00:00Joe?
00:01Yeah?
00:02Have you ever thought, what if this was another episode?
00:08Only in my dreams, Aparna.
00:17Hello.
00:18Yeah, we're still here.
00:20It's Womanhood, Season 2.
00:23Better stick around.
00:24Season 2.
00:25Coming to end you.
00:26What happened there at the end?
00:28I don't know, I think my brain stopped.
00:30But it started up again, just like womanhood.
00:33Season 2.
00:34We're back.
00:36Today we're here to talk about things women do.
00:46Since the beginning of time, women have been asked to do things.
00:52For example, women have been asked to darn socks.
00:56Because women have been asked to go to dance class.
01:00So we decided to leave the studio.
01:03But not without a fight.
01:14Please don't.
01:16Cardinal, please.
01:18Why would you use them, please?
01:19Can you hurry on, please?
01:21I messes up.
01:21If you did not fill up yourself, please.
01:27Caw, baby.
01:34Okay.
01:45I'll see you people.
01:47I дСрТ品 all this.
01:48You guys come back, we'll try that again.
01:50Are you talking to Aparna?
01:51I'm talking to Aparna.
01:54And this one's pretty, just one flat.
02:01Okay, that's not right.
02:04Jump to go down and jump to go down.
02:07Okay, jump in and try.
02:08All right.
02:13It just seems like everybody's kind of showing off.
02:22Okay, lunch.
02:24It's just like, I feel like this is an impossible environment.
02:28I feel like it's toxic.
02:29Well, I think we got to pick it up or we're not going to get trophies.
02:34I didn't even know we got trophies.
02:35There's like 70 of them here.
02:37There you go, there you go.
02:46So beautiful.
02:48There you go.
02:49There you go.
02:54There you go.
03:03There you go.
03:05There you go.
03:08There you go.
03:15There you go.
03:28Hey. Hey. What's happening?
03:31Do you think there will be, like, a female remake of Wayne's World?
03:34What? Would you watch it?
03:36Elaine's World.
03:37Elaine is Wayne.
03:39Yeah.
03:48Everybody, let's see your silliest face.
03:51Let's do one more really silly, super silly, and one that's like,
03:55I'm about to go get ice cream. I'm so excited.
03:59Well, we went, we saw, we danced.
04:05I feel like both of us learned to express ourselves with our bodies,
04:08even though it started out pretty rough.
04:11Some of us took naturally to it, but others put a lot of effort into it,
04:16and it didn't matter how good they were.
04:18It just mattered that they tried.
04:20I feel exactly the same, and I feel like there were a lot of people in that room
04:26who left with a lot of new friends.
04:29Including us.
04:37I got a lot out of that. Did you?
04:39Yeah, we danced our little hearts out.
04:43Elaine's World.
04:44Party time.
04:45Excellent.
04:46You're really good.
04:48Shwing!
04:48Bye he fluxo.
04:49Bye.
04:49Bye.
04:49Bye bye.
