0:04
Speaker 1: Welcome to the scariest weekend of the year. No, not Halloween,
0:10
Speaker 1: the politicians and everything else going on with that, because
0:12
Speaker 1: they're the scariest people on earth. And yes, of course
0:15
Speaker 1: we've got to talk about the last weekend before the election.
0:19
Speaker 1: Trump's big garbage truck debut that was phenomenal. We'll talk
0:23
Speaker 1: about that, a lot of election fear mongering. We've got
0:25
Speaker 1: to talk about the Dodgers one of the World series
0:27
Speaker 1: that was something. Before we get to that, we got
0:30
Speaker 1: to talk about what really matters Halloween. First of all,
0:33
Speaker 1: welcome to Wicked Radio. Thanks for finding me, Bill Adams,
0:35
Speaker 1: thanks for the downloads and shares, and don't forget this
0:38
Speaker 1: lives as a post on x and YouTube after it's
0:40
Speaker 1: a live stream, but the audio version on Spotify and
0:44
Speaker 1: ihearten Apple and all that other good stuff. But let's
0:48
Speaker 1: get to the stuff. Let's get to what really matters
0:50
Speaker 1: first and foremost before we get to the really scary stuff.
0:54
Speaker 1: Let me be the first to wish you a happy Halloween. Well,
0:59
Speaker 1: there a lot of chatter online that Halloween isn't what
1:02
Speaker 1: it used to be. Every year they try to push this, No,
1:05
Speaker 1: I don't know you hear an anecdotally too. You hear
1:07
Speaker 1: people in conversation, I don't know, we don't get a
1:10
Speaker 1: lot of kids from trick or treating, and I don't
1:12
Speaker 1: think Halloween's that big of a deal. Well, that couldn't
1:15
Speaker 1: be further from the truth. Let's go to the National
1:17
Speaker 1: Retail Federation. They know their stuff because well, their business
1:20
Speaker 1: lives depend on it. According to them, we all of
1:23
Speaker 1: us together as a nation, we're spending eleven point six
1:28
Speaker 1: billion dollars on Halloween this year. Eleven point six big
1:33
Speaker 1: ones billion. It's about one hundred and four bucks per person,
1:36
Speaker 1: which makes about common sense because it's so much candy
1:40
Speaker 1: cost these days. It's about three point eight billion on costumes,
1:44
Speaker 1: three point eight billion on decorations, three point five billion
1:49
Speaker 1: on candy. I think half of that was from me.
1:52
Speaker 1: And a half billion on Halloween greeting cards. Huh, I've
1:57
Speaker 1: never seen one. A half billion's almost on Halloween greeting cards.
2:00
Speaker 1: Those exist, Okay, good for you, Hallmark. All right, About
2:04
Speaker 1: seventy two percent of Americans celebrating this year. I know
2:06
Speaker 1: this is a lot of numbers, but it points out
2:07
Speaker 1: a couple of different things. The top costumes for kids
2:12
Speaker 1: this year you're gonna see the little trick or treaters
2:14
Speaker 1: coming to your door begging for candy. Spider Man's that's
2:18
Speaker 1: a favorite, The classic Ghost, Princess, and the Witch. Interesting
2:23
Speaker 1: that the Witch, an all time classic costume, is still
2:25
Speaker 1: as big as it is Maybe because of that ag up,
2:27
Speaker 1: the show that's on Disney Plus Now, I'm not too sure,
2:29
Speaker 1: but let's get to the good stuff. The top costumes
2:32
Speaker 1: for adults are once again, Witch, Vampire, Cat, and Batman.
2:42
Speaker 1: Twenty four percent of Americans say that they're gonna wear
2:47
Speaker 1: something that they normally wouldn't wear for a Halloween outfit. Now,
2:53
Speaker 1: I said that specifically because they left something out when
2:56
Speaker 1: I listed the adult costumes. You know what the listening
2:58
Speaker 1: was for Witch, Sexy Witch. Okay, we're all adults here mostly,
3:04
Speaker 1: I think. So let's just be honest. There are two
3:07
Speaker 1: holidays during the year where there are people you know
3:10
Speaker 1: in your work life, you see at a party, maybe
3:13
Speaker 1: people in the neighborhood, a neighbor I don't know, or
3:15
Speaker 1: may be married to that person. They go all out,
3:18
Speaker 1: if you know what I mean, on their Halloween costume. Like,
3:22
Speaker 1: but gee, Karen, I've never seen you dressed like that.
3:24
Speaker 1: At the office. It's Halloween, and Karen is showing more
3:28
Speaker 1: than you ever thought you'd show. And I'm not saying
3:31
Speaker 1: against it. I am fully in favor of it, but
3:33
Speaker 1: it is an absolute thing. In fact, more people than
3:36
Speaker 1: ever say that Halloween is an adult tradition. Halloween parties
3:41
Speaker 1: are adult holidays. I'm totally in favor of it. I'm
3:47
Speaker 1: just saying, just be careful if you're out tonight, driving
3:51
Speaker 1: around getting home from work. Speaking of that, be careful.
3:52
Speaker 1: The little kids. Turn your lights on because they're out
3:54
Speaker 1: and about. They can't always see you, so you got
3:57
Speaker 1: to see them. All right, Let's get to what's really scary,
4:00
Speaker 1: the election and the politicians. What scares you about this?
4:04
Speaker 1: This is my little psa. We are now heading into,
4:07
Speaker 1: getting close to anyway, the final weekend before the election.
4:11
Speaker 1: I'm just telling you the fear mongering is everywhere. And
4:15
Speaker 1: let's be completely honest. Okay, it's not just from one side.
4:18
Speaker 1: You're gonna say some of these stories are gonna turn
4:20
Speaker 1: out to be true, some of them, for sure, but
4:23
Speaker 1: there's a lot of stories out there that are just
4:26
Speaker 1: kind of designed to scare you into or out of voting.
4:29
Speaker 1: So I'm just telling you, at this point in time,
4:31
Speaker 1: the Thursday before the Big Tuesday, don't really believe anything,
4:36
Speaker 1: because we've reached that point now where like nobody trusts anybody,
4:39
Speaker 1: and they're coming from both sides. You hear the stories
4:42
Speaker 1: from everybody. Well, I was told to leave line at
4:45
Speaker 1: my voting place, and I was, Okay, maybe I heard
4:50
Speaker 1: a guy talking at work about a bunch of mail
4:52
Speaker 1: in ballots being thrown out. Okay, maybe, And like I said,
4:56
Speaker 1: I'm not doubting that maybe some of them are true.
4:58
Speaker 1: Just take all of this stuff with not one but
5:01
Speaker 1: a couple of grains assault because we're fully into silly season.
5:06
Speaker 1: Can't always trust what you hear, and you're gonna hear
5:09
Speaker 1: a lot of crap from here on out. People are
5:12
Speaker 1: more than willing to lie about these stories. It's not
5:14
Speaker 1: just in media, it's among people, you know, because there's
5:17
Speaker 1: so much on the line for this election. I'm just saying,
5:20
Speaker 1: like I said, it's my PSA, very careful what you hear.
5:23
Speaker 1: But then you got this, speaking of fear mongering. Somebody
5:26
Speaker 1: sent me this and then I actually saw it trending
5:28
Speaker 1: online and I don't completely even understand it yet, but
5:32
Speaker 1: it's an actual thing, that's what I'm talking about. It's
5:35
Speaker 1: a website out there called vote without Fear dot com.
5:40
Speaker 1: I thought, no, okay, guys, it's one of these voter
5:42
Speaker 1: registration sites. And you go to the site and sure enough,
5:45
Speaker 1: it's on there and they have all the information you
5:47
Speaker 1: need out of your register or plug in your zip
5:50
Speaker 1: code and here's your early voting site. Okay, it's a
5:53
Speaker 1: little bit more than that, though. Check this out. Here's
5:57
Speaker 1: the whole focus of the thing, obviously aimed at women. Uh.
6:00
Speaker 1: And the description is a friendly reminder that you don't
6:04
Speaker 1: have to tell your husband a boyfriend who you voted for.
6:07
Speaker 1: He will not and cannot find out who you voted
6:10
Speaker 1: for unless you tell him for more info. And then
6:12
Speaker 1: they have the website and then they have helpful phone numbers.
6:15
Speaker 1: Their first thought was probably what you're thinking right now. Okay,
6:19
Speaker 1: if you're it's sad if you're in this situation, if
6:22
Speaker 1: anybody is male or female. But if you have an
6:26
Speaker 1: issue even figuring out who you're going to vote for,
6:30
Speaker 1: and you don't really trust telling your significant other, you
6:34
Speaker 1: got to really re examine that relationship, don't you. I mean,
6:38
Speaker 1: I mean you really do? You have to look at it.
6:40
Speaker 1: And the other thing is, Okay, if you're in that
6:42
Speaker 1: situation and it's that tense and you're actually living in fear,
6:46
Speaker 1: and sadly a lot of people are in domestic situations,
6:51
Speaker 1: how is this website going to help you? You can
6:53
Speaker 1: get this information anywhere. Okay, Let's say you got an
6:56
Speaker 1: abusive boyfriend or something and they find out that you're
6:58
Speaker 1: you know, you're hiding website and you cleared out your
7:01
Speaker 1: your cookies and you and your cash online because you
7:03
Speaker 1: were going on a website called Vote without Fear that
7:06
Speaker 1: you wanted to hide from them. Yeah, that's not going
7:09
Speaker 1: to create more stress in the relationship. Is this one
7:11
Speaker 1: of those ideas that it looks good and it feels
7:13
Speaker 1: good and it's a great idea, it's probably going to
7:15
Speaker 1: get actually more people in trouble. But then I go
7:18
Speaker 1: on the website and they even have Oscar winner Octavius
7:23
Speaker 1: Spencer promoting it for people. Here's her message on the website.
7:26
Speaker 1: Did you know that your vote is private information? That's right.
7:31
Speaker 1: You don't have to tell anyone even if they ask
7:33
Speaker 1: vote the way you want. It's your voice. It's your
7:37
Speaker 1: right to vote without fear. Visit vote without Fear dot
7:41
Speaker 1: com or call eight eight eight two nine one three
7:44
Speaker 1: zero two seven for more in for me. You know
7:46
Speaker 1: she's exactly right about that. I mean, don't get me wrong,
7:48
Speaker 1: The message is completely fine. I totally agree with it.
7:50
Speaker 1: Vote without Fear. You shouldn't have to tell anybody, right,
7:52
Speaker 1: even in your own family. It's a private it's a
7:54
Speaker 1: private thing. It's your rights as a citizen, as a
7:57
Speaker 1: registered voter tyle. The entire website is probably going to
8:03
Speaker 1: cause more divide than help anybody. If you're trying to
8:06
Speaker 1: hide that from somebody, you got deeper issues. If you've
8:08
Speaker 1: got to go on a website to try to find
8:10
Speaker 1: out information, I don't know, maybe it'll help more people.
8:13
Speaker 1: Maybe I'm all wet on that. I have no idea,
8:16
Speaker 1: all right, Not just fear mongering at the polling stations,
8:19
Speaker 1: at the lines. It's among the politicians too. Oh, it's
8:22
Speaker 1: all over it. And it's coming from both sides too.
8:24
Speaker 1: But something amazing happened yesterday. We were talking about how
8:27
Speaker 1: Biden's garbage line taught us all a great, great line
8:33
Speaker 1: and gave us ammunition. When somebody says to you, how
8:37
Speaker 1: can you vote for that guy? I'm voting for the
8:39
Speaker 1: guy that did not call me garbage, and you just
8:41
Speaker 1: leave it at that. Well, being a brilliant marketer that
8:45
Speaker 1: he is, and he is, Trump jumped on this right
8:48
Speaker 1: away and became, at least for a day in Wisconsin,
8:51
Speaker 1: the garbage man brilliant. You may not like Trump, you
8:55
Speaker 1: may be voting for him, maybe not. Maybe you don't
8:58
Speaker 1: like him personally, but you still like his policy. No one,
9:02
Speaker 1: none of us, can deny the marketing genius of Donald J. Trump.
9:05
Speaker 1: Because this happened yesterday. You ready, he rolls in two
9:09
Speaker 1: in two the rally in Wisconsin in a garbage truck
9:14
Speaker 1: and the advanced team set up the Trump dvance twenty
9:16
Speaker 1: twenty four, actually on the sign like they wrapped the
9:19
Speaker 1: garbage truck ready to go, And there he is in
9:22
Speaker 1: his sanitation worker vest. How do you like my garbage truck?
9:26
Speaker 2: This truck is an honor of Kamala.
9:28
Speaker 1: And Joe Biden. You can't come on. That's just brilliant.
9:33
Speaker 1: And that's and there are a lot of people who
9:34
Speaker 1: are saying, you know, you can okay. The polls are
9:37
Speaker 1: saying one thing, the politicians are saying another thing. The rallies,
9:41
Speaker 1: who's got a final argument whatever, there's a strong argument
9:45
Speaker 1: to be made. Trump's advanced team and his marketing team
9:47
Speaker 1: this time around, compared to twenty twenty and especially twenty sixteen,
9:51
Speaker 1: they are they are brilliant. Whoever came up with the
9:55
Speaker 1: idea and they said, mister president, so we got the
9:59
Speaker 1: getting great moment. You've mentioned it. The chatter online is
10:03
Speaker 1: huge about the garbage thing. We can jump on this.
10:05
Speaker 1: You know, it would be a great idea. What if
10:07
Speaker 1: we put you in one of those sanitation vests? And
10:09
Speaker 1: I wouldn't doubt at all if it was Trump going, yeah,
10:11
Speaker 1: I like that. I like that. That's a good idea.
10:13
Speaker 1: Give me Can I get it one of those trucks?
10:14
Speaker 1: Can I drive it? Well, sir, that's a little b dangerous.
10:16
Speaker 1: I don't know. We're gonna let you drive it. Come on,
10:18
Speaker 1: let me do that. Let me do the lever thing
10:20
Speaker 1: I want to. I want to pick up a garbage can.
10:22
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe not that, but he but he is fully,
10:25
Speaker 1: fully involved with this, and it is a brilliant marketing campaign.
10:29
Speaker 1: Then of course it wasn't just there. The great part
10:31
Speaker 1: is and then sure enough he rolls into the rally
10:35
Speaker 1: in Wisconsin with the vest still on here.
10:38
Speaker 2: Crooked Joe Biden finally said what he and Kamala really
10:42
Speaker 2: think of our supporters. He called them garbage. No way,
10:46
Speaker 2: no way, no way, and they actually mean it, even
10:52
Speaker 2: though without question, my supporters are far higher quality than
10:57
Speaker 2: Crooked Joe or Lion Kamala, and higher quality.
11:03
Speaker 1: I have the highest quality voters. It's unbelievable. Nobody said
11:06
Speaker 1: it could be done the highest quality. Just me being here,
11:08
Speaker 1: your higher quality, It's unbelievable. He's classic at that, But
11:13
Speaker 1: there was a little nugget in there. I'm so glad
11:15
Speaker 1: he actually said, and he picked up on this, and
11:17
Speaker 1: it's the most important thing he could have gone up there. Yeah,
11:20
Speaker 1: you got the garbage man vest On, you got the truck.
11:23
Speaker 1: Obviously it's great. You know he can just kind of
11:25
Speaker 1: and leave it at that. What he said was so important,
11:27
Speaker 1: and I'm so glad he actually picked up on this.
11:29
Speaker 1: You and I talked about this yesterday. He pointed out
11:32
Speaker 1: exactly what we're all thinking. Underneath the veil. You take
11:36
Speaker 1: the filter off, they're telling you what they actually think
11:38
Speaker 1: of you, Joe Biden, to measure or not, the Democrats
11:43
Speaker 1: hiding it or not. And boy, there was a media
11:45
Speaker 1: spin on this. They actually tried to change his words.
11:47
Speaker 1: That was a whole different story. The truth is that's
11:50
Speaker 1: what they actually think of everybody that doesn't go along
11:54
Speaker 1: with the party line. And Trump brilliantly that was one
11:56
Speaker 1: of by the way, the rest of this check it out.
11:58
Speaker 1: It was brilliant speech. I think he's like energy by
12:00
Speaker 1: the garbage thing even more. And boy as a marketer
12:03
Speaker 1: did he jump on this and as a politician now,
12:05
Speaker 1: But that's the most important point. What they really think
12:08
Speaker 1: of you is what they're saying. That's the importance of
12:10
Speaker 1: the garbage line. That's the importance of it. You know,
12:13
Speaker 1: it's great that Trump can accentuate it and you know,
12:15
Speaker 1: come up with it, come up with the garbage man
12:17
Speaker 1: vest and everything. And didn't he say on there too.
12:19
Speaker 1: I think I got to wear this all the time.
12:21
Speaker 1: I think it makes me look thinner. Again. You may
12:25
Speaker 1: not like the guy, but he is. He's a great marketer.
12:27
Speaker 1: You have to admit that to jump on this and
12:30
Speaker 1: do it that way. But the important part, and it
12:33
Speaker 1: really really it's a light moment, but a serious part
12:35
Speaker 1: of this is what's hidden in that message from dementia brain,
12:38
Speaker 1: from Biden. The other night is exactly what they think
12:41
Speaker 1: of you. And that's the most impactful thing. So after
12:44
Speaker 1: this happens, right, so we're two days away from that,
12:46
Speaker 1: what's nobody talking about? Garbage man? By the way, garbage
12:52
Speaker 1: truck is still trending online. It's the number one thing,
12:54
Speaker 1: you know what, nobody's talking about anymore. Nazis you know what?
12:59
Speaker 1: You know what else? Nobody's talking about it anymore. And
13:00
Speaker 1: it was just a few days ago, it was four
13:02
Speaker 1: days ago. Nobody's talking about the joke making the Puerto
13:07
Speaker 1: Rico line anymore. This is why having a real, actual marketer,
13:12
Speaker 1: a businessman running for office is so important, because he
13:16
Speaker 1: knows how to take a slam and get the last word.
13:20
Speaker 1: And that was just a perfect, perfect example of that. Unbelievable, unbelievable.
13:25
Speaker 1: I have the highest quality of motors. I think they
13:29
Speaker 1: were even higher quality than twenty twenty. Oh the guy,
13:31
Speaker 1: here's something else. All right, let's talk about the World Series.
13:34
Speaker 1: Wrapped up, La Dodgers. Congratulations Dodgers fans, you won the
13:39
Speaker 1: World Series. Took it in five. A comeback win last night,
13:42
Speaker 1: seven to six after being down five to nothing. It's
13:46
Speaker 1: quite a comeback. In Yankee stadium. This series had a
13:51
Speaker 1: little bit of everything. So here's the here's the final call.
14:04
Speaker 1: The party is on. I'm dying to say it was. Actually,
14:07
Speaker 1: you know, when my team's not in it, I usually
14:09
Speaker 1: I'm a big Red Sox fan. You know that I'm
14:11
Speaker 1: usually kind of like half heartedly interested in this one.
14:14
Speaker 1: I was interested in this one, and I wonder if
14:16
Speaker 1: the rest of the country feels the same way. First
14:18
Speaker 1: of all, let's talk about these markets, right, just from
14:20
Speaker 1: a business perspective, Major League Baseball better have done big
14:24
Speaker 1: ratings with this, and we'll find out probably tomorrow or
14:27
Speaker 1: after the week, probably Monday, we'll find out what the
14:29
Speaker 1: ratings were for this thing. For all five games. You
14:32
Speaker 1: have the number one and number two sports markets involved
14:35
Speaker 1: in the World Series right there. It's like it's a
14:38
Speaker 1: shoe in for a win. It's like automatic. And you've
14:41
Speaker 1: got Yankees Dodgers classic rivalry going back many many years,
14:46
Speaker 1: and it was pretty compelling and it looks like it
14:48
Speaker 1: was gonna be a sweet But the Yankees won at
14:50
Speaker 1: least one. If Baseball, if Baseball didn't get massive numbers
14:54
Speaker 1: on this, yeah, I think I think they got a
14:57
Speaker 1: big marketing problem. But they probably will I just thought
15:00
Speaker 1: it was actually thought it was actually pretty entertaining. You know,
15:04
Speaker 1: he had some had some comeback wins. Yeah, good crowds.
15:08
Speaker 1: The games weren't on too late. I don't know why
15:11
Speaker 1: they can't put a baseball game on now. Talk about
15:14
Speaker 1: marketing during the day so actual little kids can actually
15:17
Speaker 1: see the game, see the World Series these day before
15:19
Speaker 1: they have to go to bed. But it was pretty good.
15:21
Speaker 1: Had some drama. You had the the goofy dipshit Yankee
15:24
Speaker 1: fans try to rip the try to rip Mooky BET's
15:27
Speaker 1: arm off the other night. That was good stuff. And
15:28
Speaker 1: mooky Bet, Mookie Bets, what a player. Unbelievable his third
15:34
Speaker 1: World Series ring. Now, man, I look at the guy
15:37
Speaker 1: like that, and they say, why can't my Red Sox
15:39
Speaker 1: have a player like that? Oh wait, I'm sorry they
15:41
Speaker 1: did and they gave him away for nothing. But anyway,
15:44
Speaker 1: all right, also sports related, and this is something that's
15:46
Speaker 1: only picking up steam. I thought would die by now.
15:48
Speaker 1: This story is now like what four to five days old.
15:52
Speaker 1: Took a while, but the word police have come after
15:56
Speaker 1: Tom Brady. I figured this was gonna happen sooner early,
16:00
Speaker 1: because listen, he's a broadcaster. Now on Fox doing the
16:04
Speaker 1: Sunday games. He's on their a crew. But the guy
16:09
Speaker 1: has been pretty protected most of his career. Let's face it,
16:11
Speaker 1: from the word cops. The word cops, who are they?
16:14
Speaker 1: I'm talking about the people that will pick pick up
16:17
Speaker 1: any single word you say, and they'll make a huge
16:19
Speaker 1: deal of it and say it's incredibly offensive. And if
16:21
Speaker 1: it goes any further, if you don't apologize the right
16:24
Speaker 1: way to them, they will try to cancel you. Well,
16:26
Speaker 1: it happened to Brady. He was talking about he was
16:29
Speaker 1: calling the forty nine Ers game this past Sunday, and
16:32
Speaker 1: I'll have the audio for you because honestly, some people
16:35
Speaker 1: might be offended as well for what he said. And
16:37
Speaker 1: he was describing early on in the career. I'm sorry
16:40
Speaker 1: is the Bills game he was describing Josh Allen and
16:42
Speaker 1: he said, yeah, he used to play like a spaz.
16:45
Speaker 1: Didn't know anything about it, right, went on, game was fine,
16:48
Speaker 1: But it's always after the fact that the outrage happens.
16:51
Speaker 1: So apparently spaz is an offensive term these days. I
16:56
Speaker 1: like Tom Brady, I swear to you, hand to God,
17:00
Speaker 1: I did not know that's offensive. And if I don't
17:02
Speaker 1: know and I've got two daughters who were in their
17:04
Speaker 1: early twenties who are pretty much offended by everything. If
17:07
Speaker 1: I didn't know, it doesn't surprise me that Tom Brady
17:10
Speaker 1: didn't know. And I would venture to guess that you
17:12
Speaker 1: didn't know either as much as and I'm a kidd
17:15
Speaker 1: of the eighties, right, so I'm gen X. We pretty
17:17
Speaker 1: much are unoffendable. We just do everything because we played outside, well,
17:22
Speaker 1: everybody else did. I was a dork, but normal people
17:24
Speaker 1: played outside. But I will tell you, honest to God,
17:28
Speaker 1: hand to God, I've never made the connection to the
17:31
Speaker 1: word spaz related to mentally disabled folks. Never made that connection.
17:39
Speaker 1: I've probably said that word several hundred or thousands of
17:43
Speaker 1: times in my life, just to spend we said it
17:45
Speaker 1: all the time, Honest to God, I've probably not knowing.
17:49
Speaker 1: I've probably said the word spaz in the last year,
17:51
Speaker 1: probably at least two or three times, probably or the
17:54
Speaker 1: adverb of spaz spazi. Didn't know. I honestly didn't, No,
18:01
Speaker 1: And you know it goes down to this too. Can
18:04
Speaker 1: you get a pass or the people that decide and
18:06
Speaker 1: when did they decide that a word is actually verboten?
18:09
Speaker 1: But that you can't say it anymore because a lot
18:11
Speaker 1: of us don't know, And it breaks down by generation,
18:13
Speaker 1: like can you let like, when are these things decided?
18:15
Speaker 1: This is some back room somewhere of some university, some
18:18
Speaker 1: liberal arts college somewhere. We had decide all of a
18:21
Speaker 1: sudden that certain words are not acceptable. If you're going
18:24
Speaker 1: to do that, can you like post it somewhere so
18:26
Speaker 1: we know then we could like debate it. How about that,
18:28
Speaker 1: here's a better idea. Let's break it down by generation,
18:31
Speaker 1: Like if your gen X like me, maybe there's certain
18:34
Speaker 1: words we can say right because we were used to saying them,
18:38
Speaker 1: But as you get younger, you can't say those certain words.
18:41
Speaker 1: I don't know, think of the older generations. My dad,
18:44
Speaker 1: God rest his soul, You couldn't ever have him like
18:48
Speaker 1: functioning in today's society. Like if you brought my Dada
18:51
Speaker 1: back to life in the year twenty twenty four, you
18:53
Speaker 1: couldn't let him out of the house, or you can't.
18:56
Speaker 1: He'd be offending people within like thirty seconds because you
18:59
Speaker 1: don't know. It's what you grow up with. Don't get
19:01
Speaker 1: me wrong, I'm all in favor of us being better
19:04
Speaker 1: and being kinder and gentler to other people totally in
19:07
Speaker 1: favor of that. That's why I didn't play the sound
19:08
Speaker 1: of Brady's saying it again because I also love Tom
19:11
Speaker 1: Brady the Goat, and I don't want to get him
19:12
Speaker 1: in any more trouble. But you gotta let us know,
19:16
Speaker 1: and I'll give you a little side story on this too,
19:18
Speaker 1: related to the word spaz. I went to college with
19:24
Speaker 1: a dude named Dave Spazolo. Hand to God, Swear to god.
19:28
Speaker 1: Spazolo was his last name. I'll give you three guesses
19:32
Speaker 1: as to what his nickname was. Yeah, of course his
19:34
Speaker 1: nickname was spaz. I've lost touch with him now, but
19:37
Speaker 1: I'm sure somewhere in his life people are still trying
19:40
Speaker 1: to call Dave spaz That was his nickname. It just
19:43
Speaker 1: makes perfect sense. Or somewhere wherever he's living right now,
19:46
Speaker 1: if he had like a son, probably his son is
19:50
Speaker 1: known as Spaz, or at least was. I would imagine
19:53
Speaker 1: son of Spaz if you will. I don't know, but
19:56
Speaker 1: it's a shame that this kind of stuff happens, that
19:59
Speaker 1: that's taken away from it because we don't know. There's
20:01
Speaker 1: too much confusion. You don't know what you can say,
20:03
Speaker 1: what you can't say it'spas is a good example of that,
20:06
Speaker 1: because honest I will tell you honestly, I never made
20:08
Speaker 1: the connection between that and being an offensive war I
20:11
Speaker 1: never even in my mind the thought process that that
20:15
Speaker 1: was related to mentally challenged folks who I have never
20:18
Speaker 1: intended to offend, and I'm sure Brady didn't either. This
20:22
Speaker 1: is a guy, by the way, that has done more
20:24
Speaker 1: for the Best Buddies organization, you know, for Down syndrome
20:28
Speaker 1: kids and adults than anybody on earth. I think didn't
20:32
Speaker 1: mean to offend anybody. I don't know. I just don't
20:35
Speaker 1: know where it stops. Like words, what words are we
20:38
Speaker 1: saying right now in common American culture? You and I
20:42
Speaker 1: don't even know they're completely offensive something. There's gotta be
20:45
Speaker 1: something we use all the time, like stupid, Like you
20:47
Speaker 1: can't say like I gotta take that one away. If
20:49
Speaker 1: they are, just let us know so we can adjust.
20:52
Speaker 1: I don't know. All right, it's silly season and it's
20:55
Speaker 1: Halloween season. Here's my little PSA and I always throw
20:58
Speaker 1: this out there. If you're driving around, I forget to
21:00
Speaker 1: put your lights on obviously, and be really careful of kids.
21:03
Speaker 1: There's a lot of kids with those costumes. We were
21:05
Speaker 1: talking about that it can't always see you to just
21:08
Speaker 1: be careful and have a good time, and don't forget
21:12
Speaker 1: turn your lights off if you're out of candy, Otherwise
21:14
Speaker 1: you're gonna get egged or toilet papered. Okay, don't that.
21:18
Speaker 1: Don't be that dentist down the street that that's handing
21:20
Speaker 1: out toothbrushes. Nobody wants you. This is a time for
21:23
Speaker 1: fun and naughty Halloween costumes for adults. Remember that one too.
21:27
Speaker 1: Do takeaways today, well, careful what you say, I guess,
21:32
Speaker 1: don't be afraid of the fear mongering among the election polls,
21:35
Speaker 1: and most importantly, don't take any crap from anybody. Thanks
