| 0:07.5 | Dear Shandy. |
| 0:11.8 | Welcome back to Dear Shandy listeners. |
| 0:13.9 | Hello, Andy. |
| 0:14.5 | Hello. |
| 0:15.1 | How are you today? |
| 0:16.0 | You are looking very yuddle-a. |
| 0:18.4 | Oh, did you? |
| 0:19.4 | It sounds like you had that prepared. I don't know. 30 seconds ago. |

| 1:28.1 | Yeah, Andy thinks it's a bad sign when you go to, say, a Thai restaurant and they have a page of Chinese dishes. |
| 1:35.3 | Japanese. |
