0:05.0	Yeah.
0:06.0	And Bleed.
0:07.0	Ah, yes, welcome back to another one here on Inside.
0:24.3	I'm CVV.
0:25.7	Chris Van Fleet, thank you for being with us on this one.
0:29.9	And thank you for making Insight the number one wrestling podcast on the planet.
0:35.8	Hit a sidewalk slam on that follow button on the podcast app that you're
