  Speaker 1: It's time for Stacks and Hacks.
• 0:01
  Speaker 2: Right on.
• 0:02
  Speaker 3: I have stacks of information and Rich has life hacks.
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: Anybody here into video games? Grand Theft Auto?
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: Sometimes. I like watching my husband play them. I like
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: Mario Kart.
• 0:13
  Speaker 3: Grand Theft Auto is like one of the biggest games.
• 0:16
  Speaker 3: Anticipation for this game is tremendous and the graphics are
• 0:19
  Speaker 3: better than ever. An economics professor thinks that the release
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: of Grand Theft Auto will cost businesses over a billion
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: dollars in lost productivity. The game comes out on a Thursday,
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: and an estimated 1.5 million people will skip it, will
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: skip work to play it all weekend.
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 0:37
  Speaker 4: I was just going to say, I think it's been
• 0:39
  Speaker 4: forever since a new GTA has come out, right? People
• 0:41
  Speaker 4: have just been waiting on it.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: It's a big time in my house.
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: Do you see the new South Park where they're talking
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: about it, like something terrible is going on in town?
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: They're like, but that's okay because GTA is coming out
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: in November.
• 0:49
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I know. My brother's a big GTA player, so
• 0:51
  Speaker 4: he's pumped about that.
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: And HOA is catching heat after asking residents not to
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: hand out full-size candy bars on Halloween.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: Huh?
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: They said their goal is to help keep the experience
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: consistent throughout the neighborhood and to avoid a situation where
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: some homes feel pressured to match larger offerings.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: Oh, that's silly.
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: Hand out whatever you want to hand out. But yeah.
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: Or not. We always handed out the full-size candy bars.
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: My dad had the best Halloween hack. I love Almond Joys.
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: And most people don't like Almond Joys. So what my
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: dad would do when he would hand out candy, he
• 1:23
  Speaker 4: would say, okay, empty out your bag. Give me all
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: of your Almond Joys. And every 10 Almond Joys gives
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: you an extra full-size candy bar.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: Every 10 Almond Joys?
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: Sometimes you feel like a nut. He was a hustler.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: Sometimes you don't.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: Do you know what my neighbor did?
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: Almond Joys got nuts. Moms don't.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: My neighbor handed out, that was a huge hit last year,
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: was ramen noodles. Oh, that's good. The super spicy ones.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: Was that actually a hit with the kids?
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: Oh, I'm sure.
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: The kids?
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: With the, like I'd say middle schoolers. Twins. Twins would
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: probably like it.
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: Speaking of nuts, according to a study, people who eat
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: a lot of nuts have a 16% lower risk of
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: developing high blood pressure.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: These nuts. Don't you love nuts?
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: I love nuts. Love nuts. Also cashews.
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: A 33-year-old man in Canada just won a city council
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: election after a campaign about him not knowing what he
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: was doing.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: He had signs that said, how hard can this be?
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: He goes, I barely want to do this. And people
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: voted him in.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: I would too. How hard could it be?
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: Because people get so sick of politicians, right?
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: I know.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: I'm so sick of them.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: Do you know about what's happened in Alaska where there's
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: two guys with the same name?
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: The exact same name? Yeah. How do you know who
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: to vote for?
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: There's a negative campaign ad against one of them that
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: one of them's doing, but they have the same name.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: This is pretty interesting. It says, do you have streaming fatigue?
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: Have you ever spent so much time at night looking
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: for something to watch that you eventually gave up and
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: went to bed?
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: If so, you're struggling from streaming fatigue. A survey found
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: from a few years ago found the U.S. streamer subscriber
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: spends 110 hours a year searching for something to watch.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: Oh, that's ridiculous.
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: They call it content overload. I get like that every
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: once in a while. Right now, The Diplomat is number
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: one on Netflix or number two on Netflix. And I
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: want to get to the Diplomat in season four. I
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: love the first three seasons, but there's so many other
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: things I'm watching right now that I can't get into
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: it just yet.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: What else are you watching right now?
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: I'm watching War. I'm watching a couple stand-up comedians. I'm
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: watching Mobland.
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: Slow Horses.
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: Slow Horses. Season finale of Slow Horses comes out today.
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: There's a lot like that that I'm watching. It's just
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: stressful for me right now.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: That's what I call it. Streaming fatigue. Streaming fatigue. Okay,
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: real quick.
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: This guy's girlfriend, they're going through the drive-thru. And I've
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: done this before just for fun, but I didn't know
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: it was a practical joke to do to people. Girl
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: got her boyfriend in the drive-thru to order and ask
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: for the order to go.
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: Right?
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: So you're going to hear, they're calling it a practical joke,
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: but I think it's fun.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: To do anyway.
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: In a small Sprite to go.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: In a small Sprite, please.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: Darren, it's okay?
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: Say to go.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: To go, please.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: To go?
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: You are getting dropped here.
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: You do realize that, right?
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: I was not the one saying that.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: She's telling me what to order. Thank you.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: Somebody, the guy, why does he have to throw the
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: girlfriend out of the bus? He's going to have to go.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: Stand on business.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: For your life.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: The guy at the drive-thru is like, anyway, it's funny. Hey, Rich,
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: what do you got for life hacks?
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: I've been doing the pumpkin carving all wrong, apparently. And
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: so have all of us. You know how you cut
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: the top and the pumpkin and you scoop out all
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: the guts and all that? Yeah. No, no, no, no.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: Not according to the new pumpkin experts. Open it at
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: the bottom of the pumpkin instead. You scoop out the
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: guts the same way. Then you set that pumpkin down
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: over your light. They say don't use a candle because
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: that burns it. But if you use like an LED light,
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: you set it on top from the bottom and you
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: still have the top of the pumpkin. Kind of clever.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: It works way better than tiny plastic things and carving
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: kits that, you know, makes your pumpkin look stupid, this
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: is going to make your pumpkin look cool. So this year,
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: cut it from the bottom. Let us know how that
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: works for you. That life hack and many more can
