| 0:00.0 | Greetings and salutations, CripNation, Crip Nation, Bryce Paul and the coal-fired pizza mine himself here at your service today. |
| 0:20.0 | And that's not all. Today we have Rob Viglione, |
| 0:24.2 | CEO of Horizon, with us on the show today. This guy, Rob, man, he is unbelievable. He's a champion |
