| 0:00.0 | The following podcast is a dear media production. |
| 0:07.6 | Welcome to the Absolutely Not podcast, where we do the most and the least at this same |
| 0:12.8 | damn time. I'm your host, Heather McMahon. |
| 0:33.8 | Ladies and gentlemen, I am so thrilled to have my guest here today, but I want you to know right out the gate, if you saw her name in the title, you're probably thinking, wow, this bitch has run a Shempire. |
| 0:35.5 | She is an entrepreneur. |
| 0:39.4 | She's an inventor, a creator. But when I tell you today, we are not going to inspire you to do shit. We are here to gossip and giggle. I am so excited to have such a fierce |
| 0:47.0 | female and a fellow A.T. Alien, welcome to the podcast. Thank you. Sarah Blakely, how are you? I'm super |
| 0:52.5 | great. Thank you for being here. Of course. |
| 0:55.1 | I'm decked head to toe in Spanx. I have my sneaks on. You're, I'll tell you what, girl. |

| 1:33.8 | I did. So what are you doing now, girl? Well, you know, my feet hurt. Same. So robbing. |
| 1:40.2 | Throbbing. Like I have extreme foot pain. I love high heels. They suck. They've hurt women's feet for far |
| 1:46.8 | too long. Men have been making them for like 400 years. And there hasn't been much change to the |
| 1:53.0 | design. And I think that's always really interesting. Like so many things in societies iterating |

| 2:00.8 | 1500s and we're basically going to parties in 2024 in a similar type shoe. And they hurt. So I set out |
