Lamar Reviews - Priscilla (Airdate 11/17/2023)
Listen now: https://buff.ly/3QKxnGt

Cailee Spaeny is fantastic as Priscilla the 14-year-old in love with one of the most famous men in the world. And she is even more so as Priscilla the lonely depressed 27-year-old who is stuck keeping the “home fires” burning at Graceland, while Elvis is away for months at a time making movies and having affairs with his leading ladies. Jocob Elordi is a passable Elvis, although he is 5 inches too tall. The movie is titled Priscilla, not Elvis.

THURSDAY COFFEE POT GIVEAWAY
Today's topic: Christmas Candy

Mandy here. Are there any Christmas candies you love? Like, you have a really hard time walking past the holiday aisle when you're shopping because THESE are on the shelf? My favorites are those LINDOR Truffles. Especially the snickerdoodle ones! And remember RIBBON CANDY? I loved ribbon candy when I was little. Do you have a favorite Christmas candy?

WEDNESDAY COFFEE POT GIVEAWAY
Today's topic: Thanksgiving LEFTOVERS

Mandy here. I want to know what you usually do with the leftover Thanksgiving food (if you have leftovers). Last year, we sent most of the leftovers home with my sister and her family. But I definitely enjoy making sandwiches the next day. Two slices of bread (or leftover yeast rolls) with a slice of cheese, then I add turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy and sometimes even cranberry sauce. It's pretty tasty. What do *YOU* do with the leftovers? Comment before 3pm for your chance to win a FREE Coffee Pot Sandwich.

TUESDAY COFFEE POT GIVEAWAY
Today's Topic: What's your *LEAST* favorite Thanksgiving food?

Mandy here. I told you I was going to talk about Thanksgiving foods a lot this month! I love almost everything served at Thanksgiving dinner. But I'm not a fan of those little baby onions. So that's probably my least favorite item on the Thanksgiving table. (Also, anything made with Jello... yuck.) What about you? Comment before 3pm for your chance to win a FREE Coffee Pot Sandwich.

MONDAY COFFEE POT GIVEAWAY
Today's topic: How old is your oldest pair of shoes?

Mandy here. I realized the other day; I have a pair of shoes that I bought when I was in high school that I still wear from time to time. They're big, strappy platforms with a star-shaped hole through the sole. The last time I wore them was to an '80s themed party (not really the correct era, but they looked great with the socks over the pant-legs of my jeans). So *MY* answer to today's question is "about 25 years old." Do you have an old pair of shoes or boots that you still wear from time to time?

Today's topic: Do you have a favorite Fall Clothing item?

Mandy here. I was wondering if you have a favorite piece of fall clothing that you've pulled out and started wearing again now that it's chilly here in Maine.

(Fun story: On Monday, our entire volleyball team showed up at the Rec Center wearing LL Bean jackets - completely unplanned I might add. We all had just pulled out our warmer clothing, which happened to be LL Bean brand for each and every one of us.) My favorite fall clothing is my warm PJs. What about you?

Today's topic: How long 'til your X-mas decorations go up?

Mandy here. Be honest. Now that it's officially November, how long will you wait until putting up Christmas decorations? For me, it can happen at any minute. The boss here at the radio station insists I wait until Thanksgiving has passed. But at home, I start bringing out the Christmas decorations as soon as Halloween is over. What about you?

Today's topic: Halloween Tricks (pranks)

Mandy here. First of all, Happy Halloween! I want to know if you ever played any Halloween pranks on anyone. Or if you know of any Halloween pranks that took place. I must be boring, because I never egged anyone's car or house. I never toilet-papered any trees. And I honestly can't remember anyone committing Halloween Tricks. But you must, right?

Today's Topic: Your Favorite Halloween Costume

Mandy here. I've always loved dressing up for Halloween. If I had to pick a FAVORITE costume that I've worn over the years, there would be TWO. My dad made a really great Kangaroo costume for me that I wore when I was 5. It had a pouch and everything! And he made a Rainbow Brite costume for my older sister, so a few years later I was able to wear it. And I loved that one too. What was your favorite costume that you wore for Halloween? (From when you were a kid, or as an adult.) Comment before 3pm for your chance to win a FREE Coffee Pot Sandwich.

FRIDAY COFFEE POT GIVEAWAY
Today's Topic: What's something you're grateful for?

Mandy here. I think we all just want to hear some positive news about a certain person being apprehended... so it was hard for me to choose today's topic. I think in times like these, it's important to remember what we are grateful for.

I just want you all to know that I am grateful to you for interacting here every day. I'm also very grateful to the hundreds of law enforcement officials working around the clock right now. And I'm extremely grateful for friends and family. And hugs. Hugs are the best. What are you grateful for? Comment before 3pm for your chance to win a FREE Coffee Pot Sandwich.

Mandy here. I think we're all thinking and feeling similar things today, but I don't actually want to talk about it. (Avoidance is a good coping mechanism, right?)

Today's topic: 2023 Goals

Mandy here. Back in January, I'm sure we had a topic about New Year's Resolutions and goals. I want to know - did you have any goals for 2023, and if so - have you attained / accomplished them yet?

Mine was probably something like, be better about finances. I can safely say I have NOT accomplished that goal. It's hard. But I still have a little over 2 months to make it happen. I'll really try. So what was a goal you had for 2023, and did you do it? Comment before 3pm for your chance to win a FREE Coffee Pot Sandwich.

TUESDAY COFFEE POT GIVEAWAY
Today's Topic: Wildlife friend

Mandy here. If you could have a wild animal for a pet / or an animal that visited your property daily (that you could feed and socialize with), which wild animal would you want as a friend?

I'd love to have a fox. We had a momma fox (and her 4 kits) living on our property a few years ago and I miss them. I never fed them, and I had to keep my dogs away from that part of the yard. But we could watch them from our living room window and it was magical. Since then, we've only had daily visits from chipmunks, squirrels, birds, groundhogs and skunks. So, which wildlife animal would make you happy as a daily visitor? Comment before 3pm for your chance to win a FREE Coffee Pot Sandwich.

Today's topic: Early Bird or Night Owl?

Mandy here. I've always been a Night Owl - staying up late and sleeping in - but over the past few years, I think I might have accidentally become an Early Bird. Lately, I find myself going to bed early and waking up with the sun. (I think worrying about our older dogs with their various health issues is what changed my sleep schedule.) So I guess I'm an early bird now. What about you? Are you an early bird or a night owl? Comment before 3pm for your chance to win a FREE Coffee Pot Sandwich.

FRIDAY COFFEE POT GIVEAWAY
Today's topic: Do It Yourself

Mandy here. Back in the day, families used to do everything themselves. These days, we pay people to do and make most of the things we need.

I want to know - what is one thing you still do yourself? For me, I can make my own cheese and bread. When we want pizza, I make it myself. Steve and I make our own cider and beer. I can fix holes in clothing and replace buttons with my sewing kit. (As far as fixing things that go wrong with our home, though - we're pretty useless. Thankfully we have neighbors who help with home-related projects. In the last 10 years, our neighbor Rusty has helped us install 2 different dishwashers, 2 sinks, and a front door!)

So what's something you can do that other people just pay for? Comment before 3pm for your chance to win a FREE Coffee Pot Sandwich.

Today's topic: Do you prefer it to be too hot or too cold?

Mandy here. Currently, it's about 85 degrees in my studio and let me tell you - I AM NOT A FAN OF THE HEAT. Honestly, I prefer when it's too cold. Heat makes it hard to think, and I get sleepy. If you had to choose between trying to focus when it's too hot - or when it's too cold, which would you choose? Me? I prefer 'too cold' always!

THANK YOU to everyone who made Christmas is for Kids a success last year. And thank you to the Maine Association of Broadcasters for recognizing Christmas is for Kids this past Saturday, at the MAB awards in Portland. KISS-FM won FIRST PLACE for 'Commitment to Community' for the Christmas is for Kids campaign. And the best part? MAB is donating $500 to jump start this year's Christmas is for Kids program!
