Kelly Ford In The Morning Podcast

Veterans Day, wild turkeys running loose in NJ, bumper cars on ice in Brooklyn, CMA Awards!

Kelly Ford took calls from listeners shouting out special veterans in their life. Today's All The Feels story also recognizes our first responders in New York.

Miranda Lambert is back with her brand new album Wildcard which came out November 1st featuring the hit single "It All Comes Out In The Wash."

Miranda sat down with Kelly Ford to talk about her relationship with New York City and the impact it had on her writing process for her seventh studio album.

Kelly pointed out that "Pretty Bitchin'" and "Locomotive" are two great songs for her early morning subway commute. We then find out that Miranda is afraid of the subway! Even though the country superstar is married to an NYPD Officer, she explains, "I don't know how to navigate it...I'm scared of the stops. I know I won't pay attention - I'm ADD - so I'll be daydreaming and miss my place to get out." She admits that her husband is trying to get her to "chill out about it."

Another track with a clear NYC inspiration is "Fire Escape." She tells Kelly, "I've never had a fire escape before until being here. So, of course, I had to write about it - it's new." She goes on to say how "it's all still new. Being from a tiny town in East Texas, all of its so crazy." Miranda explains that before her move to the city, she'd been here a lot, but only for work. Once she moved here, she talks about how "getting to just disappear and really get into the culture of the city was so good for my creativity and inspiration because it was something different." 

Miranda talks about the "what you see is what you get" mentality of her fellow New Yorkers and how it makes her feel at home. She says that Texans have that same charm that makes her feel like the people she meets are genuine and not fake. She says this mentality here is "just like Southern hospitality, but Northern." 

Miranda's new record Wildcard is available everywhere right now!

Happy Halloween from Kelly Ford In The Morning! 

 

If you don't believe in ghosts you will after hearing these ghost stories. Kelly Ford, Little Big Town, Joe Nolan, Goldstein and a bunch of callers all tell their stories.

Decorating your house for Halloween is getting more and more popular every year! There is actually a family in Wayne NJ that has become world-famous for their Halloween display. Gina & Rich Martorana have become collectors of inflatable Haloween decorations and 218+ of them currently cover their front lawn.

Thousands of guests visit the home to enjoy the amazing display. While you're there, kids can write letters to "The Great Pumpkin." Think of it as writing a letter to Santa or the Easter Bunny. Kids write letters wishing for great candy this Halloween and "let Santa know I've been a good girl this year."

Producer Goldstein from Kelly Ford In The Morning visited the house and had a chance to chat with the owner, Rich. He started decorating in 2003 with just 3 inflatables and his display has been rapidly growing ever since. He says his favorite decoration on the lawn is Chewbacca.

Halloween is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to this house's decorations. They go all out for Halloween and Easter as well!

Since it's going to be raining on Halloween, their official celebration will take place on Saturday, November 2nd. Make sure to stop by, Giana put together 1,600 candy sacks for the kids!  You can check it out for yourself at 396 Fairfield Rd in Wayne.

Big thanks to officers Joe, Giovanni, & John for stopping by #KellyFordInTheMorning on #NationalFirstRespondersDay! These three hero’s saved a mans life while off duty at a bowling alley. They noticed the guy having a heart attack and sprung into action ❤️ @thekellyford #NYPD
