| 0:00.0 | Bullseye with Jesse Thorn is a production of MaximumFun.org and is distributed by NPR. |
| 0:12.8 | I'm Jesse Thorn, it's Bullseye. |
| 0:14.8 | Look, there's a lot going on in the world right now. You know, you made it tell you that. |
| 0:27.8 | NPR, listener. Maybe you're looking for a break, something silly, something weird, something |
| 0:34.0 | that can transport you somewhere else entirely. |
| 0:38.4 | Maybe to a place where iguanas carry the mail. One where ATMs sprout from the ground in |
| 0:44.4 | the city park and hedges are trimmed with shaving cream and razors. |

| 1:45.5 | Sandy Honeg, Asdebra, Mietra Johari, Asdebra, and Alissa Stoneha as Debra. The show is in |
| 1:54.7 | its second season now. It's just as weird and funny as ever. I really love this show. |
| 1:59.4 | I think you should watch it. To kick things off, let's hear a little bit from the very beginning |
| 2:04.0 | of Three Busy Debras pilot episode. The three Debras have sat down together for brunch. |
| 2:09.8 | Like I said, they brunch a lot. The first Debra you'll hear from is played by Sandy Honeg. |
