
| 1:29.2 | not just out there trying shit like you are when you're young and so who knew i was a really good |
| 1:33.1 | shot as i wrote in skipping towards camor it would be like charlton heston who was still alive at the time |
| 1:38.3 | at his advanced age discovering that he gives a really wicked blowjob but you know he wasn't giving blowjob so he never found that out. But I felt like Charlton Heston finding out he gave a great blowjob when I found out that was a really good shot. I had that same feeling this weekend when I discovered a new skill, something I was really good at. I went to the Seattle Seahawks championship for their division whatever game this weekend, |
| 2:02.0 | and they won, and I was really good at it. |
| 2:04.6 | I was really good at sitting there watching football, |
| 2:07.2 | which is not something I ever thought I would be really good at. |
| 2:09.6 | It helped that I was in a luxury suite at the invitation of Luke Burbank, |
| 2:14.2 | who is the host of the awesome podcast, Too Beautiful to Live, |
| 2:17.2 | and you should be listening to that one too. He invited me, and I went with my husband, Terry, and we sat in this booth and we drank champagne and looked out at the proles and the hellots and the stands below us and watched the game. And we were good at watching the game. I mean, you just have to sit there and eat and drink, and I'm good at that generally. I've been good at that for a long time, but I never thought I would be good at that watching a football game. Because there's certain things you just don't do when you're gay. And I know that now I'm going to get calls from gay people who are sports fans who have been doing this all their lives. But when you're the kind of gay I am, |
| 2:51.7 | you just don't do this. You don't watch football games. And maybe you would have enjoyed it, |
