You're listening to the micro version of the Savage Lovecast, www.com.

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.

Lots going out out there.

The House passed the Equality Act and Joe Biden's stimulus bill, which is good.

The Senate has not yet gotten rid of the filibuster, which is bad.
