| 0:04.3 | Depending on where you are on the planet, this is Bill Nye at Illadvised by Bill Nye, |
| 0:11.0 | and I'm here to answer your questions, or at least pretend to, without actually making things worse. |
| 0:17.9 | It's a refuge here for the clumsy and the awkward. And if you're socially |
| 0:21.3 | adept and enjoy healthy relationships, there's nothing for you here. This is a podcast for people |
| 0:27.1 | who shave on tiptoe to avoid looking in their eyes. I actually have a mirror at home, which |
| 0:35.9 | it never occurred to me. I placed it on the wall where I thought |
| 0:41.4 | it would look good. But when people come around, you'd have to be, you'd have to be six foot |

| 1:34.7 | I'm getting in touch because I'm currently struggling to ask a girl out or tell if a girl likes me who works in the same office as me. |
| 1:42.9 | We have a similar group of friends, |
| 1:44.8 | but I'm a bit of a skeddy cat about approaching people in the office so we don't get to hang out |
| 1:50.1 | a lot. I don't know if you have many cases of office romance or anything like that, but I don't |
| 1:54.8 | have much luck in any walk of life. So how do you manage to ask a girl out? Any advice would be |
| 1:59.9 | possibly useful. Thank you so much |
