How was your commute?

I've been driving this a lot lately in all elements.

You know, have love, will travel, as I say.

Yeah, the days of you come here to my house and me taxing you places are over.

Yeah, well. That wasn't even mentioned as an option this time around. I assumed you don't want to be driving me places at like 1 a.m. around town. But if you do, I'll gladly take that. Yeah, I'm sure. That's an open invitation to all you people out there. Yeah. Maybe not all of you, but some of you. Sir, I will pay a going rate. $10 and some good conversation on the way. On the way back, I can't promise you much, but whatever. Well, it'd be like your own personal Uber. Yeah. Believe me, I would take that. Another thing I can't do on Blackberry's Uber. Yeah, so we are at Masons, which is, what, 520-something Hennepin?

528 Hennepin, is that right? Yes, that's right. Just one block away from Metro Dome Plaza. And that's a key point to remember later. Yes, we're here for a reason, which we'll talk about later. But this was a stop on the light rail pub crawl, whatever a couple months ago. Yeah, that's right. Seems like years ago, weather was. This is where you got your free beers on the late row.

So we are back. We like it here. For some people, it's the final stop. For me, it was the final stop in life. Yeah, and John is having a coffee. I'm having a screwdriver, of course.

I didn't, you know, I realized, like, the last eight of these episodes, we're going to get into baseball talk real quick, but the last, like, eight of these episodes, especially the brunch ones, because we've had, like, two or three brunch ones, I've shown up and I've been like, yeah, John, I'm dying. It's not last night. Tough night. No, it didn't go out last night at all. You're giving your voice a little too much credit.

I'd said this to. Yeah, John. I'm tired. Last night. Tough night.

No, it didn't go out last night at all. You're giving your voice a little too much credit. I said this to... Yeah. Whatever. I show up and John goes, yeah, how you feel? And I'm like, I didn't go out last night at all. He goes, oh, what? Are you okay? Yeah. Meanwhile, six months ago. Last time we talked you ran a streak of ten in a row.

I did.

Okay, so I counted.

Because as my... Meanwhile, six months ago... Last time we talked, you were on a streak of ten in a row.

I did...

Okay, so I counted. Because as social as you can get, you're still a nerd. So I did count. I went back in college. Right. Because I got my visa bill. Well, that'll help count. Yeah. Okay. There were, for November. Right. There were 22 charges on my visa bill, and 16 were bars out of 22.
