it's national candy corn day. although some believe it's a perfect treat on this halloween eve, others think it's more of a trick and want nothing to do with it. the national confectioners association says 9 billion pieces of candy corn are produced each year. the classic treat has been around since the 1800s. apparently it used to be called chicken feed. oh yeah. because of its resemblance to chicken feed. >> yeah. yeah. yeah. >> with its traditional yellow, white and orange color. so i guess we'll take a little straw poll here. do you love or hate candy corn? >> i know spencer is going to say, well, it's definitely not my favorite. >> it was always too. i found it too sugary sweet. i just. i never liked it. i don't hate it. that's. that's a strong term. but i just don't really like it.

>> i actually like it, but only this time of year. yeah, that's the only time i have it. i eat it. we have a jar of it at home, as a matter of fact. yeah. just this time of year. >> yep. how about you, michael? >> i think it's second to smarties, so. >> is that good or bad? >> that's good. that's good. no, i do like them. >> and spencer is right. they're very sweet. i don't want a bunch of them, and i don't want them all year round. but now i'm grabbing them out of the bowl. >> michael and i. you have. you and i have similar candy. yeah yeah, i'm all about the reese's peanut butter cups. >> so this one just tastes like sugar to me. but that's reese's. >> that's a year round treat. >> oh, yeah, that's true. >> that's true. >> can never go wrong with that. all right. tomorrow is halloween, of course, but some are looking ahead to christmas. stores are already stocking christmas gear this display was spotted in the lucky supermarket on the island of alameda over the weekend. and we're still 56 days away from christmas. so is it too too soon for christmas? i'll tell all of you. i had to run some errands. we had the kids coming over for pumpkin

carving yesterday and our neighbors as well. i ran out to pick up a couple of holiday or halloween gift bags. i could barely find them because christmas stuff was on. >> yes, it's already there. yeah. >> is it too soon? what do you think, spencer? >> well, for me, it's not because christmas is my favorite holiday, but. but i get it. i mean, you know, it doesn't seem any more like a seasonal thing if it's being promoted throughout all seasons, right? yeah. so i understand the frustration people feel, but i love it. my wife's already watching hallmark christmas movies. i haven't started yet. we start that around thanksgiving. >> what about you, michael? it's sort of become like the christmas quarter. yeah it has been. >> you know, i used to fight this. i've given up on it. now, you know, it's just stores make so much money in this season and buy tying their sales to the christmas season. they're not going to quit doing it. and everybody seems to love it. so who am i to get in the way? >> yeah, it's the time of year, so i don't mind it being a little longer. >> yeah, that's true. kristen it's a fun time of year.

>> all right, let's switch topics from holidays to housing. is it really a bad time to buy in a new bankrate.com survey for 49% believe that, yes. yes, it is about time to buy mortgage rates are at their highest point in decades. and the combination of low supply and high demand is keeping prices pretty high. but experts say it's unlikely that things will get better anytime soon. so buying now, now might not be any worse than buying later, huh? okay michael, i'm going to you here. would you advise people to buy looking at this? >> yes, absolutely. and let me tell you why. back in the day when you got a mortgage, your rate had to drop about 2% or rates out that you could get would have to drop 2% below your current rate before it was worth getting rid of an old mortgage and getting a new one. those are all old rules. your mortgage is not set up like that anymore. more so you can buy today if you can afford these higher rates and every time it drops a half percent, even a quarter percent go get a new mortgage, just

refinance, right? yeah, just refinance. that's the way to go. i remember friends of mine back in the 70s when they were buying homes that were 18. do you guys remember that crazy? >> the first home i bought was 12. wow. >> yeah. yeah. and how cool was it when it dropped down to like six and you were paying half? that's amazing. >> i subscribe to finnish nomics . i agree with that. >> is that a new branch of economics? >> i like it. it is now the smart branch. >> we're going to put a cap and gown on. michael here's some really interesting news. americans are working less for the same pay. the wall street journal attributes it to an increase in paid time off, a vacation time, sick time and family leave. companies are trying to retain workers in a competitive job market. 80% of civilian workers get paid sick time and three quarters have some sort of paid vacation. roughly a quarter have access to paid family leave. but americans still work more hours on average than people in other countries like canada and the u.k. so the

question is and michael, maybe we'll start with you as our consumer expert, how much paid time off is reasonable or do people want i mean, obviously, people want as much as they can get, but what is reasonable? >> yeah, how much do i want? how much do you have? >> exactly? >> what do you offer? >> you know, here in san francisco, you now get ten days. everybody who works in san francisco gets ten sick days. i think that's appropriate. you know, we looked at covid and a lot of people would have been on their vacation days had they not had these extra days. so i think that's legit. when you look at europe, everybody takes august off somehow there is successful as we are financially. i don't know why we work so much. >> spencer, what do you think? you know, i always thought i remember when i first one of the big transitions leaving college and starting work was you got two weeks vacation after i'd been there a year, that was it. and i'm like, what about summer vacation and christmas? well, there is none of that. exactly that was a bit of a splash of cold water. how much vacation do you think is reasonable for people?

>> you know what? i think about six weeks a year would be reasonable, don't you? yeah, sure. >> i mean, and certainly people starting out, i mean, yeah, three weeks minimum. how about you, kristin? >> you know, i think if you get your job done and done well, you know, maybe it should be unlimited. i mean, kristin, for president. >> we'll be right back. that's the fo feel the power of osteo bi-flex®. taken every day, it's clinically shown to improve joint comfort in 7 days, with significant improvement over time.

who are contributing to our communities in ways that really matter. and david was an obvious choice. he is somebody that i think a lot of us feel like is almost a member of the family, helped us make sense of what was going on around us for literally decades. and he's also one of the first and one of the longest tenured asian american journalists, i think really carved a path for so many people . and so we're just thrilled to be honoring him. >> yep. and we are so happy to see it. oh, we absolutely is deserving. thursday's award ceremony takes place at 3 p.m. that's at the yerba buena center for the arts. >> congratulations to david. so well deserved. we're excited. yeah. all right. well it is halloween tomorrow, as you know, and the bay area is ready. >> next, check out some of the best decorated houses. maybe your neighborhoo you ping and pong that body. you plunge that body. you green that body. you brain power that body.
