| 0:00.0 | Good morning, good afternoon or good evening, depending on where you are on the planet. |
| 0:06.2 | This is Bill Nye welcoming you to ill-advised by Bill Nye. |
| 0:10.5 | And as you probably already know, the clue is in the title, particularly on the first word, which is ill. |
| 0:17.3 | This is a podcast for people who you probably sing along with me by now, hopefully if we have any listeners at all. |
| 0:23.0 | This podcast is for people who don't get out much and can't handle it when they do. |
| 0:27.1 | It's a refuge for the clumsy and the awkward. |
| 0:29.2 | If you're socially adept and enjoy healthy relationships, there's nothing for you here. |

| 1:36.7 | at the bottom of whatever screen. |
| 1:38.8 | I don't even know how that works, but I'm assured that there will be somewhere |
