Key Topics & Discussion Points

1. World Series Game 6 – Dodgers vs. Blue Jays

Timestamps: 04:05 – 15:13, 36:58 – 48:43

• Fan Anxiety and Viewing Habits:
  • Dan Byer reveals he's anxious about the Dodgers facing off in Toronto and shares dad duty stories, sneaking World Series glances while trick-or-treating.
    • “Inside my tool bag because I'm a pit crew is actually my iPad because I'm going to be sneaking glimpses of the Dodgers game tonight while he's walking from door to door.” (05:22 – 05:52)
  • The crew laughs about parents multitasking Halloween with playoff baseball.
• Ticket Prices, FOMO & the Game 7 Lottery:
  • Rich marvels at astronomical Toronto prices for a possible Game 7 (field level up to $13,000, even nosebleeds are costly).
    • “The seats that I was scoping out for anyone up in Toronto, if you want field level, you're looking at 9, 10, 12, 13 grand a ticket…upper deckers.” (09:04)
  • Discussion focuses on the once-in-a-generation opportunity for Blue Jays fans and whether it’s worth spending big.
• The "Best Game" Dilemma:
  • Rich and Dan debate whether it’s better to attend Game 6 (guaranteed excitement) vs. risking disappointment or missing out on a legendary Game 7.
    • “Sometimes the game six is better because we know there is no guarantee for a game seven. And even if you go to a game seven, you could have your heart ripped out.” (11:02)
• Dodgers’ Strategy If Game 7 Occurs (Ohtani on the Mound?):
  • Dan clarifies the MLB rules on Shohei Ohtani pitching and DH logistics.
    • “If Ohtani did that, if he started as a DH and came in as a reliever, we would kind of then revert back to the old way of National League baseball where the pitching spot would then end up hitting…” (47:01)
  • Rich: “Starting Ohtani just makes sense” if it comes to a Game 7. (47:49)

2. Halloween Culture & Parental Perils

Timestamps: 15:13 – 20:05, 32:27 – 36:36

• The “Life Cycle” of Halloween:
  • Rich compares evolving perceptions of Halloween to growing up with your parents – from love as a kid, to cringe as a teen, back to appreciation (“drink and party”) as a young adult.
    • “The timeline of Halloween lines up exactly with the timeline of how you feel about your parents.” (15:13)
• Is Halloween the #2 Holiday?
  • The show ponders rankings for U.S. holidays by fun/cultural impact, with Dan pitching the merits of Thanksgiving and July 4th over Halloween in adult life.
    • “Thanksgiving, yes. Fourth of July makes sense because it's summertime…But for a kid, Halloween is up there.” (16:59 – 18:14)
• When Moms Cross the Costume Line:
  • Rich vents about parents (and especially moms) pushing the “sexy” costume envelope at school events.
    • “At the school fair game or not, when moms wear, like, the sexy costume, is that her way of being, like, still got it. Or is it, like, come on, mom, you're at the school fair. Ass cheeky.” (33:31)
  • Dan: “There are other opportunities. My son had a school carnival and parade this morning…if anybody dressed like that, …you would be taking away from the kids.” (34:12)
• Classy vs. Trashy Halloween Decor:
  • The show debates if pumpkins and hay bales are “classy”, but ghosts and skeletons are “trashy” yard decorations. Both hosts are slightly guilty of “trashing things up” for the kids.

3. Sports Spending, Youth Culture & FOMO

Timestamps: 09:46 – 10:44, listener calls through 25:37

• Younger Fans & Money Habits:

    • “Younger people…don't care at all about their finances…They all drive Teslas like no one buys. But that's not their money though…it’s the parents.” (09:55 – 10:17)
  • Dan agrees—kids are often still on the family phone plan or subsidized in other ways.
• Listener Calls:
  • Multiple listeners chime in with stories and opinions on Halloween’s appeal, big-ticket spending for sports, and sports betting strategies (e.g., a “parlay” for Dodgers, Broncos, Spurs).
    • Ron from Rochester: “You can hedge your bet and make a bunch of money…$10 brings back $9,000.” (24:19 – 25:37)

4. Horror Movies: Franchises & Childhood Scares

Timestamps: 36:13 – 53:28

[Dan Byer]

Hello.

[Rich]

What's up, D.B. we got a lot to get to today. We're talking NFL, we're talking game six baseball tonight, and of course, some Halloween chat. We'll talk some. Some horror movies because our pal Monsi went around Fox Sports Radio yesterday asking people about their favorite horror movie and I was sort of shocked by the answer. So we'll talk some Halloween in a second, but we are doing it live from the Fox Sports Radio studio. And anything you miss, our dude, Danny G. Hell of a job every day putting together a best of. You could hear that on the Fox Sports Radio app. In fact, one of the dads at school said, hey, where can we hear your show? I want to check it out. The iHeartRadio app. Every day, wherever you get your podcast after the show, Danny puts it up. So appreciate you guys more than you possibly know. Let me give you a little tease of what's coming up today. My mom's getting involved today. Your mother? We're gonna play A round of Does Rich's mom know? We asked my 70 year old mom questions. In the world of sports and pop culture it's sort of like do boomers know the answers to these questions? You got to guess, will she know or not? We'll give away some Nerf turbo footballs from Kavino and Rich. We'll go over our big TV games of the week, we'll do some weekend hobnobbin. But hey Danny G, I gotta ask you right out the gate, you nervous tonight or what? Game six of the World Series.

[Dan Byer]

Not only am I nervous, you know, you see my somewhat costume here, I'm just an assistant to KOA so same thing I do every day. I changed his diapers dirty diaper earlier. He is Lightning McQueen. So it's my job tonight to change any blown diapers or tires. But inside my tool bag because I'm a pit crew is actually my iPad because I'm going to be sneaking glimpses of the Dodgers game tonight while he's walking from door to door.

[Rich]

How many dads and moms are going to be walking around the neighborhood. Hey, make sure you say thank you while they're watching the phone locked in on game six. DB do you got. You got a gut instinct for tonight? You think the Dodgers extended and give Major League Baseball their dream of seven games?

[Dan Byer]

You know I really do. I think that it's got a great chance to go game seven and the only reason I'm saying that is because I woke up today and saw Joe Carter game six in 1993 and I just want Major League Baseball put out the tweets wanted to say all right, let's slow down a little bit. This is. I know what you're trying to do.

[Rich]

Major League Baseball touch them all Joe.

[Dan Byer]

Yeah right. And by the way I've forgotten how that played out. We just usually see the highlight and but the Jays were down at that time that top of the order and how it came through with Ricky Henderson and so it was a great refresher but I felt Major League Baseball was maybe putting the cart before the horse. So for that reason I think the Dodgers have a great chance tonight.

[Rich]

Couldn't agree more with Yamamoto on the hill. He's been dominant like now's not the time to stop your dominance and I don't know a proper way to say this. Their fantasy Major League Baseball must be excited in their pantalones at the idea of game seven and possibly Shohei Otani on the mound. That would be like drawn up Hollywood script in Toronto and Before we get to baseball, before we get to. I'm sorry, before we get to football and some horror stuff and Halloween, I gotta ask if you live in Toronto, and this doesn't have to do with just Toronto, but in this case, if you're a Blue Jays fan, I was just looking on StubHub, if this were to go seven for a team that hasn't been in the World Series since before smartphones, before social media, when you had a beeper, when you were wearing, you know, carpenter jeans in the 90s, do you need to be in the stadium? Are you spending two grand general admission? Is it important to be there? And it's different when you're a Dodgers fan or a Yankees fan or a. Even a Cubs fan or Mets or Giants teams that are there once in a while, they haven't been there in 30 years. I just wonder the pressure that Toronto Blue Jays fans are feeling like, ooh, if it goes to 7A, do I need to be there in the building A, get some Tim Hortons?

[Dan Byer]

Yeah, there's a lot of. There's a lot of pressure. And I think just even being downtown, if you were at the stadium, like around that area because of what could happen, we've seen the great shots when the Raptors made their runs of the fans hanging out. So you would think that there could be the same with the Blue Jays, but, man, there's nothing better than the seat at home. I will say that. But if you're on the verge of ending this after 30 years, I think a lot of people are at FOMO. So I think you got to figure out at least to be down in the area, especially if Toronto has a place where you can be a part of that, then I can understand you going and taking part.

[Rich]

Man, I was just looking. Danny G. Get this. The seats that I was. That was scoping out for anyone up in Toronto, if you want field level, you're looking at 9, 10, 12, 13 grand a ticket. Yeah, upper deckers for tonight. This is for game seven. I look for game seven for a. In case it did go seven upper deckers. That's what Cavino had last night before his colonoscopy.

[Dan Byer]

Yeah, I don't know. I was going to say db. I don't know how Canada's economy is doing, but there was a headline yesterday saying that Chipotle, Chipotle. They're very worried and wary because Americans can't afford their prices right now.

[Rich]

Well, dude, this is a narrative that doesn't change anything. And I'll tell you why? Younger people. And I don't want to sound like a boomer, you know, not some old guy. I'm in my 40s.

[Dan Byer]

I know what you're going to say. They sell out, right?

[Rich]

I'm a man. I'm 40. Younger people don't care at all about their finances. And I say that respectfully. Look around here. The young editors who I know don't make a lot of money, show up here with Chipotle and Boba teas every day. You think that's really in their budget? Every year that's fresh out of college, has a new iPhone. They all drive Teslas like no one buys.

[Dan Byer]

But that's not their money, though. Like their parents. They're still on their parents cell phone plan.

[Rich]

Kids are taking break years from college and swimming in cenotes in Mexico. Would you rather they eat poorly like ramen, or they eat well and treat their body better and pay a little more? Maybe they're onto something. But if you think budget's gonna get in the way of some young kid wanting to go, I don't think so. They just. I don't think kids understand what interest on a credit card is. I think they're just like, yeah, sw.

[Dan Byer]

So I'll find out soon enough.

[Rich]

Exactly. So listen, really exciting time in sports. We talked about it recently, how the NFL's popping, baseball is giving you everything you want. And the NBA, which I was trying to ignore at a purpose, like, I don't want to deal with the NBA yet. Austin, Reeves, Wemby, it's. It's making you watch.

[Dan Byer]

I will say this. I think that there's an interesting dilemma. I've been fortunate enough to cover a couple of NBA finals and one of the greater scenes was, sorry, Danny, but game six of the 08 finals, when the Celtics topped the Lakers and it was a blowout game and it was just a second half. Every basket that the Celtics scored to extend their lead, it just got louder and louder and it was a party. And so I'm wondering, like, if you're a Blue Jays fan, if you're like, I want to save my money for game seven, like, I'm not going to get the game six. Sometimes the game six is better because we know there is no guarantee for a game seven. And even if you go to a game seven, you could have your heart ripped out. Where tonight if you lose, at least you would have tomorrow's game.

[Rich]

You go home with still like, well, we got tomorrow. Yes, yes, I've walked away. Dan Buyer. For the record, I've walked away from losing game Sevens in the playoffs for my team. I've walked away from losing Super Bowls. And to quote Apollo Creed, there is no tomorrow. There's no tomorrow. And you walk away and you're like, I'm a loser. If you remember, I'm a Niners fan. The super bowl in Vegas where they lost to the Chiefs. I didn't even wait till the next morning to fly home. Remember I rented a car because I'm like, I just need to get the hell out of here. Yep, you feel deflated. So there is something to be said about if you go to game six and Danny, I'm not wishing this for you and all the Dodgers nation but if they're down, let's say five, six, one in the fifth or sixth, you're right DB Every out that place will get louder and louder and louder and Toronto's going to be popping.

[Dan Byer]

That's why the Dodgers need to get the party started with some early runs. The way the Blue Jays jumped out on them in the last game. The Dodgers need to return the favor tonight.

[Rich]

I'm going to keep making Mookie bet prop prop bets until he delivers like every. I'm going to bet Mookie bets home run until it happens every day.

[Dan Byer]

Well, let's hope Benny Betts can at least bring him some luck for.

[Rich]

For that my son's going to wear his jersey tonight.

[Dan Byer]

I think that there is. It is just an interesting dynamic when like I've talked golf with you guys or I'll bring up golf here. So the Masters is the hardest ticket you get in golf.

[Rich]

Yeah.

[Dan Byer]

And who wouldn't want to watch Rory McElroy down the stretch complete the grand slam for Sunday at Augusta. That doesn't happen every year. Sometimes guy wins by four strokes and there's not a lot of drama so being there. And sometimes guys don't make the cut so you don't see them on Saturday and Sunday. So maybe the better day to see the golf tournament is Thursday and Friday. So this is kind of playing into the, you know, if you are Toronto, can can beggars be choosers?

[Rich]

And the thing is you never know when you're buying tickets for a high end game like this and you're a hard working man or woman and you're spending thousands of dollars. You really are just hoping like oh really, I hope I pick the right one.

[Dan Byer]

Yes.

[Rich]

And think about if you're a Dodgers fan and you said all right honey, are we okay spending a few thousand dollars of our savings to go to The Dodgers game, there was such a drastic difference between picking game three, one of the greatest of all time, and the next day, Game four, which was a snoozer that you just lost. Yeah, yeah.

[Dan Byer]

And she wasn't in the baseball playoffs. They were down maybe two one was. It was a. I can't remember. But the point was that a Game four at home, and it was just the fact of. No, it's the Yankees. It was the Yankees, the Red Sox, because they dropped game one. Right. So why would you go to game two? All that's going to happen is your team's either going to lose or there's going to be a better game the next day. This is the opposite. Like, you could win it tonight, or you have the safety net of if they don't win, at least they could maybe win. Not that you're going to buy a Game 7 ticket, but your heart wouldn't totally be broken because your team's still alive. Yes.

[Rich]

And truthfully, I've looked in the past. Game four is traditionally in. The best of seven are the cheapest ticket, really, because someone's either up two one unless it's three. Oh, and it's a home team. Ooh, maybe we could sweep and clinch. Usually game four is the cheaper ticket because either someone's going to go up 3:1 or someone's going to tie 2:2. And there's no urgency to be there for that moment.

[Dan Byer]

That makes sense.

[Rich]

So, hey, enjoy game six tonight while you and the kids are out trick or treating. And I have a theory about Halloween. I want to throw it past you guys real quick, and then we'll. Thank you. Sam. Halloween is sort of like your relationship with your parents when you really think about it. When you're a little kid, you love Halloween, right? You love it. The idea of dressing up, getting candy. And that's how you feel about your parents. You love your parents. You think your parents are cool. You're like, mom and dad are the best. And then you hit your teen years, and a lot of times you're like, yeah, mom and dad, stop. You're embarrassing me. And there's a part of you that thinks Halloween is sort of corny and you get off it. Then you go to college, and you start to have this weird admiration for your parents again. Like, well, they really do work hard. They help me. Man, I love my mom and dad. And that's when you start realizing Halloween's cool. Cause you incorporate, like, drinking and partying with Halloween. So the timeline of Halloween lines up exactly with the timeline of how you feel about your parents. And my daughter asked me an interesting question. She goes, dad, is Halloween the second coolest holiday? And I had to think about this. I'm like, is it. Do you guys think Halloween is number two? It's the second biggest commercial holiday in the U.S. we spend $12 billion a year on Halloween. Between costumes, candy, and decorations, clearly Christmas is number one. After that, Halloween number two.

[Dan Byer]

It's a close second. Yeah, I was going to say, I know a lot of people love fourth of July.

[Rich]

That's. That's up there. Big Mike, who runs this place, who. I really love Thanksgiving.

[Dan Byer]

Yeah, that's. That's what I thought would be the. The other one.

[Rich]

Thanksgiving.

[Dan Byer]

Yes. Fourth of July makes sense because it's summertime. You're.

[Rich]

Damn.

[Dan Byer]

You're also off for work for Thanksgiving, which Halloween. We're. You don't usually. There's a reason to knock Halloween down. Independence Day and Thanksgiving, moving on up.

[Rich]

So enjoy your Halloween. Is it your number two holiday? Who knows? But we'll take your feedback on what you think is going to go down tonight. Game six. Well, I would say, you know, holiday. Is it entomology, the origin of the word is like a holy day. Right. Halloween is more of like a pagan holiday. So it's like, you know, it's almost. You can't even compare it to Thanksgiving or Easter or Christmas because it's more of like something that. It's not a holy day. It's on a holy day. We can talk about holiday, Sam. Like the birth of Christ and getting free candy are gonna clearly be in a different category. But I'm saying from a kid's perspective, or if you think like, you know, like you're a young at heart type of person, is Halloween like the second most fun day for a kid? I guess put yourself in a kid Halloween, like young Iowa. Sam's perspective. You're in Iowa, you know, holding on to some corn or something. Candy corn. What are you loving as a kid? Is it like. Yeah, Halloween's cool, right? Oh, Halloween, Christmas, absolutely. And then they're only, you know, they're. They're kind of in the same part of the year. Getting colder, fall into winter.

[Dan Byer]

Well, for a kid, Valentine's Day was fun because you could put the moves on the. The little girl you liked. Kidding. They got cooties. Yeah. There's no.

[Rich]

No. Hey, you know, I was, I was talking to Big Mike because, you know, besides being the guy that runs this place and besides being.

[Dan Byer]

He doesn't. But that's okay.

[Rich]

Besides being a man of knowledge, he does his words of wisdom. Like, I mean, Mike. Mike has a lot to deliver here.

[Dan Byer]

Never heard of him.

[Rich]

He also loves to claim that. He loves to claim that he's the love doctor. Have you heard him say this? Where he's like, my love advice is second to no one. Like, he believes he gives good relationship advice. And I said, mike, do you think Halloween's the easiest holiday to hook up if you're a single person? And he's like, it's up there with Valentine's Day. I'll say this Valentine's Day and New Year's Eve. And I go, you know what? Because I feel like not to be sleazy. But back in my single days, I always feel like Halloween as a. As a grown up was a fun time to go out to a party.

[Dan Byer]

We bust his chops because he absolutely does not run this place. But Big Mike has lived. He's lived life. He's got experiences. Experiences that no one has had. So I can understand that. I think that there are people who would put Halloween number one without thinking twice about it, that they love it so much.

[Rich]

I feel like some good stories are taken from Halloween. Cause a lot of times, not just women, but people will pretend who they really are and they let loose on Halloween.

[Dan Byer]

Yeah. And honestly, there's no stress. People get stressed out by the holidays. Shopping, buying for others, getting stuff ready. It's not mine. It's not even in my top five. It wouldn't have been in my top 20 until I had a son. And now he loves it, so I like it a little bit more. But there are people who will put it number one with no questions asked.

[Rich]

No doubt. You know, let's go to the phones. Phones are hot. Most interactive show. Covino and Rich rolling solo today. I guess Halloween is. I know, Cavino. Not that you care, but the only day available. You know how doctors you go to make an appointment and they're like, yeah, how's like eight months from now? That's like every doctor you try to get like an ear, nose, throat specialist for your kid or something. Like, how is July 2020? Went to a doctor's appointment on the 23rd. And my next appointment is like late October of 2026. So, yeah, and I will forget about it for 11 months. So, you know, we were talking about men's health and awareness. We said, you know, we should all be getting colonoscopies. You're in your 40s. The they had Halloween day, and then they're like, or we could see you in 2027. So it's like, so Camino's like, dude, do you mind if I take Halloween? I'm like, go ahead, dude. Go ahead. Enjoy. But your thoughts? Let's say hi to my dude and yours, Drew Mack, in Nashville. What's up, Drew Mack?

[Danny G]

Yo, what's up, Richie? Hey, Dan. Hey, Danny G. Yo, what's up, bud? Hey, guys. Hey. Actually, I got a lot to talk about here, but I'll keep it short. First off, with Halloween, I think it is fun for adults. You know, once you hit a certain age, you get that sweet spot between, I'd say 18 to 30, a lot of fun could be had. Secondly, for all the CNR listeners, just Google what Cavino and Rich looked like when they were on their ESPN show as Woody and Buzz Lightyear.

[Rich]

Oh, my God. By the way, More than that, Drew Mack is right. If you want to. If you want to laugh and be embarrassed for Cavino specifically, I was Woody and he was Buzz Lightyear, and they put makeup on him that just something was wrong. Like spray tan. Like a spray tan thing. It is the most embarrassing Halloween costume Camino's ever had.

[Dan Byer]

In fact, he looked like Lou Gossett.

[Rich]

Jr. Dude, I don't know what they were doing. What else you got, Drew Mack?

[Danny G]

Lastly, going back to the price of tickets, I think it's very, like, sports specific. Like, I would never pay those crazy prices for like World Series or NBA playoffs because you don't know what's going to happen. But Super Bowl, I get it. Like, Rich, when you went to the hardball bowl, get it? I always, I try to always go to, like, the US Open Finals because I don't really in tennis in New York City because I don't care who's playing. It's the experience. But, you know, certain things, you want to know who's playing or you want to know there's going to be a, you know, finality to it. And so, you know, like, going to, like, few of those early games that are these crazy prices. Even if you're wealthy, I don't get, like, spending that much money. It just seems really crazy.

[Rich]

Yeah, but the finality, I agree, of a game seven, especially in a town that has been thirsting since the 90s, like Toronto, if there's a chance for someone to be like, yeah, you want to come with me? A couple grand, like, you might need to. Thank you, Drew Mack. Love you, buddy. Let's go to Doug in Maryland. Doug, what's up, man?

[Danny G]

Hey, guys. Hey, what happens without looking at your phones and your computer? What happened 31 years ago today?

[Rich]

All right, 30 night football, 31 years ago today.

[Danny G]

Yeah. My nephew turned 31 today. That's why I know it was the day he was born.

[Rich]

All right, so 31 years ago would be 1994.

[Danny G]

Right, right.

[Rich]

Okay, 94. Monday Night Football on this day.

[Danny G]

Look at your computer.

[Rich]

DB Go ahead. What's your guess?

[Dan Byer]

I was going to guess is that where the Bears fan jumped to catch the extra point or the kick against the Packers.

[Danny G]

That happened too. But Dick Buckus and Gail Sayers numbers were retired at halftime and it was raining and so they were. It was just. It was horrendous as guys had to deal with that getting their numbers retired.

[Rich]

I love that you said that. I love that you said that. But Dan Byers, right. The bigger highlight of that day, if that is the day where that dude jumped through the uprights as a fan or jumped.

[Dan Byer]

Yeah, jumped as the kick, went through the uprights and caught the. It was an extra point or field goal. I think it was an extra point that.

[Rich]

It's so funny you would say that. Covino has joked for years that that was my dad. He jokingly tell people at a party, like, you know, Rich's dad was the guy that. So 31 years ago today. Good mem. Doug. Let's take one more for now. Ron in Rochester. What's up, Ron?

[Danny G]

Hey, Ron and Rochester. I'm the Syracuse guy. I was an economics major from Syracuse. Statistics, probability. I'm going to start launching a podcast. I am the sports professor. And here's a bet for you tonight. Take the Dodgers at 2 to 1.

[Rich]

Okay.

[Danny G]

Denver Broncos at 21 allows it. 10 bucks comes back 600 bucks and San Antonio to that. It's 12 to 1, 10. That brings back $9,000. And if you have one leg of those three, you can hedge your bet and make a bunch of money.

[Rich]

So you're saying, are you doing long term? Are you talking winning championships? Are you doing.

[Danny G]

You're doing 12 times. 12 times two. I'm not quick.

[Rich]

I'm not debating you. So you're saying Dodgers. You like a long term? Dodgers.

[Danny G]

Spurs, Dodger to win two games. Dodgers.

[Rich]

Okay.

[Danny G]

Denver Broncos 20 to one. Are you kidding me?

[Rich]

I mean, they're six and two and they look pretty good. Okay. And you're saying Wemby just takes it all the way with the spurs and that's a 9,000 DOL.

[Danny G]

$9,000 bet on $10. And if you take this just the dodgers with Denver 10 bucks get you 600 and then say the Dodgers win it then. Now you're locked in for a $600 bet and you only bet 10 bucks. You do a box like you do in horse racing and box for three best teams. You know you still only bet 30 bucks and yet you got you know, three best teams. The three best, three best.

[Rich]

You know look at that Ron. Ron's already paid for all of our kids college push on this one bet. Thank you Ron. That's actually sounds like a fun chance to take. So I listen we're gonna take all your back. We're going to get to NFL week nine. That sounds crazy right? Week nine. We'll talk a little more World Series and I have two thoughts about Halloween. One that has to do with horror movies and one that makes you look like you're broke and one that makes you look like you're classy. I'll explain next.

Ancient Athenians used to scratch names onto Oyster shells. And they called these ostracon to vote politicians into exile. So our word ostracized is related to the word oyster. No way.

[Rich]

Bring back the ostricon.

[Eva Longoria]

And because we've got a very mi casa es su casa kind of vibe on our show, friends always stop by.

[Danny G]

Of the planet was through the El Golf of Mexico. No, the America. No, the America. El golfo de Mexico continuing forever and ever.

[Eva Longoria]

It blows me away how progressive Mexico was in this. In this moment. They had land reform, they had labor rights, they had education rights. Mustard seeds were so valuable to the ancient Egyptians that they used to place them in their tombs for the afterlife. Listen to Hungry for History as part of the My Cultura podcast network, available on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Rich]

Science. Yeah. Happy Halloween from Fox Sports Radio. Kavino and Rich, the whole crew hanging today. I was Sam, Danny G. Spotty Boy, Dan Buyer. It's like a super team. We're like the Dodgers. They could get it done. My son's Mookie Betts jersey came in. Danny G. And I'm wondering if him throwing that on tonight stops the bleeding. What do you think?

[Eva Longoria]

Right.

[Dan Byer]

Well, you and your. I don't know. I can't say your family, you specifically have jinxed your own baseball team, the Mets.

[Rich]

So I was gonna say I'm. I'm like, the worst luck.

[Dan Byer]

So I hope that doesn't bleed over to my team.

[Rich]

I was gonna say my kid liking your team. I don't know. Well, hey, a big sports weekend. Some great college games. We'll talk about later. NFL Week 9. So many storylines we're gonna get to. And of course, it's Halloween, so we'll go back to your feedback and phone calls. I have two quick thoughts about Halloween I want to throw out there. Get the. Take the temperature of the room. So you get to a point, and I think everyone either dreads this day or it's already happened to them. If they have a daughter. When the Halloween costumes go from, like, they're dressed like a kid to, like, yeah, don't be wearing that. You're a preteen. You're a teenager. Cover up. That's. You know, that feeling. Danny G. You have a. You have a dog.

[Dan Byer]

The feeling of, yeah, my stepdaughter just turned 15.

[Rich]

Yeah. There's no. There's no costume you should be wearing that starts with sexy. Too young. Here's the other question, though.

[Dan Byer]

Her and her friends just ordered their costumes. One size smaller than what it should be.

[Rich]

That. Exactly. Here's the question, though. At the school fair game or not, when moms wear, like, the sexy costume, is that her way of being, like, still got it. Or is it, like, come on, mom, you're at the school fair. Ass cheeky.

[Dan Byer]

Is it a single mom?

[Rich]

That's a good question. Because sometimes single moms are putting it out there.

[Dan Byer]

I know that. No, that's not the place to do it.

[Rich]

At the Halloween parade this morning when cheeks are out, it's a little. What are we doing? No, mom, you shouldn't be a sexy.

[Dan Byer]

Does not. No.

[Rich]

Sexy devil at the Trunk or Treat.

[Dan Byer]

Okay, can't do it.

[Rich]

Put the booty away.

[Dan Byer]

Yes, there are other times. There are other opportunities. My son had a school carnival and parade this morning. You would have. If anybody dressed like that, it would have been sort of. You would be taking away from the kids in their costumes so you could look like you made it about you. Yes.

[Rich]

And your sexy cheeks. Look at you. Oh, you're K Pop demon hunters. What are you.

[Eva Longoria]

Oh, Marvel.

[Rich]

Oh, you're with Elphaba. Wicked. Oh, look at mom with her cheeks out.

[Dan Byer]

Yeah. Oh, Sydney Sweeney. My mom's Sydney Sweeney. Like, yeah, that's gonna go over well.

[Rich]

Sydney, sweetie, in that dress you wore.

[Dan Byer]

Yeah, right. Yeah. That's what I'm talking about.

[Rich]

My goodness. Yeah. Don't do that, Moms. And my other question is, I saw someone say this on TikTok, so I don't want to steal the thought and not give credit, but I don't know. I don't know who to give credit to. Some doofus was saying, when you decorate for Chris, when you decorate for Halloween, if you keep it to pumpkins, gourds, and, like, corn. Dried corn stalks. Yeah, like, stuff like that. Indian corn. Yeah, it's classy. The minute you start incorporating skeletons, ghosts and tombstones, you're trashing up the neighborhood.

[Dan Byer]

Yeah, gourds are way more classy.

[Rich]

But I'm saying, is that. Do you feel that that is the line of classy versus, like, what are you doing?

[Dan Byer]

Yes. I decorated ours to fall.

[Rich]

Fall. It's the harvest. It's Martha Stewart Living kind of thing.

[Dan Byer]

The little hay bales that you could get at, like, Michaels or at Home Depot.

[Rich]

Very classic.

[Dan Byer]

It sets a perfect sort of theme. And here's the other good thing about it. You don't have to start Christmas lights so early. You can keep this past Halloween because.

[Rich]

It goes to Thanksgiving. Yes, absolutely. I think that I'm a little guilty. Only because my kids love the stupid stuff so much. But I. There's no reason why I should have a. Any blow up Halloween, anything that does trash up the neighborhood. So I'm a little guilty of trashing up the neighborhood. But the minute Halloween's over. DB's right. Don't put the Christmas stuff up too soon. No. The bales of hay. You can even put like white or orange lights around the door frame. Just.

[Dan Byer]

Sure.

[Rich]

You could make maybe a little. A little cornucopia.

[Dan Byer]

Yeah, plenty. Yes.

[Rich]

The cornucopia is like the little wicker basket that opens up when there's like little pumpkins in there. Yeah. Keep it classy, everybody. All right, Kavino and Rich. Now before we go to Dan Byers update, I saw that our pal Moncy posted a video that you could see on the Fox Sports Radio Instagram page. She went around the studios and asked every show here and all the producers, all the board ops, everyone, what is their favorite horror movie. And it got me thinking about the best horror movie franchise. So think about that. What franchise would you put your stamp of approval behind? We'll talk a little Halloween, talk a little NFL Week 9, but let's go to DB for an update. Dan Byer. What's doing, buddy?

[Dan Byer]

Guys, Game six of the week World Series is tonight in Toronto. Blue Jays home to the Dodgers. Jays up 32 in the series coverage at 7 o' clock Eastern Time on Fox. The pitching matchup. Yoshinobu Yamamoto on the hill for the Dodgers. Kevin Gosman throws for the Jays trying to win their first World Series title since 1993. Dodgers just trying to force a game seven. That would be tomorrow night. Dodgers making more changes with their lineup, including dropping Mookie Betts to fourth. Heel back cleanup tonight. Shohei Ohtani leads off, followed by Will Smith and then Freddie Freeman with Bets again batting four. Miami Dolphins parted ways with general manager Chris Greer today. Head coach Mike McDaniel is expected to stay on until the end of the season. Ravens were fined $100,000 by the NFL for their handling of the injury report last week involving Lamar Jackson. 49ers are starting Mac Jones at quarterback against the Giants. There could be a possibility where Brock Purdy suits up as he's listed as questionable to face New York, but Jones is expected to get the start. Commanders quarterback Jaden Daniels has been cleared from his hamstring. He'll start against the Seahawks on Sunday night. Panthers quarterback Bry Young off the injury report. He'll start against Green Bay. Returning from a sprained ankle. Kyler Murray for the second straight day limited in practice. Jacoby Brissette getting first team reps. Cardinals face the Cowboys on Monday night. Bengals quarterback Joe Flacco questionable for Sunday against the Bears. Bears won't have running back Deandre Swift. Patriots won't have running back Ramadre Stevenson when they face the Falcons. But Atlanta is getting back. Quarterback Michael Penix Jr. And wide receiver Drake London both going in Week 9. Finally, Jaguars placed rookie Travis Hunter on IR after he suffered a knee injury in practice. Rich, back to you, yo.

[Rich]

Thank you, Dan Byer. Now you said the Ravens did get fined $100,000. They were not, they were not penalized with any draft pick or anything because they didn't consider it with, with such bad intention.

[Dan Byer]

Yes, they said that they were negligent, but they weren't trying to deceive.

[Rich]

Now, question, I mean, clearly they would never say this, but do you think there's also a layer where it's like so many gambling sites involved in sports now, partnerships with ESPN and Fox and this and that. Do you think there was a, that point spread swung pretty drastically with Lamar in or out? That's another layer of like, like you're deceiving gamblers too. I know you shouldn't think that way, but it's a big part of sports now.

[Dan Byer]

But you know, this is something that we talked about on our show last Sunday and I know other people have talked about it as well when we didn't know Lamar Jackson's status, the Tech, the Ravens were still favored by six and a half, remember?

[Rich]

Yeah.

[Dan Byer]

So it wasn't until all of a sudden we found out on Saturday that he wasn't going to play, that it dropped at 2. And so I think most of us didn't think that Lamar was going to play because the Ravens said there was an opportunity. It was because Vegas was saying that there was an opportunity. Right. Like, as much as we always feel that Las Vegas actually knows what's going on. So even though they listed him as a full participant, Vegas had kept that number where it was throughout the week. And that's why, that's why I don't, I feel it's a little bit of much ado about nothing because I felt, we all felt what Vegas was doing was what Lamar status was going to be. Nice.

[Rich]

Thank you DB for a great update, as always. Now we're going to go, we're going to go rogue. Next hour we're going to play a fun game called Will Rich's mom though my mom, sweet 70 year old lady from the east coast. She seems to be in the loop on things, but will she know the answer to sports trivia, movie trivia, pop culture trivia? If you guess if my mom knows or not, you win a prize. We'll play that next hour. Plus weekend Hobnobbin. We'll go over what the big T games of the week are. That's all coming up right here. Fox Sports, Radio Covino and Rich.

Doing it live from the Fox Sports Radio studio, Cavino and Rich. Now it's time for your tire rack play of the day. Lamar Jackson was just handing out touchdowns to everyone yesterday. Ain't that right? I was. Sam off the play. Fake Lamar escaping the pocket, slings into the end zone. Touchdown, Ravens. And this time, it's a Raven receiver, Rashad Bateman. And the touchdown stands. Well, guess who didn't get a touchdown. Derek Henry, because I picked him up in the Guillotine League. All Right. Hey, that was your Tyrack Play of the day. For over 40 years, Tyra has been helping customers find the right tires for how, what and where they drive. Ship fast and free. Backed by free road hazard protection, convenient installation options. Tirerack.com the way tire buying should be. And that is courtesy of 98 Rock Ravens Radio Network. Now, we keep talking about game seven tomorrow. The Blue Jays could very well just wrap things up tonight at home and Toronto will explode, enjoy and excitement. But if we were to go to a Game 7, there's a lot of thought of how do the Dodgers effectively use Shohei Ohtani? And they're.

[Dan Byer]

Because Glass now is waiting in the wings. But you're going to want to use Ohtani as well.

[Rich]

There's rumors that they're like, well, they're going to start Glass now. Is that official? If they start Otani, does that change how they could use him as a dh? There's some rules to this. And let's go to Dan Byer just to get some of those bullet points.

[Dan Byer]

Yeah, yeah. So, Danny, you know, kind of gimme a heads up to what you guys were looking at because there's some confusion on what the Dodgers could actually do if Ohtani started the game as a designated hitter and came in as a reliever. So what would then happen is if Ohtani did that, if he started as a DH and came in as a reliever, we would kind of then revert back to the old way of National League baseball where the pitching spot would then end up hitting. So Ohtani, for him to stay in the game at that time, would need to go and play at defensive position and they would then lose their dh. So then who would ever replace Ohtani in that pitcher spot then would be in the batting order.

[Rich]

The pitcher would then hit.

[Dan Byer]

Yes, correct. Yes. What position would you put Ohtani at.

[Rich]

That would make you think though that starting Ohtani just has a win?

[Dan Byer]

It's the only option.

[Rich]

The only real option.

[Dan Byer]

So you'd start Ohtani and then have Glass now come in. Correct.

[Rich]

Because you don't want to, Honestly, Dave Roberts, who is a two time World Series winning manager, so I'm not going to doubt his expertise. But do you think that's one more issue Dave Roberts doesn't want to worry about? Imagine you don't start Ohtani. He comes in and then you're, then you're looking at who comes up in the lineup, then you're fiddling with everything for the rest of the game. Starting Ohtani just makes sense.

[Dan Byer]

The AP Reports that Ohtani has never pitched in relief during his pro career in the States. He did make relief appearances for the teams in Japan in 2013. So not only would he be an inconvenience to your order, he would be doing something that he hasn't done ever in the United States and hasn't done in 12 years.

[Rich]

So you're saying why not start trying it in game seven of the World Series?

[Dan Byer]

Let's see how it works and go from there.

[Rich]

Hey, you never did this before. How about, how about now? Game 7 in Toronto. Hey, which I hope we get to. Sorry, Toronto fans. I mean, who doesn't want a game 7 with Ohtani on the hill? And then I thought about it. I know they have not made a decision yet for the Blue Jays from what I understand. But imagine it was the old bulldog, Max Scherzer or even Shane Bieber, you know, all hands on deck. And that's what you got to love about a game seven because to quote Apollo Creed for the second time today, there is no tomorrow in those moments. There is no tomorrow. So can't wait for that. But World Series game six tonight and we're going to get to a lot of NFL for the rest of the show and give away some prizes. But one Halloween note, I was asking you guys, what do you think the number one in your mind horror movie franchises. I would say I start with you. What comes to mind for you? Because I have a few that I love and I think I don't like the creepy demonic stuff. What do you. What are you feeling? I'm going to go on a limb here. I'm going to say this is horror sci fi. I'm going to say the Alien franchise because you know what, those movies actually scare me way more than like it movie clown movies or anything like that. I think the Alien movies are very scary. That's mine. Danny G. What you got?

[Dan Byer]

The one that scared me the most as a little kid, A Nightmare on Elm Street. So I'd say that franchise Freddy Krueger.

[Rich]

And I can't be the only one. That was the first big kid costume I had. I went from being ALF and Hulk Hogan and he man and you know those plastic pharmacy costumes with the, the plastic mask that would like cut your face went from those. And I remember my mom's like, you could get the Freddy Krueger claw and the rubber mask. That was a big deal. So Nightmare on Elm street has to be up there now. Dan Byer, I know you're not a movie guy. Yes, there's got to be something that stands out a little bit.

[Dan Byer]

Not at all, Rich Davis. In fact, if you noticed, I wasn't even in Monsieur's video because she got me when I first walked in. She's like, what's your favorite horror movie? I go, I have no idea. I've never, I've never watched any. But it doesn't mean I can't contribute. As someone who hasn't watched any, the standard that I would put for our non watchers was Friday the 13th. Yeah, I don't know if it was the scariest. I don't know if it was the goriest. I don't know what it is. But of everything that came out, like, of that was out, it felt like that was the top of the line.

[Rich]

The costumes, the, like, the creepy music.

[Dan Byer]

That was Jason, right? That was Freddy Krueger. No, Freddy Krumer is Nightmare on Elm Street.

[Rich]

Yeah, yeah. What did you say?

[Dan Byer]

Or. I said Friday the 13th.

[Rich]

Friday the 13th, Jason. Yeah, yeah, spotty boy. You got one or no, I'll.

[Dan Byer]

You know what? I'll.

[Rich]

I'll throw in. See, I like the Scream movie franchise, but to me it's campy. It is, but it's. I have it in my top three because I put my top three down. But it's. I always enjoyed the Scream. I thought the first one was like a good classic horror movie. And then it just got worse and worse after that. But I was like, Scream. The first Scream opened, if you remember, with Drew Barrymore making a Jiffy Pop. Right? That was the opening scene of the first one. And I believe they're what, six deep now? That's what she said. Seven. They're working on seven, I think. Yeah, they're working on seven. And that mask probably is one of the most sold Halloween costumes since. Right? You see that? And it bled over into the scary movie franchise, which they mocked, of course. So I'm going to go screen. There's two other movie franchises that I'm all about and you might think they're corny. Same thing as Fox. It might be a little campy. I like the final destinations. Do you even call that horror? Or do you think those are horror? Yeah, right.

[Dan Byer]

Scared the crap when that girl was in the tanning bed.

[Rich]

Oh, yeah.

[Dan Byer]

After. After I saw that scene, I'm like, I can't watch these movies anymore.

[Rich]

I will never drive behind a truck on the highway with logs on it. With carrying logs. And when you're on a plane, do you check the seatbelt back knob just to make sure. Every time. Every, every single time. So final destinations are fantastic. And I think my number one answer, I know a few people said, including Rob G. And I think Kelvin even said it from the Odd Couple. Want to play a game? The Saw movies. Jigsaw Killer. If you don't mind the gruesome nature of some of those scenes. Like, you know, the. Remember in the first one, the dude had to decide if he's going to saw his leg off. Sadist. They're sadistic movies. I think they're wildly creepy. Gory. Gory and fun. So enjoy. Watch your Halloween. There's one movie that I don't know if I would recommend if you got kids, Julia Garner is in a movie that's on HBO Max now. It's called Weapons. It's about all these kids that disappear and it's all creepy as could be. So, hey, lots of fun to watch, but we're going to get to NFL and what to watch and we'll play a game. Coming up next hour, Covino and Rich.

Ancient Athenians used to scratch names onto oyster shells to vote politicians into exile. So our word ostracize is related to the word oyster.
