0:00.0	All right, everybody, welcome back to another edition, another high caliber episode here at the Crypto 101 podcast.
0:19.0	Wherever you guys are in the world, guys, whatever time it is, you're in the right place
0:24.7	because we are joined today not only by my trusty compadre, my notorious co-host, Mr. Pizza
