0:00.0	What's happening, guys, welcome to the start today podcast. My name is Chris Cavellini. Today we have a very, very special episode
0:21.7	for you all. I'm here in the studio with my co-host, Rick Schaff. Rick, what's happening? Hey,
0:27.2	many. I'm ready to go. Big day. Yeah. Big day. We have a guest in the studio today, which is rare,
