| 0:00.0 | Hi everyone. We wanted to tell you about a new show we are loving, the Culture Study podcast with Anne Helen Peterson. It's a show about exploring the nooks and crannies of the culture that surrounds you. Each week, Anne and a super smart co-host answer listeners questions about the stuff they find interesting and perplexing like, why do clothes suck now? Is Paw Patrol copaganda, or is it not that deep? |
| 0:22.8 | And what's the deal with everyone I know getting a divorce? |
| 0:25.6 | Like Anne's tremendously popular newsletter, the Culture Study podcast is funny, insightful, and kind of weird. |

| 1:28.7 | Megan's a little bit scary, and she yells at adults. And I am quivering. Got him. Boom roasted. Zombie cannibal vampire monster. Yet a bunch of chuckleheads. I hope you don't have plans to spend time with literally anyone else. Text me back. Text me back. Text me back. Text me back at once. Why won't you text me back? Text me back. Text me back. Text me back. Text me back. At once. Why won't you text me back? Text me back. Text me back, Megan. Welcome to Text me back, a podcast about all the ladies, independent, throwing their hands up at me. |
| 1:47.8 | I'm Megan Hatcher-Maze. |
| 1:50.1 | And I'm Lindy West. |

| 2:03.8 | Drag Race fame and being from Seattle Frame and other fames. |
| 2:08.6 | So many fames, truly. |
| 2:10.9 | And she's going to teach us how to be gay icons while rolling in that social security money. |
| 2:16.1 | Actually, the reason I want to become a gay icon is because I don't think I'll have any social |
| 2:19.6 | security money. |
| 2:20.7 | And I just want all of my neighbors to find me iconic and donate to my GoFundMe. |
