You're listening to the micro version of the Savage Lovecast at savage.love.

If you're stuck in a relationship quandary, or if you're looking for sexual harmony,

while there's nothing you can't pass on the Savage Lovecast.

Hey everybody, I sound terrible because I feel terrible.

I am sick.

You can probably tell from the sound of my voice.

So I'm going to try to keep things short here at the top because you don't want to listen

And thanks to the cold meds and sleepless nights

and hacking and coughing, things are going to be pretty scattered in this week's intro. First up,

The White Lotus. This is only going to make sense to people who are watching the second season

of Mike White's genius anthology show set at an upscale resort this time in Sicily. If you don't

know what the White Lotus is,

it's basically the World Cup for people who don't care about sports. And the World Cup, of course,

is sports for people who don't care about human rights. Anyway, to the White Lotus fans out there,

Ethan loves Harper, but he doesn't want her. But the minute Ethan thinks his old college friend Cameron, who Ethan has recently

lapped professionally, but Ethan still holds onto some bitterness about having been lapped

by Cameron romantically at frat parties a dozen years ago when they were still in college

together, the minute Ethan thinks Cameron might want to fuck his wife Harper, or maybe did

fuck his wife Harper, Ethan suddenly wants his wife again in the worst way. But instead of

recognizing that Cameron may have done him a favor, Ethan is furious. By contrast, Cameron and his

wife, Daphne, they joke with each other about cheating on each other.
