[upbeat music] Hello, everybody, and welcome to a new episode of The MidMax Show, a place about games, friends, getting better. I'm honored to be joined by one Jacob Geller.
Jacob Geller· Panelist0:27
Uh, an honor for me as well.
Ben Hanson· Host0:30
Yeah. Uh, we're joined by Kelsey Lewin. And Kelsey, I apologize for us not knowing anything about baseball last week on the podcast.
Kelsey Lewin· Panelist0:36
[laughs] Oh my gosh. [laughs] You named... You guys named two people that have been retired for a decade. [laughs] One of which, by the way, owns the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Ben Hanson· Host0:45
Yeah, so he's relevant.
Kelsey Lewin· Panelist0:45
That's where you live.
Ben Hanson· Host0:47
Yeah.
Kelsey Lewin· Panelist0:47
That's where you live, Ben.

With Ohtani.
Ben Hanson· Host0:49
Okay. See?
Alanah Pearce· Guest0:49
Ohtani.

He did... He could not name Ohtani. He said Bhutani.
Ben Hanson· Host0:52
I said Wuhtani, to be fair- [laughs] ... but it was from Aliens- [laughs] ... seeping into my brain.

I really thought you guys would have that in the bag.
Ben Hanson· Host1:00
Oh.
Kelsey Lewin· Panelist1:00
I thought you could at least name Ohtani and just be like, "Come on, guy. Like, obviously I can name Shohei Ohtani or Mike Trout or something like that."
Ben Hanson· Host1:07
Wow. Sorry. Darryl Strawberry.
Kelsey Lewin· Panelist1:09
Ugh.
Ben Hanson· Host1:09
Um, we're also joined by- I'm not even from here.
Alanah Pearce· Guest1:11
Sorry, go ahead.
Ben Hanson· Host1:12
[laughs] No, it's very impressive. Pat Hilliard's here.
Jacob Geller· Panelist1:14
Hey. I would've gotten a bunch of baseball players if I had been on that episode.
Ben Hanson· Host1:18
Oh, no doubt.
Kelsey Lewin· Panelist1:19
Totally.
Jacob Geller· Panelist1:19
Totally.
Ben Hanson· Host1:19
