  SPEAKER_00: If you're a if you're that if you're that butthole of a person, can you just shut your lights off and not not be that?
• 1:05
  SPEAKER_01: I feel like that is one of those like old wives' tale things.
• 1:09
  SPEAKER_01: I've never known anyone to ever have a syringe or a drug or anything like that in their candy.
• 1:16
  SPEAKER_01: I feel like that's just a tale that we've told so many times over the years that it's actually not true.
• 1:21
  SPEAKER_00: Well, you and I covered this a few years back.
• 1:23
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, sure, is it always wise to do a quick eyeball over the candy?
• 1:27
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, of course, it's not gonna hurt anything.
• 1:29
  SPEAKER_00: Uh, but the the thing about it is we we had told the story that there was research done.
• 1:34
  SPEAKER_00: All those old urban legends about razor blades and apples and and things like that were they like exploded from one thing that might have happened in 1953, which we'll also spin for the birthday wheel this year if we uh get there tomorrow.
• 1:49
  SPEAKER_00: But anyway, um, but uh it it was like one thing that happened in, you know, um podunk, uh, you know, Iowa back in the day, and then it it erupted everywhere.
• 1:59
  SPEAKER_00: Which look, you know what?
• 2:00
  SPEAKER_00: Be cautious.
• 2:01
  SPEAKER_00: I'm not saying don't be cautious, but here's I'm speaking directly to the criminals now, and I know that's a huge four uh uh section of our audience.
• 2:08
  SPEAKER_00: Um listen, if you decide to do something stupid, you're the easiest person to catch on Halloween because we know the route the kids took.
• 2:17
  SPEAKER_00: So we can grab the cops and be like, it's one of these five houses.
• 2:21
  SPEAKER_01: But it's more than five.
• 2:23
  SPEAKER_01: There actually have been some isolated incidences of first we'll start with razor blades.
• 2:29
  SPEAKER_01: Razor razor blades were found in a bag in 2025, 2022, and 2019.
• 2:34
  SPEAKER_01: All in different places like Eugene, Oregon, uh Gilroy, California, Waterbury, Connecticut.
• 2:40
  SPEAKER_01: Nothing here.
• 2:40
  SPEAKER_01: You're gonna know the house that gave you the apple.
• 2:44
  SPEAKER_01: So it's gonna be easy to catch this person.
• 2:46
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, that's what you're stupid.
• 2:48
  SPEAKER_01: Well, I wasn't even thinking apple, I was just thinking candy, but the famous 1974 case of the poisoned Halloween candy in Deer Park Park, Texas did result in a child's death.
• 2:59
  SPEAKER_01: But it was committed by the boy's own father.
• 3:02
  SPEAKER_01: Oh for life insurance money, not by a stranger.
• 3:06
  SPEAKER_00: Jeez.
• 3:06
  SPEAKER_01: Whoa, I never knew that.
• 3:08
  SPEAKER_00: Wow, that's how is there not a documentary on that?

  SPEAKER_00: Now on Netflix, the O'Brien case.
• 3:19
  SPEAKER_01: Now, have the there as there ever been drugs in Halloween?
• 3:26
  SPEAKER_00: This unfortunately, I'm sure, is something that happens more often than say the razor blade.
• 3:31
  SPEAKER_01: Hold on, listen to this.
• 3:33
  SPEAKER_01: No, there are no verified documented cases of a stranger randomly giving out drug-lace candy to children while trick-or-treating.
• 3:40
  SPEAKER_00: Wow.
• 3:41
  SPEAKER_01: That's the one that's more of the urban legend, my friend.

  SPEAKER_00: You're just it's stupid.
• 3:56
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, they can they can I mean, even if you get even if it happened, to to say you went to two blocks, trick-or-treating, well, the cops could knock on each and every door.
• 4:05
  SPEAKER_00: And to be able to say, we're gonna do just bring the drug-sniffing dog, they'd figure it out right away.
• 4:10
  SPEAKER_00: They'd be like, You're the one.
• 4:11
  SPEAKER_01: Well, and the innocence of a child.
• 4:12
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yeah.
• 4:13

  SPEAKER_00: What are you thinking here?
• 6:16
  SPEAKER_00: Uh, but did go on to say this.
• 6:18
  SPEAKER_00: This is interesting, and this is why we need a documentary on that story you told about the O'Brien case from 1974, where this dad basically he laced his kids' candy.
• 6:28
  SPEAKER_00: What laced it or raised?
• 6:30
  SPEAKER_00: What did he do?
• 6:30
  SPEAKER_00: He put razor blades.

  SPEAKER_00: What a scumbag.
• 6:34
  SPEAKER_00: 3836 says, uh, wasn't it Pixie Sticks where the drugs were put in?
• 6:39
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, so no.
• 6:40
  SPEAKER_00: Ellie just said there's no verifiable proof, uh the reported anywhere that there were drugs ever in candy, but the razor blade story apparently stems from 1974.
• 6:50
  SPEAKER_00: Correct.
• 6:50
  SPEAKER_00: And now we need a documentary.
