| 0:24.0 | Well, hello and welcome to the starting zone, the podcast about World of Warcraft, |
| 0:32.0 | people who play it. |
| 0:32.8 | Today is May 31st, 2023 and my name is Spencer Downing. |
| 0:35.6 | Thank you so much for listening and subscribing to the podcast. |
| 0:37.8 | I'm joined today as always by my co-host Jason Lucas. |
| 0:40.6 | Jason, how are you doing this fine Wednesday? |
| 0:43.4 | Oh, Spencer, hello, I'm doing well and a fine Wednesday to you and somehow is the final day of May |
| 0:49.9 | 2023? |
| 0:50.9 | It is, yes, we have torn through May. I don't know what's happening anymore, but here we are. Yeah, it's, you know, we're into into the real meat of the season two now and I think we're really started seeing the shape of it and it feels really good man. |
