| 0:00.0 | Hey there, welcome to this edition of the Shaline Show, which I am recording from my New York |
| 0:05.2 | City apartment. |
| 0:06.2 | So, if it sounds a little echoey or if you hear like cars going by sirens, etc. |
| 0:12.0 | It's like New York is a pretty loud city, but I freaking love it. |
