Summary

In this episode, the hosts examine fan fiction about Josefina Montoya. After quickly realizing that there was a comparative dearth of material about Josefina and the Montoyas, Allison and Mary got to work and commissioned their listeners. As we are now all fond of saying, "Tia Dolores did it," and in this case, you did, too. Through the written word and through song, listeners took action and demanded new pasts, futures, and journeys for Josefina and Tia D. We consider the major trends and the bleak plotlines imagined by Josefina's fans. In the realm of pop culture, we also give our takes on the elite politics of Succession and the artwork of Amalia Mesa-Bains. Stick around for the end of the episode when we announce the winner of our first ever #GOAT Goat Writing Contest.

0:00.0	Oh,
0:02.0	in the spirit of fan fiction and telling stories that are maybe too real,
0:07.0	I need to just let you know about a dream that I had about you this past week.
0:12.0	Oh, lovely. Well, know you can wait on that and see if
0:15.8	you would describe it as lovely so I had a dream in which I was pregnant and
0:21.3	for reasons I don't recall I couldn't or did not want to
0:25.2	keep the baby and instead I wanted to kind of make some money so I didn't even want to
0:30.9	give the baby up for adoption, but for some reason you
0:34.4	approached me and were like you can make some money here and you offered to find a
0:39.0	buyer. Is this a metaphor for this podcast? Um, be. See this is the kind of
0:44.0	interpretation I want from you. So I'm having this dream and it's one of those
0:47.5	dreams where you know you're dreaming while it's happening and you're like
0:50.4	God where is this coming from? This is so weird.
0:52.8	So anyway, I'm like freaking out like, oh my God, I'm too young to be a mother, even in a dream,
0:56.8	which is obviously not true, but moving on.
0:59.8	I'm just about to have a baby and I, like,

1:03.7	potential buyers and it's going to be great and you're going to meet them so the first
1:07.7	person comes in and we have a conversation I don't remember and before the person
1:11.8	leaves it was a guy you stop him and you're like sir I just need to let you know like if this makes a difference to you that she is only 51.
1:19.3	Did it make a difference to him? Basically you were like if you want to use this to get a lower price I'll help you because it's fair.
1:26.7	This feels stunningly accurate to our relationship. You basically were like I'm and I was
