Let's 144 00:07:29.800 --> 00:07:32.839 take good morning now to ABC's Jim Ryan. Jim, I 145 00:07:32.920 --> 00:07:35.839 hear that your favorite Halloween costume was Count Spatula. 146 00:07:36.199 --> 00:07:37.000 Count Spatula. 147 00:07:37.199 --> 00:07:39.240 Yeah, what is count Spatulo. 148 00:07:39.439 --> 00:07:41.519 Well, I cooked at a restaurant in high school. It 149 00:07:41.639 --> 00:07:44.279 was a Cocos rushaurant. I don't we don't have them 150 00:07:44.279 --> 00:07:46.240 here anymore, but I think you have some form of 151 00:07:46.279 --> 00:07:47.839 cocos restaurants in California. 152 00:07:47.879 --> 00:07:48.120 Yuess. 153 00:07:48.639 --> 00:07:51.759 So yeah, I cooked there, and so I got this idea, 154 00:07:51.879 --> 00:07:54.600 Count Spatuland I had a spatul in hand and a 155 00:07:54.639 --> 00:07:57.680 white dinner jacket and green face paint and yeah, thanky, 156 00:07:57.759 --> 00:07:58.439 pretty simple. 157 00:07:58.639 --> 00:08:01.879 I love that. Here's something that has become very simple, 158 00:08:01.959 --> 00:08:03.519 and that's betting on elections. 159 00:08:03.879 --> 00:08:05.639 It has All you have to do is go to 160 00:08:05.680 --> 00:08:09.680 the website a website. Robinhood has one now Robinhood the 161 00:08:09.720 --> 00:08:13.439 investor website, and there's one called Calshie which has proven 162 00:08:13.560 --> 00:08:15.879 very popular. And yeah, you can go on one of 163 00:08:15.879 --> 00:08:17.800 those sites and bet on the outcome of the election. 164 00:08:17.839 --> 00:08:20.000 What you're doing is actually purchasing a contract on a 165 00:08:20.040 --> 00:08:23.480 future event. So it's like buying a contract in the 166 00:08:23.480 --> 00:08:27.040 gold future market or oil futures. What you're betting on instead, though, 167 00:08:27.519 --> 00:08:31.600 is the outcome of next Tuesday's election. So yeah, it's 168 00:08:31.639 --> 00:08:36.399 the and it's all based on what the outcome is 169 00:08:36.840 --> 00:08:39.600 from what the White House says Okay, so they have 170 00:08:39.679 --> 00:08:42.600 to spell every single step out. So if you think, 171 00:08:43.000 --> 00:08:46.399 wait a minute, no, this was the election was stolen. Well, now, 172 00:08:46.559 --> 00:08:48.840 cal she goes by one site and that is the 173 00:08:48.879 --> 00:08:49.960 White House website. 174 00:08:50.159 --> 00:08:52.759 Okay, so you said that you're basically buying a contract, 175 00:08:52.799 --> 00:08:55.240 and so are you technically not betting? Is that how 176 00:08:55.240 --> 00:08:57.679 they get around the betting or are you technically betting? 177 00:08:57.879 --> 00:09:03.440 You're betting? Yeah, I think you're right, Potato patato, right, because, yeah, 178 00:09:03.600 --> 00:09:06.120 bert particularly contract is essentially the same as saying I 179 00:09:06.159 --> 00:09:07.799 think this person is going to win or that person 180 00:09:07.879 --> 00:09:11.039 is going to win. Interestingly enough, even if you want 181 00:09:11.320 --> 00:09:13.840 one of the candidates to win, you can still bet 182 00:09:13.879 --> 00:09:15.799 on the other one if you think that candidate is 183 00:09:15.840 --> 00:09:19.120 going to win. So is it an accurate reflection of 184 00:09:19.159 --> 00:09:21.440 how people are really feeling about the election, Maybe, at 185 00:09:21.519 --> 00:09:23.679 least in terms of how the betting community is feeling. 186 00:09:23.759 --> 00:09:28.360 Okay, and this is something new because it became legal. Yeah, 187 00:09:28.440 --> 00:09:31.519 when a federal judge made a ruling earlier this month, right. 188 00:09:31.559 --> 00:09:34.519 Right, an appeals court sided with this site called Calshi 189 00:09:34.679 --> 00:09:36.919 that it could go ahead and start taking bets on 190 00:09:36.919 --> 00:09:40.480 the presidential election. And so it opened up that avenue 191 00:09:40.519 --> 00:09:43.279 and suddenly people started dumping money into the market. Right now, 192 00:09:43.480 --> 00:09:46.639 one hundred and seventeen million dollars has been bet on 193 00:09:46.720 --> 00:09:51.120 the outcome of the presidential election. The Calshi app is 194 00:09:51.159 --> 00:09:54.720 at the top of the financial apps offered in the 195 00:09:54.879 --> 00:09:58.159 Apple app Store. It's above cash app, it's above PayPal, zell, 196 00:09:58.240 --> 00:10:00.240 all the rest of it's sitting there at the top. 197 00:10:00.600 --> 00:10:03.080 It just seems sort of wrong to me. Yeah, whatever, 198 00:10:03.320 --> 00:10:08.120 So you can bet on the presidential election. What other things? 199 00:10:08.120 --> 00:10:09.080 Can you bet on? Anything? 200 00:10:09.120 --> 00:10:10.639 Well, you can bet on how one or the other 201 00:10:10.759 --> 00:10:13.080 is going to do in the various states. You can 202 00:10:13.120 --> 00:10:16.799 bet on congressional races out there, you can bet on 203 00:10:16.799 --> 00:10:19.039 the Senate race here in Texas. You can bet on 204 00:10:19.159 --> 00:10:22.480 just about anything, anything political. And you know, obviously there 205 00:10:22.480 --> 00:10:25.960 have been prop bets on almost everything related to sports 206 00:10:26.000 --> 00:10:28.279 for years and years. This kind of is a way, 207 00:10:28.480 --> 00:10:31.000 I think, for for people to get up. But I 208 00:10:31.000 --> 00:10:34.440 think you're right. People have they feel a bit squeamish 209 00:10:34.480 --> 00:10:37.200 about it. This is supposed to be a serious thing 210 00:10:37.960 --> 00:10:40.919 deciding the future of the country, and I think folks 211 00:10:40.960 --> 00:10:42.960 feel a little squeamish about laying money on the. 212 00:10:42.960 --> 00:10:46.080 Outcome and can they do prop bets too, Like you know, 213 00:10:46.320 --> 00:10:48.240 at the super Bowl you can bet on what color 214 00:10:48.279 --> 00:10:50.279 the gatorade's going to be, like funky little things like 215 00:10:50.320 --> 00:10:52.240 that too. Or is it just the main races. 216 00:10:52.039 --> 00:10:54.879 What color tie or what color dress will the win 217 00:10:54.960 --> 00:10:57.519 or win at the we're at the inauguration, not that 218 00:10:57.559 --> 00:10:59.279 I've seen, but I wouldn't be a bit surprised, but 219 00:10:59.399 --> 00:10:59.759 what they. 220 00:11:01.000 --> 00:11:03.080 All right, we'll be watching for it, thank you. ABC's 221 00:11:03.120 --> 00:11:05.279 Jim Ryan. All Right, all right, let's get back to 222 00:11:05.320 --> 00:11:07.519 some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty 223 00:11:07.519 --> 00:11:10.399 four hour newsroom. This Halloween, Donald Trump showed up for 224 00:11:10.480 --> 00:11:14.000 his latest campaign rally in Green Bay, Wisconsin, in a 225 00:11:14.159 --> 00:11:17.559 mega themed garbage truck. He said the garbage truck was 226 00:11:17.600 --> 00:11:21.000 in honor of Kamala and Joe Biden, and I have. 227 00:11:20.919 --> 00:11:25.399 To begin by saying, two hundred and fifty million Americans 228 00:11:25.480 --> 00:11:26.639 are not garbage. 229 00:11:28.919 --> 00:11:32.960 The former president's garbage truck was because of President Biden's 230 00:11:33.000 --> 00:11:38.279 comment that Trump's supporters were garbage. A judge in Philadelphia 231 00:11:38.360 --> 00:11:40.559 is going to hear arguments this morning on the city 232 00:11:41.320 --> 00:11:44.360 Prosecutor's efforts to stop Elon Musk from giving out a 233 00:11:44.399 --> 00:11:47.399 million dollars a day to random people in swing states 234 00:11:47.639 --> 00:11:50.200 who sign a petition supporting the first and second amendments. 235 00:11:50.519 --> 00:11:54.759 The prosecutors say the giveaways are illegal. Musk is supporting 236 00:11:54.879 --> 00:11:58.679 former President Trump. Elon Musk has been ordered to appear 237 00:11:58.799 --> 00:12:02.000 in court as well. A group supporting the attorney running 238 00:12:02.000 --> 00:12:05.320 against LA City council member Kevin dal Lyon is urging 239 00:12:05.399 --> 00:12:08.799 voters in the fourteenth district to unseat daily On to 240 00:12:08.919 --> 00:12:13.720 benefit downtown and Northeast LA neighborhoods. The Women's March Action 241 00:12:13.879 --> 00:12:17.639 Group gathered in Boyle Heights yesterday to criticized da Leon's 242 00:12:17.720 --> 00:12:21.720 campaign tactics, which it says are harassment of his challenger, 243 00:12:21.879 --> 00:12:25.720 Isabelle Herado. She's been criticized for saying the F word 244 00:12:25.840 --> 00:12:30.120 about police while talking to college students. Thirty eight dogs 245 00:12:30.120 --> 00:12:32.799 have been impounded as a result of a sweep operation 246 00:12:32.919 --> 00:12:36.120 by the Riverside County Department of Animal Services. Officials say 247 00:12:36.159 --> 00:12:39.919 twenty one officers and shelter support staff visited about forty 248 00:12:39.960 --> 00:12:43.879 properties yesterday in the eastern Coachella Valley. Many of the 249 00:12:43.919 --> 00:12:46.919 dogs small breeds and puppies. They've been taken to the 250 00:12:47.039 --> 00:12:51.960 Coachella Valley Animal Campus in Thousand Palms North, Korea says 251 00:12:52.000 --> 00:12:56.519 it has tested a new intercontinental ballistic missile. ABC's Anthony 252 00:12:56.519 --> 00:12:58.960 Trotter says it traveled for about ninety minutes before it 253 00:12:59.039 --> 00:12:59.879 dropped into the Sea of The. 254 00:13:00.480 --> 00:13:03.879 US reports it was an ICBM belief capable of reaching 255 00:13:03.879 --> 00:13:04.440 the US. 256 00:13:04.799 --> 00:13:08.200 South Korean intelligence says the North has likely completed prep 257 00:13:08.279 --> 00:13:09.679 for a seventh nuclear test. 258 00:13:10.159 --> 00:13:12.559 The White House is condemning the test, saying it is 259 00:13:12.600 --> 00:13:18.279 a flagrant violation of multiple UN Security Council resolutions. People 260 00:13:18.320 --> 00:13:21.600 in LA can snag some free food by swapping their 261 00:13:21.679 --> 00:13:27.039 sauce packets. South Korean Ramen brand Bulldock is putting on 262 00:13:27.240 --> 00:13:30.639 a sauce exchange at the original Farmers Market to plug 263 00:13:30.679 --> 00:13:33.879 its new hot sauce. Customers can bring any condiment packet 264 00:13:33.960 --> 00:13:38.159 between November seventh through the tenth and exchange it for sliders, 265 00:13:38.240 --> 00:13:42.720 chicken wings, cauliflower nuggets, and steak kebabs. All sound delicious. 266 00:13:43.039 --> 00:13:46.600 They can also exchange sauce packets for Bulldock hot sauces 267 00:13:46.720 --> 00:13:49.720 and Ramen cups. Oh, I have to go check that out. 268 00:13:50.120 --> 00:13:54.159 How better to celebrate a World Series win than with looting? Okay, 269 00:13:54.159 --> 00:13:56.879 I was being a little sarcastic. Thousands of fans celebrated 270 00:13:57.240 --> 00:14:00.960 around LA after the Dodgers clinched the World Series title 271 00:14:01.080 --> 00:14:03.679 last night with a seven to six win over the Yankees. 272 00:14:04.000 --> 00:14:07.600 A Nike store in downtown LA was looted. People were 273 00:14:07.639 --> 00:14:10.360 seen breaking into the store and taking boxes of merchandise 274 00:14:10.440 --> 00:14:13.000 from it in front of Dodger Stadium. Police declared an 275 00:14:13.080 --> 00:14:16.080 unlawful assembly after fans took over the intersection and set 276 00:14:16.120 --> 00:14:19.399 off fireworks and set fire to a city bus. One 277 00:14:19.440 --> 00:14:21.840 of the Yankees fans who tried to grab a ball 278 00:14:21.960 --> 00:14:25.519 out of Mookie Betts's glove in Game four says he 279 00:14:25.559 --> 00:14:28.519 probably crossed the line. He told the La Times he's 280 00:14:28.679 --> 00:14:31.600 just a passionate fan and wanted to prevent an out 281 00:14:31.639 --> 00:14:34.639 for the Yankees. He and another fan were ejected from 282 00:14:34.639 --> 00:14:37.960 the game, and the MLB banned them from attending last 283 00:14:38.039 --> 00:14:41.799 night's Game five. Something stinks at the beach. Scientists say 284 00:14:41.840 --> 00:14:45.639 the stench that has had coastal residents holding their noses 285 00:14:45.679 --> 00:14:48.480 for about a week comes from an algae bloom that 286 00:14:48.679 --> 00:14:54.360 also created the glowing blue bioluminescence along the coast. As 287 00:14:54.399 --> 00:14:57.759 the bloom dies off, bacteria feeds on it that lowers 288 00:14:57.799 --> 00:15:01.559 oxygen levels and kills off fish smells like rotten eggs. Apparently, 289 00:15:03.120 --> 00:15:10.240 so it is Halloween. And as it turns out, Halloween 290 00:15:10.360 --> 00:15:13.720 is actually good for you because it scares the pants 291 00:15:13.840 --> 00:15:17.480 off of you. Let's say good morning to the professor 292 00:15:17.519 --> 00:15:24.039 of psychology at Penn State University, Sarah Collapse. You say, Sarah, 293 00:15:24.279 --> 00:15:27.000 that we love to be scared, and there's a psychological 294 00:15:27.039 --> 00:15:27.919 reason behind it. 295 00:15:28.679 --> 00:15:31.320 Yes, and it's look that everybody loves to be scared. 296 00:15:31.519 --> 00:15:35.559 But our attraction to these kinds of controlled fear experiences 297 00:15:35.559 --> 00:15:39.279 like haunted houses and scary movies does have some deep 298 00:15:39.360 --> 00:15:44.159 evolutionary roots and some deep adapted benefits. So one of 299 00:15:44.200 --> 00:15:47.039 the biggest ones is that we as human beings and 300 00:15:47.120 --> 00:15:49.000 a lot of other animals, have a fight or flight 301 00:15:49.039 --> 00:15:52.720 response when we experience fear or threat. And what we 302 00:15:52.759 --> 00:15:56.679 do is we have this surge of endorphins and adrenaline 303 00:15:56.720 --> 00:16:01.279 and we get really energized when we feel ourselves experiencing 304 00:16:01.399 --> 00:16:05.240 fear or danger, and in control fear experiences, we have 305 00:16:05.360 --> 00:16:09.159 this benefit of getting that kind of surgeus energy without 306 00:16:09.200 --> 00:16:12.320 any of the actual risk. And then once we come 307 00:16:12.360 --> 00:16:14.960 out of the haunted house or the scary movie ends, 308 00:16:15.039 --> 00:16:17.519 or the jump scar is over, we have a flood 309 00:16:17.559 --> 00:16:21.000 of dopamine, this kind of pleasure hormone in our brain 310 00:16:21.320 --> 00:16:24.600 that makes us experience relief. So there's this whole cycle 311 00:16:24.639 --> 00:16:28.840 of physiological responses that can be really attractive to us 312 00:16:29.159 --> 00:16:32.080 and can make us enjoy fearful experiences when we know 313 00:16:32.200 --> 00:16:33.440 we're actually safe. 314 00:16:33.600 --> 00:16:38.200 Okay, So then my question, Sarah, is why do we 315 00:16:38.320 --> 00:16:43.039 have these physical reactions to this? Like you said, we 316 00:16:43.080 --> 00:16:46.240 get adrenaline and we get endorphins and then we get dopamine, 317 00:16:46.279 --> 00:16:48.600 and boy don't we feel good? But why does our 318 00:16:48.639 --> 00:16:49.759 body do that to us? 319 00:16:50.559 --> 00:16:53.519 Well, again, it goes back to evolution and our need 320 00:16:53.639 --> 00:16:57.559 to survive and thrive as a species. When we perceive 321 00:16:57.679 --> 00:17:01.039 danger or threat, fight or flight is triggered, and it's 322 00:17:01.080 --> 00:17:03.440 going to be adaptive to us. Is going to give 323 00:17:03.519 --> 00:17:07.240 us energy in order to defend ourselves against a threat, 324 00:17:07.680 --> 00:17:10.599 or the energy we need in order to flee to 325 00:17:10.799 --> 00:17:15.640 leave that threat behind. So over our evolutionary past, humans 326 00:17:15.640 --> 00:17:19.119 who had this type of response were selected for because 327 00:17:19.160 --> 00:17:21.839 we were more likely to survive in a dangerous world. 328 00:17:22.400 --> 00:17:28.160 Okay, And then do these fake scares prepare us for 329 00:17:28.319 --> 00:17:29.240 real scares? 330 00:17:30.359 --> 00:17:34.079 That's what the research suggests. There's some really interesting work 331 00:17:34.119 --> 00:17:36.559 coming out of the Fear Lab in the Netherlands, and 332 00:17:36.599 --> 00:17:42.400 they were looking at individuals who were really regular fans 333 00:17:42.440 --> 00:17:46.799 of horror entertainment or fearful entertainment and how they reacted 334 00:17:46.839 --> 00:17:49.680 to the COVID nineteen pandemic. And what they found is 335 00:17:49.680 --> 00:17:52.640 that individuals who consumed more of this kind of scary 336 00:17:52.759 --> 00:17:57.240 media were actually psychologically more resilient in response to the 337 00:17:57.240 --> 00:18:02.160 pandemic than individuals who weren't engaging in that type of entertainment. 338 00:18:02.559 --> 00:18:05.799 And the thought is that we're training ourselves by consuming 339 00:18:06.440 --> 00:18:10.519 controlled fear experiences to know how to cope when we're 340 00:18:10.559 --> 00:18:13.400 scared or when we're in danger. And so when real 341 00:18:13.519 --> 00:18:16.799 fear presents itself, a real danger presents itself with better 342 00:18:16.920 --> 00:18:20.440 able to cope with that in an effective way. 343 00:18:20.759 --> 00:18:23.880 So producer Anne is much more well adjusted than I 344 00:18:23.920 --> 00:18:28.599 am because she loves this stuff. Here's another thing. When 345 00:18:28.599 --> 00:18:31.599 we went to Dark Harbor, Sarah, we were talking to 346 00:18:31.759 --> 00:18:34.359 one of the people who puts together the mazes, and 347 00:18:34.400 --> 00:18:38.599 I asked her why why do we do this to ourselves? 348 00:18:38.680 --> 00:18:41.319 Why do we love this? And she said, basically kind 349 00:18:41.319 --> 00:18:43.599 of along the same lines of what you're saying, is 350 00:18:43.599 --> 00:18:45.559 that people get a rush from it, and she said 351 00:18:45.599 --> 00:18:47.640 it actually kind of like you go out with your 352 00:18:47.640 --> 00:18:50.119 friends and you share this experience and it kind of 353 00:18:50.119 --> 00:18:51.240 brings you closer together. 354 00:18:52.400 --> 00:18:58.119 Absolutely. That's the other evolutionary I guess foundation is what's 355 00:18:58.160 --> 00:19:01.839 referred to as tend and befriend. We feel threatened, especially 356 00:19:01.880 --> 00:19:04.160 when we feel threatened in the presence of people we 357 00:19:04.279 --> 00:19:07.839 care about and we feel they're threatened too. We have 358 00:19:08.039 --> 00:19:13.559 this again physiological trigger. It's related to oxytocin the kind 359 00:19:13.559 --> 00:19:16.759 of bonding hormone that we have in our body, and 360 00:19:16.799 --> 00:19:19.480 we're more likely than to want to care for the 361 00:19:19.519 --> 00:19:23.240 people that are under threat in this dangerous situation because 362 00:19:23.240 --> 00:19:25.799 we care about them already. And so when we go 363 00:19:25.880 --> 00:19:28.079 through a haunted house with our friends, we come out 364 00:19:28.119 --> 00:19:31.400 of it feeling more bonded together. And we also see 365 00:19:31.400 --> 00:19:36.519 this in real dangerous experiences. You know, I'm a volunteer firefighter, 366 00:19:36.599 --> 00:19:39.400 and so when we go through a serious call together 367 00:19:39.519 --> 00:19:42.240 myself and my colleagues, you do feel this sense of 368 00:19:42.279 --> 00:19:45.839 bonding afterwards. And that's true in a lot of dangerous circumstances. 369 00:19:46.359 --> 00:19:48.839 Okay, so Sarah, then what does it say about producer 370 00:19:48.880 --> 00:19:50.559 an that she kept pushing me in front of her 371 00:19:50.599 --> 00:19:51.799 as we went through the maze. 372 00:19:53.519 --> 00:19:58.519 Okay, let's psychoanalyzed producer An.
