Hey, everybody. Welcome to Dr. Oop podcast. We appreciate everyone being here and supporting

the show. And as I've always say, I support people that support us. Don't forget to after

darks line around there and also the streaming shows at dr. TV and do support the people

that support us. We can keep doing this little thing. Today, we are welcoming back an

old friend. Uh, she has a new book. It's not even so new anymore. It took me a damn

long time to get her in here. My fault, mea culpa. It is Teresa Strosser. It is a wonderful

book, according to Cal Ripken, which I also saw the video with you dancing around the room

and your kids going, geez, what you were so weird. What is wrong with you? Teresa Strosser,

welcome. Thank you for having me. Yeah. I think my happy dance was longer than Cal Ripken

Jr. is consecutive game streak. It's not funny. I could not believe that he said so many

wonderful things about my book. I mean, Drew, I should just tell you this story. I thought

to myself, whose name do I want on the cover of a book about baseball? It's also about

grief, but a memoir about baseball and grief, little league. And then I thought Cal Ripken

Jr. is probably the most iconic living baseball player on top of that. He has a youth baseball

league. So I did. Yep. That makes sense. Right. So he was the guy. But then I thought I've

got to use my connections as a journalist. Right. I'm a trained journalist. So this is what I'm

going to do. I googled how to reach Cal Ripken Jr. Yeah. It's weird. I got to tell you something.

It is weird how much information can be acquired that way. I literally, a friend of mine,

was asking me to get to Mark McWire. Mark Cuban. Oh. And he just goes, I bet you can figure it

out. We was when he was talking a lot about health care and stuff. And I thought it was kind

of interesting. What he was talking about. And he goes, you get to him. I go, what do you mean

I get to? It's Mark Cuban. How am I going to get to Mark Cuban? He goes, you figure it out.
