And welcome to the Gleam of the Geek podcast

Saturday afternoon edition With Aaron Gleam With Aaron Glemen of the Geek podcast, Saturday afternoon edition. I'm with Aaron Glemen, overgloombe.com. Hi, you're John Bonus. Twins Daily, is that still the website now? Sherry, Toes Daily. Mikey's three wild. Twins Daily hates me, by the way, because Seth... Really? That's not a surprise. I mean, people on my own... Why can we be any difference? Right, people on my own website hate me. People I know and realize... Why do we hate you? Well, Seth, like, in the forum, Seth had been posting each updated link to my top prospect carlestone. And for a while, they were, like, discussing it. And they're like, oh, well, you know, he's got this guy 30th, and a lot of people have this guy.

And if ever there was going to be a place where people would be discussing that, Twins Daily, like, there's a lot of guys out there who know a lot about the 30th. And then, like, after about, I don't know, six or eight of those posts, it just became like, oh, I don't like Gleman at all. But, you know, I'll read it.

And then it was like, well, it doesn't even seem so negative in all these write-ups.

And then somebody would be like, well, you know, I'll read it. And then it was like, well, Gleman seems so negative in all these write-ups. And then somebody would be like, well, you know, most of these prospects will be bust. Like, when you're writing about prospects and they're 19, you got to kind of write about, which is the approach. I wanted to give that guy a kiss. But then he probably wouldn't like me either if I did that. And then by the end, was just... That's been of your experience at least. Yeah. Very low percentage. Yeah. And then by the end it was just like, well, gleaming basically sucks. But I don't know. Some of these weren't that bad. So then I guess I was registered, but I, you know, recover my password. I log in.. That's Wednesdayly.com. Did you really? You posted something? It told me I've posted twice before. Okay. I suspect they were a similar post. So all I said was, uh, cool comments, guys. I just, I don't know. That's funny. I did think it was funny. But yeah, so, uh, we're, know. That's funny. But, yeah, so, John...

That's an interesting, it's interesting that...

I thought maybe they were going to have, like, a specific reaction to, like, you know,

Barrios not being number seven or something like that, or, you know, or...

Right.

Well, there was......or know right well there was there was some

of that but as usual my um horrible personality and bad demeanor overwhelms any other potential

discussion topics but one of the things that we find about just daily is in general is one

of the things that was frustrated at us like within the first year of opening a site like that, is that you definitely get a sense of, there is a segment of the fan base that no matter what the twins do, they like what the twins did, right?

And there's a segment of the fan base that no matter what the twins do, they don't like what they did, right?

It's just sort of the happy sunny view or the overly passionate or negative of you.

And when you bring them both together in on the same website or the same discussion form, you're just, you're opening yourself up to the possibility of a lot of bickering and back, you know, and sort of things. So you can see where, so, I mean, it was one of the things that we had to work around really hard when we first got the forums open is to try and make sure that if you're going to have a debate about whether or not this was a good move or a bad move, it's got to be respectful. It's got to be, you know, somewhat civil. You know what I mean? And one of the things that happened, what occurred to me at that time is, what if you started, like, a dual website? You said, you know, one of the websites was Minnesota Twins rocks and Minnesota Twins sucks or something like that.
