0:00.0 | You're listening to the microversion of the Savage Love cast at Savage.loaf. |
0:23.0 | For those of you who weren't online this week or missed SNL this weekend, |
0:26.7 | a guy, a tri-guy who was also a wife guy had an affair with a coworker who is not a guy, |
0:33.8 | and the discovery of this affair, which featured in a supporting role, Harry Styles, a guy who |
0:39.6 | tried skirts and got accused of queerbaiting, the discovery of this affair that the tri-guy had |
0:44.4 | led the other three tri-guys to kick the wife guy tri-guy out of the tri-guys, which the three |
