| 0:09.0 | And welcome to yet one more attempt at the Geek podcast. |
| 0:17.7 | It's a good thing that we've got big news because I'm not sure that our technical solutions so far would be holding up much longer. Yeah, we're running into, we're running bad, as they say in poker. For like two weeks now, all our apps that we record on are giving us trouble. But hopefully this sounds all right. And you know how you'll know if it sounded all right because you can hear me speaking right now otherwise it didn't go right that's right |
| 0:40.2 | we have a lot of twin stuff to discuss because they're actually playing games now which is nice |
| 0:46.7 | we spent you know three or four months doing our best to provide some level of entertainment |
| 0:52.5 | despite zero games being played. And then for the past |
| 0:55.5 | month, or more than that, five or six weeks, we've been trying to do our best with these |
| 1:00.5 | meaningless spring training games, as I keep telling John. Now we've got actual games to talk about, |

| 1:30.6 | We decided, because this is not the last gleaming and the geek, |
| 1:35.0 | but we are here to announce some podcast news, some changes. |
| 1:35.4 | That's right. |
| 1:38.0 | Which we think we'll be good and are excited about. |
| 1:41.8 | So before we dive into all the twin stuff, which we're going to do tons of, |
| 1:44.3 | let's just get that out of the way, talk about the podcast stuff, let everyone know what's going on. So basically, this is our, what is this, episode 36? |
| 1:51.8 | 36, I think it's 36. 36. So starting with episode 37, it will sort of be episode one, I guess. |
| 1:59.1 | We will be on KFAN, which for the out-of-towners, I guess, |
| 2:03.9 | we have some non-Minnesotaans who listen to this, I guess. |
| 2:06.1 | I'm actually always amazed. |
