| 0:00.0 | This is the Dibom Squadcast presented by Dibomb Industries. |
| 0:11.6 | What's up guys? Asher Tolliver back with another episode of the Dibomb Squadcast. I hope you all are doing well and had an opportunity by now to dust off the shotgun and hopefully |
| 0:21.5 | send a few rounds through it. This past month, it's been a fun ride, a lot of travel, and it only |
| 0:28.3 | intensifies as we head toward October, so make sure you're following along on social media. |
| 0:33.2 | Today, I am joined by the full-time traveling members of Die Bomb Industries, |
