| 0:00.0 | You're listening to the micro version of the Savage Lovecast, www.com. |
| 0:06.5 | If you're stuck in a relationship quandary, or if you're looking for sexual harmony, |
| 0:16.0 | well, there's nothing you can't ask on the Savage Lovecast. |
| 0:24.8 | I've gotten a lot of emails from Bernie Sanders supporters, and I am a Bernie Sanders supporter, too. |
| 0:31.1 | I am also a Hillary Clinton supporter. |
| 0:34.2 | I am for Bernie. |
| 0:35.6 | I am for Hill. |
| 0:36.9 | Or I am for both. Or either, go Burnhill, Bill, Burns, whatever. Go Democrats. That's me. But I've gotten a million emails for the last couple of weeks telling me that Hillary Clinton was wrong on marriage equality back when Bernie Sanders was right on marriage equality.
