0:01.3	Ladies and gentlemen, Chris Van Blit!
0:07.9	All right, my friends, welcome back to another audio adventure on Insight.
0:12.6	I'm Chris Van Bleet.
0:13.5	Thank you so much, my friends, for being with us on this episode and on every single episode.
0:19.7	My guest today is a name that you know,
