Ladies and gentlemen, Chris Van Bleed.

How are you, my friends?

0:10.9

Welcome back to another one on Insight.

0:13.4

I'm CBV, Chris Van Fleet.

0:15.1

So good to see you here.

0:16.6

And somebody asked me the other day that, like, why do you say your name at the start of every episode? Like, we know it's you. We know it's Chris Van Vlee. And honestly, it's so that people

0:27.3

know how to pronounce it. It gets mispronounced all the time, which I get if you're just

0:32.3

reading it, it looks like Van Vlaier or Van Vlaiette. People are like, oh, you're Canadian. It's French, right? Van Vlié.

0:40.9

It's Dutch. I think everything with Dutch is a van. So I just say it so people know that's how you're

1:23.3

interview that Tomaso's ever done and definitely the most in-depth interview that he's ever done.

1:29.1

What a career he's had. So many ups. We cover all of those, a few downs as well.

1:35.8

And we talk about those, like some of the very poorly timed injuries that he's had.

1:40.9

But what a run. And I feel like the work he's doing now, especially now that Johnny's

1:46.5

back. And there's another person, Johnny Gargano Gargano. It's so funny how it's like people can't

1:53.5

figure out which way it's supposed to be said. But the DIY stuff, so good. And we recorded this
