| 0:00.0 | With dating I find it quite fun to throw it out like within the first couple of minutes of just |
| 0:06.0 | oh hey I was section on the mental health act and yeah I was I had psychotic hallucinations and I saw God and I time travelled and so where are you from? |
| 0:14.0 | You are listening to Made of Human also known as the Mopard, a podcast hosted by Sophie |
| 0:21.2 | Fagan who is a Danish comedian. |
| 0:25.0 | Trying to find out how to do life, |
| 0:30.0 | but it turns out, nobody knows Mopah. |
| 0:37.0 | Hello, I hope that you're all doing very well. Thank you for sticking with me. I think that's going to be the theme of this whole intro and possibly also outro for this episode, I think. |
| 1:00.0 | I'll talk about all of that later. There's a lot to say basically, but I want to say some very |
