Die-hard Cubs fan Bill Murray got an exclusive interview with team president Theo Epstein after the historic World Series win early Thursday morning.

You can barely see the interview, which was posted to Facebook by MLB on Fox, thanks to all the celebratory Champagne being sprayed around the locker room.

“It’s a good burn, it’s a good burn,” Murray said after the beverage got in his eyes.

“You’re particularly dry, though,” he said to Epstein before dumping Champagne over the team president’s head.

Epstein thanked Cubs supporters, saying, “You guys are all world champs tonight.” 

Watch the interview above.
