| 0:00.0 | Hey everyone, hi, hello, welcome to another exciting episode of Allison Rosen is your new |
| 0:27.0 | best friend. I'm here in the newly expanded studio every time I say newly expanded, I need to clarify, |
| 0:35.5 | it's not that we added on we just knocked out a wall inside to make it more expensive and roomy |
| 0:41.3 | and to be honest less acoustically ideal, right Tony? Yes, but at least it's perfectly clean and not |
| 0:49.5 | messy at all. The mess helps with the sound. It's true. |
| 0:57.0 | Sound waves come out of my mouth. They swirl around your backpack. They trip over the cords. |
| 1:03.2 | They cling to the various microphones, light bulbs. Yeah, that's all it's the blankets. |
| 1:08.2 | Really, because of the lights really if that we're not even using today. Exactly. You know what, |
| 1:12.9 | this is a work in progress and before long you're going to walk in here and you're going to say, |
| 1:17.5 | am I in a spaceship? Actually, that's exactly what I don't want the studio to look like. I feel like |

| 1:37.8 | don't want that because that's I don't want it to be futuristic. Do you want to stick with cabin? |
| 1:42.4 | I want to stick with mess. Okay. So I think we're almost there. I don't know. I got to figure it out. |
| 1:48.3 | This is a problem with me is I don't know what I like till I see it, which makes it very hard for me to |
| 1:52.9 | like figure out visually what I want. Anyway, enough of that. I am delighted to welcome to the show. |
| 1:59.8 | He's a producer. He's a writer. He's a director. He is a former comic. He's into wrestling. We have |
| 2:06.3 | mutual friends. Please put your hands together for Mark Blutman. Wow. I know. You're clapping. That's |
| 2:12.7 | amazing. They're excited. You're here. I love the opening. Thank you. Thank you. I didn't write it. |
| 2:18.0 | Thank you. It's amazing. And as far as this place, it feels homey. I like that. Okay. I feel welcome. |
| 2:26.1 | I feel like I'm at your place. And you are. There you go. So yeah, no cabin, no spaceship. |
