| 0:00.0 | Hello, wait for it listeners. I hope you're enjoying the show. And I want to invite you to check out another |

| 1:41.9 | It's a very playful examination on masculinitys. And the everyday way |
| 1:50.8 | it shows up and the insecurities and the ways that men try to connect with each other. And |
