Two men face the camera with half their faces in deep shadow against a black background. Large, bold white text fills the center space between them to announce the show name and guest. The overall look is gritty, professional, and masculine.

The intro — as said out loud
I can't believe how many mutual friends we have. So, last week I started getting texts from all my buddies saying, 'Oh, I heard you have a Mel on the show. Oh, you got to ask him about all the stuff he's doing.' But Blake Cook, Cody Alfred, Ray Cash, Tulam. You baptized Cody, right? ... He said, 'I'm ready.' And I said, 'You are.' He said, 'Where do you want to do it?' I go, 'You know, they're catching some bull sharks out there and there's a lot of stuff out there, right?' And he goes, 'We'll be good.'
