CIndy Mullen watched thugs rob her fireworks stand in Elk Grove, and then beat her daughter, Mischele until she was unconscious.  Mischele is in an ICU, conscious, and told her mom to do one thing.  Listen to what that is and how Pat and Tom are responding.  

Tom's cat pees over the drain of his bathtub....without fail, every time.  Pat's dog watches tv, especially basketball.  We asked what strange, different, terrific thing does your cat or dog do.  And Marcena from Elk Grove has a dog that if far ahead of other animals for 1 reason.  Pat accidentally his an auto response and now has been roped into going to an event he wants no part of.  Have you ever had to go somewhere you didn't want to because of something you said or did?  Tom's gets a pedicure and Pat makes a list that gets him in trouble.  Lauren Alaina pays special tribute to her late father and in today's Good Stuff, a woman's social media meanness ends up being a good thing for a homeless single dad.  

You know those things you're told when you're a kid that you believe with your whole heart that turn out not to be true?  Yeah, we had a few of those including one about being pulled over and arrested if you drive with your inside dome light on at night.  How long will you allow yourself to be put on hold (even if it's important). We find out who's more tolerant, Pat, Tom or Cody?   Pat's getting a new dog which means coming up with a name.  He got some great tips including what NOT to call it.  Where you can go if you really want to have fun on St Patrick's Day, and the college entrance scam run by a Sacramento man had some very famous and public foreshadowing.  

A coworker was going on and on about how overrated In-N-Out is...seriously?  We asked, what do you think is overrated?  Ever call an 800 Help line?  Pat's email account was hacked so he had to call the 800 Help line?  The guy on the other end of the phone kept assuring him he was there to help.....uh huh!   Hot school lunches...one of us liked them, 2 of us said no thanks.  Did you ever get the hot lunch at school?  And besides your sweet, wonderful self, what perks are there to being your friend?  We found out we need to ramp up our game! 

The Oscars ratings were up!  Did it have anything to do with the fact that there was no host?  And our Big Question was about the Oscars.  It was 2 years ago today, Feb 26th, 2017, that one of thee biggest Oscars flubs happened.  Do you remember it?  Cody almost got kicked out of a local establishment for doing something very simple that was frowned upon.  We asked whether or not you'd ever been kicked out....where and why?  We were flooded with responses from basketball games, to school, to restaurants and even Costco!  How in the world do you get kicked out of Costco?  Natalie, you're on! 

Cody looked like a human sized mustard packet today.  She was a great sport about it and admitted the yellow sweatsuit was not a good look.  Cheryl chimed in to say she had a cousin-in-law who fashion shamed her (in the WORST way!),  and finally our good friend, and Cody's close friend Cambi Brown from Good Day Sacramento gives Cody an honest opinion (as only a good friend can do).  What would you do if you came face to face with a mountain lion?  What if, like in Natomas, it was on your front porch or in your backyard?  One of is wanted to offer up a sacrifice in exchange for his freedom!  And for a second year in a row there was a strong Sacramento connection at the Oscars last night (makes us proud!).  

The fast food french fry power rankings are out and Cody's not happy about it.  Her #1 wasn't even in the top 5.  Let's see if yours is.   Kayne West.....yep, that dude...nailed Valentine's Day (in a good and funny kind of way).  A community comes together for a 2 year...what they did is fantastic.  How they did it is even better.  That's Friday's "Good Stuff,"   And remember the guy in El Dorado Hillas who's legally blind and has autism who was turning 30 on  Valentine's Day?  We had a lot of people sending him birthday cards because that's what he wanted most. His name is Jordan and he got A LOT of birthday cards!  We talked with his mom, Tami and she wants to thank you! 

Is it okay to go on a first date or casual date on Valentine's Day?  Too much pressure or does it matter?  Many people said yes, and then there's Chelsea from Elk Grove.  She said No Way, and for her it makes sense.  One of the houses in East Sac that was featured in the movie, "Lady Bird," (set here in Sacramento), just sold for a record amount.  Guess which house and for how much!   In today's "Good Stuff," a fantastic military surprise homecoming that happened at yesterday's Kings game at the Golden 1 Center.  And with the Academy Awards coming up in less than 2 weeks, what do the movies "The Color Purple," "Shawshank Redemption," and "It's A Wonderful Life," all have in common? 

Our huge Johnny Cash mural.....the 15 story one at 15th and L, was just voted the best wall mural art in the world!  If you haven't seen it in person it's impressive (side of the Renaissance Inn that faces L street).  And it's  big week for the late Johnny Cash as the love letter he wrote his wife, June Carter Cash, back in 1994 was just named the most romantic love letter in U.S. History.  With that in mind AND since we're a week and a day from Valentine's Day we asked, what's the most romantic thing that's ever been done for you.   Gabby was very happy to tell us....although not sure how her husband felt about it.   And we're getting a new Dunkin Donuts!  It'll open this summer on Manzanita not too far from Madison.  That led is to discovering how and where you can get "free' donuts this Saturday.  Is Cody in? 

Snow!!  Placerville looked like a ski run this morning which enabled Cody to do her favorite radio thing ever:  read school closings!  A big country star is having an outdoor block party....in 12 degree weather!  We asked what does your hometown smell like?  Many of the answers were less than nose-worthy, and some of them were outstanding!   When you go to your dentist they are playing music....and we found a "center" that actually programs dental office music.  They actually have a top 40 playlist of dental songs!   And Tom mistakes a man for a woman! (honest mistake...we think!) 

The Super Bowl had it's lowest ratings in years.  Maybe it was the matchup, maybe it was the so so commercials.  Even at that there were some good moments including one that involved a football legend.  Tom saw a guy trimming his mustache with huge scissors.  And Pat has the story of a guy driving a motorcycle while wearing a specific style of cartoon clothing!  Today's "Good Stuff," is an unbelievable story about a 4 year old boy and how he says he survived two cold days and freezing nights alone in the woods (or was he alone?!).  And a Stockton burglar so inept that she may have to move to Florida. 

Chicago is colder than Mars.  Today it is.  The Polar Vortex that's gripping the midwest and east has temperatures in some places at minus 19 with a windchill of minus 50!   What's the coldest you've ever been?  Cody has a pretty surprising answer!   10 year old Anthony has one dream:  to play basketball for the Sacramento Kings.  Yesterday he was cut from his 4th grade team.  How did he react?  Today he went to each person who made the team, shook their hand and congratulated them.  Failure will many times make you stronger.  Sarah has a great story about how failure, or predicted failure became her fuel for success.  Oh, and we'll have an Anthony update for you Thursday morning at 7:10! 

Cody escaped her escape room!  Did she like it?? Pat may have discovered a baseball first, A man in Roseville loses his job....wait'll you hear how it happened.  And there's something very simple can do to help and man who is both autistic and blind celebrate his birthday (and it's so simple).  

Today is national compliment day and one of us received a "great" compliment from someone in our family! (that might be sarcasm).  Jimmie Allen and Tyler Rich are just two of the performers doing something really cood right here in California.  In today's "Good Stuff," kids spell Love completely different than the rest of us.  They spell it T-I-M-E!.  And what's your social media pet peeve?  Tom has one, Cody has 2, and Pat has a list! 

Twitter has blown up the past couple of days on ways you draw the letter X.  We wanted to find out what it all meant.  Turns out one of us hasn't been paying attention!  Pat had one of those life defining moments at a gas station (where else would this happen?!).  We're betting something similar has happened to you.  Based on the new machine Luke Bryan's kids have, if they weren't already the most popular kids in their neighborhood they sure are now!   And in today's Good Stuff, meet the high school boy with down syndrome who hit a half court basketball shot in a game.  He'll make you smile and then squeeze your heart with love. 

Tom finally saw A Star Is Born and didn't like it.  Why?  He couldn't get past Bradly Cooper's continuous sweating.  Part of his Bradly's character or not it kept Tom from focusing.  We asked if there was a movie that had something so distracting it kept you from enjoying it.  Yep!  Take a listen and see if there's one that has you agreeing.  For years we've been saying that the dumbest criminals and criminal stories come from Florida.  We have 2 PRIME excamples that happened over the weekend.  And in The Good Stuff, Dutch Bros raises an incredible amount of money for the Officer Natalie Corona Memorial Fund while a fairly big country star shows up to sing at her service.  

Cody had a dream that involved Pat's family going on vacation with her family.  She and Pat's son Lucas were, ahhh, friendly.  I feel creepy even typing this.  Pat has some advice for Cody (wouldn't you?!).  Tom got a letter from a company that wants him to be cremated (slightly disturbing to get that in the mail).  There'a a fundraiser today at all area Dutch Bros for the police officer from Davis, Natalie Corona, who lost her life in the line of duty.  We hope you can go support it.   And Wendy from Auburn, who's a very funny lady, checks in with a funny work dream. 

You're on a diet but you keep seeing Girl Scouts EVERYWHERE and have a hard time saying no. Good cause, Great cookies, so you buy.  But you can't buy from every girl scout.  Tom has an idea on how to stay in budget and let others know you've still supported the cause!  There are ten categories of annoying texters!  Bet you know one....and do you maybe, perhaps fall into one of the categories?!   In today's Good Stuff a story that will make you want to run to Chick-fil-A.  And Tom 's parking delimma....was it his fault or not? (and how to avoid it next time) 

Tom got blindsided by a girl scout (in a good way).  He normally only buys 1 box.  How many boxes do you think he took home and why?   That 10 year aging challenge on facebook, we took to a different level with things that were relevant 10 years ago or that you used to do 10 years ago that are basically nonexistent today.  Did you have an IPod Shuffle?  Flip Video?  Silly Bandz?   Pat has the story of a woman who was just hired by a cosmetic company as a national model and spokesperson and why it's so groundbreaking.  And a guy in Silicon Valley just rented an apartment for his 2 cats (actually his daughter's cats)....really? Listen and you'll see how it turned out 

Great story about being kind and helping not because you expect anything but because it's the right thing to do.  It happened over the weekend in Kansas City and the way the story turns out is truly emotional and touching.  Turns out Cody lost her ATM card.....for 3 days!  Any guess as to where it turned up?  Pat's on a new diet, trying to trim up, and he's finding it 1)successful (so far), and 2) really hard.  Any advice?   And if you have kids you've no doubt had to go to work and ask your coworkers to buy candy or cookie dough or whatever it is your son/daughter is selling for their school fundraiser.  That same thing even happens to country music superstars.  Guess who's peddling his daughter's stuff?  

A story that broke overnight broke our hearts:  the shooting and killing of Davis Police Officer Natalie Corona.  We pay tribute to her and every first responder....God Bless them all!    In a strange twist a kids camp song has actually make it onto Billboar's Top Pop songs list.  With that in mind what's one song that you just can't stand.  We thought if we asked that question we'd get a short list of songs.  NOPE!  Turns out it's a long list  In today's Good Stuff a man drives 2,300 miles one way to help a complete stranger.  And for the first time in 99 year history of the National Football League a woman will be officiating a playoff game this weekend...and wait until you hear about her! 

Could the Federal Government Shut Down mean no wine....or beer?  That's a big maybe and we cover why it could happen.  Dierks Bentley had revealed 2019 tour plans in a very unique way ....on skates.  Dierks is a skater!  His opening act, Jon Pardi, not so much.   The Sacramento Bee gave a nice shout out to Jon for headlining our 20th annual Country In The Park on May 11th.  They also given him credit for donating a portion of ticket sales to the Salvation Army's Camp Fire Relief Efforts.  And if you could a Do Over....one thing in your life you wish you could back up and try again, what is it?  In one of the most honest calls we've ever gotten Wendy from Sacramento emotionally tells us hers.  

Do you know or work with someone who's had a mid-life crisis?  We think Tom may be going through one.  Do It YourSelf Projects....many times overrated.  Both Pat and Tom have had frustrating experiences although Pat's may take the cake.  Cody is an Ikea girl and Pat's son Dimitri has a music request that's just a little humbling for Pat. 

Ever the power go out at the worst moment?  Cody's a big Philadelphia Eagles fan.  She was watching the playoff game yesterday and right before the Bears attempted the last field goal the power went out.  What did she do?  What would you do??  Lose anything in the bad storms this weekend?  Pat lost part of his fence and can't find it!  Jason Michael Carroll mourns a Golf and Guitars loss....and what were the top five selling fast food items in 2018?  How many of them did you eat? 

Heard of the Bird Box Challenge?  Yeah, another internet thing....check that, another dumb internet thing.  Based on the Netflix movie "Bird Box,"  whiich is the now the most watched/streamed cable/netflix movie (don't ask me how), people are videoing themselves trying to do things while blindfolded.  Like driving (told you it was dumb).  We came up with what we think is a better bird box challenge.  Texting while blindfolded and then seeing what your message actually says.  Cody got close, Tom nailed it, and Pat......well, 1 for 2 isn't bad.  Imagine you're playing a slot machine and a big country star surprises you.  That happened in Vegas with some guy named Blake Shelton.  And, have you ever had a questionable Lyft or Uber driver?  For some reason Tom always seems to get them.  And check Rich from Rancho.  His story beats them all. 

A new year means new resolutions:  could you give up facebook for a year for $1,000?  A new study says many people would but our Pat and Tom polll showed the overwhelming answer was NO...by a 2 to 1 margin.  A lot of you chimed in (thank you!), including one lady her in Sacramento has already given up all social media for 100 days.  And get this....she's young.  In today's "Good Stuff," meet a man who wanted so badly to be with his daughter on Christmas that he traveled over 7,500 miles...and wait 'til you hear how he did it!   Carrie Underwood is at the point of her pregnancy that she can no longer ties her own shoes and Tyler Hubbard of FGL goes skiing and it doesn't turn out well!  

Charlres Kelly of Lady Antebellum issued a Christmas Movie Challenge to bandmate Hillary Scott.  She has never seen, "A Christmas Story."  Hard to believe but somehow that one got by her.   IF she watches it all the way through then Charles will donate money to her favorite charity.  Following that lead we issued a Christmas Movie Challenge to each other....3 different movies and we think Pat's getting the worst of it.  Bottom line is it'll mean more money for St Jude (and our annual Country Cares For St Jude Kids Radiothon is tomorrow and Friday!)  Jon Pardi's mom called in and she,is soooo proud of her boy because he's headlinging Country In The Park. How much does it mean to Jon?  Only a mom truly knows and she tell us.  

Christmas present fails.  When you buy that perfect Christmas gift for somebody you love only to have it go sideways.  That's already happened to Pat this year.  What's half the fun of making Christmas cookies?  Eating the raw dough!  The Center for Disease Control gives that a big NO!!  What do you think?  Do you eat raw cookie dough or not.  We said yes.  One of our listeners said bad, bad, bad idea.  Did you know that with linkedin when you check somebody's profile they know who it is that's checked it?  Yeah, we didn't know that either.....whoops!    And 2 of our Country In The Park acts, headliner Jon Pardi and opener Tyler Rich, have come up with a really cool way for all of us to help ongoing Camp Fire relief.  

We got to announce the details including lineup for our 20th Country In The Park this morning.  Sat, May 11th, 2019 at Cal Expo it's Jon Pardi!!  along with Lauren Alaina, Midland, LOCASH and Tyler Rich.  Jon called in to tell us how excited he is to be living out on of his dreams (he's wanted to headline Country In The Park since he was 19!  And, Jon being Jon, he's making sure that a dollar from every ticket sold goes to the Salvation Army's Camp Fire reliet efforts.  There's also a t-shirt that he, Tyler Rich (who will also be at Country In The Park), Cam, Brett Young and Gary Allan have put together and the proceeds from the sales of that t-shirt also go to Camp Fire Relief!  Take a listen and hear Jon tell you what the shirt's like and how to get it. 

Dreams so real you actually act them out in your sleep.  Tom's was basketball, Cody's was a play she was in and Pat's involved snakes (ugg!)  Jeanne from Elk Grove told us one about a camper full of cats )for real.....well, almost real).  Pat took his son Dimitri to see Santa Claus.  The picture went well and then Dimitri tried to sneak a bunch of Candy Canes.  How did Pat handle it??   Luke Combs is up for a grammy (yes!!).  Cody has the list of nominations.  And what dumb thing did you believe in when you were a kid?  Or maybe you still believe.  If you have siblings you know they can be bull......ahhhh a big influence on what you believe when you're really young.  Like Phyllis believing she could actually lay eggs!  

Fantastic time last night at our Camp Fire Benefit Concert.  Carly Pearce put on a great show including bringing young J J on stage to sing with her.  We hoped to get 20-25 thousand dollars for the Salvation Army's Relief Efforts in Butte County.  But that wasn't enough for you people.  Instead you came with $63,500!! We humbly say thank you...for coming out, supporting and donating.   Today is National Cookie Day.  If you could only have one type of cookie the rest of your life what would it be?  And to Cookie Ice Cream Sandwiches couny?  A city tries to ban showball fights, emergency room doctors go over the Christmas movie "Home Alone," and tell you what injuries Harry and Marv really would have sustained.  

Alexa or Mon?  Depends on the question....although asking mom has been around a whole lot longer than asking Alexa.  John Almeda (Run John Ron), is 23 and non verbal autistic.  His passion is running.  Last year he ran the California International Marathon hoping to qualitfy for the Boston Marathon.  Sometime during mile 10 he broke his ankle....and still finished!  This year he ran it again and finished with a great time.  His mom, Vanessa decided to run it too.  Half way into the race she sprained her ankle.  At mile 22 she was ready to quit when guess who showed up?  John....with a donut, coffee, and guided her in, running with her, the last 4 miles.  Nicole Kidman does not allow electronic devices in her house/  We asked what was something you were not allowed to do when you were growing up.  We had answers of no non-Disney movies, not allowed to wear black, and one in particular that made us pause and say.....no way!  

A man at WalMart accidentally shot himself.  He'll be fine but listen to find our where and, well, where (yep, two wheres, no waiting).   The California International Marathon is this Sunday.  An incredible young man is running.  He ran it last year and broke his foot...and still finished.  We feature John  along with the inspriational story of a special needs high school students making collegiate athletic history.  And a Southwest Airlines agent is in trouble for making fun of a 5 year old girl's name.  That of course is not just wrong, but something that shoudl never happen!  At the same time her name is......unusual?!!  

Are your devices listening to you?  You know, your phone, Alexa, even tablets.  The  response was overwhelmingly yes!!  Many of you have great examples.....Christina's may be the most direct.  Pat has 7 Christmas inflatibles in his front yard.  What's the over/under on how many will still be in his front yard when he gets home and how many will be blown down the street or sitting in somebody elses yard?!  For Christmas:  Fake Tree or Real?  Over 2 thirds have the same answer.  Does it match yours?  And a man looking to meet a lady that more than caught his eye ends up donating his bone marrow.  Not only did he save a life, what do you think happened with the girl?? 

Tom finally got his birthday gift from Pat and it was one of the most unique gift wrap jobs ever.  Monopoly has a new version just for millennials and wait until you hear how you lose!   Last night was a very good night for Paradise High School Athletics.  Their boys varsity basketball team played Chico.  How it was handled and the results will make you smile.  Is it possible that beer is cheaper than water>  It is in Pat's hometown and with good reason!  And if you want to go to our Camp Fire Benefit Concert with Carly Pearce next Monday, we are down to just GA ticketrs ($20 at kncifm.com)

Even the person who LOVES Christmas can become a little stressed during the season.  If Brett Eldredge is Mr Christmas, Pat's his roadies.  And Pat had one of those "seasonal" moments over the weekend.   You know that person who when you go out to eat has a problem finding their wallet?  Yeah, that happened....listen to how the boys dealt with it.  Today is Tom's birthday...HAPPY BIRTHDAY TOM...and his present is in West Sac, sitting in a facility ready to be delivered.  It's been there since Wednesday morning!!  Will Tom ever get it??  And 2 brothers from Chicago drive 4,500 miles to deliver much needed supplies for the animals in Butte Country.  Pat and Tom have this cool story and a follow up to what the football team from Casa Roble (rolling through the playoffs!) is doing for the team from Paradise. 

A pigeon was found very much alive and healthy but wearing a bedazzled vest.  Not sure how that happens but we tried our best to find out.  You know about the Camp Fire, how many weren't able to make it out, how many are still missing....now hear what it was like for one family who were stuck in traffic trying to get out and surrounded by flames.  How did they make it out and what's life like for them now.  And if you're looking for opportunities to help, there are 2 Thanksgiving Dinners being put on for evacuees that are looking for volunteers.  

Ever have one of those mornings where stuff is broken and you can't figure out how or why?  That was today!  We announced our Camp Fire Benefit Concert today.  God Bless you Carly Pearce for stepping up!  It's in Roseville, Dec 3rd, and all money from tickets sold goes right to the Salvation Army for Camp Fire evacuees.  Pat saw one of the greatest things ever involving a very talented dog.  And Tom actually fixed something in the building....nice job Tom!  Plus a poem written by a lady who had to evacuate Paradise.  It's a good reminder that putting up with bad air for a bit is nothing compared to what some people are going through.  

Highlights from this morning's show include Keith Urban's emotional win at last night's CMA Awards,  the shout outs to Northern California Fire Victims from Chris Stapleton, Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood, a Fire Fighter from Linocln battling the Camp Fire takes a few minutes out to remind people in Lincoln that today is their annual turkey drive, and the FFA Class at Del Oro is doing a wonderful thing for the evacuees.  Plus if you're tweeting out something about the fire and using the hashtag ButteStrong, make sure you're spelling Butte correctly! 

A car dealership in Sourthern California may have gets not just the poor taste award but also most insensitive (or as Tom likes to say, they're tone deaf).  We have that story today along with an amazing story that will move you from loyal listener Kristen.  She's from Chico and was at the Chico Walmart when the fire just started to spread.  What she saw and how it was handled is terrifying and amazingly good at the same time.  More specifically what evacuated familes need and with the CMA's tonight (8pm on abc10) Luke Combs story of how he almost met Tim McGraw at last year's CMA's is hysterical. 

Our air remains unhealthy and that's what's closed both Sac State and UC Davis today.  The list of what Camp Fire evacuees are most in need of is way more focused than yesterday.  Pat and Tom find out that their boss's favorite band is doint something really cool for firefighters and first responders tonight at the Golden 1 Center.  And in today's Good Stuff, incredible stories of sportsmanship and over the top generosity involving two high schools from Paradise. 

If you have a sore throat you're not alone.  All of this smokey air is causing cold and in some cases flu-like symptoms.  Cody is trying to get over the flu anyway so this is not helping BUT these things are so minor compared to what over 52,000 evacuees from the Camp Fire are going through.  So many great ideas came rolling in this morninig on ways to help.  Our favorite came from Caren in Roseville. Both Pat and Tom are taking her idea and acting on it.  We hope you can to! 

We spent a lot of time today talking about, taking phone calls about, and trying to help the evacuees of the Camp Fire in Butte County.  The town of Paradise is basically gone....can't even imagine that.  Many people who were forced to leave have little or nothing to go back to (when indeed they are allowed to go back).  Many of them are in hotels in Yuba City, Rocklin and Roseville....and when those get crowded Sacramento.  Tom and his wife did a great thing.  They paid for a night for a family that evacuated and are now at a Rocklin hotel.  Pat is dropping gift cards of to hotels that have people who have evacuated.  Whatever you can do to help, thank you!  If you need ideas check in on our facebook page at  kncipatandtom.  

Several times this morning we talked about and updated the tragic shooting that happened last night in Thousand Oaks and a Country bar.  Tragic, senseless, beyond sad.  The officer who lost his life and Matt Wennerstrom who broke a window and helped dozens escape are heroes.  Keep officer Ron Helus, his family, the victims and their families in your thoughts....and hug your loved ones.   Pat and Tom went the extra mile to help an important station event and were given gift certificates as a way of saying thanks....that expired!  Anything like that ever happen to you?  Devin Dawson is asking for your help, a Chicago restaurnat has a unique way of celebrating the 15th anniversary of the movie "Elf," and Pat and Tom have solid proof the big brother is indeed listening....to everything! 

It's election day and what we most want is...that sticker!  Did you get yours?  If you did plesae take a picture of you with your sticker and post it on our fb page.  Pat was elected school president in 6th grade (promising to upgrade desserts for lunch), Cody ran for class treasurer and Tom was elected to a unique position!  Blake Shelton is no longer People Magazine's Sexiest Man Alive...how did he react?  And Pat and Tom made a bet.  It had to do with Round Table Pizza.  One of them has to pay off....in public!  

First, I have to apologize.  Today's podcast is only about half of what we did today.  We had some technical difficulties not on the air, but when retrieving audio.  Which means we missed the conclusion of Cody's missingher plane from France to London, Tom's awesome audio of Garth talking about the influence of the band Queen, and Pat's funny "almost field of dreams" moment with his son.  We do have why you might want to put up your Christmas tree early, an idea on how to improve I-5 and a celebrity sighting that wasn't that happened right across from the IMAX theater Friday night. 

Did you have a lot of trick or treaters?  Jackie in East Sac said she had 2,000!!  How do you even buy for that many?  Both Pat and Tom had very few BUT they've come up with an idea on how to fix it.  Three little trick or treaters that hit Pat's house were amazed at getting full sized candy bars and one of them, a 3 year old, had a great take.  Orangevale's Devin Dawson is doing a really cool thing to help education in music and if you're gonna throw a beer during a parade make sure it doesn't hit anything....like a priceless trophy! 

It's Halloween!  What are the hottest places around Sacramento to Trick Or Treat? We have the list.  Tom remembers a not pleasant Halloween and a listener who used to live in Fiddletown has a great story that involves a bear coat, a hat, some teenagers and and an axe (nobody got hurt but a couple of someones needed a wardrobe change!).  And, tips for tonight when the kids comes to your door.  Happy Halloween! 

Ever forget a password?  Frustrating!  Thankfully there is sometimes a help desk you can call or email.  But how much of a help are they really??   There are 2 types of people:  those who like candy corn, and those who hate it.  Today is national candy corn day and we found out something that changed one of our opinions of candy corn.  Will it change yours?  Tomorrow is Halloween and we found the most haunted places around Sacramento.  Bet you've been to at least 1 of them.  A 3 year old belts out an iconic rock song and she's actually pretty good! .
