| 0:00.0 | You're listening to the micro version of the Savage Lovecast at Savage. Love. |
| 0:04.7 | If you're stuck in a relationship quandary, or if you're looking for sexual harmony, |
| 0:14.3 | well, there's nothing you can't ask on the Savage Lovecast. So, the governor of Tennessee, Bill Lee, signed that state's anti-drag bill |
| 0:28.5 | last week. It is now a crime punishable by up to six years in prison for repeat offenses |
| 0:33.7 | to do drag anywhere a child might see you in Tennessee, even in Nashville, where every day |
| 0:40.1 | children can watch entire bachelorette parties puke off the backs of party tractors rolling |
| 0:45.5 | up and down city streets. This new law could also make it illegal for a trans person to leave the |
| 0:50.9 | house dressed in their own clothing. The law is ambiguous in how to enforce the law, whether raid drag bars to make sure everyone in them is over 21, |

| 1:30.1 | Bill Lee, who also just signed a monstrous law, criminalizing gender affirming care for minors. |
| 1:36.4 | And Bill Lee once appeared in drag in public at a school and, boy, oh boy, girl, oh girl. Governor Lee lee she does not like being asked about what she |
| 1:48.3 | done did in 1977 at a press event the governor was confronted with that photo and he called any |
| 1:56.3 | comparison between the drag show bill and a yearbook snapshot, ridiculous. |
| 2:01.5 | What a ridiculous, ridiculous question that is. |
| 2:05.1 | Conflating something like that to sexualized entertainment in front of children, which is a very |
| 2:12.0 | serious subject. |
| 2:13.5 | Okay, it's all harmless hijinks when they do it. |
