0:00.0	What's up, everybody? It's Holman, and I would like to welcome you back to the Podshed for another
0:04.5	episode of the Truck Show podcast. What's again, I'm squeezing this episode in between some
0:10.4	travel. I've been all over the place. Just got back from a Nissan Pro 4x drive in Scottsdale,
0:16.4	Arizona, where I hung out with none other than Emmy Hall for a day of wheeling, the Nissan Frontier Pro 4X
0:22.5	and Armada Pro 4X.
0:24.1	More to come on the Nissan's in a future episode, and as you might imagine, we may have gotten

1:00.6	and do a deep dive into Optum batteries and give you some insight to the brand
1:04.0	and the Optima products that you know and love and the battery I personally run.
1:08.3	But before we get started, got to think the companies that make the Truck Show podcast possible. The Truck Show podcast is presented by Nissan, and if you're in the
1:15.6	market for a brand new SUV or mid-sized truck, head on down to your local Nissan dealership.
1:20.9	Although I didn't go to the local Nissan dealership. I went out to Scottsdale, Arizona,
1:24.4	and got to spend a lot of time off-roading the Pro 4X models of both the
1:28.5	Redesigned 25 Frontier and the all-new 25 Nissan Armada. And both were awesome. Of course,
