Juju's coming down for our watch party down here at Flanagan's on Thursday for the Ravens and the Dolphins. Game 5. When is Game 5 of the World Series, Jeremy? When are you doing your live stream with Chris Cody and others? When does Game 5 get scheduled here? That is tomorrow night, Wednesday night. At 8 o'clock, we will be live as first pitch is about to happen. We'll be getting you ready. We have this incredible graphic ready for you guys. I hate that photo of Chris Cody and myself, that other Emmy winner over there. Ethan, don't know who that is. Fons are great. But yeah, we're ready for what should be a really fun night. I mean, look, game five, ultimately, depending on the results tonight, could be the night that

the Dodgers win the World Series, or that means you have both teams going into too. It's going to be a lot of fun. Roy has just committed to doing it. Adnan's going to pop by. David Samson may pop by, so we're looking forward to continuing to add baseball friends. We have a lot of fun guests that might stop by. I'm skipping bowling for this, Dan. This is how important this is a big deal. This is how important this is. I got a text from Chris that said, hey, did I commit to Wednesday? Well, I saw you announced it, and I saw my name on it.

Well, he did commit. And I wrote to him like, I guess I'm skipping bowling. And I really appreciate that. And so does Draft Kings. How does that go over with Greg Cody and his trick knee? He takes bowling more seriously than just about anything in the world. How does he feel about you missing bowling? Well, he's out for two months, so I don't want to hear.

And now we have a good graphic. I, you know, I condone it. I can don't it. I officially condone it. own him doing the watch-along instead of, instead of bowling. Can you? Can you put on? You really bought into that. Thank you. He petered out. Can you put your mask back on? You took it off after the first hour. Sorry, it's at the dry cleaners. I'm sorry. That's not true in any way. It's not true. Liar. Sorry.

I'm going forward to the cliff notes back in my day next week. Thank you. Put your mask back on. I will. Juju, what do you have for us today? We're going to get to the polls with Juju in a second, but where would you like to start. I want to stay right here where we are on this baseball game. Contrary to, you know what I mean, the stereotypes. I actually watched the entire game last night. I was up to the break of dawn and I got a couple notes. Number one, Alejandro Kirk is a beast. This guy, he brought this brother on. Give him whatever contract he won't next year. Because him in the big Dumpper, goodness, gracious

alive. He's fun. I like this guy. He's got one of those Unda body types. Right. Also, Klein. Can we give Klein the biggest ones of the game award? Because him coming in the game, they kept reading how

horrible he been. All they kept talking about it. This man be giving up all these runs. Man, he is lights out in extra innings. Klein, salute, because he got in a crazy jam. At the top of that last inning, he needed to be Klein, and he was Klein. You are so right.

There were three pitchers in that game who have been terrible for a long time. Scherzor, Klein, and Kershaw, and all of them ended up being good enough in that spot. Right. And that was the last note I had. I have never been more nervous. Zaz, you mentioned this a couple of weeks with the movie, a couple of weeks ago with the movie, how you have second-hand embarrassment for people. Man, when I saw Clayton Kershaw

and all he needed was that one out, I was like, come on, brother. This is for the unks around the world, man. And he got it done on that last low-and-away pitch. You see the-solution. You see the video of his wife watching on the last? I think she was crying. She was.

Yeah. Should have been. No, but she was crying like before he got the out. She was so panicked, right? Truly panicked, just like knowing exactly what Dan set up, which is the exclamation on this, what Joe Davis kept referring to, his inner circle Hall of Fame career could end with blowing this game and blowing a world series for a guy who had that playoff reputation. And he came through in the moment, it was amazing. And to Juju's point,

not just Klein, but Eric Lauer, just because the Blue Jays didn't get the win, four and two-thirds innings for them and was dominant in the extra innings. It was amazing. Oh, my God, Jeff Bridges. That's a great photo. It looks like you told AI. Give me a picture of Jesus Christ pitching. I thought he was going to, never mind. I thought you were going to say it looked like you told AI.

Get Jeff Bridges pitching. That's what we did. That pitch will be in the movie of Kershaw's life. That last series, it will be in the movie just because he made it. You will not ever be able to fail to get me to laugh by putting up Jeff bridges in a Dodgers jersey I don't know why it makes me laugh every time

but it really does. Before we get to polls, before we get to listener comments, can we get to transactions that people in sports would love to have a mulligan on? Do you have an assortment of choices here that you can

help me with, Juju? I know this is difficult to throw at you, but you're pretty good library. off the top of your head. What do you have for us here? Yes, sir. Off the dome, whenever Zaz mentioned earlier as well, the Vikings had Sam Darno and Daniel Jones last year. What in the hell? I know they want that mulligan. So, yeah, it made me think of this. Okay, first of all,

O-LI, the bills trading their pick so that the chiefs can draft Xavier Worthy. I mean, why would we want to help them ever. They're the dark people. They're the dark haters of the world. There we go. Number 10, Markell Fuchs over Jason Tatum. Get out of here. Also, half of number 10, Ben Simmons over Jalen Brown. Number nine, this never happened. So don't look for it on the internet. Duane Way to Cleveland. Sorry, what?

Exactly. Never happens. Like Rocky Five. Anyone else confused still when they see D. Wade in the box score for the present cavalry? Dean Wade. Yeah. Number eight, the Cardinals take Josh Rosen over Lamar Jackson. Damn.

Number seven, the Los Angeles Lakers trade for Luca Donchick. So the Mavs want the mulligan on that one, right? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm pretty sure if Nico had a crystal ball, salute to Mario, he would definitely do things slightly different than he'd done it. Got Cooper flag. Hold the phone. Also, yeah, right quick, since you said that,

just Tony wants his credit for takes. I want to take this to the bank as well. VJ. Edgecom, Rookie of the year, 100%, as well as you feel me and as well as the bills will be way better on third downs

once we get Brian Robertson Jr. And we start involving Davin, not Davin Cook, James Cook in the passing game. A couple of dump downs every now and then.

Neither here nor there. Number six, the magic traded Chris Weber for Scott Skiles. I have no recollection of that. Look it up. And in the history books.

Number five, The Atlanta Hawks trade, Luca Donchich for Tray Young. It's a hell of a list. This is a hell of a list, Jujus put together. P.U. Number four, the Kobe Bryant. The Lakers trade, Kobe Bryant for Vladi DeVats. Charlotte, did.

Charlotte Hornets. Yeah. So Charlotte's the one that has the regret there, not the Lakers. Yep. Yep, Charlotte. P.U. Number three, the Portland Trailblazers draft Sam Bowie instead of Michael Jeffrey Jordan. You got two better than that. Yeah. Number two, the Boston Red Sox trade Babe Ruth for a musical and cash to the Yankees. That is better than that. You got one better than that? Yes, the worst transaction in the history of sports.

The Jets picked Zach Wilson over Jamar Chase, Pat Sertane, Punei Sewell, Michael Parsons, Devante Smith, Jalen Waddle, Kyle Pitts, Javante Williams, Nico Collins, Alman Ross St. Brown, and two-time Super Bowl champion, Cadarius Tony. Excellent. Excellent work. What a draft that works. That was crazy. Do you have any listener comments for us here before we get to the polls, Juju? Oh, yeah. You're not going to like this one, Dan.

So you was mentioning earlier in the show about how when you wear a costume, after the show you're completely, you have a headache, and you don't even know what life is anymore. And Benjamin Sabalos from Twitter, King of Texas, 1981 says, yo, get your boy, Dan. he's tone deaf to how it sounds about crying about wearing a hold on a little i messed it up i can't read hooked on phonics ladies and gentlemen hooked on phonics it's real get your boy dan he's tone deaf to how he sounds

crying about how hard it is to wear a costume just a suit some sunglasses looked heavy first world problems okay you just did a mask for one segment and then And stop doing it and just made the lie of sending your mask to the dry cleaners. And Greg's defense, in Greg's defense, it wasn't a bucket punishment. He did that voluntarily. So he did it an extra segment than he even had to for the good of the show, Dan. Thank you, Billy. You wanted to be a man wear a blazer.

Yes, a $40 jacket. Unbelievable. And by the way, the dry clean, when you send a mask, a rubber mask to a dry cleaner, you've got to pick a specialty dry cleaner. Not everybody's going to do that. Great cost. Build a metal arc. the mask is right next to you you didn't go to any dry cleaner you didn't leave you were here the whole time

where's the mask nonsense also dan that curl yesterday that little superman curl you had dripping on your forehead you might need to bring that back into the rotation because that was a good one I don't know about the bucket hat but that curl needs to be involved yeah sexy it gave me a headache that that That's where the headache came from. That curled gave me the headache. It was hardship. It was very hard. It was handsome, nevertheless.

Also, we got breaking news out of the WNBA right now. The WNBA and the WNPA are extremely unlikely to agree to a new CBA by the deadline of October 31st, per Ben Pickman. You've got to give him the breaking news sound whenever it is that he says he has breaking news. The polls, let's update the polls at Levitard show, Juju. Did Clayton Kershaw look older than Sandy Kofax last night? 85% of the audience says, yes, he did. Are there going to be a bunch of people in sports media today lying saying that they watched the entire baseball game last night? Damn, 99% of the audience says,

Yes, there will be. Last poll, are cheese doodles harder to find than you think? 70% of the audience says yes, and those are your pose. Thank you, Juju. Talk to you later. Yes, sir. Pitch clock. Tune in.

My man.
