| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Deep Dive Show. |
| 0:04.0 | I am your host, Brad Asraf, and I'm the ghost of Savon Podcast Past. |
| 0:09.0 | I will flash before you things once said, ideas espoused on this show, and we're going to take a closer look with the person who said them, ideally. |
| 0:19.0 | Ladies and gentlemen, I remember two days in my life |
| 0:23.3 | is possibly the best days of my life. One of them was the day I married my beloved wife, |
| 0:28.6 | and the other was the summer of 2022. I dropped into CrossFit crash in South Carolina, |
| 0:34.6 | and I was finishing my workout, and I paid probably via Venmo. |
| 0:40.3 | J.R. Howell, who's on the screen right now, and he said, I get a shirt for that payment |
| 0:45.3 | for dropping in. And as he's asking me what shirt size, I say large, and he goes, I think |

| 1:45.6 | I think that that maybe just came with the confidence and the kind of, no, no, no, we want that brand to be kind of in your face a little bit more and bigger and strong and bold. |
| 1:57.8 | But like that, that's an that's an OG when I, when I came on pre-show and saw |
| 2:03.3 | it, a small tier, random. Beautiful. This shirt, too, I, there have been a couple times I've, |
| 2:10.3 | I've almost worn it. I don't know if you get this a lot on travel days, like on airplanes. |
| 2:15.4 | And I decide otherwise. Like, I flash forward in my head I'm like |
