| 0:00.0 | What? Welcome to Gender Reveal, a podcast where we ask intrusive personal questions and hopefully |
| 0:19.9 | get a little bit closer to understanding what the hell gender is. I'm your host and resident |
| 0:24.9 | gender detective Molly Woodstock. |
| 0:27.0 | Hey dudes, doodets, and gender-neutral doodexes. |
| 0:37.0 | Hope you've been hanging in there. |

| 1:37.2 | We have five more episodes for y'all including this one, and I am already booking interviews |
