Speaker 1 (00:11):
The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (00:13):
The scary time is here.

Speaker 3 (00:16):
The government shutdown is in full effect, and we are
closer and closer to the SNAP benefits not being the
treat they have been.

Speaker 4 (00:27):
Day thirty if the government shut down and the clock
ticking down for more than forty two million Americans set
to lose crucial federal food assistance. On Saturday, New York's
Governor Kathy Hokul declaring a state of emergency.

Speaker 5 (00:39):
This is a food emergency, and I want to unleash
every tool at our disposal to keep New Yorkers from
going hungry.

Speaker 4 (00:46):
In California, the governor deployed the National Gore to help
box up meals.

Speaker 2 (00:51):
Yeah, this is getting serious, people. This is not the trick.
People are hoping for retreat and we can discuss whether
or not we should or shouldn't have a treat. What
happened if we got rid of SNAP and this, that
and the other people are worried though we.

Speaker 6 (01:07):
Really can't work as much and who really needed it
and have like big families maybe three to five mouse
to feed and you now have to come out of
pocket for all those things you almost get assisted from,
and it's just going to be a big scare, and
so I have seen the impact that this is going
to have on communities and families around and it's really tragic.

Speaker 7 (01:26):
And so any type of way that you can give back.

Speaker 8 (01:28):
Or serve any type of community.

Speaker 9 (01:30):
You need to like it is really an advocate for
service right now.

Speaker 10 (01:33):
The longer this goes on, the more we're going to
see families who were always getting by starting to look
for help, and they might not be sure where to
turn because they've never been in that position before.

Speaker 11 (01:45):
We are already seeing a drastic increase in our clients
coming in to our pantry saying that they are in
need of food supplies. Some cuts have already been made.
People are already seeing it in their accounts.

Speaker 12 (01:57):
With the government shut down, are nervous about a lot
of different things, you know, with snap being one of
the things that they are eliminating, we don't know what
else can be eliminated.

Speaker 2 (02:09):
I that's why you don't depend on the government. Can
we just say that she just said something there that
was maybe the most important thing you may hear all
day outside of happy Hallouen, which was we don't know
what else we can depend on When it comes to government,
you should never have to depend on the government, because
a government that gets you to depend on them is
a government that can control you. So you should never

(02:29):
depend on the government. The problem is the government inserts
itself in so many places it's hard not to have
some form of government dependence. Even if you don't need
stuff from them, there may be something down the road
business wide wise you may have to turn to them.
So there is the frustration that I feel in this look.

(02:51):
Nobody's going to go hungry. We do not live in
a nation. If Snap went away forever, nobody's going to starve.
People will adapt. They will. There is no doubt in
my mind that people will absolutely adapt if it went away.

(03:11):
The issue for a lot of people, though, is it
wasn't so much whether or not they were surviving. He
heard a lot of people say in that little quick
SoundBite there that they were getting by or their clients
as they call them, and the food shelters in homeless
places is their clients. They were getting by. They need

(03:32):
a little help. This has changed all of that, and
it's going to get ugly. But I'll say this throughout
the show. What's going to happen now is Sunday morning
shows they're all booked out for Sunday morning. Okay, Sunday
morning is a big deal to them. In their mind.

(03:57):
They're going to go out and they're going to do
their thing. It's not as big as it used to
be because well, we live different lives and we're so
fragmented in our media, and they're going to make one
last pitch. And right now the Democrats are losing. They're
losing this right now because the way that the I
think they understand, the Republicans are not going to cave

(04:21):
in on this unless the polls absolutely just crush them,
and that isn't happening. It isn't. So it's not if,
But when, in my mind, will they come to the
table and how will they sell it? And that's been
the Democrats' biggest issue for the last umpteen years. They

(04:41):
couldn't sell life to a dead man who had everything
going for him. Why does it have to be a man?
So this is and by the way, snap is not
just it. We're going to get to the medical side
of stuff coming up in a little bit. But the
reality is this weekend is their last pitch to America,

(05:04):
kind of like when you vote, it's your last pitch
to America that Sunday before. This is why we're doing this,
This is why we're doing this, this is what matters,
et cetera, et cetera. And then they all run back
and they've got their internal polls, and you're looking, Oh
my god, oh my god, oh my god. Are we winning?
Are we winning? Are we losing? Are we winning? Are
we losing? Right now the Democrats are losing.

Speaker 4 (05:26):
By mid next week, this shutdown is going to break
the record for the longest in US history. And right
now it's definitely going for the record because so far,
and this can change, but so far, there's no deal
in sight that would end this shutdown.

Speaker 2 (05:42):
No, and there's not going to be a deal. I
think we're going to break the record. Barring something absolutely incredible.
The record's going to be broken. And I didn't think
it would last more than a few days at most.
So it's going to be interesting. And then there's something
else that may be even more interesting and scary. I

(06:03):
saw what you did, Jed. Because of the Halloween. I've
said that Trump's legacy is the Supreme Court. That's Trump's
legacy because it's allowed to shape potentially for decades the
conservative side of the law and the reading of the Constitution,

(06:26):
and potentially our society that will be overtaken if he
gets his way in what he's proposing now. And I'm
telling you, guys, this right here will reshape our nation

(06:47):
in a way that you want to talk about. In
my mind, not overstating it feels like, oh, of all
the slipperiest of slopes, this is the one that maybe
we up the shark and it's going to be over
this morning.

Speaker 13 (07:04):
President Trump is calling on Republicans to change the rules
in the Senate to reopen the government, Trump posting overnight,
it is now time for the Republicans to play their
Trump card and go for what is called the nuclear option.
Get rid of the filibuster, and get rid of it now.
The move would allow Republicans to pass a bill to
fund the government with a simple majority instead of the
sixty votes currently needed.

Speaker 2 (07:25):
No effing way, period, case close, end of story. Do
not do it, John Thune, I am telling you right now,
you better double check today if you've got a set
and you better withstand this.

Speaker 13 (07:45):
Senate Majority leader John Thune has warned against this move,
saying it could come back to bite Republicans whenever Democrats
take power back.

Speaker 2 (07:53):
And I know what some people are saying, but Chad,
we'll get stuff done. Eventually, you won't be in charge.
Harry Reid pulled the nuclear option to get Obama's judges
and nominees through. Chuck Schumer said, we're going to rue

(08:14):
this day. The reason that the Court is the way
it is now is because of the nuclear option. Something
they did caused the Republicans to take advantage of it.
So let's just say, for the sake of argument, Republicans
aren't in power anymore, and the Democrats are medicare for

(08:37):
all Green New Deal. We can go on and on,
because all it takes now is a simple majority. What's
gonna end up happening is you're going to have extremes
from one side to the other. The reason the Senate
is set up the way it is, it's supposed to

(08:59):
be a low deliberate body. Congress sways a lot more.
They're there for two years before they essentially at well
really they're there for a year and a half and
then they got to try to get re elected. But
they're always trying to get reelected. But every two years

(09:23):
you've got to face the people again. For the Senate,
it's different. You're there for six years, so style, if
you will, of the moment doesn't sway what's going on politically.
Senate's one of those things where it's got every new fashion,

(09:46):
and tomorrow there's another fashion, and then tomorrow there's another fashion,
and there's another haircut. The Senate does its thing. It's like, hm,
I kind of like this fashion. I'm gonna keep it.
I'm not going to react to everything that's going on.
If you got rid of the filibus, it wouldn't be
that way anymore. The swings would go from one side
to the other, from one side to the other, it

(10:08):
would go back and forth and back and forth, and
then we would be in a much worse position. So
cannot have this. The nuclear option cannot be done. And
I hope john Thune has the strength enough. And I
don't know if they do. Honest to god, I don't

(10:29):
know if any of these guys and Mike Johnson john Thune,
I don't know if they do. He has warned about it,
but I don't know. Marjorie.

Speaker 14 (10:38):
I'm so angry at my own party, and I'm angry
at all the men and leadership in the House and
the Senate, and I'm like, you guys are weak and pathetic,
and so that's that is my viewpoint because I have
a I'm a business owner, and I think of these
these are our customers, and we have a responsibility to

(10:58):
serve our customers, and we have a responsibility to take
care of our employees. And then also I'm a mom,
and I think you always take care of your children,
no matter what, you go above and beyond to take
care of your kids and make sure they're safe, make
sure they're you know, everything about it is good for
them in their future. And I'll just tell you I'm

(11:19):
beyond pissed off at my own party and the leadership
in the House and the Senate that they are totally
blowing it.

Speaker 2 (11:27):
I agree, and I want to see if they have
the khon's to put their foot down when it comes
to Trump trying to persuade them to use the nuclear option.

we always say, shame on you. Make sure you gra
have that podcast right here on the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 22 (15:49):
Prices are up nineteen percent from a year ago. Beef
is up almost fifteen percent.

Speaker 2 (15:55):
Make sure that people selling you to your crystal aren't QAnon.
Three things that I will not apologize as a modern
day vampire. It was also a disturbing signal the Democrats
are way to continue to shut down. I guess forever?
What do I do now? How do I support and
feed my children? This weekend, guess what happens? Yeah, we
get an hour back kind of sort of, but it

(16:15):
gets darker earlier, which sucks. It's like three in the
afternoon and it's dark. You're like, is it midnight? It's
three in the afternoon. I got more stuff to do.
Are you kidding me? But the kids get to go
to school in the sunshine in the morning. Yeah, okay, folks.

Speaker 26 (16:31):
We say goodbye to daylight saving time this weekend, which
is a favorite for many because in theory, we're gaining
one hour by setting our clocks back one hour. It
also brings up the debate whether or not we should
still be doing it.

Speaker 2 (16:43):
Is it beneficial?

Speaker 3 (16:44):
Well.

Speaker 26 (16:44):
Benjamin Franklin invented this concept back in seventeen eighty four
with a thought that rising early would economize candle usage
and save people money. Pushing clocks forward to make greater
use of daylight hours during the summertime was adopted officially
during World War One as part of a global attempt
to conserve energy. That's the rationale that keeps us doing

(17:06):
it today.

Speaker 2 (17:07):
Does anybody use candles anymore. No, okay, I just want
to make sure kerosene, no, none of that stuff, all right,
all right, well then let's just stop it. Okay, keep
it where it is now. Let's have sunshine a little
bit longer in the afternoon and the kids will get
over going to school when it's a little bit.

Speaker 4 (17:22):
Darker out there.

Speaker 2 (17:22):
Three, two, three, five, three, eight, twenty four, twenty three

Speaker 2 (19:23):
It's the countdown you've been waiting for. Which movie will
take the top spot?

Speaker 28 (19:30):
How about a fish tail so big because the jaws
open wide.

Speaker 27 (19:39):
Or the story of a young innocent girl battling evil
with some Hell, Well.

Speaker 19 (19:47):
Then let's introduce ourselves.

Speaker 2 (19:49):
I'm Demon Caras and.

Speaker 4 (19:50):
I'm that Cavil.

Speaker 2 (19:51):
You'll have to listen to find out. Are you ready?

Speaker 27 (19:56):
Number one?

Speaker 2 (20:03):
If you hear these amazing tubular bells name of the song,
by the way, you know exactly the movie that is
number one. Number one for so many reasons. First of all,
the impact it had on horror, because it brought horror
into a mainstream world where it was nominated for Academy Awards,

(20:24):
a lot of them. It was a monster hit that
came with controversy. It was scary as hell. The number
one movie easily because of the impact it had not
only in the world of horror, but in cinema itself.

Speaker 29 (20:46):
The Exorcist somewhere between science and the superstition, there is
another world, world of dumness. Nobody expected it, nobody believed it,

(21:15):
and nothing good stopped.

Speaker 30 (21:20):
There are no experts. You probably know as much about
possession as most priests. Look, your daughter doesn't say she's
a demon. She says she's the devil himself.

Speaker 4 (21:31):
I'm telling you that that thing upstairs isn't my daughter.

Speaker 31 (21:35):
Now, I want you to tell me that you know
for a fact that there's nothing wrong with my daughter
except in her mind.

Speaker 17 (21:41):
You tell me you know that an ecorism wouldn't do
any good.

Speaker 32 (21:45):
Tell me that.

Speaker 29 (21:53):
The one hope, the only hope. The Exorcist.

Speaker 2 (22:02):
So amazing movie starred a young Linda Blair playing Reagan McNeil.
Ellen Burston, Jason Miller, Max Van Sidow, Lee J. Cobb.
It was so amazing. Now, I was a young kid
when I saw it. Not great parenting, But the way
it worked was we used to have drive ins, and
the movie had been out for a while, and it

(22:24):
was being shown as part of a double feature. So
they had the new movie up and then they had
the exercise as a throw in because it had already
been out for a couple of years. One of those
things I remember, Long Beach, California. I was like four.
I watched the movie not on our screen, but I
could see the movie on the drive in across from us,
and I was mesmerized and terrified watching it through my blankie.

(22:48):
But it was incredible and I fell in love with
horror on that day. This movie is so incredible for
the way it was shot, for the way it was done,
how it tied everything in. Based on a book done
by William Peter Blattie, it was directed by William Friedkin,
and it was inspired by a real exorcism involving a

(23:09):
fourteen year old boy known as Ronald Doe. And a
lot of people have no idea that this movie was
actually inspired by a real case. The original source of
this comes from a Maryland case. Roland Doe is his name.
It's real name, I think is Robbie Mannheim. His story
began when his I think it was his aunt or's
grandmother was visiting and they played with a Wuigi bord.

(23:30):
She died and then things got crazy. Stuff started happening
at the home. Furniture moved on its own, scratching, noises
echoed in the walls, objects levitated, and then he started
speaking Latin. He started growling, having violent outbursts. Local priest
eventually Jesuit priest called in to perform a multitude of
exorcisms over several weeks, first in Maryland. Later in Saint Louis,

(23:52):
Jesuit priest Father William Boudern led the main exorcism, which
reportedly lasted just over a month in a hospital Saint Louis.
Words like evil in Hell appeared on his body, Mattresses
would shake violently and levitate, and his voice would change. Eventually,
the demons were pushed out and exercised. Peter Bladdie, who

(24:15):
wrote The Exorcists, read the story in The Washington Post
in nineteen forty nine, and it stayed with him for
a very long time. Eventually, when he wrote the book,
he got a hold of the real notes of the
priest who performed the exorcist, and on top of that,
he spoke to the other priest who assisted him in this.

(24:35):
He said, while he swapped out the boy for what
would be Linda Blair's part, everything else outside of the
spinning head and a few other things was pretty much
what happened, according to the notes Peter Bladdie had read,
as well as the eyewitness accounts, and he said that
they over dramatized some of the stuff, the spinning head

(24:57):
and the projectile vomiting everywhere, but a lot of it
was exactly as the priest had witnessed and what was
written down in the notes. By the way, the young
Ronald Doe went on to have a normal life, didn't
really remember much of what took place, and has since
had a family of his own. Passed away a few
years ago. But that actual exorcism led to the story

(25:20):
that became The Exorcist and a movie that changed Hollywood,
and it changed Hollywood in a major way. Horror movies
were bankable, but they weren't cinema. They weren't Academy Award winners.
This was nominated for ten Academy Awards, one two Best
Adapted Screenplay, and Best Sound. Not only did it do that,

(25:41):
it turned a young girl into a megastar in Linda Blair.
And it was box office bank grossing four hundred million dollars.
Adjusted for inflation, that would be two billion dollars today.
But the movie came with controversy. Churches labeled it the
work of the devil, heavily edited and banned in some
kind of scared the but Jesus out of a lot

(26:02):
of people. This is a report from nineteen seventy three,
the opening week of the film, as people were coming
out in the middle of the film after they had
passed out or just couldn't handle it anymore.

Speaker 19 (26:14):
It just scared me to death. Things just like this,
It's just scared, really scare me to death.

Speaker 2 (26:18):
I'm as nervous.

Speaker 33 (26:19):
I fainted like ten minutes after the first beginning of
the movie. I walked out and they gave.

Speaker 19 (26:25):
Me some water. I passed out.

Speaker 31 (26:28):
I think it's disgusting.

Speaker 2 (26:30):
What it's just, it's just.

Speaker 31 (26:33):
It doesn't you know, it doesn't make him want to
get sick like Erdy says it just my legs are
just going and I want to go in the lobby
and not watch it, and I have to cover my ears.

Speaker 2 (26:42):
Yeah, it was massive, and that kind of stuff caused
it to grow even more where people wanted to go
test themselves to see if they could get through the movie. Now,
the voice that you hear in the battle between Max
Bensadau and Jason Miller the Priest is Mercedes McCambridge. She

(27:03):
won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress and All
the King's Men. She was nominated for the same category
for the movie Giant, and Orson Wells called her the
greatest living radio actress ever. She was an alcoholic and
they needed her voice to be crazy, so whiskey was

(27:23):
back on the table for her and some other things.

Speaker 25 (27:26):
If it's this close in me right here, I'm only
a gent be it's that close, and everybody everybody came
from the second forward a.

Speaker 18 (27:39):
Hi.

Speaker 2 (27:42):
That isn't hard, just creepy. You can hear it there.
So she was the demon and the voice you heard.
But who played the actress that became the star was
Linda Blair. And Linda Blair was only fourteen and everybody
was worried about, well, all the stuff that accompanied this
big of a role and the maturity of the stuff

(28:03):
that they were going to be doing in this.

Speaker 34 (28:05):
Each time we came to a different part of the
demonic possession, it got harder and harder. It wasn't so
bad prior to the heavy makeup, but each time the
demon did something, it was difficult.

Speaker 19 (28:20):
Here in this cash would you likely.

Speaker 2 (28:22):
The message again? She was fourteen at the time, and
the backlash she got included the fact that she her
friends disappeared. She didn't have friends anymore. She said it
was tough time making friends because parents who had seen
the movie wanted nothing to do with her, thinking she
was possessed. They had to get bodyguards for her. The

(28:45):
studio did it was It was a tough time for her,
but in interviews over the years, she's talked about growing
up in the spotlight, being famous, but also having to
deal with this situation with the exist how tough it was,
but she recognizes what it also brought her and appreciates it. Now,

(29:06):
if you're going to have a demon, you need somebody
to fight the demon. They brought in amazing actor Max
men side Out, which gave us that amazing moment when
they focus in on him after the cab drives away
and the lights on him and the fog, and it
was just amazing. Here's the interesting thing. Max was only
like forty eight years old when he shot the film.

(29:28):
They tried to make him look like he was a hundred.

Speaker 8 (29:30):
It was my first confrontation with playing a Catholic priest,
which was new to me and very interesting though. And
also I was supposed to be so much sholder than myself.
I had to wear so much makeup that when I
thought I made a reaction facial reaction, it didn't show.
I had to fight so many technical, special effect, superficial things.

(29:55):
The entire set during the Exorcism was refrigerated, which meant
but when all the lights were set, and then when
the devil really when God going, he cracked groups earls
or ceilings and walls and things which had to be
Then we had to adjust to the dear devil and

(30:17):
his workings, which was kind of complicated.

Speaker 2 (30:21):
The film set itself was supposedly cursed. Fire destroyed parts
of the set except for Reagan's bedroom. Several cast and
crew deaths occurred as well, Before and right after the
filming of the movie. When it comes to scary movies
and the impact that movies can have, there is nothing
close to what The Exorcist is. Battle of good and evil, religion,

(30:45):
scares theater of the mind. It is an incredible movie,
not just because, as I tell you guys how much
I love horror movies, just for itself as a movie.
It is more than just standalone. You're number one in
your scary movie countdown The Exorcist three two, three, five, three, eight,
twenty four to twenty three at Sheadminton show is your X,
your Insta, YouTube, Facebook and more. A lot of stuff

(31:09):
still to get to in today's show. Relief Factor. I
take it every single day. We've talked about relief Factor
and how good it is for your body. It's got
four key ingredients. I make a three fatty assets, ris veritrol,
kussaminn nicarin, each supporting the body's inflammatory response for a
different metabolic pathway. You can take it every single day.
It's not addictive, and it's good because it helps you

(31:30):
recover from those, you know, extra days of working out
physical exertion. This happens as we get older too. You
just get a little sower all the time. This helps
you in a major way. I swear by it, so
does my wife. I take it every single day, and
I'm working out more and more and I'm training more
and more, and I love the fact that relief Factor
is there for me. That's what I want you to do.

(31:51):
Try a three week quick start for just nineteen ninety five,
so let's than a cup of coffee a day. You
will feel the difference and experience for yourself what I
already know. It's it's amazing. Go to relief Factor dot com.
That's relief Factor dot com or called one eight hundred
four relief. That's eight hundred to number four relief for
relief Factor. This is the Chad Benson show.

Speaker 1 (32:21):
Funnie with Scissors sounds great compared to this.

Speaker 20 (32:24):
My favorite holiday is Halloween, and not just because women
use it as an excuse to dress like prostitutes. Hey, ladies,
totally do. I'm a witch. If she was a hooker,
I'm little miss Muffett. I'm sure you are. Hey, that
almost sound a dirty fellow because a kid Halloween was

(32:46):
amazing and dressed like a superhero. You bang on your
neighbor's door and they give you a canby I do
that today. My neighbor wants me arrested probab because I
make a hot catwoman. Can't he wants some candy.

Speaker 2 (33:10):
I'd love me some. Jim Gaffigan, there some little fright
Day funny. Speaking of Fright Day, you know, we talk
about inflation, all this stuff, tariffs, There's a lot of
things going on. But if you had noticed, candy's a
bit up. Kids this year. We didn't take out a
loan to get your candy.

Speaker 35 (33:27):
The prices are very very high this year.

Speaker 36 (33:29):
It's a sweet sticker shock at checkout lines this year.
One of the main items more expensive this Halloween is chocolate.
One reason is because of less cocoa powder crops overseas.

Speaker 37 (33:40):
Local beans are growing outside the United States. The chocolate
itself has gone up an additionally on percentage because of
the tariffs, which kind of hurts it.

Speaker 36 (33:48):
Steve Sikora owns a candy store. Every month he buys
thousands of pounds in products, but this year he noticed
the change.

Speaker 37 (33:55):
Or some Michael saylers are just adding like a line
like tariff charge and you know, charging us additionally.

Speaker 36 (34:00):
While the extra tariff charge is an effect, Steve is
doing what he can to help his customers. According to
the Bureau of Labor Statistics, candy and chewing gum prices
are up nearly ten percent over the last year.

Speaker 2 (34:11):
Yeah, they're up, and there's a lot of reasons for that.
It's not just tariffs. There's several different things that are
going on when it comes to the prices, But tariffs
play a role in it, as does issues in places
like the Ivory Coast and whatnot. I mean, this is
it sucks, man. Inflation is attacking Halloween. I used to

(34:33):
be able to go out and get all this free
candy from people. Now do no, But I do take
the kids around. We're doing that tonight. But I've noticed,
you know, It's like I go into the stores and
I'm looking, I'm like, how much is this again? Is
this one bag of candy? There's no other. I don't
take the whole box of candy. It's just a bag,
that's right.

Speaker 36 (34:52):
Last year, Americans spent over seven billion dollars on Halloween
chocolate and candy. That's a two point two percent increase
from twenty twenty three, according to the National Confectioners Association.
But experts tell me through it all sales of chocolate
and candy this Halloween season are expected to grow roughly
three percent.

Speaker 38 (35:10):
If you tend to go away from kind of the
non chocolate things like gummy worms or stuff like that.
Inflation has certainly kicked some of that up, but as
far as chocolate goes, that's what you're seeing the big
skin prease.

Speaker 2 (35:23):
In I Love America. We are not going to skimp
on the candy, thank god. Three two, three, five, three eight,
twenty four to twenty three at Chad Benson Shows, your
ex your Insta, YouTube, Facebook, and Morphemousy show with the
podcast right here on the Chad Benson Show. Coming up,
our number two of the program, we're going to talk
about government shutdown. I mean, this is the last day

(35:46):
for snap and you know all the stuff that's going
on there. We're going to talk about really what the
potential is come next week, because it's going to get
serious next week. They got to get through the Sunday shows.
You got to get through the Sunday shows. They've already
put themselves in position to go out there and to
essentially explain their position one more time and then they'll
be looking at internal polls. But we'll see We're also

(36:09):
going to talk about AI trade deals, nukes, you name it,
oh exact Abrahm, Chief Mestment Officer. The Board's going to
join the program as well. Our number two straight Ahead
Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (36:23):
This is the Chad Benson Show, The Chad Benson Show,

(36:53):
Chick Talk, Tick Talk.

Speaker 3 (36:57):
Soon the clock will strike midnight, and there will be
fright as the benefits go away?

Speaker 2 (37:06):
Will they come back one day? See the way I
did that, that was totally an AdLib right there. Will it happen?
Won't it happen? We're getting closer and closer. The government
shut down continues, and as it continues, people are worried. Obviously,
benefit's going to be going away. And let's not forget

(37:27):
the healthcare cost that will be soon arriving on people's
computers and maybe even in their mail. What's mail? This
thing that used to be sent to your house with paperwork,
and you're gonna go, oh my god, my premiums.

Speaker 4 (37:39):
Every state but one now warning snap assistance will halt
For Americans like single mother Melissa Miles in Michigan, relying
on the program to feed her son.

Speaker 35 (37:49):
I don't see how we are one of the wealthiest
countries in the world. Yet we're willing to let people
go hungry because people can't communicate and.

Speaker 4 (37:59):
Agree across the country, food banks scrambling.

Speaker 2 (38:03):
Now I want to dispute this and what she said.
You will never go hungry in this nation. People are kind,
people are good. Long before SNAP was there, we depended
on community. They will help, they always have. SNAP was

(38:26):
not designed to be a lifestyle. It was designed to
be a helper, especially when times got tough. When I
was a kid growing up, we were pour a f
I always joked about government cheese. We had government cheese.
You guys remember that. Do you just remember government cheese?
Government cheese was my mom's like, I'm gonna make you

(38:49):
a grilled cheese. What she really said is I'm gonna
burn the bread, the cheese won't melt, and it'll probably
still be cold. People ask me why I have a
palette of a five year old because we were that poor.
We were so poor when I was growing up that

(39:12):
I would eat liver liver two three days a week,
and my mother wasn't a good cook, so it wasn't
like something special. So I know poor, but I also
know people help. And my mother dragged herself into a

(39:38):
better life and an amazing life that she has now.
But that took work, There's no doubt, and pride was
there with my family, like any family, we don't really
have that anymore. People don't really seem to think it's
a big deal. People take to the interwebs, you know,
every day you can just go online and be like,
I'm never gonna eat again. It's like, settle down. But

(40:03):
to say that everybody's going to go hungry, that's not true.
But it doesn't mean this isn't a big issue that
needs to be dealt with. I think the bigger issue
on top of all of this, though, is going to
be the healthcare and we'll get to that in a second.
But for the Republicans and Democrats, really all that matters
is whose fault is it.

Speaker 39 (40:23):
We have a new poll, and you know, as far
as the White House believes, they believe that it's Democrats
that are paying the price for this. But our poll
shows that forty five percent blame Trump and congressional Republicans
only thirty three percent blaming Democrats, twenty two percent saying
they're not sure. But here's the other thing. Our poll shows.
It shows increasing worry among Americans about the impact of

(40:46):
this shut down, seventy five percent saying they are concerned.

Speaker 2 (40:51):
That right there is the biggest number. Remember, you got
to get to fifty point one for there to be
a real uh oh moment, and we're not there yet.
The weekend will have I think a big play in this,
because they're going to go have their Sunday shows and
I'm gonna go out there and pitch the world, Oh
my god, this is their fault, this fault, this bat

(41:12):
and ba rah rah. Now, out of all of this
stuff that is going on, Trump is making noise about
something that to me, if he got the Republicans in
the Senate, one person in particular, Thuon to do this,

(41:32):
to make this move, it would be the biggest mistake
in his presidency and it would forever, I believe, shape
our nation. Right now, I think his biggest legacy isn't

(41:53):
the four hundred and eighty wars he said he stopped.
I'm kidding a little hyperbole there. That'll be big, but
that's a global thing. That's not wars that we're here. Okay,
it's not that his biggest legacy is the courts. But
if he got John Thune to do this, his legacy

(42:21):
would be this, and let me tell you something, it
wouldn't be a good legacy.

Speaker 39 (42:24):
He should a flurry of statements on social media overnight,
he called the Democrats quote stone cold crazy, and he's
calling on the Senate to eliminate the filibuster. This is
a move that would allow Republicans in the Senate to
pass spending bills without a single Democratic vote. Trump called
this the nuclear option. Republicans have long opposed doing away

(42:47):
with a filibuster. In fact, just recently, the Republican leader
John Thune said that that would be a something that
they should avoid at all costs.

Speaker 2 (42:58):
Correct now, I hope Fune has the cajones enough to
tell Trump no. If he doesn't and he decides to
do this and they pulled the nuclear option, understand this.
What comes next is eventually the Democrats will be in power,

(43:23):
and eventually they're going to go Medicare for all. We're
going to get rid of this. You can't stop us.
We're going to add this the Green New Deal. Uh
oh yes. The one time that they've used the nuclear
option and killed the filibuster was to fill Obama nominees,

(43:47):
including judges. Harry reidid it, and what happened. Trump took
that same option, the nuclear one that was available because
Harry did it, and what happened. Well, we've got the

(44:07):
court that we have now, so by doing this, you'd
be reshaping America. Cannot happen, John Thune, don't be an idiot.
Show some cajones. If you what's out on this, I'll

(44:32):
tell you what. I will campaign against your ass every
day I can. This cannot happen. I'm telling you, guys,
talk about a trick that is not a treat. It
would be this one hundred percent. The filibuster is important.
The Senate is not like Congress. They're not fly by night.

(44:55):
They're supposed to be deliberate. They're supposed to be slow.
They're not supposed to react to the ongoing chaos and
now social media, in any media, they're supposed to take
their time. It's a much more as they would say,
deliberate body, don't do it soon, don't. We moved from

(45:21):
our Castle drama to drama and the real castle world
of Britain overnight.

Speaker 40 (45:27):
The British tabloids reacting to news that Prince Andrew is
losing his royal titles. The cover of the Sun reading
the Andrew formerly known as Prince King Charles tripping his
brother of that honor over his ties to a convicted
sex offender, Jeffrey Epstein.

Speaker 18 (45:42):
Learn about and next thing.

Speaker 2 (45:45):
Just this week the King facing intense scrutiny. Wait, hold
on a second, I thought nothing happened. Just out of curiosity,
I was told that, uh, the Steen is a hoax.
What did Thomas Massey say that he called this? This

(46:07):
isn't a government shutdown, this is an Epstein recess. But
he said, the funniest thing he's seen, meme wise is
it's a shame. Epstein killed himself before he found out
it was a hoax. They're yanking his princeship, not a prince.

(46:31):
This doesn't happen often, like rarely. Ever, the move exceedingly
rare in the UK. The last time this happened was
in nineteen nineteen, when Prince Ernest Augustus lost his title
for siding with Germany in World War One. The Palace
announcing Prince Andrew will now be known as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor,
adding these censures are deemed necessary, notwithstanding the fact that

(46:53):
he continues to deny the allegations against him, he'll be
known as Andrew Kid Toucher mcgeee. I don't think he's
very nice. No, he's a scumbag. He's an absolute, pure
scum bag. And the more that they look into it,
I mean, it's just insane. And of course we have

(47:16):
just totally decided right now the Epstein thinks not a
big deal. I mean, my goodness, Mike Johnson, do you
do realize that they're on recess Congress. This isn't a shutdown.
He put them on recess and by doing that, he's
doing everything he can to avoid swearing in Grihalva in Arizona.
Who would be the vote that puts it over the

(47:38):
edge on the Epstein files? Oh yeah, yeah, insane, absolutely
crazy three two, three, five, three, eight, twenty four to
twenty three at Chad Benson Show, is your ex, your Insta,
your YouTube, your Facebook and more. I love hearing from
each and every one of you.

Speaker 35 (47:58):
I do.

Speaker 2 (47:59):
Let me know about their drama is very royal. Our
drama is the royal pain in the ass. It's kind
of a way that works here in Amerca. Merca, let
me know what you think about the filibuster too. I mean,
I get the frustration that people have with government, but
if we were to get rid of the filibuster, the

(48:19):
reactions and the whiplash that we would find in our politics,
I think would eventually crumble us. Let me know what
you think. Three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four

(49:26):
trade wars. Good deal, bad deal? What kind of deal
is it? How long will it last? Also, he's talking
about going nuke and then he's talking about testing nukes.
Talk about that as well, Chad Benson.

Speaker 1 (49:38):
Joe, you're listening to the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (49:53):
China and America Are we friends again? No, cause we're
not supposed to be friends. We're friends enemies at best.
Doesn't mean we can't be friends in the future when
G's gone. But she loves the power he has and
Trump enjoys his power. And they've been going back and forth.
And as we head into the really getting serious as

(50:13):
of tomorrow Christmas season, the reality is people are worried
about tariffs.

Speaker 16 (50:18):
Understandable as of now a trade war between the world's
two largest economies has been averted. But I say as
for now, because this deal only lasts for a.

Speaker 2 (50:28):
Year, only a year. We got a one year deal.
The question is how real is it? How long is
this deal really going to last? Because we know what
happens with Trump, We've seen it before.

Speaker 16 (50:38):
We have seen this pattern with President Trump. He gets
very frustrated by one move by a certain country, and
then he responds by threatening even more tariffs, and then
that country responds by threatening additional tariffs on the United States.
And that's what sort of started this back and forth
tit for tap between the US and China. There's nothing
in place that's going to prevent that from happening again,

(50:58):
So we will have to see just how long this
feel holds up.

Speaker 2 (51:01):
I have no I have no idea. First of all,
I don't even know what's out there as far as
what we're tariff. And when I say out there, it's
never blanket. It's like it's twenty five percent. No, because
you know, these things over here may be ten percent.
This stuff over here may be fifty percent. Some of
these things over here maybe twenty two percent. These things
may be nothing, because you never know. And it is

(51:25):
hilarious because when I talk to news people like do
you know what's on? I have no idea, no idea.

Speaker 16 (51:31):
In return, the President says the United States is going
to cut tariffs on Chinese goods by ten percent, so
that brings the total to roughly about forty seven percent.
But that still means Americans are paying more than what
they were paying even just a year ago on goods
that are imported from China, things like clothes and electronics.
The President says his goal here, of course, with these tariffs,

(51:52):
is to drive up manufacturing in the United States, but
that could take years.

Speaker 2 (51:56):
Here's the thing the nuanced world, you can't ever say
anything without people on one side or the other saying,
oh my god, you're not part of our tribe, which
is good. The reality is is tariffs aren't gonna work
like that anymore. It just isn't gonna happen. We're not
going to manufacture stuff here the way we used to,
and if we do, it will be mostly through robots.

(52:18):
The issue with tariffs three two, three, five, three eight,
twenty four to twenty three at chadmentson show is your
ex your Insta, YouTube and more Let me know what
you think ready on the Chad Benson Show. The length
in time it takes to build a factory, move the
stuff that you need to said factory, find the workers,

(52:40):
train the workers, and get them up and running takes years.
And by the time you get that done, the tariffs
could be gone. So without that permanent tariff. You're not
going to find companies are going to manufacture here unless
it's going to be mostly robots. In keeping with Trump,
apparently we're going to test some sort of nuclear bo
which I'm not sure. Wait what, why are we doing

(53:04):
this again? Well, because they tested over there, the Russians.
Really they didn't test.

Speaker 9 (53:09):
Wait what the persident seems confused about this. No other
country right now is doing explosive nuclear testing. In fact,
in this century, no country has tested nuclear weapons except
North Korea, which conducted six nuclear tests. So the person
and that's one of the reasons they're considered a rogue nation.
They're the ones who are broken the international norm. So
what you have seen is people testing delivery vehicles some

(53:32):
of the missiles you see going off right now.

Speaker 2 (53:34):
And that's what the Russians did. It's expensive to test,
and it takes years to get things ready, about one
hundred million plus a year to get it ready. When
all is said and done, it'll take close to a
billion dollars plus to get something ready to test. It's
not like we just take out one of our nuclear weapons.
We go, who's fired, I'll see how it's going. That's

(53:56):
not the way that works. Oh now I understand why
he did it. I think he's trying to send a message,
but everybody knows. No, no, they're testing the delivery mechanism,
not the actual explosives itself. Coming up, my Budy's at Abraham,
chief Bestment Officer Bullet Capital is going to join the program.
We're gonna talk about AI and so much more in
the economy straight ahead. This is the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 7 (54:19):

Speaker 1 (54:40):
The Chad Benson Show is.

Speaker 2 (54:42):
That time of the week. We talk to our man,
Zach Abraham, chief vestment Officer Board Capitals. We talk about
all the economy and all the things to go with it.
Rates going down, but I still feel uneasy, man, I
gotta be honest with you.

Speaker 32 (54:55):
Well, so a lot of concern. First of all, a
lot of craziness going around the market.

Speaker 2 (55:01):
Today.

Speaker 32 (55:02):
Apple announced a good quarter. I guess I didn't think
it was that great considering the release of a brand
new phone, and then you look at their China sales.
Disappointed yet again, that stock was up four percent after hours.
I honestly, if you would have showed me the report,
I would have thought it'd be down four to five
or more. I just don't understand why anybody wants to

(55:24):
pay forty two times earnings for fifteen percent margins and
eight percent revenue growth I know, and slowing iPhone sales.
I mean, have fun. If that's what you want to do,
go ahead. The Amazon. Amazon announced really strong quarter driven
off a lot of AWS. One different thing you want
to think about with Amazon, though, is go back six months.

Speaker 2 (55:45):
Amazon stock, even after today is flat.

Speaker 32 (55:48):
It made a new all time high a little bit,
but it's effectively flat over the last six months. And
I'll be honest with you, I Amazon was a little
bit different because they had some really good AWS no numbers,
excuse me. And they actually had some really good sales
of their AI chip that they've developed.

Speaker 2 (56:07):
It's not on part with nvideo, but it's good.

Speaker 32 (56:10):
And the reason I bring that up is because, unlike
a lot of these tech companies, like if you look
at Meta, Meta got lit up today. That to me
is a really big warning sign. And the difference between
Amazon and Meta. Finally, the market Meta's big drop is
all about how much they're spending on AI. That's why
their stock's getting slammed. That's a really big that's a

(56:32):
really big thing. That is the first time we have
seen a company get punished and punished significantly for overspending
on AI.

Speaker 2 (56:41):
That very well could be a preview of things to
come and should be. It should be if.

Speaker 32 (56:46):
Things are working, you know, fundamentally in a sound way.
The thing that I'm concerned about and that you're seeing
increasingly and I was going through numbers today if you
look at normal non tech know logically tied in or
any types of retail facing client companies that are not
tied into AI, almost universally across the board, they are

(57:10):
talking about a slow down in consumer spending and they
are dialing back forth quarter expectation.

Speaker 2 (57:14):
We're talking to Zach Abrahmer, chief investment officer Bullard Capital
again AI. It's it's you know, Amazon this week obviously
announced they're they're going to shed so many jobs and
they just said, look, we're going to run like a
like a startup company. We don't need all these people.
There's a lot of fear out there that you know,
where are we going to be in a year where
we're going to be in thirty six months with this,

(57:36):
you know, job wise, because this is the other thing.
I mean, eventually if everything's AI, nobody's got any money
you spend on anything? What do you need?

Speaker 32 (57:44):
And that's why I just say that at the very least,
the market's putting the cart in front of the horse.

Speaker 2 (57:48):
Yeah right.

Speaker 32 (57:49):
The market is declaring this the biggest, the most impressive,
you know, profitable technology of all time. Objectively speaking, they
are making radical leaps on the capability of AI over
the short term.

Speaker 2 (58:06):
They just are. Meaning the one of my head analysts
put it really well. My head analysts put it really well.

Speaker 32 (58:12):
And what he said was, when you look at the
prices in the market, the assumption the market is making
is that this isn't the development of AI. This is
the envelopment of true superior artificial intelligence. Yeah right, at
a level that can replace people in a very short
period of time.

Speaker 2 (58:32):
Okay, that's the narrative.

Speaker 32 (58:33):
When you look at the underlying structure today, what is AI?

Speaker 2 (58:37):
You're miles away from that, You're not close.

Speaker 32 (58:41):
So the issue that we're having mathematically is not that
these bets aren't going to pay off. It's that the
bets are so large even the companies that when we
cannot see how this does not at the very least
impair their balance sheets for an extended period of time, right,
because the more you win invest it like, and you

(59:03):
and I have talked about this before, but it's like
everybody's forgetting this.

Speaker 2 (59:05):
But it's gonna be so great. It's gonna be so great.

Speaker 32 (59:07):
And you're like, guys, every single day that invest amount
goes higher, you need to quit thinking about it's gonna
be so great, and you start need you need to
start thinking like it needs to be so great.

Speaker 2 (59:20):
Yeah, right, because you're just raising the ball. You're getting
further away from any profitability. Yeah, dude.

Speaker 32 (59:25):
They're like, well, it's gonna increase revenues two hundred billion
over the next six years.

Speaker 2 (59:29):
And I'm like, you just invested five hundred billion. Yeah,
so you're negative three hundred billion. Yeah.

Speaker 32 (59:35):
Yeah, you got to get a positive net return on
that money. Now, remember what they're risking too. The reason
these companies are at the top of every index is
because they have incredibly capital like businesses. Right, we think
about Amazon. Okay, so Amazon is what I call it
turnstyle business. They spend time developing the Amazon ecosphere, and
almost all of that cost was realized up front and

(59:57):
a one time shot and then you play pay minimal amounts,
kind of like property tax to maintain and keep it going. Right,
But every single day it's cranking you out profit. Right,
it's beautiful, says Capital Life Business. You realize the cost
up front, you reap the profits for decades, right, beautiful.

Speaker 2 (01:00:13):
AI's the opposite. So yes, they've.

Speaker 32 (01:00:17):
Built the greatest businesses in history. But the investment they're
making works the opposite. It requires constant new investment dollars.
There is no set it and forget it, right, meaning
we will see the winner of AI and three months
later you'll see somebody else dethronom. That's the way this
is gonna work. It's the way it's already working. Right,

(01:00:38):
Look at what happened in China with Deep Seek. How
quick did Chad Gpt get knocked off the front page? Yeah, overnight,
there's so much It's gonna be a big deal. There
are gonna be some big winners, but there is so
much more uncertainty than is being priced in. None is
being priced in, I mean the outcome being priced in Nirvana, right,

(01:00:58):
there is no downside. Everybody tied today, I is going
to win. Most people tie day I are going to lose.

Speaker 2 (01:01:03):
Yeah, I've always said, the bubble popped with the Internet craze.
There were winners, and their winners, for the most part,
is still around and they were fine. But for every
one winner, there was a thousand losers. And there won't
be a thousand losers each time because there's too much
money in this thing. But there's going to be a
lot of losers. And it almost feels like it has
to get to that point before it gets settled and

(01:01:25):
we start to see, Okay, what are the capabilities, where
are we really going with this?

Speaker 36 (01:01:29):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:01:29):
And where do the revenues come from?

Speaker 36 (01:01:32):
Yeah?

Speaker 32 (01:01:32):
Because remember, any time you're introducing one of the things
that has made the tech companies so successful is if
you look at so many of their inventions, right, if
you look at so many of their products, their software,
there's services that they've put out. They've been just better
mouse traps that did a better job and saved you
money against what you were already doing.

Speaker 2 (01:01:53):
Right, they were easy sales.

Speaker 32 (01:01:55):
And then on top of that, they packaged it and
this software is a service package.

Speaker 2 (01:01:59):
Right, everybody went the subscription model.

Speaker 32 (01:02:02):
Right, way more, way, more forecastable, way more reliable, recurring revenue,
all these beautiful things, right, and My whole point is
that when you start going down the AI road, it's
the inverse of that. It is an animal that never
quits getting hungry, and they have to invest because not

(01:02:23):
being in it is a major threat to their business.
But the revenue, so the revenue growth that you saw
on so many of these tech companies was based on
the fact that they were disrupting an existing industry, meaning
the money was already there. They just had to convince
you to not spend it with that company and spend
it with them. Okay, AI spending buy and large is

(01:02:45):
going to be mostly new right, new stuff, new functions,
new applications, and typically speaking, that type of technology just
spreads much slower because you've got to convince people to
spend money where they weren't right as opposed to giving
them a better product spending less than they already are.

Speaker 2 (01:03:09):
That's a much easier sell, right. So the other part
of it.

Speaker 32 (01:03:13):
Is you're sitting there looking at it and going, gosh,
if this investment in AI is a creative, where's the
revenue going to come from? Meaning you look at I mean,
GDP would have to climb by thirty percent in the
next five years.

Speaker 2 (01:03:30):
I just the numbers don't match. Now the numbers and
the other thing. And one of the things I've talked
to my uncle, you know he does all that AI
stuff well for our other company. He says, Look, here's
the thing you don't know. What you don't know, meaning
six months from now, what could be the greatest thing
in the world. Well, guess what, the pivot's there. And
when the pivot comes, more money has to come in
to feed this pivot. Then a year and a half
from now, the thing that was the biggest thing in

(01:03:52):
the world is obsolete because AIS figured out a way
to do something different. And now that pivot's coming, it
is it's an ever change this way that way. That's
why I think pinning this thing down, there has to
be one or two winners. And that's about it. I mean,
and I don't kind of seems that way, man, Yeah,
it does, it does. It really seems that way.

Speaker 32 (01:04:13):
And then the other thing you have to remember is
when you look at the businesses that like Amazon and
Apple built, or excuse me, Amazon and Microsoft built, if
you look at the structure of them in the ecosystems,
there is close to like undefeatable type businesses.

Speaker 2 (01:04:28):
You can build too big to fail at some point.

Speaker 32 (01:04:30):
Yeah, Ei, their scale is just too large and nobody
can compete with them on product or price. AI is
a completely different ballgame because you don't need a big ecosystem.
All you need to do, if you come up with
a better AI solution or a better LLM, all you
have to.

Speaker 2 (01:04:47):
Do to compete with the big boys is just plug
it into a data center. Yep, you know what. That's it.

Speaker 32 (01:04:52):
And so literally, a team of five dudes sitting in
a garage in Beijing can can all of a sudden
launch an LLM that makes every single other LLM and
the in the in the global, in the globe obsolete.

Speaker 2 (01:05:04):
Yeah, and that is going to happen.

Speaker 32 (01:05:07):
And I just don't I don't see how you're ever
going to build a moat around it. And the reason
it's going to be impossible to build a moat around
it is you're not competing against human beings.

Speaker 2 (01:05:18):
Yeah, you're not.

Speaker 32 (01:05:20):
You're competing against You're competing against machines that are working
twenty four hours a day. And I so what I think,
what I think is going to happen, at least in
the beginning, is I actually think that AI should be making.
Like I said, I think it should be capable making
multiples come down because it is adding unbelievable levels of
uncertainty into how these businesses are going to work.

Speaker 2 (01:05:42):
What is it going to look like? You know, we
don't know, We don't know.

Speaker 32 (01:05:46):
We just know it's drastic change, and the assumption that
all that change is going to be priced positive.

Speaker 2 (01:05:52):
It never is, no, So.

Speaker 32 (01:05:56):
It just I'm really having a hard time keeping the
narrative as it relates to the price movements. Meaning we
have declared this the most important technology, and we've already
decided it's a winner and it can't be stopped, and
you're so far away from even knowing what it is.
We don't even really know what it is at this point,
let alone know what the ROI on these invested.

Speaker 2 (01:06:18):
Dollars are going to look like. It's just it's crazy.
It's crazy, exactly. A Ramchi investment officer, Bullward Capital. People

Speaker 1 (01:08:13):
To ches Chet, No not the Country, the Institution, the
chat Vnson.

Speaker 3 (01:08:18):
Show and cheating with our creep Halloween scene.

Speaker 2 (01:08:24):
I think we've all had this.

Speaker 41 (01:08:25):
So I've had sleeve paralysis since I was a kid,
and I just learned why it's so terrifying.

Speaker 19 (01:08:30):
Turns out it all goes back to evolution. Here's the thing.
For most of human history, we.

Speaker 41 (01:08:35):
Lived surrounded by predators, so our brains evolved this hair
trigger alarm.

Speaker 19 (01:08:40):
If something moves in the dark, we don't wait to
find out what it is.

Speaker 41 (01:08:43):
We immediately assume danger. That interesting to kept us alive.
But during sleep proalyss it completely backfires. About one in
five people experienced us at least once your mind wakes up,
but your body is still frozen in sleep mode. Your
eyes can move, you can see your but your brain
is partially dreaming, hallucinating things that aren't there. So our

(01:09:06):
brain fills in the dark with something dark shadows, demonic figures,
old hags at the foot of the bed, footsteps, breathing,
And because of that ancient survival instinct, your brain doesn't
see random hallucinations.

Speaker 19 (01:09:20):
It sees a presence, an entity, a ghost.

Speaker 41 (01:09:24):
That's why so many people swear they've seen something supernatural.

Speaker 2 (01:09:28):
Ooh way, yeah, it's creepy. I think we've all had
and you feel like you can't get out of it.
You can't move your arms, you can't move your leg
It's just and the evolution thing. Do not discount that
we've talked about this. Women and men are different. No,

(01:09:50):
they're not. They are women. The latest study that they've
done I don't know a gazillion time at night, women
hear the baby. What do they do they wake up? Why,
that's nature, that's evolution. Men they hear something rustling outside
just could be leaves blowing. What do they do they

(01:10:13):
wake up? Where a woman might sleep through it. The
reason evolution. Sleep paralysis part of evolution. Speaking of creepy
and weird, I don't know about you, but no, I'll pass.

Speaker 21 (01:10:29):
Knowing the exact moment you're going to die is more
possible than you might think.

Speaker 42 (01:10:34):
We ask you twenty nine questions and we tell you
when you're going to die, the exact seate of your death.

Speaker 21 (01:10:40):
Brand Franzen is the founder of Death Clock AI, an
app that uses artificial intelligence to analyze a person's health.
And no, it's not meant to predict the exact day
of your death.

Speaker 42 (01:10:51):
We don't actually think you're going to die on that
specific date, but we do think it's directionally very accurate
the life expectancy itself.

Speaker 2 (01:11:00):
Yeah, I'm going to go with the pass on this now.
I know at some point in time AI is going
to get so good that it's going to predict within
you know, X amount of weeks or months how long
you may have, like right down to it for a
healthy person, And I'm talking about Okay, you know you're
going to live for another thirty two years, but based

(01:11:22):
on all the data within this timeframe of X and y,
you know, you know April and May, your clock will
run out in you know, two thousand and seventy two.
I get that. I'm just not sure I'm ready for
that at this moment.

Speaker 7 (01:11:38):
He says.

Speaker 21 (01:11:39):
They trained an AI model on twelve hundred peer reviewed
longevity studies, and then.

Speaker 42 (01:11:44):
It makes a series of recommendations supplements, cancer screenings, things
you should talk to your doctor, a whole bunch of
different things.

Speaker 21 (01:11:50):
But AI has a tendency to go wrong or hallucinate,
a particular concern when talking about public health rands and says.

Speaker 42 (01:11:57):
We see it in testing, and we've mostly engineered it out.
We're very conservative in the recommendations that get made.

Speaker 2 (01:12:04):
Yeah, but still No. Three, two, three, five, three, eight,
twenty four to twenty three at Chad Benton Show, is
your ex your Insta, YouTube, Facebook, and more. Let me
know what you think about that if you miss a show,
got the podcast right here on The Chad Benson Show.
Coming up, final hour of the week, we have our
countdown to number one scariest movie of all time. You

(01:12:29):
kind of know what it is because it's also arguably
the greatest horror movie and one of the great films
of all time. We'll be doing that more on the shutdown,
but also the nuclear option and while Trump talks nuclear weapons,
he's also talking about another nuclear option that I think
would reshape America so fast and become the legacy that

(01:12:53):
he leads. So we're going to talk about that as well.
We've got a little watch trending among other things. That's
all straight ahead, Chad bentson, This.

Speaker 1 (01:13:02):
Is the Chad Benson Show, The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (01:13:33):
What will happen? Will people starve to death?

Speaker 8 (01:13:38):
No?

Speaker 2 (01:13:39):
Will people struggle? They might? Will people eventually adapt? Absolutely,
But there's no doubt there's going to be some issues
if something doesn't get done sooner rather than later. When
it comes to the government shutdown, it's not just about
snap although that's the immediate focus, which is understandable.

Speaker 4 (01:13:57):
The worsening food crisis now on a collision course with
the issue at the heart of this shutdown, expiring Obamacare
tax credits. Starting this weekend, more than twenty million Americans
will see how much their insurance costs could skyrocket. Paul
A Graham, a breast cancer survivor in Virginia, saying her
premiums will quadruple to over one thousand dollars a month.

Speaker 2 (01:14:18):
It's as basic as food.

Speaker 34 (01:14:20):
We all need to have access and people should not
go bankrupt for having a cancer diagnosis or an accident.

Speaker 4 (01:14:27):
Vice President Jade Vance admitting the administration is quote very
worried about these skyrocketing premiums, but so no healthcare deal
in sight to end this shutdown.

Speaker 2 (01:14:36):
Snap very important in the immediacy, there's no doubt about that.
But the healthcare cost ooh maybe is the thing on
the huge in the Republicans and Democrats. It's so funny
watching them because, let's be real, the subsidies. As Obamacare

(01:15:00):
didn't work, the subsidies are there to eat up a
portion of the cost. We spend so much damn money
on waste. And I'm not talking about waste, fraud, and abuse.
I'm just not waste when it comes to the crap
that we end up spending money on before we ever
get to our health care provider. So much of that
money is what is dedicated to the in betweens before

(01:15:24):
you ever get to your health care provider, the middleman.
But when it comes to the Republicans, they say the
same thing over and over again. Well, the first thing
we need to do is get all the illegals off
of Medicare. They're not on Medicare. They're not eligible for it,

(01:15:48):
so that's not happening. But Chad, what about again, we
have a law in place since nineteen eighty six, long
before Trump, long before Mike Johnson, and this that says,
no matter who you are, no matter what your status is,
if you're in a life threatening situation, a medical crisis,

(01:16:12):
we will see you regardless of your status. That's a law. Okay,
we're not going to let somebody die in the streets.
Just not gonna happen. So that's number one when it
comes to Republicans. Number two is always we've got to
get rid of waste, fraud, and abuse. That sounds great,
and you're absolutely correct, we need to do that, but

(01:16:35):
those are all talking points. None of those are helping
the average person. And I sit here and I if
i'm the Democrats, I want Trump to go and do
the nuclear option. And we'll get to that in a second,
because they've been pushing for that. By the way, too,

(01:16:55):
I love how the Democrats some of them going, well,
they should do the nuclear option. There's a reason for that.
So it's talking points from the Republican with no real plan.
Like I said yesterday, that's like saying, hey, we're going
to play football tomorrow. What are we gonna do, coach.
We're going to run the ball, and we're going to
pass the ball and we're going to tackle. Those aren't plans,
those are talking points. Okay, that's it. And the Democrats

(01:17:20):
you just want to continue to throw money at stuff.
But remember you guys put more subsidies on the American
taxpayers during COVID by raising them, and they're supposed to
sunset and go back to normal. The issue is your
dream of this. Obamacare was just an expensive law. They

(01:17:42):
got far more expensive, and we didn't get any closer
to having healthcare. We just had a law and you
had to buy a card that says, you know, in
case of an emergency, spend a crap ton of money
on a deductible, but you didn't get closer to your
healthcare provider. So there's all kinds of issues wrong with this.

(01:18:03):
But the number one issue is the expense, and that
expense is going to be huge. And the Democrats understand
what's going to happen, and the Republicans kind of do,
but they're not quite sure what exactly is going to happen.
They know the prices are going to go up. They're
just not sure how it affects them in the midterms,

(01:18:24):
because that's what this is all about. Remember, everything always
leads to who's winning and who's losing politically.

Speaker 39 (01:18:33):
We have a new poll, and you know, as far
as the White House believes, they believe that it's Democrats
that are paying the price for this. But our poll
shows that forty five percent blame Trump and congressional Republicans
only thirty three percent blaming Democrats, twenty two percent saying
they're not sure. But here's the other thing.

Speaker 2 (01:18:50):
Our poll shows.

Speaker 39 (01:18:51):
It shows increasing worry among Americans about the impact of
this shut down, seventy five percent saying they are concerned.

Speaker 2 (01:19:02):
All that matters is to poll poll will lead us
to the progress that leads us to fixing the shutdown.
And this weekend it's gonna get serious. They're going to
go on their Sunday shows and they'll yap and try
to make the last real sales pitch to America and
hope that they can sway everybody enough that gets the

(01:19:23):
other side to blink and they get something done. I
don't know if that's going to be true until later
on in November Polymarkets has it the lead is after
the sixteenth, but that could change. So all of this side,

(01:19:48):
there's no doubt that this is going to become a
real issue. As of tomorrow, people are not going to
be getting their EBT, and because they're not going to
be getting their EBT, they're going to be going to
more and more food banks. You're going to see definitely

(01:20:09):
this affect people in a way that the shutdown has
really only affected the government workers up until this point.
And yes, we've had some downstream stuff, you know, like
with issues at the airports and a few things like that,
but for the most part, now you're bringing in forty
two million Americans and because of that, now I think

(01:20:33):
you're going to see it become a little bit more
urgent and the blame game is going to get a
little bit louder. Now. Trump is urging the Republicans to
do something I was talking about that earlier, something that
he must not do in John Thune absolutely, and I
think he will take out his balls today and take
no work because he has to resist.

Speaker 43 (01:20:56):
The President's all caps call to end the filibuster is
not likely to be followed by the Senate anytime soon.
The tradition allowing the minority to hold up legislation is
valued and guarded by long serving Republicans such as Mitch McConnell's,
Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, and others who relied on the
filibuster to block bills when Democrats had control of the chamber,
their votes would be necessary to change the Senate rules.

Speaker 2 (01:21:18):
You cannot allow that. John Thune has already come out
and he's he's against it. But if you tried to
kill a philibuster, I just want to tell you, guys,
the thing that would happen, because I've talked to several Republicans,
really magat folks who are like, I think we should
do this. I think we should we should just do this,
And I'm like, you guys are so shortsighted. How we

(01:21:42):
show it sighted. If you got rid of the filibuster,
we get all we want for now. But eventually you're
not going to be in the position you're in, and
then the Democrats are going to come and they're going
to undo everything you've done, and they're going to put
in place their stuff, and then you're gonna be like,
oh geez, go back to Harry Reid with Obama's confirmations

(01:22:08):
of his nominees. That ended up being the nuclear option
that caused the domino effect that allowed Trump to have
what I think has been and maybe his his legacy,
which is the courts. Because of that, Trump has three
employees on the court. Let me know what you think

(01:22:29):
three two, three, five, eight, twenty four to twenty three
at Chad Benson shows your ex your Insta, YouTube, Facebook,
and more. Meanwhile, issues issues, issues with the Prince, who's
no longer the Prince because he's a douche. That's not
his name. Now I'm talking about Prince and Andrew. He's gone,

(01:22:52):
he's out finait. He's going to live inside his brother's
shack in the back where they keep all the tools.
So there's gonna lay down a little mat for him,
let him sleep there.

Speaker 5 (01:23:05):
King Charles announcing that he has initiated a formal process
to remove the style, titles and honors of Prince Andrew,
adding the Prince will now be known as Andrew Mount
Batton windsor the name change effective immediately. Andrew's also losing
his home, Royal launch the Palace, saying formal notice has
now been served to surrender the lease, all his status gone.

(01:23:27):
He will now be exiled to the King's private estate
Sandringham in Norfolk.

Speaker 2 (01:23:32):
That's right in the backyard. It's that place they keep
like the mower right and all the tools in that shed.
They're gonna give a little heater let him sleep there.
His new title is going to be Andrew Uncle touchy mcpheeley.
I don't think that's nice apparently, So remember Sarah ferguson

(01:23:55):
his axe. She's just called you know, she's called frigib it.
She's lost her times as well. Also dealt with Epstein,
and one of the big pressures they put on him
was Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie his kids. They threatened

(01:24:20):
to strip their title away, and so that was one
of the big things that they also threatened. But apparently
they're going to be able to keep their titles for now.

Speaker 3 (01:24:34):
Acculting to King George fits Let a patent of nineteen seventeen,
the decree limits who and who couldn't use royal titles
and allows prince and princesses titles for children of US sovereign. Translation,
you two ladies continue to be princesses, but Joe Dad

(01:24:58):
and mom, Nope.

Speaker 2 (01:25:01):
Losers, you must dis owned them. No, that didn't say that.
That'd be hilarious though, three two, three, five, twenty four
to twenty three. At chat Benson's show your ex your
insta Medicare. We're just talking about how important healthcare is.
My friends at Chapter want to help you with that.
Medicare comes and goes. You like your plan? Your plan's
gone poof like a magician. Where'd it go? I don't know,

(01:25:22):
got to get a new one. So what do you do? Well,
you can call Medicare agent. What happens, Well, they're gonna
probably put you in a plan that's gonna earn them
the most commissions. Is it right for you? That's why
we want to talk to Chapter. They don't work for
the government or big insurance companies that work for you.
Chapter compares every Medicare plan nation why to find the
best fit for you. On average, Senior save eleven hundred
dollars a year by working with Chapter. They are awesome.

(01:25:45):
And here's the other thing. Their service is completely free
and they'll have your options in under twenty minutes. It's

several people yesterday text me, not only here but on
my local show that said thank you for covering the
Sedan thing, and mentioning what's going on in Nigeria because

(01:27:41):
people don't pay attention to it, and I think it's important.
You know that we are the beacon of hope and
light in the world and what's happening in Sadan is
awful and we need to take a roll that has
nothing to do with oil or gold in this and
the world needs to wake up. Derrick Henry Dwyer's thanks

Seven seven of those. I just want to point that
out on Halloween. Seven of those and this one will
probably make two hundred million dollars plus plus plus plus
plus plus plus plus plus plus filibuster. We've been talking

(01:28:30):
about that throughout the day. That is a trick. That
is not a treat. Prince Andrew, US government chutdown reach
out to us across all of our social media three two, three, five,
three eight, twenty four twenty three at Chad Benson Show,
is your ex your Insta, YouTube, Facebook, and more. Remember

(01:28:56):
if you miss any of the show. We've got an
amazing podcast called our podcast check it out, and we
got videos, so we put up every day on our
YouTube and everywhere else right here in the Chad Benson Show,
Detroit Lions. Did he well? He did? Is he moving?

Speaker 8 (01:29:12):
He is?

Speaker 2 (01:29:13):
To a prison? What? And the nuclear option not to
be confused with nuclear testing, are also things that are
trending in the magical, amazing world of Yeah. Who now,
the filibuster thing is big. You know what else is
trending that we didn't touch on? Daylight savings time? This

(01:29:34):
is the weekend where we go, huh what it seems
exciting We get an hour, but the reality is it
gets darker sooner. We're folks.

Speaker 26 (01:29:43):
We say goodbye to daylight saving time this weekend, which
is a favorite for many because in theory we're gaining
one hour by setting our clocks back one hour. It
also brings up the debate whether or not we should
still be doing it.

Speaker 2 (01:29:56):
Is it beneficial?

Speaker 3 (01:29:57):
Well?

Speaker 26 (01:29:57):
Benjamin Franklin invented his concept back in seventeen eighty four
with the thought of that rising early would economize candle
usage and save people money. Pushing clocks forward to make
greater use of daylight hours during the summertime was adopted
officially during World War One as part of a global
attempt to conserve energy. That's the rationale that keeps us

(01:30:18):
doing it today.

Speaker 2 (01:30:20):
The nightmare that is this back and forth. One of
the things I loved about living in Arizona was the
fact that clock's never moved. Everything was the same, which
was beautiful, going back, going forward, going back, going forward.
First of all, it's not good for us health wise,
but then we run in this weird debate where if
we don't move them back, kids are going to school

(01:30:40):
in the dark. But you know, it gets to like
four o'clock and it's dark outside, and you're like, God,
is it midnight? It's four. The debate continues and rages
on all right. Coming up, number one movie in our
Scary Movie Countdown, And this was an easy one.

Speaker 29 (01:30:55):
We'll do.

Speaker 2 (01:30:56):
That's for to head Chad.

How about a fish tail so big because the Jaws

Speaker 27 (01:32:51):
The story of a young innocent girl battling evil with
some heal.

Speaker 19 (01:32:58):
Well, then let's introduce us else.

Speaker 2 (01:33:00):
I'm Damien Kars and I'm got Camma. You'll have to
listen to find out. Are you ready? Number one? If
you hear these amazing tubular bells. Name of the song,
by the way, you know exactly the movie that is

(01:33:21):
number one, Number one for so many reasons. First of all,
the impact it had on horror, because it brought horror
into a mainstream world where it was nominated for Academy Awards,
a lot of them. It was a monster hit that
came with controversy. It was scary as hell. The number

(01:33:43):
one movie easily because of the impact it had, not
only in the world of horror, but in cinema itself.
The Exorcist somewhere.

Speaker 29 (01:33:56):
Between science and the superstition, there is another world, the
world of daughters. Nobody expected it, nobody believed it, and

(01:34:24):
nothing good stuffed.

Speaker 30 (01:34:28):
There are no experts. You probably know as much about
possession as most priests. Look, your daughter doesn't say she's
a demon. She says she's the devil himself.

Speaker 4 (01:34:40):
I'm telling you that that thing upstairs isn't my daughter, and.

Speaker 19 (01:34:44):
I want you to tell me that you know.

Speaker 41 (01:34:46):
For a fact that there's nothing wrong with my daughter
except in her mind.

Speaker 17 (01:34:50):
You tell me, you know for a fact that an
exortism wouldn't do any good.

Speaker 29 (01:34:53):
Coll the one hope, the Only hope.

Speaker 2 (01:35:07):
The Exorcist, so amazing. Movie starred a young Linda Blair
playing Reagan McNeil, Ellen Burston, Jason Miller, Max Van saidow
Lee J. Cobb. It was so amazing. Now, I was
a young kid when I saw it. Not great parenting.
But the way it worked was we used to have

(01:35:29):
drive ins, and the movie had been out for a while,
and it was being shown as part of a double feature.
So they had the new movie up and then they
had the exercise as a throw in because it had
already been out for a couple of years. One of
those things I remember Long Beach, California. I was like four.
I watched the movie not on our screen, but I
could see the movie on the drive in across from us,

(01:35:52):
and I was mesmerized and terrified watching it through my blankie.
But it was incredible, and I fell in love with
horror on that day. This movie is so incredible for
the way it was shot, for the way it was done,
how it tied everything in. Based on a book done
by William Peter Blattie. It was directed by William Friedkin

(01:36:14):
and it was inspired by a real exorcism involving a
fourteen year old boy known as Ronald Doe. And a
lot of people have no idea that this movie was
actually inspired by a real case. The original source of
this comes from a Maryland case. Roland Doe is his name.
It's real name, I think is Robbie Mannheim. His story
began when his I think it was his aunt or

(01:36:35):
his grandmother was visiting and they played with Auigi Bord.
She died, and then things got crazy. Stuff started happening
at the home. Furniture moved on its own, scratching, noises
echoed in the walls, objects levitated, and then he started
speaking Latin. He started growling, having violent outbursts. Local priests.
Eventually Jesuit priests called in to perform a multitude of

(01:36:57):
exorcisms over several weeks, first in Mayor and later in
Saint Louis. Jesuit priest father William Bowderen led the main exorcism,
which reportedly lasted just over a month in a hospital
in Saint Louis. Words like evil in hell appeared on
his body. Mattresses would shake violently and levitate, and his
voice would change. Eventually, the demons were pushed out and exercised.

(01:37:23):
Peter Bladdie, who wrote The Exorcists, read the story in
the Washington Post in nineteen forty nine and it stayed
with him for a very long time. Eventually, when he
wrote the book, he got hold of the real notes
of the priest who performed the exorcist, and on top
of that, he spoke to the other priest who assisted

(01:37:43):
him in this. He said, while he swapped out the
boy for what would be Linda Blair's part, everything else
outside of this spinning head and a few other things
was pretty much what happened, according to the notes Peter
Bladdie had read, as well as the eyewitness accounts, and
he said that, you know, they over dramatized some of

(01:38:05):
the stuff, the spinning head and the projectile vomiting everywhere,
but a lot of it was exactly as the priest
had witnessed and what was written down in the notes.
By the way, the young Ronald Do went on to
have a normal life, didn't really remember much of what
took place, and has since had a family of his own.
Passed away a few years ago, but that actual exorcism

(01:38:27):
led to the story that became The Exorcist and a
movie that changed Hollywood, and it changed Hollywood in a
major way. Horror movies were bankable, but they weren't cinema.
They weren't Academy Award winners. This was nominated for ten
Academy Awards, one two Best Adapted Screenplay, and Best Sound.

(01:38:48):
Not only did it do that, it turned a young
girl into a megastar in Linda Blair, and it was
box office bank grossing four hundred million dollars. Adjusted for inflation,
that would be two billion dollars today. But the movie
came with controversy. Churches labeled it the work of the devil,
heavily edited and banned in some countries. Scared the but

(01:39:09):
Jesus out of a lot of people. This is a
report from nineteen seventy three, the opening week of the film,
as people were coming out in the middle of the
film after they had passed out or just couldn't handle
it anymore.

Speaker 19 (01:39:22):
It just scared me to death. Things just like it
just scared really scare me to death. I'm as nervous.

Speaker 33 (01:39:28):
I fainted like ten minutes after the first beginning of
the movie and I walked out and they gave me
some water.

Speaker 19 (01:39:35):
I passed out. I think it's disgusting.

Speaker 31 (01:39:38):
What it's just, It's just it doesn't scare, you know,
it doesn't make them want to get sick, like Erddy says.
It just my legs are just going and I want
to go in the lobby and not watch it, and
I have to cover my ears.

Speaker 2 (01:39:50):
Yeah, it was massive, and that kind of stuff caused
it to grow even more where people want to go
test themselves to see if they could get through the movie. Now,
the voice that you hear in the battle between Max
Ben Sadau and Jason Miller the Priest is Mercedes McCambridge.

(01:40:10):
She won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress and
All the King's Men. She was nominated for the same
category for the movie Giant, and Orson Wells called her
the greatest living radio actress ever. She was an alcoholic
and they needed her voice to be crazy, So whiskey

(01:40:31):
was back on the table for her and some other things.

Speaker 25 (01:40:34):
If it's this close in me right here, I'm only
a go and be it's that close, and everybody, everybody
came from the second forward, A.

Speaker 24 (01:40:47):
Hi, that isn't.

Speaker 2 (01:40:50):
Hard, just creepy. You can hear it there. So she
was the demon and the voice you heard, But who
played the actress that became the star was Linda Blair
and Linda Blair was only fourteen, and everybody was worried about, well,
all the stuff that accompanied this big of a role
and the maturity of the stuff that they were going

(01:41:11):
to be doing in this.

Speaker 34 (01:41:14):
Each time we came to a different part of the
demonic possession, it got harder and harder. It wasn't so
bad prior to the heavy makeup, but each time the
demon did something, it was difficult.

Speaker 4 (01:41:27):
The st here with this cash would you likely the message?

Speaker 2 (01:41:32):
Again? She was fourteen at the time. The backlash she
got included the fact that she her friends disappeared. She
didn't have friends anymore. She said it was tough time
making friends because parents who had seen the movie wanted
nothing to do with her, thinking she was possessed. They
had to get bodyguards for her. The studio did it
was It was a tough time for her, but in

(01:41:53):
interviews over the years, she's talked about growing up in
the spotlight, being famous, but also having to deal with
this situation with the Exorcist, how tough it was, but
she recognizes what it also brought her and appreciates it. Now,
if you're going to have a demon, you need somebody
to fight the demon. They brought in amazing actor Max

(01:42:13):
men side Out, which gave us that amazing moment when
they focus in on him after the cab drives away
and the lights on him and the fog, and it
was just amazing. Here's the interesting thing. Max was only
like forty eight years old when he shot the film.
They tried to make him look like he was one hundred.

Speaker 8 (01:42:32):
It was my first confrontation with playing a Catholic priest,
which was new to me and very interesting though. And
also I was supposed to be so much sholder than myself.
I had to wear so much makeup that when I
thought I made a reaction facial reaction, it didn't show.
I had to fight so many technical, special effect and

(01:42:55):
superficial things. The entire set during the exorcism was refrigerated,
which meant that when all the lights were set and
then when the devil really when got going.

Speaker 43 (01:43:08):
He.

Speaker 8 (01:43:10):
Cracked groups eilerts or ceilings and walls and things which
had to be. Then we had to adjust to the
dear Devil and his workings, which was kind of complicated.

Speaker 2 (01:43:23):
The film set itself was supposedly cursed. Fire destroyed parts
of the set except for Reagan's bedroom. Several cast and
crew deaths occurred as well before and right after the
filming of the movie. But when it comes to scary
movies and the impact that movies can have, there is
nothing close to what The Exorcist is. Battle of good

(01:43:44):
and evil, religion, scares theater of the mind. It is
an incredible movie, not just because, as I tell you
guys how much I love horror movies, just for itself
as a movie. It is more than just standalone. You're
number one in your scary movie countdown The Exorcist three two, three, five, three, eight,

That's?

Speaker 2 (01:49:00):
For? Damn sure, weekend's going to be interesting. It starts
to get serious now when it comes to the shutdown,
because as of tomorrow, Snap nothing checks are already being missed.
We understand that, and of course people are going to
start to get that opportunity to take a look at
that new healthcare bill they're going to be getting. Potentially
if they sign up for it, and that is going

(01:49:21):
to be ugly as well. So next week I think
it's starting to get serious, serious, and we'll see. I
think there'll be more movement next week, but they have
the last opportunity to sell themselves to the people on
the Sunday shows and then from there we'll take a
look at the polls and see what happens. I do
you guys have a save Halloween weekend. We'll do it
