| 0:00.0 | My name is Joshua Topolsky and I have a new podcast called What Future. |
| 0:04.5 | But I want to tell you that I'm being forced by my producer to record a promo telling you about my show. |
| 0:10.1 | And I'm not trying to force you to listen to it. |
| 0:12.6 | And maybe you're not interested in internet culture and the future of life on planet Earth. |

| 0:28.4 | But if you like what you're hearing and I know that you do, you can listen to all of what future on the I Heart Radio app, Apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. |

| 2:03.4 | Welcome to Stuff You Missed in History class, a production of I Heart Radio. |
| 2:10.4 | Hello and welcome to the podcast. I'm Holly Fry and I'm Tracy V Wilson and I have to confess up front that I might offend people by saying this a little bit. |
| 2:27.4 | The impetus for this episode is because I can get a little cranky and fussy about people who are still campaigning to get Pluto back as a planet. |
| 2:38.4 | Yeah. |
| 2:40.4 | Future doesn't have feelings. |
