and Hello welcome to another episode of Purple Insider, Matthew Collar here,

along with Paul Hotuwanic of WCCo radio

and sometimes MLB.com.

I quote tweeted an MLB.com article by you, and I'm sorry I still referred to you as

intern Paul because that's what you're always going to be in my heart.

If I can get you to read an MLB.com article, like I have thoroughly done my job as a as a well documented not big baseball fan that you are if you are engaging in any MLB content, I feel like I have done my

job in spades. So yes, I was at MLB covering the twins all week and now I'm doing a Vikings

podcast. Couldn't be happier to be here. I didn't say I read it. I said I quote

tweeted it. I said I shared it with my following to express my pride that you have developed your skills at purple insider from

intern Paul to professional Paul to MLB.com Paul journeyman Paul that was yeah yeah

that well that's what you really are because you're doing, you know, some work for the Associated Press, a little for MLB, a little for here, but your main job is at WCCO radio, and so everyone's proud, but you'll always be, um, you'll always be a intern Paul.

Anyway, the point is that no I did not read your article

but we do have a lot to talk about with.

Baby steps. I'm sorry, baseball.

The games just take too long.

It's just, there's nothing I can do about it, baseball.

We had a, a, this weekend, there was a two hour and 17 minute game.

It was amazing, but yes yes today was like three and a

half hours so I get it yeah the I have I mentioned the two and a half hour

rule to you on here I don't think so no the two and a half hour rule for me is if I go to a baseball game,

because I do enjoy target field and other baseball fields,

if I go to a baseball game, I leave exactly two and a half hours into the game because I am not invested enough in anything that happens to stay beyond that and that's just about the time where I've gotten everything I asked for from baseball. I got a few innings of play. I got a couple of hot dogs or whatever type of food that I wanted. I enjoyed the evening outside, but there's only so long I really want to sit in that type of chair so then it's time to go.
