and away. And away we go. Welcome to the show. Glad to have you with us here today. I'm Sean Steyer's. Vince

DeRio is in full Cubs regalia today. Well, that may be not full, but he's got his Cubs jersey on

anyway. Well, you can't see the bottom half, obviously. Not that I have my Cubs pants on or anything,

but this is about as jerseied up as I'm going to get.

You know what I mean?

Like, I'm not a big jersey guy, but, you know, this is the World Series, David Ross jersey,

which was a gift to me by one of the parents of a kid I coached.

He randomly asked you who my favorite player was.

At the time, it was David Ross because he's old like I was and he's a catcher like I was.

So like it all fit.

And he got me a David Ross jersey.

Nice.

Very nice.

Yes.

Best gift I've ever gotten. Do you remember when I interviewed David Ross on this show after the World Series? You don't remember that? How can I forget that? Oh, yeah, I was good to say. I would hope you remembered. It was like post-world series. And he was, you know, so he was riding that high. He was. And he was doing like one of these.

It was, he, remember he was doing dancing with the stars?

That's right.

That's how we got it because they were promoting the show.

And like back at that time, like it was probably the peak of dancing with the stars because this has been what, nine years eight nine years ago whatever at this point so my

wife and i actually used to watch that show back then it's been a while since we've watched it but uh so

i was like the only one in the building who could talk both baseball and dancing with stars

with david ross so i did the full. It was a lot of fun. Good guy.
