News Radio one thousand KTOK in Oklahoma City. Love to

of course we're so grateful you came for the podcast.

Speaker 2 (00:20):
Enjoy one, two three, starting your morning off right.

Speaker 3 (00:25):
A new way of talk, a new way of understanding,
because we're in this together.

Speaker 2 (00:32):
This is your morning show with Michael O'Dell.

Speaker 1 (00:36):
Jordan, Rise and shine and good morning. Welcome to Tuesday,
October the twenty ninth. Yeah, I'm our law to twenty
twenty four. Why Halloween is just around the corner and
they have selected the tree for Rockefeller Centers of Christmas.

Speaker 2 (00:48):
Can't be far off. Let's do our.

Speaker 1 (00:50):
Best to keep focused and understanding this Tuesday, October the
twenty ninth. I am Michael del journal with the controls
is Jeffrey Lyon. We don't sleep much anymore.

Speaker 2 (00:57):
No, we do not. A lot of people ask me,
do you what times your show start?

Speaker 4 (01:02):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (01:02):
Five am Central? Yeah, what time do you start working?
Oh about three three fifteen? Yeah, well, what time do
you get up? About three three fifteen? Oh, so what
time do you go to bed? Ten eleven?

Speaker 2 (01:15):
Are you staying up that late? There was no way.
I was a very bad boy yesterday. Okay, naughty, naughty,
naughty boy? All right.

Speaker 1 (01:24):
So I have a couple of weaknesses, and one is
the Lincoln Lawyer. Oh and they released the new season
and it's been sitting there, and so I thought, well,
let me take a peek.

Speaker 2 (01:33):
Oh boy, just a little peak.

Speaker 1 (01:35):
Yeah, who's gonna bother me if I take, you know,
a couple of minutes to see one of my favorite
you know actors.

Speaker 2 (01:42):
A couple of minutes.

Speaker 1 (01:42):
I love the guy who is a Lincoln Lawyer a
couple of episodes and he always goes to a street
defender for a street taco or something, and he makes
you want to have one so bad. So is it
as it worked out yesterday? My naughtiness was rewarded. Well,
one thing led to another. I watched the entire season.

Speaker 2 (01:58):
Did you really how many?

Speaker 1 (01:59):
Was I even watched? This is really this is like
turning your man card. Sad confession. I didn't finish the
final episode until the third ending of the World Series.
I wasn't even I never missed a Yankee regular season
game all year, and I didn't even watched the first
three innings. Of course wanted to lose. Now we're down
three games nothing whom I get swept. I'll be on
suicide watch by Thursday. The Yankees for Halloween are going

(02:22):
as a World Series team.

Speaker 2 (02:26):
Which they'd start tonight wearing it.

Speaker 1 (02:29):
But then, of all the things, my wife made fajita
fajita raps.

Speaker 2 (02:33):
Uh uh, so.

Speaker 1 (02:34):
I got to eat watch my Lincoln Lawyer while I
was eating a fijita rap. Yeah, it's fun. That was
a total binge. I haven't done that a long time.
So how many episodes are there, ten or eleven or twelve,
I don't know, whatever it was.

Speaker 2 (02:49):
I watched all of them until Night Hours of Lincoln Lawyer.

Speaker 1 (02:52):
And well, now you're like exposing me to the company
that perhaps yesterday I was part time radio, full.

Speaker 2 (02:59):
Time Lincolnawy.

Speaker 1 (03:02):
Which shows in the past, if they had released like
in seasons, would we have binged? I mean, I don't
think we would have binged. Love Vote like that or
No No twenty two or Charlie's Angels, or.

Speaker 2 (03:13):
As a child, I did binge Andy Griffith on VHS.
Does that count? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (03:21):
Ok, I guess it's a lot of whistling. Yes, yeah,
well it was anyway, that was my day, journey of discovery. Today,
if the in the twenty twenty election should properly and finally,
Donald Trump is framing it the way it should be,
it should be remembered as the COVID election.

Speaker 2 (03:40):
Where laws were changed. It was the male in election.

Speaker 1 (03:44):
It was one before it was ever even election day.
This one might be known as the Early voting or
the Great Republican Awakening Early voting election. But that sounded dramatic,
doesn't it. I should talk more like that. I should
take this job more seriously, dramatic things like that.

Speaker 2 (04:03):
Let me tell you.

Speaker 1 (04:03):
I want to drop it all and become a lawyer, okay,
and move to Los Angeles.

Speaker 2 (04:08):
I want to have a house with a nice view.
But I want to drive on a lot of dusty roads.
I'm an office in the back of your car. That's it.
I'm going to be. You know what.

Speaker 1 (04:15):
I almost did it, Nick, and I remember the commercials
with Matthew McConaughey for Lincoln.

Speaker 2 (04:21):
Oh yeah, he really made you want to have a Lincoln.
Where he's rolling the booger.

Speaker 1 (04:25):
I don't remember I'm rolling well when he was talking yet,
but he made it look so nice. So this is
how impressionable and impulsive I am. So I get up
one morning like a nick Yeah, today we're going to
go buy a Lincoln, and we're going to drive around.

Speaker 2 (04:39):
And talk to ourselves.

Speaker 1 (04:41):
Now, most people would think, you know, they'd be worried
about their father if he said something that Nicko was.
Oh right, let's go yeah, because nick gets me. No,
he has a deep voice. So we get to the dealership.
I'm trying every Lincoln I can. They don't look anything
like in the commercial. They just look like they're going
to be I can tell this plastic is going to
rattle someday. I just lost get a chance of a
lincolnspon the McConaughey. But I'll tell you not they're watching

(05:02):
the Lincoln Lawyer. Yeah, I'm gonna go try again today.
I think I'm gonna go buy a Lincoln. But then
I gotta get somebody to drive you around so I
can be like him. And all I want to do
is talk about what tomorrow show would be from the
back seat of my card. I'll make my case.

Speaker 2 (05:15):
No.

Speaker 1 (05:15):
So twenty twenty was clearly the COVID mail in election.
This is the early voting. So the big question is
who's early voting. We've been kind of tracking Florida because
Florida gives us specific number, so I had read do
someo digging.

Speaker 2 (05:31):
Washington Post did a piece.

Speaker 1 (05:32):
Let me just interject this while I'm having it's almost
officially an add Tuesday.

Speaker 2 (05:36):
I don't know if you've noticed. I'm drifting in and
out of thought.

Speaker 1 (05:42):
The leaders of early voting Georgia fifty six percent, North
Carolina fifty one percent. You're gonna see and even in
the Washington Post, swing states and red states are predominantly
voting early blue states are not. It begs the question,
can we see instantly that the Republicans are like, not again,

(06:05):
You're not doing this to us again. You're not going
to win that way again. So they're responding more to
early voting or is there a more energy and enthusiasm
for their candidate and less for the other.

Speaker 2 (06:20):
The question is.

Speaker 1 (06:22):
Usually when Republicans begin election day, they're way behind and
playing ketchup and other Democrats are way behind, but they
don't have the big lead that they normally have, so
I read do some digging. Let's take wed do swing states.
In Arizona, one point two million mail in early votes

(06:43):
and so far forty three percent registered Republicans, thirty five
percenter registered Democrats, twenty two percent are independent.

Speaker 2 (06:51):
Now that's a pretty.

Speaker 1 (06:52):
Considerable lead for Republican register unless you presume there's a
lot of Republicans out there like Liz Cheney voting for
Kamala Harris in the swing state of Arizona. Perhaps things
are looking very good for Donald Trump. And we can't
do this till post mortem, but on independent votes, and

(07:13):
we're seeing in some cases where many of them are
breaking Donald Trump's way, they could tell the lopsided story
on election day. Let's go to another swing state, North Carolina,
and it's key for Donald Trump to win North Carolina,
and early voting thirty three percent of registered Democrats, thirty
four are registered Republicans, thirty three percent are independent. We

(07:35):
don't know what to make of that state unless we
know how independents are breaking early voting. In Georgia, forty
five percent are registered Democrats, forty nine percent are registered
Republicans only six percent independent. Georgia North Carolina for Donald

(08:00):
Trump's road and looking pretty good with the early voting numbers. Florida,
we've been tracking the most Donald Trump Republicans forty five
percent Democrats thirty four percent. Presumably Donald Trump would be
doing much better. They're twenty percent of independence. Misschigan a
swing at swing state early voting edge. Out of all
of them, this is the one that leans the most blue.

(08:24):
The early voters fifty two percent Democrat, thirty eight percent Republican,
ten percent independent. However, how many registered Democrats in Michigan.
I can think of every Muslim registered Democrat that I
don't think is voting blue. There's a lot of black

(08:45):
registered Democrat that isn't voting blue in Michigan. So you
can't even assume, even though this is the most early
voting for Democrats, that that's strong for Kamala Harris. And
then Wascons the other swing state, only a thirty five
percent Democrat advantage to twenty three percent. Now remember there's

(09:06):
forty two percent independent. You get to like Wisconsin and
Minnesota lot of independence, and you wonder how that's all flowing.
So who's voting, and where what could you possibly logically
draw from any of this as a journey of discovery.

(09:27):
For me, I'll just throw out a couple of big
picture themes. Donald Trump as a candidate hasn't been speaking
against mail in voting. He hasn't been speaking against early voting.
He's been encouraging his very enthusiastic voters to embrace it,

(09:48):
to meet the challenge and defeat it. But he hasn't
lost focus of election day either. In every rally, Donald
Trump asked who's already voted? And then he asks who's
going to vote? And there are believes or not at
every rally four to one that plan to vote and
have it yet. So I don't know that it's a

(10:09):
proper exeget to say, well, maybe Donald Trump's is going
to do good early and then not do good on
election day. I don't know about that. I think it
is reasonable to assume that their candidate and Republican voters
have figured out how the Democrats have set this game
up to be leading big before the polls even open

(10:30):
on election day, and they've addressed it this time, and
they will not be trailing when the polls open on
election day. That makes this very different from twenty twenty.
And even if you do what Washington posted and you
add early voting and mail in voting, as we've been

(10:51):
kind of breaking down, it's predominantly early voting over mail
in voting. Nothing's being it's only by mail this time,
and that makes it very different. And then we can
see that the blue states are not as early voting
as the red states. All the swing states are involved.

(11:14):
Does that suggest more enthusiasm for Republicans in their candidate
than Democrats and their candidate? These problems in the voting
blocks for the Democrats. Probably one of the biggest viral
audio yesterday was this Asian American and she went downtown
on Kamala Harris. I mean, I want to play it,

(11:36):
but I don't want to. You know, it is just
one person. But oh, she may be saying what everybody
wants to say about Kamala Harris. But problems with the
Asian voting block, problems with the Muslim voting block. I mean,
if Donald Trump pulled off what he claims he's pulled
off with Muslim voters in Michigan behind the scenes, I
don't know how she can win Michigan. And then the blackmail,

(12:00):
which Kamala tried to address yesterday. Yeah, she went there again.
As you remember, yesterday it was Kamala Harris doing Hillary
Clinton by way of Maya Angelo, trying to be Mlka
junior and sounded like weeping.

Speaker 2 (12:18):
Mayon door for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.
And then yesterday she was in an interview and she
went black again. So, I you know, part of what
we have to help people understand is don't think you're
on Donald Trump's club. You're not right. He's not gonna

(12:39):
be thinking about you. You think he's having you over
for dinner.

Speaker 1 (12:43):
Kind of a slight one with Shannon, just a slight one.
We are exactly seven days away and by polling, it
is a very close election that can go either way.
But there's clear moments him in Donald Trump's front and
here comes Kamala Harris's big moment. I don't know if

(13:05):
she can live up to the McDonald's stunt let alone,
the Joe Rogan interview that has reached over sixty million,
or what Donald Trump did.

Speaker 2 (13:14):
And we can't emphasize this not enough.

Speaker 1 (13:16):
He went into a very blue state, in a very
blue city and pulled off what looked like a convention,
not a rally. Today it's Kamala's turn from the ellipse
in the nation's capital. It's a great big opportunity. Does
it turn into a too big of a stage and

(13:38):
a great big flop? Or can she match Donald Trump
and begin to turn the momentum that is clearly on
Donald Trump's side with seven days to go. That's why
we live it, that's why we watch it, that's why
we talk about it. We want to understand it. One
chance to live today, one chance to understand it. Miss
a little, you'll miss a lot, miss a lot, and
we'll miss you.

Speaker 2 (13:56):
This is Your Morning Show with Michael Del Trona.

Speaker 3 (14:13):
Hi.

Speaker 2 (14:13):
It's Michael.

Speaker 1 (14:14):
Your Morning Show airs live five to eight am Central
six to nine Eastern in great cities like Memphis, Tennessee,
tell Usa, Oklahoma, Sacramento, California. We'd love to be a
part of your morning routine, but we're happierre here now.
Enjoy the podcast. Can't have a show called Your Morning
Show without your voice. You can do like the book
he did and just go to the iHeartRadio app and

(14:35):
click the talkback button. It'll count you down three to
two to one. You can ask a question, make a comment.
We'd love to hear from you, and share your voice
with everybody else at the kitchen table. Rick has become
one of my favorite listeners. He wrote, good morning, Michael.
I think a better indicator in early voting is what
percentage are men and what percentage are women. Trump substantially
leads among men and Harris among women. Well, that's what

(14:58):
makes it even more interesting. You can click on that,
and so in swing state after swing state where we
see more Republicans early voting than Democrats, you can click
on gender and you will see virtually in all of them. Georgia,
for example, is fifty six percent women forty four percent men,
and Republicans still outnumber Democrats, but by and large all

(15:21):
the swing states. Just to spare you, the long Laundry
List was about fifty five to forty four percent women
over men. And yet in early voting we see the
Republicans matching Democrats. They won't start with a big mail
in early voting lead this time, and that's significant, as
is where the polling numbers have everything. Nationwide, Trump up

(15:43):
less than a point, but he was down at this
point to Joe Biden's seven point four and to Hillary
four point six. So is it too close to call? Yes,
But the momentum and the break, if you will, appears
to be on the side Donald Trump. We'll talk more
about what breaks are at six oh five and thirty

(16:04):
minutes with David Sanati. Because polling is difficult, we can't
get to people, so we can't see the clear breaks
two days before an election. You got to feel him
now because you can't see him is going to be
my point, and chances are you will soon have tricker
treaters at your door. Aaron Rayl's gonna take a look
at a survey of the best selling Halloween candy this year.

(16:24):
What she ought to be looking at is is anybody
who knows how much Halloween candy is?

Speaker 3 (16:28):
Yeah, I have.

Speaker 2 (16:29):
It's gonna cost you.

Speaker 1 (16:30):
Somebody ought to do the Biden cost of Halloween, because
enough candy to give out to the neighborhood is easily
going to approach sixty seventy five dollars this year.

Speaker 2 (16:42):
Little bags are like sixteen dollars.

Speaker 1 (16:44):
Now, if you want to give away good stuff like
twigs and snickers, give me a heat or a butterfinger. Boy,
I miss the days of my kids being young, it
was like looting, setting them out. They come home with
all the candy, and then I just sit there and
watch a football game and Gorge, I got.

Speaker 2 (17:00):
In trouble at my church's trunk for treats because, by
the way, I hate that, well I call it. Don't
even get me started on that. Look, if you're gonna
if you're gonna be in this world but not of
this world, just avoid the whole thing. I mean, so
you're gonna go trick or treating around to your Christian trunks.
Come on, I used to make the kids trade me
their candy or my candy for their tutsi rolls. So

(17:22):
if they've got tutsi rolls, I'll give them something out
of my trunk. You were a tutsi roll guy? Oh yeah,
too much work? Oh yeah, I love that. Obviously you
had no feelings.

Speaker 1 (17:32):
Vice President Kamala Harris's big moment will take place or
big speech from the ellipse in the mall of the Capitol.

Speaker 2 (17:38):
She's gonna try to have an MLK moment or even
an Obama moment. Can she pull it off?

Speaker 1 (17:44):
Well, I presume it's a teleprompter because after all, CNN
and all of them are all saying it's best speech ever.
So she might be able to read a speech, they
might be able to stage twenty thousand people who were
expected to be there. Can this be the event that
could possibly turn the moment? I'm around with one week
to go. A new PW survey came out and while

(18:04):
this race is close, too close to call the majority,
and you'll be surprised at what percentage of the majority,
the majority of Americans believe we're going to have a
clear winner for president. The Amazon founder and Washington Post
owner Jeff Bezos has finally spoken out that he's defending.

Speaker 2 (18:21):
The newspaper's decision to stop.

Speaker 1 (18:22):
Endorsing presidential candidates, and the Los Angeles Dodgers are threatening
to sweep my Yankees. I'll be on suicide watch later
this week. This will be a tough one for me,
Thank goodness. I had the Lincoln lawyer this week to
comfort me. And the Steelers won twenty six eighteen last
night on Monday Night football. If you fell asleep, which
I did shortly after the first half, all right, you

(18:44):
all know that the media is biased. At what point
we go from biased to death of journalism to just
propaganda harm of the Democrat Party.

Speaker 2 (18:52):
Well you're there. In fact, here's the headline for you.

Speaker 1 (18:55):
A coverage of Trump, Harris and the presidential race most
lopsided in history, eighty five percent negative for Donald Trump.
Actually it starts off if you thought the media coverage
of Trump was biased. I would like to know is
there any American out there listing this morning that thinks

(19:18):
that media coverage of Donald Trump is biased for Donald Trump?
I mean, there was a great Oh, I don't think
I have it.

Speaker 2 (19:28):
Ready.

Speaker 1 (19:31):
The vek Ramaswamy just putting CNN in its place, shouldn't
even try this on the fly, but I just have to,
all right, So this is Vivek Ramaswami talking about the
Donald Trump rally. Keep in mind there was over three

(19:52):
and a half hours of content and it was unbelievable.
It was like it was like a convention more than
a one. But what did the media focus on yesterday?
One line by one comedian And so CNN thinks they're
going to hit the Vekroun Miswami with this.

Speaker 5 (20:06):
Listen the Trump campaign Press secretary Carolyn leave It on
Fox earlier saying the joke doesn't reflect the views of
President Trump or our campaign, specifically talking about the Puerto
Rico joke, but also she said the crowd, they didn't
mind you were there, did you mind?

Speaker 2 (20:23):
Look the fact of the matters. I was in the
room when that joke was made.

Speaker 6 (20:25):
But I got to say, we got to take a
step back and look at the double standards here, Brianna.

Speaker 2 (20:28):
Let's be really honest.

Speaker 6 (20:29):
George Lopez made a joke at Kamala Harris's rally over
the weekend about all Mexicans being thieves. Are we attributing
that comment to Kamala Harris or querying all of her
proxies who are at that rally.

Speaker 1 (20:42):
No, we're not.

Speaker 7 (20:42):
So.

Speaker 6 (20:42):
I think we need to all get off our high
horses and acknowledge that a bad joke was told. It
was bad because it wasn't very funny. The audience didn't
find it funny. The guys told other funny jokes in
other places, this wasn't one of them. But the media
manufacturing of outrage out of this is really just a
double standard when you look at the exact kind of
joke being told at the Kamala Harris rally over the weekend.

Speaker 2 (21:03):
Yeah, and Jesus kind of ah, but it's so true
and everybody knows it.

Speaker 1 (21:08):
When I was watching the rally live, we were cracking up,
I mean literal, laugh out loud laughter, because you'd be
watching Fox and it would say historic Donald Trump Rally
from Madison Square Garden. You flick over to CNN. They
don't let you hear the rally. You just see it
in the background with the headline Trump leans into racism

(21:30):
and hate as the person's giving, you know, a counter
debate to whatever's being said, but not letting you just
hear it for yourself or watch it for yourself.

Speaker 2 (21:47):
I mean, at some.

Speaker 1 (21:48):
Point, this is beyond depth of journalism. You want to
talk about threats to democracy, This is pure propaganda. Coverage
on ABC, CBS, NBC News of the press. Residential race
between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris
has been the most lopsided in history, according to a
new study released one week before the election. Analysis from

(22:10):
the Media Research Center published Monday found that Harris has
received seventy eight percent positive coverage on broadcast evening news
since July, Trump eighty five percent negative. I always say
media bias says this effect because it always dies of reality.

(22:35):
I don't care how much you love the New York Yankees,
and if someone like a New York and Yankee announcer
decided to only tell you when the Yankee scored but
didn't tell you when the Dodger scored.

Speaker 2 (22:44):
Oh it's a great broadcast and you're loving it, and
it's very biased. Problems.

Speaker 1 (22:48):
You're gonna wake up tomorrow morning and find out you
lost four to two, you didn't win two to nothing.
But it is really remarkable because two things have to happen.
You have to have somebody that's extraordinary that can break
through all this nonsense, like a Donald Trump, or you're
gonna need an American people that can see through it.

(23:10):
A journalism is dead from the standpoint. No one's watching,
no one's listening, no one's influenced by it anymore. It
has no credibility, and the viewers have are already gone.
The newspaper readers are already gone. They've already left and
gone to either social media or podcasts. You're dead and

(23:30):
you don't know it. It's pretty pathetic. But for those
that are still there, you're living in a false reality.
But oh, by the way, that's pretty extraordinary. You don't
just have to run for president and win hearts and
minds of voters. Prior to an election day, you got
to like a sam and swim upstream where your opponent

(23:51):
gets seventy eight percent positive coverage and you get eighty
five percent negative coverage. And then some sit like armchair
quarterbacks and say, oh, Donald Trump's obsessed with the media.
Donald Trump is rude to the media. The media is
his greatest opponent. And it's proven once again this election

(24:14):
cycle and the early indication as he's overcome it for
a second of three times.

Speaker 2 (24:19):
Pretty extraordinary, pretty revealing.

Speaker 3 (24:25):
This is your favorite president forty five soon to be
forty seven. And my morning show is your morning show
with a guy I like to call beacher Boy. It's
not delivery, it's still joinal.

Speaker 1 (24:38):
Vice President Kamala Harris as a major speech plen for
today at the nation's capital, just one week ahead of
election day. An estimated twenty thousand people are expected to
gather at the Ellipse near the White House to hear
what organizers are calling Harris's closing argument to voters just
so happens to be a page turning moment, the same
location where Donald Trump spoke on January sixth, twenty twenty one.

Speaker 2 (25:03):
Oh yes, that old chestnut again. Well.

Speaker 1 (25:07):
A new survey from Pew shows most voters, while it's
too close to call, expect a clear winner.

Speaker 2 (25:12):
Mark Mayfield has the story.

Speaker 7 (25:14):
A few surveyor points that a majority of Americans believe
will have a clear winner for president.

Speaker 2 (25:19):
It'd be good afterrust on the I have a big trust.
It's excellent, and I trust we.

Speaker 8 (25:25):
May have a recount, but I'll give you this, in
three weeks, I think we'll have the rightful elected people.

Speaker 7 (25:32):
Fifty eight percent of Trump supporters say they're confident that
it will be clear who won the presidential election after
all the votes are counted. That number is higher among
Harrow supporters at eighty five percent. Two ballot drop box
fires in the Northwest under investigation. Portland, Oregon police say
they responded to a call about a fire early yesterday morning.
What was called an incendiary device is reported to have
been placed inside the ballot box, jamaging three ballots. In Vancouver, Washington,

(25:57):
officers found a suspicious device that was burning next to
a drop That incident damaged hundreds of ballots and President
Biden has castle his ballot and this year's election. He
Trevel to his polling location in Wilmington, Delaware, Monday morning.
So far, some forty two million people across the country
have voted early. That's politics. I'm Mark Neathew.

Speaker 2 (26:14):
Wouldn't it be funny if you voted for Trump? Well.

Speaker 1 (26:17):
While many are forecasting polls, others are forecasting tropical depressions storms.

Speaker 2 (26:23):
Brian Shook has more.

Speaker 8 (26:24):
The National Hurricane Center in Miami says the system could
develop from a broad area of low pressure that's likely
to form over the Caribbean in a few days. It's
being given a forty percent chance of developing late this
week or this weekend. While the system poses no threat

Anything about heath and Amercause there's something about a heath bar.

Speaker 2 (28:28):
I'm often embarrassed.

Speaker 4 (28:29):
I go to one of our fancy frozen custry places
and I always get a vanilla with a double heath.

Speaker 2 (28:36):
Bar mix, And then they see heath bar is amazing.

Speaker 4 (30:09):
Chocolate.

Speaker 9 (30:10):
Let's be clear, chocolate across the board is what we like.
But if you go to the Southern States, that's where
you're going to see, not surprisingly, more of a prevalence
of Twizzler and Starburst and Mike and Ike and Jolly
Vancherit like the things that won't melt. But at the
same time, I let's talk about something really really controversial
here the.

Speaker 2 (30:30):
Price of it, because a little bag is sixteen dollars.

Speaker 1 (30:33):
But we won't even get into that. It's gonna cost
me one hundred dollars to give out candy this year.

Speaker 2 (30:37):
No, literally, it is.

Speaker 9 (30:38):
It's actually candy corn. Well, this is the controversial part.
Handy corn, decorative or edible.

Speaker 2 (30:45):
I go with decorative. Oh, edible, that's my favorite.

Speaker 1 (30:48):
Have you ever taken three peanuts and two candy corns
and put them in your mouth at the same time,
it's the payday bar.

Speaker 2 (30:54):
You can make your own payday bar. That's all it is. Yeah,
candy corn nuts.

collar and strips three bites per corn.

Speaker 8 (31:03):
Interesting.

Speaker 9 (31:04):
Oh okay, wow, this is interesting and listen, people love it.
This is why it's controversial. That's why we have to
talk about these things, all right.

Speaker 1 (31:11):
So we actually in thirty seconds we have differences by states,
believe it or not, The commonality is chocolate and what
we'll all experience is at high cost.

Speaker 9 (31:20):
