In this extra long episode to get you ready for the weekend, Darren Smith and John Gennaro discuss the San Diego Padres' search for a new manager and wonder which journalist will break the news when it happens.

The guys then talk about the World Series, starting with how they're going to watch while passing out candy to trick-or-treaters tonight, and really focusing in on Blake Snell's comments after he lost game 5 for the Dodgers. That brings us to "Rate That Take", where Charles Barkley talks about the difference between coaches back in his day and today.

Darren and John then take turns ranking their top 5 sporting events of the weekend that they're looking forward to watching, spending extra time on San Diego FC, who are welcoming back Hirving "Chucky" Lozano in a substitute role in Portland on Saturday.

Finally, because it's Friday, the guys pull out some new recommendations in another episode of Try This!
