Summary

A man's friend came out when they were in high school. Now after a sojourn to the desert to "pray away the gay" the tortured closet case is "church hunting for a bride." Can his pal talk him out of this? A woman's co-worker tried to kiss her at work, despite her unrelentingly professional demeanor, and complete lack of interest. Now they have to go on a work trip together. How can she bat him away? Should she skip the trip? On the Magnum, Dan chats with a kink expert about choking. Anybody have some better words for pussy than...pussy? 206-302-2064 The Savage Lovecast sponsored by Casper, an online retailer of premium mattresses for a fraction of the price -- because everyone deserves a great night’s sleep.

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,
0:16.1	well, there's nothing you can't pass on Savage Lovecast.
0:25.6	Elections, as they say, have consequences and our most recent presidential election.
0:31.1	More consequential than most.
0:33.4	One of the consequences this week, today as I sit down to record the top of the show,
0:38.0	is watching the president-elect of the United States wage Twitter war on Merrill Streep.
0:45.1	Megan McCain jumped in to assist Donald Trump in waging war on Merrill Street,
0:51.0	saying that Streep's speech and others like it at Golden Globes are the
0:54.4	reason why Donald Trump won the election. Donald Trump winning the election isn't something that
0:58.9	Megan McCain opposed. Megan McCain was for Donald Trump, wanted Donald Trump to win the election,
1:05.0	in part because she just couldn't support Hillary Clinton because Bill Clinton cheated on his wife.

1:30.3	So Megan McCain owes her very existence to an adulterous affair, which makes Megan McCain throwing stones at the Clintons and their marriage.
1:38.3	Just a little gallant.
1:39.3	Sorry about the Megan McCain aside. Not actually what I want to talk about. I want to talk about elections have consequences. Sometimes in the U.S. they have fewer consequences than they might by dint of our
1:48.8	gridlocked by design political system, all these checks and balances and that prevents parties from
1:57.3	perhaps delivering on the promises they make to rile up their base. And this can instill in people
2:02.3	cynicism. As Nathaniel Frank pointed out in his terrific book that you should probably pick up and
2:08.4	read if you haven't read already, I am rereading it now. What's the matter with Kansas? Republicans
