Jack Podcast in like sixteen weeks now. Nordo is freaky Friday, Man,
I who knows right? Yeah?Dominated last week? Just dominated dominated.
So who was it last year thatgave you a run? Was it who
gave you a run in the finals? Was Tyler and Max in the first
(27:45):
round? Tyler and Max the floppedin the sun last year? I got
one. That's the lowest I've evergotten. Oh, Man, Perry,

So what are you thinking about thegame today? There a j Montster.
Do you think the Twins can wrapher up tonight? Well? I
loved John's John Bonus was on earlierand his breakdown of you know, the
rain possibility. The way that theBullpens played out really kind of made me
feel better. Typical Minnesota, justwaiting for that letdown, like all of
(28:52):
us kind of talked about. ButI think that this is just a different
it's it's the team is shaped differently, and it's shaped around pitching. And
then you got the situation where theguys who were supposed to carry the lineup
through the through the season kind ofall flopped and you got this emergence of
all these new guys that come up. And now if those guys that Kreas
and if they can have an impactlike we thought they were going to,
(29:14):
I feel different about this team,not like World Series different, but I
think they're gonna handle business today.Then they didn't tax anybody out of the
pant either. So everybody's ready forthe Bluejays. I love the matchup against
Burrios. I think they're gonna lightthem up today, I really do.
And all you got to say isRoyce Lewis for feeling different that they have
a guy he's so good. Yeah, sixty five and no chance of rain
(29:36):
at three o'clock. Let's go andliterally let's go like change, no chance,
no chance right now, Parish,we're talking you into it. You're
