Cold open question of week, Cass.

0:06.5

What's up, shoes?

0:07.7

I just want to formally welcome you and Ben and Brian and everybody else to the Ringer

0:12.3

Wrestling video YouTube page at Ringer Wrestling.

0:16.0

And Spotify.

0:16.8

And Spotify. You can check the video out all through our podcasts and you get to see these pretty

0:20.4

mugs whenever you want. Here's my question for you. What's up? If any wrestler from your

0:27.8

childhood could have had a dedicated YouTube channel. Who would you have wanted it to be?

have normal conversations.

1:46.2

It's like, nah, man.

1:47.6

Give me that crazy dude with the hair and the muscles from way back when screaming into a camera.
