• 0:26
  Speaker 2: things as this Hurricane Helene is working thing that depending
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: on when you're listening, maybe this is already passed. But
• 0:38

• 0:44
  Speaker 2: I appreciate that even more. Right if this is something
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: you're using some of your precious battery for, God bless
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: you for that. But we're here getting a show together
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: for you while we can, right, That's what we do.
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: We do a show while we can. So that's what
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: we're doing. So let's let's jump into some strange and
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: bizarre news because it's Friday.
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: That's what we do on Fridays.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: A supermarket customer in England was a little mad dare
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: I say hopping mad when they were purchasing a bag
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: of salad and found a live toad inside.
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: Would you be that mad.
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: It's a toad. I'm not saying eat the salad. I'm
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: just saying, I mean, it's not like it's a I'd
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: be more concerned if it was a giant insect or
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: a disgusting insect. I mean, most of them are, but
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: if not all of them, not all of them. Come on, now,
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: not all insects are disgusting. Don't you dare do it.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: Don't mess with my butterflies.
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: But it could.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: A mouse would be disgusting. A toad, that's not so bad.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: The customer immediately took the bag back to the supermarket
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: for a refund and to find the unwanted salad stow
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: away a new home. The toad had been turned over
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: to a local reptile rescue, where it's reportedly comfortable and
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: feeding on beetles. You know, you can make a case
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: they're disgusting in sick right. The store apologized to the
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: customer and said, while our growers minimized pesticide, it used
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: to promote sustainable farming and reduce harm to wildlife. There
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: is a stringent sorting and washing process which should have
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: removed the toad. Although this is a very rare occurrence,
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: we are really sorry to the customer who found it. Yeah,
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: I don't know how mad. I mean, how mad can
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: you be? It's a toad the end of the day. Yeah,
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: you wanted a salad, right, Maybe you were going to
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: go home immediately and eat the salad. It doesn't sound
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: like it in this case. The worst part of the
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: story for this person is just that they get to
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: spend time with a toad.
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: That's pretty good. It's a toad who doesn't like a
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: little time with a toad?
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: Come on, all right? You know people do those foam parties.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: You know you might find them, you know in Europe
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: the hip place New York, London, Parish, Munich. That's not
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: in Europe, but you know what I mean, New York,
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: part Paris and Munich of course, but you know all
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: the hip places. New York falls under the hip places,
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: So you might think, well, if they're having these cool
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: foam parties, might be one of those cool places.
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: Not so fast.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: The quiet English town of Dukinfield, because streets, homes, and
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: cars got covered in a mysterious white foam. Residents were
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: stunned when the foam suddenly appeared, and confused because no
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: one really knew what caused it.
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: All they know so far.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: As it came from a nearby river and the environmental
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: agency is investigating it. As of now, it is believed
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: it was something that was dumped into the river at
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: the source, but it's unclear what it was and if
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: it poses a risk to the environment. Maybe it's just
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: soap SuDS, you know, I mean, let's go Okham's razor here.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: What could be the easiest thing it could be. Maybe
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: they just threw in some soap and wanted to see
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: what would happen. You know where people used to do
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: that in fountains. They'd go out and they'd dump some
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: you know, dish detergent in there and let it foam
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: up and the hilarity would ensue. I never did it,
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: I know people who did. When you live in the
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: Fountain City, sometimes that's what happens. Let's go to some
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: disgusting nasty insects.
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: A public library in Michigan force to close down after
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: someone returned to DVD case filled with insects. Dirty, disgusting
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: nasty insects. Not butterflies, not even beetles, not even beetles.
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: Not Lady buck.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: No, no, no, disgusting ones. The Royal Oak Public Library
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: had to close for three days do an infestation of bugs,
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: which were later determined to be cockroaches. Yes see, those
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: are the dirty ones. Came from a DVD someone dropped
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: off in the return bend. The worker opened the case,
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: the insects flooded out of it. How many insects could
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: have been in there that they had to close for
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: three days? Library staff was concerned the insects had infected
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: other parts of the library, including books, and had to
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: call him pest control to spend three days until all
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: the roaches were gone. Uh, it sounds to me like
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: this is a staff that was just want a couple
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: of days off, you know, That's what it sounds like
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: to me. Because how many roaches could have been in
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: the case. Let's just be honest here. How many could
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: have been in there? And when you live in the South,
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: you know you're gonna run across a roach every now
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: and then. How many roaches have these people just had?
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: The very like, do they just barely have? I guess
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: in Michigan maybe they don't count them as much, but
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: they're around, you.
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: Know, I don't know how many?
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: You how many could have been in that case that
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: they thought, man, we need to close this down for
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: three days. A Florida man was jailed accused of burglarizing
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: a miniature golf course while wearing only underwear. I mean,
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: at least he was wearing something. The burglary seems to
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: be the bigger problem in this scenario. To me, I
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: don't want to see a dude in his underwear, but
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: you know. Police in Fort Myers answered an alarm call
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: from Smuggler's Cove Adventure Golf at four point thirty in
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: the morning. When they got there, officers heard banging noises
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: in the sound of a man talking. That's when they
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: spotted thirty eight year old Francisco Mayorga, who was in
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: his underwear, and they noticed a broken window, several destroyed decorations,
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: and a door that had been forced open. They say
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: that Majorga was aggressive and in.
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: An altered state. I wonder what that could mean.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: What do which sort of altered state might get a
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: guy to strip down to his tidy whities and just
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: start trying to rob a many What was.
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: He trying to steal? Golf balls, golf clubs? What is
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: he trying to take? For many? Little pencils.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: A review of the surveillance footage showed that the man
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: actually arrived at the business fully clothed at some point
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: decided to strip down to his underwear. They also saw
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: him break a window at the gate and destroy a
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: motion detector. My orger was arrested charged with burglary and
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: criminal mischief. I don't, yeah, it is the underwear even
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: a crime. It doesn't seem to be in there, so,
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's an extra part of the story, but
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: I don't know that it necessarily itself.
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: Is a crime, is it?
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: A California woman recently visited Yosemite National Park brought home
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: a rather unusual souvenir. While driving home from the park,
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: she noticed something wasn't quite right with the car. She
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: looked under the hood and noticed an animal in the
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: engine in the engine area.
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: I so I'm not in the engine.
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: She drove over to the nearest fire station and asked
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: help removing it. Firefighters had to take a part some
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: of the components under the hood and finally reached the animal,
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: which was a marmot. Somehow, the large ground wrote and
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: crawled up into the engine area and stayed there for
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: the three hour drive. Appeared to be in good condition
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: and was returned back to the wild. Cute little guy too.
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: All Right, people in Florida stealing alligators from lakes and
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: eating them. I mean, that's the sign of the economy,
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: isn't it. There's two people that are doing that. I mean,
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: if two people are doing it, were they doing it
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: five years ago? I mean, that's when we start talking
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: about the economy, right, and inflation. Cobbs in Tallahassee arrested
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: two men and were accused of catching a baby alligator
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: and a lake, dragging it home with the intention of
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: eating it. A relative of one of the men called
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: the Florida Wild Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission and snitched
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: on him. It's not snitching, it's a baby alligator. This
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: story's different when it's a full grown alligator and a
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: baby alligator. They told authorities that he put the live
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: gator in a cooler and was going to eat it.
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: Later on, authorities headed over to the house questioned the man,
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: who told him that he and a buddy were fishing
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: on the lake found a baby alligator that they roped
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: up and dragged the house. They each accused the other
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: of planning to eat it. Both men had been in
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: possession of the gator, and they were both arrested in
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: charge with taking or possessing an alligator without a license.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: The baby alligator was seized by wildlife officials and they
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: ate it.
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: No, I'm just kidding.
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: They returned it to the lake. They didn't eat it.
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: Nobody ate the baby alligator. It was returned to the lake.
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: Wouldn't it be funny though, if they ate it just
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: right there in front of them, you know, like Bobby
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: Bouchet's mama, just bite the head right off. Florida man
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: pulled over for speeding was afraid cops would find his
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: stash of cocaine, so he tried to hide it where cocaine,
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: I guess, goes up your nose. Deputies in path I
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: had to stop myself from staying with the rubber hosts.
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: Deputies in Pascoe County clocked a forty year old Joel
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: Craig Wallace speeding and attempted to pull him over. Instead
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: of complying, Wallace attempted to flee and led deputies on
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: a brief pursuit, which ultimately ended right in front of
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: his home. Apparently nervous about police finding his stash, he
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: quickly snorted it all so they wouldn't find it. Of course,
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: he gave himself up when a deputies approached him and
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: his nose was covered in white powder. Wallace was arrested
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: on multiple charges, including fleeing, cocaine possession, tampering with evidence,
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: and eating a baby alligator.
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: No, he didn't do that. That's another story.
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: I don't know anything. I've never done any recreational drugs.
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: Definitely never done cocaine. You know I haven't done recreational
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: haven't it. I mean, if you're doing all of it,
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: I don't know how much he was snorting, but it
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: just seems like that could be a bit much. Just
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: seems a lot if he's snorting all of his stash.
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: An unusual site in Fort Myers, Florida, kept people asking
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: is anything left at a dumpster?
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: Fair game? To take? About that suv over there?
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: A passerby noticed an suv perfectly placed on top of
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: a commercial dumpster, sparking rumors about how it got there.
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: Did Mahoney park it there? Remember that scene in police Academy.
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: Some wondered if it was someone's trash, and if so,
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: could anyone just take it? The local NBC affiliate investigated
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: and learned that a construction company was working in the
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: area and the parked suv was in the way, so
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: they used a forklift to pick it up and put
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: it on top of the dumpster. One worker saying, sometimes
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: when you part where you're not supposed to, this is
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: what happens. The suv, as it turns out, is owned
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: by a contractor who provides to out of town workers
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: who need to get around.
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: So they loansome the car.
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: The suv was later taken down from the dumpster and
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: moved to another parking lot. I mean, I understand the
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: frustration by the workers, but you know you could put
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: it somewhere other than on a dumpster. A Canadian one
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: was arrest in charge with assault with a deadly weapon
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: or with a weapon I suppose, after she allegedly shot
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: her neighbor in the chest with a water gun. It's
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: not deadly, but you know, fifty eight year old Wendy Washik,
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: I guess that's how you say it. Was playing in
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: her yard children with her children during a barbecue.
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: Her next door neighbor was in his.
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: Yard mowing the lawn, and Wendy says that she accidentally
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: sprayed him in the chest with a water gun. She
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: says she apologized immediately, but the man screamed at her
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: and went inside and called police. He reported the even
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: physically assaulted, and cops soon arrived at Wendy's house to
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: place her under arrest. According to the police report, Wendy
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: and the neighbor had been involved in some sort of
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: dispute you think, She claims the police arrested her without
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: even questioning her about the incident. The assault charge is
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: just one problem she's facing. The school that she works
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: at as an educational assistant placed her on leave until
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: the case is settled.
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: It's a water gun. I mean, she shouldn't have shot
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: the guy with it if they got beef. But come on,
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: it's a water gun.
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: Finally fighting someone and asking them, hey.
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: Let's take this outside. That's old school. You know they
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: do that in movies and TV shows. You want to
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: step outside, I probably don't want to do it.
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: Though.
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: If you're on an airplane and I rate irishwoman, I
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: got Irish lineage, I can make all the jokes I
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: want here. Carol is a very Irish name, all right.
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: She was on an airplane and was captured on video
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: screaming and cursing at another woman before challenging her to
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: go outside.
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: Let's go outside.
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: She continued shouting at the other woman, promising, I'm gonna
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: make you famous. I don't know that we've gotten any
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: information about what made her so angry and what the
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: ultimate outcome was at this, but the fact that the
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: video went viral of someone screaming let's step outside while
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: they were on an airplane. I'll just say this, and
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: I know that, you know, stereotypes are you know, not
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: always a good thing. Sometimes they're just fun little jokes.
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: Sometimes they hurt, you know. Like I said, Irish lineage,
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: we go way back, we go way back to the
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: Emerald Isle. That's about the most Irish thing you can do.
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: Though.
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: You get so mad you just don't even remember where
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: you are. Let's go outside and fight. Let's step out
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: on the wing. Let's take this out on the wing
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: and fight.
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: I do wonder what may have set her off and
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: made her so angry. Maybe she you know, spilled her drink.
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: Maybe it was an alcoholic beverage. I mean, I hate
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: to pile on the stereotypes, but again, you know, I
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: could be related to this woman.
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: So it's okay.
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: Today's show brought to you by Columbus State University's Coca
• 14:51

  Speaker 2: incredible collaboration that they do with the Schwob School of

  Speaker 2: Music from Columbus State University called Music under the Dome.
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: It's unlike any concert experience that you can get anywhere else.
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: It's one of those things that when you're watching it
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: in Columbus, Georgia, you think, is this really in Columbus, Georgia.
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: I mean, this is a major city attraction that happens

  Speaker 3: West Carol Morning Show.
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: Right after the break, we continue to inch our way
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: a little closer to Halloween. The Halloween's shopping season this
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: year did get off to an earlier start than normal.
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: You may have noticed, And yeah, the Christmas stuff's been
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: out for a while, so all of it's kind of
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: getting a big start on things. But in spite of that,
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: expert saying that Americans are likely to spend less on
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: Halloween this year than a year ago, maybe that's why
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: they got things out a little bit early, trying to
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: kind of trigger all that.
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: Forty seven percent of consumers began their Halloween shopping before
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: October this year, which is more than ever before, according
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: to the National Retail Federation, But that's not necessarily going
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: to translate into higher spending. There's one big reason why,
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: you know, the Halloween decorations and giant amatronic ghosts and
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: gules sold at the box stores when many people have
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: already purchased those in years past and aren't buying them anymore.
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: Retailers aren't panicking, though, as Halloween spending is still expected
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: to surpass eleven billion, just eleven billion. It sounds like,
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: oh man, they're gonna be spending less this year, just
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: eleven billion.
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: That's not much.
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: And of course as we get into a spooky season
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: and people start talking ghosts and goblins and things, well,
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: they say, you should be checking your Ring doorbell camera
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: because you never know what paranormal activity you might see.
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: If your camera does happen to detect some ghostly action,
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: they say, send the video to Ring because you could
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: win one hundred thousand dollars and that would be great
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: if you want to spend you know, part of that
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: eleven billion dollars on Halloween supplies or just candy in general.
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: Ring's chief commercial officer says, I would encourage folks to
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: keep an eye on things that are happening in front
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: of their cameras. We've seen just incredible things floating orbs,
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: or shadows or ghosts show up in footage, and so
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: we're really encouraging our Ring customers to have a little
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: bit of fun with this one. Rings Great Ghost Search

  Speaker 3: Maybe.
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: A recent survey found forty three percent of Americans have
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: at least one unused gift card, with an average value
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: of two hundred and forty four dollars per person. So
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: think about that maybe before you buy gift cards for
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: the holidays. According to the survey, higher income households are
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: more likely to have unused gift cards, fifty five percent
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: of those earning one hundred thousand dollars or more holding
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: on to them. The survey also revealed thirty four percent
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: of people have lost money due to gift card mishaps,
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: like letting them expire, losing them, having a store go
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: out of business. Despite the unused cards, eighty four percent
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: of Americans still love giving gift cards as presents. I mean,
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: it's the strawberry pop tart of pop tarts, right, you know,
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: is it anybody's favorite to get the gift card or
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: you necessarily give the gift card. I know I'm gonna
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: get some flack from the strawberry pop tart people, but
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: my point is, strawberry pop tarts, you eat them, even
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: if they're not your favorite. Who's not going to just
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: go ahead and eat a strawberry pop tart if it's offered.
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: But if someone says, would you like the strawberry pop
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: tart or would you like the you know, brown sugar
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: cinnamon one, of course you're gonna take that one.
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: Right. Maybe it's just me.
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: Tailgating is certainly in full swing now that college football season,
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: well all football season, but it tends to be a
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: college thing. I guess in the Southeast, but all over
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: I'm really everywhere, but I think, you know, we tend
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: to be a little more tailgatey. I think that's my
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: impression anyway, at college games that we do pro games.
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: But anyway, according to a new survey, tailgating might just
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: be the main event for most fans. Seventy percent of
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: tailgater survey said they look forward to the tailgate season
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: as much as, if not more than the holiday season,
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: even attend tailgates without game tickets. Others with tickets prefer
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: to stay at the tailgate party instead of actually going
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: to the game. I guess it depends on the team
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: and how the team is doing, they say. The perfect tailgate,
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: according to respondents, includes twelve people, food, some alcoholic beverages, chairs,
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: team apparel. The top rolls at the tailgate are the
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: grill Master and the Peanut Gallery. You know, casual fans
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: who throw in comments. The top must have foods for
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: tailgates include burgers, hot dogs, chips, chicken wings, barbecue, potato salad, brats, nachos,
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: and also ranked high. The perfect tailgate would also include
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: three alcoholic drinks to choose from.
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: So there you go.
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: That'll do it for this Friday edition of the show.
