Show Notes
Today's cast: Dan, Stu, Roy, Lucy, Billy, Mike, Jessica. What a weekend, huh? Where do we even start? First, Dan and the crew go to one of the all-time moments in World Series history as Freddie Freeman walked off Game 1 with a grand slam. Then, we get to the Jayden Daniels Hail Mary that won the game for the Washington Commanders.
