Brett & Danielle are back for a spooky Halloween episode in which the scariest thing is the friendship torn apart by international baseball strife. Yes, Brett's Los Angeles Dodgers are on the precipice of being squashed by Dani's Toronto Blue Jays, so we devote an inordinate amount of time to the conclusion of the World Series. Danielle asks many appropriate questions such as "why Shohei pitch and hit?," "who Mookie Betts?" and "why no one like George Springer?"Fully riveting stuff for the Big Brother fans, I'm sure.Later in the episode, Brett talks about the ascendance of Sage on Survivor 49 and the duo praise the surgical prescience of The Chair Company's critique of late-stage capitalism.
