RUNDOWN

 

“Mandela Effect,” ALERT! Hotshot blows Mitch’s mind by revealing that Ed McMahon, who was widely believed to have worked for Publishers Clearinghouse, actually worked for a competitor, American Family Insurance.

However, the Mariners blow a 5-0 lead, raining on the parade. Mitch’s praises Washington Husky Elijah Jackson, who chased down a kick returner at the one-yard line.
