| 0:04.3 | Welcome to Wong Notes podcast. |
| 0:06.1 | I'm your host, Corey Wong. |
| 0:08.1 | Today's guest is Nathan East, and I am super excited about that. |
| 0:12.0 | We're going to get to that in a minute. |
| 0:13.5 | But I also just wanted to let you know, hey, I got a new album out this week. |
