0:00.0	Betches media presents. Madame Speaker, Madame Vice President. You want to hang out with us and get your back seat?
0:07.6	And so I went to human resources. There are some things I just can't tell you on air. The Betches sub-podcast.
0:13.7	A woman's problem if you will.
0:18.8	Hello, I'm Amanda Duperman. I'm Sammy Sage. And I'm Millie Tumeras. And this is the Betches sub-podcast.
0:25.3	We're seeing Sammy's group chat topic process and laugh at the biggest topics in U.S. News and politics.
0:30.8	I feel like Joe Rogan today. I'm in our new podcast studio. And the only podcast studio I've

1:32.9	about his vaccination status. I didn't expect this story to become a two week prolonged story,
1:39.5	but there's now all of this sort of like it seems seems like the the response to Aaron Rodgers
1:44.3	has become a story unto itself. What was you guys' understanding of Aaron Rodgers before all
1:48.8	of this? Did you know who he was? Yeah, yeah, partly because he's like one of the more famous
