0:00.0	Welcome everyone to another edition of the Body Slam Brief podcast presented by the Wrestling
0:09.8	Soup Network. I am Dose underscore evil or evil dose, Jeff Lipman, the resident attorney
0:17.5	of the Wrestling Soup Network. I hate to put more work out there for anybody
0:24.5	given this week. Today is April 9th, 2025, and we lost a member of the family this week
0:32.7	in Kevin Castle. Some people have asked me to do tribute shows. I've generally declined on that, not because
0:40.3	I don't want to pay tribute to Kevin Castle. I do. But because what can I possibly add that hasn't

1:53.8	even if there was no money exchange hands over, they were just looking for guidance or legal advice.
1:57.8	That's still protected under attorney client privilege. But I can say this,
2:02.8	you don't have to have money, you don't need to be wealthy, you don't have to have a complicated
2:07.5	life to leave behind a complicated situation. And there's ways to plan for that. And it's called
2:15.4	estate planning. And it's relatively easy to do in today's
