| 0:51.0 | John Bonas still in, I don't know if he's in Australia or New Zealand somewhere around there. But I once again have a co-host who is arguably superior. A stand-in geek. Yeah, stand-in. Yeah, I guess you're not quite as geeky, but you could pass for a geek, I guess. Nick Nelson, who I'll try to act like this to some sort of professional broadcast and give you some sort of intro. I first knew Nick because he started a blog with a guy named Nick Mosvick, right? In what year was that? 2005 or the freshman in college at the time? He still in college. Called Nick and Nick's Twins blog. Back on the, was it blog spot days? Yep. Yeah. Back in them. And I thought it was good. The second Nick kind of dropped out somehow got a life and didn't think his time. He went to law school down in Virginia. I don't know. It's wasting away down there. Too important to be talking about twins on the internet. But Nick kept going on. Then when I was, back when I was running the baseball part of Roto World, |

| 1:48.3 | He used to do player news stuff too. |
| 1:50.4 | And he still does that. |
| 1:52.3 | And then Nick is also, I'm sure people know, part of Twinsdaily.com, |
| 1:56.3 | because bonus talks about that constantly. |
| 1:57.9 | I think really that's the only reason he does the podcast. |
| 2:00.6 | One is he just wants an excuse to have beer, obviously. Two, maybe I think he has a crush on me and just wants to take me out. I've noticed that. Once a week on the weekend. Be careful, by the way. It's very crushable, I've been told. But yeah, otherwise, he just likes to plug Twins Daly and Nick is I'll say you're one of my |
| 2:17.5 | top four writers on there I would rate you I would yeah definitely in the top five at least |
