Thank you for listening to the John and Heidishow Bonus Hour on this Halloween edition.
Holy cow, it is. It's a bit chilly out there for Halloween,
so you're gonna see a lot of ghouls and goblins and and uh probably
some barbies and Ken's all dressed up with coats tonight. I'll bet again,
if you're gonna be out and about, be very safe, be very cautious,
be very careful. I know there are several things that are still happening,
Like we've got the Suit Falls Jc's Haunted House out at the wh Lion
Fairgrounds. They call that the Fear Grounds. That's still happening today. It's
a last day. So if you wanted to go, if you won tickets
from us here at Sonny and I know I got a couple of those left
here. So there's some folks at want tickets that we never did get them
to you. So if you would like to get those tickets, we should
still connect. Man, Hey, get a hold of me. You have
your people call my people. Wait a minute, I just remember to have
no people. You're gonna have to call me, and then we're gonna make
sure that we get those to you, because again, tonight is the final
night for the suit Falls Jc's Haunted House. It's at the wh Lion Fairgrounds.
They call the Haunted House the Fear Grounds. See ah ah, how
cool is that? It's pretty spooky too. I talked to some folks that
went to it. They said it was very very good. So I like
that. And there's a lot of other fun stuff that we're gonna be getting
to this week. I want to let you know about something that's coming up
here the Singing Legioneers. This is coming up this Friday, November third,
at seven, they are going to be having a thing at the Sioux Falls
American Legion. They're gonna be hosting their poultry party, and this will be
at the Alliance Building, sixteen hundred West Russell Street. And again, if
this is something you'd like to go to, everybody is invited to join in.
They can play bingo, there's chances for turkeys. You'll win turkeys and
hams for upcoming Thanksgiving holiday, and also drawings for like a fifty to fifty
raffle. It's all happening on November the third, that is this Friday,
November third. Tickets can be purchased for the evening prior to the event,
or you can just go there and buy your tickets that night. You do
not need to be present to win, by the way, So if you'd
like to just buy the fifty to fifty raffle, or if you'd like to
buy tickets or whatever, you can get those in advance. But again,
huge naked to the Singing Legionnaires for putting that on and again I'll see if
I can chat with one of them between now and Friday to give more details.
But that's coming up this Friday, and coming up right now I have,
is this right? Holy cow? Jack Osbourne? Yeah, Ozzy Osbourne's
son. You probably had a chance to watch him on TV. He had

Halloween. Excited to have Jack Osborne joining me right now. You might know
his dad, Ozzy Osbourne, his mom Sharon Osborne, and of course they
were all on the TV program. We got to watch this young man grow
up. Now he's got a couple of different podcasts, one with the Family,
and he's got another one that just recently started called Ghosts and Grit.
And this looks pretty cool. Jack. How you doing, man, I'm
doing very well. Thanks for having me on. So this new podcast,
Ghosts and Grit, first of all, cool idea. So tell me a
little bit about the concept and where this idea came from. You know,
I wanted to do a podcast for a really long time, and I've been
trying to figure out, Okay, like what am I going to do it
on, how am I going to make it a bit different? And it
kind of taps into two of my kind of buckets that I operate from.
You know, I do a lot of stuff in the parer normal and making
TV shows and going on investigations. But you know, I think that grit
is something that isn't really talked about enough as far as being a driving force
behind successful people. So I decided to blend the two and those are the
kind of the subjects we cover on my podcast with guests. So ghosts and
Grit, and you've got to find people out there with grit? Is is
it hard to find people in twenty twenty three that still have that thing called
grit. Yeah, I think so, you know, and we are.
The through line with the guests on the show is that they have to be
you know, that there's a level of success with all of them. And
I think, you know, it's my belief that grit is something that that's
a you know, a defining characteristic that is a driving force behind success,
like you have to be. It doesn't matter what you do, if you're
successful, you've got you've got to have grit for the perseverance. And I'm
sure there are some people listening that maybe have never even heard the word grit
before. But the way I understand it, grit would kind of be,
you know, when you get knocked down, you get back up, you
dust yourself off, and you keep on moving. Is that is that kind
of right? Yeah? Exactly, It's that. It's it's a perseverance.
It's it's willingness to kind of do whatever it takes, you know, never
given up. It's you know, it's everything like that, And I think
people quit too easily. I remember reading one time the average sale is made
on the fifth call, but the average sales person only makes three calls.
So I think when you are determined and have grit, you succeed more.
Absolutely, I mean and and and that's and that's the thing. Anyone who
is at the top of that game, anyone who is successful, have all
had to keep pushing on when you know, go hot and and that's that's
the name of the game behind it. And in addition to the podcast we've
been talking about Ghost and Grit, you've got the Osbourne podcast as well.
Now that is like the entire family working together on that podcast, right,
Yeah, they're all there. It's yeah, it's it's a riot. We
uh you know. We recorded at my parent's house and there like a little
basement movie theater that we that we record the podcast in. And and there
are definite highs and there are definite loads. Again, we're chatting right now
with Jack Osbourne. Now, he was on television while he was growing up.
Jack, that's got to be a weird And again, everybody who wanted
to could kind of peer into your living room with that TV program as you
were just a youngster and watch you grow up. That's not how most people
grow up. That's a little unusual, isn't it. Yeah. I was
at the time, you know, I was I was a teenager and we
shut that show from when I was fifteen to nineteen, and I'll tell who
you are. Those are not the most remarkable years of anyone's life, they're
the most If anything, they're the most awkward. So it was tough at
the time because I just I don't none of us were really mentally prepared for
the life shift that that show led to. But that being said, it's
as an adult now with kids, I kind of like the fact that I've
got it all those years fully documented, because when my kids start kind of
acting up and you know that in the teenage years, I'm just gonna sit
them down and be like, hey, listen, like everything that you think
you're doing the original and I don't understand watch the absolutely And speaking of television,
Special Forces World's Toughest Test, what was it like to be a part
of that? And it was it was really really tough. They do not
lie with you know, declaring it one of the world's toughest tests because they
ground us down so hard it never lets up. The intensity of that show
is something that it doesn't even they can't capture really on camera how intense it
is. And even from the time your original TV program was on until now
things have changed so much. Back in the day, if I wanted to
watch that, I had to set like a DVR or a VCR or something
and record it. Now with streaming, I could just watch anything I want
to watch whenever I want to watch it, which is just a whole completely
different way of doing things. Do you feel it's made programming like TV programs
better? You know, it's it's tough. I think that a lot of
networks they weren't prepared to how it was going to shift the way people consume
content. You know, it is great to kind of have this Alacott experience,
but it also now there's so much content out there between you know,
all the platforms, you know, traditional TV and YouTube and Wholu and all
these other places to go. Where I think it has you know, viewership
is down but in what in some ways, but I also think it's up
in others to where people just have more variety. Absolutely again. Our guest
today on this Halloween edition of The John and Heidi Show Bonus Hour, Jack
Osborne. Jack, thanks again for your time. Thank you. Yeah,
that's been great chatting with you and you have a great day. Absolutely again.

in Sioux Falls History, brought to you by the Sup Falls Fun Page,
West Sue Studios and Sunny ninety three point three. It was on this day,
October thirty first, nineteen sixty eight, we saw the grand opening of
the Western Mall. It was the first mall in Sioux Falls, and it
served as an experiment to discover if citizens would embrace an interconnected indoor shopping Center,
and it worked. Gone were the days where you had to fight for
downtown parking, bear the cold in between stores, and search for a great
place to grab a snack and all of the other inconveniences of early shopping.
You could simply park the car and bounce from store to store, all inside
the climate controlled, dry confines of a beautiful, brand new mall. And
of course, the success of the mall would lead to the death of downtown,
as copycat shopping centers like the Empire Mall and Newtown Mall would follow suit
a few years later, completely transitioning the Sioux Fall shopping district at the time
from downtown to West forty first Street. This day in Sioux Fall's history has
been brought to you by the Sioux Falls Fun Page, West Zoux Studios and
Sunny ninety three point three. Give you self credit. It may be time
