00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:04,400
The next Steffan Good Day download with

00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:08,039

Previlegent keeping your brain healthy. Happy Halloween.

4
00:00:13,919 --> 00:00:17,519
Do we make too much of Halloween? Jay Kirshner, Do we go

5
00:00:17,679 --> 00:00:24,879
overboard? The candles, the candy
anxiety? No? No, the decorations.

6
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:30,039
I feel like this year people went
harder than they've that I've ever noticed

7
00:00:30,039 --> 00:00:34,439
with all of the decorations, the
yard decorations, the big giant skeletons and

8
00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:39,679
the big it's fantastic. It's so
cool. And especially love the lights.

9
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:44,560
They're like Christmas lights but orange or
purple and green, and it's just everything's

10
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:48,960
so decorated. Some of like the
really scary spooky stuff. There's one house

11
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:54,399
that it's super like zombie babies on
a see saw that moves and it's kind

12
00:00:54,399 --> 00:00:57,799
of just a little too creepy.
But like the fun, the fun Halloween

13
00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:02,719
stuff, like the little witches and
the what's it called the Oogie Boogie.

14
00:01:02,759 --> 00:01:06,000
It's like a big green blow up
monster, but he seems like a friendly

15
00:01:06,079 --> 00:01:10,560
monster. Yeah, the friendly monsters. Let's hear it for them, like

16
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:15,519
Casper shout out to friendly ghost.
Yes, the magic of what's going on

17
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:21,640
today, there are a lot of
creative folks, a lot of possibilities for

18
00:01:22,079 --> 00:01:26,719
decorating pumpkins and that sort of stuff. I go back to the beginnings of

19
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:34,400
Halloween as a pagan tradition for sure, the precursor to what we have today.

20
00:01:34,879 --> 00:01:42,799
When you talk about scary or what
really happens in terms of rumor or

21
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:49,000
what has been passed down through the
year through the centuries. The precursor to

22
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:56,120
Halloween kind of fascinating actually, when
you dig into the history of what goes

23
00:01:56,159 --> 00:01:59,879
on, what the tradition is today, and how different that is from what

24
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:04,519
the real Halloween All Hallows Eve was
all about. But like a lot of

25
00:02:04,519 --> 00:02:10,000
other things, where it started and
where it ends up are two different things,

26
00:02:10,039 --> 00:02:15,599
really two different things. So I'm
looking around at some of the towns

27
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:21,080
around here and what they're doing,
maybe what you're experiencing there in Ohio.

28
00:02:21,199 --> 00:02:25,479
You are jay some cities and some
towns, not only here in my neck

29
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:30,639
of the woods, but around the
country, they have banned trick or treating,

30
00:02:31,319 --> 00:02:36,000
especially if you are over the age
of thirteen. Remember yesterday we were

31
00:02:36,039 --> 00:02:40,080
asking how old was too old for
children to go out and trick or treat?

32
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:46,080
And so, sure these towns are
like, yep, definitely, But

33
00:02:46,159 --> 00:02:51,280
what if what if there is a
grown adult who has the mental capacity of

34
00:02:51,319 --> 00:02:57,360
a five year old who wants to
trick or treat because of a developmental situation,

35
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:00,199
then what are they still not a
lot trick or treat even though they're

36
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:07,759
essentially a five year old. That's
splitting years. But I suppose it's a

37
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:10,319
question, and I think it's hard
to draw a line in the sand.

38
00:03:10,479 --> 00:03:16,120
Okay, Yeah, everybody's different,
they would size wise and maturity wise.

39
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:23,639
I'm looking at Portsmouth, New Hampshire, Jacksonville, Florida, some places in

40
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:30,199
Louisiana. There were places all over
that have a ban or at least some

41
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:32,560
places they just don't allow it at
all because of things that have happened.

42
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:36,560
I don't even want to talk about
some of the horrible things over the past

43
00:03:36,599 --> 00:03:40,080
fifteen or twenty years that have happened
to candy. People that are so sick

44
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:46,800
they do just really sick stuff and
spoil it for everybody else who wants to

45
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:52,360
have some fun. So I was
talking about Halloween and how it all began

46
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:59,560
goes back to the sixteenth century.
It has to do with Christianity, it

47
00:03:59,599 --> 00:04:04,319
has to do with the Catholic Church
more specifically, and it has to do

48
00:04:04,479 --> 00:04:12,639
with the practices, if you will, of the Pagans. Whether you know

49
00:04:12,719 --> 00:04:15,160
it or not, if you're a
Christian or a Catholic, most of the

50
00:04:15,199 --> 00:04:20,959
holidays that you celebrate were pagan holidays
that the Church just came in and grabbed

51
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:27,639
and took over, if you will. As part of Roman paganism, they

52
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:35,319
would bring they bring in an apple
tree and they'd have a festival. Sometimes.

53
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:41,160
This is where apple you know,
when you bob for apples? Did

54
00:04:41,199 --> 00:04:44,680
you ever do that? That's where
this came from back in the Roman area.

55
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:48,040
Really, yeah, right, that's
one of those things. Yes,

56
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:53,319
Yeah. When I was younger,
I was at a friend's birthday slash Halloween

57
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:56,240
party and we were bobbing for apples, and it was one of those things

58
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:59,120
of like, as I was doing
it, I just I didn't understand,

59
00:04:59,519 --> 00:05:01,439
not that it's and understand the concept. I didn't understand the fun of it.

60
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:03,759
But maybe that's because I don't like
to put my face in water and

61
00:05:03,759 --> 00:05:08,240
I don't like the water. Those
up my nose, but it just yeah,

62
00:05:08,439 --> 00:05:11,839
it was not my cup of tea, but it was funny watching other

63
00:05:11,879 --> 00:05:16,480
people do it. It's kind of
like waterboarding in a manner. Yes,

64
00:05:16,639 --> 00:05:23,639
that's a really great way to go
there, like voluntarily doing it to yourself.

65
00:05:24,199 --> 00:05:30,160
Voluntary waterboarding, that's what that's all
about. The Celts are the ones

66
00:05:30,199 --> 00:05:33,759
that really kind of they had a
festival called I believe it's pronounced sam Hain

67
00:05:34,399 --> 00:05:40,759
s a m h ai n recognizing
the end of the harvest season. That's

68
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:46,240
really kind of what we started at
that time back then. This is really

69
00:05:46,959 --> 00:05:50,120
back early and before there were a
lot of religious holidays, or at least

70
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:55,680
they're kind of religious holidays that we
have today. The year ended, remember,

71
00:05:56,120 --> 00:06:00,279
for only ten months in the year
before the time of Julius Caesar and

72
00:06:00,319 --> 00:06:09,199
Augustus Caesar, and so that's this
goes back that far and it was all

73
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:15,279
it was just I look at how
it became popular here in America back in

74
00:06:15,319 --> 00:06:20,560
the nineteenth century, after the Salem
witch trials and that sort of thing.

75
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:28,240
There were parades and parties. After
World War One, there were the people

76
00:06:28,639 --> 00:06:33,199
practiced what they call souling. That's
I wish we had Mary O'Meley with us

77
00:06:33,199 --> 00:06:43,000
today because she could get into the
nitty gritty of the so called references to

78
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:50,079
the so called dead and what they
brought to this. The all souls originally

79
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:55,279
wasn't scary. It was just,
you know, okay, we're paying attention

80
00:06:55,399 --> 00:07:00,600
to those people who have gone before
us, and their spirits really around us.

81
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:04,959
Do you believe in spare? I
have been to many spiritualist churches.

82
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:09,560
You ever been to a spiritualist church. I've not been to a spiritualist church,

83
00:07:09,639 --> 00:07:13,920
but I do believe, strongly believe, yeah, that there are spirits

84
00:07:13,959 --> 00:07:18,480
around us, that the people who
are not whose bodies are no longer alive,

85
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:24,240
have not disappeared. The well,
they choose whether they want to stick

86
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:27,319
around or they want to stick around. Some people are. That's the concept

87
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:30,759
of limbo that the Catholic Church.
If you're in limbo, you haven't gone,

88
00:07:31,079 --> 00:07:34,720
you haven't gone from this life to
the next life. You're stuck in

89
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:40,720
the transition. And that was one
of the early pagan mysteries of Halloween,

90
00:07:41,879 --> 00:07:46,079
wondering, you know. And then
they have these movies. Oh God,

91
00:07:46,199 --> 00:07:50,160
some of this stuff is horrible.
I think it is. Anyway, I

92
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:57,240
can't get my wrap myself around what
there is about that that people enjoy.

93
00:07:57,279 --> 00:08:00,279
But I know you like to go
to this stuff, how about yeah?

94
00:08:00,279 --> 00:08:03,040
I mean I have at an extent, though some of them just get a

95
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:09,319
little bit too much. Dracula's fangs. How about them? The zombies?

96
00:08:09,439 --> 00:08:13,759
So Chucker loves those damn zombies and
where they all came from. That was

97
00:08:13,839 --> 00:08:22,600
part of sam Hayne, and that
was all Hallow's Eve. All souls night

98
00:08:22,759 --> 00:08:26,319
was last night, I think,
and all souls day and night. That

99
00:08:26,399 --> 00:08:31,439
goes back to the eighteen hundreds.
I just I'm looking at some of the

100
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:37,360
traditions here. It used to be
that people in Scotland would spend the day

101
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:43,639
reading poetry, telling jokes and singing. There was a lot of food to

102
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:48,840
honor the dead. That was in
the fifteen hundreds, early sixteen hundreds.

103
00:08:48,159 --> 00:08:54,120
And then bring us around to May
of sixteen ninety three when the first witch

104
00:08:54,279 --> 00:09:03,720
was burned in Salem. The Salem
Witch Trials q torturing, killing those nineteen

105
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:13,240
women they were accused of and they
burned them all on the same day.

106
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:22,600
So should we de emphasize the goblins
and ghosts? Should we have? Are

107
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:26,799
a lot of things that now because
of the pumpkins and eating pumpkin pie and

108
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:31,320
having all that candy. That sort
of thing. Trick or treating started in

109
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:37,840
the nineteen twenties in our country and
people going to door in the neighborhood,

110
00:09:37,879 --> 00:09:45,039
door to door, and the trick
or treat thing was kind of an American

111
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:50,720
tradition. And again I don't know
how it actually relates to the early Christian

112
00:09:50,799 --> 00:09:56,399
influence here, but there is a
lot of it. Mirrors, mirror,

113
00:09:56,440 --> 00:10:01,240
mirror on the wall. Who's the
ugliest of the scariest of them all?

114
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:07,440
The wondering when the illumination of pumpkins
started, you know, putting a candle

115
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:13,159
or something, the idea bringing light
to the dark, mm hmm, and

116
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:18,039
all the different things it was that
one to ward off the evil spirits,

117
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:22,039
the light in the dark. Yeah, yeah, so uh. And then

118
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:28,919
the psychics that that prevail on Hallowell. There are a lot of good psychics

119
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:31,840
around. People say, my friend
are together is a psychic? I don't

120
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:37,080
know about that. Here's the list
of the most popular Halloween costumes. You're

121
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:46,559
ready that awful television show Chucky.
No, but it's a TV show now,

122
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,519
Oh, there's a TV show on
USA. Yeah, it's awful.

123
00:10:50,879 --> 00:10:58,200
Oh okay, so that's number ten. Clowns are number nine, Cowboys are

124
00:10:58,279 --> 00:11:03,320
number eight. Let's see here,
Fairies are number seven. Croella for whatever

125
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:11,240
the reason is number six. Spider
Man and movie characters like Captain America.

126
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:16,440
You know, all those various characters. Those are kind of super heroes together,

127
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:26,360
right exactly. The top costume in
Nashville is a rabbit. That's funny.

128
00:11:26,879 --> 00:11:33,039
I like envisioning the Christmas story pink
rabbit costume. Yeah, one of

129
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:37,279
the kids when I was at the
carving, the pumpkin carving this weekend,

130
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:43,200
wore that smart that face from that
horrible creature, the black face with the

131
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:48,399
white lips and stuff. All Right, I guess I've done. Let's turn

132
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:56,600
this out for a while in this
portion of every hour. And I'm always

133
00:11:56,600 --> 00:12:01,080
happy to talk about Adele. I
just kind of like her energy, like

134
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:05,639
her music, kind of like the
way she looks at life, or how

135
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:09,240
she's learned from her experiences in life. We can all get a lesson from

136
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:13,799
that, because we're all learning through
our experience as much as anything else.

137
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:16,759
At her performance in one of her
concerts, felt like she just had to

138
00:12:16,799 --> 00:12:22,600
say hello to somebody who was very
special in her life. And this is

139
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:28,559
the coolest thing. Actually, the
coliseum in Caesar's Palace is where she has

140
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:35,120
stopped to spend her weekends singing to
folks. And she looked down in the

141
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:39,879
audience and she saw the doctor who
delivered her son, and she said to

142
00:12:39,919 --> 00:12:46,120
him, I'm desperate for another.
She stopped the middle of a song to

143
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:50,240
look back at this doctor who delivered
her son back in twenty twelve. And

144
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:56,279
I can imagine what the doctor thought. And it was not clear to me

145
00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:58,679
whether she knew he was there before
she did it. She did it.

146
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:03,759
She had no idea he was there, because she's there for her residencies,

147
00:13:03,759 --> 00:13:05,480
and she looks out into the crowd. She engages with the audience all over

148
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:09,480
the time, and she happened to
see him and it just totally had taken

149
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:13,039
her aback that she stopped the song. And then she also got very emotional

150
00:13:13,039 --> 00:13:18,480
because he delivered her baby and who
is definitely now. He was born in

151
00:13:18,519 --> 00:13:20,879
like twenty twelve, so he's a
little bit older, but still young.

152
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:26,320
And she just got emotional to the
point where she tried to start singing again

153
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:28,039
and she couldn't. She was like, okay, you guys all need to

154
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:31,960
sing for me, and she encouraged
like this massive sing along with her audience.

155
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:35,679
Yeah, I'm actually a little emotional
and by her myself thinking about the

156
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:41,600
birth of my children and who delivered
my son and my daughter. How about

157
00:13:41,639 --> 00:13:46,960
you when you you have the doctor
that gave you mac in a sense gave

158
00:13:48,039 --> 00:13:52,159
birth. Oh yeah's word her.
She was fantastic. Yeah. Have you

159
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:58,120
seen her since you delivered your baby? No, she's in Nashville. I

160
00:13:58,279 --> 00:14:05,440
moved away from Nashville. Yeah yeah, yeah. Anyway, so Adele talking

161
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:11,240
to this doctor has said, I'm
desperate for another baby. Ye. Bonnie

162
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:15,720
Hell, she's always very basic.
That's one of the things I like about

163
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:18,919
her. She's very so funny.
Yeah, she's got it. Yeah she

164
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:26,840
does. She has it. She
told the crowd. They somebody in the

165
00:14:26,879 --> 00:14:31,240
crowd was looking for help choosing a
baby name. And that went on too

166
00:14:31,399 --> 00:14:35,720
for a while. I'm Greg I'm
sixty eight years old. I grew up

167
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:39,720
in Cleveland, Ohio. Majored in
business administration. I do motivational speaking in

168
00:14:39,759 --> 00:14:43,360
addition to substitute teaching. Part of
the reason for my motivational speaking is I

169
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:46,639
kind of feel like I have a
calling or giving back to the younger generation.

170
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:50,320
You know, the golden rule is
doing the others you'd have them doing

171
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:54,360
to you. My wife, Wanda, is a senior flight attendant. She's

172
00:14:54,399 --> 00:14:58,320
been flying for over thirty years.
We do laugh by a bit. I

173
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:01,480
think most adults will start realizing that
they don't recall things as quickly as they

174
00:15:01,559 --> 00:15:05,600
used to, or they don't remember
things as vividly as they once did.

175
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:11,559
I've been taking Prevagen for about three
years now. People say to me periodical,

176
00:15:11,679 --> 00:15:16,799
Man, you got a memory like
an alphant. It's really really helped

177
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:20,879
me tremendously. Provagen healthier brain,
better life. Greg Freeley is a paid

disease. The question of the moment

181
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:41,679
has to do with superstitions. Are
you superstitious, Jay? Yes? How

182
00:15:41,759 --> 00:15:48,799
much? I will not walk under
a ladder? Yeah, I will not

183
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:52,240
open an umbrella inside of the house. If I spill salts, I will

184
00:15:52,279 --> 00:15:56,399
be throwing it over my shoulder.
Yeah. If I break a mirror,

185
00:15:56,399 --> 00:16:02,679
I will be burying it. Really, what about you, Doug. I

186
00:16:02,799 --> 00:16:07,559
have had my moments when I didn't
want to walk under a ladder or do

187
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:15,360
other things. They're silly superstitions,
serious superstitions. Sometimes, people who are

188
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:22,440
really superstitious, the way they think
affects their decisions on how they behave in

189
00:16:22,519 --> 00:16:30,159
life. The people who you know, gamble and they blow into the dice,

190
00:16:30,799 --> 00:16:37,360
right, stuff like that. There
are a lot of different superstitions.

191
00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:47,960
Some people believe that witches can fly. There are some people who put their

192
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:55,480
clothing on today inside out because they
think and they walk backward instead of forward.

193
00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:59,120
Listen, that's kind of all right. James Collins is in the main

194
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:03,120
studio now, our new studio in
Dallas. What superstitions do you have?

195
00:17:03,919 --> 00:17:07,240
I can't believe, you know,
I have some, even little superstitions.

196
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:11,480
You know. So my girlfriend's a
little like she practices witchcraft and all that

197
00:17:11,519 --> 00:17:14,599
stuff. So I have a yeah, a little bit. Yeah. So

198
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:18,599
we kind of go through life thinking
about all the stuff. Don't walk under

199
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:23,279
the ladders, throw the salt over
the shoulder. Of gosh, there's one

200
00:17:23,319 --> 00:17:27,599
that we had the other day.
Oh gosh, I can't remember a lot

201
00:17:27,599 --> 00:17:32,200
of what Jay said honestly, Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh, spilling,

202
00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:34,839
spilling salts. If you spilt salt, like when you're cooking something,

203
00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:38,839
then you have to counteract it by
like sweeping all the salt into a broom

204
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:44,160
and then like dumpingg in the trash. Make sure that you That just sounds

205
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:48,960
like cleaning actually, and I'm thinking
about it, I said it out loud.

206
00:17:48,039 --> 00:17:55,720
Yeah. The first commercial Halloween card
was made in nineteen twenty. It

207
00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:59,880
was I think that was when Hallmark
began, wasn't it right after World War

208
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:03,920
One of them not mistaken well?
And who is soulmarked to miss out on

209
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:10,839
any holidays? I know right now
exactly. Yeah. Up in Vermont they

210
00:18:11,079 --> 00:18:18,200
celebrate Cabbage Night, the night before
Halloween. The tradition is all souls Night,

211
00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:23,440
but Cabbage Night is something up there. And then I was, yeah,

212
00:18:23,599 --> 00:18:29,880
cabbage can be wonderful to fix it
the right way, the tradition or

213
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:37,799
whatever there is. In terms of
believing in vampires, because there are according

214
00:18:37,839 --> 00:18:42,359
to some real life vampires, there
are some people who say witches exist,

215
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:48,680
warlocks exist, that sort of thing, And so I wonder whether you're just

216
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:53,000
putting on a dracula suit for it
tonight or is there really some there is

217
00:18:53,039 --> 00:19:00,119
a one of the religious tradition,
not religions. Well, Paganism believed in

218
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:07,000
vampire ism, and the vampire supposedly, according to tradition, have some kind

219
00:19:07,039 --> 00:19:15,319
of chemical attached to their teeth.
This is this is kind of like who

220
00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:19,000
wrote there was a was a bram
Stoker? Yeah, wasn't it that did

221
00:19:19,039 --> 00:19:29,720
the Dracula thing? And so that's
what popularized drinking blood and so the blood

222
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:34,599
all over the there's a there's a
I remember one friend that I had who

223
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:41,720
was of the female persuasion thought that
the vampire was a sexy Some people do.

224
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:48,839
I mean Twilight series, a lot
of about that Twilight. Yeah,

225
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:52,559
you don't think Edward from Twilight is
a little hot? No? Who to

226
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:55,920
me? Are you trying to jay? I don't know. I didn't see

227
00:19:55,920 --> 00:20:02,240
any of that stuff, but I
know that there are people who believe metaphorically

228
00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:07,200
and it's it's exciting to people.
Some people get turned on by that stuff.

229
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:14,160
Others are scared. I would probably
be I would not be happy.

230
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:17,559
There are some people that do drink, but we've all heard of image of

231
00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:23,599
vampires. Those exist, Oh yeah, absolutely. And then there's the tradition

232
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:30,640
that started a long time ago of
being of having somebody. This actually happens

233
00:20:30,759 --> 00:20:36,480
in some places. They'll hire out
a funeral home and they'll put a bunch

234
00:20:36,519 --> 00:20:41,720
of people into a coffin, and
you have to go around the funeral home

235
00:20:41,759 --> 00:20:48,119
and decide who's dead and who's alive. How about that. That's coming serious.

236
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:56,920
That's a thing. That's a thing. Oh my god, people are

237
00:20:56,960 --> 00:21:02,920
crazy, right, all right?
Candy corn. We got candy corn,

238
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:07,359
if that seems to still be the
favorite. Candy corn was first made in

239
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:11,039
nineteen hundred. We were talking about
this yesterday in the Food, Farm and

240
00:21:11,079 --> 00:21:17,680
Family department. Corn syrup, sugar, and there are a lot of other

241
00:21:17,759 --> 00:21:22,559
little things like marshmallows that some people
put into them and they come through a

242
00:21:22,599 --> 00:21:30,079
tube in order to make that there's
a mold that they put them in and

243
00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:34,839
so now, but candy corn has
been around for a long time. One

244
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:40,960
serving of candy corn contains one hundred
and forty calories. Not to turn anybody

245
00:21:41,039 --> 00:21:45,319
off to that stuff, right,
So, if I were to pass along,

246
00:21:45,799 --> 00:21:48,240
maybe this is the practical side.
We've been talking about, the silly

247
00:21:48,279 --> 00:21:51,559
side, because I think Halloween we
ought to spend time on this instead of

248
00:21:51,599 --> 00:21:55,440
going to the Middle East, and
instead of talking about Trump and Biden and

249
00:21:55,480 --> 00:22:02,039
stuff and poor Matthew Perry. This
is probably as relevant as I can get

250
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:08,079
and feel good about this as the
day progresses. So if you're going out

251
00:22:08,079 --> 00:22:15,079
tonight, please dress your children in
bright clothing, all right, and make

252
00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:21,079
sure if the child has a mask, the mask should not block the vision

253
00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:25,359
of the youngsters. It's better if
you go out early and you stay in

254
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:30,519
groups. Certainly there should be adults
with all, especially the younger children.

255
00:22:30,079 --> 00:22:33,079
And for heaven's sakes, don't let
your children run in and out of the

256
00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:40,519
cars that are parked along the street. It's dangerous, as is exemplified by

257
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:45,759
this fourteen year old girl who is
critically injured after being hit by a haunted

258
00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:53,000
hay ride. The tractor pulling the
girl hit this girl. This is down

259
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:59,039
to Rhode Island. It happened in
Smithfield. She was working as an actor

260
00:22:59,079 --> 00:23:02,720
at the farm. She got to
run over by the tractor that had the

261
00:23:03,599 --> 00:23:06,720
Hey wagon. Just I do the
sun my farm. I used to do

262
00:23:06,759 --> 00:23:08,240
it all the time. I don't
do it anymore. I don't do Halloween.

263
00:23:08,519 --> 00:23:15,839
I didn't do Halloween particularly, I
don't like people on farm. Sometimes

264
00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:22,400
the farms that do aggritourism, they
go they Saturday and Sunday night or Friday

265
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:27,599
Saturday Sunday night. They have people
out with shotguns shooting trying to scare people.

266
00:23:29,319 --> 00:23:30,480
And that was kind of what was
going on at this is a farm.

267
00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:37,599
So fortunate he operated the tractor.
When he realized there was a problem

268
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:41,920
going on behind him, he stopped. And so apparently this girl all Ash's

269
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:45,359
critical injured, is going to be
okay. But this is part of it,

270
00:23:45,799 --> 00:23:49,319
right, This is part of kids
get so excited and they really do

271
00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:53,359
just start across the street and a
lot of drivers it's one of those things

272
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:56,720
that don't even go to sweel them
and be fully aware that there are a

273
00:23:56,799 --> 00:24:02,960
lot of people out that may not
be thinking have flashlights. Everybody should have

274
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:08,119
a flashlight with them. Yeah,
well, I think that the idea here

275
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:12,000
to have a flashlight's probably pretty practical. It used to be that we had

276
00:24:12,079 --> 00:24:15,880
daylight savings time that started by this
time, and so it was dark at

277
00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:18,799
four thirty. That's not necessarily the
case, but next week it will be,

278
00:24:18,839 --> 00:24:26,279
but not this week. And unfortunately, the idea of eating stuff while

279
00:24:26,279 --> 00:24:29,319
you're out and about, probably not
a good idea and need to inspect it

280
00:24:30,039 --> 00:24:33,839
unless it's something that's wrapped, and
then you know, then you don't have

281
00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:37,519
to worry about it so much.
I don't think you have to do anyway.

282
00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:40,960
So it's great business time for Caldron. I would think the phones would

283
00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:45,359
be ringing off the hook and people
would be ordering nauseum. That's right.

284
00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:48,240
You know. It'd be twenty five
years this April, and we've been helping

285
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:53,519
customers lose weight safely and effectively for
twenty five years. So if you need

286
00:24:53,559 --> 00:24:56,160
to lose a light, you've really
got to check it out on our website

287
00:24:56,200 --> 00:25:00,640
top loss dot com because, like
Doug said, it's so so much more

288
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:04,119
than just a white lost product.
I mean, we're not talking about a

289
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:07,079
quick, fake, fad product.
There are no drugs, there are no

290
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:11,799
stimulants. Our number one agreement is
collagen protein. I's got types one and

291
00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:15,200
three. That's for the muscle and
the joints, all right, and don't

292
00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:22,000
forget the ninety ninety special right now. Use the DJV code for free shipping

294
00:25:26,519 --> 00:25:30,480

295
00:25:30,519 --> 00:25:36,480
thanks to Elizabeth Miller here, one
of the great calitrinconsultants at top loss dot

296
00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:40,160
com. All right, so this
is not spooky, but it's kind of

297
00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:44,400
interesting because there's so many fans of
the boy bands that's still around. Jennifer

298
00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:49,200
would be jumping for joy And how
about you, Jay, I did enjoin

299
00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:52,920
you because on the Block. Don't
get me wrong. It was just slightly

300
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:56,279
before my time, or was it? So was Jennifer's few years. I

301
00:25:56,319 --> 00:25:59,599
was. I was a little too
young for it, even though I still

302
00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:00,680
like some of the songs, and
I mean, you still hear them and

303
00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:07,759
you it's just classic. And I
have a daughter sister, so yeah,

304
00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:12,599
I'm a fan of Donnie Wahlberg and
I like Blue Bloods. So the fact

305
00:26:12,599 --> 00:26:17,279
that he's putting the band back together, I'm not sure they ever were apart.

306
00:26:17,319 --> 00:26:22,720
They just do specific dates. Donny
and Joey McIntyre and Danny Wood,

307
00:26:22,559 --> 00:26:27,640
Jonathan and Jordan Knight New Kids on
the Block are going to kick off a

308
00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:33,680
summer tour at the Blossom Music Center
in Kyahoga Falls, just on up the

309
00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:38,480
street from where you are. Jay
on the fourteenth of June, and then

310
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:45,119
they're going to do forty dates around
the country, Phoenix, Dallas, Philly.

311
00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:51,599
They're going to the same place where
Farm Aid took place this year in

312
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:56,400
Noblesville, Indiana as well. So
what they're doing is the I'm sure the

313
00:26:56,519 --> 00:27:00,079
nineties music, right, that's what
they're Oh, they're going to do Who's

314
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:03,799
stuff? Yeah, yeah, I'm
sure, I'm sure they have some new

315
00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:08,759
things. But DJ Jazzy Jeff Paula
Abdul joining, it's going to be a

316
00:27:08,839 --> 00:27:14,680
lot of fun. Who's DJ Jazzy
Jeff? Do I stick my foot in

317
00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:18,839
my mouth with that question? He
was big with Will Smith back in the

318
00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:23,799
early nineties. It was also on
The Freshman Rhythm. Yeah, so he

319
00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:26,119
was. He was in that movie, in that TV show. Yeah,

320
00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:30,920
yeah, yeah, he was Will's
friend Jazz. Oh, okay, that's

321
00:27:30,079 --> 00:27:37,079
DJ Jazzy Jeff. Which came first
the name or his name associated was he

322
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:41,400
Jazzy on TV? Then he became
Jazzy Jeff or is he Jazz Jeff?

323
00:27:41,519 --> 00:27:45,519
It was Will Smith and DJ Jazzy
Jeff first when they got the Freshmans of

324
00:27:45,559 --> 00:27:48,359
bel Air. Okay, got it
all right. Meanwhile, back to New

325
00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:56,920
Kids, on the Block very nostalgic. The It's interesting to see the sorts

326
00:27:56,920 --> 00:28:02,400
of things they have. Do they
ever sing songs that aren't theirs? Are

327
00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:04,799
they? They kind of group that
pulls from other stuff as well, that

328
00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:10,839
people like that they know on these
reunion tours. I would think so,

329
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:14,039
because I've never been personally, I've
never been to a concert where somebody didn't

330
00:28:14,079 --> 00:28:18,240
cover at least one song for somebody
else. Yeah, all right, tickets

331
00:28:18,599 --> 00:28:22,920

Kids on the Block with a fan club
