| 0:34.2 | Welcome to Gender Evil, a podcast where we hopefully get a little bit closer to understanding |
| 0:39.1 | what the hell gender is. I'm your host and resident gender detective, Tuckwood Stock. |
| 0:53.1 | Hey everyone, hope you're all hanging in there. This is going to show I am very excited to share |

| 2:00.4 | So get your tickets now at the bellhouseny.com. And now it's time for this week in gender. |
| 2:15.2 | Many weeks ago, I asked folks on Twitter if they had any suggestions for future this week in |
