| 0:13.2 | Welcome to another episode of the Boom Boom Performance Podcast. |
| 0:17.4 | Today's guest is James Swanwick of Swanwick's sleep. This is one of the OGs in the blue |
| 0:24.7 | light blocker space. He has created the Swanwick Sleeps or the Swanies, they call them. Their |
| 0:30.0 | glasses with the blue light blocking lenses, but they are one of the originals and they are one of |
| 0:34.7 | the guys that came out and created one of the best ones on the market today and they have a bunch of different varieties of like the orange lenges the clear |
| 0:41.9 | lenses so on and so forth and actually didn't know this until we jumped on the show and i don't |
