Today's cast: Dan, Amin, Billy, Jeremy, Jessica, Roy, and Tony. Is every closed door a locked door to a dog? Last night was eventful across sports with a Pete Alonso walk-off HR like no other in MLB Postseason history and a tremendous regular season performance from Kirk Cousins and the Falcons. Dan wants to celebrate the never-before-achieved baseball moment, but Amin and the crew aren't all that impressed, and Jeremy is ready to lose his mind.

Plus, there is some local sports news as the Marlins dismissed their entire coaching staff including one of the best pitching coaches in baseball, and Inter Miami won a trophy that no one in the room seems to know or care about.
