0:00.0	There are No Girls on the Internet as a production of IHeart Radio and Unbossed Creative.
0:12.2	I'm Bridget Todd, and this is There Are No Girls on the Internet.
0:17.5	Okay, producer Mike, you ever listen to podcasts, and on the first couple of minutes, they just
0:23.3	start with some like light banter. They're asking how they're doing. They're checking in on their
0:28.4	week. What are you watching on TV? Yada, yada, yada. Have you experienced this? I have experienced this.
0:34.2	I feel it's like the norm among podcasts. And maybe we should give it a shot.
0:39.9	Yes. So for folks who have been listening to their no girls on the internet since the very
0:44.4	beginning, all the way back in 2020, y'all probably know that I don't do a ton of banter. I just
0:49.2	get right into the episode because I really respect the time of the listener. You know, you're giving me your 45 minutes,

1:38.4	Yeah, it's going well. If folks don't know what six feet under is, it's an HBO show that took place that started in like 2001
1:45.7	about a family that owns and runs a funeral home. It's very good. I'm doing a rewatch. Also,
1:52.0	by the way, I literally, this is how pathetic things are, I googled when we were like brainstorming
1:59.6	podcast banter.
2:01.5	So I was like, what kind of, what do you people talk about?
