Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. World Series Tension: Jays vs. Dodgers

[03:34–16:36]

• The show opens riding the high of the Blue Jays’ early home runs, especially Davis Schneider’s leadoff bomb, and the impact of his family sharing the experience.
  • Quote [04:05]: “Hope you had a Blue Jays sort of night... Davis Schneider leading off the game with a bomb, setting the tone.” — Covino
• The importance of stepping up in big moments, highlighting how playoff pressure exposes whether a player rises or falls.
  • Schneider stepping up for Springer; Dodgers’ stars feeling the heat
• The immediate pressure put on the Dodgers by Toronto's fast start and how that "tightens the bats" for L.A.'s big names (Freeman, Betts).
  • Quote [05:10]: “You got to set the tone, but you automatically immediately put pressure on the Dodgers at home when you start off the game with two home runs.” — Covino
• Game 7's inevitable drama is anticipated.
• Stepping into the fan’s shoes: Human moments, like sitting next to a player’s parent at a game, affect how you root.
  • Quote [08:24]: “If you find yourself sitting next to Schneider's dad and you're a Dodgers fan, how does that change the way you root?” — Kavino

2. The Making of Postseason Heroes & Future Pressure

[09:45–11:17]

• Focus on Yusei Kikuchi (“Ya Savage”) and the rapid elevation of young stars.
• Will instant postseason success translate to career longevity or is it just a "lightning in a bottle" situation?
  • “Is he lightning in the bottle, or is this the start of an amazing career?” — Covino [10:43]

3. The “One Man (or Team) to Beat” Theory

[11:23–16:36]

• The “One Man to Beat” theory stems from relationships but translates to sports: Once a dominant team emerges (Blue Jays, Chiefs, historical Warriors), entire franchises retool to target the specific opposition.
  • Quote [13:12]: “…I saw someone say, 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.”
• Discussion on Yankees, Chiefs, Warriors and how success puts a target on your back.
  • “It’s easier to beat the one man than a bunch of people.” — Covino [12:56]
  • “The one man to beat theory does translate in sports as the one team to beat theory.” — Covino [14:16]
• Examples from NBA (Wemby, Splash Brothers) and NFL (Niners vs. Cowboys/Deion Sanders).

4. Adapting as Fans and Parents: Halloween vs. World Series

[19:13–23:46]

• Halloween fun collides with sports obsessions: Fans/parents juggling trick-or-treating with watching Game 6.
  • Anticipation of dads trailing kids, glued to phones for scores.
  • Quote [20:01]: “You’re going to–I can’t wait to see this scene tomorrow because it’s going to be hilarious because I’ll be doing the same.” — Kavino
• Cultural shift toward “trunk or treat” events, with hosts reflecting on their evolution as parents.
• Quote [23:04]: “Trunk or treat might be the one thing Covino and I…totally change our mind on…this is way cooler.” — Kavino

5. NBA Spotlight: Austin Reaves & the “Wrong Time to Shine”

[32:00–33:49]

• Props for Austin Reaves’ standout performance amid the Lakers’ injury issues.
  • Quote [32:06]: “He had a bad night. He had 28 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 really showing that he’s a superstar…” — Covino
• Discussion on whether Reaves will see his stats dip as the team returns to full strength and speculation about trade value.
• Comparison to Wembanyama’s rising, must-watch status.

6. Old School "Mischief Night", Candy Corn Division, & Halloween Memories

[43:17–49:13]

• Mischief Night/Devil’s Night nostalgia—throwing eggs, shaving cream wars, and the dread of older kids.
  • Quote [46:19]: “If you saw a group of teenagers walking down your block, you’d be like, yo, I’m getting out of here.” — Kavino
• National Candy Corn Day divides the crew and families—“no household is unanimous on candy corn!”
  • Quote [48:10]: “There’s not a house that’s unanimous on their love or hate of candy corn.” — Kavino
• Candy mixing tip: candy corn + peanuts = “a payday”.

[Rich]

Man, oh man, it's shimmits.

[Kavino]

Let's do it.

[Covino]

All right, throwing it back. Thursday's the new Friday, the weekend, the Halloween weekend officially begins.

[Kavino]

Hey, it's a quote hubie Halloween.

[Covino]

Yeah.

[Kavino]

Halloween is upon us.

[Dan Byer]

It is.

[Covino]

It's right here. We got some treats for you in the form of sound effects provided by Iowa Sam.

[Kavino]

Hi, Sammy.

[Covino]

We do old 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. Ovino and Rich. FSR Dan Byer the Great is here and thank you for rocking out with us. Let's go. Hope you had a Blue Jays sort of night. Hope you had a savage sort of night. A Davis Schneider leading off the game with a bomb, setting the tone while.

[Kavino]

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, gave him some gas money by the time we got to the car.

[Covino]

Did you give him some gas money? Cheapskate.

[Kavino]

It was on his way, but now I have to. Because you said that.

[Covino]

That's right. Cause an Uber would have cost you at least $50 here in LA. 75 with traffic, no gas money. Yeah, man, at least $2.

[Kavino]

$2? At least $2. Well.

[Covino]

Cause rich owes me money first, so I'm not gonna be, you know, giving that away.

[Kavino]

Where's my $2? Where's my $2? We leave here, and the game was just about to start. Danny puts on the local affiliate 570, and we're like, wait a minute, how is it already 2 nothing. It was one of those, like. All right, Danny, stop the car. Let me look on Twitter real quick.

[Covino]

Don't you hate that? That is the worst, by the way. The worst feeling. You missed like two. Seriously.

[Danny G]

By the way, some jabroni cut us off as we were trying to get on the freeway. So we almost did stop the car.

[Covino]

And Danny G nailed it in our pre show. Meeting. We always say you got to 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.

[Dan Byer]

Holla.

[Covino]

Mookie Betts. But he stepped up, hit a bomb. Vladdy Jr gets up, hits a bomb. Now the Dodgers are like, oh, no. Gripping the bats extra tight. And you're seeing it with Freddie 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 going to be a game seven, guys. There's going to be a game seven.

[Kavino]

I could George Foreman guarantee there'll be a game seven, which is the highest form of guarantee, I guarantee.

[Covino]

You know why? 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.

[Kavino]

By the way, you talked about missing moments in big games. How aggravating. You ever at a game, it doesn't even need to be a postseason game, but you pick the minute to go grab a beer or a hot dog and that's when someone hits a home run. Yes. Did you see Freddie Freeman's aunt said that she just caught his game winning home run in the 18th inning. She was looking for, I think it was like late, late inning coffee or ice cream or something. And Freddie Freeman's aunt said I almost missed his home run.

[Covino]

Oh, that's so crazy, right? All the family's there, everybody's tuned in. I mean, we're on the edge of our seat. Imagine if you're related to these players. That's a whole other thing. And Rich already pointed it out. Davis, Schneider, he's that weenie with the mustache who's in for Springer. Real scrappy guy. Again, it's about the key players that step up. And he's one of those dudes. One of the most heart touching, heartwarming, heart tugging moments.

[Kavino]

Was that your favorite Jess Christine Aguilera song?

[Covino]

What?

[Kavino]

Weenie with a mustache?

[Covino]

No.

[Kavino]

Oh, that's Genie in a Bottle Weenie. He's a weenie with a mustache.

[Covino]

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. No, 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. 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.

[Kavino]

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 have a question based on what you just said, sure. Surprised 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?

[Covino]

I think you as a human, right?

[Kavino]

Well, that's what I am.

[Covino]

Yeah. Well, unless you're some sort of cave person with no heart, you're rooting 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.

[Rich]

No way.

[Covino]

And you have this human, man to man moment with the guy. You're not gonna root against him. If you have a loser would do that.

[Kavino]

If you have a true kind moment with Schneider's dad, right? Like, hey, what's your name? Bob. Oh, hey, Bob. Good to meet you.

[Covino]

Bob Schneider.

[Kavino]

Yeah, I'm a big Dodgers guy. How you a Blue Jays fan, man? My son. Your son is David Snyder. I think you almost need to root for your team, but also in that moment, be like, all right, I'm gonna root for your kid. Just not to get any big hits.

[Covino]

Like, all right, you're rooting for his kid to hit a single or double or something.

[Danny G]

Oh, too late. Your kid. Home run.

[Kavino]

You suck.

[Covino]

Yeah, home run. I don't know, your 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 them. Look, no one was hitting you, Savage. Anyway, 12 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 the 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.

[Danny G]

No, you got to give him run support.

[Covino]

Yeah, you got to give him run support. So props to him.

[Kavino]

I do wonder when you see some of these postseason heroes like you, Savage. Young dude, as we said.

[Covino]

Young family kid, too. Another great story.

[Kavino]

Ya, Savage, as we pointed out, I believe he started the year in Little League, then he played Pony Ball, then he played Babe Ruth.

[Covino]

That's exactly.

[Kavino]

And then he played Connie Mack, and then I think he played in the Mexican League. Then he went to the doctor, and.

[Covino]

Then I think he went to Japan for a second.

[Kavino]

Then 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?

[Covino]

Yeah. The start of a superstar. Or is he just having a superstar moment?

[Kavino]

Like, of course I'm going to tie it to my Mets because that's what I know best. Remember at the end of the year, they brought up that kid McClain. Yeah. And he was untouchable. And you're like, yo, if he had a full season, he'd be like the Cy Young. That was a month and a half. Sample size.

[Covino]

Is he lightning in the bottle, or is this the start of an amazing career?

[Kavino]

Say, like, wow, Blue Jays win it or not. Next year they have another ace.

[Covino]

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.

[Kavino]

For game six one. And then after six is what?

[Covino]

Six, seven.

[Kavino]

Thank you.

[Covino]

Thank you.

[Kavino]

Which, by the way, according to Dictionary.com, this is embarrassing became the 2025 word of the year. I'm like, it's not even a word.

[Covino]

Six, seven.

[Kavino]

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 beat 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 Allie Ally, 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.

[Covino]

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.

[Kavino]

What are you saying?

[Covino]

No, no, no. This has nothing to do with you. I'm just saying whoever. Whoever she was with at the time.

[Kavino]

I don't know. I'm trying to decide how. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

[Covino]

It has nothing to do with you.

[Kavino]

Texas girls with doofy taste.

[Covino]

No, I'm getting this.

[Kavino]

You're.

[Rich]

You're great. You're great.

[Covino]

This has nothing to do with you. I'm saying whoever she was with, I. I seen the show. I see where they go.

[Kavino]

So her friend and our mutual. Our one mutual friend, Ally, said, that's good, because a single hot 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 theory.

[Covino]

It's easier to beat the one man than a bunch of people.

[Kavino]

It's beezy.

[Covino]

Especially in a world of social media.

[Kavino]

It's easier to outshine one guy that's failing than everyone and. But you're meddling. Then I would say I'm married with two beautiful children. Yeah, you won. Meddle away. I won.

[Dan Byer]

You did, yeah.

[Kavino]

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. 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 years. If things stay the same, they're not going to get past that team.

[Covino]

It's not even that they play small. 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 all the 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 hard.

[Kavino]

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?

[Covino]

That's. That's totally the thinking.

[Kavino]

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 the Team.

[Covino]

I like your tie in, though. Again, this. This stems from relationship thinking. The one man to beat theory does translate in sports as the one team to beat theory. And I think if they're the team, how do we beat them? And you. You draft players and you get players to combat their main players, and that's how you play the game.

[Kavino]

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 it or not. Danny, you would love to hear that. I think they're going to win in.

[Danny G]

The game seven as long as you're not in attendance to jinx them like.

[Dan Byer]

You did the best.

[Kavino]

Maybe I shouldn't give my son his Mookie 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, all right, well, how do we build our National League team to get past them? Because that's really the goal.

[Covino]

By the way, how did you end up beating this guy? You can't, like, leave us with a cliffhanger.

[Kavino]

He was a jealous Stallone. 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. Hey, I'm not jealous. You're calm, easy, breezy, Calmer than you.

[Danny G]

So you send flowers to their house.

[Kavino]

Calmer 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 aren't a thing. So I had to find her home address. And I thought I found her home address, and I found her dad's address 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? Whoa. Was the quote, hey, his name is Rich Davis, all right?

[Covino]

And he won her heart.

[Kavino]

Yes, and I won her heart.

[Covino]

One man to beat theory.

[Kavino]

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 try to figure out, like, how do you contain a team with the Splash Brothers at the time, like, when Clay and Steph were just beating everyone with the three pointer, like this.

[Covino]

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.

[Kavino]

But 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 the missing piece?

[Covino]

It's hard to be a player or a team that never gives up. And when you got a battle against a team like the Blue Jays who just swing and put the ball in play and make contact, it's very tough.

[Kavino]

What's the mission?

[Covino]

It always goes back again. We're talking baseball. It's a 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, 12 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.

[Kavino]

Is it an ace? Is it in football?

[Covino]

Saying, it's always going to help, dude. You need a guy who could pitch like a Savage all the time.

[Kavino]

Dan Byer. You know, it comes to mind for 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. Deion Sanders, and that was what helped get them over the hump.

[Dan Byer]

Yeah. And then Dallas is like, we need one guy to beat the 49ers, so we'll take Dion from him.

[Kavino]

And then the next year, then they win.

[Dan Byer]

Same thing.

[Covino]

So true.

[Rich]

It's true.

[Dan Byer]

I think it's easier in football, though, than. And honestly in the NBA.

[Covino]

NBA. Always looking for that big guy to compete with the other big guy.

[Dan Byer]

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 and trades.

[Kavino]

Yeah.

[Dan Byer]

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 crapshoot, you know, aside from the surefire first round picks that even those are sometimes.

[Kavino]

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 years, there'll be a Total mission to like. All right, what's this? What's the equation to stop him?

[Covino]

Need another 7 foot 5 giant stilts?

[Kavino]

Yeah, go find the next George Murison with some actual abilities.

[Covino]

There is no way to stop that guy right now.

[Dan Byer]

But Trey 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 50 points and his 10 rebounds, but as long as he doesn't have 15 assists, we should be not. We should be good, but then we have a chance.

[Kavino]

Well, I agree with Dan by 100%. And I had one last final thought on the World Series game six tomorrow. And then we're going to get into some NFL. We 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 trick or treating for a kid? Usually? What? A little kid's bedtime's like 8 o', clock maybe, maybe 9 o' clock on a Halloween night, Late afternoon, early evening, five to eight. Oh, you mean the three hour window of World Series game six?

[Dan Byer]

Damn it.

[Kavino]

How many moms and dads are going to 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, bunch of dads.

[Covino]

Looking at their phone the whole time.

[Kavino]

With one airpod in say thank you. Holding up their phone. You're going to. I can't wait to see this scene tomorrow because it's going to be hilarious because I'll be doing the same. But look around anywhere, but especially in LA or on the west coast, people are going to be checking out the game during the exact time frame. Kids will be trick or treating.

[Covino]

Exactly going to happen.

[Danny G]

And this stinks. This is the first year I'm going to take Koa Me and Brenda are going to take Koa out to Trick or Treat. He's Lightning McQueen. So I was thinking, aha, I know I'll use my iPad as his carplay because he's a car.

[Dan Byer]

Or.

[Kavino]

Or just tell me he's Lightning McQueen. We're going to do this really quick, go to two houses to go.

[Covino]

But you know what?

[Kavino]

Danny G 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, you're. You're zoned in. Trick or 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 Jays. Smart. Do you think you want to be interrupted every two minutes for a trick or treater?

[Covino]

It's gonna happen.

[Dan Morgan]

Yeah.

[Covino]

Cause kids are back out again. There's been, there was a few years where like where did all the kids go? Now it seems like they're back at it again. Danny G. You know, you could do too. You know, when you go up to the people's houses with your kid, you could just look into their. See you into their living room and see if you can get the score into the tv.

[Danny G]

I was going to mention some of the cool houses in the past have had TVs out on the rollers. Like what rich ass set up with the sporting event on so people can still see what's going on.

[Covino]

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 or living the deadlift.

[Kavino]

Well, anyone in the Pacific time zone? 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.

[Dan Byer]

I remember.

[Kavino]

You know, I didn't have kids yet, but I went to the World Series in 2015 on Halloween night. 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 by Are your kid doing a little trick or treating tomorrow?

[Dan Byer]

Oh yeah, yeah. I'm not sure what the plan is.

[Kavino]

Exactly, but did you do trunk or treat at your school? That's my new favorite thing.

[Dan Byer]

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. But we have people who sit out.

[Kavino]

In their driveways with tables and sitting in the front, all that. Yeah.

[Dan Byer]

Like it's their hang. So there will be people with TVs and the Dodger game will be out there.

[Kavino]

So it Won't be as there's houses that hand out adult beverages.

[Dan Byer]

Yes.

[Kavino]

They're like, hey, trick or treat, kids. And they'll offer the parents like, hey, you want a beer? You want a glass of wine? Like it's a thing now. It's, it's going to be a fun night. But trunk or treat might be the one thing Kavino and I, it's, it.

[Covino]

Just adds for more excitement, honestly.

[Kavino]

But you and I, trunk or 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, how lame. What happened to trick or treating?

[Covino]

The wussification of America.

[Kavino]

Yeah, I remember being no more trick or treat. 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.

[Covino]

So.

[Kavino]

And I get to chill. I don't have to walk around the neighborhood.

[Covino]

Oh yeah, because it's in tandem with.

[Kavino]

Yeah, trick or treat.

[Covino]

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 in a half hour.

[Kavino]

Yeah. Kavino and Rich on Fox Sports Radio. You want to come back in another life as a hot chick one day? You ever think about what that life might be like?

[Covino]

Have you seen Sydney Sweeney in the past 24 hours? My goodness. Jesus, if you haven't seen those pictures, she's breaking the Internet. Cavino and Rich, Iowa. Sam playing some old school white stripes. He's on the ones and twos. Danny G. Super producing. And of course we got a live chat going. Chime in live because we're streaming live on YouTube. Covino Enrich FSR. 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 5 stars because anything less is uncivilized. Covino and Rich, wherever you stream your podcasts.

[Kavino]

And I bring up the whole do you want to come back as a hot chick? Not as just a random hypothetical Livy Dunn goo likely the future Mrs. Paul.

[Covino]

Skeens power couple be Paul Skeens than Livy Dunn. Because I get to reap the benefits of a Livy Dunn and pitch in the big leagues.

[Kavino]

That is true.

[Covino]

So can I just come back as him?

[Kavino]

But better looking looks way better with the beard.

[Covino]

No mustard helps. Yeah.

[Kavino]

So I bring it up because you remember Livy Dunn. The only criticism ever of the super hot LSU gymnast was she's cheering on skiings, lifts her arms and she had gross pit stains. Do you remember this moment? I was Sam, do you remember the Libby Dunn pit stain moment?

[Covino]

Yes.

[Kavino]

And nothing she could do could gross me out. So you know, I would say I was like, could I buy that shirt on you?

[Dan Byer]

No, I didn't go that far.

[Kavino]

So she now the one little quote blemish.

[Covino]

She's a human being. Exactly.

[Kavino]

But the one little like look at.

[Covino]

Her sweating through a shirt.

[Kavino]

Pit stains. She now landed apparently some big deal with secret deodorant and she's a new face of the company.

[Covino]

Wow.

[Kavino]

So like when you're a hot chick.

[Covino]

Turning dilemmas into deliminate.

[Kavino]

When you're a hot talented woman that looks like she does and you're business savvy, you take that little dilemma and as you said, turn it into dilemmonade.

[Covino]

There you go.

[Kavino]

Look at that. So congrats to Livy Dunn, the new face of secret deodorant.

[Covino]

All right. And you know, it's like Jaylen Brown.

[Kavino]

He needs to be the new spokesman for some type of hair product.

[Covino]

You know, I wouldn't be surprised. Like, he got some.

[Kavino]

Like, if there was some new product, some like a. Like a hair paint or a lot.

[Covino]

Of people 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.

[Danny G]

Yeah.

[Covino]

There's a deal in play. I'm sure.

[Kavino]

You don't think there's some male hair care products like a thickener, like a thicket 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 Jalen Brown blow hair products. Jalen Brown is gonna be the guy that's like Jalen Brown here for blank, make a couple more million as if he needs it or he's got the.

[Danny G]

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.

[Covino]

Hey, if we're giving props, by the.

[Kavino]

Way, the hair growth serum that they're saying could be true.

[Covino]

Yeah, I've seen that.

[Kavino]

Yeah, they're saying it could end baldness.

[Covino]

I want to give props to, well, a few people. You know, we keep talking about wembanyama, 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.

[Rich]

Who knows?

[Covino]

But it's going to be. Who's the goat? 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 2 inches and just playing way more dominant than they talk about.

[Kavino]

When he saw the Sydney Sweeney picture.

[Covino]

No, no.

[Kavino]

Oh, height wise.

[Covino]

I'm sorry, Height wise. My bad. 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 Reaves has been playing out of his mind.

[Kavino]

I almost feel like his dominance is poorly timed for him.

[Covino]

Like too many points in the like past two games.

[Danny G]

We did mention how he set that record or is one of the record.

[Covino]

Setters for the Lakers come up. Yeah, but still the way he's playing. And again the game winner, it's like he had a bad night. He had 28 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. We always knew he was bad, but like he's really bad. Like he's a good.

[Kavino]

He's a bad.

[Covino]

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 28 points yesterday still has the game winning shot. So again, playing like a beast, but it's going under the radar because we're talking much World Series and everything else.

[Kavino]

If this was happening any other time, 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.

[Covino]

Cause he's in a 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.

[Danny G]

I need Reeves to rub the top of bets head.

[Covino]

Yeah, exactly. Needs some of that. Needs some of that.

[Kavino]

And when you think of it, when he has the ability to play like that, if that Lakers 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. Do those points now just be. Are they taken away from Austin Reeves and like redistributed?

[Danny G]

Oh, there was a popular sports website this morning throwing out there that the Lakers should consider trading Ree. And of course in the comments everybody was furious saying, you can't do that.

[Covino]

Right now, but the stock's not going to get higher than it is.

[Kavino]

Right?

[Danny G]

That's what they were saying.

[Covino]

Yeah, 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.

[Kavino]

Well, we're going to talk some Halloween. We're going to go into our crystal ball, talk some NFL as we enter Week nine. But let's go to Dan Beyer for an update. Db, who knows? I'm sorry. Go on.

[Dan Byer]

I was just gonna say maybe it'll spur some LeBron trade talks.

[Kavino]

That's always fun, right?

[Dan Byer]

Yes.

[Covino]

Honestly, I thought that's what he was gonna say.

[Danny G]

Yeah, Danny, I think Laker fans would be more in favor of that than trading Reeves. For sure.

[Kavino]

No one appreciates LeBron. Hey, Dan Byer, 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.

[Dan Byer]

I don't have anything on today. Yeah, I think I said yesterday he was limited in practice. I believe that was the report. All the days are bl, but I don't have anything today.

[Kavino]

If Mac Jones.

[Dan Byer]

Catch me next hour.

[Kavino]

If Mac Jones stunk, do you think that Purdy would have tried to push it? But since Mac Jones is a pretty suitable backup, they're taking their time more. Yeah, it's a tough question.

[Dan Byer]

I think because they're five and three, they can take their time.

[Kavino]

Yeah. And you were talking yesterday about how the NFC seems like it's sort of set.

[Dan Byer]

I think so, yeah. I don't know about how you look at it, but there's other quarterback news outside of Brock Purdy. Lamar Jackson's back. He's starting tonight for the Ravens against the Dolphins 8:15 Eastern Time to start Week 9. He returns from that hamstring strain as he's been out since injuring it in Week 4 against Kansas City. One note from the Chiefs Running back Isaiah Pacheco didn't practice today because of the knee injury suffered against the Commanders on Monday. Again, he's considered week to week. 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 Kyler 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. While Texans wide receiver Nico Collins has cleared concussion protocol, he'll play against the Broncos coming up on Sunday. University of Texas quarterback Arch Manning remains in concussion protocol, but did practice today. Longhorns ranked 20th in the country. Welcome number nine Vanderbilt to Austin. On Saturday, Nebraska's given at football coach Matt Rule a two year extension that will now run through the 2032 season. The buyout, ESPN says if he leaves after this year would be $15 million. 7.2 million viewers in Canada watched game five of the World Series on Sportsnet. There it ends up being the most watched Toronto Blue Jays game ever in that country. Nationals have hired 33 year old Blake Butera as their new skipper. The youngest manager in the big leagues in more than 50 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 $10 billion sale of the team today from the Buss family to Mark Walter. Guys, back to you.

[Kavino]

How young is the manager?

[Dan Byer]

33.

[Covino]

Damn. 33. Yeah, that's, that's the youngest. Before that was like a young buck.

[Dan Byer]

No. 1972, the Minnesota Twins hired a manager prior to that. Way back when, 1914, 1895, you had some 20 year olds, but it was 1972. Frank Qualici, I believe it could be pronounced Qualisi, was the manager of the Minnesota Twins at 33 years of age.

[Kavino]

I thought it was when the Twins didn't the owner die and he left the team to his grandkid and he ran it was that. Wasn't that the answer?

[Dan Byer]

Yes. Yes. That would have been the right answer. Much better than my gibberish that I told you.

[Kavino]

Hey, Dave, let me ask you something because in a little while we're going to go over, we're going to look into our Halloween crystal ball as we enter Week 9 of the NFL because there's a lot of telling matchups this week and I think you're going to start to see teams pull away and teams fall back. This is around the time of the year where it's like we're going to find out who's for real. The Broncos are are underdogs against the Texans. I know Patrick certain is is out. Mims I believe is out as well. They, the Broncos are a little banged up. But why, why the sense is the sentiment that the Texans are like about to get hot and they, that they beat the Niners last week. They look good, but the Broncos, is there a reason you think they're dogs in this game?

[Dan Byer]

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 were able to stay on the field. I think that's why you have it with Houston getting the slight edge at home nowadays. It's not used to be three points for the home team. It's now usually about a point and a half. Two points. Texans playing a bit better, so I think that's the reason why. But it does stick out a little.

[Kavino]

I agree with that because I 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.

[Dan Byer]

Yeah, right.

[Kavino]

Broncos to be a dog at 6 and 2 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 the telling games and we go old school Cavino, and it involves Halloween and candy and a couple other fun little layers.

[Covino]

All right, do that next right here.

[Kavino]

Hang tight.

Tonight. Mischief Night. We called it Mischief Night growing up Halloween Eve. Go out and cause some mischief. Smash some pumpkins like Billy Corgan.

[Kavino]

Never did anything the night before Halloween Where I grew up, it was on Halloween. Kids were up to no good.

[Covino]

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.

[Kavino]

As a.

[Covino]

We did that too.

[Kavino]

As a grown up and a homeowner now, I'm glad that stuff's over. I'm glad kids don't do that.

[Covino]

It's over. But I don't want to be buying eggs today.

[Kavino]

I don't want eggs and shaving cream on my front lawn.

[Covino]

I hope you get teepeed tonight, but.

[Kavino]

It'S time TP on your bunghole.

[Covino]

It's time for our tire rack play of the day. It was all Blue Jays from the takeoff off snow into the whiners.

[Kavino]

The first pitch of game five of the World Series and it's hit high left field and deep callback at the track. Leaps at the wall and that ball is gone. A first pitch homer for David Schneider and the Blue Jays take the lead in the first. Welcome to game five. Hey, dad, you got that on your iPhone?

Pretty cool moment there. That is courtesy, by the way of, I'm guessing the Blue Jays radio network. There it is in the tire rack play of the day. For over 40 years, Tire Rack has been helping people find the right tires for how, what and where they drive.

[Covino]

Ship fast and free. Backed by free road hazard protection with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation, Tire rack, Tire rack dot com. The way tire buying should be. And again, we say it all the time, but you can't set the tone any better than that. Immediately, the Dodgers backs are against the wall. Snell's like, oh, no. And as a result, you're down 20 because Vladdy hit 1 next. Can't wait for the next game. And can't wait for old school when 50 hits. Gotta do it now. Let's go. There's a surge.

[Rich]

Yay.

[Kavino]

What we gonna do right here is.

[Dan Byer]

Go back.

[Danny G]

Into time.

[Kavino]

Throwing it back for a Thursday.

[Covino]

Old school when 50 hits at 50 after CNR give you the time capsule.

[Kavino]

Topic and we reminisce together.

[Danny G]

Yeah.

[Covino]

So it's October 30th. 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 in houses going out, causing some ruckus.

[Kavino]

I'm not saying I was a goody goody. 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.

[Covino]

As an 80s kid, you'd be scared of the burnout kids, cuz they'd steal your candy or they beat you up on this night. If the older kids caught you out on this night, you.

[Kavino]

You be.

[Covino]

You'd have to run away from.

[Kavino]

You just unlock the memory. I think you unlocked the memory for.

[Covino]

A lot of people.

[Kavino]

You were at that borderline age of like, you're not quite a teenager, right? But you're out on your own. Scared.

[Covino]

Scared.

[Kavino]

If you saw a group of like.

[Covino]

Teens give you a wedgie, you saw.

[Kavino]

A group of teenagers walking down your block, you'd be like, yo, I'm getting out of here. Danny, did you do that on the west coast with like shaving cream and.

[Danny G]

Eggs and all that toilet paper? All of it.

[Covino]

Well, again, October 30th is also. Get this.

[Kavino]

Is this new?

[Covino]

Is this always the day? Get this. 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 candy corn gets so much heat around this time of year.

[Kavino]

Put the emphasis on corn, huh?

[Covino]

Candy corn.

[Kavino]

It's candy corn.

[Covino]

Candy corn.

[Kavino]

That's propaganda from the candy corn lobby. They just want you to get. They want you to buy more candy corn. I love me some candy corn. We have a theory about it, but I do want to say. Say you talked about the eggs and the shaving cream on Mischief night. 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. You throw some 102 mile an hour heat like you're Henriquez out of the bullpen.

[Danny G]

You're the pelter wa.

[Kavino]

Like I feel like that's what I.

[Danny G]

Want to do, Uncle Rico.

[Kavino]

Now, candy corn. There's a theory here on Kavino and Rich. There's not a household in the United States or Canada. What's up, Toronto?

[Danny G]

Eh?

[Kavino]

There's not a household that's not slightly divided on their feelings on candy corn.

[Covino]

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.

[Kavino]

I love candy corn. What is the flavor of candy corn? My wife. My wife hates it. My daughter loves it.

[Covino]

I love it.

[Kavino]

My son hates it.

[Covino]

I love it. Are we a show divided? Hey, hold that thought. Are we a show divided? But Rich, your theory is there's not a house that's not divided.

[Kavino]

There's not a house that's unanimous on their love or hate of candy.

[Covino]

Corny. I put my family to 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 was like, I hate candy corn, yo.

[Dan Byer]

Go garbage.

[Covino]

Candy corn's garbage, yo. Ever since I was a kid, I.

[Danny G]

Hated sugar, corn syrup, honey, artificial flavor.

[Kavino]

What is the flavor like? What's the taste?

[Danny G]

It's the sweet honey sugar.

[Kavino]

I feel as though you're insinuating you're not team Candy Corn. I am not.

[Covino]

Oh, see? They go divided. Show divided. Proving the point.

[Kavino]

There is not a show, not a family. Damn buyer, yay or nay on the candy corn.

[Covino]

Thumbs up.

[Kavino]

He started with thumbs down.

[Dan Byer]

In fact, double thumbs up.

[Kavino]

Me too.

[Covino]

By the way, 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.

[Kavino]

It's powerful.

[Covino]

Exactly.

[Kavino]

It's.

[Covino]

No, but it's exactly like a payday. No, it does.

[Kavino]

I can rock that.

[Interviewer]

I can rock it.

[Covino]

So you could 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 the 80s kids, your parents would always say, let me check for razor blades or let me make sure.

[Kavino]

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. I have a number one answer on the board. So we'll get to all that.
