Hey everybody and welcome to a gripping wild ride with Steveo.

We've got Mr. Balin and I'm very excited about this episode for multiple reasons.

Number one, I consider him to be among the most talented storytellers on YouTube.

I enjoy his videos. And number two, the technology that

we brought to this episode is really next level, even for us. I mean, talk about high

production value on both ends of a remote situation. Plus, the stories that Mr. Ballin tells me

on this episode literally gripped me. And I'm sure they're going to grip you too. So without

further ado, let's get into it. Ladies and gentlemen, people of the universe, I bring to you the preeminent storyteller of the

internet, a Navy seal, and a real piece of ass. It's Mr. Paulin. Thank you, dude.

That's a heck of an intro, dude.

I was watching your podcast a ton before this, and I was wondering what you're going to say.

You nailed it, dude.

Thank you for having me on, man.

Well, you're pleasing to the eye.

It's a shame that I can't be looking at you genuinely in person, but we've just really

gotten all over the technology on this one.

So highly sophisticated production on both ends of the call.

And thank you for that, by the way.

Yeah, well, dude, I have no idea how this even works recording digitally.

I mean, pretty much if it's not Zoom, I have no concept of how to do this.

So the idea that it's working, that's good.

You know what?
