The Toronto Blue Jays Game 7 win on Monday night was the most watched Jays game ever on Sportsnet.

An average of six million Canadians tuned in to watch the Jays eliminate the Mariners, securing their spot in the World Series final against the Dodgers. The previous most-watched game was Game 6 of the 2015 ALCS which averaged 5.1 million viewers.

Audiences peaked at 8.3 million at around 11 p.m. when Jeff Hoffman got the game’s final out.

There’s a chance those numbers could be broken again. Sportsnet will broadcast the World Series beginning on Friday in Toronto.

Here is the full schedule:

Game 1: Friday, October 24, Dodgers at Blue Jays, 8 p.m.
Game 2: Saturday, October 25, Dodgers at Blue Jays, 8 p.m.

A travel report from Google found the best prices for U.S. Thanksgiving plane tickets tend to be 35 days before you want to travel, so, right now. U.S. Thanksgiving is November 27th this year.

You can still get a decent price up to 24 days before you fly. The best time to book tickets for Christmas is 51 days out; November 4th is 51 days before Christmas, but you’re probably not trying to fly on Christmas Day. So, the time to buy for most people is right around November 1st

Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays are the cheapest days to travel in general, around 13% cheaper than weekends. But the day of the week you book your tickets doesn’t matter much, usually a 1% difference.

Recent rainfall in Arizona is bringing out some rarely seen toadss.

And people are licking them to try to get high. Authorities are telling people not to lick them and to keep pets away from them.

The director of the local Poison Control and Drug Information Center said some people are trying to lick the Sonoran Desert toads, also known as Colorado River toads, to get a high, but the practice can result in illness or even death.

Mushrooms are also appearing after the recent rainfall. Banner Poison Control says it’s difficult to determine which mushrooms are safe to eat. They warned people not to touch mushrooms growing in yards and lawns because they can cause severe stomach problems.
