This is the Mike McDonald's show presented by your local 76 and Conoco

stations exclusively on the home of the Seahawks, Seattle Sports.

Well, here he is. Coach McDonald. Good morning, sir.

Good morning. Still no intro. No. No, you said you don't like the sound effects.

You don't like the sound effects. So we got to...

I think we've got to go to the transcript on that.
