ASK US ANYTHING TODAY! It can be radio question, a personal question or any sort of question except a math question. I don't do math questions.
IT'S THE ANNIVERSARY OF THE GREATEST HALLOWEEN TRICK OF ALL TIME And if you've never listened to Orson Welles' War of the Worlds, it's absolutely genius. So genius it caused panic in the streets as people believed we were being attacked by aliens. It premiered way back in 1938 on this day and stands as one of the greatest moments in radio history and a testament to great storytelling done well. I've found it so you can listen.
SO IT TRICK OR TREATING A GO AT YOUR HOUSE? My Next Door app has been full of comments about trick or treating. If you are going to participate, what does that look like in a covid year? I've seen people talking about giving candy out by tongs, or even tossing it to the kids. What's going on at your house?
WHAT CANDY TAX WILL YOU BE COLLECTING TOMORROW NIGHT? All parents and all kids should know about the candy tax. It's the candy that you take from your kids when they get done trick or treating. Mine used to be Snickers and Reese's but since I've pretty much given up sugar, the Q will have a very low tax bill this year.
IT'S TIME FOR THE IDIOTIC TIME CHANGE AGAIN And if you've listened to the show during Spring Forward you know this is the thing I hate more than anything in the world. I know we're getting our hour back tonight. It doesn't matter. This time change business is just a dumb idea that has proven to be useless in it's intended goal of saving energy and we need to choose a freaking time and STICK WITH IT. I don't even CARE which time we choose, just do it already. Standard time is more closely geared towards our natural circadian rhythms and preferred by slightly more people in the latest polling. If I were to run for President, this would be the top of my platform. Seven out of 10 Americans wish would just stop the madness already.
ONE POLISH GYM BECOMES A HOUSE OF BODY WORSHIP BECAUSE OF COVID And if you are afraid your business is going under, adapt and overcome. This Polish gym owner has rebranded as a "Church of the Healthy Body" and calls it's trainers "Elder Council". Heh. It's funny but sad they have been pushed to these lengths.
IF YOU'RE JUST DISCOVERING THE GREAT OUTDOORS DON'T BE A LITTERING AHOLE Our state parks have been overwhelmed with new people because of covid, which is good. We live in an amazing state full of natural beauty. However a lot of these "newbies" are trashing the places they came to visit and leaving masses of garbage, including FURNITURE at a lake on Pueblo. SERIOUSLY? I think littering in a state park should come with mandatory community service picking up trash.
GLENN GREENWALD GOT CENSORED BY HIS OWN NEWS OUTFIT AND QUIT And if you don't know who Glenn Greenwald is he's the guy who published the Wikileaks papers. He's no right winger, but his is journalist who believes that journalism should be about digging for the truth, wherever that is. He wrote a column for The Intercept the news outfit HE created to avoid having to be censored by editors, and because he didn't tow the company line in THIS column, they tried to censor him and he quit.. It's a fascinating story laid out beautifully by Matt Taibbi, another guy who follows the truth. They are both long, but MUST read. MUST.
HERE IS ANOTHER STORY ABOUT THE MEDIA COVERING FOR BIDEN ON THE BURISMA STORY And it's got more information about how Biden interfered to get a Ukrainian prosecutor fired to benefit his son.
WALMART IS WORRIED ABOUT LOOTING SO THEY ARE MOVING THEIR GUNS Go to Walmart shopping for guns and ammo and be prepared to need help to get them from the back. Walmart is locking up their guns and ammo in preparation for the election. They have taken this measure because they believe stores could potentially be looted if Joe Biden loses and the Left riots. You know why I say it like that? Because the Right doesn't really riot, they form the Tea Party and read the Federalist papers.
READY FOR A SWEET STORY ABOUT THE POST OFFICE? And specifically one postman who has befriended a little boy who wants to be a mailman when he grows up.
HEY LOOK AT THIS COOL TWITTER THREAD ON SWEDEN! I love it when people do side by side comparisons of places with similar size populations but handled coronavirus differently. This one is about Illinois vs. Sweden. Illinois has had some serious lockdowns, a mask mandate and more. Sweden, we all know what they did. Check this out. Some of these are repetitive because of how they embedded.
SAM IS GONNA BE SOMETHING BIG SOMEDAY This kid and his dad made a rap about the ABCs and it's literally the best thing you'll see all year. He memorized this by the way. I can't make the embed work for some reason but you need to click here and check him out, it's WONDERFUL!
HAVING A POSITIVE OUTLOOK COULD SLOW MENTAL DECLINE And if this is the case, I'm going to be GREAT when I'm old as a relentless optimist. Check out the details here and....
UPS FOUND TUCKER CARLSON'S MISSING DOCUMENTS So all the people who said he was lying about said documents can shut up. I said yesterday he deserved to be mocked BECAUSE HE ADMITTED HE LOST THE DOCUMENTS. Now we know UPS was the culprit.
FEMINISTS CAN STOP PRETENDING THEY ARE FOR WOMEN NOW Based on the way the feminist community has responded to the confirmation of Amy Coney Barrett the jig is officially up and they need to admit they are for women but only as long as women agree with them. Full stop. Perfect example, the Girl Scouts sent out a tweet congratulating Barrett on becoming of of the five women who have made it to the Supreme Court. Not JUST Justice Barrett, but ALL of the women who have been on the court were on the tweet. Brave feminists vowed to give up Thin Mints forever, and since overweight angry women buy a lot of cookies, the Girl Scouts retracted their tweet. This pretty much ends the noble cause of feminism in my mind.
JOHN STOSSEL REMINDS US OF HOW FAR WE'VE COME And if this election is stressing you out, this will help give you the perspective you've been missing.
AND NOW A COP GOES TO A WEDDING OF A LITTLE GIRL HE SAVED
