The following podcast contains explicit language.

Hi, this is Josh Levine, and this is Slate's Sports Podcast Hang Up and Listen for the week of October 31st, 2016.

On this week's show, we'll talk about the World Series, where the Indians have a three-two lead over the Cubs as the teams head back to Cleveland.

And unless something really weird happens, one of them will break a very long championship drought.

ESPN's Sean Asale will be here to discuss his new book, The Murder of Sunny Liston, which reports out the theory that the heavyweight champion was killed by Vegas mobsters.

And then writer

Jamil Hawaja and player Kevin Caldwell, aka Kevin Hustle, will join us to tell the bizarre,

amazing story of how a team of unknown Americans made it to the Kabati World Cup in India.

Joining me in Washington, D.C. is Stefan Fatsis, the author of the book's Word Freak and A Few Seconds of Panic. Hello, Stefan. Hello, Josh. With us from New York is Mike Peska, the host of Slate's Daily Podcast, The Gist. Hello, Mike. Hello. Let's get right into Whimsie Watch, because we have a lot this week. I have an all-time record for the most people sending me a particular moment of Wednesday.

Six people sent me the dildo on the field at the Bill's Pats game and Buffalo.

The headline on the website Mashable was,

watch an NFL official awkwardly kick a dildo off the football field.

But my question is, how do you kick a dildo non-awkwardly? Yeah, what's the graceful way? Actually, with the dildo, you have to do it, the non-socer style kicking. That's the way to do it. I was going to say, ask a kicker. Ask a kicker. We can kick anything not unawkwardly. That's a good reality show. And like with bit a note, I'll kick that dildo in three steps. I'll kick it in five. I'm surprised there

isn't a video up of a kicker kicking a dildo. If you could only have one kicker in NFL history

kick a dildo for the winning points and whatever game would

require that. Who would it be, Stefan? Would it be Stenarid? It's always Stenorid.

It's venetary, though. I mean, you know, he's shown that he can kick a dildo, I mean,

a football indoors, outdoors, short distance is long with great accuracy because you really want to go

for accuracy. Hmm. I think Mark Mosley would do well with kicking the dildo. Oh, yeah. I don't think that. Yeah, you don't go for distance. You want to go straight on? Yeah. But of course. I can see that. Our old friend, Bjorn Nitmo, with the Dildo.

The Seahawks or Al Greco.

It's got to be Nittmo or Greco.

Del Greco.
