I've been re-listening to all the Poscast Holiday Drafts in chronological order. Even as a San Francisco Giants fan who knows how it has turned out, your deferred $700 million check in the gift draft made me laugh out loud when I dropped my kids off this morning.

Giants fan here. A big secret I can share about Giants fans: we’ve always been envious of how vocal and passionate the Latinidad fans are down south. Our fandom as fans is a civic trust. Mad respect for calling out the Dodgers for not earning it aright now.

I'm a tenured professor of history and graduated from college 23 years ago. But I still have dreams that I didn't pass an upper-level class to graduate. You're right: those were the days!

Sending you the requisite story on us Filipinos and our seriousness with karaoke (mixed with a tinge of *chef's kiss* Orientalism )
Sinatra Song Often Strikes Deadly Chord (Published 2010)
The murders of people warbling “My Way” in karaoke bars have spawned urban legends about the song and left Filipinos groping for answers.
