How are you?
First off, I want to congratulate you on your World Series win this weekend.
Thank you. I know you guys
have been waiting for one. Thank you. For the company for a while. Yes, Tampa clinches,
yes.
I'm good, Jake. I hung out with one of my idols for three minutes this weekend. That was awesome. Shout out Jose Iglesias. What was that about? I posted about him on my Instagram. Nice. Go follow.
And
then someone from his team reached out. And they're like, do you want to come chat with him and see the show? And I was like, I would love nothing more. I was going to pay for it with my own money. Yeah. And I will go
instead. The
perks. Kind of. That was like a nice little thing. And he's so popular. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. People brought OMG Science to the show. Out of control. People are nuts. Great show, by the
way. That's good. Shout out. Jose Iglesias. One of the best. Hands, monos. Jake had a good comment on this one. I've ever seen. Yeah, I gave you a little love. I can't chop you down all the time. It
was a pleasant surprise.
A Latin sexual sensation and Jose Iglesias. 68 likes. Can you use one more, Rob?
Rob, get in there. Use one more like
in there. I noticed that you
hadn't liked it, Rob. It's okay.
Are you done? Nice. Go
Giants.
Crazy weekend. Yeah, I'll be honest. New York's running hot. I mean, coming off 9-11 on Friday, 25 years. That was just an emotional day. And then segueing into baseball and then segueing into football. I mean, Rob's Jets, Jolly's Giants. Yeah. You tonight. Horsies tonight. We're not going to talk about that. We're going to talk about what happened around the league. At least the games that mattered. There's a lot of series that did not matter. If you're a fan of those teams, I am sorry. But I'm not at all. Because we're sneaking less than two weeks to the postseason. A dozen games, right? Is that it? I mean, two weeks from tomorrow is the first wild card game. I'm so excited. So, I'm praying Jolly has the standings because that's... Is that my job?
Kind of the only... Oh, God. You're just like the other guy. Let's do some American League. And what would American League baseball be without the St. Louis Cardinals? Hosting the Chicago White Sox. And there is a lot of AL Central talk today. Because, oh my God, full circle. The White Sox. They win that middle game thanks to a Randall Gritchick. Two out. Homer, Homer. But outside of that, they drop two out of three to the Cardinals, who have just been fighting all year. They can't stop Alec Burleson. After a tough error to win that final game, he's driven in a ton of runs this year. Leo Bernal got involved.
