0:45.8	Yeah.
0:53.9	All right, here we go. Welcome in everyone to this week's edition of the Deer Hunter podcast Friday, June 24th, and you are in the studio for what I deem to be an outstanding episode that I had the opportunity to record here last night with my good friend
1:13.7	Dakota Kime of Day 6 Gear. He is the man responsible for putting all the orders together and
