| 0:00.0 | Good morning, good afternoon or good evening, depending on where you are on the planet. Welcome to |
| 0:06.5 | Illadvised by Bill Nye. And the clue is in the title. This is a podcast for people who don't get out |
| 0:13.6 | much and when they do, they want to turn back time. It's a refuge for the clumsy and the awkward. |
| 0:20.1 | Really, this is an invitation to squander time. |
| 0:22.6 | I will try and answer certain questions without actually making things worse. |
