| 0:00.0 | What is up, everybody? Mark on the mic here. My good friend, Mr. Ryan Muckenherne across |
| 0:07.6 | me. Today, we're going to talk about the last cartridge designed by Mr. Roy Weatherby |
| 0:14.7 | himself, the 240 Weatherby. Ryan, this is one that when we first kind of start talking |
| 0:21.9 | about. I think it was a listener request. I think somebody brought it up. Somehow it |
| 0:26.2 | ended up on our list to talk about. Maybe it was you. I don't know. We're always |
| 0:31.0 | talking cartridges these days. It seems to be bad. One, you don't really hear about that |
| 0:36.6 | often. No. What's going on here? It's one I've always wanted. Always wanted. No good |
| 0:41.8 | reason. I was going to say, has it evaded you? No, you're just kind of like, can't justify |

| 1:31.4 | You were just a babe. Just a pop. But it's a super cool cartridge. It's something very |
| 1:38.4 | fascinating about it. And you know, you're wearing a really appropriate shirt today. We |
| 1:43.6 | got your speed go from the Gohan speed code edition shirt. And boy, you want to talk about |
| 1:49.0 | a phenomenal pronghorn cartridge. It would be hard to beat. This thing, I guess it's got |
| 1:55.4 | all the Roy, whether be attributes or at least most of them. Yeah. She's fast. Today not |
| 2:03.1 | as fast as you might think, but at the time, nothing like it. At the time for sure, the |
