I love how you can tell he's heard of baseball and even heard of some teams, but cannot put the right combination together. Especially for Texas Cub Cobblers, which was the sound of a brain forfeiting. Anyways, I would watch 47 more of these.
2. Cat attack
Be forewarned: This footage of a vicious cat attack is not for the faint of heart.

Bonus breather
To help you cope with the rest of your day of social distancing and processing the news, here's a little bonus breathing exercise to calm the nerves and provide a little digital therapy.
As much as it is a gigantic cliché to say that one has always had a passion for film, Matt Mueller has always had a passion for film. Whether it was bringing in the latest movie reviews for his first grade show-and-tell or writing film reviews for the St. Norbert College Times as a high school student, Matt is way too obsessed with movies for his own good.
When he's not writing about the latest blockbuster or talking much too glowingly about "Piranha 3D," Matt can probably be found watching literally any sport (minus cricket) or working at - get this - a local movie theater. Or watching a movie. Yeah, he's probably watching a movie.
