| 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, |
| 0:16.3 | well, there's nothing you can't ask on the Savage Mubcast. |
| 0:24.0 | They're going to the polls in Alabama today. |
| 0:27.9 | And the choices between a former prosecutor who sent men who murdered little girls to jail |
| 0:31.8 | and a credibly accused sexual predator, alleged, who preyed on little girls, allegedly. |
| 0:38.4 | Since the prosecutor in this U.S. Senate race, Doug Jones has a D next to his name, and the |
