Episode Description
 
Should the University of Utah have apologized to Pat McAfee? We weigh in on the College GameDay controversy and the early kickoff stirring up Holy War fans. Plus, the “switch witch” debate: Would you trade your kids’ Halloween candy for toys, buy it back or let them enjoy their haul?
We also discuss caffeine pouches and why some schools are banning them, rising holiday shipping and toy costs, and the deceptive-pricing allegations against Dollar General. Investigators share a breakthrough in a Utah murder case more than 50 years old related to Ted Bundy.  We end with the most mispronounced words, the word of the year and the AI question of the day.
