If you're stuck in a relationship quandary, or if you're looking for sexual harmony,

while there's nothing you can't ask on the Savage Lovecast.

Well, gee, a lot has happened since I recorded last week's intro a few days in advance.

C.K. Takai, Mark Halperin, Brett Ratner, Ed Westwick, and of course, Alabama's finest Roy Moore.

he was arrested a few months later for child molestation, and Pastor Atkins is in jail now, where he belongs.
