| 0:19.6 | Having fun lessons with Jen Kirkman episode 3401, where does the time go? June 24th, 2020? |
| 0:28.6 | Day 90? Let's figure out what day of quarantine this is. I went into shelter in place on March 13th. |
| 0:37.6 | So it's June 24th. So that's roughly April, May, June. That's roughly 90 days. |
| 0:49.6 | About 101 days. About 101 days in quarantine. Holy shit. I am Jen Kirkman. I am a comedian. |
| 1:00.6 | My two comedy specials are streaming now on Netflix. They're called I'm gonna die alone and I feel fine and just keep living. |
| 1:08.6 | I'm also a best-selling author. You can find my two books anywhere that you buy books. Obviously you can find it on Amazon. |
| 1:14.6 | If you're an indie bookshop supporter, that's great. Go to indiebound.org. They'll tell you where you can order it to support your local bookshop. |
| 1:22.6 | My books are called I can barely take care of myself. A memoir about not wanting kids and all the shit people give me about it. |
| 1:28.6 | And a second book called I Know What I'm Doing. In other lies, I tell myself about turning 40, getting divorced, being in a comedian, traveling the world, all kinds of offbeat things. |
| 1:37.6 | And this podcast is where I can show another side of myself, be myself, and you can enjoy being part of my weekly monologue. |
| 1:44.6 | It's like a friend leaving you a really long voicemail. Nothing is scripted. It's not joke per minute, but it is permitted. It's not joke per minute, but it's sometimes funny, sometimes serious, but always honest and real. |
| 1:59.6 | Now at the beginning of every episode, I've been doing this podcast for over seven years. This is when I would announce my tour dates. |
| 2:05.6 | I'm Camindia, Baton Rouge, Boston, and Baltimore, but I'm not going anywhere. There is a pandemic people. |
| 2:15.6 | So I am sitting tight. All tour dates are canceled. I'm sorry, New York City, Dallas, Buffalo, Spokane, Phoenix, Portland, Bloomington. |
| 2:28.6 | I'm sorry, all the places, Seattle, Portland. I don't know. There's a bunch of things canceled, or going to be canceled, or rescheduled. |
| 2:35.6 | Oh, go to my website, jenkirkman.com. If you click where it says Kirk Mail, you can get it on my newsletter. |
| 2:44.6 | And once tickets go on sale for next year, once it's absolutely sure that I'm coming, you'll get a notification. |
| 2:52.6 | But if you're listening to this right now, this free podcast, and you're wondering, how can I support gender in the pandemic? |
| 3:00.6 | I don't need much. I just like to get paid for the extras, and that's why I have my Patreon. I don't need you to send me a bottle of wine or try to buy me dinner. |
| 3:10.6 | Or even give me a tip. No, no, no, no. This is capitalism, people. I make some art. You buy some art. |
| 3:18.6 | If you don't want to, that's fine. You just have to sit through this out on the free podcast. So here's the deal. |
