00:00 Congrats to the Cubbies for winning the World Series!

00:03 And while I'm not a huge baseball fan, or necessarily the Cubs, we do have a resident

00:07 Chicago Cubs fan here at What's Trending.

00:10 He's the managing editor of our whatstrending.com site, give it up for Peter!

00:15 Woo!

00:16 Woo!

00:17 Peter!

00:18 How's my hair, guys?

00:20 That feel when you've been waiting over a century for your team to win.

00:23 Chicago Cubs won the World Series last night after a 108-year drought, and the whole country

00:27 is freaking out.

00:29 Me especially.

00:30 Cubs pitcher Jake Arrieta, President Jake Arrieta, posted this legendary tweet this

00:34 morning, "Hey Chicago, what do you say?

00:37 I say breakfast tacos and tequila."

00:39 Bill Murray went wild in the locker room, interviewing players and chugging champagne.

00:43 LeBron James was there, he freaked out.

00:46 And John Cusack was there, he didn't really do anything.

00:48 People are loving this girl's video of her grandpa, who's been waiting 81 years for this

00:52 special moment.

00:53 I can't believe it.

01:02 Brings tears to our eyes.

01:04 Big tears.

01:05 I cried last night.

01:06 One, literally one tear went down my cheek, the rest stayed in my eyes.

01:09 And then there's this girl's grandparents, who always believed this was going to happen.

01:13 Yes!

01:14 Yes!

01:15 Yes!

01:16 Yes!

01:17 Woo!

01:18 Cubs win!

01:19 Cubs win!

01:22 And you can't help but feel emotional about all the people who didn't make it, and the

01:25 people who are writing their names on Wrigley Field.

01:28 I for one, shout out to my grandfather, he died in 1980, never got to see this.

01:32 Unfortunately, Twitter user Mike Nero got a tattoo of Cleveland's racist mascot with

01:37 the words "2016 Champs" written on it.

01:40 Mike has been mercilessly harassed on Twitter by people from both sides.

01:44 But you know what?

01:45 He seems to be taking it pretty well.

01:46 I for one miss Steve Goodman most of all.

01:49 He wrote "Go Cubs Go" and he wrote "A Dying Cubs Fan's Last Request," both of which are

01:54 classic Cubs songs, and he died in the 80s too, so you know, he never got to see this.
