Baseball season is over.

I don't want this to be a depressing episode.

If you're a baseball fan and you're listening to this, you're probably thinking, well, shit, we don't have baseball to look forward to.

Nothing in November, December, January, February.

It's basically just like ball scratch and season where they just stand around and stretch for a little while.

Then you got March.

They're gonna wait till April, but you know what?

We're not getting depressed here.

We're not getting sad.

We're talking about the World Series.

I'm your host, Jack Carobus, alongside as always, Dallas Braden and our genius producer, Justin Havens.

This is basically our support group.

This is where baseball fans are going to come throughout the off season because we're not, we're not done.

No, we're wrapping up the World Series here today, but that does not mean that starring nine goes away during the off season.

This is going to be our mini little support group.

The ground screw you can come to us every single Thursday as always to get your baseball fix.

And in my opinion, there's really no better way to get a baseball fix than from Mad Dog Russo.

And we're going to get to that interview in a little bit.

But Dallas, how are you feeling, buddy?

Because I know that you're just as big of a baseball diehard as anybody on planet Earth.
