Sweet life, sweet life, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet life.

Sweet life.

Sweet life, sweet life, sweet pie.

You've had a landscaper and a housekeeper since you were born.

And welcome to The Gleaving and the Geek.

A show, I guess I can't be at 100.3 FM, sponsored by Perkins Specialized Transportation.

I'm across the table from a mosquito welted, Aaron Gleeman.

I went outside, people, and that was a mistake, really, is what happened. I went out into the elements at John's house, had a beer outside. You know better than that. Do you know the theme from that opening song, theme of the week? Sweet life. Yeah, it's really a struggle to come from the good one this week. I have no idea. Are you talking about how nice it was sitting on the patio last night? No, we were in a suite. Oh, in the suite. That's really all it is. John and I took in a game, last night's game in a suite, courtesy of Minpost. Lucky. Yeah, no big exciting stories or anything, but I was like, what can I make the... Because now I'm committed to choosing songs based on a theme every week.

Right.

And so I went with that.

The twins haven't had an overall writing theme this week, really?

I mean, they are where they have been for three...

Ever since the 10-game losing streak and then the relative bounceback,

they have been neither sinking nor swimming. Yeah. They've been to continue the, what is it, not a liberation, the comparison. They've been treading water, right? I mean, they've been treading water. When's the last time this team was not four, five, or six games, three, four, five, or six games under 500? I mean, it's been like two weeks, right? It's a weird spot, too. Yeah, I'm looking at the, you're about right. Four to six games, basically, below five. They're close enough that if you want to be optimistic, and if you were impressed by a particular game or whatever. Or if your expectations were really, really low coming into the season. Well, yeah, but I just mean you can say, well, they're close to another good weekend.

They're at 500.

Right.
