| 0:00.0 | You're listening to the micro version of the Savage Lovecast, www.com. |
| 0:06.8 | If you're stuck in a relationship quandary, or if you're looking for sexual harmony, |
| 0:13.8 | while there's nothing you can't ask on Savage Lovecast. Karen Bailey and Nelda Majors have been together for 57 years. |
| 0:29.4 | They live in Arizona, which is where they met. |
| 0:31.4 | They met in college. |
| 0:32.5 | They have a home in Scottsdale where they live 57 fucking years together. |
| 0:36.8 | They were the first same-sex couple to marry in Arizona. |
