| 0:00.0 | Jenny normally we'd be recording a pro-tip episode here but I have never gotten such incredible |
| 0:08.7 | feedback from people wanting more information as I did when I told people I'm going to try looping with Arden. |
| 0:15.0 | I'm sure. |
| 0:17.0 | Because you've got such a following that people are like, oh, let's do it Scott's way. |
| 0:21.0 | You know, Scott's way it really works and then they're like |
