From the principal Toyota studios, it's morning in Memphis with Todd Starnes.
All right, hello everybody. Good morning, happy Friday to you, and welcome to the show. Great to have all of you along with us for the ride today. All right, there's we we have a lot we have a lot going on in the show today. But can we just can we all agree this is just a weird weird time in in politics in the mid south?
I have folks, we're gonna have to talk about some issues. Issues today, and issues, and quite frankly, things I never thought we would have to talk about as a as a radio station, and as you know, again, I don't want to offend the sensibilities of our great, great audience here in the mid south, but we we've got a lot of buck naked politicians running around out there, and it's it's not pretty. It's and we've got to talk about this, so we we know all about. State Senator Brent Taylor and the sexting scandal. At least from what we understand, we we we've been told.
Well, actually, we haven't been told. We had Senator Taylor on the show, and the senator would not answer the question about whether there were any other issues in his in his texting life.
So we we don't know, but we've been assured that this is it. That there Are no more skeletons in the closet, and now comes word that Dr. Marie Vagans has been running around buck naked in front of staffers, and she is the focus of a bazillion dollar lawsuit. And we're going to get to all of that in just a little while. And then yesterday, while Dr.
Vagans and Senator Taylor were you know frolicking around in their birthday suits, we've got Justin Pearson's mother who has. Been accused of smacking around a a poll worker at Mississippi Boulevard Church, and all of this happening according to a police report that KWM obtained exclusively yesterday afternoon. We posted it on our page, and I am I am just going to say this: we we don't know if charges have been filed. First of all. Also, we can tell you that at least one TV station in the market, Fox Thirteen, was given the story.
And they turned it down. Fox Thirteen determined that Justin Pearson's mother smacking around a poll worker did not rise to the level of news coverage for them.
So I, it's it's it's very disappointing how far Fox Fox Thirteen has fallen. But there you go. Fox Thirteen said, "No, this is not a big story for us." Now, if it had been if it had been somebody else, like I don't know, John Gillespie's mother out there smacking somebody around, oh, it'd be wall to wall news coverage. But when it comes to Justin Pearson, he is he is a he has protected status when it comes to the Memphis media. They turn a blind eye to every foul thing that comes out of that guy's mouth.
No, I'm. It's absolutely true.
So anyway, we don't know if charges are going to be filed on that, but we're going to keep you updated on on that story, and we'll keep you updated on the others as well. I will also say this, ladies and gentlemen. Good congratulations. You guys did an amazing job. We're still waiting for the final totals on early voting.
Early voting ended yesterday in Shelby County. And across Tennessee, and it's been a phenomenal, phenomenal early voting season. And I'm very curious to hear from you this morning. What exactly was it that compelled you to go and vote? Was there one particular issue?
And and we want to. I want to hear from Republicans and Democrats this morning. But was there one particular issue that compelled you to get out and vote? And I will say this. And I was talking to some folks.
Over at the Shelby County Elections Commission, they are anticipating a very large turnout on election day as well.
So there is something going on, not just here in Tennessee, not just in Shelby County, but really all across the nation. And I'm wondering if we are watching a blue tsunami, are we watching a red tsunami, or is it a little bit of both?
Now I want you to write down our telephone number. Give us a call nine zero one two six zero five nine two six. That's nine zero one two six zero five nine two six.
So we're going to be talking about all three of those stories a little bit later on. We can also tell you that according to sources that have been speaking to KWM. That the Pearson campaign was not involved in the leaking of these text messages that Senator Brent Taylor, you know that that Senator Brent Taylor wrote between the himself and a a woman, and that that the Pearson campaign had nothing to do with this. That it appears to be a case of Republican on Republican violence.
Now it may be that there were some prior Primary opponents that may have been involved in this in some capacity, or at least supporters of those primary opponents who were involved in in all of this. And I think, quite frankly, if you're if you're a member of a political party and you've got your own membership attacking a duly elected nominee, that's a problem, and that's got to get figured. That's got to get figured out. That's got to get sorted out. Also, Justin.
Pearson is out there alleging that Brent Taylor sexually assaulted someone, and I think this is a very important thing. I mean, this is an ugly thing, folks. It's dirty, it's nasty, it's disgusting. But the reality is, you t here is also facts, and you've got to go by the facts. and The senator is not accused of sexually assaulting anybody at all.
As a matter of fact, from all indications, this was an entirely consensual relationship. It was an affair. The campaign tells us it was not a few years ago. It was about eight to ten years ago that all of this happened. Doesn't change.
It doesn't change any. It doesn't change anything other than the timeline. But it's important if you're going to do a story like this to make sure that you have all the facts.
Now, my question is: Did this? Impact any of your any of your votes. We have gotten messages on the K Wham page.
Some people are taking down their Brent Taylor signs. Look, a lot of folks early voted, so your votes have already. You know your votes have been secured. You can't change those votes. But if you did early vote, would you?
I mean, do you wish you could go back and change your mind and change your vote? Seems to me. That this is one of those cases where I think a lot of folks are going to have to hold their nose and vote on election day, and that is, that's just the reality of it, folks.
So we'll be taking your calls on that nine zero one two six zero five nine two six. It's also Helen. It is also Halloween week. I just it just sort of like came up out of nowhere because I think there's been so much focus on this horror show called the midterm elections that we really haven't. Been paying attention to the haunted houses.
They're keeping a spooky season real in the political world too, Todd.
So I am curious, Helen. This is—is this your first Halloween or second Halloween in in the mid South? I moved in on Halloween last year, so all I did was unpack, which was kind of scary.
So we need to help Helen because you've got your—you're getting married very soon, and your maid of honor is in town, and we need to make sure we've got to figure out some great places, some scary places. Places to send you, Helen. Yes, you definitely do. Aside from the radio station.
So, anyway, if you have a suggestion for Helen and her maid of honor, as they are here in Memphis spinning Halloween in the mid South for the very first time, give us a call. Our telephone number nine zero one two six zero five nine two six. That's nine zero one two six zero five nine two six.

All right, you know, I feel like we need to give away a copy of my brand new book, The Golden Age, and I also want to thank the Reagan Presidential Center in Simi Valley, California, had a wonderful, wonderful one-hour conversation about my new book, and it is really generating a firestorm—a very happy firestorm across the nation.
So we're excited about that.
So today. Today is National Something Day, and it does have to do with the specific Halloween treat. And we're going to be giving away a copy, a signed copy of my new book. But here's what you need to do: you've got to tell us what today is. It is a national day.
And it's connected to Halloween, and this particular candy that we're celebrating today was actually created back in the 1880s, and it was originally known as chicken feed.
So, if you know what the name of the candy is we're celebrating, you're going to win a signed copy of my brand new book, thirty dollar value, by the way.

That's nine zero one two six zero five nine two six.
You know, Helen. I think really before we we go any further, my my heart has been has been heavy over the past days, and I think at times like this, you know, we. I think Memphis is a pretty religious community. I think so, and and I think maybe we should. I just take a moment, and we've got we're going to get to the phones here.
We've got Coy that wants to weigh in on all the political chaos out there. But I think we should maybe. I don't know. Is it inappropriate to pray on air for for the city? I think I think I think it's appropriate.
I hear organ music. Is that my cue? All right, I. All right.
Well, let's just—if you're driving, don't close your eyes. We already have enough accidents today on I-240. Dear Lord and sweet baby Jesus, we beseech you in our hour of need. Our hearts are heavy, our insides are curdled at the news of the sexting scandal involving State Senator Brent. Taylor sharing photos of his nether regions, allegedly with a woman not his wife.
We come to you on bended knee from all denominations: AT and T, Verizon, T Mobile, and yes, even Patriot Mobile. Promo code: Stearns. And we ask for a miracle, Lord, a mighty miracle. Please, please, please don't let anybody leak the photos from Senator Taylor's phone. We can't take it.
We've been through so much as a city. We just can't take it. Please spare us the visions of any ding dongs or willies or tallywhackers.
Some things are just left better to the imagination, and Lord, we don't need to be casting our eyes upon Marie Figgins, but donkey, donk, or her bare naked boobies. Lord, we pray that whoever the next superintendent of our great school system might be, where the children can't read or write, we pray that the next superintendent. Might keep their cleavage fully covered. We pray in the name of Matiah. Hallelujah.
Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Amen. Amen, Father Todd.
I just, I feel, I feel moved. I as well. That was very powerful. That could have been the Taco Bell from last night, but I feel—I don't know—I feel better now. I let's go to the phones.
Coy in Memphis wants to weigh in on the political chaos out there. Coy, am I wrong here? I don't think we just have to pray that the photos are never ever leaked. Great day, y'all. God is not the author of confusion.
The devil is a great deceiver. The father lies, and right before the devil's favorite date, that's tomorrow. Hey, I still will put Brent over Justin any day. I said that a few days ago when you was on your little trip. I said that when you was on vacation doing your thing.
I said that. I said it. I'll put Brent Taylor over Justin any day. You know, it's Coy. I just you know going back to Justin Pearson for just a moment, and you know the guy is all performative.
I mean, this is all like a joke to him. And when you actually look at, has he actually done anything for his constituents? And that to me is the that's going to be the most important thing that a congressman does is making sure that they take care of the constituents back home. I don't think he's. I don't think if he's elected, he's going to do that.
No, sir, he's not. He's showing God showing you what people tell on themselves. Also, before I forget, Second Chronicles seven fourteen. That's what the city of Memphis needs. Second Chronicles seven fourteen and John fourteen fifteen.
He's not Justin. At first, when I first saw Justin, I thought he was all right. Then when that little pipeline situation happened, and then the data center popped up, I was like, Oh my goodness, he playing checkers on the chessboard. And ever since then, it's been chaos. God is not the author of confusion.
He, I think I talked to you last time about when he called Jesus gay. Come on. Come on, yeah. Said a gay a gay black woman, and then he prayed to Mother God, and he's actually done that multiple times. When he prays, he prays not in the name of Almighty God, but he prays in the name of Mother God.
I will say this: you remember what happened to that priest when that cross fell on him? Justin, better be careful, because God is not to be mocked. You can't you can't make mock real God. You got to be very careful. Yeah, no, Coy.
I think you're absolutely right about that. And and look, setting aside what Senator Taylor admitted to doing, he has done an amazing job as a lawmaker for delivering for the the good people of Memphis. And he has he has been really focused on making Memphis safe again, and making sure that we get the economy back up in in the right right. Direction so between the two, you know, it it was a pretty easy choice for me to make. And honestly, if I had not already voted, he would still be getting my vote.
Yes, sir. You're right about that. It's just like when I told people a couple of years ago, y'all didn't pick Harrington over Paul Young. See, they it's they don't know what they're doing. No, it's.
You're right about that, Coy. And and take a look at downtown. They're trying to tell us now that downtown is thriving. I mean, one of the largest law firms in downtown just announced they're moving to East Memphis. For crying out loud!
Yeah, people, people. What they're saying? Don't, don't. What is about there? Don't I won't want to say that, but don't tell me one thing.
This on though, don't don't tell me one thing. Don't pee all my shoes and tell me it's right. We've already we've already been put on everybody's church prayer list after that last segment there, Coy. I got to run, Coy. But thank you for calling in, and thank you so much for listening to KWM.
Greatly appreciate that. When it comes to Justin Pearson and his mother, may I just say. The apple did not fall far from that tree. Unbelievable!
So we're going to be taking your calls on that. Does just does does Brent Taylor still get your vote? Nine zero one two six zero five nine two six. And how do you feel about election day? You know, another big race: Charlie Hatcher and Chaz Molder.
And depending on how things are going here, we could have an all Republican delegation, or we could actually have two Democrats elected to Congress.
So it really depends on getting out the. Vote and as again as Coy said, take a look at the candidates. Have they have they delivered on constituent services? That to me is the biggest question. And if they have, then maybe that person needs to get your vote.
Our telephone number nine zero one two six zero five nine two six. We're going to be taking your calls. Also, trivia question on the table. It is national. National Candy Something Day.
This is a very popular Halloween treat, originally called chicken feed, back in the 1880s. It is made with confectionery sugar and buttercream, and those are your only those are your only other clues. Give us a call if you know the answer: nine zero one two six zero five nine two six.

All right, welcome back to everybody. Great to have you with us. I'm Todd Starnes here on the Mighty 990. By the way, the Justice Department announcing they will be sending federal election monitors. To Shelby County on election day, Shelby one of three Tennessee jurisdictions that were selected for federal monitoring.
The Shelby County Elections Administrator Linda Phillips says they have received notification that those monitors will be in the area. She did not explain why.
So no word on why Shelby County was elected. You know our. Our elections are pretty secure here in Tennessee, and they do a very good job of that.
Meanwhile, the civil rights leaders are raising concerns about the possibility of election interference. Want to go to the phone lines here nine zero one two six zero five nine two six Dean in East Memphis wants to weigh in on Justin Pearson's mommy. Dean, good to have you with us today. This morning, Todd. That was a that was a great and probably just a little blasphemous prayer earlier, but hilarious, Dean.
I can tell you, I don't want to see those photos. I don't think anybody does, really. And the memes that are coming out, I you know, you got to laugh at them because they're hilarious. But anyway. Yeah, it sounds like the only election interference going on in Shelby County is Justin Pearson's mom shoving and pushing and and doing whatever, and so the fruit doesn't fall far from the tree.
And my question is, in the in the alleged altercation, I had I'm I'm learning to use alleged, and the alleged altercation, did she? Use the MF word against the poll watcher worker. Oh, that's a good question. And we're talking about Kimberly Pearson, and all of this happening at the Mississippi Boulevard Church polling station. And she literally slapped the the poll worker, and was causing a huge disturbance.
It's our understanding, Justin, or Dean, rather, that she's been banned from that polling place, so she is not allowed to go back on the premises.
So whatever it was, was pretty darn ugly. Yeah, sounds like it. Thanks, Todd. Have a good day, Dean. Thank you for calling in, and we appreciate you listening to KWM nine .oh one two six zero five nine two six Our telephone number that's nine .oh one two six zero five nine two six By the way, this segment of the program we're giving away another copy of my brand new book, The Golden Age.
And if you would like a copy, all you have to be is caller number three to nine .oh one two Six zero five nine two six. That's nine zero one two six zero five nine two six, and you will win a signed copy of my brand new book. In the meantime, we had a wonderful conversation with a guy by the name of Aaron Burns. There's a brand new movie coming out in the mid south called Jimmy, and it's about the life and times of Jimmy Stewart. KJ Appa is starring as Jimmy Stewart.
I was Privilege to get an advance screening of the film, and it is absolutely fantastic. You're going to love it. Here's a little bit of the conversation we had with the director and producer of the movie, Aaron Burns. Let's take a listen.
So this is going to be exciting. I mean, we're just really a few days away from the movie opening in theaters nationwide, and I'm wondering what people because I think a lot of folks truly they know Jimmy Stewart, but you guys really do a deep dive into his life. Was there one thing in particular that really stands out in Jimmy Stewart's life? Yeah, so if if you've ever seen the movie, it's a wonderful life, then you remember the actor Jimmy Stewart from it. But what I had no idea is that Jimmy's real life is much more interesting than any story he ever told, and he won an Oscar as a young man in Hollywood in 1941.
And then immediately chose to leave that behind and enlist in the U.S. Army Air Corps, and he spent the next three years flying combat missions above Germany. It was a wonderful patriot and and wonderful husband, wonderful father that came back home from his wartime service, broken by PTSD. And then made the movie "It's a Wonderful Life," which was the beginning of his healing from all of that.
So that's the story that this unfolds. And I had no idea, and I've been very inspired by his courage and his service and his faithfulness. You know, it goes back to a time in in Hollywood when there there was a great sense of patriotism, God and country, and it was not unusual to see movie stars putting down their their you know starring roles. In a movie to go and join the war effort. Yeah, it's it's fascinating.
A number number of other guys did. Frank Capra, the director of It's a Wonderful Life, he enlisted as well. But he served in the. The media division, and he made a series called "Why We Fight," which documented the the war crimes of the Germans and inspired Americans to enlist. But Jimmy actually refused to make the promotional films that they wanted him to do.
He said, "I don't want to be a pretend soldier. I've been an actor. I don't want to be pretend soldier. I want to go serve for real." And so he was actually on the front lines, leading thousands of troops and thousands of planes in combat over the skies of Germany, which. Just fascinating and very inspiring, heroic what he did.
You know, I had I did I thought I knew a lot about Jimmy Stewart, but I had no idea that he was an actual Air Force general. I mean he he was in there for for the long haul. Yeah, so when he came home, he re-enlisted in the Air Force Reserves and served for another twenty some years. He retired as a general and flew his last combat mission over Vietnam.
So, just an amazing example, I think, for for our country today. He looked at the the brokenness of the world around him. The '40s is a time much like ours, where there's a lot of stress, a lot of anxiety, a lot of wars, all of these things. And rather than complaining and finger pointing and fear mongering, he said, "Put me in. I want to serve, and I want to make a difference." the The movie is called Jimmy.
It's about the life of the great actor Jimmy Stewart and really great American patriot Jimmy Stewart. KJ Apa stars as Jimmy Stewart. Those of you who watched the Riverdale TV series will know that name. I have to. I have to imagine, Aaron.
It's it's going to be exciting to introduce Jimmy Stewart to a much younger. Audience of Americans. Yes, and I I love. I was talking to to Kelly. Jimmy's daughter is an executive producer on the film.
Has been on the whole journey with us, helping us find the right actor to play Jimmy, helping write the this, giving notes and feedback on the screenplay, coming to set with us, and and early conversation with Kelly. She asked, "Does you know Does anybody remember who my dad is anymore?" And I said, "Well, yes, of course. Millions and millions of Americans know and love your dad, and of course millions more." Love It's a Wonderful Life, but for the new generation of of the young people who are growing up now, my kid, I've got I've got five kids, and I am so excited that this new generation gets to engage with Jimmy. And I think as as we see a new generation of of people growing up to love and serve and live like Jimmy did, I think all Americans, no matter what. Flavor or color or political background—anything, America will be a better country if more of us live the way that Jimmy did.
Aaron Burns joining us on our Patriot Mobile Newsmaker line today. The movie coming out on November the sixth. Aaron, what was it like for you personally working on on this project?
Well, Jimmy's one of my heroes, and I'll say I I'm not a veteran. I I didn't. Have the privilege of doing that, but. Exploring what he did and what he went through made me much more grateful for the veterans who served our country. And it was one day of filming that was particularly meaningful.
We, the U.S. Army Air Force's band, the U.S. Air Force band, I should say, came over to set and put our 1940s uniforms on and played "I'll Be Home for Christmas" for us. And we were filming a Christmas party like they would have had on base in the 19. Forties and being there with those active duty soldiers and and hearing that song, I'll be home for Christmas if only in my dreams.
Just reflecting on the sacrifice and the beauty of of what these men and women have done and are doing for us was deeply moving for me. And I hope any veterans who who watch this movie feel seen and feel a thank you. And we actually had a pretty fun program. There's a group called VetTix, VetTix.org. That we've received millions of dollars in donations to VETTICS, that any active duty or veterans or first responders can go and get a free ticket to see the movie.
So I, I've personally grown in my patriotism, my gratitude, my love for our country through telling Jimmy's stories, and we hope that that'll inspire a new generation as well. All right, might need an umbrella this weekend for trick or treating out there.
So be sure to listen to Laura Huckabee; she'll keep you updated for your with your Halloween forecast right here, exclusively on the mighty 990 KWay, the only radio station in Memphis with a full time staff meteorologist. Zoo Boo continues through the weekend at the Memphis Zoo. Additional lights scheduled for. Saturday and Sunday, it's a family-friendly event. Lots of great things happening at the zoo, and also, if you're ready to to try something else, well, you've got to you've got to check out the Memphis Botanic Garden.
They are hosting the Memphis Japan Festival. That's on Sunday. The event runs from nine thirty in the morning until four o'clock in the afternoon. There's going to be all sorts of great fun, Japanese food, traditional Japanese entertainment, and lots of other stuff. If you haven't been down to the Botanic Garden, you got to get out there.
It's absolutely beautiful and a really fun time. Our telephone number nine zero one two six zero five nine two six. Let's go right to the phones and say hello to our good friend Kevin Snyder from Fayette County, Kevin. It is indeed a chaotic week in politics. That would be an understatement.
The good news is. The Republicans are turning out, but we need to do better. Our work isn't done yet. Fayette County, I know we set, I believe, a county record. I think as of last night, I couldn't even get in to vote.
The line was so long. We had 31.3 percent turnout through early voting. That is unreal, and we need to get the suburbs to do the same because these Democrats are not normal Democrats. These are lunatics running this year. Kevin, I I think we need to understand what's at stake, and and we talked about this yesterday on the national show.
We're going to talk about it again on the national show. Just what these Democrats intend to do. Not only are they planning to impeach pretty much all of the Trump administration, they're going they're going to go after President Trump, and there are some elected leaders on Capitol Hill that actually want to go after Trump supporters. We just we've got to send a message. That kind of behavior is just unacceptable in in a republic.
Yeah, I mean, you've got they want to basically open the borders back up. They want to defund the police. They want boys and girls sports. And as a parent, that's alarming. I mean, the list is just insane of what they want to do.
And Republicans, I don't think they have taken enough or paid enough attention to it. Of if you really don't get out and vote, this could happen because the Democrats. Are turning out, and we've got to. We need all hands on deck here. I mean, this is that serious, Kevin.
I'm curious what you're hearing from folks there in Fayette County. I know we're we're watching massive turnout here, long, long lines. We heard reports of up to an hour waiting in line to vote last night. What's this? What are you What are you hearing in Fayette County?
Fayette County's turning out. We're doing our part. I'm on the road heading up to Jackson, Tennessee today to work on getting voter turnout for Tuesday. And you know, Jackson has become a good turnout spot. But at the end of the day, we've got to match.
What the Democrats are doing in Shelby, they're having record turnout. Davidson's having record turnout, and we got to turn out everywhere. That means Germantown, Cuyahoga, Lakeland, Bartlett. We've got to match this, or we're going to lose. I mean, everybody needs to get on the phone, call your friends if you've already voted, take them to the polls.
I mean, we've got to turn out Tuesday, and we've got to turn out like we never ever have before, because literally, the future. Of our state is at stake, and the future of America is at stake if we let this socialist, for lack of a good term, crap come in. Yeah, look, I think I think you're onto something there, Kevin, and and that that really has to be the message. I know there are there's a lot of there's just a lot of confusion right now as far as okay, is this a blue tsunami, red tsunami? What's going on?
I know House Speaker Mike Johnson. Who's going to be coming on our show? I believe on Monday says that he predicts we're going to win big, but there are a lot of lawmakers who say otherwise. And I think the most important thing, Kevin, is you get to make that decision by going and voting on Election Day. And if you can do that, I think the Republicans are going to have a good day.
Ah. I would agree. At this time of the year, especially with all the distractions going on, most of the media, as you know, likes to inflate things. I wouldn't even worry about that. Just tune it out.
Focus. Get to vote. If you've already voted, call your neighbors, call your friends, drive them up there. That's what the Democrats are doing, and we need to do a better job of that. We need to have a massive, massive red turnout and vote the whole ticket.
Don't split this ticket, you know, for these independents and you know guys like Hatley. I mean, this is just absurd. He mathematically cannot win, and if we don't turn out and vote red and vote the whole ticket, that guy could very. Easily, very easily, siphon enough votes away from Marcia to elect Jerry Green. I mean, I would like to believe that the people who believe in Hatley, whatever he believes in, don't want Jerry Green elected.
So they need to stop. I mean, stay on point. Vote red. Vote the whole ticket and turn out. All right, Kevin.
A good word. Safe travels to Jackson, my friend, and thank you for supporting KWAM. We really appreciate that. Again, our number nine zero one two six zero five nine two six. That's nine zero one two six zero five nine two six.
Got to give a shout out to Danielle Sturgeon, seventeen years old, and she works at Chick Fil A. She only been on. She's only been on the job for two months. And she has been credited with saving the life of a toddler who apparently had choked on a chicken nugget. You got to be careful with those nuggets.
You got to chew them up. You got to anyway. This all happened at the Chick Fil A in Jonesboro, and Sturgeon saw there was a man holding a little girl upside down trying to get the chicken nugget dislodged.
So she ran over to the table. Realized the one-year-old was choking and began patting her on the back and praying. The little girl was already turning blue, and Danielle said that she just prayed that Jesus would tell her what to do. And at that point, someone said, "Do the Heimlich maneuver." And she remembered watching a video about the Heimlich maneuver a few years ago. She grabbed the kid and ended up saving the the child's life.
So what a wonderful story! And we're just so happy. I know the child's mother posted a picture of Danielle online with with the little baby. And I have to imagine Chick fil A is going to honor her as as well. Oh, she got a certificate and flowers.
That's really nice.
So well done, Danielle, and always you never hear any bad stories coming out of Chick Fil A.
So good job there to Danielle Sturgeon, seventeen years old, an employee at Chick Fil A. By the way, before we let you go, they have officially released Parade Magazine, releasing the top Halloween candy of twenty twenty six, and we have a new champion. It's officially the Snickers bar, so there you go. Shop and eat accordingly, folks. Have a great weekend.
