| 0:30.2 | Great way to start a podcast of course. I am your host tempest and you're sitting in my chair Luke Owen |
| 0:36.9 | I'm sitting in my chair. There is a hierarchy of chairs. We've decided I have to sit in this chair |
| 0:42.6 | I if I don't sit in this chair the room doesn't look the same |
| 0:45.5 | Yes, but now I have to my vision is slightly as skew as I'm leading this Smackdown podcast here on the WrestleTalk podcast channel |
| 0:53.2 | Make sure that you give this video a thumbs up subscribe if you haven't already and we are going to get through this |
