| 0:04.4 | As always, my name is Patrick, and I am your host. |
| 0:07.8 | And before we get to today's episode, I'd like to address something that is sad and tragic. |
| 0:15.7 | And it hit very close to home. |
| 0:18.4 | Many of y'all will be aware that on May 11th, Mariah Wilson, |
| 0:24.6 | also known as Mo, was murdered in her home. And another member of the cycling community, |
| 0:33.6 | Caitlin Armstrong, has been charged with her murder and is currently suspected to be on the run. |
