| 0:00.0 | What's happening? Welcome to Wong Nodes podcast. I'm your host, Corey Wong. I'm chilling in |
| 0:08.5 | festy season right now. It is deep in festy season already this summer. It's summer to me at this |
| 0:16.1 | point because I don't know, the weather's turning and it's feeling good. Summer comes a little bit |
| 0:20.6 | late in Minnesota where I'm from, but I've been traveling a lot. |
| 0:23.8 | I was in Europe for a couple weeks, spent some extra time in Amsterdam for like five days |
| 0:28.9 | and other areas of the Netherlands because I love Netherlands. |

| 1:19.0 | That is one of the really fun things about festivals for me. |
| 1:21.3 | I'm stoked. |
| 1:22.1 | I got a bunch of festivals coming up. |
| 1:23.7 | It's Corey Wong, some fearless flyers stuff, Wolfpack. |
| 1:27.4 | It's going to be great. |
| 1:28.8 | I'm happy, happy to be out there playing live music. |
