| 0:00.0 | You're listening to the micro version of the Savage Lovecast at Savage. Love. |
| 0:05.1 | If you're stuck in a relationship quandary, or if you're looking for sexual harmony, |
| 0:14.5 | well, there's nothing you can't ask on the Savage Lovecast. |
| 0:21.6 | Big news to start the show this week, I finally saw Challengers, the new Zendaya film about three tennis pros. And it was, it was okay? I mean, your ability to enjoy the film really does, to a great extent, rely on you knowing something, anything at all about how scoring works in tennis. |
| 0:44.5 | And I don't know anything at all about the very confusing scoring system in tennis. |
| 0:51.0 | So during the big match that the entire film is built around, this big match, |
| 0:55.8 | this grudge match with the power to save a marriage, I had no idea who was up or down or |

| 1:48.5 | why do straight people have to make it so weird? |
| 1:52.0 | These three nice straight kids and their six nice thighs could have had a nice normal polytriad |
| 1:59.2 | with a little MM action now and then, |
| 2:01.3 | a little makeout session now and then between the boys to turn the girl on. |
| 2:05.4 | But no, we couldn't have that, couldn't have a nice normal thruple. |
| 2:09.9 | We had to have a deeply conflicted, fucked up love triangle with rivalries and infidelities and tennis scores, monogamous people love to say how |
| 2:21.9 | exhausting polyamorous relationships sound, too much processing, too much scheduling, too much |
