SPEAKER_02: Like we are a part of the problem of Halloween costumes online.
0:43
SPEAKER_00: It's not a problem though, because it's so entertaining.
0:45
SPEAKER_00: Like I literally love it.
0:47
SPEAKER_00: When I'm watching them, I'm laughing because people get into such niche characters, and then they do the sound, and I'm like, yeah, yeah.
0:56
SPEAKER_00: That is so good.
0:57
SPEAKER_02: When it comes to Halloween, like Halloween, I I think we did it early on about like we like tiered our favorite holidays.
1:06
SPEAKER_02: When Halloween does come around, top.
1:11
SPEAKER_02: I've didn't really it's number two for me.

SPEAKER_00: I feel like parties are fun.
1:23
SPEAKER_02: We haven't really had as many parties since kids, but we still like have a good time.
1:27
SPEAKER_02: It's not to say that we're not.
1:29
SPEAKER_00: I feel like this was our first Halloween season so far where like we did a lot with the kids.
1:33
SPEAKER_00: Like we did the pumpkin patch, we did like the classic things, but then we did the Accrochure Stadium Steelers.
1:39
SPEAKER_02: Spooky spectacular.
1:41
SPEAKER_00: Spooky spectacular, whatever that was.
1:42
SPEAKER_02: Which I was very surprised.
1:43
SPEAKER_02: We showed up, it was on a Tuesday this past week, and the Steelers played on a Sunday in Paris, and there were active players that played in the game on Sunday.
1:52
SPEAKER_00: That were there.
1:53
SPEAKER_02: That were there.
1:54
SPEAKER_02: But I came to find out because the team that they were playing were flying in on Sunday.
1:59
SPEAKER_02: Uh Steelers flew in on Friday.
2:01
SPEAKER_02: So I didn't even get to experience Paris.
2:03
SPEAKER_02: Well, maybe they're staying there.
2:07
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
2:07
SPEAKER_02: Neither here or there.
2:09
SPEAKER_02: But it was great.
2:10
SPEAKER_02: Like, yeah, we got to do a lot of cool things.
2:13
SPEAKER_02: The fun fact about this Halloween in particular, it's not gonna Halloween is never gonna hit a Saturday until we're like close to like our 50s.
2:26
SPEAKER_02: Oh yeah, it like skips because of the leap year.
2:29
SPEAKER_02: So we're not gonna experience another Halloween until we'll get a Friday night until the 2030s.
2:34
SPEAKER_02: Like mid-2030s.
2:35
SPEAKER_02: It's about I think it's I'm correct me if I'm wrong, but it's about 12 years.
2:40
SPEAKER_00: You should have checked your times before you announced that.
2:42
SPEAKER_02: No, but I've seen it online saying like it was one of the it's one of the Halloween posts that comes up that it's not coming for another 12 years.
2:51
SPEAKER_00: That's crazy.
2:52
SPEAKER_02: So I don't know.
2:53
SPEAKER_00: No, but it's unfortunate.
2:55
SPEAKER_00: Our kids have been loving it.
2:56
SPEAKER_00: They've been dressing up T-Rex and Marie.
2:58
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.

3:25
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, don't get me started on him getting in the I mean he's been in the dinosaurs for a couple months within the last week.
3:33
SPEAKER_02: I to no fault than my own, I looked up a video game that has dinosaurs in it.
3:41
SPEAKER_02: And there was a Jurassic, like world dominion type of, I don't know what I think that's the name of it.
3:48
SPEAKER_02: Okay, it's basically dinosaurs, but the Sims game version of hosting your own Jurassic Park, essentially.
3:59
SPEAKER_02: So um I'm building fences, I'm building crops for the dinosaurs.
4:04
SPEAKER_02: I'm not I'm not even a dinosaur.
4:06
SPEAKER_02: I am all the people that work in the dinosaur land, and then uh a sandstorm came through, and now I have to rebuild the dinosaur land to make it good for him.
4:19
SPEAKER_00: It's that doesn't not sound fun.
4:21
SPEAKER_02: I'm not he hasn't played a lick of it.
4:23
SPEAKER_02: He just watches me play it, and I'm gonna be honest, I like playing video games.

4:32
SPEAKER_02: Like, Dan, let's go play that video game.
4:34
SPEAKER_02: Like, yeah, let's go for a little bit.
4:36
SPEAKER_02: Like, I don't know what's about to become of me.
4:39
SPEAKER_02: I'm about to become a gira, I'm about to be a park owner of a Jurassic Park land that is not going good in any shape of the imagination.
4:46
SPEAKER_00: Well, at least you and Tyson are making memories together.
4:49
SPEAKER_02: That's the main thing.
4:50
SPEAKER_02: I'm there this Saturday.
4:51
SPEAKER_02: Today I'm a stepbrother.
4:52
SPEAKER_02: I don't know why when they ship these that I have an extremely blonde wig.
4:57
SPEAKER_02: Because neither Will Farrell or John C.
4:59
SPEAKER_02: Riley have hair like this.
5:01
SPEAKER_00: No, I think that's just like we bought the Amazon version.
5:05
SPEAKER_02: It's like and it came.
5:07
SPEAKER_02: It it was either it could have been a little bit dark blonde.
5:10
SPEAKER_00: It could have been like a sandy blonde, it would have been fine.
5:12
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, it's fine.
5:13
SPEAKER_02: It is what it is.
5:14
SPEAKER_02: Anywhere, if before we get into the story, if you haven't bought your tickets to the big one and game show, be sure to do that.

5:24
SPEAKER_00: Well, we're we're like three-fourths of the way.
5:26
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
5:27
SPEAKER_00: I think we will sell out.
5:28
SPEAKER_00: I'm very excited.
5:29
SPEAKER_00: We've been looking at the list.
5:30
SPEAKER_00: There's now we are starting to get some people that we know, but like the first half, it was like, oh.
5:36
SPEAKER_02: People that are listening in, following you along.
5:39
SPEAKER_02: Which is kind of cool.
5:40
SPEAKER_02: We can't wait to see you all there.
5:41
SPEAKER_02: Can't wait to have some fun.
5:42
SPEAKER_02: We got a lot of cool games.
5:44
SPEAKER_02: We've tried them out and we showed a couple of the games online.
5:47
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
5:48
SPEAKER_02: So we'll see how it fares for the first time.
5:50
SPEAKER_02: Shout out Fireside Events.
5:52
SPEAKER_02: They are our exclusive title sponsor of the event.
5:58
SPEAKER_02: DJ Eric is going to be on the DJ booth.
6:01
SPEAKER_00: Yep.
6:02
SPEAKER_00: Dominating.
6:03
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, he is.
6:03
SPEAKER_00: It's going to be great.
6:04
SPEAKER_00: I'm very excited.
6:05
SPEAKER_00: I think it's coming together.
6:07
SPEAKER_00: It's a lot to do.
6:08
SPEAKER_00: Like we've basically planned it in 45 days.
6:10
SPEAKER_00: From like the idea to actually like it coming to fruition is like about 45 days, maybe a little bit longer.
6:16
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
6:16
SPEAKER_00: But I'm excited to see it come together and share with you guys like the final product.
6:20
SPEAKER_00: And I hope everybody that comes has a really good time.
6:22
SPEAKER_00: This is such a simple idea, but such a good one for weddings.
6:25
SPEAKER_00: Wedding Snap gives you one QR code that you can put right on your tables, and your guests can scan it and instantly upload all of the photos and videos they take throughout the night.
6:33
SPEAKER_00: No app to download and no sign-up required.
6:35
SPEAKER_00: And we all know your photographer can't be everywhere.
6:37
SPEAKER_00: So this is how you can get all of those hilarious dance floor videos, pictures of the kids' table, random candid moments, and even voice messages from your guests that you otherwise might never see.
6:46
SPEAKER_00: You can even have a live slideshow during your reception.
6:49
SPEAKER_00: It takes about two minutes to set up.
6:50
SPEAKER_00: You get full resolution downloads, and it's only$39.99 one time, no subscription.
6:54
SPEAKER_00: If you want to try wedding snap for your wedding, use code WEDPROCAST10 for 10% off.
7:00
SPEAKER_00: Again, that's Wed ProCast10 for 10% off.
7:03
SPEAKER_00: We'll have all the details linked in the show notes for you.
7:05
SPEAKER_00: All right, time to get into the story.
7:07
SPEAKER_00: I tell this story as a warning to any person who is planning a wedding to double check what's happening to your venue, including the decorations and the days prior to your wedding and even the days after.
7:17
SPEAKER_00: This can be applicable to any holiday or season, but unfortunately to me, it was Halloween.
7:21
SPEAKER_00: I booked my wedding at a venue in town that had a church next door, and it was scheduled for early October.
7:27
SPEAKER_00: I booked way in advance because I know how early October can fill up.
7:31
SPEAKER_00: I want to specify that this weekend was the first week in October, not Halloween weekend, and it was on a Saturday.
7:37
SPEAKER_00: As we approached the end of planning, I would say August or September time frame, I asked the venue if there would be any seasonal decorations up.
7:45
SPEAKER_00: I was leaning into a fall harvest theme.
7:48
SPEAKER_00: Think pumpkins, autumnal color scheme, candles, and lots of gold accents.
7:52
SPEAKER_00: I asked about the decorations because if there was any existing decor that would be in place, I could feed into that.
7:58
SPEAKER_00: I had planned on purchasing mums and small orange and white pumpkins to sprinkle into my ceremony and reception areas.
8:04
SPEAKER_00: My venue came back in writing, I must say, and they said, no, we don't add any extra decor onto the walls or event areas, and to not rely on the venue at all to provide anything like that.
8:15
SPEAKER_00: Not a problem.
8:16
SPEAKER_00: I was just double checking to make sure I didn't buy something that would already be in the venue.
8:20
SPEAKER_00: So I went out and I purchased everything I need.
8:22
SPEAKER_00: We had booked the day, the venue for a Friday night decorating, Saturday all day and night, and then Sunday morning for cleanup.
8:28
SPEAKER_00: We had family and friends that would be helping us to set everything up and clean everything up.
8:32
SPEAKER_00: So having the night before and the night after were very important and very helpful so that we could really have a stress-free wedding day.
8:38
SPEAKER_00: Our venue coordinator confirmed all of this with us and told us the instructions for loading in all of our decorations and cleaning up.
8:46
SPEAKER_00: Friday night rolled around and we showed up for the venue, and we noticed that the parking lot was coned off in several areas.
8:52
SPEAKER_00: We assumed it was from the event during the day, and everything would be cleared by the next morning.
8:56
SPEAKER_00: We went into the venue and were shocked to see the items hanging on the walls.
9:02
SPEAKER_00: Skeletons, which is in a huge black and orange balloon garland that had been secured to the archway in which all of our guests would enter the reception space.
9:10
SPEAKER_00: At first I did not panic because I figured it must be in relation to the event that was held during the day, just like the cones in the parking lot.
9:17
SPEAKER_00: I went back to our venue manager's office to ask when those items were going to be removed.
9:22
SPEAKER_00: And that's when she revealed that they would not be removed and that they were part of the seasonal decor that the venues decided to put up this year.
9:29
SPEAKER_00: That would piss me off so bad.
9:31
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, you can't just have that type of decor displayed.
9:37
SPEAKER_02: But like you can.
9:38
SPEAKER_02: You just can't have it for that, like a wedding.
9:41
SPEAKER_00: You can, but it's like she asked ahead of time to be like, are you gonna have any decor up?
9:45
SPEAKER_00: And they were like, No, we don't put any decor up.
9:47
SPEAKER_00: But then there's witches and skeletons.
9:50
SPEAKER_02: A fall decor around the place, I think, would be okay.
9:54
SPEAKER_02: But when when you put a little bit of a twist on it that's more spooky, I don't know if that's all right.
10:00
SPEAKER_00: No.
10:00
SPEAKER_00: My cousins, I think, had a hall, they actually had like a Halloween-themed wedding and it made sense.
10:05
SPEAKER_02: I love like I loved going to a Halloween-themed-esque wedding.
10:09
SPEAKER_02: Yes.
10:10
SPEAKER_02: Where you can be look like no one was dressing up in costume.
10:13
SPEAKER_00: But they had like the balloon garland, they had like candy apples, like it was very Halloween-y, where this girl's like, I'm doing autumn colors, but not Halloween.
10:22
SPEAKER_00: Those are two different things.
10:24
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
10:24
SPEAKER_02: Same, same but different.
10:25
SPEAKER_00: Yes.
10:26
SPEAKER_00: I was speechless for a moment because I had specifically asked about the decorations.
10:29
SPEAKER_00: The venue would be putting up, and they assured me that there would be none.
10:32
SPEAKER_00: So this was a shock to me.
10:34
SPEAKER_00: I pulled up her email in front of her and showed her what she had responded.
10:38
SPEAKER_00: And then she started getting snippy with me saying that they don't provide free decorations to their clients, and that's what she thought I was asking.
10:44
SPEAKER_00: I guess I could have been more clear, but I honestly was just asking to see if they had stuff because I didn't want to double buy or overload on decor that was already there and wasn't needed.
10:55
SPEAKER_00: I guess I should have been asking them what hideous Halloween decorations they were putting up on the walls.
10:59
SPEAKER_00: She kind of just ended the conversation and walked back to her desk to sit down and continue to work when I told her that I would like those items removed for my wedding day.
11:08
SPEAKER_00: And she started to argue with me, telling me that there was no way that these items were going to be removed because they were needed for the event on Sunday.
11:14
SPEAKER_00: They were having a Halloween vendor market and all of the decorations that had been hung up were provided by vendors that had a booth at the event.
11:21
SPEAKER_00: I was livid.
11:22
SPEAKER_00: That's when she had the audacity to then ask me if we could be out of the venue in the space fully by 9 a.m.
11:28
SPEAKER_00: on Sunday, since their vendor markout vendor market load-in was starting at 9 a.m.
11:33
SPEAKER_00: I reminded her of our contract in which we had the space on Sunday until noon so that we could properly clean up and pack all of our decorations.
11:41
SPEAKER_00: And she responded, I thought you would understand.
11:43
SPEAKER_00: This is an event for the community and the kids.
11:45
SPEAKER_00: I was so annoyed, and I told her that we would try our best, but we could not guarantee that we would be cleaned up by 9 a.m.
11:50
SPEAKER_00: after the wedding.
11:51
SPEAKER_00: Before I left her office, I asked if it was okay if we remove things as long as we put them back, and she agreed, thankfully.
11:58
SPEAKER_00: But it did add about two hours to our setup time.
12:01
SPEAKER_00: We had to leave up the balloon arch because we didn't want to damage anything that the vendor had provided.
12:06
SPEAKER_00: I just would be so mad at this.
12:08
SPEAKER_00: Like, I understand that the venue has an event the day before and the day after or whatever, but they rented it until noon.
12:17
SPEAKER_02: So like Yeah, this is your time for your space.
12:20
SPEAKER_02: Yes.
12:21
SPEAKER_02: You don't have to anything external was not, should not be your problem.
12:26
SPEAKER_02: No.
12:28
unknown: Okay.
12:28
SPEAKER_00: We got the space looking great.
12:30
SPEAKER_00: We had rehearsal and then we headed out.
12:31
SPEAKER_00: I was feeling good about the wedding day.
12:33
SPEAKER_00: The wedding was happening at 4 p.m.
12:35
SPEAKER_00: We were going to do some family photos and wedding party photos outside.
12:38
SPEAKER_00: So we got ready off site and the stretch limo picked us up around 1 30 p.m.
12:42
SPEAKER_00: to take us to the venue.
12:43
SPEAKER_00: That's when the limo driver told us that they had the road blocked off and and was trying to confirm if we were headed to the right place.
12:50
SPEAKER_00: That's when we saw it.
12:51
SPEAKER_00: Signs for extra parking, kids everywhere in costumes, and huge blow-up things in the distance.
12:56
SPEAKER_00: As we inched closer and closer, we learned that the venue had rented out the parking lot for a trunk or treat that day.
13:02
SPEAKER_00: Yep, a trunk or treat.
13:03
SPEAKER_00: We could barely get through to drop us off.
13:05
SPEAKER_00: It took us twenty minutes to get in the parking lot and safely around the ruckus of this event.
13:09
SPEAKER_00: I was livid again.
13:10
SPEAKER_00: My husband was mad, and both of our moms were even more upset.
13:13
SPEAKER_00: We stomped in and found our coordinator at her desk acting like nothing was wrong, and we demanded answers from her.
13:18
SPEAKER_00: Where and how were our ghosts guests supposed to enter?
13:21
SPEAKER_00: Ghosts.
13:22
SPEAKER_00: I know I'm in the Halloween spirit.
13:24
SPEAKER_00: Where and how were our guests supposed to enter?
13:26
SPEAKER_00: Why were we not told about the trunk retreat?
13:28
SPEAKER_00: And how did she expect to assist us in moving forward in our wedding day?
13:31
SPEAKER_00: She just batted her eyes and told us the event was over at 3 p.m.
13:34
SPEAKER_00: and our event didn't start until four, so there shouldn't be any problems or crossover.
13:38
SPEAKER_00: Except there were.
13:39
SPEAKER_00: We started to call everybody to warn them about the trunk or treat and give them alternate directions to a side parking lot.
13:46
SPEAKER_00: And we had to pivot from our outside pictures to inside because the outside was so chaotic, covered in tons of cars, trunk or treat, kids in costumes, and inflatables.
13:55
SPEAKER_00: It was seriously a mess.
13:57
SPEAKER_00: As we sus we expected, although the event ended at 3 p.m., cars still had to break down cleanup and vendors were trying to leave as all of our family and friends were arriving.
14:06
SPEAKER_00: It put a damper in the afternoon, I would say.
14:08
SPEAKER_00: We even delayed the start of our wedding ceremony by 20 minutes so my grand great aunt could get in.
14:13
SPEAKER_00: They had inflatables covering all of the handicapped spaces, so she had to park in the next slot over.
14:18
SPEAKER_00: Once the wedding finally started, all was good, but the and the event was joyous, but everything before that was not joyous.
14:24
SPEAKER_00: At the end of the night, our coordinator asked who would be taking all the items that night so that we would be ready, so that they could be ready for load-in in the morning.
14:31
SPEAKER_00: I reminded her that we had rented out the space the next day for our breakdown, in which all of a sudden she offered to do it for us so the space could be flipped in time.
14:40
SPEAKER_00: We did take her up on that offer and we swung by in the morning to get the rest of our items.
14:44
SPEAKER_00: About three days after the wedding, she sent us an email asking for us to leave a review.
14:49
SPEAKER_00: And when we left a two-star review based on our true experience and how we retreated, she tried to get us to get it removed.
14:56
SPEAKER_00: She contacted us and asked us to take it down.
14:59
SPEAKER_00: In return to her response, we asked her that we would like a refund for the Friday and Sunday rentals since she messed up both of those days.
15:07
SPEAKER_00: She tried to say, no way, we're not doing that, but eventually she caved and she finally refunded it.
15:13
SPEAKER_00: So take this as your sign to confirm in writing what seasonal decorations may be in place and what other events are happening so you can avoid a situation like this entirely.
15:22
SPEAKER_00: That was 100% on the venue.
15:25
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, it has I th like absolutely you have to be cognizant when it comes to planning a wedding, planning any type of event outside like when it's around a holiday.
15:38
SPEAKER_02: If it's a venue that's pretty well known, they might have an event that's happening around the holiday, but that's not on the people that's booking the venue.
15:46
SPEAKER_02: No.
15:47
SPEAKER_00: I do have to say, like working for a venue, when our seasons would come up, sometimes the museum team would be like, hey, we're moving this item and we're bringing in this holiday item.
15:58
SPEAKER_00: And we would have to alert our weddings.
16:01
SPEAKER_00: Like, hey, this is happening.
16:02
SPEAKER_00: And like they knew ahead of time.
16:04
SPEAKER_00: And if it ever got to the point where someone would be like really upset about it, like I probably could get them a refund.
16:10
SPEAKER_00: Like it was always done very tastefully, so it wasn't like terrible.
16:14
SPEAKER_00: But I mean, it's part of the venue's job to relay that information and be like, this is the changes, this is what's going on, so that the client can be prepared.
16:22
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I think it's certainly easier to inform people when it comes to that's like the Christmas season.
16:28
SPEAKER_02: Like that holiday season has a lot of decoration that goes on around.
16:32
SPEAKER_02: Like we worked in clubs and resorts.
16:35
SPEAKER_02: Whenever Thanksgiving ended, we had tree lighting ceremonies, we had events where the whole club, the whole resort got decked out in Christmas decor.
16:46
SPEAKER_02: They probably know that when they're booking in late November, December, even through the new year.
16:54
SPEAKER_02: But that stuff is going to be there.
16:56
SPEAKER_02: But honestly, I feel like people that are booking around that time probably are booking because it's around the holiday.
17:03
SPEAKER_00: It can also be a good thing.
17:03
SPEAKER_02: Every other external one might be a little different, especially during the fall.
17:07
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
17:07
SPEAKER_00: I feel like what you're saying, like when it's the holiday trees and the lights, like that can be such an enhancement from a wedding perspective, from like a decorator's perspective.
17:15
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
17:15
SPEAKER_00: Of like, wow, there's going to be twinkle lights on all the trees, or it's going to be like red and gold ornaments, and like our wedding's red and gold.
17:21
SPEAKER_00: Like it can tie into the theme if that's your wedding aesthetic.
17:25
SPEAKER_00: However, if that's not your wedding aesthetic and you're getting married close to a holiday or in a certain season where decor could be present, you should ask, like, what do you guys do so that you're aware?
17:35
SPEAKER_00: And the venue should be transparent.
17:36
SPEAKER_00: The venue shouldn't be like, oh, we don't do anything.
17:39
SPEAKER_00: And then you show up and there's freaking to the wall.
17:42
SPEAKER_00: I'd be like, no.
17:43
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, no, it's very clear that the venue messed up in this situation in terms of communication.
17:48
SPEAKER_00: I'm just thinking, like, I did a story on this, I think either last year or the year before, very similar, where like they planned a trunk or treat event.
17:56
SPEAKER_00: Like, I don't remember all the details, but there was a trunk or treat event outside planned at the same time as the ceremony, which was outside.
18:02
SPEAKER_00: So there's like music and sounds from the trunk or treat happening while someone's trying to get married on like the side patio.
18:10
SPEAKER_00: Like, I would be so pissed.
18:12
SPEAKER_00: Like, I'm not doing that.
18:14
SPEAKER_00: Refund me.
18:15
SPEAKER_02: All right.
18:15
SPEAKER_02: Our next segment is Halloween hot takes.
18:19
SPEAKER_02: I'm ready.
18:22
SPEAKER_02: I have a cavalcade of items that I'm gonna share with you.
18:27
SPEAKER_02: And then you say, Hey, I like it, I don't like it.
18:30
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
18:31
SPEAKER_02: Candy corn is actually good.
18:34
SPEAKER_00: I have to agree with that.
18:35
SPEAKER_00: I'm I'm a candy corn fan.
18:37
SPEAKER_02: I do not understand the dislike about candy corn.
18:41
SPEAKER_02: There was a moment, like I grew up loving candy corn.
18:44
SPEAKER_02: And then I I turned about 17 or 18, and then all of a sudden, candy corn became this terrible candy.
18:52
SPEAKER_02: No one liked it.
18:53
SPEAKER_02: You know what the good candy is of the candy corn?
18:56
SPEAKER_02: The candy pumpkin corn.
18:57
SPEAKER_00: Oh, yeah, candy pumpkin corn.
18:59
SPEAKER_00: My grandma used to get that.
19:00
SPEAKER_02: You get more.
19:01
SPEAKER_00: You get more fat candy corn.
19:03
SPEAKER_00: And what about the candy corn with the chocolate?
19:06
SPEAKER_00: That's what I don't understand.
19:08
SPEAKER_02: Like the candy corn controversy shouldn't have even been a thing.
19:13
SPEAKER_02: There should always have been a staple about Halloween.
19:16
SPEAKER_02: You don't if I now if I had candy corn outside of October, there's a problem with that.
19:23
SPEAKER_02: Like, okay, you might like candy corn a little bit too much.
19:25
SPEAKER_02: I don't I don't need candy corn all the time.
19:28
SPEAKER_00: Candy corn is like a Halloween time, fall time.
19:31
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
19:32
SPEAKER_02: October 1st to November 1st.
19:34
SPEAKER_02: I'll give an extra day.
19:36
SPEAKER_02: After that, put it away.
19:37
SPEAKER_02: Put it away.
19:38
SPEAKER_00: Agreed.
19:39
SPEAKER_00: I'll agree with you on that.
19:42
SPEAKER_02: Tic-tacking.
19:44
SPEAKER_02: What's your take on that?
19:48
SPEAKER_00: I don't even I don't even I don't even know what tic-tacking is.
19:51
SPEAKER_02: You don't know what tic-tacking is?
19:52
SPEAKER_00: Oh, does this have to do with corn?
19:53
SPEAKER_00: I think you told me about this one.
19:54
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, like it's a PA thing.
19:56
SPEAKER_02: It might be people that live in places where it dries up corn.
20:00
SPEAKER_02: And then you you get a batch of it and then you would throw it at people's houses.
20:04
SPEAKER_02: And then you'd run.
20:06
SPEAKER_00: I honestly feel like tic-tacking's better than teepee-ing.
20:08
SPEAKER_00: Like I would rather get tic-tacked than teepeed.
20:11
SPEAKER_02: When I grew up, I would I didn't know what tic-tacking was.
20:14
SPEAKER_02: All of a sudden, like this is me before I was a tic-tacker himself.
20:19
SPEAKER_02: I would throw or people would throw it at our house.
20:21
SPEAKER_02: We're like, oh, you look outside, you get a a rumble of dried up corn on your front porch.
20:28
SPEAKER_02: You walk outside and there's just cool dried up corn on your front porch.
20:31
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, like what's the worst that's gonna happen?
20:33
SPEAKER_00: A squirrel's gonna come up and eat it.
20:34
SPEAKER_00: Like, sure.
20:35
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, it's edible.
20:36
SPEAKER_02: Not for people.
20:37
SPEAKER_02: Maybe if you want to make popcorn, you got popcorn.
20:39
SPEAKER_00: I'm just like, that's better than someone coming and putting a bunch of toilet paper all over your trees.
20:44
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, that's clean up.
20:45
SPEAKER_02: Cleanup for for toilet paper, corn, not okay.
20:48
SPEAKER_02: When I was a tick, I was an avid tic-tacker in high school.
20:52
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
20:52
SPEAKER_02: I would you would figure out the houses you would do it for.
20:56
SPEAKER_02: Like, oh, it's Mrs.
20:58
SPEAKER_02: Jones's house.
20:59
SPEAKER_02: Let's get 'em.
21:00
SPEAKER_00: We were TPers, but not.
21:01
SPEAKER_02: You were a TPer?
21:02
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, not a tick-taker.
21:03
SPEAKER_02: Oh, you were a bad kid.
21:04
SPEAKER_02: I was a tic-tacker.
21:05
SPEAKER_00: I wasn't a bad kid.
21:06
SPEAKER_02: I just You just went along with the you kept up with the Joneses as the.
21:11
SPEAKER_00: I was just leading the brigade, I think, of the TP.
21:13
SPEAKER_02: Oh my gosh.
21:14
SPEAKER_02: I used to snowball cars with people.
21:18
SPEAKER_00: Driving?
21:18
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
21:19
SPEAKER_00: Not safe.
21:19
SPEAKER_00: That's a problem.
21:20
SPEAKER_00: Not safe.
21:21
SPEAKER_02: Not safe.
21:21
SPEAKER_02: No.
21:22
SPEAKER_02: But we did do it.
21:23
SPEAKER_02: We were kids.
21:24
SPEAKER_02: Okay.
21:24
SPEAKER_02: We were kids.
21:26
SPEAKER_00: Fair.
21:26
SPEAKER_02: There should not be an age limit on people that trick-or-treat.
21:30
SPEAKER_00: I think the age limit should be like 17, 18.
21:33
SPEAKER_00: Like once you're an adult, you shouldn't be trick-or-treating around a bunch of kids.
21:36
SPEAKER_00: Period.
21:37
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
21:38
SPEAKER_00: Like.
21:38
SPEAKER_00: But when there's like a freshman in high school that goes around and trick or treats, they're dressed up.
21:42
SPEAKER_00: I'm like, why are we saying they can't trick or treat?
21:45
SPEAKER_02: I cool.
21:46
SPEAKER_02: I agree.
21:47
SPEAKER_02: There are people that love Halloween and want to trick or treat that are a little bit older than middle school age.
21:53
SPEAKER_02: They're in high school.
21:54
SPEAKER_02: I think I stopped trick-or-treating after middle school.
21:57
SPEAKER_00: Same.
21:57
SPEAKER_02: But if there's someone that loves Halloween, Is a holiday and there's they're a kid in high school and they love it, yes.
22:05
SPEAKER_02: But whenever you have those kids that show up to your house that are taking multiple things of your candy, and then you have to be the adult to say, Hey, I said one piece.
22:16
SPEAKER_02: And they're an they're a 14, 15 plus year old.
22:22
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, you're a problem.
22:24
SPEAKER_02: I'm never gonna tell a a kid to not I I say, hey, one piece, everyone grab one.
22:30
SPEAKER_02: If a little kid doesn't abide by my rules, I'm not gonna be like, hey, give it back bring that back.
22:36
SPEAKER_02: But if a high schooler does, you're grown up enough to not take a piece.
22:41
SPEAKER_00: I do agree with like the fact that you just follow the rules.
22:45
SPEAKER_00: Like we usually do, I would say we do a couple buckets, and most of the time it gets it's gone by the time we get back.
22:53
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, we haven't we have a lot of people.
22:54
SPEAKER_02: Our mistake, like us as a household, is we trick-or-treat with our kids together because they're young, they're at the point of the they're at the age where they can't go trick-or-treat alone.
23:05
SPEAKER_00: No.
23:06
SPEAKER_02: They're five and almost three years old.
23:08
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, they can't go alone.
23:10
SPEAKER_02: So we have to leave our candy unmanned unmanned, which is a problem.
23:17
SPEAKER_02: But whenever we come back, because our kids don't spend the extent of the hours that are spent trick-or-treating out, which near the end is where the older kids come.
23:26
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
23:27
SPEAKER_02: And I'm there.
23:28
SPEAKER_02: And I'm you're monitoring.
23:30
SPEAKER_02: I'm monitoring at that point.
23:32
SPEAKER_02: And I'm letting them know.
23:33
SPEAKER_02: Hey, whoa, whoa, bring that back.
23:35
SPEAKER_02: I have done it a couple times.
23:36
SPEAKER_02: No.
23:37
SPEAKER_02: And I've listened to Steve, our neighbor.
23:39
SPEAKER_02: Shout out Steve.
23:40
SPEAKER_02: He got mentioned in every episode now.
23:42
SPEAKER_02: Full-size candy bars are an unnecessary flex.
23:46
SPEAKER_00: I would say yes.
23:47
SPEAKER_00: In this economy, we don't need to be doing full-size candy bars.
23:51
SPEAKER_02: Do I love to show up to a house that has them?
23:53
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
23:54
SPEAKER_02: You knew that, hey, whenever I go through it, we have a house in particular in our neighborhood that this the this family goes all in on.
24:03
SPEAKER_00: Are you talking about the haunted house one?
24:05
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
24:05
SPEAKER_02: Well, even like the whole month of October, they have a whole graveyard in their front yard.
24:11
SPEAKER_02: And they put things like hang off the trees, like they do all kinds of things.
24:16
SPEAKER_02: But then when trick-or-treat night comes around, they build their garage as a haunted house.
24:24
SPEAKER_02: So they already go above and beyond as is.
24:27
SPEAKER_02: They can give me the smallest piece of candy and they've already done enough.
24:31
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
24:31
SPEAKER_02: But they give full-size candy bars at the end.
24:33
SPEAKER_02: So you all, whenever you're a kid, you know the house that gives full size.
24:37
SPEAKER_02: But as an adult, I'm like, all right, I'm not doing it because you're doing it.
24:43
SPEAKER_00: Right.
24:43
SPEAKER_02: There's certain people that should be doing it.
24:45
SPEAKER_02: I think people that without kids should be giving me full-size candy bars.
24:48
SPEAKER_00: If they can afford it.
24:49
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
24:49
SPEAKER_02: And they're not even a family that has kids, like, doesn't have kids.
24:52
SPEAKER_02: They definitely don't know.
24:53
SPEAKER_00: No.
24:53
SPEAKER_00: I do think it's so nice when people do it, but I'm like, I do not think that should be the standard.
24:57
SPEAKER_00: I don't think people should feel bad for not giving full-size candy bars.
25:00
SPEAKER_00: We do not get full-size candy bars.
25:02
SPEAKER_02: I will shout out my uncle.
25:03
SPEAKER_02: May he rest in peace.
25:04
SPEAKER_02: But he was one of them that did it.
25:06
SPEAKER_02: Uncle George.
25:07
SPEAKER_02: And he would have like boxes on boxes of full-size candy bars.
25:12
SPEAKER_02: I love that.
25:12
SPEAKER_02: And I didn't trick-or-treat in that neighborhood, but he would slide me a few just because I was there.
25:19
SPEAKER_02: Like I would go visit.
25:21
SPEAKER_02: Halloween decorations should never go up before October 1st.
25:27
SPEAKER_00: I think I'm on board with that.
25:29
SPEAKER_00: I agree.
25:29
SPEAKER_00: Like Halloween is like a limited holiday.
25:32
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
25:33
SPEAKER_02: You need to I think if you put fall decor before October 1st, absolutely fine.
25:40
SPEAKER_02: But I don't need to see the spooky trees until then.
25:44
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I'm like, October's the month for like the spooky stuff.
25:48
SPEAKER_00: And then once Halloween's over, like within a week of Halloween, I'm like, take the spooky stuff down.
25:53
SPEAKER_00: Now it needs to be like either fall friendly, Thanksgiving themed, or transitioning into Christmas theme.
26:00
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, well.
26:00
SPEAKER_02: That's my thought.
26:01
SPEAKER_02: I think outside Christmas decor, we'll probably get into this whenever we start and getting to the Christmas season.
26:06
SPEAKER_02: Outside Christmas decor comes after Thanksgiving.
26:10
SPEAKER_02: Inside Christmas, you can do whatever after October 31st, in my opinion.
26:14
SPEAKER_00: I'm not trying to see your spooky tree on Thanksgiving.
26:17
SPEAKER_00: No.
26:17
SPEAKER_00: Take it down.
26:18
SPEAKER_02: No.
26:19
SPEAKER_02: But I don't need to see it whenever the autumnal equinox hits in late September.
26:26
SPEAKER_02: Agreed.
26:27
SPEAKER_02: October, like when when I hear the word October, I just think Halloween.
26:32
SPEAKER_02: When I hear the word September, I think fall.
26:36
SPEAKER_02: So that's my stance.
26:38
SPEAKER_00: I'm on board.
26:39
SPEAKER_02: Inflatable yard decorations are tacky.
26:42
SPEAKER_00: Disagree.
26:43
SPEAKER_02: Disagree.
26:43
SPEAKER_02: We got three of them.
26:44
SPEAKER_02: We got four of them.
26:45
SPEAKER_00: We're we're an inflatable kingdom over in our primary area.
26:48
SPEAKER_02: Well, I love well.
26:50
SPEAKER_00: Our kids love them.
26:51
SPEAKER_02: That's it's a kid thing.
26:53
SPEAKER_02: Like kids love to see them.
26:55
SPEAKER_02: They love to play with them.
26:56
SPEAKER_02: They love to look at them.
26:57
SPEAKER_02: They love to hug them.
26:58
SPEAKER_00: I'm like, may they be tacky?
26:59
SPEAKER_00: Probably.
27:00
SPEAKER_02: No, they're but like Yeah, I guess the question is, are they tacky?
27:03
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, they're tacky.
27:04
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, they're tacky, but I love them.
27:05
SPEAKER_00: In our neighborhood, a lot of the houses have them.
27:07
SPEAKER_00: And like you could be like, oh, I look at this one.
27:09
SPEAKER_00: Like the kids love seeing that in the skeleton.
27:11
SPEAKER_02: Like we have a giant, we don't have it.
27:13
SPEAKER_02: Sorry.
27:13
SPEAKER_02: On our street, we have a giant Frankenstein.
27:15
SPEAKER_02: Oh yeah.
27:16
SPEAKER_02: Like I'll bring my daughter back from school before we walk in.
27:19
SPEAKER_02: Like, can we go see can we go see the big monster?
27:22
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
27:22
SPEAKER_02: Like, yeah, we can.
27:23
SPEAKER_02: We can.
27:24
SPEAKER_02: The giant Home Depot skeleton is worth the money.
27:28
SPEAKER_00: We don't have one, but I would say yeah.
27:30
SPEAKER_00: I feel like they're in.
27:30
SPEAKER_02: They're very expensive.
27:32
SPEAKER_00: I haven't looked at the price.
27:34
SPEAKER_02: They're about like they're 100 bucks?
27:36
SPEAKER_02: No.
27:36
SPEAKER_02: Well, they're a couple hundred bucks.
27:38
SPEAKER_02: But where do you store it after?
27:42
SPEAKER_00: I saw this at Home Depot.
27:43
SPEAKER_00: They have a giant, you know, we have like storage bins.
27:46
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
27:46
SPEAKER_00: They have this giant one.
27:48
SPEAKER_00: And specifically, yes.
27:49
SPEAKER_00: And the storage.
27:50
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
27:50
SPEAKER_00: And I did look at the storage bin because I was like, oh, that's giant.
27:53
SPEAKER_00: And it was like over a hundred bucks for the storage bin.
27:55
SPEAKER_02: Well, that's the issue.
27:56
SPEAKER_00: I I feel that the other thing with the giant skeletons is like I would be worried it would blow over.
28:01
SPEAKER_00: It's not like a four-foot inflatable where like if that thing's gone, like it's it's not hurting anything.
28:05
SPEAKER_00: The giant skeleton could fall and like it can withstand this test of time.
28:09
SPEAKER_00: But it could like hurt someone if it gets blown over, like hits hits your car.
28:14
SPEAKER_00: I'm like, I don't know.
28:15
SPEAKER_02: You think it's like a Tyrannosaurus Rex?
28:18
SPEAKER_00: No, but I'm just saying, like, yeah, I would I don't really want to purchase one.
28:22
SPEAKER_00: I do love seeing them though.
28:24
SPEAKER_00: Like when people have them in their yards, I'm like, oh look.
28:26
SPEAKER_02: It's another thing that I do with my daughter bringing her back from school.
28:29
SPEAKER_02: Can I go see the giant skeleton?
28:32
SPEAKER_02: I'm like, of course we can.
28:34
SPEAKER_02: Of course we can.
28:36
SPEAKER_02: Couples' costumes that are overrated.
28:40
SPEAKER_00: I don't think so.
28:41
SPEAKER_00: I like when people coordinate.
28:42
SPEAKER_00: Like, if you don't coordinate, cool.
28:44
SPEAKER_00: But if you coordinate with your partner, I'm like, hell yeah.
28:46
SPEAKER_02: The way that I look at couples' costumes, you can either be like funny.
28:51
SPEAKER_02: Here we are.
28:51
SPEAKER_02: We're step brothers today.
28:53
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
28:53
SPEAKER_00: I like funny ones.
28:54
SPEAKER_02: But whenever you're being sexual, I'm like, all right.
28:58
SPEAKER_02: No one needs to know you guys are banging.
29:00
SPEAKER_02: Like it's like we know you're an item, but we yeah, Peter Peter.
29:03
SPEAKER_00: Somebody's the pumpkin.
29:04
SPEAKER_02: The Peter Peter pumpkin eater might be the worst outfit to date.
29:08
SPEAKER_00: Some of those I'm like, Yeah.
29:10
SPEAKER_02: Don't make it sexual.
29:11
SPEAKER_02: Like the the outlet and the plug that goes into the outlet.
29:15
SPEAKER_02: Like we already, you're a couple.
29:17
SPEAKER_02: Unless you are, if you're very religious, you're probably not even banging.
29:24
SPEAKER_02: Like I don't need to know that you guys are an item like that.
29:28
SPEAKER_00: Well, it's also just like, well, I don't, it's pe everyone's humor is different.
29:32
SPEAKER_00: We wouldn't dress in something like that, but like I know people that would.
29:35
SPEAKER_00: And I'd be like, oh.
29:36
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
29:36
SPEAKER_00: Like every time we've done a that's more of like a boomer costume.
29:40
SPEAKER_00: Like the humor level level of like our generation.
29:44
SPEAKER_00: I don't think anyone's eating that pumpkin eater costume.
29:47
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, we look up like I saw somebody that did the bad bunny and someone was the leaves.
29:52
SPEAKER_02: That was funny.
29:53
SPEAKER_02: It was a good one.
29:54
SPEAKER_02: Hilarious.
29:54
SPEAKER_02: People our humor is being uh like we were mermaid man and barnacle boy one time.
30:00
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
30:00
SPEAKER_02: Like that's that's a couple costumes that I like.
30:03
SPEAKER_02: Whenever you're making it sexual about sexual relations, not it.
30:13
SPEAKER_02: Trunk or treat has ruined traditional trick or treating.
30:17
SPEAKER_00: I don't think anything can ruin traditional trick or treat.
30:20
SPEAKER_02: Trunk or treating is on its way though.
30:22
SPEAKER_00: I hate it.
30:23
SPEAKER_02: It's the it's the new wave.
30:27
SPEAKER_00: But for what reason?
30:28
SPEAKER_00: Like that's why we live in our house.
30:29
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
30:30
SPEAKER_00: So we can have trick or treat.
30:32
SPEAKER_02: I like trunk or treating.
30:33
SPEAKER_02: If I need to go to a parking lot to take my kids to get candy, what are we what are we doing here?
30:44
SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
30:44
SPEAKER_00: Our kids have never been to one.
30:46
SPEAKER_00: I have no interest in attending one.
30:48
SPEAKER_00: And like we're not part of any or like I bet you when you're part of like an organization that's like, hey, we're all gonna get together and do a trunk or treat that like maybe that's something fun.
30:57
SPEAKER_00: But like right now, I'm like not interested.
30:59
SPEAKER_02: Sounds like boring.com.
31:01
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
31:02
SPEAKER_02: Boring.com.
31:03
SPEAKER_02: Trunk or treating is and this is definitely like I'm definitely talking way out of tone.
31:11
SPEAKER_02: One of the worst things ever happened to our country.
31:15
SPEAKER_00: It's terrible.
31:16
SPEAKER_00: I would say I I'm not a fan of the trunk treat.
31:19
SPEAKER_02: Keep it traditional, like let the kids run around their own neighborhood.
31:22
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
31:23
SPEAKER_02: Coupled with that, should kids be allowed to trick-or-treat in neighborhoods that are not their own.
31:31
SPEAKER_00: I mean, I don't care.
31:34
SPEAKER_00: I used to be one of those kids that went to the rich people neighborhood.
31:37
SPEAKER_00: I was like, I didn't live in a neighborhood.
31:38
SPEAKER_00: I lived on a busy street.
31:39
SPEAKER_00: I wasn't gonna trick-or-treat there.
31:41
SPEAKER_00: There's nowhere to trick-or-treat.
31:42
SPEAKER_00: So we would go to the rich people neighborhood when we knew what the trick-or-treat was.
31:46
SPEAKER_00: We are honestly like Izzy's mom would drop us off.
31:49
SPEAKER_00: We would just go trick-or-treat, and then she'd be like, be here by seven o'clock.
31:52
unknown: Yeah.
31:52
SPEAKER_00: And we'd do our loops and we'd go back in.
31:54
SPEAKER_00: Who cares?
31:55
SPEAKER_02: It's another thing that people get irate about that you're upset about kids having joy.
32:03
SPEAKER_01: Right.
32:04
SPEAKER_02: Going to get candy.
32:05
SPEAKER_02: Where where's the where does the problem lie within?
32:09
SPEAKER_00: Unless you live in a private gated community that you need a code to get in, there's no reason you should be like mad about somebody's kids trick-or-treating in your neighborhood.
32:19
SPEAKER_02: If you're in a private gated community that has your gates open for trick-or-treating, sorry, if I know someone that's in there, my kids are going to trick-or-treat.
32:29
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
32:30
SPEAKER_00: No, I don't think that I don't think that that should matter.
32:32
SPEAKER_00: The kids are having a good time.
32:33
SPEAKER_00: The kids are getting candy.
32:34
SPEAKER_00: Let's let them eat candy.
32:36
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, let it you're probably given snickel fritz, but if you are given big pieces of candy, you gotta let me know.
32:41
SPEAKER_00: It's probably those people that are given the full candy bars that are complaining.
32:44
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, they're like, oh, we probably only have to give out 50 pieces of full candy bars, and all of a sudden we have 125.
32:51
SPEAKER_02: Sorry.
32:51
SPEAKER_02: Too bad.
32:52
SPEAKER_02: Trick-or-treatance tonight.
32:53
SPEAKER_00: Yep.
32:53
SPEAKER_02: My the trick-or-treat in my neighborhood was a 230, the 330 or 430.
32:58
SPEAKER_02: Yours was six to eight.
32:59
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
33:00
SPEAKER_00: Six to eight.
33:00
SPEAKER_00: Six to eight trick-or-treats where it's at.
33:02
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, but the amount of kids that come through our neighborhood, I know that there's not that many kids that are in our neighborhood.
33:08
SPEAKER_02: They're just with their friends.
33:09
SPEAKER_02: They're with their friends.
33:10
SPEAKER_02: Let them have fun.
33:11
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
33:11
SPEAKER_02: Parents, do they deserve a candy tax from their kids' Halloween haul?
33:15
SPEAKER_00: 100%.
33:16
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
33:16
SPEAKER_00: I'm putting up with that kid cranking about their costume, walking up the stairs with them, saying, make sure you say thank you.
33:24
SPEAKER_00: Make sure you say trick-or-treat.
33:26
SPEAKER_00: You owe me, you owe me a Twix.
33:28
SPEAKER_02: I will have a piece of candy or or two or five on the route.
33:33
SPEAKER_02: Like I'm I'm hauling it.
33:35
SPEAKER_02: Dad, can you hold this?
33:36
SPEAKER_00: I'm taking it.
33:37
SPEAKER_00: I'm taking a piece of candy.
33:38
SPEAKER_00: You know Benny's gonna be like, I can't walk.
33:40
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
33:41
SPEAKER_00: She's a stroller kid.
33:42
SPEAKER_00: Like she hates.
33:42
SPEAKER_02: She'll get right back in the shoulder.
33:44
SPEAKER_02: I will well also like they don't need that much candy.
33:47
SPEAKER_00: No.
33:48
SPEAKER_02: They're not gonna have that much candy.
33:49
SPEAKER_00: They already have a whole bucket of candy.
33:51
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
33:51
SPEAKER_02: We've been to multiple candy events already.
33:53
SPEAKER_02: I'm gonna have the ones that I like.
33:55
SPEAKER_02: And most of the time I end up eating the ones that they can't even have yet.
33:59
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
33:59
SPEAKER_00: So like all the hard candies they don't want to eat, and like they're not interested in pop rocks and sh stuff like that.
34:05
SPEAKER_00: Almost a curse word.
34:06
SPEAKER_02: Okay.
34:07
SPEAKER_02: You go to like going to a haunted house, go into a haunted place, paying 40 plus dollars.
34:14
SPEAKER_02: Is it it's overrated to have like someone chase you with the chainsaw.
34:18
SPEAKER_00: I agree with that.
34:19
SPEAKER_00: Like back in the day in high school, we would pay to go to like these haunted places.
34:23
SPEAKER_00: It probably was 40 bucks for like these two buildings.
34:26
SPEAKER_00: What was I thinking?
34:27
SPEAKER_00: My mom was probably so pissed.
34:28
SPEAKER_00: Like, here's$40.
34:30
SPEAKER_00: Have fun.
34:31
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
34:31
SPEAKER_02: It's like something you do with your high school friends.
34:34
SPEAKER_00: Yes.
34:34
SPEAKER_00: Other than that, I'm not gonna.
34:36
SPEAKER_02: Once we got out there, like I had to run my own haunted trail with the club we worked at and like planned it all.
34:41
SPEAKER_02: And it's like people I worked with that were the chainsaw person or whatever it was.
34:45
SPEAKER_02: We did a lot of it, like I spent two months leading up to the event to like make it happen.
34:51
SPEAKER_00: That was like a big deal there.
34:52
SPEAKER_00: I forgot.
34:52
SPEAKER_02: Oh, they took it way too seriously, way too seriously.
34:55
SPEAKER_02: For like the amount of like what those three hours actually were, yeah.
35:00
SPEAKER_02: It wasn't worth the time.
35:01
SPEAKER_02: But you go to these events, like that was free for the members, it wasn't a costed event.
35:06
SPEAKER_02: But growing up, I would go to somewhere that's it was like hundred acres manor.
35:11
SPEAKER_02: I don't want to like disregard these places.
35:13
SPEAKER_02: There's a lot of places in the Pittsburgh area that you do pay a lot of money.
35:18
SPEAKER_02: And they're not really that like they're not scary.
35:22
SPEAKER_02: I've also come back to think of it.
35:24
SPEAKER_02: And you wait in a long line to even like get on like a hay ride.
35:28
SPEAKER_00: There was like somewhere they were like, you gotta sign this paperwork, liability paperwork.
35:31
SPEAKER_00: Like, what are we doing here?
35:33
SPEAKER_02: One person got too spooked and now everyone has to sign a report.
35:35
SPEAKER_00: What are we doing here?
35:36
SPEAKER_02: Well, that's the other thing.
35:37
SPEAKER_02: I love amusement parks.
35:38
SPEAKER_02: I love going to a going to an amusement park in the fall is worse than any time of the year because most of the rides are open.
35:48
SPEAKER_02: They have haunted houses that are around the areas, like in the park itself.
35:54
SPEAKER_02: But the rides are open.
35:55
SPEAKER_02: And the rides that would normally be a 10-minute wait or like a 30, 45-minute wait, it's not worth it.
36:02
SPEAKER_02: And you're paying just as much money for the park being open, half the amount of time.
36:07
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, not interesting.
36:08
SPEAKER_02: Not worth it.
36:09
SPEAKER_02: Last one, Hocus Pocus.
36:11
SPEAKER_02: The movie is overrated.
36:14
SPEAKER_00: I'm gonna be honest.
36:15
SPEAKER_00: Like, I don't know the last time I watched Hocus Pocus.
36:17
SPEAKER_02: I'm gonna be honest.
36:18
SPEAKER_02: I don't know the last time that I even thought of Hocus Pocus.
36:23
SPEAKER_02: And I will also say that I've never watched Hocus Pocus.
36:26
SPEAKER_00: I feel like I've I've definitely watched it, but I'm not like a big Halloween.
36:30
SPEAKER_00: I wasn't like a I don't like, you know me, I don't like scary movies.
36:32
SPEAKER_02: So like scary.
36:33
SPEAKER_00: I know, but it's like a Halloween-themed movie.
36:36
SPEAKER_00: Like I don't go out of my way to watch Halloween-themed movies.
36:38
SPEAKER_00: So like I'm not, I would say, what was even the question?
36:41
SPEAKER_00: It's overrated.
36:41
SPEAKER_00: It's over eaten.
36:42
SPEAKER_00: To me, I'd say, yeah.
36:43
SPEAKER_00: People like stick on that and are like, it's the best movie of all time.
36:47
SPEAKER_00: Halloween town's so great, too.
36:49
SPEAKER_02: And I'm like, I don't They wait until the holiday hits and they're like, oh, we gotta watch Hocus Pocus.
36:54
SPEAKER_02: We gotta watch the Halloween movies, we gotta watch this, watch that.
36:58
SPEAKER_02: Like, I've I'll be fine with watching Hubi Halloween.
37:01
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, Hubi Halloween's pretty good.
37:03
SPEAKER_02: It's completely fine.
37:04
SPEAKER_02: Like Hocus Pocus, it's it's just like probably all of the Disney Channel original movies that you I know it's not a Disney Channel original movie, or maybe it is.
37:15
SPEAKER_02: Halloween Town is.
37:16
SPEAKER_00: Halloween Town is.
37:17
SPEAKER_02: But you watch them when you're a kid and you liked it, and then you're like, this is this is a staple in my life.
37:23
SPEAKER_02: I gotta watch this forever.
37:25
SPEAKER_02: And then you watch it back and you're like, oh.
37:27
SPEAKER_02: It's not really that good.
37:28
SPEAKER_02: That should have stayed back in my past.
37:31

38:41
SPEAKER_02: If I was back in like my high school days, we kind of just touched on it.
38:45
SPEAKER_02: I probably would do a haunted house.
38:47
SPEAKER_02: But now I walk through a haunted house, I'm like, I know that like whatever's about to come around the corner is gonna scare me.
38:52
SPEAKER_02: I don't know what's gonna scare me on a haunted hayride.
38:54

38:55
SPEAKER_02: Also at the same time, it's probably gonna be the same thing, but I get a hayride out of it.
38:59
SPEAKER_02: I get my steps in, but I get a hayride.
39:01
SPEAKER_02: I'm taking the hay ride.
39:03
SPEAKER_02: Trick-or-treating or a Halloween party?
39:07
SPEAKER_00: With kids, I'm gonna say trick-or-treating.
39:10

39:11
SPEAKER_02: Like in the terms of with kids.
39:12
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, with kids, I'm gonna say trick-or-treating.
39:14
SPEAKER_00: If it was adults only, it's close to me.
39:18
SPEAKER_02: Halloween party.
39:19
SPEAKER_00: I love a good Halloween party, especially like in college or Halloween parties, even like post-college when we would have parties with our friends, the costumes were hilarious.
39:26
SPEAKER_00: Everybody was having a good time.
39:28
SPEAKER_00: It depends on your age, I would say.
39:30
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
39:31
SPEAKER_02: I would go Halloween party, trick-or-treating with the kids as well.
39:35
SPEAKER_02: I enjoy a Halloween party.
39:36
SPEAKER_02: I don't know if I need a Halloween party anymore.
39:40
SPEAKER_02: I don't need to go get dressed up to like have a party.
39:43
SPEAKER_00: Right.
39:43
SPEAKER_02: Pumpkin pie or apple pie?
39:46
SPEAKER_00: I love a pumpkin pie, but a good Dutch apple pie.

SPEAKER_02: Hear footsteps upstairs when you're home alone, or hear someone whisper your name.
40:25
SPEAKER_00: I'm gonna say the footsteps.
40:26
SPEAKER_00: At least the footsteps, I could be like, oh, it's just the dogs.
40:30
SPEAKER_02: I've gotten haunted sequences happen to me where I didn't hear footsteps, so to say, but I heard like tingling on the door.
40:38
SPEAKER_02: And then I heard, then I was I don't wanna talk about past relationships.
40:44
SPEAKER_02: I was dating a girl back in high school before I met you.
40:46
SPEAKER_02: Ooh, let's talk about spooky.
40:48
SPEAKER_02: But we were I was walking her to my car because I'm a gentleman.
40:52
SPEAKER_02: Okay, and the car was like at the end of the street.
40:56
SPEAKER_02: That's where my spot was as a high school kid, like uh where I lived at.
41:00
SPEAKER_02: You like parked far away.
41:03
SPEAKER_02: When we were in my room doing absolutely nothing in there, we were hearing people like people.
41:09
SPEAKER_02: I was hearing things tingle on the window, and then I was walking her to the car from a far distance away, and I heard a pounding that was legitimately to my room in my room.
41:24
SPEAKER_02: Like the I uh my house I grew up in was 100% haunted, which I also heard haunting.
41:31
SPEAKER_02: I walked out of my own bedroom, went to the bathroom, and then the room to the right of me, I heard a like they were the ghosts was spooked at me for walking out.
41:40
SPEAKER_00: I don't like any of that.
41:41
SPEAKER_02: And also the ghosts that they weren't heard.
41:43
SPEAKER_02: I talked about that already.

SPEAKER_00: I'll break the window and get out.
42:02
SPEAKER_02: I will get me out of the house.

SPEAKER_02: I'll make it out.
42:11
SPEAKER_02: Like I yeah, I'm upset that I'm still.
42:15
SPEAKER_00: Like you can go through a corn maze, it would be difficult, but like you can just go straight to the city.
42:19
SPEAKER_02: What if it's like a crop circle corn maze?
42:21
SPEAKER_02: Maybe aliens.
42:22
SPEAKER_00: Aliens.
42:23
SPEAKER_02: Your kid says there's a man in my closet, or the lady at the end of my bed talks to me.
42:30
SPEAKER_00: I hate both of those, but I think I'll take the man in the closet because maybe he'll just stay in there.
42:36
SPEAKER_00: Like if you were on the bed and they're like, the woman at the end of the bed's talking to me, I'll be like, What if if there was a man in the closet, it actually might be an authentic man, like a real man sleeping in there.

SPEAKER_00: Either are spooky.
42:48

SPEAKER_02: Funny costume or scary costume?
42:58
SPEAKER_00: Funny every day.
42:59
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.

SPEAKER_02: I don't to be honest, when people dress scary, if you're over the age of high school and you're dressing up like scary.
43:07
SPEAKER_01: Like, what is wrong with you?
43:08
SPEAKER_02: I don't yeah.
43:09
SPEAKER_02: I don't want to like I'm not one to judge somebody, but you're probably a weirdo.
43:14
SPEAKER_00: I'm judging.
43:16
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
43:16
SPEAKER_00: Like, why are you like I can understand if you're like a makeup artist, you're doing like scary makeup.
43:22
SPEAKER_00: But like people that are trying to dress it to be scary to like scare other people, like for what?
43:27
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
43:27
SPEAKER_02: What what are we doing here?
43:28

45:02
SPEAKER_02: It could be anything.
45:03

45:05
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
45:06
SPEAKER_02: Not like when you're a kid.
45:08
SPEAKER_02: You're not trick-or-treating as an adult.
45:10
SPEAKER_02: If I was trick-or-treating as an adult, I'd love to have a Miller Light thrown in there, maybe a lottery ticket.
45:16
SPEAKER_02: We should do an adult trick-or-treating.
45:18
SPEAKER_02: That could get it I'll let you go first, actually.
45:21
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
45:22
SPEAKER_00: My number one.
45:24

45:29
SPEAKER_02: That's on that was it was on your list.
45:31
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
45:32
SPEAKER_00: That would have been the next one.
45:34
SPEAKER_00: I feel like they're so underrated because everybody goes with some of the other classics.
45:37
SPEAKER_00: But when you get either like the single Carmelo or the full candy Carmelo, that would be like my all-time favorite.
45:43
SPEAKER_00: I used to like put them in the freezer.
45:45
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
45:45
SPEAKER_00: Save them up.
45:46
SPEAKER_00: That it was like a treat to get those.
45:48
SPEAKER_02: Like the way that Carmellos are shaped, they're in like you can break them off, you know, and just get like it's a full candy bar, but then you get a candy bars within the candy bar.
45:57
SPEAKER_02: You get a candy piece within the candy bar.
46:00
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
46:00
SPEAKER_00: They're good.

SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
46:19
SPEAKER_02: My first pick is very particular.
46:24
SPEAKER_02: It's the singular Reese's peanut butter cup.
46:27
SPEAKER_00: Individually wrapped.
46:28
SPEAKER_02: Like they're individually wrapped because they're easy to again stock in a freezer if you don't want to have it immediately.
46:34
SPEAKER_02: I like a Reese's peanut butter cup to begin with, but there's something about it being in that singular wrapping and how you unfold it.
46:42
SPEAKER_02: I feel like every time I'm opening it up and I get a golden ticket.
46:45
SPEAKER_00: What about like a Reese's shape?

47:30
SPEAKER_00: What's your number two?
47:31
SPEAKER_02: My second pick.
47:32
SPEAKER_02: Now, this is only for a certain reason.
47:35
SPEAKER_02: Like it has to happen in the perfect scenario.
47:38
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
47:39
SPEAKER_02: It needs to be a Starburst, but it has to be red starburst and pink Starburst in the wrapping itself.
47:49
SPEAKER_00: Like the two, the two.
47:50
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, like I'm gonna get a two-pack.
47:53
SPEAKER_02: It can't if it's orange and yellow, it's on the worst Halloween candy.
47:58
SPEAKER_02: It needs to be red and pink particular.
48:03
SPEAKER_02: Do you have an opposite reaction to that?
48:05
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I do because I hate the red.
48:07
SPEAKER_00: Like if it was pink and yellow or pink and orange, I'd be like, hell yeah, brother.
48:11
SPEAKER_02: They're the worst.
48:12
SPEAKER_02: They're the worst.
48:13
SPEAKER_02: If I would get that, then I'd know they'd pass it on to you.
48:16
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, we could share now.
48:17
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, we'll share next time.
48:19
SPEAKER_00: All right.
48:20
SPEAKER_00: My picks.
48:22
SPEAKER_00: My number two pick is pop rocks.
48:25
SPEAKER_00: Oh when I was a kid and I would get like, you know, people have like the little packets of pop ro pop rocks.
48:31
SPEAKER_00: I thought those were so cool.
48:32
SPEAKER_00: I would like save them up for like special times.
48:35
SPEAKER_00: And I feel like it's not a common candy that a lot of people pass out.
48:39
SPEAKER_00: So you don't you don't usually get it.
48:40
SPEAKER_00: But I do remember the kids last year got pop rocks and Bennett loved them.
48:44
SPEAKER_00: Tyson did not.
48:46
SPEAKER_00: He was like spooked out by it.
48:47
SPEAKER_00: But like it is like a funky candy, so I can get why kids might not like them, and that's probably why people I don't even know.
48:54
SPEAKER_00: It's like the sensation of them popping in my mouth that I was like, oh, this is so fun.
48:57
SPEAKER_00: This is cool.
48:59
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
49:00
SPEAKER_00: We would like that sensation.
49:02
SPEAKER_00: Shut up.
49:04
SPEAKER_00: And then my other one, and I know some people are gonna hate on this response because it's not a candy, but I used to get so excited when I would get the popcorn balls.
49:13
SPEAKER_00: Like you can get them pre-made, not like homemade, but there would be like the pre-made popcorn balls.
49:18
SPEAKER_00: And some of them were like kettle corn, some of them were regular, but I would love them.
49:22
SPEAKER_00: Even though when you went to go eat them, they were hard as rock.
49:24
SPEAKER_00: Like they really weren't that good.
49:26
SPEAKER_00: But when you're going through your candy at the end, you know, going through your haul and you're like seeing what you got, like getting the popcorn ball was top tier.
49:33
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, but if you once you open it, you gotta eat it then.
49:35
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, it's not a candy that you can save.
49:37
SPEAKER_00: It's not a double-day candy.
49:39
SPEAKER_02: No, like it's a this is the moment, this is when I'm gonna eat it, this is when I'm gonna have it.
49:43
SPEAKER_00: Yes.
49:44
SPEAKER_02: Where others, unless you go to the full-size candy bar place, you're gonna eat it in that moment.
49:50
SPEAKER_02: Or a popcorn ball, you have to eat it in that moment.
49:53
SPEAKER_02: Otherwise, too bad, so sad, I think's gonna stink.
49:56
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
49:58
SPEAKER_02: It wasn't on my list.
50:00
SPEAKER_00: I think a lot of people don't like the popcorn ball.
50:02
SPEAKER_02: I wasn't like a like like I didn't I didn't care for them.
50:06
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
50:06
SPEAKER_02: So to say.
50:07
SPEAKER_02: Like if I got them and if I got them and someone else wanted them, they can have.
50:15
SPEAKER_02: All right.
50:16
SPEAKER_02: My third pick is this is something that I had growing up, and I still like whenever I am able to have the opportunity to have them, you can get them in bulk whenever you're going to a house to have them.
50:29
SPEAKER_02: It's fruities.
50:31
SPEAKER_02: It's those, like the they're like a oh, the flavored Tootsie Rolls.
50:35
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, they're like the flavored Tootsie Rolls, but they're all like fruit flavored.
50:38
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
50:39
SPEAKER_02: Like a blue raspberry one, a red, a green apple.
50:42
SPEAKER_02: Like I there were like penny candy at a penny candy store I grew up at going, and I would get about a hundred of them.
50:49
SPEAKER_02: That'd be a dollar to have.
50:50
SPEAKER_02: So, like getting one of them, nostalgic thing to have, but they have to be again a certain flavor.
50:56
SPEAKER_02: When it comes to the fruit flavors, I think, is that that's where I really draw the line.
51:00
SPEAKER_02: Like again, when it came to Starburst, Sour Patch Kids, they gotta be a certain flavor for me to like them.
51:05
SPEAKER_02: But when I got them, I loved them.
51:08
SPEAKER_02: And then my last pick is dunkaroos.
51:13
SPEAKER_00: Oh, yeah.
51:14
SPEAKER_02: Not many people do it, but there was uh like growing up, one per family in particular would give them out, and dunkaroos, in terms of a primo, uh uh kid snack, they went away for a little bit.

51:59
SPEAKER_00: Like, if I would get one of those, I'm like, yes, these are the best.
52:02
