Also, this week we're also being sponsored by Seatheek. You're going to be able to get $20 up to your first ticket purchase from Seatheek from the Seatheek app to use the promo code Gleeman. And we're coming at you from 612 Brew. We're going to be having the Tuesday taproom tour. I'm John Bonus at Twinsdaily.com, and we've got with us. Hi, my name's Aaron.

0:55.4

Hi, I'm Aaron.

0:56.3

I'm a Bonus at Twinsdaily.com, and we've got with us. Hi, my name's Aaron. Hi, I'm Aaron. I'm a Twinsaholic. You look like that hostage right now. No. Well, yeah, so we have an event here at 612, which I would say, Scott, we've got to have done our most podcasts. I think that's right. Yep. And I'm drinking a Marianne. Yes. Right now. Which is the name of a beer. Yes. It's not just some weird sexual thing. Although it could, well, maybe. It's too early. It's a Sunday early afternoon. And it's, it's an odd, we came here because, like John said, we have the second Tuesday taproom tour.

1:28.0

It's Sunday afternoon right now.

1:29.5

So, you know, 48 hours from now or whatever.

1:31.3

It's our second event.

1:32.5

So we wanted to, you know, test out the setup and everything.

1:35.6

But it's also weird to be recording, we're not in K-fan today.

1:40.3

Right.

1:40.6

It's weird to be recording immediately before back-to-back games happened. Right, right. So, like, we're going to talk about the twins. They've got a double-heder today before we're recording this, unfortunately, which means that this week could end up two and four, four and two, or three and three. Right. We don't know. But the time you listen to this. things we're the things we're saying could be sound even dumber than usual if they, like, lose 10 to 2 and 13 to 4 in the two games. But, yes. Well, I think, though, all opinions as of Saturday evening. Yeah. But, I mean, so more often than not, when we're talking about the twins, certainly in the absolutely, but even during the season, we're talking about overall things, not so much. No, you're right. Not so much, you know, individual. Which I would love it. If you want some individual game talk, come to the Tuesday taproom, too. Yes, we will literally be watching a game and talking to people, which they're pointing the Red Sox Tuesday at Fenway. But you can't come because it's already sold out. I don't know what you're trying to push there. That's just John Salesman. Yes. If you'd like to hear Game Talk, save the date for next year. We can also download the podcast on Tuesday morning or Wednesday morning. Let's see if it comes out audio-wise.

3:10.5

We never know. But, no, you're right, that, like, we don't, you know, if they lose both today, which is starting very shortly, the first one, it's not like it would drastically change our outlook, but I just mean, you know, if a player goes 0 for 10 in the two games, and it's also,, you know, a double header when you're only talking about, they've played,

3:22.6

what, 38 games or something like that? So it's, you know, a decent chunk of this. It's just weird. It's like by the time people listen to this, both games have been played. Right. And so it's like, yeah, I don't know. If somebody gets hurt or something, it could change. Yeah.

3:23.1

So let's try to hedge our bets just by saying uh everything could be good or bad
