And welcome to

Kleeman and the Geek podcast, the emergency app.

Yeah, kind of the emergency app edition. A lot of activity this week. I'm John Bonus of Twins Daily with me, Aaron Gleeman, of The Athletic. Hey, you did it, John. We were, we had second hesitation, but. That's okay. Better to hesitate. After three years, I don't feel too bad about taking a month to adjust. What are they, yeah they? Yeah. Yeah, I've changed jobs twice in 15 years of you knowing me.

I'm a real job hopper. Right. What do they say, measure twice cut once or measure whatever? Take a moment to hesitate so you get it right. That's what I say. I'm big into carpentry, so I know. Yeah, yeah. We were planning

It is, what is today?

Friday at 8 a.m.

Right.

Um, so I know. Yeah, yeah. We were planning, well, it is, what is today? Friday at 8 a.m.

Right. We were planning to, in two days from now, put out an interview we did with a Twinsig-Zexec, a first-time guest of the show that was a great interview. We went target field sat in their office talked to him for

almost two hours great interview we were we were thinking people are going to eat this up let's put it

out hour and a half long interview yes and we stuck around for talk for an hour before we shot

the ass after that but we were we were saying let's you know what and we'll make it the free weekly

show because we were really happy with how it turned out it was it was. There was from funny stories, all that stuff. And then the twins went out and made... Hell broke loose. Two moves in the starting free agent market. Since 8 p.m. last night. And Zach Wheeler is off the free agent market, which counts as somewhat newsy for twins-wise. And the twins have been reported chasing Madison Bumgarner, which also counts as news like. So we said, no, let's scrap that plan. We'll hold that for probably next week, although next week is the winter meeting, so perhaps we'll bump it back again, which is fine with us, believe me. And let's do an emergency show. So I showed up at John's house banging on the door at the 801 a.m. 8.7 a.m. Let's not lie to the people. I was a little late. We got a lot to talk about.
