| 0:19.4 | podcast about internet culture. |
| 0:21.8 | And today I am joined by Junklin Hill. |
| 0:24.2 | Welcome back, JQ. |
| 0:25.6 | Hey, it is so good to be back on The Show of the Moment. |
| 0:30.0 | The Show of the Moment. |

| 1:36.2 | the Bachelorette. She is, they kind of did something they don't normally do, which they did |
| 1:42.2 | not pick someone who was a previous contestant on the show to be lead. They picked Taylor Frankie Paul, who's the lead of the |
| 1:49.9 | Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. I don't know if you are caught up on this season, but it was very |

| 2:05.6 | Yeah, I have not caught up on the most recent season, but Vic and I spoke about this. |
