***HAVE YOU EVER BEEN GHOSTED?***
Last week we talked about Intern Brendan's new online friend, Samuel. In a sudden turn of events, Samuel blocked Intern Brendan on social media, and may have even banned him from Verizon's help chat (where they met)...so we want to know have YOU ever been ghosted by someone? Let's hear the story.

It's Fursday Thursday, and we'd like you to meet Babs, the Pet of the Week at the Cherryland Humane Society!
Babs is a 4 years old female who has enough personality to fill an entire room as soon as you meet her (which is a good thing, since she prefers to be the only fur-baby in the household.) She has the sweetest purr when she gets started, and can even be a chatter box at times! She is warm and loving once she gets to know you, and it the best lap-kitty! As an added bonus, she even makes for a great mouser! For anyone looking for a gorgeous, fluff-ball of a cat who will be sure to fill your entire home with joy, come check out Babs at CHS!

***ONLINE FRIENDSHIPS...ARE THEY WEIRD?***
In a very odd turn of events, Intern Brendan started an online friendship with a Verizon chat employee named Samuel while he was trying to get his free year of Disney+. They've already become friends on social media, and Samuel might even be on the show next week. Mikey thinks this is ODD! What are your thoughts on online friendships?

***WOULD YOU HAVE YOUR HOUSE SWEPT FOR SPIRITS?***
On Halloween, we brought paranormal investigators in studio and an original 1932 Ernest Hemingway book in our conference room set off their sensors. Since then, Mikey has taken the book home and strange things have been happening. Now, the investigators want to sweep his house for spirits or anything that may be attached to the book. Would you let them investigate YOUR house?
***WHAT IS SOMETHING YOU STILL HAVE FROM YOUR CHILDHOOD THAT YOU WON'T GET RID OF?***
Do you have an old raggedy stuffed animal, or favorite blanket from your childhood you just can't get rid of? Anything from your childhood that you REFUSE to get rid of? Let us know in the comments and find out what Mikey has used EVERY DAY since he was 12, and refuses to get rid of at 7:10 on the show!
***WHAT'S THE DUMBEST THING YOU'VE DONE AT WORK?***
Mikey and Intern Brendan came across a golf club, and a protective vest in our studio. It's 100% going to lead to them doing something really dumb. So we want to hear some of the dumbest things you've done on the job.
It's Fursday Thursday, and this week we have a special FOSTER Pet of the Week...Goober!
Goober is about 8 years old, and is the biggest, fun-lovin' guy around! Goober loves to sit in laps and get as many cuddles as possible. His favorite thing to do is to sit on the couch and hang out with his best friends and family. The instant you meet this bundle, you will get kisses, snuggles, and a whole lot of joy in your life!
Goober is currently undergoing treatment for Heartworm during his stay at CHS, which is why we are looking for a family to foster him, during his medical needs.
Please help spread the word, and let's find a family to foster Goober! Contact the Cherryland Humane Society about him today!
***WHAT IS A LIFE SKILL EVERYONE SHOULD LEARN?***
Yesterday we all found out that Intern Brendan doesn't know how to change a tire. This morning, Mikey admitted he couldn't do his own taxes to save his life. Both of these things are basic life skills...so we want to know what is a life skill EVERYONE should learn?
***WHAT EXCUSES HAVE YOU USED TO CALL IN?***
This morning Intern Brendan texted Mikey saying he can't make it in because he has a flat tire, and doesn't know how to fix it. Let's hear some more good excuses you've used or heard to call into work or school.

Any adults out there still go trick or treating? Teenagers? We want to know what you say is the age to stop trick or treating.
***OUIJA BOARDS: YAY OR NAY?***
This morning we're talking about the dreaded Ouija Board...does anyone out there believe they actually work? Mikey says they don't work, they're just a piece of cheap cardboard made by a toy company. Have you had any unusual experiences with them? Let us know!
***NATIONAL TRICK OR TREAT DAY?***
Everyone went into an uproar when it was suggested Halloween be changed to the last Saturday in October, and good news...it doesn't look like that will be happening.

Meet Carson, and all of the other animals today at the Cherryland Humane Society!

Mikey and Intern Brendan have been discussing adult halloween costumes this morning. Do YOU still dress up? If so, where do you where your costume? Work? Parties? Let us know!
***BANNING STORMTROOPER COSTUMES?***

Meet Martha! She is 9 years old, and had to make her way to the Cherryland Humane Society after her owner passed away. Martha is a bit shy at first, but once she opens up, she is the biggest love bug. She loves her head rubs and all around pets. She is a huge snuggler and will make sure you are loved on. She will use her paw to pull you in close and her purr is so light and precious! Martha also loves to cuddle and be cozy in her bed or your lap!
Chase really came out of his shell this morning, and auditioned to sing the national anthem for the Traverse City Pit Spitters. This is the FIRST time he’s ever sang in front of anyone, let alone on the radio or social media. He’s looking for any feedback or tips to help get him where he needs to be. Thanks for putting yourself out there, Chase! Good luck!
