Hey, hey, hey, time to put your middle to the test now.

Bap, b'am, bada.

Hey, hey, don't you know you're messing with the best now?

Ah, huh, dark times.

I thought I just opened with a bit of a giggle.

Why are you in such a great mood, Jim?

You seem, it, a bullion.

Oh, no, no, no, no.

I wish the earth and everything on it would erupt in a great conflagration that would

finally fix everything by destroying everything.

But I just thought that the listeners might appreciate. A show that wasn't, you know, quite too downbeat and not disgusting either. We're going to keep it clean. I found it a little bit spooky at the start. I wasn't sure if you were like, oh, someone's over, we've hit September. It's Halloween now. I didn't have it known if you're one of those types. Oh, oh, heavens no. Heavens no.

No, you're not, you're not, it's September 1st Halloween has begun. No, that's, that's absurd and

and very American. Um, and I'm not that American. Give it time. But, but Halloween is,

Halloween is my favorite holiday, but I, I observe holidays on the day that they exist, you know.

I mean, once it turns October, don't get me wrong, I'll be walking into every

Walgreens in the country, squeezing all the pumpkin stress balls, and waving my hand in front

of motion sensors so a plastic, some sort of plastic ego can go, pleasant screams.

Oh, oh, you spooked me.

Or get one of them little round balls where they put a cloth over it and then just put a really cheap, you know, three dots on it to be a ghost.

And it lights up in tide and it hangs on a string and it goes,

ooh,

the one house that I've always really respected its Halloween decor
