Shut up, chat up.

Shut up.

Hey, we're recording the podcast.

Shut up.

Good morning to you, wherever you are, because it is right somewhere.

For October 8th, 2024, it's the ninth.

It is Bernie Burns.

Sitting right over there, she knew it was the ninth all along. Ashley Burns, say hi to Ashley everybody. We are mere weeks away from Halloween. I count the days. Are you counting the days to Halloween? Look at you. Sort of, I am. You summer child. No, I am. But I'm doing it in sort of the opposite direction of, oh, shit, oh, shit. I only have this many days to get kids costumes. Really? Oh, yeah. I'm going to admit, sorry, kids. I'm looking straight past Halloween to the beginning of November, which we are also less than a month away from now. What happens in November? What could possibly happen in November? Nothing. It'll be just an average Tuesday in November.

We'll see.

But it's all one way or another.

It's going to all be over.

It will all be over for everyone.

Take your fleeting joy in Halloween while you can.

That's what I'm getting from this.

For half the country, it'll all be over.

For the other half, it's just beginning. I mean, it's ominous, man. It's getting ominous. We'll see. We'll see. Anyway, what's going on in the world today, Ashley? How are you doing? I'm doing pretty well, doing pretty well. I've been a little bit preoccupied, definitely keeping an eye on this

monster hurricane that's bearing down on Tampa. Milton. They got to stop naming hurricanes after

people. I don't think that's a good thing to do. Look, I think that we've, I agree with you. I think

that we've, we've come a long way. I'm grateful that they're no longer named exclusively after

women because, come on.

Was that a thing? Yeah, they used to be, I think, all female names. I like that. That makes more

sense. Yeah. Watch out if you don't want Hurricane Ashley Barrington on you. Okay?
