| 0:00.0 | Welcome, everyone, to Yozus Racist for this week. |
| 0:03.8 | We got caught in a international vortex of time travel and layovers and travel plans and recording times not lining up. |
| 0:15.3 | Also, because our show comes out on Wednesday, but we have to record it a little earlier. |
| 0:25.7 | We don't know what happens in the election that just happens. |
| 0:27.2 | That just went down. |
| 0:32.4 | Hopefully, the numbers remain good. |
| 0:37.3 | That would be for Prop 50 and for Mamdani in New York. |
| 0:46.6 | I don't know if there's any other huge election stuff, unfortunately, because I only pay attention to the big stuff, I feel like. |
| 0:51.3 | So in the meantime, this is Andrew, by the way, this is theosis racist. |

So we are doing a show called Starter Trek on the Suboptimal bundle. I know this is, it's so gauche to do promo. Sooptimalpods.com where you can sign up and listen to Starter Check. We've been |
| 2:02.1 | putting out, I think, very funny clips of our episodes, really bolstered by Zach, who's been |
| 2:11.3 | making all these clips for social media, your Instagrams and your TikToks, et cetera. |
| 2:17.1 | But I don't know. I've been having |
