| 0:00.0 | Hey, I want to tell you up top that this episode is about one-night stands. |
| 0:05.2 | So it's a little sexier than usual, the kind of thing you want to listen to when there's only adults around. |
| 0:11.1 | But before we get to your one-night stand stories, I want to ask for your help for another episode that we're working on. |
