0:00.0	Welcome, everyone, to another exciting episode of Body Slam Briefs,
0:09.3	where the intersection of law and wrestling do the collar and elbow in ring center.
0:18.8	So this one was sort of at the request of Mish.
0:22.7	So if you don't like it, blame him.
0:24.8	No, this is, we're going to talk a little bit about Odyssey Jones, Amari Palmer, I believe

1:45.3	So on Odyssey Jones, and I'm going to call him Odyssey Jones, just because it's easier.
1:49.3	He sued, and he said he was going to, and he probably did file a suit.
