- 0:01Speaker 1: The news, opinions, commentary, and interviews. You need to start
- 0:05Speaker 1: your day. You're listening to the West Carrol Morning Show.
- 0:10Speaker 2: Wednesday morning, twenty ninth day of October. I'm Wes, thanks
- 0:16Speaker 2: for joining me. Two more days till how Halloween, Hell Louis.
- 0:22Speaker 2: Season of the Witch Halloween three Season of the Witch
- 0:25Speaker 2: an absolutely underrated movie, cult classic. I know it found
- 0:30Speaker 2: its following later. I will admit the first time I
- 0:33Speaker 2: watched it, I'm like, what is this? Where's Michael Myers?
- 0:35Speaker 2: That's what everybody did. Where's Michael Myers? You know, he's
- 0:39Speaker 2: in the movie for what like eight seconds? Not even that.
- 0:41Speaker 2: I think it's like three seconds. He's just on the
- 0:43Speaker 2: TV for a second. Someone's watching it. That's it supposed
- 0:47Speaker 2: to be an anthology. They didn't want every movie to
- 0:50Speaker 2: be about Michael Myers. They wanted it to be each
- 0:53Speaker 2: movie to be something different. And when they did Halloween two,
- 0:57Speaker 2: everybody thought, well, then all these movies are going to
- 0:59Speaker 2: be about Michael Myers. And then that's not what it
- 1:02Speaker 2: was going to be. No, it was different. It was
- 1:05Speaker 2: about these people making these masks and they masked. Sorry,
- 1:09Speaker 2: I don't want to spoil it. I don't want to
- 1:11Speaker 2: ruin it for you. It's a great it's a classic
- 1:15Speaker 2: Halloween three underrated maybe if you're just tired of watching
- 1:19Speaker 2: the slasher movies and you go, you know what this
- 1:22Speaker 2: year for the holiday Halloween holiday season, that's a mouthful.
- 1:27Speaker 2: It's the first day with this mouth. By the way,
- 1:29Speaker 2: thanks for your patients with me. I know I have
- 1:32Speaker 2: there have been things where I have sounded a bit
- 1:34Speaker 2: different at times post surgery. We're moving on through this
- 1:39Speaker 2: recovery process and I'll be back on stilts for the
- 1:42Speaker 2: Nutcracker coming up in December. Get those tickets now, but
- 1:46Speaker 2: only from River Center Box Office, Rivercenter dot org or
- 1:50Speaker 2: the Columbus Ballet dot org, so you don't get ripped off.
- 1:53Speaker 2: But thank you for being patient with that, because I,
- 1:57Speaker 2: you know this, this I had to learn, not learn.
- 2:01Speaker 2: It's not like I lost my voice completely. I just
- 2:03Speaker 2: had to, you know, build my stamina back up with
- 2:06Speaker 2: my voice. And there's still been a few things. There's
- 2:09Speaker 2: things that I still hear. Maybe you don't hear. I
- 2:11Speaker 2: don't know, but anyway, thanks for your patience with that.
- 2:15Speaker 2: I appreciate all of you. Listenership did not drop off.
- 2:19Speaker 2: In fact, it's picked up since Charlie Kirk. I had
- 2:21Speaker 2: someone ask the other day how things were going, and
- 2:24Speaker 2: I said, sadly it's up, because I feel like it's
- 2:27Speaker 2: been up since Charlie Kirk. And we got some new
- 2:30Speaker 2: people listening really around the world. That's, you know, a
- 2:33Speaker 2: couple of countries I'd never seen anybody listening in before,
- 2:36Speaker 2: and I've heard from some people in other countries. It's
- 2:39Speaker 2: nice to hear from you. I appreciate you jumping in
- 2:41Speaker 2: and you know, taking a listen to what this Yank,
- 2:47Speaker 2: what this American has to say about things. But anyway,
- 2:51Speaker 2: I appreciate all of you being patient with me. This
- 2:53Speaker 2: is you know, been part of this continual process, and
- 2:56Speaker 2: I'm getting close, I guess to the end with all
- 2:59Speaker 2: of it. Once your doctor says you're okay to get
- 3:02Speaker 2: back on stilts, that's and I guess today, maybe yesterday
- 3:06Speaker 2: was the day that I was officially have permission to
- 3:09Speaker 2: get back on stilts, but I haven't needed to just yet.
- 3:12Speaker 2: Rehearsals didn't involve stilts yet, So once we get into
- 3:14Speaker 2: rehearsals with stilts, I'll be back up there. But anyway,
- 3:19Speaker 2: but back to the movie, just me saying that maybe
- 3:25Speaker 2: you get to this point in the holiday season, is
- 3:28Speaker 2: Halloween portion of it at least that you are you know,
- 3:32Speaker 2: maybe you're like, I don't want to do another Scream movie.
- 3:36Speaker 2: I don't want to watch you know, Jason again, or
- 3:40Speaker 2: you know whatever, Freddy, and there's all these options. There's
- 3:43Speaker 2: plenty of options. I'm just saying, maybe you should take
- 3:45Speaker 2: a minute and revisit Halloween three. Yes, it had its
- 3:51Speaker 2: shortcomings and that it wasn't a movie about Michael Myers,
- 3:55Speaker 2: but I think it's underrated and I think let me
- 3:58Speaker 2: just let me offer I was too much time. I
- 4:00Speaker 2: want Halloween three. I promise that was not the intention today.
- 4:04Speaker 2: But I just want to tell you this. If you
- 4:07Speaker 2: watch Halloween three, all right, if this is what you
- 4:10Speaker 2: do tonight or you know, maybe even Halloween evening, Yeah,
- 4:14Speaker 2: trigger treating's done, kids are eating their candy until they
- 4:17Speaker 2: throw up. It's Friday night maybe, and you're not going
- 4:20Speaker 2: out clubbing, you know, you're not going to a Halloween
- 4:25Speaker 2: party whatever on Friday and it's the evening time, and
- 4:28Speaker 2: you just think, man, I'm gonna watch a movie, and
- 4:31Speaker 2: what movie am I going to watch? I just want
- 4:33Speaker 2: I dare you to watch Halloween three and well, I
- 4:38Speaker 2: dare you to watch it, but I dare you to
- 4:40Speaker 2: watch it and try not to pick up on some
- 4:44Speaker 2: of the subtle things that you will also find in
- 4:49Speaker 2: the series, especially season one of Stranger Things. There's some parallels,
- 4:54Speaker 2: there's some things in there, and it's one of those things.
- 4:57Speaker 2: I think when I was watching Stranger Things, you know,
- 5:00Speaker 2: when that when it first premiered, that first season of it.
- 5:02Speaker 2: Uh And I've got a friend who worked on the show,
- 5:06Speaker 2: and uh so, at first for me, it was like,
- 5:09Speaker 2: oh wow, this is a show that he's on. And
- 5:10Speaker 2: then the show was so good and I thought, oh
- 5:13Speaker 2: my gosh, you're like, this is a great like it
- 5:15Speaker 2: was a hit. It was this mega thing, and I'm thought, well,
- 5:18Speaker 2: that's pretty cool that you were involved. But he's been
- 5:20Speaker 2: in things like Walking Dead, which also had that kind
- 5:22Speaker 2: of thing, so that kind of hype and and and fervor.
- 5:28Speaker 2: But I thought, well, I want to I want to
- 5:29Speaker 2: check out, you know, the show, also to support him,
- 5:33Speaker 2: but because you know, you know, hey, I'm looking for
- 5:35Speaker 2: our friend the show. Anyway, I think, oh my gosh,
- 5:39Speaker 2: there's so many things here that are little nods I
- 5:42Speaker 2: feel like too, and Stranger Things not only there's a
- 5:44Speaker 2: lot of Goony's comparisons, but I think the Goony stuff
- 5:47Speaker 2: is there, but also the Halloween three things. So I
- 5:50Speaker 2: think you just check it out. That's my recommendation for
- 5:53Speaker 2: you this year. I want to talk a little bit
- 5:57Speaker 2: about this. This all the Nazi talk, right, and I
- 6:02Speaker 2: think we've all heard it, and I think that there's
- 6:06Speaker 2: people on the left when a politician on the left
- 6:11Speaker 2: seems to forget that things that they've said. Gavin Newsom
- 6:16Speaker 2: is someone who lately has really been caught trying to
- 6:19Speaker 2: deny saying things that he clearly said, things that he
- 6:25Speaker 2: said that were recorded. He denies it, and then they
- 6:30Speaker 2: go back and they play the recordings of him doing it,
- 6:32Speaker 2: and it's like, well, you're just a liar. I'd like
- 6:35Speaker 2: to give people the benefit of the doubt and say, well,
- 6:38Speaker 2: maybe they're just forgetful. But I think this is the
- 6:41Speaker 2: idea of trying to rewrite history. You know, we just
- 6:45Speaker 2: talked about this recently, this whole notion of this big
- 6:48Speaker 2: flip that everybody go, oh that we you know, the
- 6:51Speaker 2: Democrats were pro slavery and pro kkk, like they started
- 7:00Speaker 2: it and that was all the big viit and then
- 7:02Speaker 2: they said no, no, no, and then one day the Democrats
- 7:04Speaker 2: became Republicans and the Republicans became the Democrats, and it
- 7:07Speaker 2: was like one guy, guy when you changed parties. Apparently
- 7:11Speaker 2: everybody changes parties when that happens. I don't know, but
- 7:15Speaker 2: this idea that you can just go back and rewrite
- 7:17Speaker 2: history and you can just say, well, and I understand, Look,
- 7:21Speaker 2: the South very complicated story when it comes to telling
- 7:26Speaker 2: the story. Okay, but this this thing that has been
- 7:29Speaker 2: portrayed as just there was just a flip, that's all.
- 7:33Speaker 2: It was. Everybody just one day that voted Democrats suddenly
- 7:36Speaker 2: was voting Republican. And then all of a sudden, one
- 7:40Speaker 2: day everybody's voting a Republican voting Democrat, and they just
- 7:43Speaker 2: they everybody just shook hands and said we're trading teams.
- 7:46Speaker 2: They traded jerseys and they moved on. And it's a
- 7:48Speaker 2: ridiculous idea. But I digress. Here we go with another
- 7:53Speaker 2: case of politicians now trying to say I didn't say that,
- 7:57Speaker 2: I didn't do that. This isn't what was going on,
- 8:02Speaker 2: and it's it's absurd that they don't remember that this
- 8:06Speaker 2: was recorded, right. It's like if and I'm not talking
- 8:11Speaker 2: about somebody like Biden. Biden forgets things. I get that.
- 8:14Speaker 2: I genuinely believe that when Joe Biden says that he
- 8:18Speaker 2: didn't do something, or he didn't you know, he just
- 8:21Speaker 2: didn't know, he either doesn't remember it or it's because
- 8:25Speaker 2: someone else was doing it for him. And this autopen thing,
- 8:27Speaker 2: we're starting to get really into the weeds now with
- 8:32Speaker 2: the autopen because obviously now we've had this House committee
- 8:35Speaker 2: say is any of this stuff legal? Is this self valid?
- 8:39Speaker 2: And I really don't know how it could be, and
- 8:41Speaker 2: we've talked about that at great length. How is it
- 8:43Speaker 2: possible that you could have a president of the United
- 8:46Speaker 2: States there was probably the victim of elder abuse, someone
- 8:52Speaker 2: that folks working for him, many on the left saw
- 8:57Speaker 2: as an opportunity to go, we had a guy here
- 8:59Speaker 2: who doesn't know what's going on. He doesn't know who
- 9:02Speaker 2: he is some days, and he you know, he's got
- 9:06Speaker 2: these I don't know that he didn't know who he was,
- 9:08Speaker 2: but he seemed to not know who he was some days.
- 9:10Speaker 2: He had issues with speaking, he had issues with staying upright,
- 9:15Speaker 2: he had issues with energy. They said he had issues
- 9:19Speaker 2: with sleeping, but they were feed, force feeding him, sleeping pills, ambient.
- 9:23Speaker 2: His son even admitted to that and said they would
- 9:25Speaker 2: just give him an ambient and you know, he didn't
- 9:28Speaker 2: need it, he didn't have problems sleeping, but they were
- 9:30Speaker 2: giving him ambient. So this to me falls under the
- 9:34Speaker 2: category of elder abuse. If you're keeping someone who is
- 9:38Speaker 2: a senior in your life from even you know, just
- 9:42Speaker 2: living their life day to day or doing you know,
- 9:44Speaker 2: if you're doing the job for them so that it
- 9:47Speaker 2: maybe benefits you, how's that not elder abuse. I've compared
- 9:52Speaker 2: this to you know, there have been people like and
- 9:54Speaker 2: stan Lee is one that was a case where there
- 9:56Speaker 2: were questions about whoever was in charge of him and
- 9:59Speaker 2: his estate and taking him around and he was signing
- 10:01Speaker 2: autographs and there were all these stories of him saying,
- 10:05Speaker 2: you know, where are we or what am I doing today?
- 10:08Speaker 2: Do I have to keep doing this? And it feels
- 10:10Speaker 2: like that's what we went through. And then you had
- 10:11Speaker 2: an autopen that could sign things. I don't know how
- 10:14Speaker 2: any official document could be signed with an autopen. I
- 10:19Speaker 2: don't know how that could happen at any level, much
- 10:22Speaker 2: less at the level of President of the United States.
- 10:25Speaker 2: You're signing pardons for people that supposedly haven't done anything wrong,
- 10:31Speaker 2: but they're getting preemptively pardoned with an autopen while he's
- 10:34Speaker 2: sitting in the crowd as the inauguration's taking place of
- 10:39Speaker 2: the next president, and these kinds of things, and you go,
- 10:41Speaker 2: something's not right here. But this isn't about the autopen.
- 10:44Speaker 2: I just wanted to point out the fact that I
- 10:47Speaker 2: think he gets a little bit of a pass on
- 10:49Speaker 2: some of these things, just shady things going on behind
- 10:52Speaker 2: the scenes that maybe he didn't know about. So his
- 10:55Speaker 2: lack of memory about saying, you know, when he was
- 10:59Speaker 2: running in twenty twenty, when he would say inappropriate things
- 11:03Speaker 2: or sniff people's hair or whatever, those kind of things.
- 11:06Speaker 2: But now I think you maybe get a pass, and
- 11:08Speaker 2: at least in the last two years of his presidency.
- 11:12Speaker 2: But you have some people who basically are you know,
- 11:17Speaker 2: diving into this thing where they're going to try to
- 11:19Speaker 2: rewrite history and change things. And then you got not
- 11:23Speaker 2: just politicians doing it, but occasionally you get a member
- 11:26Speaker 2: of the press that does it, someone in the media
- 11:29Speaker 2: that does it. And I'm really confused in how someone
- 11:34Speaker 2: whose job it is to speak looking at a camera
- 11:37Speaker 2: wearing a microphone or you know, with a microphone pointed
- 11:40Speaker 2: at them, and then they forget that they said something. Now,
- 11:45Speaker 2: I'm not talking about trivial things. I'm just talking about
- 11:48Speaker 2: the inability to remember. It may even be something that
- 11:52Speaker 2: they said, like if you're following it and you're going,
- 11:55Speaker 2: I don't remember these things, I don't know that this
- 11:58Speaker 2: really happened. And we have an example of that, and
- 12:02Speaker 2: I don't know if there's a specific example of her
- 12:04Speaker 2: doing it. I can just basically say this Nicole Wallace
- 12:09Speaker 2: on MSNBC or MS whatever it's called. Now it's got
- 12:14Speaker 2: a different name, doesn't it. Basically on her She's got
- 12:19Speaker 2: a podcast, The Best People, Okay, and she had Illinois
- 12:26Speaker 2: Governor JB. Pritz Girl, Well right away, it's false advertising,
- 12:30Speaker 2: isn't it. I don't know. He may be just a
- 12:33Speaker 2: perfectly fine human being. I don't know, but she had
- 12:36Speaker 2: him on and she basically said that she has no
- 12:39Speaker 2: memory of and that no Democrats, she says, I don't
- 12:43Speaker 2: think any Democrat has referring to She says, no Democrat
- 12:50Speaker 2: has referred to Donald Trump as hitler. None, not one,
- 12:55Speaker 2: not one single Democrat has referred to him as hitler.
- 13:00Speaker 2: She says, I don't think any Democrat has and I
- 13:02Speaker 2: actually think that it's a smear that they project back
- 13:05Speaker 2: onto critics. And then she points out, she said, this
- 13:09Speaker 2: is the new thing now is they're back to digging in.
- 13:12Speaker 2: They were doing this during the during the presidential campaign.
- 13:17Speaker 2: Now we're back to attacking JD. Vance and using him
- 13:21Speaker 2: to attack Trump. And Vance who has addressed the conversation
- 13:26Speaker 2: or the text messages that he had with a friend
- 13:28Speaker 2: where he called Donald Trump cultural heroin and America's hitler
- 13:33Speaker 2: and things like that. So she says, but JD. Vance
- 13:36Speaker 2: called Donald Trump cultural heroin, he called him America's hitler.
- 13:39Speaker 2: I mean, the attacks on Donald Trump as a fascist
- 13:42Speaker 2: came from three generals who worked for him. So she's
- 13:47Speaker 2: denying that any Democrat has done this. She's got to
- 13:51Speaker 2: know that all the times that it's happened, it's been recorded.
- 13:56Speaker 2: And I'm sorry, but you know she's interviewing at the
- 13:59Speaker 2: time JB. Pritzker, who constantly refers to ISIS as some
- 14:04Speaker 2: form of the Gestapo or the secret police and all
- 14:10Speaker 2: these sorts of things. So this notion, this idea that
- 14:14Speaker 2: she doesn't have any memory or knowledge of anyone comparing
- 14:19Speaker 2: Trump to Hitler is absurd. Here's some examples. Hillary Clinton
- 14:27Speaker 2: at the time secretary or was secretary of a state
- 14:29Speaker 2: when she was running for president. Or no, no, no,
- 14:32Speaker 2: this isn't when she was running. This is actually as
- 14:34Speaker 2: recently as two years ago. On the view Hitler was
- 14:39Speaker 2: dually elected, all of a sudden, somebody with those tendencies,
- 14:43Speaker 2: dictatorial authoritarian tendencies, would be like, Okay, we're gonna shut
- 14:49Speaker 2: this down. We're going to throw all these people in jail.
- 14:53Speaker 2: And they didn't usually telegraph that Trump is telling us
- 14:56Speaker 2: what he intends to do. Jasmine Crockett, representative from Texas,
- 15:01Speaker 2: called Trump a timu Hitler. Yeah, and basically a low
- 15:07Speaker 2: imitation want to be Hitler. Representative James Clyburn from South
- 15:13Speaker 2: Carolina has used the Hitler analogy many many times. And
- 15:19Speaker 2: that's just a few. There's a lot. There's a lot
- 15:23Speaker 2: of them. But she has no memory of it. She
- 15:24Speaker 2: doesn't remember any of that. She says, not just that
- 15:27Speaker 2: she doesn't have memory of it, but that she says
- 15:30Speaker 2: that it's, you know, not happened. And this is something
- 15:34Speaker 2: that Republicans are doing to toss it back at them. Well,
- 15:39Speaker 2: we're in uncertain times, and it always feels like even
- 15:44Speaker 2: more uncertain times are just a heartbeat away, and your
- 15:49Speaker 2: time to prepare for those uncertain times is now. It
- 15:54Speaker 2: was actually yesterday, but chances are you didn't prep yesterday.
- 15:59Speaker 2: We're all guilty of it. That means now is the

- 19:22Speaker 2: your garage door maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what
- 19:26Speaker 2: you want it to be, and you need some repair
- 19:28Speaker 2: work done to the outside door. Maybe you need a
- 19:30Speaker 2: brand new garage door completely. Maybe it's making a noise
- 19:34Speaker 2: when your garage door opens and closes. Maybe it's some
- 19:37Speaker 2: sort of installation issue that you've got. With colder or
- 19:40Speaker 2: warmer weather, sometimes that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient.
- 19:45Speaker 2: Maybe you're looking at a situation where you'd like to
- 19:47Speaker 2: add a screen door to your garage door system that
- 19:50Speaker 2: you can put down and you can use your garage
- 19:52Speaker 2: space as a sort of outdoor but indoor. You know,
- 19:57Speaker 2: if you like to work on your own cars in there,
- 19:59Speaker 2: or maybe you just I want a little man cavid.
- 20:01Speaker 2: You'd like to be able to open the door up
- 20:03Speaker 2: and not invite all the insects in. They can do
- 20:06Speaker 2: that for you as well, and again they do after
- 20:08Speaker 2: hours calls. There's nothing worse than that thought of having
- 20:11Speaker 2: your car trapped inside your garage and your garage door
- 20:14Speaker 2: won't open and you need somebody to come help, And
- 20:17Speaker 2: they do those as well. Seven oh six thy five

- 20:28Speaker 2: Morning Show. Right after the break, well, we're now just
- 20:39Speaker 2: a couple of days away from Halloween. Then November first
- 20:42Speaker 2: officially means we're into that Thanksgiving and Christmas season. I know,
- 20:46Speaker 2: people freak out. We don's been enough time talking about Thanksgiving.
- 20:50Speaker 2: I mean, it's a meal holiday and it does deserve
- 20:55Speaker 2: its time. But the point is Thanksgiving and Christmas are
- 20:59Speaker 2: kind of bookends of like a month that is kind
- 21:03Speaker 2: of that whole holiday season. So if you didn't think
- 21:07Speaker 2: we were coming up on it fast, well, now the
- 21:10Speaker 2: Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree has been chosen. They've announced that
- 21:14Speaker 2: this year's tree will come from the Bush family in
- 21:16Speaker 2: East Green Bush, New York, a seventy five year old
- 21:20Speaker 2: Norway spruce standing seventy five feet tall. It will be
- 21:24Speaker 2: seventy five and sing. It'll be cut down on November
- 21:27Speaker 2: sixth and make the trip south to New York City
- 21:30Speaker 2: on November eighth. You almost think it's got this moment
- 21:33Speaker 2: of Hey, you're gonna be the big tree this year. Really,
- 21:36Speaker 2: that's fantastic. Yeah, we're gonna cut you down on November
- 21:39Speaker 2: six Wait what once it arrives in New York. It'll
- 21:42Speaker 2: be put in place and then adorned with over fifty
- 21:45Speaker 2: thousand multicolored led lights and topped with a nine hundred
- 21:48Speaker 2: pounds star covered by three million crystals. The tree well
- 21:53Speaker 2: has the up and coming mayor. Feel about this three
- 21:57Speaker 2: million crystal store that's coming in. I mean, you can't
- 22:02Speaker 2: like it. They could sell this thing off and let
- 22:05Speaker 2: people ride the trains and buses for free. The tree
- 22:09Speaker 2: will arrive in New York City November ninth, and then
- 22:11Speaker 2: it will be lit up in the annual televised tree
- 22:15Speaker 2: lighting ceremony December third. After the holiday season, it'll be
- 22:18Speaker 2: turned into lumber for habitat for humanity. Is your job
- 22:24Speaker 2: aging you? A recent study looked at twenty different professions
- 22:28Speaker 2: and ranked them based on how much they accelerate biological aging.
- 22:33Speaker 2: And they consider things like stress level, exposure to hazards,
- 22:37Speaker 2: physical demands, how long people work each week. I don't
- 22:41Speaker 2: think it's going to be a big shock at what's
- 22:43Speaker 2: number one on the list. And yesterday was a first
- 22:47Speaker 2: responder's day, so a nod to the firefighters that topp
- 22:53Speaker 2: this list. Constant exposure to danger, toxic chemicals, long stressful
- 22:58Speaker 2: hours make it the most aging job despite the risk.
- 23:02Speaker 2: The pay isn't exactly high, which adds financial stress into
- 23:05Speaker 2: the mix. Truck drivers, long hours on the road, little
- 23:10Speaker 2: physical movement, mental exhaustion takes a toll, and not especially
- 23:15Speaker 2: high pay, necessarily tough working conditions all go into that. Chefs,
- 23:21Speaker 2: all the TV shows and cooking channels make the chef
- 23:24Speaker 2: life look great, but there's a lot of pressure, a
- 23:27Speaker 2: lot of time on your feet, burn injuries and things,
- 23:31Speaker 2: a lot of emotional drainage and physical drainage with that.
- 23:35Speaker 2: Lawyers on the plus side of the income is there,
- 23:38Speaker 2: but not a lot of breaks when it comes to
- 23:43Speaker 2: the mental stress side of all of that. Lots of
- 23:45Speaker 2: pressure with those jobs, and then journalists, deadlines, unpredictable schedules,
- 23:53Speaker 2: mental strain. I think it's easier on the journalists though,
- 23:57Speaker 2: if they don't actually have to fact check things and
- 23:59Speaker 2: they're allowed to make things up based on what their
- 24:02Speaker 2: political views are, I would think that would make it
- 24:05Speaker 2: a little easier. Right might depend on where you live
- 24:10Speaker 2: as to whether or not you could survive a zombie apocalypse.
- 24:13Speaker 2: A new study ranked all fifty states on their zombie
- 24:15Speaker 2: apocalypse readiness based on things like population density, percentage, of
- 24:20Speaker 2: water area, number of hospitals, airports, hunting and fishing stores,
- 24:25Speaker 2: military bases. And it looks like the state least likely
- 24:32Speaker 2: to survive the zombie apocalypse would be the folks in
- 24:36Speaker 2: New Jersey, and I guess it has to do with
- 24:40Speaker 2: dense population. Connecticut's second worst, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, California, and New York.
- 24:47Speaker 2: On the other end of the list, Alaska safest place
- 24:50Speaker 2: if a zombie outbreak takes place, low population density, strong
- 24:55Speaker 2: military presence, abundance of fresh water main next on the list,
- 25:00Speaker 2: followed by South Dakota, Montana, and North Dakota all on
- 25:05Speaker 2: this list. So yeah, interesting. I don't think it's any
- 25:09Speaker 2: big surprises in it, especially when you consider that population
- 25:13Speaker 2: density was a big factor in all of that. I
- 25:17Speaker 2: do wonder states like you know, Georgia where they filmed
- 25:22Speaker 2: The Walking Dead. You'd think we'd have some of those
- 25:24Speaker 2: people still here that are more than ready to step
- 25:28Speaker 2: in and fight off the zombies. That's what I'm thinking.
- 25:32Speaker 2: All Right, we're down to crunch time with those Halloween costumes,
- 25:35Speaker 2: and the question is are you dressing your pet up?
- 25:39Speaker 2: This year survey found sixty five percent of pet parents
- 25:42Speaker 2: planning to dress up their dog or cat for Halloween.
- 25:44Speaker 2: Dogs slightly more likely to get a costume than cats,
- 25:48Speaker 2: and apparently there's a lot of the pet owners planning
- 25:53Speaker 2: to wear complimentary costumes to go with their pets. According
- 25:59Speaker 2: to Google Frightgeist trends for twenty twenty five top costumes
- 26:03Speaker 2: four pets, the l Boo Boo Derpy, the tiger that's
- 26:09Speaker 2: from K Pop Demon Hunters. If you're like me and
- 26:11Speaker 2: you had to look it up, I'm saving you having
- 26:13Speaker 2: to look it up. Chicken, I hop, I don't know.
- 26:17Speaker 2: I hop I guess an I hop waitress Crypto. I
- 26:21Speaker 2: would think Crypto would be higher than five. Another Demon
- 26:26Speaker 2: Slayer character, Nazuku Comato, a pickleball champ, Superman thing from
- 26:34Speaker 2: the Adams Family not from Fantastic four, pet Spider Glinda
- 26:39Speaker 2: from Wicked, an ambulance, the Lorax, Elvis, and a flying monkey.
