Good morning James, I'm doing well. Good to see your smile and face. It's a great night for baseball. For our Milwaukee fans and listeners, I'm sorry. Welcome to the wild card. There's no way I'm listening.

And for, yeah, that's actually a great call. So all right, go screw you Milwaukee tune in. Oh, no. And for our nationals fans that are listening, sorry you had to endure eight innings of that. Yeah, I was going to say there's the nationals fans didn't really have a fun night.

Almost got it worse than the brewers. The brewers was kind of a band day. They they had their guy in the situation and they had to lead the whole game and then it was the rug got taken out from under him.

Man, this is crazy. What was your situation watching the game? You went to a bar. So yesterday I made a promise to the listeners that I would have a blackout game. I wasn't actually going to blackout. I thought you were going to go live and do it.

I would live on what? Like that was my that was my problem. Just be active like I mean, I was being I was live on Twitter. I was I was going the whole night. But yeah, I didn't really have the form for that. But uh, yeah, it was a it was a good time in gym leading up to the game. And I I don't know if we want to I guess we could dive not fully into it, but leading up to the game.

Because you and I had talked earlier that day and we both kind of landed on the same page where it's better for baseball if the nationals win this game.

They would be a they're going to they are going to be a really tough out in the playoffs if they won that game, which they did. And the brewers. Yeah, they were a fun story in there.

They've been fighting hard in their pesky and you know, no yellage. Obviously the closer I got to game time, I was rooting brew crew, man. I was feeling it. I was like, yeah, let's pass the torch.

Um, you know, the gnats because what got me was gnats fans were thinking the same thing. Nats fans were rubbing their hands going, we win this. I think we're looking good.

And I just like the brewers mentality. And then I was going to link up with because I was going to drink during this game. So I linked up with our friend Jeff, who is a brewers fan. So then it felt like a perfect storm. We went to a bar called Badgers.

Big Wisconsin sports bar in Denver. And man, it was just awesome. The intensity of every pitch. When the yes man hits that home run. It's just like, whoa, we are in it now.

So yeah, it was, it was, it was awesome until until the end. And I snuck out of Badgers pretty quick. But, uh, but it was a great, great baseball game. How, uh, how, how did, how did the game go for you, James?

I mean, it was pretty good. I was just sitting here and enjoying it. Twitter was down. So I can impose gifts or videos. That was pretty frustrating. Right. For a while, it took me a while to realize it was down for everyone, even like MLB.

Bad timing, Twitter.

Come on, Twitter. Baseball needs this. Why don't I because TBS was being ruthless.

They were hunting down the most miserable fans. Yeah, that was, that was pretty funny. Like, just ruthless. I mean, I had to share them. I was obligated to because they're hilarious. And I felt for them. I felt for national fans. People thought I was making fun of them. Like, no, I've been there.

2017 Wildcard game. I've been through all these emotions. The release of winning is amazing. For brewers fans when they open up three nothing in the second inning. Like that release is amazing.
