Dan, I know what you're thinking. What am I thinking? Close game show. We did it. We survived. Billy didn't

tell us about how he did in Daily Fantasy this week. Not so fast my friend. It's in honor of Lee Corso. He went to Indiana this week. He used to coach there. He had a double decker bus. He put on the sweater. From Alipada. You guys mentioned all of there. He had a double decker bus, put on the sweater. From Alipada. Yeah. Oh yeah. You guys mentioned all of that. Yeah, he was moving.

People were crying, Dan. There were people crying. That is true. Eating meat, kicking footballs. You know one thing we didn't mention? What's that Billy? Every week you go to dkng.co slash Smirnoff and that is where you can compete against us

in our weekly fantasy contest. Three dollars buy-in, it's presented by Smirnoff, the world's number one vodka, please drink responsibly. How did I do? Great question. Last week, I finished in the 40s, right out of the money. This week, in the 320s, but I'm well on my way.

Yeah, I picked some tight ends, I picked good tight ends. It was everyone else that let me down last week, so unfortunately I wasn't in the money. I know you're wondering who was my quarterback, who was my receiver. We can catch up offline on that one. I don't wanna. Yeah, I'm not interested.

What do you mean? I'm not interested at all. Offline. Yeah, no, it's fun. It's fan engagement. That's what we're missing. Fan engagement, fans engaging with us, playing fantasy against us.

I like to fancy myself a man of the people. That's why I play against them every week. Also, because I can take their money. But you never do. DKNG.co slash Smirnoff. You could take their money. I did the first week. But you don't.

Well I shared with them. I shared. I only took some of the money. The other money went to the other winners. Another contest that we have tomorrow that I want to remind you of because I believe it's the best prize we've ever given, the most intimate prize we've ever given as part of the Weekend Observations contest with Miller Lite. Tell them one more time, Mike, what it is that they can get because if you love our show as the most diehard and loyal people do, and I believe that group of people, Stugatz, is the most fervent zealots that you will find anywhere in sports entertainment. I tell you all the time how grateful I am for the idea that there are people out there who spend three hours a day

with all of the options that they have with our show because they're addicted to the cotton candy elements of this. Those people will have a chance to win what I believe is to be the most intimate prize we've ever given here as part of our partnership with Miller Lite which has been a very good sponsor to this show. It could be a die-hard fan or it could be a total rando that found us on DraftKings.com slash pools. That's the way it works. In my mind I'm competing with gladiator 2's pool so I want to top that number so we'll take any Joe Schmo that just comes across this on draftkings.com slash pools. You can find it on your DraftKings app, real easy towards the bottom of towards the

top of your screen, click that pools. And because this pool closes tomorrow at 9am, it is closer to the top. But yeah, it's a real cool event. And I think if you are indeed a diehard listener that is hoping to make predictions and win this contest, You've heard us talk about how much we love going to our local watering hole, Flanagan's, being able to get the rock and rib rolls right. Nachos. Flanagan's. We love Flanagan's and to be able to do this

with a partner like DraftKings and a partner like Miller Lite. Miller Lite's been one of our great legacy partners here on this show for almost the entirety of the 20 years that we've been together, dating back to local. So this is a real cool activation that we got here for tomorrow's weekend observation.

So make sure you lock your entrance in before nine a.m. tomorrow. Who's gonna be back? Yes, that's one of the best. I'll tell you offline, Dan. Okay. I'm so worried about you doing something shady with this. What? No one is gonna ask. No one knows? I'm running your offline, Dan. I'm so worried about you doing something shady with this. No one knows.

I'm running your script through compliance. Don't cheat, Stugats. You're going to ruin it for everybody. He's a cheater. He is a cheater. How did Duke lose that game? One of the things we didn't get to somehow on the show today is one of the great botched national anthems of our time.

Stugats, have you seen this? Because this is unfortunate. I think Mike Ryan left the executive producer role at least in part because he was afraid of something like this happening to us on live television. Because when you're live you can't make it unlive and live is forever if you make the mistake that ends all of your sponsorships because you've got aging hosts and a sloppy circumstance of disorganized talent all around them. Let's play the sound from C-SPAN and a man in the background with really truly majestic founding father hair as this woman botches the national anthem and the

it you know that i go back please and I got too nervous. And I wait for the land of the free and the home of the brave. I am judging from looking at Mike Ryan that he had not seen or heard that because of how horrified he is of that happening through. The guy's hair you're talking about, huh? The Snowmizer.

That's unfortunate. Oh my god. That was Fergie level, right? I mean, she did rebound nicely. She did continue. Of course she sounded nice and she's got a lovely singing voice. She's tried the jazzy version towards and try to rebound there. Billy, what are you making faces about? Come on, man, what are we doing?

That was a great performance except that one mistake. Yeah. It was a pretty big mistake. Yeah, two mistakes, but yeah, you can't say, you can't be cursing during the interview. I've bleeped that up. Let me start over. We're live.

Just give it to me again, please, the whole thing again, so you can just really sink into again, just how terrible this feels right in the middle of it. But it was- Is that Dr. Frank behind her? What is this? His hair.

His hair. He looks like the kid from Texas. Yeah. Oh, come on. He looks like the kid from Texas. Yeah. When Ponce we watched were so gallantly streaming and the rockets red glare I f***ed that, I f***ed that. Can I go back, can I go back please?

Go back. A bomb bursting in air I got so nervous. Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there. Oh, say does that star spangled banner yet wave. Lucy continues to wince here. It's like, it's metaphorical, it's like the American dream. You get second chances or third chances.

Maybe that was the whole overall plan. I like it. Stugat, one thing I will not let us get out of here today without talking about a little bit more, no matter how much giant professional football is and no matter how giant college football is, is the second biggest sport in america the home run by freddie freeman as a baseball moment when a whole lot of

people were watching this wasn't some uh... small world series moment that people weren't paying attention to they tuned into game one yankees dodgers to get the height of the sport with all of the biggest stars. I mean it's Yankees Dodgers game one and they have a lead the Yankees have a lead in this game. They're leading in extra innings the postseason extra inning Grand Slam is a rare thing and Stu Gotts was saying just before we turn the microphones on that Freddy Freeman is the Dodgers third best player and he's not wrong in their prime at their best ohtani and bets are somehow better than Freeman even though

Freeman's a Hall of Famer they walk bats to get to Freeman they wanted Freeman because Freeman's hurt is the reason and for those of you not paying attention to how the reporting is going about Soto, the Dodgers are going to bid on Soto. The Dodgers want Soto to also be a part of this team. Could be the missing piece. Of this team. But watching the numbers,

it was almost 15 million people just watching in the States, you guys. That doesn't count Otani. Otani hurt his shoulder here and showed you why it is that uh... guys like that don't generally steel bases because uh... he heard his shoulder but he's supposed to play in game three but this is a moment was excellent just by itself but the call was also perfect listen to this

or test perfect listen to this. I'm with Mike Ryan. All I see is teeth. It's just teeth. Yeah. It's just one of those chattering things that the Joker would throw at you. Just rounding the bases right there. One thing that really made me laugh from this game, and I'm really excited for people that love baseball that say you have to watch this series,

it delivered in extremely profound ways. I got to see one of the game's greatest moments in World Series history. Only the second walk-off Grand Slam I think in World Series history, or the first in World Series history, and the second walk-off Grand Slam in World Series history, or the first in World Series history, and the second postseason history. It's just one of those moments that you always hear about

in your fantasy book. And one of the things that made me really laugh around it was Amin was at that game decked out in his Yankee garb, and he posted the video. He was filming that at bat, and he stopped as soon as he heard the crack of the bat, he knew. You don't actually get to see the ball go into the stands

because he just knew by the sound of the bat and the look of the swing, this one's over. I gotta tell you guys, it's rare where you could say this, but tonight is a baseball night. There's a football game on, and I am glued to the baseball this evening because no one wants to watch giant Steelers Do they baseball gets a sound tonight? Yeah, are we still are we still sticking with that random?

Pedalanzo home run was the greatest home run in baseball history. Have we moved past that yet? I think it was Mets history I don't know. No, no, no, no We were talking about how special it was for baseball history that that no one had ever hit a home run That gave them the lead down by one run in the eighth inning or later on a Wednesday night after 7, 18 p.m. Pacific time while eating Taco Bell or something. I said all of that.

Yeah. The Pete Alonzo home run pales in comparison to this home run. World Series home runs are better than divisional round or playoff home runs that aren't World Series home runs. This home run is not Kirk Gibson's home run though. I'm with you on that one. I'm with you on that one.

Yeah, I'm with you on that one. That one, you got a limp. Yeah. Wait a minute. I mean, well, before- You're gonna remember those teeth. Stugats, Freddie Freeman did admit to being medicated. It's the only reason he's on the field.

Kirk could barely walk. Kirk wasn't. Bone on bone, exactly right. I think one of the things you're gonna be watching for tonight, and as much as I like to see New York suffer, I want them to make this a series. I want this to go six or seven games. I don't want the Dodgers to just run away with this.

But here is what you get to enjoy, Stu Gotz, when New York loses that way. Let's check in with our Knicks correspondent and his friends. Merrill was watching the game as it ended and you can see here New York suffering is exactly what it is that you want to enjoy as they're watching the end of that game and it's just Yankee fans despondent in... are those Barka loungers? What kind of chairs are those? There's a guy behind Mero who's just laughing at him. Lazy boys. It's just horrible. What are those kinds of chairs? Can you those uh... there's a guy behind mero was just laughing at it lazy boys it's just horrible what are those kinds of chairs can you guys help

me i don't know furniture terminology on that let's play the audio here of just sad yankee fans they wanted to be excited there to out stood out you have if you can just get a pop-up if you could just get a fielder's choice you're gonna feel like you get out of there with a split Do we have any audio on that? Let's hear what we've got. Let's go. You say how's not the result? That's it game over Come on, let's do it. We're talking No, no, no

That's the one place why they pitch him there That's the one place. Why'd they pitch him there? Walk off Grand Slam. Why the f***?
