| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Sports Spectrum, the Sports and Faith podcast that brings Jesus back into the conversation. |
| 0:17.5 | Here's your host, Jason Romano. |
| 0:20.1 | Welcome, everyone, to the Sports Spectrum podcast. |
| 0:22.7 | Throwback Thursday edition, I'm Jason Romano. |
| 0:25.2 | And each Thursday, we're going to bring you a clip from one of our favorite guests on the podcast. |
| 0:30.3 | I've enjoyed talking to so many wonderful people. |
| 0:33.3 | And all the interviews are uniquely different, but yet all are the same. |

| 1:43.6 | almost an hour and a half talking about his life, |

| 1:52.1 | it was J.B, but because we were able to do it in person. And not all of the guests that we |
