0:00.0 | Welcome to Pick Me Up, I'm scared, the podcast. |
0:25.3 | Thank you. Pick me up. I'm scared. The podcast. I'm your host, Madeline. |
0:27.1 | And I'm your co-host, David. |
0:28.9 | And today we are talking about... |
0:33.3 | A punk rock icon. |
0:34.5 | A punk rock icon. I will say that. I think that's true. |
0:37.7 | Yeah. |
