| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the perfume room. |
| 0:12.6 | Today's episode is brought to you from inside my closet. |
| 0:15.5 | Now, is my closet a walk-in closet? |
| 0:17.6 | In fact, it is not. |
| 0:18.6 | Can I breathe? |
| 0:19.4 | In fact, I cannot. |
| 0:22.5 | But as you'll hear in this episode and as you might have been able to hear in previous episodes, I've been having some sound |
