Going it back? Thursday's the new Friday, the weekend, the Halloween weekend. Vishally begin Hey, it's a quote hub Halloween. Yeah, Halloween, is it won us? It is? It's right here. We got some treats for you in the form of sound effects provided by Iowa Sam by Sammy, Oh yeah, we do all school sound effects. Sam's gotcha. We got Danny g He's our super producer. He runs this show, Mike runs this place. Danny runs the show. Spotty's on the videos at Cobin on Rich, FSR. Dan Byer, the Great is here and thank you for rocking out with us. Let's go. I hope you had a Blue Jays short night. I hope you had a a savage short of night a Davis Schneider leading off the game with a bomb set in the tone while his dad was filming it on his iPhone. Yeah, which was wild. You know, Danny G was kind enough to give me a ride yesterday. My car was at the dealership and we left the studio. I hope you gave him some gas money by the time we got to the car. Did you give him some gas money? Cheapskate? It was on his way. But now I have to because you said that. That's right, because an uber would have cost you at least fifty dollars here in La seventy five or traffic.

00:01:44
Speaker 2: No gas money, Yeah, man, at.

00:01:46
Speaker 1: Least two dollars. Two dollars, at least two dollars because rich O's me money first, so I'm not going to be, you know, giving that away. Where's my two dollars? Where's my dollars? We leave here and the game was just about to start. He puts on the local affiliate five seventy and we're like, wait a minute, how was it already too nothing? It was one of those like all right, Danny, stop the car, let me look on Twitter real quick. Don't you hate that? That is the worst by the way. The worst feeling you miss, like two minutes is already two nothing.

00:02:18
Speaker 2: Seriously, hey, by the way, some Jabroni cut us off as we were trying to get on the Freuay, so we almost.

00:02:22
Speaker 1: Did stop the car and Danny g nailed it. In our pre show meeting, we always say you gotta set the tone, but you automatically immediately put pressure on the Dodgers at home when you start off the game with two home runs back to back bombs. So again, Schneider, who's in for George Springer. It is about stepping up too, right. You know he's stepping up in these big moments. Players need to step up. Some players are stepping down. I'll have Mookie Betts, but he stepped up. Hit a bomb. Flatty juniors up hits a bomb. Now the Dodger's like, oh no, gripping the bats extra tight. And you're seeing it with Freddy Freeman, You're seeing it with Mookie Bats. You've seen it, which means that there's probably less pressure in game six. It's gonna be a game seven, guys, No, there's gonna be a game seven. I could George Foreman guarantee there'll be a game seven, which is the highest form of guarantee. Ah gante, Do you know what? It's just the perfect ending. We'll talk more about this on over promised our bonus show today. But it's been such a great season, we've talked baseball more than ever before that it's only fitting that it comes down to a game seven. By the way, you talked about missing moments and big games, how aggravating you ever had a game. It doesn't even need to be a postseason game, but you picked a minute to go grab a beer or a hot dog, and that's when someone hits a home run. Yeah, did you see? Freddy Freeman's aunt said that she just caught his game winning home run in the eighteenth inning. She was looking for I think it was like late late inning, call off your ice cream or something, And Freddie Freeman's aunt said, I almost missed his whole h that's so crazy, right, all the family's there, everybody's tuned in. I mean we're on the edge of our seat. Magine, if you're related to these players, that's a whole other thing. And Rich already pointed it out. David Schneider, he's that weenie with the mustache who's in for Springer, real scrappy guy. Again, it's about the key players to step up, and he's one of those dudes. One of the most heart touching, heartwarming, heart tugging moments was that your favorite Jesse Christina Aguilere song what Weenie with a Mustache? No, oh, that's Genie in a bottle Weenie, He's a weenie with a mustache. Or the song I sing about you weenie with a model Have you ever seen Rich's wife? He's a weenie with a model baby. But one of the most heartwarming moments is Schneider's dad. You would think he had better seats, but he's sitting there filming the moment on his cell phone and he's watching his son hit a World Series home run and high five and everybody it is the night. It honestly makes you want to shed one a little bit. Well, we have thoughts not only about baseball, football, NBA, Halloween, just a lot of fun today. So we appreciate you hanging with us. I do a question based on what you just said. Sure, surprise, he didn't have better seats. He had pretty decent seats. There's only so many people, only so many seats. Celebrities are out and about. But here's my question. If you find yourself sitting next to Schneider's dad and you're a Dodgers fan, how does that change the way you root? I think you as a human, right, well, that's what I am. Yeah, Well, unless you're some sort of cave person with the heart's running for this guy's son to do well in that moment, if you're getting to know him and you know you're like, man, that's your son, no way, and you have this human man to man moment with the guy, you're not going to root against him if you have a loser would do that? If you have a true kind moment with Schneider's dad, right, like, hey, what's your name? Ball ball? Hey Bob, good to me you Bob Schneider. Yeah, I'm a big Dodgers guy. How are you a Blue Jays fan?

00:06:08
Speaker 3: Man?

00:06:09
Speaker 1: Eh, my son, your son is David Schneyder. I think you almost need to root for your team. But also in that moment, be like, I'm going to root for your kid just not to get any big hits. Like ah, right, you first kid to hit a single or or something too late? Your kid hit a home run? You sucky home run? I don't know, even feelings might change a little bit, and that's what set the tone. And you know what, the Dodgers lost. They let that game get away from him. Look, no one was hitting you, Savage anyway. Twelve strikeouts, insane year, insane story. We can't harp on that enough. But you also can't look at Snell and say he pitched bad because he got in his zone after that, and you got to give him credit for it. Again, it's the Dodgers basket didn't step up. Snell calm down, has nothing to show for it in this postseason or in this World Series. But he didn't pitch bad at all after that. No, you got to give him support. Yeah, you gotta gim run supports, so it props to him. I do wonder when you see some of these postseason heroes like you, Savage, young dude, as we said, young family kid too. Another great story, you Savage, as we pointed out, I believe he started the year in Little League, then he played pony Ball, then he played Babe Ruth that's exactly Connie Mack, and then I think he played in the Mexican League. He went to the dr I think he went to now he's pitching the World Series. What is the expectation of this kid next year, Like, would you be shocked if he becomes top tier? Yeah?

00:07:37
Speaker 4: Or the.

00:07:39
Speaker 1: Start of a superstar or is he just having a superstar moment? Like, of course, I'm going to tie to my mets because that's what I know best. Remember at the end of the year, they brought up that kid McClean and he was untouchable, And you're like, yo, if he had a full season, he'd be like to say, young, that was a month and a half sample size. Is he lightning in a bottle? Or is this the start of a of an amazing career? You say, like, wow, blue Jays winning or not? Next year they have another ace. No matter what, he's a World Series hero for the rest of his life. So not a bad way to start off your career. But can he keep that going in the years to come? Or is this just the moment that we all get to witness. So props to him, Hey, props to the Blue Jays and the Dodgers. It's been an exciting World Series. And tonight you get to focus on some football Thursday Night football, and then back at it again tomorrow for Game six one, and then after six is what six, which, by the way, according to dictionary dot com, this is embarrassing became the twenty twenty five ward of the Year. I'm like, it's not even a word six seven, So you got a game six tomorrow and I have one final thought about that. But I heard someone say something interesting and I totally always feel this way. I call it hyper the one man to be theory. Oh, I'll give credit where it's due. When I was trying to get with my wife, our one mutual friend, this woman Ali, Ali said, Yeah, Sarah's dating some dude, but he sucks. And I go, oh, she's dating someone, and she goes, no, no, that's a good thing. Can we just tell a quick backstory? His wife, Sarah is from Texas, and I've seen America's Sweethearts on Netflix. A lot of these Dallas cowboy cheerleaders have weak taste. They're like super hot women with the goofiest guys, what are you saying? No, no, no, it has nothing to do with you. I'm just saying, whoever, whoever she was with at the time, I don't know. I'm trying to decide how no no, no, no, no, no no, No, has nothing to do with you mixus girls with goofy taste. No, I'm getting this. You're you're great, You're great. This has nothing to do with you. I'm saying whoever she was with, I've seen the show. I see where they go. So her friend and our mutual our one mutual friend. Ali said, that's good because a s girl, you're competing against every other guy. When a girl you meet is dating one terrible dude, you just need to beat him. The one man to beat theories. Easier to beat the one man than a bunch of people. It's easy, especially social media, easier to outshine one guy that's failing than everyone. And but you're meddling. Then I would say, I'm a married with two beautiful children. Yeah, you won, meddle away, I won, you did. Yeah. Now I say that because I saw someone say, like, if you're the Yankees and your division rival is a game away from winning the World Series, you have to now design your team to beat the Blue Jays. And when you see how fundamentally sound and how they foul off balls, they work counts, they play small ball, you now have to figure out, well what the Yankees are doing in the next couple of years, if things stay the same, they're not going to get past that team. It's not even that they play small ball. They're playing baseball. And that's why as much as I dislike them, I love the way they're playing the game. It's not about just swinging for the fence at all time. In fact, your Dodgers are starting to look like the Yankees, where they're relying too much on the home run and they're pressing a little too And Danny, this applies not just to baseball. You don't think there's an AFC equation every year where coordinators get together and they're like, all right, how do we beat the Chiefs? That's that's totally the thinking, like, all right, that's great in our division, that's great, But if we really want to ever go somewhere, how do we beat THEA like you're trying? Though, again, this stems from relationship thinking. The one man to beat theory does translate in sports as the one team to beat theory. Well, if they're the team, how do we beat them? And you draft players and you get players to combat their main players, and that's how you play the game. And on the flippity dip, which would be the proper terminology, the flippity dip of that, whether the Dodgers come back or not, which I'm a believer that they do believe or not. Danny, you would love to hear that. I think they're gonna win the game seven, as long as you're not in a t chinx them, Like, maybe I shouldn't get my son his mooie bets Jersey. Maybe I'm the problem. So I feel like, if you're a National League fan, even if the Dodgers fall short, you have to then look at what the Blue Jays are doing and say, how do we build our National League team to get past them? Because that's really the goal. By the way, how did you end up beating this guy? You can't like leave us with a cliffhanger. He was a jealous He was a jealous type. Yeah, he was like a loud type of like like seem like a mean guy. So I'm like, I'm calm, lovable, I'm not jealous them. You're calm, eazy, breezy guys, calmed than you. So you send flowers to their house calmed than you? Right, know what I actually did when I first dated my wife. This is this shows how long ago. It is, you know, Instagram and TikTok or on a thing. So I had to find her home address, and I thought I found her home address, and I found her dad's addressed by mistake. So I sent flowers and all these goodies, and her Dad's like, who's this shock jock trying to bang my daughter? Hey, his name is rich Davis, and he won her heart. Yes, and I want her one man to beat theory. So what do you do moving forward to beat a team that's well rounded like the Blue Jays. That is the question that every team is going to examine the same way NFL has examined, how do we beat the Chiefs. I'm sure for years NBA teams trying to figure out, like how he contained a team with the Splash brothers at the time, Like when Clay and Steph were just beating everyone with the three pointer, Like that's what they're doing when they watch film and they're on the drawing board and they're trying to figure it out. When it goes beyond the drawing board in the locker room, it goes into the drafting process, free agency, like what do we need to do? What's a missing piece? It's hard to beat a player or a team that never gives up. And when you got to battle against a team like the Blue Jays who just swing and put the ball in play and make contact, it's very tough. What's the always goes back again? We're talking baseball. It's simple game, right, Well it's not, but it is, they always say, and they say it because it's true. They meaning us. Good pitching always stops good hitting. You saw it yesterday, you Savage twelve strikeouts. He struck out everybody in the Dodgers lineup, everybody. That's a performance. So you need those dominant aces if you want to compete. Is it an ace? Is it in football? Saying it's always gonna help? Dude, you need a guy who could pitch like a Savage all the time. Dann Buyery know comes to mind from me as a as a Niners guy. The Niners couldn't get past the Cowboys and like, we need one big, flashy defender, a guy that's going to be a game changer. They get prime time Deon Sanders and that was what helped get them over the hump.

00:14:47
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then Dallas is like, we need one guy to beat the forty nine ers, so we'll take Dan from him and then the next.

00:14:52
Speaker 1: Year then they think so true.

00:14:55
Speaker 3: I think it's easier in football though that then and honestly in the NBA.

00:15:00
Speaker 1: NBA always looking for that big guy to compete with the other big guy.

00:15:03
Speaker 3: Yeah, like in baseball, I get what you're saying in developing guys, but if and guys do make it to the big leagues a lot quicker than they did previously. But still I think that the way you do that is via free agency in trades. Yeah, so I think in those like, if you're looking to match Toronto in that way, that's probably how you do it. Because plus, I mean, some of these young kids are just it's an absolute crap shoot, you know, aside from the surefire first round picks, and even though those are sometimes.

00:15:31
Speaker 1: But look at the NBA, right, and this is way premature, like Cavino's reputation. If you look at Wemby, if he develops into what we all in the studio feel like could could be over the next couple of years, there'll be a total mission to like, all right, what's this, what's the equation to stop him? Another seven to five giant? Yeah? Still, yeah, to go find the next George Mirasan with some the actual abilities. There is no way to stop that guy right now.

00:16:05
Speaker 3: Trey Ya Savage isn't Wemby. So if you're the Spurs, or if you're a team competing against the Spurs, you're like, how do we stop the other four guys? It's kind of what some people do with the Nuggets. Honestly, they're like, let Jokic score for his fifty points and ten rebounds, but as long as he doesn't have fifteen assists, we should be not we should be good, but then we have a chance.

00:16:26
Speaker 1: Well I agree with them by one hundred percent. And I had one last final thought on the World Series Game six tomorrow, and then we're gonna get into some NFL. We'll go old school to Thursday, having a lot of fun. I'm sure it's dawned on some people, but we live out here in LA. You know, I'm a New York sports fan, but I live out here in LA and I realize that tomorrow's Halloween. What are the primo hours of tricker treating for a kid? Usually what a little kid's bedtimes like eight o'clock, maybe maybe nine o'clock on a Halloween night, late afternoon, early evening, five to eight. Oh you mean our window of World Series Game six?

00:17:02
Speaker 4: Damn it?

00:17:02
Speaker 1: How many moms and dads are gonna be walking around carrying their little you know, pushing their little wagon, making sure their kids say hey, you say thank you, thank you, waving to the neighbor. A bunch of dads looking at their phone the whole time with one AirPod in say thank you, holding up their phone. You're gonna I can't wait to see this scene tomorrow because it's gonna be hilarious because I'll be doing the same. But look around anywhere, but especially in La or on the West coast, people are gonna be checking out the game during the exact timeframe. Kids will be trigger treating.

00:17:36
Speaker 2: Exactly gonna happen. And this stinks. This is the first year I'm gonna take CoA. Me and Brenda are gonna take CoA out to trick or treat. He's lightning McQueen. So I was thinking, Aha, I know, I'll use my iPad as his car play because he's a car.

00:17:51
Speaker 1: Or or just tell me he's lightning McQueen. We're gonna do this really quick, go to two houses ago. But you know what Danny G's what's interesting is you might think, Ah, if you don't have kids or little kids, no problem. If you're sitting at home watching the game every five minutes, your you'res zoned in trigger treat, son of a you might there's gonna be a lot of people with take one signs outside their house because, honestly, if you're sitting on the couch cocktail in hand, watching the Dodgers tomorrow, watching the Blue Jay smart, do you think you want to be interrupted every two minutes or a trigger treat? It's gonna happen because kids are back out again. There's been there was a lull a few years where you're like, where did all the kids go? Now seems like they're back at it again. Deny G. You know you could do too. You know, when you go up to the people's houses with your kid, you can just look into their see you into their living room and see if you can get the score, and just peer into the TV.

00:18:47
Speaker 2: I was gonna mention some of the cool houses in the past have had TVs out on the rollers, like what Rich set up with a sporting event on so people can still see what's going on.

00:18:57
Speaker 1: Consider it a warning, I guess, or a reminder to be prepared because you don't want to miss anything tomorrow. If you're trick or treating, you're living the dead life. Well, anyone in the Pacific times on. I know most of our affiliates are in the East, so you're a little safer. But there'll be a lot of World Series overlap, and it happens every year. I remember, you know, I didn't have kids yet, but I went to the World Series in twenty fifteen on Halloween night. It happens. You know, the world doesn't stop for kids to dress up and get candy, but it should be a fun night tomorrow, Dan Bayer, your kid doing a little trick or treating tomorrow?

00:19:32
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, I'm not sure what the plan is exactly, but.

00:19:36
Speaker 1: Did you do trunk or treat at your school? That's my new favorite thing.

00:19:39
Speaker 3: There is a carnival at the school tomorrow morning, so I will be there tomorrow morning. There's a trunk or treat tonight, and then we'll do something on Friday. I don't know if your guys neighborhoods have this, but I know in a lot of places around the country it's probably getting cold but we have people who sit out in their driveways with tables and yeah, it's there. Hang so there will be people with TVs and the Dodger gabled.

00:20:00
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then you know there's there's houses that hand out adult beverages. Yes, they're like, hey, trick or treat kids, and they'll off of the parents like, hey, you want a beer? You want to want a glass of wine? Like it's a thing. Though, it's uh, it's gonna be a fun night. But trunk or treat might be the one thing. It's uh, it just adds for more excitement, honestly, But you and I Trunker treats the one thing. Covino and I both agree as parents, we totally change our mind on I remember when I first heard the phrase trunk or treat. I'm like, hall Way, what happened to trick or treating? The whatssification of America? I remember being what's going on? And then you go to your kids school they have like a DJ and all the cars are decorated and all the kids are getting candy and they're happy with their pals, and you're like, yeah, this is way cooler. So and I get to chill. I don't have to walk around the neighborhood. Oh yeah, because it's in tandem with yeah, trick or treat. It's not one or the other. You could still do both. All right, So tomorrow an exciting night of Halloween and game six tonight Thursday Night Football. We'll keep you posted on that. We got lots to get to today and a half hound or old school and fifty hits. We throw it back in reminisces. We do that every Thursday, and we get you involved. The numbers eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox we got more. Covino and Rich on Fox Sports Radio. Yeah, Covino and Rich on Fox Sports Radio. You want to come back in another life as a hot check one day? You ever think about what that life might be like. Have you seen Sidney Sweeney in the past twenty four hours? My goodness, Jesus, if you haven't seen those pictures, she's breaking the internet. Covino and Rich, Iowa Sam playing some old school white stripes. He's on the ones and twos. Danny g is super producing. And of course we got a live chat going chime in live because we're streaming live on YouTube. Covino and Rich FSSR. And if you miss any of today's show, any show ever. Make sure to get our podcast too. You can listen, you could watch. Thanks for being part of it. Rate it five stars because anything less is uncivilized. Covino and Rich wherever you stream your podcast, and I bring up the whole Do you want to come back as a hot check not as just a random hypothetical Livvy Done likely the future misses, Paul Skemes, Power, Paul Skans than Livy Done, because I get to reap the benefits of a Livy Done and pitching the big leaks. That is true. Can I just come back as him but better looking, looks way better with the beard. No more it helps you. So I bring it up because you remember Livy Done. The only criticism ever of the super hot lsur gymnast was she's cheering on skiings, lifts her arms and she had gross pit stains. Do you remember this moment? I was saying, do you remember the Livy Done pittstain moment? Yes? And nothing she could do could gross me out. So you know, I was sayings like could I buy that? True? No, i't that far. So she now the one little quote blemish. She's a human being, but the one little like we'll get her sweating through her shirt on pitstains. She now landed apparently some big deal with Secret Deodor, and then she's a new face of the company. Wow. So like when you're a hot turning dilemmas into dileminating, when you're a hot, talented woman that looks like she does and your business savvy, you take that little dilemma and as you said, turn it into dilemonade. There you go, look of that. So congrats the Livy done. The new face of Secret Deodor, all right? And you know it's like Jalen Brown, he needs to be the new spokesman for some type of hair product. You know, I wouldn't be surprised if there was some new product some like a like a hair paint or productople might not know that his actual hair rubbed off on a Knicks jersey, right, We talked about that on our midweek major yesterday. That's right. Yeah. So if he's losing his hair and he's trying to fix it, yeah, there's a deal in play. I'm sure. I don't think there's some male hair care products like a thickener, like a thickener or some type of like top like a Topics as a brand, but like you know, when you go down the hair aisle, there's hair products specifically for African American men. You don't think I'm sure Jaylen Brown hair product. I think Brown is going to be the guy that's like Jaylen Brown here for Blake, make a couple more million as if he needs it.

00:24:21
Speaker 2: Boy, he's got the kind of money where I would just tell my agent get a hold of UCLA. I want to be one of the first to try out that serum.

00:24:29
Speaker 1: Hey, if we're giving props the hair the hair growth serum, that's the saying could be true. Yeah, I've seen that. Yeah, they're saying it could end baldness. I want to give props to well a few people. You know, we keep talking about Wimbin Yama, but it's a really growing story. I haven't saw Kendrick Perkins saying that years from now the conversation. It could be five years from now, it could be two years from now, who knows, but it's gonna be who's to go Lebron Jordan and for a younger generation, Wemby like he's going to be added to that conversation. That's the type of year he's having and the potential he's showing this year again grew two inches and just playing way more dominant than they talk about when he's told the Sydney sweety picture, No, no, oh heightwise, I'm heightwise. And then I want to give props to again because we're so caught up in World Series and Thursday Night football and everything else. Yeah, we've been talking about how hey, NBA's popping too, but I don't think we've mentioned once how in the zone Austin Reeves has been playing out of his mind. I almost feel like his dominance is poorly time for him, like you right, too many points in the past.

00:25:36
Speaker 2: Two games, record one of the record.

00:25:40
Speaker 1: I'm sure it's come up, but still the way he's playing and again the game winner, it's like he had a bad night. He had twenty eight points yesterday and again getting more opportunity because there's no Luca, no Lebron. So he's the guy who's stepping up. But he's stepping up in such a big way. Rich that he's showing that. You know, even Reddick was saying that he's not just good. We always knew he was bad, but like he's really bad, Like he's a good he's a bad Yeah, he's a bad man. We always knew he was a good player, but he's like really showing that he's a superstar that could lead a team. Dude with twenty eight points yesterday, still has the game winning shots. So again, playing like a beast. But it's going under the radar because we're talking so much World Series and everything else. If this was happening any other times, if this is happening after like the football season ended and that you know that dead time where it's really just like NBA or hockey, this would be our lead coming out of the show, like Austin Reeves, because he's in US zone. That's a great place to be when everything's just dropping, everything's going your way. Got to embrace those moments. He's living it right now. So just want to make that point in case you come here for the you know, the basic updates, if you're missing that storyline. It's fun to see. I need Reeves to rub the top of Bett's head. Yeah, exactly, he needs some of that. Need some of that. I mean, I think when he has the ability to play like that, if that Laker team does click, is he playing like that? Because he has an opportunity that he won't have when that team is fully healthy. It's almost like if if fully healthy and out there in the court long term, like Lebron just got back into action, did those points now just be are they taken away from usin Reeves? And like redistributed.

00:27:19
Speaker 2: Oh, there was a popular sports website this morning throwing out there that the Lakers should consider trading Reeves and of course in the comments, everybody was furious and you can't do that right now.

00:27:29
Speaker 1: But the stock second again, that's what they were saying. Yeah, No, he's playing big man and that's what you want. You want your guys to step up. But you know he's getting that opportunity to show what he could really do. Well, we're going to talk some Halloween. We're gonna go into our crystal Ball talk some NFL as we enter week nine. But let's go to Dan Byer for an update. dB, who knows me.

00:27:51
Speaker 3: I was just gonna say, maybe it'll spur some Lebron trade talks. That's always fun, right, Yes, that's what he's gonna say.

00:27:58
Speaker 2: Yeah, Denny, I think Laker fans would be more in favor of that than Raves for sure, I.

00:28:04
Speaker 1: Know what appreciates lebron Hey, Dan Buyer as I know you have a million things in your update as a Niners fan. Any party news, what's what's doing? Is there any real update on the I don't.

00:28:12
Speaker 3: Have anything on on today. Yeah, so I think I said yesterday he was limited in practice. I believe that was the report. All the days are blending together, but I don't have anything today. If mac Jones gets me next hour.

00:28:24
Speaker 1: If mac Jones stunk, do you think that party would have tried to push it? But since mac Jones is a pretty suitable backup, they're taking their time more. Uh.

00:28:33
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a tough question. I think because they're five and three, they can take their time.

00:28:39
Speaker 1: Yeah. And you were talking yesterday about how the NFC seems like it's sort of set.

00:28:44
Speaker 3: I think so. I don't know about how you look at it. But there's other quarterback news outside of brock party. Lamar Jackson's back. He's starting tonight for the Ravens against the Dolphins eight fifteen Eastern Time to start Week nine. He returns from that hamstring strain as he's been out injuring it in Week four against Kansas City. One note from the Chiefs.

Bengals quarterback Joe Flacco limited in practice today. He's got that shoulder issue that could cost him the game against the Bears on Sunday. Cardinals quarterback Kylo Murray on track to start against the Cowboys. He's set to return from a foot injury that cost him two games. That's a Monday night affair in Arlington.

Nebraska is given at football coach Matt Rule it to year extension that will now run through the twenty thirty two season.

Seven point two million viewers in Canada watched last night's Game five of the World Series on Sportsnet there it ends up being the most watched Toronto Blue Jay game ever in that country. Nationals have hired thirty three year old Blake Petera is their new skipper, the youngest manager in the big leagues in more than fifty years. He spent the last four seasons managing for the Rays in their minor league system. And we started with the Lakers, let's end with them. The Board of Governors unanimously approved the ten billion dollar sale of the team today from the Bus family to Mark Walter. Guys, back to you.

00:30:23
Speaker 1: How young is the manager? Thirty three? Damn thirty three? Yeah, that's that's yeah. I mean the youngest before there was like a young nineteen no, nineteen seventy two.

00:30:36
Speaker 3: The Minnesota Twins hired a manager prior to that, way back when nineteen fourteen, eighteen ninety five. He had some twenty year olds, but it was nineteen seventy two. Frank Kalchi, I believe it could be pronounced Kulisi, was the manager of the Minnesota Twins at thirty three years of age.

00:30:55
Speaker 1: I thought it was when the Twins didn't the owner die and he left the team to his grand kid, and he ran, Wasn't that the answer?

00:31:02
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, that would have been the right answer, much better than my gibberish that I told you.

00:31:07
Speaker 1: Hey, dam Viral, let me ask you something because in a little while we're gonna go over We're gonna look into our Halloween crystal ball as we enter Week nine in the NFL, because there's a lot of telling matchups this week, and I think you're gonna start to see teams pull away and teams fall back. This is around the time of the year where it's like we're gonna find out who's for real. The Broncos are are underdogs against the Texans. I know Patrick Sartan is out, Mims I believe is out as well. They the Broncos are a little banged up. But why the sense is the sentiment that the Texans are like about to get hot and they they beat the Niners last week. They look good. But are the Broncos. Is there a reason you think they're dogs in this game?

00:31:46
Speaker 3: I think because you have two teams that their strength is defense. The Texans defense is really really good, and they're really really good at home, and you saw it last week with the offense playing in concert with the defense. Houston had ball control and we're able to stay on the field. I think that's why you have it with Houston getting the slide edge at home. Nowadays, it's not used to be three points for the home team. It's not usually about a point half of two points. Texans playing a bit better, so I think that's the reason why. But it does stick out a little. I agree with that because I.

00:32:21
Speaker 1: Was going over my picks for the week, and I'm like, I respect the Texans after what they did to the Niners last week. But the Broncos. Remember in the beginning of the week, we talked about the Horsey teams, the Broncos and the Colts. Yeah, right, Broncos to be a dog at six and two underdog. I know it's on the road, and Texans did seem to have a pretty cool home field advantage last week. But we'll go over all those games next, the telling games, and we go old school Cavino and it involves Halloween and candy and a couple other fun little layers. All right, do that next? Right here? Hang tight, Fox Sports Radio, Cavino and Rich Let's go tonight Mischief Night. We called it mischief night. Growing up, Halloween Eve, go out and cast some mischief. Now smash some pumpkins like Billy Corgan never did anything the night before Halloween where I grew up, it was on Halloween. Kids are up to tonight again depending on where you are, Devil's Night, Cabbage Night was another name. The freaks come out at night. But I guess you know it's regional. You did it on you caused your mischief on Halloween, as we did that too as a grown up in a homeowner. Now, I'm glad that stuff's over. I'm glad kids don't do that. It's over. But I don't want to be buying eggs today. I don't want eggs and shaving cream on my front lawn. I hope you get t peed tonight, but it's time TP on your bunghole. Is time for our ti Iraq play of the day. It was all Blue Jays from the takeoffell in the wers the first pitch of Game five of the World Series.

00:34:11

Got to do it. Now, let's go, there's a suit. Yeah. What we gonna do is go back back into time.

00:35:07
Speaker 4: Throwing it back for a Thursday. Old School went fifty. That's fifty after cn R give you the time capsule topic and we reminisce together.

00:35:17
Speaker 1: Yeah. So it's October thirtieth. We already said the freaks come out at night, especially tonight. I grew up in Union, New Jersey, Union, New Jersey. Tonight would be mischief night. You said it rich egg and houses. I's going out closing some rugs. I'm not saying I was a goodie goodie. Yeah, I did all that, but we just did it to each other. We never honestly messed with someone's house. Like dude, we were throwing eggs at our buddies or shaving cream. You would burn the little tip of it. As an eighties kid, you'd be scared of the burnout kids because they'd steal your candy, or they beat you up on this night. If the older kids caught you out on your night, you'd have to run. You just unlocked the memory. I think you unlocked them Emory. For a lot of people, you were at that borderline age of like, you're not quite a teenager, but you're out on your own. It's scared. You'll be scared if you saw a group of like teen park, just give you a weggie. You saw a group of teenagers walking down your block, you'd be like, you know, I'm getting out of here, Danny, did you do that on the West coast? Was like shaving cream and eggs and all that time. Well again, October thirtieth is also Get this? Is this new? Is this always the day? Get this? Not only Devil's Night or whatever? Halloween Eve? But it's National Candy Corn Day. I did not know that Candy corn Day. And can's so much heat around this time of year. But the episode on corn, huh, candy corn. It's candy corn, candy corn horn from the candy corn lobby. They just trying to want you to get They want you to buy more candy corn. I love me some cavy corn. We have a theory about it. But I do want to say, you talk about the eggs and the shaving cream on Mischief Night? Do you ever want to sit on your own porch with a carton of eggs and you be the you be the aggressor, like you see some bad kids in your neighborhood and you throw some one hundred and two mile on hour heat like you're a Henriquez out of the bullpen. You're the pelter whaw. Like I feel like that's what I want to do, Uncle Rico. Now, candy corn there's a theory here on Covino. On Rich, there's not a household in the United States or Canada. What's up Toronto A There's not a household that's not slightly divided on their feelings on candy corn. Well, it seems like the world's divided on social media because for everybody that loves it, there's a meme or someone complaining about how they hate it. I love candy co What is the flavor of candy corn? My wife hates it, my daughter loves it, I love my son hates it. I love it. Are we a show divided? Hey? I hold that thought. Are we a show divided? But Rich, your theory is there's not a house that's not divided. There's not a house that's unanimous on their love or hate of candy corn. I put my family through the test. I went to my family chat and I was like, are we a family divided? And you're absolutely right because my brother immediately is like, I hate candy corn?

00:38:07
Speaker 4: You garbage?

00:38:07
Speaker 1: Candy corns garbage?

00:38:09
Speaker 4: You?

00:38:11
Speaker 1: I hate it?

00:38:11
Speaker 2: Sugar corn, syrup, honey, artificial flavor? What is the flate? Like, what's the taste? It's the sweet honey sugar.

00:38:19
Speaker 1: I feel as though you're insinuating you're not team candy Corn. I am not prove the point. There's not a show, not a family damn buyer. Yeah your nay on the candy corn double thumbs if you're one of those, I'm on the fence about it. We say this every year, and it is a game changer. If you mix your little bowl of candy corn and you throw some peanuts in there, it tastes no joke, it's exactly it's but it's exactly like a paid day.

00:38:56
Speaker 4: It does.

00:38:57
Speaker 1: I can pay, so you can enjoy that. But here's the question, Fox Sports Radio Nation. What's the candy that your parents always stole from you and your bag when you were a kid, Remember the eighties, kids, your parents would always say, let me check for razor blades and let me make sure it's so, what's the candy they stole? And part two of this question is is there an old guy candy you like? Because I have a number one answer on the board, So we'll get to all that celebrating a little Halloween right here. SNA
