| 0:36.5 | Yeah, we're almost there It doesn't seem like it because I know. He's John, I'm Aaron. Twins Daily for him, athletic for me. I drove over here at negative 17 degrees. That's how much I love you, people. It doesn't feel like spring training or spring or anything. Now why is that to you? Because I've got a theory on why. I agree with you. It doesn't feel like spring. yeah you because i've got a theory on why i agree with you it |
| 0:54.9 | it doesn't feel like it yeah um because it's been in my house a 99% of the days for the last 10 months |
| 1:01.4 | possibly see that to me does feel like spring like that that's what that's a little winter my other theory |

| 1:45.7 | Right. |
| 1:46.0 | Right. And I mean, we didn't know if beat writers were going to be going down there. Like we didn't know if there was going to be any reason to go down there.
