| 0:29.6 | And welcome to KVans Baseball Weekly with Gleeman and the Geek presented by pickpoints. I'm John Bonus of Twinsdaily.com next to me. On my right, about to speak, is Aaron Gleeman of NBCSports.com. You don't know I'm about this. What if I said, I'm not going to speak? It's all going to be used. You follow directions. It's going to be a monologue for you. And then over there on the far right is Ryan Donaldson, our producer. He's going to be here. |
| 0:55.7 | He's going to be a monologue for you. And then over there on the far right is Ryan Donaldson, our producer. He's going to be here. He's going to be a guest playing tracks or I don't know. They're basically to hold our hand because we don't have any idea what we're doing on it. We're going to bring the microphone out to the crowd for everybody if they want to ask some questions. That's cool. Tell me when we are we are, John. Yeah, the reason we need Ryan here to hold our hands is because we're at the state fair. |
| 1:12.9 | Aaron Gleeman is out here for, I think, the second time in a week. |
| 1:16.5 | He was here earlier Thursday morning to romance some young ladies who had gone Gleeman. |
| 1:24.5 | That's right. |
| 1:25.2 | I'm putting the rest to all rumors that i don't leave the house |
| 1:27.8 | coming here twice in four days had a date at the state fair which was uh let's say interesting |
| 1:34.6 | well i want to hear what do you let's can you elaborate uh i can elaborate we uh i don't want to |
| 1:41.1 | i don't want you to have to kiss and tell or anything but you know you might want might want to just... I wish. I wish there was some kiss in the towel. It just leaves a lot to be explained. Yeah, well, we had a little dating game style show here on Thursday morning on Paul Allen's show. And two, let's say, lucky women, for lack of a better word, competed. And I went out for fried pickles here with one of them, Molly. That's not a euphemism, right? No, it was not a euphemism. And we had like an hour-long date over fried pickles, and I think it went fairly well. Like I told, people were asking me, how did it go? And I said, listen, here's how I'll put it. I was as charming as as i can possibly be now whether or not that's good enough to make an impact on a woman remains to be seen but i could not be more charming if you managed to sit on a park bench and let's talk at the state fair for an hour that's a pretty good date all right well i think it was the fried pickles that kept to there but yeah then we walked back here and of course recap the date and immediately PA was like uh if you guys get married how much money do I get right I said well I wouldn't worry about that and he said I asked her out in a second I don't know would that count as a second date or a first date that that was a first day 1.5 asked her and PA was well, why don't you get down on bend in knee and ask her that? |
| 2:52.2 | I was like, why don't I not do that? This was, yeah, so I don't know. It was, I was expecting the worst from the whole thing, I guess, and it was not a complete disaster, so I count that as a huge victory. We should mention that this was not the person who won the contest, though. the actual woman who won we had we had uh by |
| 3:09.8 | audience applause picked uh a woman named stacey right and she had to go back to work right so she |
| 3:15.7 | claims i think she just wanted to run out of here savvy move stacey yeah and so uh i turned to the runner |
| 3:21.3 | up and uh you know whatever made uh lemonade out of lemons, I guess. Yeah, so that's the recap. Not a whole lot to talk about. John was here to show moral support. I was here to show moral support. Yeah, mostly that, I guess. And I came back again to eat some more. Yeah, I'm shocked to hear that. I don't know what my plan. When I was here Thursday morning, I literally, when I was leaving, I walked up to the Sweet Martha's cookies, it was my personal favorite thing here. And I just stood there and I looked at it. And for like two minutes, and then I left. You didn't get any? No, because... Are you kidding me? Well, I don't know if you know this, John. but I haven't had a chocolate chip cookie or anything like that in like two years so for those people who are new to the the |
| 4:01.5 | show slash podcast erin used to weigh i think last time i heard paul allen estimate it was about |
| 4:06.2 | 530 pounds thousand pounds three what did you actually weigh 355 35 and it's lost 175, 175 pounds in a little over a year. |
