·1 hr 32 min·5 clips

The hosts reveal they're babysitting Snoop Dogg's podcast after he bailed last-minute to care for his actual baby.

The episode begins with hosts Rowdy, Reed, and Big City explaining they are recording remotely post-COVID. They joke about Snoop Dogg's last-minute cancellation, leaving them to 'babysit' his podcast. Conversation shifts to Halloween: Rowdy describes a free pumpkin-carving event in Indianapolis with pre-dug pumpkins and cookie-cutter tools. He proposes a business where teenagers hollow out pumpkins door-to-door for a fee. The hosts reminisce about childhood pumpkin smashing and getting karma as adults. They discuss Halloween in New York City and past costumes, including Big City's 'Between Two Ferns' outfit and Reed's pope costume. Sports segments start with the 'Commish Cast' analyzing Notre Dame's victory despite quarterback Drew Pine's poor performance. The hosts debate the first College Football Playoff rankings, criticizing Ohio State's #2 spot and Clemson's inclusion. They predict SEC chaos with Tennessee, Georgia, and Alabama. Rowdy gives NFL picks for week nine, including Eagles over Texans. Headlines cover Dan Snyder potentially selling the Washington Commanders, with speculation Jeff Bezos might buy them. The longest segment examines Kyrie Irving's promotion of the anti-Semitic documentary 'Hebrews to Negroes,' detailing its claims about black Hebrews and Jewish control. The hosts compare Hebrew Israelite beliefs to Nation of Islam, Scientology, and QAnon, discussing their appeal to athletes like Kanye West. They note Kyrie's Lakota heritage and the dangers of 'doing your own research.' The episode ends with a story about NASCAR driver Ross Chastain using a video game tactic to win a race by riding the wall.
