| 0:00.0 | What is up, everybody? Mark on the mic here. Jimt, my right. Mr. Ryan Muckenherne across |
| 0:07.5 | from me right now. A few times a year, I'm contractually obligated to Ryan to do one of |
| 0:14.2 | his lead balloon cartridge talks. So we did one a while back, Ryan, which one did we do a |
| 0:21.7 | while back? |
| 0:22.7 | The 325 WSM. Today, we have, well, not, not before us, we have, we're going to be talking |
| 0:30.0 | about the 338 Federal. Oh, a lead balloon. Most certainly, I guess spoiler alert, lead balloon |
| 0:37.9 | on little vortex block here. Jim, that's adorned the podcast table since we started. |
