0:00.0	I'm Tim here today with Lance. Lance, how are you today?
0:32.2	I'm doing fantastic today, Tim. The guests that we have on is really unique because we were searching for somebody
0:39.1	who is an expert in this particular figure in the true crime world and a historical figure.
0:44.7	We found this guy.
0:45.7	Not only was he perfect for our needs for our new show that's coming out soon, Agent Zero,

1:39.8	got caught up in for the first part of this. We went in just ready to talk Elliot Ness, and we
1:44.3	mentioned his books, and we brought up the broadcast hysteria book. I didn't realize, like,
1:49.0	how interested I was in that topic of Orson Wells and the release of War of the Worlds on radio
