| 0:04.2 | Welcome to Wong Nodes podcast. |
| 0:05.8 | I'm your host, Corey Wong. |
| 0:07.3 | I'm feeling good today. |
| 0:08.8 | I got some video stuff recorded. |
| 0:11.0 | I did some remote tracking for somebody. |
| 0:13.3 | Good guitar day. |
| 0:14.6 | Good guitar day. |
| 0:15.2 | Don't you love those days where it's like it feels like your hands are just working? |
| 0:19.0 | I felt like today there's just coordination was on. |
