0:00.0 | You're listening to the microversion of the Savage Love cast at Savage.loaf. |
0:23.4 | Well, we got some good news out of Kansas of all places. That good news came last week. |
0:29.6 | A week. It's an eternity now. All weeks have been officially reclassified as |
0:34.6 | attorneys since November of 2016. The news out of Kansas happens a lot of ago that |
0:40.3 | Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson were still together. Joe Manchin and Kristen cinema were still |
0:45.0 | blocking Joe Biden's agenda in the Senate. And that poor woman on Reddit had yet to find the |
