The weather. Tomorrow, expect a biting cold front. Hmm, how naughty. I wonder what I'll be

wearing or taking off. The night will be wild and untamed. Expect heavy, lashing rain

that'll soak you to the skin. By Monday, temperatures will rise slowly but surely reaching

their peak in the afternoon.

Sun Express, non-stop sunshine. Hello everyone and welcome to Talk Nerdy.

Today is Monday, October 27th, 2025, and I'm the host of the show, Dr. Kara, Santa Maria.

And so really, I rely on the support of you just to be able to keep making

this show every single week. If you're interested in pledging your support on an episodic basis,
