| 0:23.6 | And now, here are your hosts. |
| 0:31.2 | Well, hello and welcome to the starting zone. |
| 0:33.6 | The podcast about World of Warcraft and people who play it. |
| 0:35.9 | Today is November 9th, 2025. |
| 0:37.0 | And my name is Spencer Downey. |
| 0:54.3 | Thank you so much for listening and subscribing to the podcast. I am joined today as always by my co-host, Jason Lucas. Jason, happy November. It's snowing outside here. Yes, it's been a few, a little while since we talked, because we recorded early last week, and they were on our normal schedule for this week. Temporarily. |
| 0:55.5 | And yeah, so now we are well into November and yeah, it's not snowing here. |
| 1:00.0 | So you enjoyed that up there. |
| 1:01.4 | Thanks. |

| 2:01.9 | And Blizzard has a track record of doing terribly at this. So, you know, when we get into that, it'll be, you know, a little bit later in the show after we get through what's going on this week and whatnot. When we get into that, it is something that I will have opinions on. So I know you well as well. So it'll be interesting to talk about it, that's for sure. |
| 2:08.2 | But this past week, World of Warcraft, I, we, I was obviously not, not in for it, |
| 2:14.2 | but I did witness it, our team killing Demensius on Mythic and getting like top 157 or 150-something U.S., which was great for them. |
