| 0:00.0 | You're listening to a stranger podcast, www.w.com. |
| 0:05.5 | If you're stuck in a relationship quandary, or if you're looking for sexual harmony, |
| 0:15.1 | while there's nothing you can't ask on the Savage Lovecast. |
| 0:23.1 | Hey everybody, welcome to the Savage Lovecast. |
| 0:25.2 | I'm Dan Savage, and this is the once a week out loud version of my sex advice column, Savage Love, that runs in alternative weekly newspapers all over the universe. |
| 0:32.7 | The number here, if you'd like to record a question for a future podcast, 206, 201, 27, 20. |
| 0:41.3 | We have a lot of calls to get to. |
| 0:43.3 | Let's get to him. |
| 0:44.8 | Hi, Dan. |
| 0:45.8 | I love to call him, by the way. |
| 0:47.4 | And I've sort of a conundrum with my sex life, so I thought I'd call you. |
