| 0:11.1 | Now here are your hosts, Michael Bumpus and Stacey Ross. |
| 0:17.3 | It's been a fun show. |
| 0:20.2 | We're having too much fun and talking about something not fun. So it sounds like I'm not taking this seriously, but I very much am. How are the Mariners, what are the Mariners biggest issues right now? That's how we started the show. I don't want to like rehash too much of that conversation.
