Hello and good morning. Welcome everybody. We are halfway through the week. Last night was the Vice Presidential Debate. Oh my gosh, I was excited for it. Of course I've been excited for weeks for this debate and I was not let down. Let me tell you I was a little surprised.
Speaker 1:I think Tim I'm going to be honest here Tim Walz did better than I thought he was going to do. That says a lot. Okay, I thought he was going to be get up there and just be a babbling buffoon and there were certain times he did do that, like with the China answer when the even the moderators tried to set him up with a lobby or a volley there and he just totally hosed it up. But he's also friends with school shooters hmm, who, what, and there was a whole bunch of other things. But let's go over here real quick and I'll read a couple of just going through tweets.
Speaker 1:I did a jd vance search just now on x and I'm just going to read a couple headlines from loves of tiktok. Jd vance correctly calls out tim walsh for his anti-free speech comments. There's no guarantee to free speech. Tim Walz Grant from Graham Allen. Jd Vance is not messing around If Kamala Harris has such great plans on how to address middle class problems, then she ought to do them now, not when she's asking for a promotion. Amen, let's see.
Speaker 1:From Matt Wallace, j wallace, jd vance full closing statement. Every american needs to see this before voting. From charlie kirk jd vance just won big and it wasn't even close and he gives a tribute. And everybody is posting those images of when jd vance kept looking, glancing up at the time clock. That's what he was doing. When you see these images of him looking at the, you think he's looking at the camera, but he's actually looking up at the time clock to see how much time Bozo, over there next to him, has left to talk. From George. It just simply says George Breaking.
Speaker 1:Cbs moderators just tried to get a gotcha by bringing up JD Vance's past comments on Trump and he nailed it. I was wrong, first of all because I believed some of the media stories that turned out to be dishonest fabrications of his record. Yep mm-hmm. More from Libs of TikTok. From Colin Rugg media reactions after JD Vance versus Tim Walls debate. Geraldo Rivera JD Vance won the debate. Nbc. Does Tim Walls have a problem with the truth? From Chris Cuomo JD Vance fact-checked the moderators and he was right. The moderator fact check the moderators and he was right. Cnn's John King Vance carried the important issues and more.
Speaker 1:We are going to hear all about it. Hopefully we're going to hear all about it today. But there are a whole bunch of other things happening in the news as well. I think Israel is going to hit back today, as they should, and there were some other things the hurricane, of course. So there's like three big major news things going on that we're going to hear about, hopefully we're going to hear about, hopefully we will hear about the uh debate too. It might be put on the back burner, though, with this other stuff happening, but let's go to my podcast topics which have nothing to do with politics or the front page news. I tried to veer off a little bit, because you are going to hear a lot of that today on the big channels, all right?
Speaker 1:So beloved Ohio man surprised with celebrations at nearly every house on his last route before retirement. This is like a feel-good story. Hopefully it will make you feel good From the New York Post. A beloved Ohio mailman was showered with appreciation and celebrations at nearly every home along his mail route on his last day before retirement. A heartwarming video filmed by one of his daughters shows neighbors greeting the local postal worker, bill Buda, with balloons, lawn signs, posters, cards and lots of cheers and hugs. Buda, who first worked in corporate America, was a carrier for the United States Post Office for 31 years and was assigned to the same 12.2-mile route for 24 and a half of those years. Wow, wow, he said he watched families on the block introduce newborn babies and then watch those babies grow up and graduate from high school and college. In an interview with good morning america.
Speaker 1:You can go finish reading that. It's, uh, fairly long and extensive. I I think it's a good read. You should go read it for a timeline cleanse, if you will all right. The next topic this risky romantic behavior could put you in serious danger. Experts warn red flags. Now I know most of my listeners here are already established and married, but you know you may want to help this out for your children. I don't know. Here we go. Are you lucky in love or just an emophiliac?
Speaker 1:Emophilia is defined as the tendency to fall in love fast and easily. The term coined by psychologist Dr Daniel Jones thank you for having a regular name that I can pronounce describes those who want to be in love, driven by the excitement of making connections and the whirlwind of emotions that come with it. Emophiliacs feel they need someone, often due to loneliness or anxiety, and they'll rush right into a relationship just to have that desire sated. These are the kind of people I think that usually write into Dear Abby. Those lovebirds seek the rush of her romantic emotions, immediate romantic connections and the rapid development of romantic love. I don't know that there is a lot of that anymore going on. I think, back in the day perhaps, maybe, and it's mainly with young, very, very young people, you know, late teens, early 20s, probably. So let's read on.
Speaker 1:Like other personality traits, hemophilia is ranked on a scale referred to as the emotional promiscuity scale. Ooh, wow, there's an official. There's an official thing out there. Emotional promiscuity scale Wow, I didn't know there was an official thing out there. Emotional promiscuity scale wow, I didn't know there was such a thing. Most people fall in the middle, but some romantics fall hard immediately or with little information about someone. This is okay. While emophilia isn't a medical issue, it can lead to risky behaviors and pose a threat to people's health, as those fueled by a love potion. Yes, I've known people like this. Maybe I was one of them at one time before I sobered up and matured again. I think this relates to young people that don't have a lot of life experience. So I'm gonna stop there. If you would like to read further of that, you can all.
Speaker 1:Right now I guess we're going to get back to the debate because I have another. I posted another thing on here from the New York Post. Did it like a recap? Tim Walls, staggered by cool JD Vance, admits I'm a knucklehead during genial VP debate. Let's see. Let's see how the New York Post recaps the debate real quick, and then we're going to move on to some interesting questions of the day. Thanks to giblets. I love it all right. All right, here we go.
Speaker 1:Minnesota democratic governor tim walsh stunned watchers of tuesday night's vice presidential debate as he nervously fidgeted, frowned and even called himself a knucklehead, while his Republican counterpart, senator JD Vance of Ohio, gave a steady and lawyerly presentation and was widely seen as the victor. Not only did he give a lawyerly presentation, but he did so where even I could understand it, where the regular person could understand what is happening. He didn't. He didn't talk above the talk above the people, if you know what I'm talking about the largely good-natured forum hosted by CBS News. I don't know. Good-natured forum okay, maybe between the two candidates, certainly not between the moderators, because they said they weren't going to fact check. They had all these rules and they broke them all. I loved it, though, when JD Vance called out the moderator. He didn't let it go. Good for him. The largely good-natured forum hosted by CBS News featured the two candidates agreeing with each other repeatedly and expressing warm personal sentiments, avoiding the blistering personal attacks that were part of both presidential debates earlier this year". That is true, and I'm glad for that. Thank you for not calling out all the silliness they did, kind of you know.
Speaker 1:The one thing that was a revelation, though, during all this, was that apparently Tim Walz's son witnessed a school shooting. That's what he said last night on stage. Now we're not allowed to question anything about Tim Walz's son, but we can question Tim Walz, because he's the one that said it. A lot of people are saying this is not true. I don't know if it's true or not. I think if it were true, we would have heard about this a long, long, long, long time ago. That's all I'm saying about that, and I'll stop there, because we do need to get on to the question of the day. I have a couple and they're really good.
Speaker 1:Giblet sent me a message saying he had a. He had a spin on the question of the day and it's uh, let me go over here and read what he said exactly so I do not get it wrong. All right, he says I have an idea for a spin on the question of the day. He says ask the question of the day, but with wrong answers only. I love this idea and I have of them. I can't pick one of them because I think they're both good, so you can either answer both of them or you can just pick one. Okay, so in 2020, the Washington Redskins the team responded to the economic pressure of the wake of the George Floyd protest by retiring the name and logo of the Washington Redskins. What did they change their name? To? Wrong answers only. That's one question. The other question is this I think is cute In 1984, three little old ladies walked into a fast food chain restaurant and demanded where's the?
Speaker 1:What did they demand? What did they demand? Where is the? You know what I'm talking about? All right, what did they demand? All right, here we wrong answers only. All right, and that's pretty much all I've got for today, and I hope you have a great um hope you have a great day and I will be back again tomorrow.
