That's right. My bottle opener came up the stairs and opened the bottle
for me. Sweet. Well, maybe he'll come up again. He can bring a blanket then. You don't have to go downstairs. You just have him bring it up.
Well, if he brought me a blanket, I'd probably need him to bring me like a pickle too.

a peppy. I'm actually like trying to amp myself up because I'm kind of tired tonight. So I'm like
going the other
direction with
this thing. I'm really tired, yeah. So I'm like super, I'm super chilled
out. We have the two ladies that are tired and me who's just coming over a cold. Hopefully I won't go into a gagging fit while we're doing the radio show. That would be intimidating. That'd be gross. be mute time, but anyways, yeah. But our guest this evening, Nuzor Ono, is the queen of African horror. All right, so it says she's the creator of chilling horror fiction from the African continent. Her books have introduced African horror to the international stage. Her work has been described as deeply disturbing, spine-chingling, chilling, and gripping and haunting.
So...

that version.
The original one is way
creepy.
Oh, it's definitely creepy. I think it's only in subtitle, but it doesn't really matter because it'll still scare the poop out of you. It's pretty creepy. I mean, it's way, way, way better. So yeah, so I'm interested to see where we go with African horror and what that's all about. So it's going to be fun. So how is everybody else this evening? Anything we want to chat about? Cheryl, what's happening in your life? What's going on in your life? You and Chad.
Well, we had a mighty fun Halloween. And what was funny is the first two years we moved here, You know, I'd say we're kind of country-fied over here. We got like one year, maybe like five trick-or-treaters. And the next year, maybe like 10. I swear to God, we got at least 50 or 60 this year. Really? Yeah, it was unusually warm this year. So
that
could have been it. But it was great. Yeah, I love seeing all the little cute kids in their costumes. They're so cute. We
got our usual zero. Oh.
We didn't get anything either. That's weird. We didn't have anything in our house either.
Yeah, I'm okay with that. I'm fine with it.
right
you like you don't mind the only trick-or-treater we've ever had has been our kid so there
you go does he walk out of the house and then turn around and come back and ring the
doorbell no a couple times his dad took him would came down for halloween and took him down through the neighborhood we would usually take him to um halloween was kind of the thing he did with his dad yeah um so we would if if i had him for halloween i would take him like someplace where they were doing it like at a shopping center or something
