Winter Meltdown Edition

John Bonas of Trincentally.com with, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic.com.

So what you're going to hear on today's podcast is what we did last night, which is we had,

was it the seventh annual?

Seventh annual, seventh official, eighth eighth actual what was the first one well

the first one basically we just bought a keg across the street of the metrodome at hubert the back room

humberts and everybody 120 people just showed up right yeah the seventh one where we thought let's

actually make this a presentable event with guests and everything. And so last night we were at the Lumber Exchange Building. Is that what's called? Yep. Lumber Exchange Event Center. Lumber Exchange Building, which is above poorhouse downtown three blocks. Built in 1885 this building. Yeah. I had never been there. I didn't even know it existed honestly. was like, first of all, way too nice for us. Right. Like I could picture like having a wedding there. And in fact, next door there was a wedding going on. It was just super high ceilings and, you know, like gorgeous old brick like you were talking about great open space. Right. The stage. A cool old building. which we haven't always had in the past and we were lucky enough to

have two great guests right we've had some great guests uh we've been fortunate the twins have helped

us get some great guests and we've had some great guests but this is i think the combo that we

had last night yeah it's gonna be tough to beat we're gonna sooner or later we're gonna we're not we're going to, we're not going to beat. I had this conversation with somebody afterward, and they said, you're running out in names in Twins history that you can keep climbing. They need to develop some more superstars. So in 10 years, you can have. But so what you're going to hear when we shut up on this intro in two minutes

is first you're going to hear ken herbeck who is our lead-off guest uh and as you may expect if you

familiar with ken herback uh great guest yep he almost didn't need us he speaks very candidly yes

so there's a couple points that i wanted to say that may or may not.
