podcast of the World of Warcraft,

2023 and my name is Spencer Downey thank you so much for listening and

Jason Lucas Jason how are you doing this fine Wednesday?

Spencer, hello, happy final week of 10.1.5 to you.

We are on the precipice of patch and the final patch of the season and it seems like there's
