| 0:00.0 | Hey guys, quick update from the podcast, our next audio documentary series is going live Monday, |
| 0:06.4 | August 30th. It's called Slang Sativ. It's a story about the biggest upset in wrestling history. |
| 0:14.2 | We put a ton of time into these audio documentaries. Our last one was The Smith. Slang Sativ is |
| 0:20.4 | coming August 30th. It would mean the world to us if you checked out all four episodes on Monday, |
| 0:26.7 | August 30th, right here on this platform. I really don't have a lot of pressure on myself. I mean, |
| 0:32.8 | we have a shirt. It's pressure is a privilege. I mean, you know, I like having pressure on myself. |
