0:03 Caloroka Shock Media. Hello, I'm Johnny Man with five good news Halloween stories. This is just fun to do. Mix it up a little bit. Instact Arts looked at your shopping data from twenty twenty four and they have determined the most popular Halloween candy in the United States of America. Do you have a guest? Do you want me to tell you whether they or not? Peanut M and M's that was second, regular, Eminem's finished third. Now I personally love pean at M and Ms. Every time I walk through the kitchen, I grab a handful, which is why I have a giant belly. But I digress. The number one candy is Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, and if you hand me those, they're gone in one second. So I agree with instacart. Here, a trends analyst at instacart said, we're seeing households start to shop weeks ahead, not just to be prepared, but because Halloween has become an experience people stretch out and savor. I mean some people are even doing ridiculous podcasts weeks in advance. They tell us whether it's nostalgia classics like Raeses, or polarizing favorites like candy corn. These streets are part of the traditions that make Halloween feel special. Halloween spending is expected to reach a record thirteen point one billion dollars this year, and one Vermont library is helping families keep the holiday fun without breaking the bank.

Because I hang out at this brewery and they have a costume contest every year, and I

1:34 wind up spending money on this thing I wear for ninety minutes while drinking two beers. Why do I do it? I don't know. The library director in Richmond said the costume swap is a great way to get in the Halloween spirit, save some money, and make good use of our resources as a community. Halloween costumes are something you only wear once and by next year might not even fit your kid, It might not fit you as an adult. Yes, they were grabbing a handful of peanut m and ms every time you walk through the kitchen. I could see where that would happen. The Naples Zoo at Caribbean Guardians is bringing back Boo at the Zoo for another year. No, just the name Boo at the Zoo. I'm in This sounds amazing. The zoo is magically transformed to a living movie scene, complete with costume characters and trick or treating for kids twelve and under. What about people fifty five plus?

2:18 Can we do it? No? Oh? Okay, laugh in the face of dangers. You meet a dinosaur sail away with pirates on the Pirate Expedition cruise and meet mini unicorns. Hmmm, I wonder what those look like. That sounds fun. It's this weekend. You better go October tenth through the twelfth, then again October seventeenth through the nineteenth, nine am to one pm. The zoo asks if you come in costume, make sure your costume is family friendly and definitely not inflatable. Inflatable ones could scare the animals. I'm assuming that's if an inflatable one were to pop. We don't want to startle the gorillas. I don't know if they have gorillas. Can I interest you in a lego Halloween wreath? It's only six hundred and seventeen pieces. You'll put it together. In ten minutes. The Lego box comes with five different packages of pieces, along with an instruction booklet. Well that's good.

I guess it is, And it's made out of lego? And this was so much fun last time I thought a double dip on the knockoff Halloween costumes. Let's see what I have for you today. Here's one.

Do you sometimes play the one with it actually has turtles, It's got a couple plumbers in it. Two brothers. One's red, one's kind of green. Well this is not that at all.

And you remember that famous movie with Gene he was selling chocolate. There were some people that worked for Gene Wilder in the movie. They even sang a song This is not that at all. This is factory worker girl. You gave yourself some orange skin a kind of I don't know, is it a shag haircut, and you sing your song with your fellow factory worker girl. Why did you start laughing, John? Because I accidentally scrolled down and I'm not going to get to it today, but the next one is creepy husband. That's what made me laugh. Okay, so back to the bit.
