Chris and Sean are giddy after the Dodgers and Blue Jays deliver an instant World Series classic — 18 innings of pure baseball brilliance capped off by Freddie Freeman's walk-off home run. They relive every tense moment, share their game-day superstitions, and reflect on growing up as lifelong Dodger fans listening to Vin Scully paint perfect pictures through the radio. Then it's on to the latest chapter of Democratic insanity. From Sandy Cortez's (aka AOC) insistence that “they're not the crazy ones,” even as New York prepares to elect a Marxist anti-Semite as mayor, to the Left's outrage over President Trump's new White House ballroom replacing the outdated East Wing, Chris and Sean break it all down with sharp wit and perspective.

TVC 710.2: Rich Podolsky, author of Madden & Summerall: How They Revolutionized NFL Broadcasting, talks to Ed about the so-called “contest” between Pat Summerall and Vin Scully in the early weeks of the 1981 NFL season over who would welcome John Madden's permanent on-air partner on CBS; how the commercials Madden did for Lite Beer from Miller helped sell then-CBS president Van Gordon Sauter on Madden's appeal to audiences; how the introduction of the Telestrator (aka the CBS Chalkboard) allowed Madden to become “America's nutty football professor”; and how Rich's personal connection with Madden—which began in the early 1970s, when Rich was a beat writer for the Miami Dolphins, and which developed further when Rich worked for ABC and CBS—gives Madden & Summerall tremendous depth and insight. Madden & Summerall is available wherever books are sold through Lyons Press.

“My life has often forced me to follow the Super Bowl in unusual circumstances. The first Super Bowl found me in boarding school in England, huddled under my bedclothes with an illegal transistor radio.” –Pico Iyer In this episode of Deviate, Rolf and Pico talk about the novelty of two travel writers talking about the Super Bowl, and Pico’s NFL fandom (4:00); how sports can be a therapeutic diversion from the more serious aspects of life, and which players are Rolf and Pico’s all-time favorites (13:00); Pico and Rolf’s old articles for Sports Illustrated, and how narratives attach themselves to sporting contests (21:00); and what Pico’s plan and predication is for the 2025 Super Bowl (32:30).

Today's Rapid Fire topics include: * On a scale of 1 to 10...How surprised are you that Notre Dame stayed ahead of both Texas A&M and Indiana in both polls this week? * College Football Playoff projections out this week have Notre Dame as the No. 9 seed playing No. 8 Tennessee in the first round. The winner would get No. 1 Oregon in the first round. We have thoughts on that. * We hear Marcus Freeman's comments on guard Billy Schrauth returning for the Irish against Navy and discuss what it could mean going forward. * We hear and discuss Riley Leonard's comments on what's changed for the Irish quarterback during his current run of hot play. * After beating LSU Saturday night, Texas A&M head coach Mike Elko had this to say: “This is a real program. It's not fake. It's not a politician running this program, talking fast and BS-ing everybody. This is a real program and for all the recruits out there, this is a real place.” Was Elko talking about Brian Kelly, Jimbo Fisher or both of them? * One of the most insane endings to the Bears – Commanders game yesterday when Jayden Daniels 52-yard Hail Mary deflected into the hands of Noah Brown in the end zone with no time on the clock. What did you think about Bears DB Tyrique Stevenson...who was taunting the crowd in Washington during the play....and then ultimately tipped the ball to Brown? * When Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman ended Friday's game one of the World Series with a grand slam...Fox announcer Joe Davis copied Vin Scully's iconic “she is gone” call from game one of the 1988 series that Scully used for Kirk Gibson's walk-off home run. Was Davis' call a rip-off or appropriate sampling of Scully?

SERIES 3 EPISODE 55: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:44) SPECIAL COMMENT: The obvious problem with John Kelly going on the record and saying yes, I heard Trump say quote “I need the kind of generals that Hitler had” is that a huge number of his supporters will applaud it. And the obvious problem with Jeffrey Goldberg of The Atlantic quoting those who were there as Trump was told the cost of the funeral he'd offered to pay for, for a murdered U-S soldier named Vanessa Guillen, and Trump screamed “It doesn't cost 60-thousand bucks to bury an effing Mexican!” is that even MORE of Trump's supporters will applaud THAT. Because the real, disgusting, nauseating truth behind the revelations in the Goldberg Atlantic piece is that it touches the third and FOURTH rails of Donald Trump's America: many of his people believe whoever is in charge SHOULD be supported by and in fact kept in power by “the kind of generals Hitler had.” The antisemites in the Trump cult love it. And the ones who aren't antisemites just authoritarians love it even if they're queasy about the antisemitism. And the ones who aren't antisemites or authoritarians but have always secretly believed the word “Democracy” was just another brand name or FLAVOR love it because it posits a kind of America not just where MIGHT makes RIGHT, but where ONLY might makes right. And if there is anybody missing from the Trump Coalition of Evil, anybody who ISN'T inspired by “I need the kind of generals that Hitler had” they are certainly covered by “It doesn't cost 60,000 bucks to bury an effing Mexican” because if violence and militarism are the Trumpian third rail, racism and specifically anti-Hispanic racism are the FOURTH rail. MEANWHILE:19% of Republicans think if Trump loses he should just seize power (28% of Mormon Americans). The latest great polling numbers for Kamala Harris? In July she was getting less than half of voters under 35. She's now getting 60% And it sounds ridiculous: Ex-Flamenco Correspondent and Trump concierge judge Aileen Cannon as Attorney General? Honestly - how much more could she do for Trump than Merrick Garland has? B-Block (26:29) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Jeremy Peters of The New York Times says on MSNBC (with help from Katy Tur) that Kamala Harris is not as clear in her speaking as is Trump. Newsweek Magazine isn't certain if that photo of Trump in a Pittsburgh Steelers 100 pounds lighter and 40 years younger MIGHT BE A FAKE. And Trump's own campaign can't spell "Steelers" - and in a very Freudian way. C-Block (36:05) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: More of my atypical World Series previews: Why I'm adopting ex-Yankees manager Ralph Houk's attitude towards the team he, like I, grew up with: "Piss on the Yankees."See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
