Good morning, good afternoon or good evening, depending on where you are on the planet.

Welcome to Illadvised by Bill Nye.

And the clue is in the title.

This is a podcast for people who panic when anyone calls their name.

It's a refuge for the clumsy and the awkward.

If you are socially adept and enjoy healthy relationships, there's nothing for you here.

And remember that the whole idea of this podcast is predicated on the idea that I don't know what

I'm talking about. In as much as, I've reached a certain age where you can be mistaken for somebody

who knows what to do and what's happening. But if you take a look around the world, you can see that that is plainly not the case,

because there are men of my age, largely men, people with penises,

are messing up the world as we speak.

My credentials are that as someone who got almost everything almost precisely wrong in early times,

I might be useful and act as some kind of deterrent.

I will attempt to answer your questions without actually making things worse.

Really, this is an invitation to squander time.

And if anybody ever listens to this and we get around, we get as far as merch, can you imagine?

And we had t-shirts made.

I think the first t-shirt would be squander-free.

Don't you feel?

I also, like, I saw somebody wearing a t-shirt the other day that said,

Respect My Hustle.

I thought it was so cool.
