So Nacho Man gained a new respect for the Chicago Cubs after Addison Russell brought him nachos after spilling them during Monday’s game against the St. Louis Cardinals and then things got weird at Busch Stadium.
In case you didn’t see what happened, here’s a quick recap of how the Nacho Man was born.

Anyway, after that was shown all over social media he was interviewed by both TV stations broadcasting the game.

Instant star. And he had pretty good seats that allowed him to get several foul balls. Seems like a cool guy, but then other fans started to make it weird.
Now, I know Cardinals fans were crushed watching the Cubs demolish their team, but you’re going down to take pictures with Nacho Man and asking for his autograph?
Rouuuuuuuugh look, Cardinals fans.
Cardinals fans have nothing left. They've resorted to taking pictures with Nacho Man. pic.twitter.com/YU07UxhX3m

HOWEVER! Somehow it was a Cubs fan who made it really weird.
I don’t know if this was an original idea and if it was it makes it more troubling, but I’m guessing the video you’re about to see was in response to Bleacher Nation’s Brett Taylor.
Nacho Man is now giving autographs.
I would make him sign my chest with nacho cheese.#VerifyBert

What a day. The Cardinals set off fire works after a Kris Bryant home run, the Cubs eliminate the Cardinals from the division race and a Cardinals fan becomes Nacho Man and signs a Cubs fan chest with cheese.
By the way, Nacho Man’s nephew was the one wearing red that got run into by Russell and he got no attention at all.
That was my nephew! He was in a lot of pictures with me after the whole incident! Also my girlfriend is okay after head butting addi

Well, hope everyone enjoyed their 15-minutes of fame, although Jon Lester didn’t find it funny.
Lester: “Guy fell into him &got nacho cheese on his arm & he’s taking pictures &signing autographs. Shows u where our society’s @ right now”

OK, Jon. Chill out, have a beer and chicken with some nachos.
