You're listening to the Savage Lovecast, Dan Savage's Sex and Relationship Show for grownups.

If you're under 18, get out of here, young and...

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

while there's nothing you can't ask on the Savage Mubcast.

Hello and happy holidays, beloved micro listeners.

We are re-releasing this magnum interview with Ezra Klein as a thank you for listening.

Of course, Ezra Klein is the op-ed writer for the New York Times

and the host of the Ezra Klein Show. His political analysis keeps me informed and sane, and both Dan

that day does come, I guess my second question is, how can we

heal from this? We really want to be friends later on. We're planning on taking some time

apart and not talking for a while and then circling back. But if you had any advice on

how to best handle the situation, that would be greatly appreciated.

Joining me to help answer this question because why not, Ezra Klein, he is a journalist,
