Speaker 1 (00:11):
The Chad Benson Show.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
On the scariest of scary days, Halloween.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
We are tiptoeing closer to the finish line that is
the election. Are you ready? Let's go, go, go, Go,
Go go go.
Speaker 4 (00:35):
I always got more publicity than other people.
Speaker 5 (00:38):
I know, Donald Trump's type.
Speaker 4 (00:40):
We had the greatest economy in history.
Speaker 5 (00:42):
Elections matter.
Speaker 6 (00:44):
Did your fat husband off the couch? Get that get
that fat pig off the couch?
Speaker 7 (00:50):
Do you think Donald Trump is a fascist?
Speaker 8 (00:52):
Yes?
Speaker 5 (00:52):
I do, Yes, I do.
Speaker 6 (00:53):
And he said that. I hell, did this happen to
my son? He's not a bad person. I'm a good person.
Speaker 9 (00:59):
Can imagine what can be and be unburdened by what
has been.
Speaker 10 (01:03):
You read.
Speaker 11 (01:13):
This Happy Halloween.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
Every day.
Speaker 11 (01:22):
We're getting closer.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
To the big day. Election Day. Man, I tell you
what so much stuff yesterday. But I'm going to say
this right now for those of you who are haters
of Donald Trump, totally understandable.
Speaker 11 (01:41):
I get it.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
No qualms with you. You can hate the player you want,
but you cannot hate the game. Rolling up in a
trash truck in Wisconsin was maybe the coolest thing I've
seen election wise in a long time. But it's just
like that the McDonald's things, Chad doesn't. No, no, it
(02:04):
resonates with people the humor side of it. The I mean,
the symbolism of the fact that there's a guy who,
by the way, puts the orange vest on in the airplay,
gets into the truck wearing the orange vest, does his
rally in the orange vest, does a mini press conference
(02:30):
in the orange vest, and inside of the garbage truck.
He is again the master troll. He brings something to
politics that is so much different than anybody else. That's
why when people say, you know, mag is a movement,
it can be. Don't get me wrong, it can be.
But this guy is the movement as much as Maggie is.
(02:52):
When's the last time you heard somebody say, this person's
bigger than that. You're bigger than the team, You're bigger
than this, You're bigger than this group over here that No, no, never,
you always hear nobody's bigger than the team, nobody's bigger
than that.
Speaker 11 (03:08):
When it comes to Trump, Oh yeah, yeah he is.
Speaker 6 (03:11):
And one of my people came in and said, sir,
you know, the word garbage is the hottest thing right
now out there, Sir, would you like to drive a
garbage truck.
Speaker 12 (03:21):
Now we're about, you know, thirty minutes from landing.
Speaker 4 (03:24):
We had to do this pretty quickly.
Speaker 6 (03:25):
I said, it's sort of cool, though, isn't it, because
you know and I said, you know, I think that's okay,
but you know, I don't feel comfortable wearing a suit.
Speaker 12 (03:32):
And then they said, sir, we have a vest.
Speaker 4 (03:35):
So I said, how the hell do you get into
this truck?
Speaker 6 (03:37):
It's way up high. It's a big one. They brought
this brand new, gorgeous truck. Wonderful driver. He looked like
Carrie granted his prime.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
You know that.
Speaker 6 (03:45):
And I said, man, this is bad because now I
have all the cameras that all what the stair the
first stair is like up here.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
I'm sick. So I had the adrenaline going and I
made it.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
Oh my god, brilliant. Just apps are freaking lutely brilliant.
And this is one of those situations where they did
it to themselves. I mean, the more I think about it,
the more I think, you know, he may just have
done this to piss her off. And I'm not talking
(04:18):
about Trump, I'm talking about Biden. He may have decided,
you know what, they all screwed me. Screw you, Barack,
screw you, Nancy, screw you, Kamala, screw you all.
Speaker 13 (04:28):
The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters.
Speaker 14 (04:31):
Oh my goodness, may now in fairness right, Like Kamala
pushed back on it.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
If she takes this moment, she can do something with it.
But that's a big if. I don't think she can.
I just don't think she has. I don't think she
has the skills or capability. And I'm not talking about
whether or not to. You know, you think she's dopid
because she's a woman, to call her because she's a woman. No,
some people are brilliant and moments like this in capitalizing
(05:04):
on them. Some people are absolutely spectacular in capitalizing on
moments like this, and other people they just don't have
it in them. Dad comments last night about garbage.
Speaker 8 (05:18):
Listen, I think that, first of all, he clarified his comments.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
But let me be.
Speaker 8 (05:23):
Clear, I strongly disagree with any criticism of people.
Speaker 5 (05:29):
Based on who they vote for.
Speaker 8 (05:31):
It's you've heard in my speech last night and continuously
throughout my career. I believe that the work that I
do is about representing all the people, whether they support
me or not, and as Susan then the United States,
I will be a president for all Americans, whether.
Speaker 5 (05:49):
You vote for me or not.
Speaker 9 (05:51):
That is my responsibility.
Speaker 8 (05:52):
And that's the kind of work that I've done my
entire career.
Speaker 15 (05:55):
And I take a very serious tension.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
And while she's doing that on the tarmac, Trump rolls
up in a trash truck decides I'm going to hold
press conference a little many press conference from here.
Speaker 16 (06:07):
I think that the comment paid by really both of them,
because they're really doable about being garbage. Maybe two hundred
and fifty million people. They shouldn't be talking. That's like deplorable.
This is the deplorable failary. And I think this is
worse actually for Joe Biden to make that statement.
Speaker 12 (06:25):
It's really a distress.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
Again, I say, hate the player, but not the game.
Just brilliant, a brilliant, brilliant, brilliant move that potentially is
a move that may put him up in over. And
we're going to talk about the ramifications when it comes
(06:48):
to women in this situation, because there is some, but
this was definitely a and he's right about that. Look,
we we can sit here, we can what about this,
and there's the reality is as they try to explain
it and watching the media do everything in there, then
(07:10):
I'm gonna go over here, and then I lift my
leg over here, and then over here I do this,
and this is there's a there's a hanging partsissiple with
a fleet, you know, they're trying to come up. And
then there's an amper Sam and that's where he meant
to say something, and you're just like, I don't even
know what are you talking about. No, he said what
he said, and we talked about it yesterday. Did he
mean it, didn't he mean it. At this point it
(07:33):
doesn't matter. The ment side of it is gone because
now it's become something, you know, playing soccer, and I
got to a decently high level for you know, coming
from America way back in the eighties.
Speaker 11 (07:51):
But I will tell you this. You always tell somebody.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
Who's a great player and a level above, it's like
you make a mistake, they punish you. They make a mistake,
you're not at that level. You don't punish them the
same way. This is one of those situations. The mistake
was made enough that the opportunity that you had with
(08:18):
your momentum after the Madison Square Garden said Reike slash
fourth Reich, Jemrie. All of that was gone, all the
momentum of the ellipse and the big speech. Nobody talked
about that yesterday. You made a mistake and they punished you.
(08:42):
That's what great athletes do, great business people do, and
like Trump or not, in this situation, a great marketer
and at times a politician. Three two three five three

And all the people.
Speaker 8 (10:39):
Dressed line.
Speaker 17 (10:57):
Loaded down one two on Will Smith. Here a cole
throws and a ground ball up side Hoopy.
Speaker 12 (11:05):

Speaker 3 (11:06):
The down on another break.
Speaker 14 (11:08):
For a leg.
Speaker 12 (11:10):
But now it's side Rizzo.
Speaker 18 (11:12):
Nobody at force include the.
Speaker 19 (11:15):
Bar one two in the center field and pay center
Tabo runs the score. The Dodgers take advantage of the
bad defense from New York.
Speaker 12 (11:27):
In the air left center field. Judge on the rue
dead scripting.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
Out of the track and it's apples hide that's in
the score.
Speaker 20 (11:35):
Thirty threeve in for the part, and.
Speaker 12 (11:37):
This game is gonna turned upside down.
Speaker 15 (11:41):
Not the back.
Speaker 21 (11:42):
Judge angles over his tags and heads for the play
through will go to third. The Dodgers a type the
game sacrifice fly from Gavid lucks and at six six
in the eighth click in the air of the deep
center field, Judge retreats.
Speaker 12 (11:59):
He'll make the but the Dodgers have come all.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
The way back.
Speaker 19 (12:03):
They're taking the lead. In Game five, the Dodgers a
strike away from a championship from a proper celebration.
Speaker 12 (12:19):
Saying to us, your Dodgers, we love.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
Tell yours.
Speaker 11 (12:33):
I loved it.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
My uncle wrote me last night, well really early in
the morning, like one says your dad. My dad, his brother,
my grandmother are smiling in heaven looking down. I said, absolutely,
that wouldn't be a win in a big city like
Los Angeles without you know, some stuff that happens crime.
Speaker 22 (13:00):
This all started with a large group that was chased
down Broadway by a number of LAPD units, including the
mounted unit, who chase them up Broadway into other neighboring streets.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
Why why because you see in Los Angeles, much like Detroit,
what happens is they start running ads a few days
before their team may win a championship. And the reason
because people decide we're going to party and now with
(13:32):
nothing being a crime, we're gonna do other things.
Speaker 22 (13:35):
There have been a number of getaway vehicles waiting for
the merchandise to walk out. They stuffed the trunks, they
get in the car, and they drive away. We've seen
several cars do that. LAPD is aware of this.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
By the way, I'm gonna tell you guys this. The
merchandise itself doesn't walk out. Somebody walks out with the merchandise.
Why are these people doing this?
Speaker 22 (13:54):
It started as a big party and then things started
getting really rowdy. They were tagging metro buss, saw somebody
dancing on a bus and things got really really crazy.
They declared an unlawful assembly and then started dispersing the crowd,
and that's when these thieves started to take advantage basically
of some of these unattended stores here.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
And I have never party, never been a party, but
I've been to parties. And at no time did I
go to a celebration and look at my friends and go,
you know, it'd be great right now, Why don't we
rob something? What you're the sober one? My goodness me
Dallers Champions of the World and man that collapsed by
(14:39):
the Yankees was hoh hilarious, All yanky fans, how sad
you must be so. Kamala did not go on with Rogan.
And I saw an article yesterday that Rogan chickened out,
actually didn't chicken out. He wanted to have a conversation
and it for to be a conversation and there to
(15:02):
be no time limits on the conversation.
Speaker 11 (15:03):
And here's what he said.
Speaker 23 (15:05):
You guys are coming here. I'm like, I love these
guys so much. Too bad, it's just there's nothing going on.
Speaker 24 (15:10):
Well, I heard you you might have needed to counsel
on us to get Kamala Harrison.
Speaker 25 (15:14):
I was not going to do that. I would have
had to.
Speaker 23 (15:18):
I knew you guys flew from England, and I wasn't
going to cancel on you because she had an opportunity
to come. Someone's you could look at this and say, oh,
you beat a diva. But she had an opportunity to
come here when she was in Texas, and I literally
gave them an open invitation.
Speaker 25 (15:32):
I said any time.
Speaker 23 (15:33):
I said, if she's done at ten o'clock, we'll come
back here at ten o'clock.
Speaker 25 (15:37):
I go, I'll do it at nine in the morning.
I'll do at ten pm. I'll do it at midnight.
She's up. She wants to you know, drig A red
Bull already on.
Speaker 11 (15:45):
Yeah, he was willing to do it whenever.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
But you should have gone to her and they could
have been controlled, because that's the big thing they always
want control. Remember Trump was supposed to be there for
an hour, two stayed for three.
Speaker 4 (15:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 24 (15:57):
But I think this idea that you're being a diva
is silly because you're asking her, you're offering her the
opportunity to do exactly what the other candidate did.
Speaker 26 (16:04):
Right.
Speaker 23 (16:05):
Well, she actually reached out when she found out that
he was coming on. So their camp reached out to me.
So I said, great, I would love to talk to her.
But it was very difficult to tie it down, and
a lot of they wanted to travel, and see. The
thing is like, you can't. If I go somewhere, then
there's going to be other people in the room, and
(16:25):
they want to control a lot of things. I'm sure
according to the Brett Bryer interview on Fox like people
were waving them off. That's a distraction people in the room. Like,
my whole goal with her and with him was just talk.
Just have a conversation like a human being. You find
out things about people, you get a sense of them,
at least a real sense.
Speaker 25 (16:45):
That's it. I don't give fuck what we talk about.
I really don't. I just I just want to talk
to you.
Speaker 3 (16:52):
I thought it was a mistake for her not to
go on there, because she should have done it weeks ago,
and I think he would have brought out a much
less robotic individual that seems to always be canned, and
she had a chance to talk to men. But both
(17:14):
of them are punted on talking to the other sexes,
if you know what I mean. Three two, three, five,
three eight, twenty four twenty three at Chad Benson Show,
is your Twitter? By the way, jd vncon four hours yesterday.
A lot of stuff to get to Don't go Anywhere,
Happy Halloween. Chad Benson, Joe.
Speaker 27 (17:36):
Son, Chad Benson, Joe The Chad Benson Show.
Speaker 12 (17:59):
Normally I do.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
This Scary Movie countdown, and we do it at the
end of the hour. But you see, my love of
horror movies brings us to the top spot today in
the top spot. There's so much cultural relevance with it,
not just during Halloween time, but and many other times
(18:22):
of the year. This movie captured America's imagination, captured the
box office, won awards, change people's lives.
Speaker 11 (18:33):
This movie is terrifying.
Speaker 3 (18:36):
This movie is an incredible movie based not just in horror,
but so many other things. And oh, by the way,
maybe the most terrifying thing of this movie is it's
actually based on true events. What so it's going to
take a little longer to get through than normal. So
(18:56):
bear with us. Our Scary Movie Countdown comes to an
end today this year, on Halloween. Let's revisit what we've
been through to get to this point.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
We've counted down the thirteen most terrified movies of all time.
And if you've forgotten what they are, let me refresh
your memory.
Speaker 5 (19:21):
I am Dracula, Come with me and look at the web.
Speaker 12 (19:26):
The web.
Speaker 9 (19:27):
I have terrible fear of spiders.
Speaker 7 (19:30):
It's like a crazy nine day festival. It only happens
every ninety years.
Speaker 16 (19:35):
You guys, never heard of the White Pine Slaughter, the
White Pine Slaughter.
Speaker 28 (19:42):
The kids of Elm Street. I don't know it yet,
but something is coming.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
Have you ever heard anything like this before.
Speaker 29 (19:50):
I've never done.
Speaker 5 (19:51):
This overserve myself.
Speaker 7 (19:53):
My girlfriend Katie. She thinks there's something in the house.
Speaker 30 (19:55):
It is as if God created the devil and gave
him shows.
Speaker 4 (20:02):
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
Speaker 31 (20:05):
I spent page years trying to reach him, and then
another seven trying to keep him locked up because I
realized that what was living behind that boy's eyes was
purely and simply.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
Even now, it's time to find out what masterpiece of
horror cinema to the top spot number one.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
Oh, you hear the music. You know exactly what I'm
talking about.
Speaker 11 (20:33):
No movie has.
Speaker 3 (20:34):
Done more, I think, horror movie wise, than this movie.
You know, I mean we count down, I mean, we've
got Universal Monsters, Arachnophobia, We've got all these great movies
on here. But this movie, Oh, this movie was something different.
This movie captured America's attention. The book was a major bestseller.
(20:59):
It well, I was incredible, and as a young child,
I got sucked into it. How you ask good question?
My parents young not great parenting, went to drive in.
Explain that to your kids. So we go to the
(21:22):
drive in, and I'm little, and it's the movie's already
been out for a year or two, right, So the
movie's been out for a while.
Speaker 11 (21:29):
But it's a double feature.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
Right, So for those of you guys who don't remember driving,
you go and you'd pay, you go in with your car,
and it would be the first movie, and then it
would be the big movie and then the double feature
if you want to stick around and watch the other
one or whatever. So we we went, and I forgot
whatever the movie is that we were seeing.
Speaker 25 (21:46):
Again.
Speaker 11 (21:47):
It had been in out for a while.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
I was probably five years old, and I wasn't meant
to see this movie.
Speaker 11 (21:54):
The actor says, no, no, no, no.
Speaker 3 (21:56):
But we were in a situation where we had a
station and I could look through the back and I
could see what was going on in the theater on the.
Speaker 14 (22:04):
Other side, and I was fascinated by it.
Speaker 3 (22:06):
And then they thought I was asleep in the back
and through my little blankye I watched the movie, could
hear all the stuff? And man was it incredible. The
movie itself starred a bunch of great actors, but none
of them were real stars at all. Jason Miller not
really a star, more of a theater guy. Linda Blair,
(22:30):
the youngster who became the star, played Reagan.
Speaker 25 (22:34):
She wasn't a star.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
In fact, took William Freakin, the director a long time,
five hundred kids.
Speaker 11 (22:39):
He interviewed Ellen Burston kind of.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
A star, but not a star star star powered name
and of course the extra systemself father Karris max Fenseida
interesting note, plays a seventy year old in the movie.
He's forty four when he actually films the movie. They
have to put so much makeup on him to make
him look like he's seven years old. The scenes of
(23:02):
obviously the big battle between good and evil. Oh and
of course who could forget nobody this the power Christ.
Speaker 20 (23:14):
The power Christ compels you. The power Christ compels you.
To the power of Christ compels you. The power of
Christ compels you.
Speaker 3 (23:26):
Great part of the movie in the battle at the end,
Like I said before, uh, Reagan was played by Linda
Blair five hundred people. They interviewed young kids, varied ages,
boys and girls, and they finally got to her and
said she was an amazing, incredible young actress. She had
done some stuff in New York, but freaking said, I
want her. She had some questions, first and foremost, I
(23:48):
don't even know what religion is when.
Speaker 32 (23:49):
My mother and I first read the book. I think
the most important thing to remember is children don't know
a lot of things about religion. So for me, I
ask questions like everybody else asked, how does she jump
up and down on the bed and how does the
special effects work? Each time we came to a different
part of the demonic possession, it got harder and harder.
(24:10):
It wasn't so bad prior to the heavy makeup, but
each time the demon did something, it was difficult.
Speaker 11 (24:18):
Difficult.
Speaker 3 (24:18):
Indeed, the thrashing about bit that everybody sees in the
movie with her and loves and again, she's like thirteen
years old when this happens. She's got a harness on
and you know they've cinched up really good, and you know,
she says, there's a giant guy in the other you know,
behind the wall, yanking me back and forth.
Speaker 11 (24:36):
It gives me that up and down sitting motion.
Speaker 3 (24:39):
The harness itself comes apart and loose, and when you
hear her screaming and stuff, that is actual pain. I
thought she was a great actress. She was an actual pain.
She was a great actress, but the pain because her
back broke. But then they said to her, we're gonna
have to shoot it again. After all of that stuff.
Now she's in pain. She's like thirteen years old. And
she said to herself, they said, you can do it
(25:01):
today or you can do it tomorrow. And she said,
if I would have said tomorrow, I might never have
done it again. So I went and did it that day.
One of the other things that happened, though, is Linda
Blair did a movie that had a lot of adult themes,
but it also had terrifying parts. There were crazies out there,
wackadoo's out there, and Linda found out firsthand how crazy
(25:22):
people could be, and Warner Brothers is like, we better
figure this out.
Speaker 32 (25:27):
When The Exorcist came out, it was a lot of
people that it unnerved, and I think they felt some
kind of connection to me, So out of respect, Warner
Brothers was kind enough to make sure that I had
constant protection. I'm appreciative that they were responsible to make
sure that my safety was in order. It's just one
(25:48):
of those things. This kind of film is going to
bring out some different personalities from people, and they want
to read something different into the project.
Speaker 5 (25:56):
It was hard, but it's okay.
Speaker 3 (25:58):
She also lost a lot of her young friends because
her parents, who had seen the movie they allowed some
of the parents of her friends to see kind of
an early cint of the movie, didn't want their kids
to play with her anymore, which was sad. On the
other side of it, well, you see her do all
those things.
Speaker 11 (26:16):
You needed a voice.
Speaker 3 (26:18):
So they went to this actress by the name of
Mercedes Cambridge, who would smoke and drank her whole life,
and they said, we would like you to do this.
It was very interesting what some of her demands were.
Speaker 33 (26:31):
She said, I should swallow raw eggs, I should smoke
cigarettes constantly, and you got to get me some booze,
which is going to make me nuts. And I'm getting
off the wagon to do this, so I want my
priest around to counsel me.
Speaker 3 (26:52):
And that's what they did. Some of the other stuff
they did with Mercedes and you could hear it in
her voice. They did an interview her later on in
her life. Is they wanted her to go through what
Reagan went through at the same time.
Speaker 34 (27:03):
I don't think they had to do this, but they did.
They tore up a sheet and put me in restraint
was around my neck and my arms behind the chair,
and my knees and my feet, so that I would
feel like Linda Blair, whom I've never met, well she
(27:24):
was carrying on in the bed, that I would be doing.
Speaker 5 (27:28):
The same thing physically.
Speaker 3 (27:30):
Yeah, crazy, crazy, crazy indeed. Now here's the other thing
you heard about the curses, all of the other stuff
that happened on there. And there was a lot of
weird things that happened. William Freakin talked about some of
the weird stuff. Of course, the director of this amazing movie.
Speaker 35 (27:45):
We built this set was the exterior was in Georgetown,
the interior was on a sound stage in New York.
And the set costs about five hundred thousand dollars to build.
And one morning, at four o'clock in the morning, I
got a phone call from the production manager who said,
you're not going to leave this, but the whole set
has burned.
Speaker 7 (28:01):
To the ground.
Speaker 35 (28:03):
And what had happened was sometime during the morning hours,
this set mysteriously burned to the ground. They never figured
out what happened. We had to rebuild a set. We
had to shut the picture down for three months and
rebuild the entire set. It became very strange, very strange.
A lot of things had happened in connection with the
(28:24):
film that were as inexplicable as the events depicted in
the film. We had a priest who came on the
set periodically and would exercise the set, and things would
go well for a while, for a month or so,
and then there would be something extraordinarily weird happened again.
Speaker 3 (28:42):
Now the movie finally opened up. Warner Brothers didn't have
a lot of high hopes for it. Well, the book
was the bestseller. The reality is it was a horror movie.
They were opening it up the day after Christmas. They
didn't think anything was going to come of it. Man,
were they wrong.
Speaker 15 (28:57):
On December twenty sixth, nineteen seventy three, in twenty four
selected engagements in the United States, William Peter Blatti's The Exorcist,
directed by William Freakin, opened from the novel that had
long been on the bestseller lists, and directed by the
man who had brought the French connection to the screen.
Speaker 7 (29:15):
The Exorcist had long.
Speaker 15 (29:17):
Been awaited, widely speculated upon, and anxiously anticipated, but no one,
no matter how close are deeply involved in the film,
could possibly have anticipated what was to happen. At every
theater where this film played.
Speaker 12 (29:32):
Didn't make good time.
Speaker 10 (29:33):
We've seen it.
Speaker 5 (29:34):
It's terrific.
Speaker 36 (29:35):
Because pretty I can't possibly go I love it, ran
you like it?
Speaker 12 (29:41):
Well, we have one hundred miles, so I hope so fantastic.
Speaker 3 (29:45):
It's really gross.
Speaker 7 (29:47):
It's really terrific.
Speaker 12 (29:48):
Again, I want to see this gonna make me throw
a walk.
Speaker 26 (29:50):
Never in my life known a movie where people would faint.
I mean it's hard to make people think.
Speaker 3 (29:55):
Oh, it did so much, went on to win some
Academy Awards, some BAFTAs, Golden Globes, made some people superstars,
and the cultural relevance of this movie still exists to
this day. The battle of good and evil we can
go on and on, but as a horror movie, it
(30:17):
is terrifying. And the big reason is because it's based
on a true story, not the movie in the book itself,
but the events that inspired Gladdie to write the book
about a young boy who passed away in twenty twenty.
Ronald Hunkler was his name. He went by Ronald Doe,
who in nineteen forty nine went through several weeks of
(30:39):
an exorcism that included two different states and was terrifying,
if not more terrifying than the actual movie itself when
you read into it. In twenty twenty, after he had
a stroke, pre showed up at a hospital to give
him his final rights. His family had no idea what
was going on, how they even knew, but they had
followed him his entire life because of what took place
(31:03):
back in that day. He didn't remember much of what
took place during the exorcism, but he did go on
to lead a pretty productive life. One of the reasons
we get to go to space, or at least come
back from it, is because he helped build the heat
shields for NASA. Interesting point right there. There is no
movie that I think did more in the horror world
(31:24):
than this. It is truly terrifying. It is the number
one movie on the Chad Benson Show Countdown. Oh Yes, Kids.

Speaker 1 (33:15):
Running with Scissors sounds great compared.
Speaker 3 (33:17):
To this, seems weird.
Speaker 14 (33:22):
The name.
Speaker 1 (33:24):
It's always the song.
Speaker 5 (33:40):
Someone Dream.
Speaker 3 (33:46):
That is actually the demo for Thriller. Thriller was not
called Thriller. Little So Learning Today. Huh you're thinking that
sounded what is that?
Speaker 37 (33:54):
Is that?
Speaker 3 (33:54):
AI? That is not AI Kids. That is actually Michael
Jackson's demo of Thriller. It was originally called Starlight, and
then they went with thriller Little Things You Learned. I
do that for you, guys, because I care. I want
you to know that. Are they ever going to get out?
Speaking of monsters? The Menendez brothers.
Speaker 38 (34:10):
Days after announcing that he's asking a court to re
sentence the brothers Los Angeles DA, George Gascone is requesting
clemency from Governor Gavin Newsom. The brothers have served thirty
four years in prison for the shotgun murders of their
parents in their Beverly Hills home in nineteen eighty nine.
Advocates argue new evidence of the alleged abuse the brothers
suffered at the hands of their father justifies a review
(34:32):
of the case. By law, the governor is not allowed
to decide on clemency for ten days.
Speaker 11 (34:36):
Okay, so are they going to get out?
Speaker 38 (34:39):
Gascone's recent move to re sentence the brothers has hit
a snag, the judge not scheduling a hearing until December eleventh.
Gascone could be out of office by then, and his
replacement could withdraw the request. The brothers will have a
shot at freedom sooner than that, when they appear for
a different hearing next month where new evidence in the
case could be presented.
Speaker 3 (34:58):
And what is that new epp evid as you say, Well,
it has to do with Manudo now, not the food
the band.
Speaker 39 (35:05):
That new evidence includes allegations by a former member of
the boy band Menudo, who says the brother's father, Jose
raped him in the nineteen eighties. In addition, a newly
discovered letter Eric wrote to his cousin described his father's
alleged abuse months before the murderers.
Speaker 3 (35:20):
We will see if they get out those monsters. They
did it, there's no doubt they did it. But were
they pushed to it. It's the issue around this entire case, though,
is the fact that yes, they did what they did,
and they may have been abused in all of those
things played a huge part in it. On the other
side of it, they went and spent money, They did
a lot of different things. They'd planned some of this
stuff out. This wasn't you were defending yourself kind of thing.
(35:44):
We'll see. I have a feeling they're going to get
out coming up in the second hour, more of Trump
the garbage man.
Speaker 16 (35:49):
I think that the comment paid by really both of them,
because they're really do of them about being garbage maybe
two hundred and fifty million people. They shouldn't be talking.
That's like the horrible this is the deplorable vailary. And
I think this is worse. Actually for Joe Biden to
make that statement, I think it's really discrased.
Speaker 3 (36:07):
That is Trump during this press conference yesterday from a
garbage truck.
Speaker 11 (36:11):
Brilliance.
Speaker 3 (36:12):
Yes, indeed, if you missed any show we had, the
podcast Chat Benson Show.
Speaker 1 (36:16):
This is the Chad Benson Show, The Chad Benson Show.
Speaker 3 (36:45):
Hand be freaking Halloween.
Speaker 11 (36:47):
Five days away until election day. Scary good times are here.
Speaker 12 (36:56):
Let's go, go, go.
Speaker 3 (36:57):
Go go go.
Speaker 4 (37:01):
I always got more publicity than other people.
Speaker 5 (37:04):
I know Donald Trump's type.
Speaker 4 (37:05):
We had the greatest economy in history.
Speaker 5 (37:08):
Elections matter.
Speaker 6 (37:09):
Did you fat husband off the couch? Get that get
that fat pig off the couch.
Speaker 7 (37:15):
Do you think Donald Trump is a fascist?
Speaker 25 (37:17):
Yes?
Speaker 5 (37:17):
I do, Yes, I do.
Speaker 6 (37:19):
And they say that, I hell, did this happen to
my son? He's not a bad person. I'm a good person.
Speaker 9 (37:25):
I can imagine what can be and be unburdened by
what has been.
Speaker 10 (37:28):
You read.
Speaker 3 (37:40):
All right, it's election time on this Halloween. We're five
days away from it's the big election, I said at last,
Darro'll say it again.
Speaker 11 (37:49):
You can hate the player all you want, but it's
the game.
Speaker 3 (37:53):
He does it in such a way. I've said this
about Trumpy. I get frustrat I think a lot of
his ideas are really good. I think he thinks outside
the box. I think he comes at politics in a
way that we've never had anybody come at politics. And yeah,
some of his ideas are insane. Some of them are ridiculous.
Some of the talk and the way that he goes
and panders to the crowd because he's looking for a
(38:15):
laugh is absolutely just asinine and stupid. And he can
be as divisive as anybody. But one thing he does
is capitalize when the opportunities in front. So Sunday, Tony
Hinchcliff at Trump's Nazi Wally Madison square Garden says something
(38:37):
hours before Trump ever gets on stage and for seventy
two hours dealing with trying to put out fires, ignoring
it being called nazis hateful them, you know, losing their mind, and.
Speaker 11 (38:51):
The mainstream established media like this is it.
Speaker 3 (38:54):
This guy essentially basically might as well have said kill
all the Jews. It's a joke, of course, because it
was about Puerto Rico and garbage. Then you're thinking to yourself,
if you're Kamala, the momentum was there. But now it's
my turn. I've made this about Trump being evil. I've
made this about all of the things because the stuff
(39:15):
we were trying wasn't really working. The joy only had
so much as far as its legs went, and then
it so we did something else. We pivoted, And now
I'm going to hold the biggest speech of my life
on the Islands, White House, Washington Monument, beautiful night. This
is going to be the night of nights. I'm going
(39:36):
to deliver the speech of my life, therefore solidifying myself
as the only choice in this election. And then the
old guy goes and does it, and now nobody talked
about your big speech.
Speaker 11 (39:54):
You're having to put out fire after fire.
Speaker 3 (39:57):
And what people who are great at things like marketing, trolling,
whatever you want to call it, do is capitalize it
in such a way that you sit there and go, how,
how how did he do this? It's it's amazing. Look,
do I know if he's gonna win? No, But do
(40:18):
I think this could be one of those moments that changed.
Speaker 11 (40:22):
There are two moments in this one.
Speaker 3 (40:24):
The first one was her telling the view and that
she would do nothing different than Biden. That absolutely was
the I think the beginning of the stall in the
engines of her campaign.
Speaker 11 (40:41):
And then kind of thing.
Speaker 3 (40:45):
And then something she didn't say, she's trying to figure
out how to clean it up.
Speaker 40 (40:51):
What did you think when you heard President Biden make
those comments? Well, first of all, I think that the
President has explained what he meant. But I've said it
earlier that song way disagree with any criticism of the
people may song, you may vote for it.
Speaker 3 (41:08):
Now if she was smart, let me tell you what
she would do. Pivot the hell away from him, like
there's nobody's business. Now is the time to separate yourself
in a way that you refuse to do before. You
had opportunity after opportunity, not even to throw him under
the bus, but to separate yourself in such a way
(41:32):
as to say, when you're turning the page, it's not
the page. It looks really similar to the page before,
but something completely different. You have that opportunity, and are
you taking it?
Speaker 11 (41:46):
I don't think so. Is this one of those moments
Frank Luntz.
Speaker 12 (41:50):
In twenty twenty four.
Speaker 41 (41:51):
I can promise you that this is going to drive
Trump turnout.
Speaker 12 (41:55):
He's doing it already, I can see.
Speaker 7 (41:57):
I'm sure there's going.
Speaker 41 (41:58):
To be adds on as soon as about this. This
may be a turning point for those final three percent.
And that's all it is who still need to be persuaded.
Speaker 3 (42:10):
Let me tell you who those Republicans are, because now
they've all started just to ignore anybody quote unquote on
the other side, any of those undersides males females. But
there is a twist here.
Speaker 29 (42:27):
They are banking on the idea that female voters do
not like Donald Trump on a personal level. And so
the argument is it's really interesting because what they're doing
here also is sort of conceding the male vote. They're
not going after the male vote in these ads, that
is Donald Trump's vote, almost.
Speaker 42 (42:45):
Kind of like demonizing the men in these would seem
to be otherwise stable and loving relationships.
Speaker 26 (42:51):
Right.
Speaker 42 (42:52):
It's an interesting play of like almost trying to divide
a wedge between a woman and her husband.
Speaker 29 (42:57):
Yeah, and it's notable because again, Donald Trump is performing
pretty well with males, and when you look at his rallies.
That is the base that he is catering to right now.
He's trying to get out the male vote. Kamala Harris
in these ads is basically saying, Okay, that's not our
base anymore. Our base is female voters, and they're banking
on the idea that female voters on a personal level
(43:18):
don't like Donald Trump's rhetoric.
Speaker 3 (43:20):
Absolutely true, they don't like his rhetoric at all.
Speaker 11 (43:26):
They don't. Both sides.
Speaker 3 (43:29):
Said to themselves, all right, we're just going to focus
where we need to, Where can we win and with
who we can win with these people, then that's that's
what we're gonna have to do.
Speaker 11 (43:41):
So we've got x amount.
Speaker 3 (43:43):
Of people that we need to get that are in
our base that are willing to vote for us. Anything
else it is a bonus. But we know we can
only control this. The garbage stuff with Trump and what
Tony Hinchcliff said the other day, it didn't hit the
(44:06):
same as what Biden said, And partially because Biden and
everybody else runs around and we talk about this, you
expect Trump to say crazy stuff, right, So that's that
there is what it is, and so much of it's
the shock value and all this kind of whatever. But
the Democrats want to hold themselves up to a standard
(44:29):
that is way up here, like we're superior, we're morally
better than you, and we hate you guys, but it's
only because we know we're better than you and you're
stupid and you don't understand that's the way, And all
of a sudden you go and do something like this,
and it's a shock, and it hits much different than
(44:52):
what you expect because everybody expects. You know, you're being
told every day, Donald Trump's and nazzy, Donald Trump's nazy,
Donald Trump's nazzy. Let me tell you why this is different.
There are a lot of Nicki Haley voters out there
that still voted for her even when she was out
(45:13):
of the race. And I agree with Dana Bash who said,
I think the biggest thing mistake wise that he has made,
and maybe the only you know, we consider and debate
the language is that and the other everybody you're gonna
have your own opinion about that. But as far as
a pure political move that he has made is he
(45:34):
didn't bring Nicki Haley in to soften it up a
little bit. Now he doesn't have to those women who
are married and Republicans and can't stand Trump heard that
in a much different way and think to themselves. So
(45:59):
they really do feel that way about us. I mean,
Trump is and he's awful, and I'm not a big
fan of him, but you know what, screw you guys,
Screw you guys. Now, is this going to be that
moment that changes everything? We're going to find out? There's
(46:20):
still a lot of time, in a short period of time,
if you will, for things to go potentially sideways, another
twist in the tail. But there is no doubt the
energy level on Trump's side is much greater than what's going.
Speaker 11 (46:39):
On with Kamala.
Speaker 3 (46:42):
And I think Kamala realizes, right, this is the base
that I have. Trump is like, this is my base,
But I still think I can get a few more.
Is it possible? And I'm not going to say that
come Tuesday night we're going to know because I don't.
I don't think we're going to know. I don't think
we may know until we could be hear a week
from now.
Speaker 11 (47:00):
Going No, not sure.
Speaker 3 (47:01):
And there's gonna be challenges and already the conspiracy theories
and we'll get to some of those in a little bit,
but I think right now the energy level is absolutely
on his side. Do I see a scenario where he loses.
Of course, I see a scenario where both of them lose.
I see a scenario where this thing is fought out
for a month, and I could see a scenario where
(47:22):
come Monday night, we have a real sense of who's
gonna win this thing, and by Tuesday we'll know for sure.
I could see a scenario where she runs all seven
swing states, and I can see a scenario where he
runs all seven. I mean, there's all of those things
(47:42):
that are in play. But if you were to look
at me today again, who would I vote for? As
far as putting my money down bet on kind of
thing to win it?
Speaker 11 (47:50):
And I got to bet everything. It's Trump at this moment,
and she's got.
Speaker 3 (47:59):
A few days to try to figure out how to
save this as far as the momentum and get it
back and get people energized. Because the energy she had
on Tuesday night and the chance to make that final
big push in the biggest moment of her life in
(48:23):
front of seventy plus thousand people, that moment was taken
away from her by an old guy who I'm not
quite sure lost it, misspoke or can't stand her and said,
(48:43):
I'll show you stab me in the back.
Speaker 11 (48:45):
You will, huh usobs.
Speaker 3 (48:47):

Speaker 3 (50:56):
Everything.
Speaker 19 (50:56):
It's coos back from Love of the Pad and My
Mom is the hit of the last you a living.
Speaker 3 (51:04):
The smash was meant to and you get to my doll.
Tell him Baldus session. He did the mom stomash. Bobby Boris,
pick it right there. That was a hit. Nobody wanted
to He was a comedian and a musician, and nobody
wanted to release it.
Speaker 11 (51:23):
Finally somebody said, I'll release it.
Speaker 3 (51:24):
It was a hit number one for two weeks, passed
away several years ago. Makes a million dollars a year.
Think about it. It makes a million bucks a year still,
So I would I'd tell producer Phil and I man,
which need one, and it's got to be around holidays
because it works way better when it's around the holidays,
because you can continue every year to have that, you know,
(51:46):
that hit. It's not something that's gonna come around in
fifteen or twenty years. Every year there's a Halloween, every
year there's a Christmas. But it's got to be like
one of those two. Like you're not doing something for
like Flag Day. I don't think that's a real day
it is. Speaking of Halloween, I don't know if you
guys knew this. It's been more than eighty five years
(52:08):
since kids in Des Moines have been able to trick
or treat on Halloween.
Speaker 12 (52:11):
What yep.
Speaker 3 (52:13):
Unlike most major cities around this country, they have a
law now trick or treating happens. It just happens on
the thirtieth because they have a thing called Beggar's Night
that's the day before, and in the thirties they turned
it actually into policy.
Speaker 11 (52:33):
But yesterday, nasty weather.
Speaker 3 (52:37):
And I do mean nasty weather, thunderstorms, I mean all
the stuff that you would think Halloween, which should be
based around, forced them to change up the day and
allow them to trick or treat today, the assistant city
manager said, to her knowledge, it's never been moved or
(52:58):
canceled since it was established after Halloween in nineteen thirty eight.
But tonight they're gonna do it. Three two, three, five,
three eight, twenty four to twenty three at Chadvnson Show,
it's your Twitter, got some of your tweets, some of
your texts coming up as this race become gabbage so
(53:19):
funny watching people lose their mind.
Speaker 11 (53:22):
You don't have to like Trump. I don't care if
you do or don't.
Speaker 3 (53:26):
I'm just saying the move of showing up in a
garbage truck, the move that he has done to pivot
away and turn a negative situation into a positive situation
is a stroke of genius. And if you can recognize
that again, you don't have to like him to understand, Yeah,
he took something and he's he's and he's running with
(53:49):
it and it's working for him. If you've be sending
the show, shame on you. I might send a monster
after you. It's a Chad Benson.
Speaker 37 (53:58):
Show, son, Chad Benson shoe.
Speaker 1 (54:30):
The Chad Benson Show.
Speaker 3 (54:32):
Five days away from the big election day. I don't
know what it's going to look like on election Day.
I couldn't tell you. Frank Lunce last night on News
Nation at the Big town Hall is really really interesting
if you have a chance to go back and watch.
It had a ton of people on there, Uh, Stephen
A Smith, Bill O'Reilly, Sarah Palin. You had Frank Lunzho's
(54:54):
one of the great polsters and political guys of our generation.
You also had Mark Cuban and Dana White on there
debating Trump and Harris and in it was at real
town hall, people asking questions. It was just it was
entertaining to watch. But he said something last night that
just it's so true and look, we're super divided, and
(55:17):
I'm here to tell you that next week.
Speaker 11 (55:20):
Ain't going to change a thing.
Speaker 3 (55:21):
It isn't the only way. I don't even know if
a blowout changes anything, cause I can tell you now
most the fervent Trump people are going to say it
was stolen. And it's hard not to live in a
(55:41):
world of conspiracy when they show you signs I tweeted
out something last night. You want to restore faith in
the system, then don't do what a local station in
Pennsylvania did, an ABC affiliate, I believe that posted a
one of the Chiron things that Kamala Harris had won
(56:04):
the presidential race in Pennsylvania with one hundred percent of
the precincts counted. You want to really actually have you know,
faith restored in that system, you got to watch out
for those damn mistakes. You've got ballot box burnings, you've
got I mean, there's all kinds of issues. You've seen
(56:27):
people throwing ballots, you know, into the woods and stuff.
I mean, you want to have faith in the system,
then damn it, you better get out there and make
sure that you can restore that faith by making sure
stuff's being handled correctly and don't make mistakes like that.
But even at that point in time, both sides are
(56:48):
gonna claim it was stolen from it. Well, Trump did
the big lie about Okay, okay, okay, just whatever you
want to say. I'm not here too relitigate tooy twenty.
If you've listened to the show, you know how I feel.
You had every right to ask questions and challenge some
of those things in particular states that decided unilatterally through judges,
(57:10):
unelected officials and whatnot. Today we're going to change stuff.
In the last election, you have every right to argue
those things. But you had your chance and you didn't win.
It's that stemp. It's simple, so you move on. But
we're still going to be divided. Kamala could sit there
all day and go, I'm going to be a president
for everybody. Trump could sit there all day and go,
I'm going to be a president. People aren't buying it
(57:31):
because if you it's unfortunate that we now live in
a world of only identity when it comes to our politics,
Like you can't say, Okay for a day, I'm a
Republican or a Democrat.
Speaker 11 (57:41):
That's how I vote, and then the rest of the time.
Speaker 3 (57:43):
I'm an American and I can be frustrated, I could
at times be a little angry, I could be happy,
but I'm not going to live in that perpetual angry.
My only identity is my politics. World. You can't do
it and the other side of it is. And this
(58:05):
is so true. And I get this with people who
tweet and text all the time. They're interested in in
winning an argument and spiking the ball. I said it,
and I've said it a thousand times. Now go back
to my mom, and I asked my mom when I
was younger, what was Watergate? Like she goes, it was
(58:28):
a scandal, and everybody thought it was a scandal, and
it was. It was awful.
Speaker 11 (58:31):
But you know what, your neighbor didn't blame.
Speaker 3 (58:34):
You for something that Nixon did and didn't spike the
ball on you. It's not that way anymore. It's not
because that's what we want nowadays. We don't just want
to win. We want to know that we can spike
the ball in your face, we can own you, we
can high step it to the end zone.
Speaker 41 (58:55):
We're trying to own our opponents, and we get righteously
indignant where we yell at each other. I've seen it here, gentlemen.
Who was sitting over here walked off, was yelling. I
see the board up there. I know some of those
people because they participate in my focus groups. I want
someone to say that America is more important than the
next election. I want someone to say that we have
(59:16):
more that unites us and divides us.
Speaker 11 (59:20):
We totally do.
Speaker 3 (59:21):
The problem is, as I like to tell you guys
all the time here on the Chad Benson Show, our
Little Dog and Pony program, we're the exhausted majority. Eighty
percent of us agree on just about most things. It's
that ten percent on either side that disagree big time.
(59:43):
And unfortunately they're the ones who take this and they
elevate their grievances, fears and anger like you couldn't believe,
and they push it out there and they've got the
microphone and we've got to take it back from them.
Speaker 11 (59:59):
And you have no idea. Yeah, we are so much
closer together. We are.
Speaker 3 (01:00:07):
Man, You go to a sporting event, so last night
the Dalliers one, but I can tell you last night
the Yankee game, there was what fifty thousand Yankee fans?
Speaker 11 (01:00:16):
You think every one of them was a Democrat. Every
one of them was a Republican.
Speaker 3 (01:00:19):
No, it didn't matter. The thing that that bound them
together is their love of New York and their love
of the Yankees. Just like the Dodger fans. We love
each other this moment in time. We've put everything else
right at the front gate. We're in here. Not as
as Maga, not as as as you know, Kamala Harris supporter.
Speaker 11 (01:00:45):
We're here to support the team that we love, the Dollars,
the Yankees. I'm high five with a guy next to me.
Speaker 3 (01:00:52):
I know as political affiliation, and I don't care. And
that's what we're all about. You. Nobod always talks about the
diversity of diversity, diversity, diversity, diversity, diversity is is that
is not the strength that we have in this country.
The strength that we have is the thing that brings
(01:01:12):
us together, that binds us, that makes us who we are.
That's the real thing that is America. And we are
going to be fine. I'm here to tell you right now,
four years from now, we will be arguing over to
new candidates.
Speaker 11 (01:01:28):
Potentially Trump wins. He's never going to leave.
Speaker 3 (01:01:32):
Shut up, Stop with that bs, stop with that fear,
that doesn't help, and that's not real. And if Kamala wins,
Trump's not coming back, isn't that sell by date has
an expiration date that picks up steam on Tuesday, and
(01:01:57):
it will either be four years from now, God willing,
if he wins, that he survives and everything's okay, or
it expires the minute the winner's declared and it's not
him if that happens, and then we move on. But
(01:02:21):
we're going to be here, fighting, arguing, debating in four years.
America is bigger than what these two parties want to
think that we are, that they're the only ones who
(01:02:42):
can save democracy. I'm gonna say this nicely. Settle down,
because that ain't true. We as America are democracy. We
as America are the republic. Americans are the ones who
(01:03:05):
control it, not the parties, not the media, none of
that stuff Israel. And we have to make our voices heard.
And it's tough out there because a lot of the
people that should be heard, well they don't want to
(01:03:26):
get involved. And I don't blame them. I don't blame
them at all, but we need to remind them we're Americans.
You guys are the people that we're giving you and
hiring you to do a job. Go do your job.
(01:03:47):
Stop fighting with each other, and stop telling everybody that
if we don't hire you, the world's.
Speaker 11 (01:03:53):
Going to come to an end.
Speaker 3 (01:03:56):
And for those of you out there who are honestly
worried on both sides, whether you're a Democrat progressive or
a Republican conservative.
Speaker 11 (01:04:05):
Maga, We're gonna be all right, Okay, it's gonna be fine.
Speaker 3 (01:04:10):
Oh you may be pissed, and you may be angry,
and you may be upset, but that's not who you are.
Is a supporter of Trump or a supporter of the Democrats.
That's not who you are.
Speaker 11 (01:04:28):
That's just something you do. And then we move on.
Speaker 3 (01:04:36):
But there is absolutely no doubt that there's going to
be some pissed off, upset people. If Trump wins, there's
gonna be some crying in the streets. Trump loses, there's
gonna be conspiracy theories and anger. And as I said
from day one, if he loses, unless it's a massive blowout,
(01:04:58):
which is hard to see that any of the two
are going to blow anybody out at this moment in time,
people are gonna scream it was rigged. If she loses,
anybody voted against her. They're going to tell you you're
a misogynist, you're a sexist, and you're a racist, and
it's frustrating. Remember so much of all of this stuff
(01:05:22):
is business. Anger division That is business, and it's big business.
Speaker 11 (01:05:31):
It is lots of money in this stuff. Man, what
will you do if Trump loses?
Speaker 3 (01:05:40):
I'll show up the work and do my job because
I love what I do and I don't need Trump
or Kamala or any of that. There's so much things
that I love talking about. This is important, but I'm
not going to base everything in my existence. I mean,
here we are five days away. We've done Halloween stuff
(01:06:03):
up the whoo because I love Halloween. We talked baseball
with a Doliar's winning and let's not forget our movie
countdown and let me tell you something right and left

A sashtag me too, hashtag immigration reforms, hashtag help. I'm
trapped in a hashtag factory and I can't get out
the Chad Benson Show.
Speaker 43 (01:08:56):
So we should have a new president sometime soon. I
don't know when, but sometime in the next few days.
Speaker 44 (01:09:04):
I think it's fair to say they say so your CNN, right, I.
Speaker 43 (01:09:07):
Think it's fair to say that you're not a strong
supporter of Donald Trump. But let me ask you this,
should he win. As a writer, you're gonna have a
lot more material. It's entirely possible that late night ratings
not just for your show, but every comedy show. And
also I should acknowledge cable news will go way up
because there will be a lot more going on. Do
(01:09:30):
you ever think about the election personally versus professionally, like,
are you preparing for a Trump victory in any way? Thinking, well,
at the very least, it will be good for our
family financially.
Speaker 3 (01:09:41):
Jake Tapper right there saying the quiet part out loud,
the thing that I've been saying forever in a day.
Hate hate, hate.
Speaker 11 (01:09:49):
His policies and the rhetoric, but behind closed.
Speaker 3 (01:09:55):
Doors, love his personality, and love is profitability because he's
exactly that. Now, Seth Myers was supposed to say, no,
I'm more American than anything else, and I believe in
this and this person will save American blah blah blah
blah blah, but.
Speaker 11 (01:10:11):
They love Trump because he is box office baby.
Speaker 44 (01:10:16):
Yeah, I'm very happy to say I'm not. I'm not
looking at this election for my own financial well being,
and I'm very disappointed in the people who seem to
make that their number one reason for.
Speaker 7 (01:10:28):
Who they're voting for.
Speaker 44 (01:10:29):
Look, I personally would be very tired to go through
another four years like we did the first time out.
Speaker 7 (01:10:36):
I don't.
Speaker 44 (01:10:37):
I think you know, material when you're a comedian is
always out there.
Speaker 7 (01:10:41):
You don't have to have it served you want to
play it.
Speaker 44 (01:10:42):
It's almost more fun when it's a little bit.
Speaker 7 (01:10:44):
Harder to get to.
Speaker 3 (01:10:45):
So I would appreciate.
Speaker 44 (01:10:46):
The challenge of a post Trump world where we didn't
have it sort of thrown in our face every day.
Speaker 7 (01:10:52):
I bet you probably feel the same. I mean, I
know you're not allowed to say it any think.
Speaker 43 (01:10:55):
You know you have no idea who I'm voting for
or what I think about any of this. And I'll
cover the.
Speaker 3 (01:11:02):
Babies.
Speaker 11 (01:11:03):
Yeah, I'm thinking that's not true.
Speaker 3 (01:11:05):
Let me tell you something if Trump loses, because you know,
being in this business, I talk to a lot of people,
to a lot of stations. I'm on a lot of stations.
Very blessed to do, so pull the curtain back. I'm
good with talking about anything. You want to talk about soccer,
you want to talk about cricket, talk about movies, talking
about love. I don't care talk about anything. But I
have friends in this industry who are terrified that if
(01:11:26):
he loses, they've got nowhere to go, can't pivot. And
on the other side of it, I have friends who
are in this industry who are journalists, wink quink, nuts, nuts,
who worked for big, big, big papers, whatnot. And their
fear is what am I going to write about? What
am I gonna talk about if there's no Trump? To
(01:11:47):
be the resistance because that's all they've ever known for
the last seven, eight years, nine years whatever is being
the resistance. They're not going to write about policy, and
now they're going to go have to defend a lot
more than they are now. So both sides have an
issue here, and the people that are good, the people
that can, we'll pivot, and the people that can't will
(01:12:11):
fall away. He's business baby, and he's box office.
Speaker 11 (01:12:15):
He's gold. He's number one for them right now.
Speaker 3 (01:12:21):
That's why they've been trying so hard for the last
three four years to find that next one that is
going to be the evil one, because you can't just
be evil, You've got to also be entertaining. And entertaining
is number one with a Biggie evil small three, two, three, five, eight,
(01:12:44):
twenty four to twenty three at Chad Benson Shows your Twitter.
Speaker 11 (01:12:46):
You're missing the show. Grab the podcast, Chad Benson.
Speaker 1 (01:12:48):
Sure, this is the Chad Benson Show, The Chad Benson Show.
Speaker 12 (01:13:19):
Every how week.
Speaker 3 (01:13:23):
We're five days away from our version of trick or treat.
Oh the gud I did there? That's pretty good, right, Like,
we're five days away from the election.
Speaker 11 (01:13:34):
That's what I'm trying to say.
Speaker 40 (01:13:39):
Let's go, go, go, go go.
Speaker 4 (01:13:44):
I always got more publicity than other people.
Speaker 5 (01:13:46):
I know, Donald Trump's type.
Speaker 4 (01:13:48):
We had the greatest economy in history.
Speaker 5 (01:13:51):
Elections matter.
Speaker 6 (01:13:52):
Did your fat husband off the couch? Get that get
that fat pig off the couch?
Speaker 7 (01:13:58):
Do you think Donald Trump is a fascist?
Speaker 25 (01:14:00):
Yes?
Speaker 5 (01:14:00):
I do, Yes, I do.
Speaker 6 (01:14:02):
And he said that, I hell, did this happen to
my son? He's not a bad person. I'm a good person.
Speaker 9 (01:14:08):
I can imagine what can be and be unburdened by
what has been.
Speaker 10 (01:14:11):
You read Fordy do this.
Speaker 11 (01:14:23):
All right?
Speaker 3 (01:14:24):
We are five days away from the big day. I'm
not quite sure we're going to get a victor on
that day. Both sides think they have won and lost
at the same time, which is kind of odd. There's
an old saying in business, kids adapt or die. Chad,
(01:14:44):
you're talking politics to say business, I know, but adapting
is important. Can you capitalize when given the opportunity? Can
you capitalize? So, as you guys know, the media got
(01:15:05):
into a time machine on Sunday and they went back
to nineteen thirty nine in Madison Square Garden and said
if I was a Nazi rally there. Then they came
back and said Donald Trump was at that Nazi rally.
In fact, he hosted it. And during it there was
a comic because all great Nazi rallies start with a
(01:15:29):
little levity. Okay, totally, but then the comic did some
comedic things and it didn't go over. Well, that's what
I'm trying to say. And the word garbage was uttered
and so pounce on something.
Speaker 11 (01:15:49):
And they did, and they did. The media, the Democrats,
you know, running around.
Speaker 3 (01:15:54):
Nazi Nazi, Nazi garbage, garbage, garbage, Nazi Nazi Nazi garbage, garbage, garbage, garbage,
The problem is the people that you're you're speaking to
out there, those people, right, Republicans, they already knew you
were going to say something that because you've been saying
that for I don't know since nineteen was it forty eight?
He's been saying that about Republicans and the Democrats that
(01:16:20):
are listening paying attention, they already knew you were going
to say that, so they were super excited about So
nothing changed.
Speaker 11 (01:16:26):
Nothing changed.
Speaker 3 (01:16:28):
So Monday turns to Tuesday, the Big night, the night
of nights. Kamala Harris, her opportunity, the deazzl the world
from the Ellipse. We talked about it yesterday. She had
everything going for her, except she didn' muzzle the old guy.
Speaker 11 (01:16:46):
And then the old guy.
Speaker 3 (01:16:47):
Came out and said, garbage Trump supporters our god badge.
Speaker 13 (01:16:54):
Or Puerto Rico where I'm in my home state of Delaware.
They're good, decent, honorable people. The only garbage I see
floating out there is his supporters. His demonizational scene is unconstable,
and it's on America.
Speaker 3 (01:17:08):
Oh see, that wasn't what people were expecting.
Speaker 11 (01:17:15):
Because you had her on her big night.
Speaker 3 (01:17:18):
It's her wedding nightmare and all of a sudden all
over her just absolutely destroyed her night. So what do
you do? This is where the adapter die comes in.
Donald Trump took something and said, watch what I do.
Watch me spend this like there's no tomorrow. Watch me
take this and run with it.
Speaker 11 (01:17:43):
And boy did.
Speaker 3 (01:17:44):
He showed up at the airport in an orange vest
and then drove in a trash truck. And when he
did well, he held a press conference.
Speaker 16 (01:17:57):
I think that the comment by really both did what
really doable?
Speaker 3 (01:18:02):
About being garbage?
Speaker 16 (01:18:03):
Maybe two hundred and fifty million people they shouldn't be talking.
Speaker 3 (01:18:07):
That's like deplorable failure.
Speaker 4 (01:18:08):
This is the deplorable failary.
Speaker 16 (01:18:11):
And I think this is worse actually for Joe Biden
to make that statement.
Speaker 12 (01:18:15):
It's really a distress.
Speaker 3 (01:18:18):
It was. Now she's got to come out and defend
something that she shouldn't have to defend. She didn't say it,
but it doesn't matter. You're part of the administration, which
is also a huge issue right there. That's maybe the
biggest issue of all for voters who are going to
finally make that decision ultimately, is your part of this
administration and his numbers are underwater.
Speaker 11 (01:18:36):
Therefore your numbers are underwater as well.
Speaker 3 (01:18:40):
But now you're having to defend something, and he has
taken something that two days ago everybody's like, is a
Nazis all the things? And all of a sudden, now
it's switched to you and you're defending things. You're having
to answer questions for something you didn't say, and oh
my god.
Speaker 40 (01:18:54):
What did you think when you heard President Biden make
those competes? Well, first of all, I think that president
has explained what he meant, but I said it earlier
that song.
Speaker 8 (01:19:05):
We disagree with any criticism of the people based so
they vote for it.
Speaker 3 (01:19:11):
Now, if you were smart in the Adapter or Die world,
and I'm not talking about her intelligence, I'm talking about
the marketing opportunity, this is where you'd pivot away from
him at one hundred miles an hour. But you're not
going to throw him under the bus. You haven't. This
is your second mistake, the first one being I would
change nothing when people are pissed, angry and they're not
(01:19:34):
thrilled by the direction that the country is headed, and
you didn't pivot away from that. That was your first one.
The second mistake that you're making is you're not moving
away from him. And you've got this in front of
(01:19:56):
you to do it, and you're not going to because
for whatever reason, I said Steve A. Smith, I saw
him last night. He goes, she's not going to drop
a dime on him.
Speaker 11 (01:20:03):
No, she's not.
Speaker 3 (01:20:06):
But this should be about winning and people who win.
And here's the difference between Trump. You can hate them
all you want, you know, all that stuff.
Speaker 11 (01:20:15):
Some people play.
Speaker 3 (01:20:18):
And they think, Okay, this is what's going to happen,
and we're going to do this and we'll see what happened,
and we'll see what the outcome is and we hope
we win. And some people play to win. Trump's pivot
on this is amazing. It is a master stroke of genius.
He showed up in a trash truck, showed up in
a trash truck wearing the orange vest.
Speaker 6 (01:20:38):
And one of my people came in and said, sure,
you know, the word garbage is the hottest thing right
now out there. Sure would you like to drive a
garbage truck? Now we're about, you know, thirty minutes from landing.
Speaker 4 (01:20:50):
We had to do this pretty quickly.
Speaker 6 (01:20:51):
I said, it's kind of cool, though, isn't it, Because
you know and I said, you know, I think that's okay,
but you know, I don't feel comfortable wearing a suit.
Speaker 12 (01:20:58):
And then they said, sir, we have a vest.
Speaker 4 (01:21:02):
So I said, how the hell do you get into
this truck?
Speaker 12 (01:21:04):
It's way up high. It's a big one.
Speaker 6 (01:21:05):
Hey brought this brand new, gorgeous truck, wonderful drivery looked
like Carrie granted his Prime.
Speaker 13 (01:21:11):
You know that?
Speaker 6 (01:21:12):
And I said, man, this is bad because now I
have all the cameras that all what the stair the
first stair is like up here?
Speaker 4 (01:21:18):
I'm sick.
Speaker 6 (01:21:19):
So I had the adrenaline going and I made it
the look.
Speaker 3 (01:21:24):
It's a master struck con genius. It is a marketing
pt Barnum. Take something and turn it into something else,
grab even more momentum and push on adapting to a situation.
And then when there is a slip up, no matter
how minute it is, you grab a hold of it
and you punish. Like sports, great athletes, if you make
(01:21:49):
a mistake, even a small one, they will punish you
for that. Average athletes they won't. This is where he

it happened.
Speaker 22 (01:26:35):
It started as a big party and then things started
getting really rowdy. They were tagging metro bus as we
saw somebody dancing on a bus and things got really,
really crazy. They declared an unlawful assembly and then started
dispersing the crowd, and that's when these thieves started to
take advantage basically of some of these unattended stores here.
Speaker 11 (01:26:56):
I love Ellly, so stupid, but the doll Years did

my father, I love the Dollyers. My mother still have
season tickets the Dollars. He's not a fan of baseball.
A little slow. I mean, they're trying to do some
stuff to make it quicker and better. But last night
Dolliers were down. They were down. They were down. Fifth inning,
(01:27:28):
the Dollyers are losing five to nothing. It looks like
it's heading back to La. And then everything went sideways on.

Three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four to twenty
three at she had Benson Show, I was your Twitter
tweet at his text the program.
Speaker 11 (01:29:02):
You know it's funny.
Speaker 3 (01:29:03):
I got a lot of texts in tweets last night
because the garbage thing that Trump did is brilliant, and
watching the left try to, you know, like the mental
gymnastics about like well it was a hanging you know,
parssiple with a you're like what you're just making words
up now with like a missed apostrophe. I think there
(01:29:24):
was an amper Sam that was missed and that's what
he really meant to say, and he's just hilarious. But
the fact that Trump showed up in the garbage truck
and watching people try to not give him credit. Look,
I said the other night, Kamala and the whole backdrop,
all of that stuff was just outstanding. I mean, you
(01:29:46):
could have drawn up better, except for the fact that
you were counterprogrammed by by Biden and the garbage comment.
Speaker 11 (01:29:53):
I give her props for that. It was a hell
of a thing to.
Speaker 3 (01:29:56):
Do on the site on the lips with January sixth,
most infamous day in American history took place. I mean
you you could have drawn it up better. I give
her props, but you can't even recognize what Trump did
was brilliant. And the fact that he wore the orange
vest everywhere three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four,
(01:30:19):
twenty three at chat, Benson shows your Twitter, all right,
we're gonna get to the number one scary movie next.
Speaker 11 (01:30:24):
Why are we doing it next? Because This movie.
Speaker 3 (01:30:25):
Needs so much time to breathe, and it is awesome.
Speaker 45 (01:30:31):
It is the Chat Benson Shown, Chat.
Speaker 1 (01:30:43):
Benson Show, The Chad Benson Show.
Speaker 3 (01:31:06):
Normally I do this Scary Movie countdown, and we do
it at the end of the hour.
Speaker 11 (01:31:14):
But you see, my love of horror movies brings us.
Speaker 3 (01:31:17):
To the top spot today, and the top spot there's
so much cultural relevance with it, not just during Halloween time,
but in many other times of the year. This movie
captured America's imagination, captured the box office, won awards, change
(01:31:37):
people's lives.
Speaker 11 (01:31:40):
This movie is terrifying.
Speaker 3 (01:31:43):
This movie is an incredible movie based not just in horror,
but so many other things. And oh, by the way,
maybe the most terrifying thing of this movie is it's
actually based on true events. What so it's going to
take a little longer to get through thin normal. So
(01:32:03):
bear with us. Our Scary Movie Countdown comes to an
end today this year, on Halloween. Let's revisit what we've
been through to get to this point.
Speaker 2 (01:32:15):
We've counted down the thirteen most terrified movies of all time,
and if you've forgotten what they are, let me refresh
your memory.
Speaker 5 (01:32:28):
I am Dracula, come with me and look at the web.
Speaker 7 (01:32:32):
The web.
Speaker 9 (01:32:33):
I have terrible fear of spiders.
Speaker 5 (01:32:37):
It's like a crazy nine day festival.
Speaker 7 (01:32:39):
It only happens every ninety years.
Speaker 31 (01:32:41):
You guys never heard of the Wipepine Slaughter, the Wipeine Slaughter.
Speaker 28 (01:32:49):
The kids of Elm Street. I don't know it yet,
but something is coming.
Speaker 25 (01:32:55):
Have you ever done anything like this before?
Speaker 29 (01:32:56):
I've never done this.
Speaker 27 (01:32:58):
Overseer's my girlfriend, Katie.
Speaker 7 (01:33:01):
She thinks there's something in the house.
Speaker 30 (01:33:02):
It is as if God created the devil and gave
him chaws.
Speaker 4 (01:33:09):
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
Speaker 31 (01:33:12):
I spent eight years trying to reach him, and then
another seven trying to keep him locked up because I
realized that what was living behind that boy's eyes was
purely and simply.
Speaker 2 (01:33:22):
Even now, it's time to find out what masterpiece of
horror cinema the top spot number one.
Speaker 3 (01:33:35):
Ah, you hear the music. You know exactly what I'm
talking about.
Speaker 11 (01:33:40):
No movie has done.
Speaker 3 (01:33:42):
More, I think, horror movie wise, than this movie. You know,
I mean we counted down. I mean, we've got Universal Monsters, Rachnophobia,
We've got all these great movies on here. But this movie, oh,
this movie was something different. This movie captured America's attention.
(01:34:03):
The book was a major bestseller. It was incredible, and
as a young child, I got sucked into it. How
you ask good question. My parents young not great parenting,
(01:34:24):
went to drive in. Explain that to your kids. So
we go to the drive in, and I'm little, and
it's the movie's already been out for a year or two, right,
So the movie's been out for a while, but it's
a double feature. Right, So for those of you guys
who don't remember driving's, you go and you'd pay, you
go in with your car, and it would be the
first movie, and then it would be the big movie,
and then the double feature if you want to stick
(01:34:46):
around and watch the other one or whatever. So we
we went, and I forgot whatever the movie is that
we were seeing.
Speaker 25 (01:34:53):
Again.
Speaker 11 (01:34:53):
It had been in out for a while.
Speaker 3 (01:34:54):
It was probably five years old, and I wasn't meant
to see this movie.
Speaker 11 (01:35:01):
The EXTORSISTM, no, no, no no.
Speaker 3 (01:35:03):
But we were in a situation where we had a
station wagon and I could look through the back and
I could see what was going on in the theater
on the.
Speaker 14 (01:35:10):
Other side, and I was fascinated by it.
Speaker 3 (01:35:13):
And then they thought I was asleep in the back
and through my little blankie I watched the movie. Could
hear all of this stuff? And man, was it incredible.
The movie itself starred a bunch of great actors, but
none of them were real stars at all. Jason Miller
not really a star, more of a theater guy. Linda Blair,
(01:35:36):
the youngster who became the star, played Reagan. She wasn't
a star. In fact, took William Freakin, the director a
long time five hundred kids. He interviewed Ellen Burston kind
of a star, but not a star star star powered name.
And of course the extor syst himself. Father Karris max
(01:35:57):
Van saida interesting note. He plays a seventy year in
the movie. He's forty four when he actually films the movie.
They have to put so much makeup on him to
make him look like he's seventy years old. The scenes
of obviously the big battle between good and evil. Oh
and of course who could forget nobody this the power
(01:36:18):
of Christ.
Speaker 20 (01:36:20):
The power of Christ compels you. The power of Christ
compels you to the power of Christ, compels you to
the power of Christ, compels you.
Speaker 3 (01:36:32):
Great part of the movie in the battle at the end,
like I said before uh Reagan was played by Linda Blair,
five hundred people. They interviewed young kids, varied ages, boys
and girls, and they finally got to her and said
she was an amazing, incredible young actress. She had done
some stuff in New York, but Freakin said, I want her.
She had some questions first and foremost. I don't even
(01:36:55):
know what religion is.
Speaker 32 (01:36:56):
When my mother and I first read the book, I
think the most important thing to him members children don't
know a lot of things about religion. So for me,
I ask questions like everybody else asked, how does she
jump up and down on the bed and how does
the special effects work? Each time we came to a
different part of the demonic possession, it got harder and harder.
(01:37:16):
It wasn't so bad prior to the heavy makeup, but
each time the demon did something it was difficult.
Speaker 11 (01:37:24):
Difficult.
Speaker 3 (01:37:25):
Indeed, the thrashing about bit that everybody sees in the
movie with her and loves and again, she's like thirteen
years old when this happens. She's got a harness on
and you know they've cinched up really good, and you know,
she says there's a giant guy in the other you know,
behind the wall yanking me back and forth. It gives
me that up and down sitting motion. The harness itself
(01:37:47):
comes part and loose, and when you hear her screaming
and stuff, that is actual pain. I thought she was
a great actress. She was an actual pain. She was
a great actress, but the pain because her back broke.
But then they said to her, we're going to have
to shoot it again. After all of that stuff. Now
she's in pain. She's like thirteen years old. And she
said to herself, they said, you can do it today
(01:38:08):
or you can do it tomorrow. And she said, if
I would have said tomorrow, I might never have done
it again. So I went and did it that day.
One of the other things that happened, though, is Linda
Blair did a movie that had a lot of adult themes,
but it also had terrifying parts. There were crazies out there,
wackadoo's out there, and Linda found out firsthand how crazy
(01:38:29):
people could be, and Warner Brothers is like, we better
figure this out.
Speaker 32 (01:38:33):
When The Exorcist came out, it was a lot of
people that it unnerved, and I think they felt some
kind of connection to me. So out of respect, Warner
Brothers was kind enough to make sure that I had
constant protection. I'm appreciative that they were responsible to make
sure that my safety was in order. It's just one
(01:38:55):
of those things. This kind of film is going to
bring out some different personalities from people, and they want
to read something different into the project.
Speaker 5 (01:39:03):
It was hard, but it's okay.
Speaker 3 (01:39:05):
She also lost a lot of her young friends because
her parents, who had seen the movie they allowed some
of the parents of her friends to see kind of
an early cut of the movie, didn't want their kids
to play with her anymore, which was sad. On the
other side of it, well, you see her do all
those things. You needed a voice. So they went to
this actress by the name of Mercedes Cambridge, who would
(01:39:30):
smoke and drank her whole life, and they said, we
would like you to do this.
Speaker 11 (01:39:35):
It was very interesting what some of her demands were.
Speaker 33 (01:39:38):
She said, I should swallow raw eggs, I should smoke
cigarettes constantly, and you got to get me some booze
which is going to make me nuts. And I'm getting
off the wagon to do this. So I want my
priest around to counsel me.
Speaker 3 (01:39:58):
And that's what they did some of the other stuff
they did with Mercedes, and you could hear in her voice.
Speaker 11 (01:40:02):
They did an interview her later on in her life.
Speaker 3 (01:40:05):
Is they wanted her to go through what Reagan went
through at the same time.
Speaker 34 (01:40:10):
I don't think they had to do this, but they did.
They tore up a sheet and put me in restraint
was around my neck and my arms behind the chair,
and my knees and my feet, so that I would
feel like Linda Blair, whom I've never met, well she
(01:40:31):
was carrying on in the bed, that I would be doing.
Speaker 5 (01:40:34):
The same thing physically.
Speaker 3 (01:40:36):
Yeah, crazy, crazy, crazy indeed. Now here's the other thing
you heard about, the curses, all of the other stuff
that happened on there, and there was a lot of
weird things that happened. William Freakin talked about some of
the weird stuff. Of course, the director of this amazing movie, we.
Speaker 35 (01:40:52):
Built this set. The exterior was in Georgetown, the interior
was on a sound stage in New York and the
set cost about five hundred thousand dollars to build. And
one morning, at four o'clock in the morning, I got
a phone call from the production manager who said, you're
not going to believe this, but the whole set has
burned to the ground. And what had happened was sometime
during the morning hours, this set mysteriously burned to the ground.
(01:41:19):
And never figured out what happened. We had to rebuild
a set. We had to shut the picture down for
three months and rebuild the entire set. It became very strange,
very strange. A lot of things that happened in connection
with the film that were as inexplicable as the events
depicted in the film. We had a priest who came
on the set periodically and would exercise the set, and
(01:41:42):
things would go well for a while, for a month
or so, and then there would be something extraordinarily weird
happened again.
Speaker 3 (01:41:49):
Now the movie finally opened up. Warner Brothers didn't have
a lot of high hopes for it. Well, the book
was a bestseller. The reality is it was a horror movie.
They were opening it up the day after Christmas. They
didn't think anything was going to come of it.
Speaker 11 (01:42:02):
Man, were they wrong.
Speaker 15 (01:42:04):
On December twenty sixth, nineteen seventy three, in twenty four
selected engagements in the United States, William Peter Blatti's The Exorcist,
directed by William Freakin, opened from the novel that had
long been on the bestseller lists, and directed by the
man who had brought the French Connection to the screen.
The Exorcist had long been awaited, widely speculated upon, and
(01:42:26):
anxiously anticipated, but no one, no matter how close are
deeply involved in the film, could possibly have anticipated what
was to happen. At every theater where this film played, they.
Speaker 14 (01:42:39):
Didn't make a time.
Speaker 12 (01:42:40):
We've feed it.
Speaker 5 (01:42:41):
It's terrific because.
Speaker 36 (01:42:42):
Freddy I can't possibly go I love it, Ryan, you
like it?
Speaker 5 (01:42:48):
Well, we'd have one hundred miles.
Speaker 7 (01:42:49):
So I hope it's a fantastic movie. It's really cross,
it's really terrific.
Speaker 12 (01:42:54):
Again, I want to see if this gonna make me
throw a walk.
Speaker 26 (01:42:57):
Never in my life known a movie where people would faint.
I mean it's hard to make people think.
Speaker 3 (01:43:06):
Oh. It did so much, went on to win some
Academy Awards, some BAFTAs, Golden Globes, made some people superstars,
and the cultural relevance of this movie still exists to
this day. The battle of good and evil. We can
go on and on, but as a horror movie, it
is terrifying. And the big reason is because it's based
(01:43:27):
on a true story, not the movie in the book itself,
but the events that inspired Laddie to write the book
about a young boy.
Speaker 11 (01:43:36):
Who passed away in twenty twenty.
Speaker 3 (01:43:40):
Ronald Hunkler was his name by Ronald Doe, who in
nineteen forty nine went through several weeks of an exorcism
that included two different states and was terrifying, if not
more terrifying than the actual movie itself when you read
into it. In twenty twenty, after he had a stroke,
pre showed up at a hospital to get him his
(01:44:00):
final rights. His family had no idea what was going on,
how they even knew, but they had followed him his
entire life because of what took place back in that day.
He didn't remember much of what took place during the exorcism,
but he did go on to lead a pretty productive life.
One of the reasons we get to go to space,
or at least come back from it, is because he
(01:44:21):
helped build the heat shields for NASA. Interesting point right there.
There is no movie that I think did more in
the horror world than this. It is truly terrifying. It
is the number one movie on the Chad Benson Show. Countdown.

Speaker 3 (01:47:15):

I'll have some pictures a little bit later. But because
it's Halloween, you're gonna go spend money. Probably you're like,
damn it, I forgot it's Halloween today. I better go
out and get some candy. And we're spending a lot
of money on candy.
Speaker 12 (01:47:27):
Hi, you don't have that too many zero zero to gain.
Speaker 26 (01:47:30):
Just how much folks are actually spending on this year's holiday.
Speaker 29 (01:47:33):
So the National Retail Federation estimates Halloween shoppers will spend
a combined eleven point eight billion with a B dollars
before October thirty.
Speaker 5 (01:47:42):
First.
Speaker 3 (01:47:42):
That's a lot of money. Eleven billion dollars is what
we're spending on Halloween. But we are downsizing this year.
We're not spending as much as we used to on
certain things, but still eleven billion bucks.
Speaker 46 (01:47:53):
This is the time of year where fall is big,
like more than twenty five hundred pounds of pumpkin big,
Yet this year it's also big to downsize.
Speaker 47 (01:48:03):
We see consumers willing to invest in these events, but
also looking for ways to be smart with their budget.
Speaker 46 (01:48:10):
The National Retail Federation's annual survey predicts that choppers may
spend around one hundred and four dollars per person, down
four dollars and sixty two cents from twenty twenty three's
record high. So overall spending might be lower, though still
billions more than just a decade ago.
Speaker 47 (01:48:25):
But it is certainly one that captures consumers attention and
focus and generates a lot of excitement around this time
of year.
Speaker 11 (01:48:33):
As it should.
Speaker 3 (01:48:34):
We're spending less and that's because of bidnomics, which is terrifying.
Three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four to twenty
three atchadventson show is here, Twitter, tweet at, is texta program, solid,

lot of stuff that is going to take place between
now and then chaos, craziness, conspiracy theories. Everybody, go out tonight,
enjoy Halloween. Maybe spend one hundred and five dollars if
you have a chance, and some Halloween stuff, Give some
candy out. Take your mind off the lunacy because it's
going to be scary enough in the world of reality.
