CAROL COSTELLO, CNN ANCHOR: And now it is time for the "Talk" of CNN. KDMX's "Jeff and Anna in the Morning" from Dallas on the phone with us right now -- good morning.
JEFF: Hi, how are you guys?

ANNA: Morning.

COSTELLO: But you know, I know you guys want to talk about the elections, but frankly, aren't you sick of them?

ANNA: Oh yes!

JEFF: Yes, actually we are, but you know it's still of a bit of a buzz here so; but if you are, we are, so.

COSTELLO: OK. Well the most -- well not the most interesting but I guess the quirkiest thing I saw is where George Bush voted in Crawford, Texas in sort of a, I don't know what it was, a gas station/store.

ANNA: Fire station.

COSTELLO: Fire -- was it a fire station?

ANNA: Yes, it was.

COSTELLO: It didn't even look like a fire station.

ANNA: Well that's what they look like in Crawford.

(LAUGHTER)

JEFF: There are very few fires in Crawford.

(LAUGHTER)

COSTELLO: We heard roosters in the background and dogs barking.

JEFF: You know there was an interesting piece of video here, Governor Rick Perry got a call from George W. Bush congratulating him on winning the election. And when George -- when Governor Perry answered the phone, he said hey, brother.

COSTELLO: Oh!

JEFF: It's like he gets to call the president hey brother. COSTELLO: I thought only Jeb got to do that?

ANNA: Yes, you never know, maybe Rick and George are related.

COSTELLO: Well there really weren't any surprises of the races in Texas, were there?

ANNA: No,...

JEFF: No.

ANNA: ... the Republicans swept everything.

JEFF: Yes, it was -- it was a big -- it was a big slap on the back for George W. Bush.

ANNA: It was.

COSTELLO: Definitely so. Well if the Republicans would not have swept Texas, it would have been pretty embarrassing for George Bush, frankly.

ANNA: Very true. You know we couldn't get a hold of the real Rick Perry since George W. was calling him, but we got a hold of the fake Rick Perry in Fort Worth, Texas.

COSTELLO: Oh great.

JEFF: Yes, he's our new character on our little broadcast.

COSTELLO: Well see, it's provided you with some comedic fodder.

JEFF: Yes, it has.

COSTELLO: Hey, let's talk about Afghanistan because someone is sending candy to soldiers.

ANNA: We are.

JEFF: Yes, we're doing...

COSTELLO: Awe!

JEFF: It's Operation Sweet Tooth. We got an e-mail from somebody stationed there and said hey you know the people here really miss the simple things in life and he happened to mention in his e- mail candy. So coming up on Monday, we're going to have three people dressed as M&Ms all over the Metroplex and we're going to be collecting candy and send it to the troops.

ANNA: It's Operation Sweet Tooth.

COSTELLO: Oh, and it's not -- it's M&M the candy, not Eminem the rapper?

ANNA: Well, you never know. JEFF: Yes.

ANNA: We don't have a budget here.

(LAUGHTER)

COSTELLO: OK. Hey,...

JEFF: Yes, we'll add it. If we'll add his new record, I'm sure he'll show up.

COSTELLO: I'm sure, oh yes.

Hey, Jeff and Anna, thank you very much.

ANNA: Thank you.

COSTELLO: It was fun as always.
