| 0:21.5 | David, how's it going? I'm good. My dogs are barking in the background. Hope you don't hear that. They don't like when my phone rings. No worries at all. We can't hear much of anything, so you're all good. But even if we could, I'm sure they're adorable. I'm going to start with |
| 0:38.0 | We have a lot to get to with the Mariners |
| 0:40.0 | But instead with the WBC |
| 0:41.3 | I'm sure they're adorable.
