| 0:00.0 | You are not one of them. You are not a Jojo C bass. You mean JoJo Siwa? |
| 0:09.0 | I don't know what I mean, Janine. That's the point. |
| 0:12.0 | Hi, I'm Madison Malone Kircher. |
| 0:15.0 | And I'm Rachel Hamden and you're listening to I See Why Mine. |
| 0:18.0 | In case you missed it. Slate's podcast about internet culture. |
| 0:21.6 | And today, we are once again talking about an award show. |
| 0:26.6 | How did this happen? I did not sign up for this. |
| 0:30.6 | There is like a solid two-month period of the year where tis the life of a culture journalist |
| 0:35.6 | to discuss Sunday night award shows in the |
| 0:39.6 | early weekdays that follow. I have managed to avoid this thus far in my career, and I'm really |
| 0:45.6 | feeling the blessing that was the last few years. Well, naturally today we're talking about the prestigious and elite awards that are the Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards. |
| 1:02.6 | The most prestigious, the most elite, the most emaculate of slime available to man. |
| 1:10.2 | I mean, is it really an award worth winning if it's not in the form of a tiny orange blimp? No. No, it's not. Like, who the fuck cares about a little golden man?

Save the blimps, save the blimps. Save the blimps. So the reason we're talking |
| 1:45.9 | about blimps, and more importantly, the Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards, is a personal |
| 1:51.1 | favor of mine. Jojo Siwa has been egregiously wronged, in my opinion. Oh, without a doubt, |
| 1:57.8 | but please, as the Jojo Siwa stand of this podcast explain okay so jojo siwa |
| 2:05.1 | just icon of the nicolodian brand family was nominated this year for the best social |
| 2:10.4 | music star award what i don't know what that means but what i do know is she says that she was |
| 2:17.4 | not at the show because she was not invited to the Kids Choice Awards. |
| 2:21.4 | I'm sorry. |
| 2:22.0 | Didn't we just have this happen? |
