We talked with Josh Towers about this yesterday. But I want to bring in my old buddy from Fangraphs. He works at FanGraphs. does the Sleeper in the bus podcast over there.

We started talking about baseball, me and Paul Spore, about eight, nine years ago. We had never met face to face. And then, like, two months ago, we're in an airport security line. Neither one of us was doing TSA. I was with my girlfriend. She didn't have TSA, so I had to be in the, you know, security line. Mattel. That's how I was rolling that day. And it was this peasant. Like a peasant. And it was this long, this long winding, taking forever security line. And there's Pauly with his girlfriend, right? Like just the sort of the lane behind me. And so here we are meeting for the first time and we awkwardly had to like swerve into each other like five or six different times. And so the first time I'm like, hey, Paul, give each other a hug. Second time, like, oh my God, I can't believe we met. third time few small few small dog. Four time, we're like, hey, man. A fifth time, you're like, I have nothing else. It's very awkward right now. Six times, I'm like, okay, bye. Take care. Paul Smorela, ladies gentlemen, good morning, Polly. Gil, how's it going, man? Going very well. Amazing. It was an amazing way to meet too because, you know, I mentioned to you that I'm going to be in town. You're like, oh, you know, I'm not really going to be there.

I'm travel for the holidays. I'm going to dip in for a small period of time. Right. And we meet in the line. That was unbelievable. But I got to get back out there and spend some quality time with you. Baseball's coming up. I am beyond excited. Beyond exciting. Yeah. What do you like? 6.5, by the way, Paul? I just want to get a visual for people. 6.5. Just think basically Chris Sale, 6.5 and lean. Taylor Swift, Chris Sale, that's the body type that you're thinking. Taylor Swift, Chris, all right.

That's good visual right there.
