I've been warm, oh women, yeah, yeah, you warm, perfect, yeah.

I bet you never lose my love, you will win, I bet you.

Oh, yeah, I bet you never lose my love, you can't do it.

I bet you.

Oh, through it.

Good morning and welcome to Episode 976, so effectively wild, the daily podcast from

baseball perspective brought to you by the play index at baseballreference.com and our

Patreon supporters from Sam Miller of ESPN along with Ben Lindbergh of the ringer.

Hi Ben, how you doing?

Okay, I've got a few things to gab about, but do you?

I didn't until we just got an email about 10 minutes ago that I figured we should read

one more.

I thought we were finished with the Cubs' Parade attendance topic, but one more email from

the listener named Tim.

Just stealing it, you've just taken it from me.

Oh, so this is, you're just going to steal the email.

It's a dress too, both of us.

I just feel like I've been doing most of the lifting on the Cubs' routets so far, so

if someone's going to get the credit for taking it over the finish line, but that's fine,

that's fine.

I hand off the baton to you with like literally eight feet to go in this relay.

Go ahead.
