| 0:00.0 | Well, well, well, we are back for another episode of Popapologist, Chandler. Hello. |
| 0:08.4 | Hello, co-host. How are you today? I'm good. Our listeners might have noticed, Chandler, |
| 0:15.5 | that this episode did not start off with any intro music, okay? And the reason for that is we are in an |
| 0:23.5 | intro music crisis. Hashtag, this is a crisis. Bethany Frankel, if you are listening, please post |
| 0:30.0 | about this. Our intro music, it sounds like, it sounds like you're in a washer machine and your entire ear is getting |
| 0:41.6 | vacuumed. It's so painful. No. Excuse me. At the same time. It's so painful. It's like you're |
| 0:48.4 | in a washer machine and you're trying to listen to music from like 20 years ago on like a razor |
| 0:52.7 | phone. Yes, exactly. And the decibels, |
| 0:57.1 | I swear we have probably damaged our listeners. I don't want a class action lawsuit actually. |
| 1:02.9 | So I'm just going to put while I'm ahead. But I will say that we are just, we come before you |
| 1:10.2 | with a need for new intro music and potentially also |

| 1:16.8 | Okay, well, I just have to say, I feel so grateful and I have to tell the listeners of the |
| 1:21.4 | audience, thank you for not hating us because of our intro music, because like I kind of |
| 1:25.4 | hate it, but I'm just surprised that we haven't gotten more hate. We haven't gotten any hate but now people are going to learn to load it as I have |
| 1:32.8 | but we are going to introduce some new intro music. I do believe Chandler I have a solution. Are you |
| 1:39.0 | ready? I'm so glad because you it's nice for you to introduce this problem and to also have a solution |
| 1:45.9 | because I thought you were just going to leave it like we hate it and we have to figure this out. |
| 1:49.7 | No, no, no. |
| 1:50.5 | I'm not just, I do hear a little bit of drilling in the background. Is that, is that the new intro |
| 1:55.1 | music? That is the new intro music channel. |
| 2:01.5 | I just thought some light drilling whenever we were about to record would actually be more pleasing than our current intro music. |
