| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Pick Me Up, I'm scared. The podcast. I'm your host, Madeline. And I'm your co-host, Kenna. |
| 0:28.7 | Okay, Kenna, today I wanted to ask you, were you ever suspended from school growing up? |
| 0:34.8 | No, I was a good girl. Okay, but, okay, here's the thing, though, |
| 0:38.9 | everyone thought I was bad because I was, like, goth and hung out with, like, all the bad kids |
| 0:44.7 | or, like, was, like, in a metal or, like, I did, like, I was no, I was honestly, like, probably |
| 0:51.9 | way better than, like, the youth group kids who were like supposedly |
| 0:55.0 | like all the good kids. But like I got like good grades and was good in school. |

| 1:38.9 | It's terrible. |
| 1:39.5 | It's, like, fucked up. up that's like not how you treat people who are struggling with health care issues but whatever so um |
