Good morning. It is Tuesday, October 18th and trending this hour Taco Bell. They brought back their vintage classic item and charito for a limited time. Fans voted on which discontinued menu item. They wanted back with the choice between the double-decker taco and the Encherito and the Encherito one.

Also trending Halloween candy prices. They're skyrocketing. The average household says it plans on spending between 30 and $35 on Halloween candy.

That's $2.01 more than last year. And Sam's Club selling a 450 piece variety pack of Mars candy for $26.98 and that is an increase of $2.50.

And Halloween candy increasing by 13% year over year. And finally trending a Christmas story. Or should I say a Christmas story?

Christmas HBO Max has debuted the first teaser video for the upcoming release of a Christmas story Christmas. Of course, this is the latest sequel to the beloved 1983 film set in Hammond, Indiana.

No one should watch this. No one period, right? I'm right now. I'm putting my foot down. No one should watch this because of a ruin the original. Well, they're just milking. They're milking a great movie and certain movies should just stand alone.

Like I've thought this for years about Rocky. The first Rocky was perfect. It ends just classic. He knows he beat him. Apollo Creed knows he beat him. Everybody in the building knows he beat him.

They're not going to make the sun known guy the champ. So it ends perfectly ain't going to be no rematch. Don't want one. And then they just ruined it for money and nothing else. No one should watch this. Teach these people a lesson. Do not view this movie.

Okay. Well, if features a grown up Ralphie played once more by Peter Billingsley, a Christmas story Christmas will release through HBO Max on November 17th.

You know, Hollywood, whatever you want to call it is because I realize not everything's made in Hollywood anymore, but we'll call it that for a lack of better

wordage has almost no new ideas left. And so everything is just a repeat, a recycle, a redo, a remake.

You have just totally uncreative people who can't come up with anything good so that it just exploits stuff in order to try to extract money from gullible people.

Don't be that person. Oh, Fudge. Do you watch it every year? Do you put it on the channel? I think what is the TBS that airs it? No, I'm nonstop.

I got in past that because I lived that case. I told you when I met Bruce Springsteen, that's exactly how it went down. I was Ralphie and he was Santa Claus.

We're ended up clinging to the guy's leg and he kicked me down a slide. So when you've lived it, there's really no reason to see it anymore.

I love that movie. It's a good one. I might peek at it. I'm sorry, Rob, but I might have to know where Ralphie's up to. I have to.

Okay, Casey. That was 40 years ago, right? Was it 1980? Yeah, 83.

Okay, Ralphie would be like 51 years old now. Well, I guess the movie set in the 50s so they would have to set it, I guess, in the 80s.

But the, but the kid, the kid who, because it's the same kid. Ralphie. So he would be, I don't know whatever he was 12. Let's say if he was 12, he would be

40, 50, four years old now. Why would you want to see that? You know who's producing this movie? Vince Vaughn. Of course.

It's nine minutes after 10. He's Rob Kendall. My name is Casey Daniels. We're glad you're here this morning.

And it's time to queue up cool in the gang celebration after 54 years at the National Institute of Health and 38 years as the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.
