| 0:00.0 | You're listening to the microversion of the Savage Love Cast at Savage.loaf. |
| 0:23.2 | Did you hear about the Pope? It happened a couple of weeks back. You probably already heard about it. |
| 0:28.3 | The Pope told NUNS that they needed to delete the porn from their smartphones. |
| 0:34.4 | That was kind of funny. Didn't see that coming. It wasn't on my 2022 bingo card, as they say. |
| 0:40.4 | But yeah, there's a couple of weeks ago. You probably already heard about it. You probably already |
| 0:43.8 | heard about Elon Musk buying Twitter, taking control of Twitter last week. That has been an |
| 0:49.3 | unfunny shit show. But you probably heard about that. Did you hear, though, about the National |

| 1:52.4 | a tax on the mathematically challenged, which is how Roger Jones, professor of mathematics at |
| 1:57.9 | DePaul University in Chicago put it. It's just a nice way of saying as other people have said that |
| 2:02.8 | lotteries are attacks on stupidity. I bought my lottery tickets this morning and I don't want |
| 2:09.2 | you buying one is that will decrease my chances of winning. So don't you be a fool and waste your |
