So Lino is back from Italy, and what we're presuming is a live show on Monday (although if I was him, I would have taken Monday off).

What can we expect this week?
• Lino should have plenty of stories about Italy. His mom was there, so we should get a dose of Mama Rulli. Plus, I'm sure Lino will wrap up his dad's visit (if his dad isn't still there on his couch).

• The Minnesota Vikings are undefeated this season (7-0) when Lino is in the country. When he was gone to Italy, they lost to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Will Lino explain this phenomenon, and take credit for Minnesota's success?

• Is this the week the show gets a new phone screener? That's just speculation on my part, but it would be good timing to have the person start after Lino's vacation.

• Will Lino take advantage of Halloween candy on sale?

• Will Maureen book Brett Favre, a practicing Catholic, to be on the show?

• Will Lou do pushups for charity?

Tune in this week to The Catholic Guy to find out! 4-7 p.m. eastern on the Catholic Channel, Sirius 159 and XM 117!

P.S. We've disabled comments to everyone but writers on the blog. Many reasons for doing so, but one of the main ones is that we like to keep everyone accountable, and it's easier to do so when all the identities are well known, instead of an anonymous poster. And by doing so, we hope to direct more traffic and comments to linofans.com. We hope you understand!
