Interview with Dame Shayna:

Mario: Where were you at 9:00 this morning:
Shayna: 9:00? Let me think for a moment--oh yes, of course! I woke around 8 & went down to the kitchen a little later for a kale/carrot/nip smoothie & took it back upstairs. Then I did my usual 1-hour workout on the treadmill till a little after 9. Winston saw me in the kitchen--he gave me the smoothie.
