This is a Headgum podcast.

Weir, yeah, too, out.

Weir, we're, we're, we're, here, we're, here, two, two, two, coo, out, this, this, this, this, yeah, yeah, and a new, we're, we're, we looks like we found ourselves back in front of the mics on Weird Here to Help.

Oh, I'm so happy.

Look at you basking in the glow of a Dodger, the World Series victory.

You look lighter in the air right now.

I'm so happy. It's bringing this town together. When they won, I opened my porch because everyone in my neighborhood was shooting stuff off. And I just yell, Dodgers. And every porch around me started yelling back. It was great to have neighbors. I don't talk to a ton. It was a beautiful thing, Steve. It was so cool. And you know, I've been on a road with Shohei Otani. I went to his first start in Anaheim in 2018 and watched him suffer for six years under horrible ownership. So I'm so happy for him. Yeah. He is a, he is, is, is he the best ever? He's in the conversation. He's in the conversation. He's doing something nobody else has done because people talk about Babe Ruth doing this.

Babe Ruth only did this for six months.

And then he said it was impossible to do and started faking injuries.

That's pretty cool.

You know what he could use, though?

He could use like a Wade Boggs story where like Wade Boggs drank like 95 beers in an airplane. Right. Yeah. That's where baseball gets really interesting to me. Oh, yeah, because it's the one sport you can do that. Or Mickey Mantle getting up and like hitting, hung over out of his mind they didn't think he could stand his comes in in

the late game hits a home run wins it's like what'd you do he's like I aim for the middle ball

yes that's amazing yeah I mean like oh Tony's great could he is a little edge I'm just saying

you know he's definitely drinking in the clubhouse during celebrations and shooting stuff I

think they have a whole PR machine around it but I hope he's's getting weird, Steve. I really do. Yeah, have a little fun and enjoy the ride.

So, Steve. Eric. This isn't anything I wanted to tell you today. Oh, God. We're going to have an

update, and all this talk has kind of been moved over to here to weird where it is. Okay.

I hope everybody is sitting down.

If you're driving, you might want to just kind of pull your car over briefly because there's no way to dance around it, so I'm just going to say it.

It looks right now like I have been banned from Vandy Camp.

And I have been banned from Dick Van Dyke's 100th birthday celebration. It's coming up in December.
