During the Nationals’ spring training game against the Tigers on Wednesday, Gio Gonzalez had one of the more unique in-game interviews you’ll see this season. To no surprise, Scherzer is rumored to be the brains behind the operation.

The pitcher worked the word “meow” into his responses 10 times, a stunt made famous by the cult comedy classic “Super Troopers”, which is a remarkable accomplishment seeing as his interview only lasted three minutes. During the entire ordeal, Scherzer was seen counting the “meows” on his hand with a big smile on his face.

Afterwards, the two celebrated as though they had just won the World Series.
