0:00.0	You're listening to the micro version of the Savage Lovecast, www.com.
0:05.9	If you're stuck in a relationship quandary, or if you're looking for sexual harmony,
0:15.9	well, there's nothing you can't ask on Savage Lovecast.
0:24.5	I spotted a few tweets last Tuesday from Lovecast listeners, upset that they would have to wait a whole week to hear my thoughts on the Nashville statement.
0:33.2	Nashville statement, if you miss the news, is a brand spanking new manifesto, cranked out by old
0:39.4	evangelical Christian leaders, all the usual suspects. That, for all the news it made, Nashville
0:44.5	statement trended on Twitter for two days. It didn't actually tell us anything we don't already know

The God of the New Testament in another bit of awkwardness for right-wing evangelical Christian
1:44.4	leaders approves of loving your neighbor, not judging others, and paying your fucking taxes.
1:50.2	Anyway, if you're a listener to The Gist Slate's daily podcast hosted by Mike Peska, you didn't
1:55.1	have to wait a whole week to hear what I thought of the Nashville statement because I guest
1:58.7	hosted the GIST on Thursday while Mike was on vacation.
2:01.8	Thank you, Mike for inviting me, and went off, as the kids used to say, on the Nashville
