| 0:15.0 | He is John Bonus, Twins Geek bonus. |
| 0:18.0 | Let's give you a full nickname. |
| 0:19.0 | We are at the Park Tavern in St. Louis Park, which was home to our first ever podcast a full nine episodes ago. |
| 0:26.9 | Is that right? |
| 0:27.4 | Yeah. |
| 0:27.6 | We're repeating already, which tells you two things. |
| 0:30.8 | One, there aren't that many bars within like, you know, a five-mile radius in my house. |
| 0:36.3 | And two, John continues to drink water, so he keeps emailing me, you know, Tuesday morning and go, well, since I'm not drinking beer, I have no right to tell us where to go for the podcast.

| 2:02.1 | I mean, they were done in July, but they're officially been done now for a few weeks, |
