| 0:00.0 | Here we go. Good morning, buddy. |
| 0:17.8 | Happy, happy Thursday. |
| 0:19.5 | It's October. |
| 0:23.2 | October 1st, 2020. Welcome aboard the Crushing Iron Podcast, episode 400 and 14. We bring you our first podcast in Q4 of 2020, |
| 0:32.1 | which has been an outstanding year in general. We appreciate you tuning in. It has been fantastic. |
| 0:38.6 | Yeah, we appreciate you tuning in. As we said before, this is the crushing iron podcast. We come to you twice a week, |
| 0:43.0 | for the most part, Mondays and Thursdays, but even if we don't, we always come to you twice |
| 0:47.0 | that we can have for the last four years. I believe October is our official four year, four |
| 0:53.0 | anniversary. Is it really? |
