Transcript of Postgame Show: I F***ed It Up

You're listening to DraftKings Network.

Hi, I'm Ben Stiller from the Academy Awards snub movie, Dodgeball. You know, this election is a lot like dodgeball. Kamala Harris is the average Joe underdog. No, this isn't the time for jokes. You know what? It's way too important. Donald Trump wants to terminate the Constitution. Project 2025 will give him nearly unlimited power. We can't let him get anywhere near the White House. So vote for Kamala Harris. Yeah, see, that was better. The serious version was much better, right?Paid.

For by Harris for President. Dan, I know what you're thinking. What am I thinking? Postgame 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. They went to Indiana this week. I don't know if you know. He used to coach there. Yeah, you guys mentioned moving. He had a double decker bus, put on the sweater.

From Alipada.

Yeah.

Oh, yeah. Really? You guys mentioned all of that.

He was moving. People were crying, dude.

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/smirnoff, and that is where you can compete against us in our weekly fantasy contest. $3 buying. It's presented by Smirnoff, the world's number one vodka. Please drink responsibly. How How did I do? Great question. Last week, I finished in the '40s right out of the money. This week in the '3 '20s, 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. Unfortunately, I wasn't in the money. I know you were wondering who is my quarterback, who is my receiver. We can catch up offline on that one.

I don't want to-Yeah, I'm not interested. What do you mean? I'm not interested at all.

I'm not interested. 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/smeernauff.

You could take their money, but you don't.

I did the first week, but I shared with them. 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 Light. 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 Light, which has been a very good sponsor to this show.

It could be a diehard fan, or it could be a total randos that found us on draftkings. Com/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/pools. You can find it on your DraftKings app. Real easy towards top of your screen, click that Pools. And because this pool closes tomorrow at 9:00 AM, 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, Flanigan's, being able to get the rock and rib rolls, Roy.

Nachos. Flanigan's.

We love Flaneigans, and to be able to do this with a partner like DraftKings and a partner like Miller Light. Miller Light has 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. This is a real cool activation that we got here for tomorrow's Weekend Observation. Make sure you lock your entrance in before 9:00 AM tomorrow.

Who's going to be back? So many options.

That's one of the bets.

I'll tell you offline, Dan.

I'm so worried about you doing something cheating with us.

No one is doing that. I'm teasing.

No one knows.

I'm running your script through compliance.

Don't You're going to ruin it for everybody.

He's a cheater.

He is a cheater. I was trying to tell Dan.

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. Stugatz, 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 un-live 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 Rockets, Red God. I'm good for that. I'm good for that.

Can I go back? Can I go back, please? So it's live?

It's on five.

It's on five.

A bomb bursting, and then...

I got I'm so nervous. Gapereau through the night that our flag was still there. Oh, say does that star swinger? ♪ And I ran away ♪ For the land of the free ♪ In 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 of that happening through- The guy's hair you're talking about, huh?

The Snowmiser?

That's unfortunate.

Oh my God. That was Fergie level, right? I mean, she did rebound nicely.

She did continue, and she- The voice sounded nice. She's got a lovely singing voice.

She's tried the jazzy version towards the end, tried 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 you can't say... You can't be cursing during the end.

I bleep 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 his hair?

He looks like the kid from Texas. Yeah.

Can I go back? Can I go back, please?

So it's live?

It's live.

But I'm busting.

And then, I got too nervous. Gaper roof through the night that our flag was still there.

Oh say does that star wrangle- Lucy is wincing. Lucy continues to wince here.

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, no matter how 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 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 Stugatz was saying, just before we turned the microphones on, that Freddie Freeman is the Dodgers third best player. And he's not wrong. In their prime at their best, O'Tani and Betts are somehow better than Freeman, even though Freeman's a Hall of Famer.

They walked Betts 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.

It could be the missing piece.

But watching the numbers, it was almost 15 million people just watching in the States, Dugas. That doesn't count Ohtani. Ohtani hurt his shoulder here and showed you why it is that guys like that don't generally steal bases because he hurt 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 So perfect. Listen to this.

Corteiz delivers.

Freeman hits the ball to right field. She is gone.

Givy meets Freddie Game 1 of the World Series. I'm with Mike Ryan. All I see is teeth.

It's just teeth. It's just one of those chatter 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 World Series history, and the second postseason history. It's just one of those moments that you always hear about and you fantasy book. 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 the ball go into the sands because he just knew by the sound of the bat and the look of the swing, this one's over.

I got to 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 Giants Stealers, do they?

Baseball gets a sound tonight. Yeah.

Oh, wow. Are we still sticking with that random Pete Alonso 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 think we were talking about baseball history.

No, no, no, no, no. We were talking about how special it was for baseball history, that no one had ever hit a home run that gave them the lead down by one run in the eighth evening or later on a Wednesday night after 7:18 PM Pacific Time while eating taco Bell or something. I said all of that.

The Pete Alonso 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.

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. You got to limp.

Yeah.

Wait a minute. I mean, well, before- You're going to remember those teeth. Steugatz, Freddie Freeman did admit to being medicated. It's the only reason he's on the field.

Kirk could barely walk. Kirk was it. Bone on bone. Exactly right.

I think one of the things you're going to 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, Steugatz, when New York loses that way. Let's check in with our Nick's correspondent and his friends. Mero 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.

It's just Yankee fans despondent. Are those Barker Lounge? What 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 guys help me? I don't know furniture terminology. Let's play the audio here of just sad Yankee fans. They wanted to be excited. They're two-ounce, Dugats. If you can just get a pop-up, if you can just get a fielder's choice, you're going to 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, Hush out the Rizzo? That's it. Game over.

Come on, let's do it.

No.

No. No. The guy in the back.'s.

The one place.

Why they pitch him there?

Walk off Grand Slam.

Why the fuck?
