| 0:31.7 | Clemen and the geek. |
| 0:46.3 | And welcome back to part two of the Gleeman and the Geek, the much talked about, part two of Gleeman and the Geek. Gleeman in the Geek after dark, this is where we get really filthy with the discussions about free agency. |
| 0:50.8 | We can't get really filthy because I don't have time to edit this. |
| 0:53.3 | I forgot about it. I got to tell you, last week when I came home about 11.30 p.m. and had to sit down in the bedroom because that's where my computer is. Yeah, we got to get you. That's it. You told me that the other night. We might need to move that computer because. John was saying, you know, it's sort of annoying. The voice of reason was not pleased to go home around midnight and try to edit these |
| 1:13.9 | things because you sit down at the computer and your wife is saying, you idiot, get to bed. I'm assuming that she calls you idiot. I've met her. I assume she's causing that. Oh, yeah. Hopefully she calls you. Idiot is the kind version of what you know. My voice was, why do you have you |

| 2:18.8 | Or when's your birthday? May. Yeah, don't wait that long because he needs it. We may both be dead by May doing these podcasts. So if you missed part one, part one was a lot about Twins News, where we talked a little bit about, let's see, Nathan. We talked quite a bit about Nathan.
