It’s Halloween week on The Inner Circle as the guys open the show debating the ultimate Halloween candy draft.. Reese’s vs Snickers vs Peanut M&M's and the proper etiquette when it comes to handing out the big bars.

From there, the group discusses the weekend’s biggest surprises: Miami’s blowout win over Atlanta. Matt breaks down how Mike McDaniel and Tua Tagovailoa completely flipped the script, using a physical inside run game and perfectly timed screens to find rhythm. Aaron gives a defensive player’s perspective on what happens when a top-ranked defense walks into a game too relaxed and gets punched in the mouth.

The guys also turn their attention to the surging Colts, who suddenly look like a team built to last behind Jonathan Taylor, Daniel Jones, and a dominant defensive front led by DeForest Buckner. Aaron names Myles Garrett his Player of the Week after a five-sack performance, and the conversation evolves into an honest discussion about what it’s like to be a superstar on a losing team—and how organizations try to convince elite players to stay. Todd gives a candid look behind the curtain at how agents handle those situations, from trade talks to managing expectations inside the locker room.

Later, the crew gets into the chaos of the college football coaching carousel, how false reports can spiral into hours of damage control, and the constant buzz around NIL and the transfer portal. Matt and Zach also discuss the tension between media and coaches, highlighting DeMeco Ryans’ testy exchange with Houston reporters and what real communication between the two sides used to look like.

They wrap with a Halloween two-minute drill: favorite and least favorite candies, best costumes, and a few personal stories that reveal a lot more than anyone expected.

A mix of football insight, personal perspective, and genuine locker-room chemistry — this episode captures everything that makes The Inner Circle unique.
