Chris Rongey and Amy Marxkors welcome guests John Hancock and Michael Kelley to discuss pressing issues, from the final ARPA fund distributions to the Cardinals’ TV broadcast dilemma. They dive into the 2022 election landscape, examining early voting in Missouri, Kamala Harris’s lead in the polls, and Trump’s policy proposals, including tariffs and tax reform. Hancock and Kelley weigh in on the influence of third-party candidates and economic policies before wrapping up with a lighthearted discussion about a French Bulldog's airline troubles and a Rolex watch that soared in value after a trip to space.

In the next hour, Chris and Amy embrace the Halloween spirit with Scott Jagow, who shares insights about the Handlebar in the Grove, a bicycle-themed bar transformed into a "Haunted Bar" for October. They discuss the vibrant community atmosphere fostered by the bar's owner, Tatiana, an immigrant from Moscow, before shifting to World Series talk, where Scott reflects on his lifelong Dodgers fandom and the cultural significance of figures like Fernando Valenzuela.

In the final hour, Chris and Amy welcome Polo Ascencio, the voice of the Cardinals’ Spanish broadcast, live from Dodger Stadium. Polo shares his excitement for the World Series and reflects on the impact of the late Fernando Valenzuela on the Latino community. They also pay tribute to Jennifer Farmer, former Y98 radio host, who bravely battled breast cancer and passed away at 49. The episode concludes with the No Prize Football Pick 'Em Challenge featuring Alexa Datt, studio host on FanDuel Sports Network Midwest, and listener Drew, making their picks for the upcoming NFL games.
