00:00:53
Speaker 1: That's a good one.

Hope all your teams are winning. We have lots to get to today. This is the stuff we can't fit into our regular show, like Rich's Picks. We're gonna get to that get you fired up for We got to talk about trending Halloween costumes because this weekend you might make that trip to City Field, I mean Spirit Halloween. I mean and who's asked this week? Who's playing like ass who might be asked? We'll let you know.

00:01:33
Speaker 1: But we're kicking it off with the Battle of the old guys. I used to be a lot stronger.

00:01:39
Speaker 2: Old guys are going at it today. Two dudes over forty. You got Aaron Rodgers, Joey Flacco, two guys who won Super Bowls, two guys who've seen better days, but two guys who clearly still have game, So props to them and inspiration.

00:01:57
Speaker 1: Yeah, two men over forty. It's just can't be a first. But two guys over forty battling it out on Thursday night football. Gotta love it. In fact, you gotta love the story of Aaron Rodgers. Everyone's like, look at this ayahuasca weirdo. He's gonna wither away in Pittsburgh Now. The guy is sitting pretty a top of the AFC North with no one even close.

00:02:17
Speaker 2: Well, let's take some accountability. Yeah, even we thought he was done French here.

00:02:24
Speaker 1: I remember. My whole take was Aaron Rodgers may surprise you.

00:02:28
Speaker 2: You think though, when he was on the Jets, you had his back and you thought he still had game.

00:02:34
Speaker 1: No, but I but I thought that with Pittsburgh and that coaching staff and that legacy of the Steelers, that you know, maybe you got a little juice left, you know, No.

00:02:44
Speaker 2: You know what, not that I'm rooting against the old guy. I got a root for the old guy. I admit I didn't think he had anything. So he proved us wrong. And props to him. You got the four and one Steelers going against the Browns.

00:02:59
Speaker 1: Because Joe Flacco has been on twenty different teams the Bengals. The Bengals are two and four and guess what place there in second. So unless some crazy shit happens, Unless some crazy shit happens after tonight, I don't know if this happened in NFL history in a long time. The Steelers would be four games up in their division this early in the season, meaning it would take a monumental collapse for the Steelers not to win their division. Everyone in that division would have five losses and the Steelers would be five and one. So Aaron Rodgers could give everyone a big kick in the nuts tonight if they win, and that would be cool.

00:03:37
Speaker 2: I don't know who I'm rooting for, though, come on, I like both guys, Steelers. You got Aaron Rodgers at forty one, Joey Flacco at forty and it got us thinking, Yeah, you gotta tune in, you gotta watch Battle the Old Steelers Bengals, Battle of the old guys for your Thursday night football, and got us debating on what are the worst things about hitting your forties that aren't death related and sort of health related.

00:04:03
Speaker 1: I actually wrote down no death or sad shit right number one. I think it's a struggle I have every couple weeks every month when I start getting more graves in the stubble with the sideburns. Do you become mister Gray? No play for mister Gray. Do you do a little just for men or do you roll with the grace?

00:04:21
Speaker 2: Your beard is weird, dude, I've been a spokesman since my twenties. You gotta dye that shit if you're a young man still, especially if you're in the NFL because it's a young man's game.

00:04:33
Speaker 1: Yeah. I always think that, especially if you got black friends that are like thirty forty with gray beards. It's like, dude, you are so young in life, you have it easier. Black guys could just die it. Black white guys have to match the color. It's a little tricky or it sucks.

00:04:48
Speaker 2: So it's a matter of not knowing what to do with the grace. But I'm here to tell you that there's no shame in dying it. In fact, I'm the guy in the box just for Vatos. Man, get it now while it's hot.

00:05:00
Speaker 1: Brown black people don't realize that if Covino didn't do some touch ups here and there, he would look like Caesar Milan the dog whisper.

00:05:06
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you'd look like Leslie Nielsen, you like Phil Donnau.

00:05:10
Speaker 1: So yeah, not knowing what to do with the grays.

00:05:13
Speaker 2: A great indicator on your age, aside from your haircut and your grays, is your cut of jeans. And when you're in your forties, you're like, man, do I want to like do what the young guys are doing? Like, you don't know what to do with the cut of your jeans what to buy?

00:05:29
Speaker 1: This is Oh but this is a great question. Fuck you spot No, it really is the worst things about being in your forties again, other than real shit, is not knowing what maybe jeans to wear? Because do you like right now, bagg your jeans are coming back for kids? Are you gonna start rocking big baggy pants like wag your fit?

00:05:49
Speaker 2: There's a compromise, right, so I'm not wearing ballerina jeans anymore. You're not wearing your skinny jeans still, are you? Are you wearing carpenter jeans? Are you bomb villa? You don't know what to do, so you got to find a compromise. That's what I do.

00:06:02
Speaker 1: An old guy reference. How about property bros? Here you go?

00:06:04
Speaker 2: How about uh chip and Johnny Gaines five fives? Regular fit? Thank you, thank you? And look for the Halloween season?

00:06:13
Speaker 1: There you go? And how about we said nothing healthy? Lated? But what about sports injuries? Like at the gym? If you're trying to maintain, you do gotta take it. Yeah, you know what I call me? Lame? Call me? Uh thanks bout hey? Lame? Isn't that your middle name? Yeah? What's up? Blame? I stopped doing mostly free weights, and I'm doing more machines because I have too many friends that hit forty and all of a sudden, it's like, dude, I tore my peck or I gotta tear in my bicepter, my rotator cuff. I'm taking it way easier at the gym as far as like risky stuff, like I'm not hopping on the bench press like bro spot me. I'm gonna try to max out. I feel like those days are done for me, especially if you play pick up basketball, rex softball, and if you try to stay active, you don't need injuries.

00:07:02
Speaker 2: So mean ask you us as a softball guru. Are you motoring down the line to run out a number?

00:07:08
Speaker 1: But you know what I need to do now that I usually don't do a lot of stretching because I see so many guys come winter months. You know, guys that are late thirties, forties, fifties, all a sudden, ah, hamstring, lower back, something some shit goes wrong.

00:07:19
Speaker 3: By the way, is it true when you do turn forty that all your pains glow red? Yes, like an asprom commercial. Yeah yeah, and your field go into flames. That's why you need tough act and connecting.

00:07:29
Speaker 2: But seriously, sports injuries because it's no longer really about the gains. I mean it could be, but for the most part, you're just trying to maintain and you're not trying to get hurt while exercising.

00:07:41
Speaker 1: Right, how about this?

00:07:43
Speaker 2: You notice this on social media or if you have some sort of reunion or get together, you're on Facebook, or you're at the bar, But mostly on social media, you go to your friend's page, or you see a photo poster, you're like, damn, my friends are getting really old. My friend, who's that old guy?

00:08:00
Speaker 1: That's the guy I graduated with.

00:08:01
Speaker 2: Who's that seahk oh, my god, that's a girl you liked in heids, was the prom queen exactly. And if you don't know what we're talking about, then you're that guy. If this doesn't apply to you, then you're the old guy we're talking about. Yeah, you're the guy that looks that way. So again, these are the worst things about hitting your forties.

00:08:20
Speaker 1: These the girls from your high school class exactly.

00:08:23
Speaker 2: Oh man, But then you start to realize, well, I guess that's a direct reflection of where I'm at. So again, because it's the battle of the old guys Steelers bangles tonight.

00:08:35
Speaker 1: What else do you want to add to them? I have one more? These are these are things that you definitely see once you hit forty ish. Guys that used to be your heroes in sports are now they're definitely retired. Now you're seeing them pop up as like old coaches, and you're like, you're my hero. I always think of Dom Matticly, who is your childhood hero? You know, the hit Man? He looks like a week ass Santa Claus. He looks like Santa Claus. I'm a die. Yeah, there he is.

00:09:02
Speaker 2: Donnie Baseball my hero, the real number twenty three. It happens, and then you start to realize rich that you're older than most of the people in the league. Right, and now you're rooting for kids.

00:09:15
Speaker 1: When I'm rooting for brock Party, I'm like, he could be my kid if I got my college girlfriend pregnant or something.

00:09:20
Speaker 2: I'm like, and you feel you feel weird about rocking that jersey too. It's like you're rocking a kid's name on your back. So you start doing that math and putting things in perspective and you're like, ah, so those are the fun but weak things the worst things, like how old about being forty something?

00:09:37
Speaker 1: Bulpis in his twenties early twenties. It could be your kid, exactly.

00:09:41
Speaker 2: Yeah, all these dudes, especially these young dudes in the NFL, rooting for a guy half your age, but it goes to show you the longevity and the round of applause we should be giving Aaron Rodgers is Joey Flacco for still having game in a young man's league and honestly, a guy like Lebron James who gets a lot of shit, but you know what, it is so elevant that what a week ago he found Lebron's gonna miss a couple of weeks because of sciatica he's playing. He's played so long that he has like a middle aged guy ailment, like, ah, why sciatica is acting up back?

00:10:12
Speaker 1: Yeah?

00:10:12
Speaker 2: Hey, by the way, you know, on a positive note too, it's kind of cool. Joey Flacco had this really nice, endearing family moment too recently where he's on the field with his family and part of the reason was he wanted to stick around long enough where his kids got to really appreciate what he did, and they're growing up now and he gets to see dad do his thing, and it's it's kind of cool to do, kind of cool to see, so popus to him.

00:10:35
Speaker 1: Uh. Now, every week we started a new feature that it's really sweeping the world. Oh yeah, I would say nation, but it goes beyond that, it goes way beyond. It's they might be ass.

00:10:45
Speaker 2: It's a list you don't want to be on. And you know, we debated, we put our heads together and like, you know, who.

00:10:50
Speaker 1: Might be ass.

00:10:51
Speaker 2: I'm sad to say this, but it might be the Buffalo Bills. Oh yeah, four and two. But haven't looked down minute. They've lost two in a row and now they got to let the simmer in the bye week.

00:11:04
Speaker 1: They gotta sit.

00:11:05
Speaker 2: Around field for another week until they take on the Panthers in week eight.

00:11:10
Speaker 1: And the Panthers are pretty good fun. Did you google? Said Josh Allen googled sad pouty Josh Allen to Kelly, you, things just are working out.

00:11:21
Speaker 2: I mean, even Josh Allen's not putting up good fantasy numbers, good stats for the most part.

00:11:27
Speaker 1: Is he washed? Is he done? No? Not at all. I'm not saying that. We're saying the team might be asked right now, Well, every good team goes through their highs and lows. Every good Super Bowl team goes through a couple of weeks where they get their ash whoop.

00:11:41
Speaker 2: Yeah, but back to back Patriots Falcons really dominated them, and you're like, man, the Falcons way better than we thought.

00:11:49
Speaker 1: Or the Buffalo Bills. We're gonna go over that in our picks a little bit. But uh, who is your candidate for ass? This week? Kid said, I'm sitting in a feud. I'm should you know who else might be as look at me?

00:12:03
Speaker 2: That guy Joe on Love is Blind. He might be asked, well, he is such a but he's not more ass than the Buffalo Bills. I'm just saying he might be asked, if you're watching ed Edmund might be.

00:12:14
Speaker 1: What about the girl Love is blind that owns a hair slom but she got whack ass hair.

00:12:18
Speaker 2: Oh you know what, She's the most asked to me personally, that girl.

00:12:23
Speaker 1: Yeah, I had that. Well, I don't want to give it away. Love is blind and Joy. Yeah. Now listen, we are two weeks in a day away from Halloween. Yeah, I saw that.

00:12:32
Speaker 2: Uh.

00:12:32
Speaker 1: Next week is when McDonald's does their boo buckets. My kids will waste the time, waste of money, but my kids always want those.

00:12:39
Speaker 2: Spooky season begins well earlier and earlier every year. The decorations are a home depot in September.

00:12:47
Speaker 1: Halloween decorating has come a long way. When we were kids. What you might have had on your front lawn a bag of leaves that look like a pumpkin. Now you look on your neighborhood, it's forty foot skeletons on everyone's front.

00:12:56
Speaker 2: It's insane. We have her pumpkins out. I'm knocking my skull here for the season. And you're probably going out this weekend looking around, you're hitting this Halloween shop, Spirit Halloween. Roger Center's next, that's my prediction. But you're going shopping for the kids or for yourself. So we're gonna give you the update on what's trending this Halloween as far as costumes.

00:13:21
Speaker 3: Okay, I spot, did you have something to say? I was gonna say. I was going to work the other day and I saw a line around the block of adults, adults waiting for the Halloween mini.

00:13:31
Speaker 2: Totes at Trader Joe's. Really okay, See yeah, people get crazy about it. So we're just gonna give you some ideas not just kids. In case you're going out this weekend, do a little shop, and we're gonna start off with our yearly reminder, and that is maybe you should go this weekend because you don't want to get left with generic baseball guy, which is the weakest shit ever. You don't want to go there and all they have left is generic baseball player or pirate in a bag, but generic baseball player, especially because if you're going to be a baseball player, like splurge and buy an actual jersey, the actual pants.

00:14:03
Speaker 1: But actually it also insinuate that like you're a grown man that doesn't own a jersey.

00:14:08
Speaker 2: Right, No, seriously, because there's nothing worse than generic baseball player.

00:14:12
Speaker 1: Who are you for Halloween? I'm baseball guy.

00:14:14
Speaker 3: I love the baseball guy because he has a like a pot of a baseball schoolboy.

00:14:20
Speaker 1: That's the weakest shit. What team are you on?

00:14:22
Speaker 2: Oh?

00:14:23
Speaker 1: The baseball I swear, and I've got to party as an adult.

00:14:28
Speaker 2: And nothing screams like you're the lamest guy ever or you waited last minute than that, it's like, what are you, Generic baseball guy?

00:14:35
Speaker 1: Get out of here, ninth man out, You're the ninth man out. Who are you weak? Are you on the Black Sox? Get out of here? So I hate that. Now my daughter and all her friends. Have you got kids, It's clear you're gonna see a lot of K pop Demon Hunters, so prepare for that.

00:14:48
Speaker 2: That's like all the rage. Kids love this movie. I mean, it's all the buzz huh. So, yeah, the number one thing out there. And if you want to maybe even butter up the kids, let's say you're just staying home handing out candy this year. Kids would love that, honestly, if you're trying to be festive and stay involved, that's the number one thing. If you don't know what it is, you must not know any kids. Now, ky Pop Demon Hunters a movie that's coming out next month. But I feel like, you know, you could be any of the characters because it ties to the Wizard of Oz. Wicked is going to be a big one, so you'll see a lot of Wicked stuff that comes out in November, right, correct? Yeah, the second part his girlfriend and speaking of Wizard of Oz is still playing at the Sphere in Vegas if you.

00:15:30
Speaker 1: Want to check that out. But yeah, very popular one.

00:15:33
Speaker 2: There's a few couples ideas that are going to be very popular again this year is Taylor and Travis. That's going to be all the buzz once again because they're still in the news.

00:15:43
Speaker 1: Taylor and Travis. Maybe Madison, Beer and Herbert or Halee Steinfeld and Josh Allen. Pick your celebrity couple.

00:15:49
Speaker 2: Well, the most famous couple is the Coldplay couple, and you're going to see a lot of that as well, the Coldplay couple.

00:15:55
Speaker 1: If you're an older guy, you know, people just get to get a you know, short sleeve button down. Yeah, people are doing it.

00:16:00
Speaker 2: Shout out to Wednesday on Netflix. A lot of Wednesdays from the Adams family. And I think we're going to see a big rivalry. Just a prediction, but it's definitely one of the trending costumes this year.

00:16:15
Speaker 1: It's Phillies Karen.

00:16:17
Speaker 2: Right, Phillies Karen, but coming up the ranks, coming up the charts with a bullet look out for Phillies. I mean Brewers Karen. Brewers Karen's on the rise, so they might beat Karen the hair though in.

00:16:32
Speaker 1: The glasses just rock a Philly. This is this is a great one and I feel like you're gonna see a lot of this on the East coast for sure.

00:16:39
Speaker 2: Yeah, but just recently, Brewers Karen is going viral. Look out for her, and look out for those costumes this Halloween.

00:16:46
Speaker 1: And don't wait less minute like you said, because then you end up being a shitty as you always say, pirate in a bag that's missing the hook, right, And if you're going to be any of those, be the best version of those, right.

00:16:57
Speaker 2: You don't want to be like, oh yeah, there was two Phillies Karens, but one was really good, one sucked the really good one.

00:17:03
Speaker 1: Yeah.

00:17:03
Speaker 2: And I always say this to my wife when we would dress up more before it was like Sally Jesse, Raphael. I think, no, that was Philly's Karen before here's Brewer's Karen's.

00:17:14
Speaker 1: The best I'm gonna come up? Oh is that the woman that was like I'm gonna call Ice?

00:17:18
Speaker 2: Ye? Yes?

00:17:18
Speaker 1: Oh yeah? Man, so many Karen's so a little time, I know, But I I said to my wife years ago, because you know, we used to go all out. Now our kids do. My wife loves the trunk or treat and all that. If someone has to ask what you are, it's a shitty costume, exactly. It should be very easily identifiable. You shouldn't be oh what are you? If you have to say what are you, you'll you miss the point.

00:17:42
Speaker 2: Well pause on that too, because we still, I think, have two more over promised before Halloween.

00:17:47
Speaker 1: So over all the rules, the rules, Okay, we'll go over all the rules. Well, right now, we're gonna go over the bets that are gonna make you cash mone O gay Cage. I want to start with a teaser bet. A teaser bet for the ages. I'm calling this the more important than you think six point teaser. Now, these are teams that you think like, oh, they're in a decent position, but these wins would really prove to everyone like, oh right, they're for real. Because right now the Patriots sit at four and two, they're not as ass as we thought, and they're playing at Tennessee. And Tennessee even their quarterback says their ass. So if the Patriots beat Tennessee, they're five and two, and with Buffalo looking vulnerable, could the Patriots stay in the mix for the rest of the season At five and two, that would be a hell of a first seven games, right, and Tennessee is asked, that's a six and a half point spread. Take that down to minus half a point. So now you have the Patriots just needing to beat Tennessee. Now the team went the weirdest record in all of football. They had a bye week and a tie week. The Packers are three one in one and you're like, what what three one in one? Other teams are five and one, four and two one and five three one in one. So Jordan love Michaeh Parsons. Sometimes you forget, Oh they have him. They are playing at Arizona. I think the Cardinals stink. I think the Packers coming off of bye week are gonna be hungry. It's six and a half. They just kind of beat Arizona and it's not like Arizona has a great home field advantage. So you just seed the Patriots and the Packers to win. That's it, and I think they will. So I like that and the teaser bed Patriots and Packers. Now, next time, I want to do a little parlay. And this parlay I'm calling back to live back to reality. I want a good song. First say, I love what Daniel Jones is doing. I love Indianapolis offensive coordinator, head coach, everyone's delivering. Jonathan Taylor's having a career year. Daniel Jones has been resurrected. I'm feeling a big butt coming up, and you like a big butt. They're playing the Chargers, and I think that last week Indianapolis snuff buying one. I think they've been exposed a little bit. I think you're gonna have losses on the schedule. Daniel Jones is not going fifteen to one, So I.

00:20:15
Speaker 2: Think on the flip side of that, if they prove you wrong, you got some as kiss and the dude.

00:20:19
Speaker 1: Yeah, I do. But I think the Chargers win money line no points for it. It's like one and a half, so just money line. Chargers beat Indianapolis and the other one. They've won three in a row, why not make it four. Carolina, who is showing signs of life and youth and their coach seems to have a lot of good energy right playing the Jets, and I just think the Jets are so bad they'll just continue to lose. So moneyline parlay. Both of these teams just need to win. Carolina Chargers. Let's go.

00:20:48
Speaker 2: Well, you got me fired up for the Chargers Colts now, because I feel like that's a good statement game, good game, right, So I'm excited.

00:20:56
Speaker 1: And one more and you could say it's a Homer pick. I'm calling this the toy with my emotions straight bet. Rock Purdy appears to be like he might be in line to come back, right and Kittle Kittle, we're getting some people back. The Niners lost Fred Warner and at that point I said, all right, this isn't the season. But you win this week. You're five and two. But with no one being that great. Yeah, everybody's hurt, but they're playing primetime. Everybody's in this year. This year in the NFL, forty nine Ers are playing at home Sunday night football. So it's the primetime game against a team that I'm so confused by, the Falcons. The Falcons just beat Buffalo, but the week before so they lost thirty nzing to Carolina, so I'm so intrigued. I feel like Robert sala is going to prepare to stop that offense. And I think that with Purdy Kittle some of the guys getting healthier, the forty nine Ers co win by a field goal at home. So this is the toy with my emotion straight bet, because I think the Niners will win and give me some false hope that all is okay in the Bay Area, but I don't though. Without Warner and Halsa, You've been doing good. You've been on fire.

00:22:03
Speaker 2: And i'll tell you what, you did an extra great job this week with your picks because you've got me fired up for some of these games.

00:22:08
Speaker 1: So they got screenshot. Those are the picks. Enjoy and we will see you guys back on Fox Sports Radio tomorrow. Have a great Thursday night. Enjoy old Man Thursday night.

00:22:19
Speaker 2: Football, Steelers Bengals, and your postseason baseball postseason goost season.

00:22:24
Speaker 1: Don't y'all, I will see you.

00:22:26
Speaker 2: Agree with there at you baby, see you in the over Promised Land by by
