The theory is that sports and fandom allows you to feel real emotion.

I think I buy that.

Yeah, I mean, I think that, like, when the Cubs finally won, the emotion that poured out of people that would not normally...

be emotional, right?

Like people talking about their grandfathers and all of this.

And I mean, the argument that the psychologist was making, which I thought was fascinating, is that we as a society need to do a much better job of letting men feel emotion.

Yeah.

I'd be really interested to hear Mike's thoughts specifically on this because I've thought about this.

That seems very sport.

Like, it wasn't the same watching it without the cheers, without the people in the stands.

But there was a moment that Mike was right there on the cusp where they stopped putting laugh tracks on comedy.

And it was still hilarious to people.

Okay.

No.

But do you think that—I don't think that could ever happen in sports, no matter how much you retrain fans.

Across the board.

It's not just the fans that go to the game.

It's we don't care if you don't have Amazon Prime.

The Game 7 is on Amazon Prime anyway.

We don't care.
