| 0:57.3 | Mr. Hosey, I'm Brian, and many Machado. Welcome to Fantasy Baseball today on a Monday, August 24th. |
| 1:03.0 | Frank's Danville here alongside Scott White and Chris Towers. We're nearly halfway through a |
| 1:07.4 | 60 game season. So that means I can take victory laps on a brand new Machado, right? That's how this |

| 2:11.8 | But let's get that started. Oh, my goodness gracious. This edition will be |
| 2:16.5 | the waiver ad of the week and take it away. Susan. Oh, my goodness gracious. |
