  Speaker 1: in the morning. And every year around Halloween, there's always
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: a debate about what's too inappropriate when it comes to costumes,
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: what crosses the line for different decorations. And if there's
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: one person who is not down for being hollow woke.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: It's our resident Karen Brooke Fox, who reaches out. You
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: sure are today when you reach out to another mom
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: with some serious concerns about her child's upcoming party in
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: your special Halloween phone tap right now.

• 0:40
  Speaker 3: Hello?
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: Hi, is this Laker?
• 0:44
  Speaker 4: Yes, it is. Who am I speaking to?
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: Hmm.
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: My name's Carol. You invited my daughter, Emily, to a
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: Halloween party at your house. Yes, we're looking forward to
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: having her. Well, if I'm being 100% with you right now,
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: there's a good chance that she will not be attending. Okay. Oh,
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry to hear that. What happened? It's not what happened.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: It's what could happen. Okay, well, what could happen? I'll
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: tell you.
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: I'll tell you because apparently your daughter shared some of
• 1:15
  Speaker 4: the activities and party favors that you're planning to make available.
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: Okay, ma'am, I really don't like your tone right now
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: because I really.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: Don't know what you're talking about.
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: What I'm talking about is that they don't really work
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: with my family values.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: What are you even talking about? I'm a reasonable woman,
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: so I've come up with a plan for you to
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: change them. Like, for example... Excuse me, I'm talking. For example,
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: the apple activity situation. I'm assuming you're talking about bobbing
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: for apples. What is the problem with that? See? Exactly.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: Exactly what? Say it again. Okay, just see if you
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: can maybe figure it out.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: Say what again?
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: Bobbing for apples? There you go again.
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: Bobbing. Bob.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: What are you talking about? You make no sense to
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: me right now.
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: Bobbing for apples is not inclusive of all genders.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: Oh, my God. You're one of those parents, you're getting
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: offended by the word? Well, why can't it be barbing
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: for apples or bething for apples? Why does it have
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: to be Bob?
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: Why does it have to be male-driven at a young
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: girl's Halloween party?
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: Listen, I don't think it's a gender thing at all
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: just by saying bobbing for apples.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: It's just a tradition.
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: Oh, tradition, huh? A tradition similar to British imperialism?
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: Oh, Lord, here you go again with your crazy talk.
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry, but my sweet little Emily said that you're
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: planning to give out gift bags with king-size candy bars.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so what? How do you explain that? Kids like
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: big candy bars. What's wrong with that?
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: You know darn well that references the British monarchy, which
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: means you're essentially endorsing colonial European oppression onto my child.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: You're out of your f * * * ing mind.
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: I don't know what you're going on, what you're on,
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: what you're supposed to be on, but it's just supposed
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: to be fun and games for the kids.
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: That's it. Oh, fun and games. Like your invite says, huh?
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: Hocus pocus. That's just... Yep, that's what it says. Uh-huh.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: Pocus pocus. That's just an invitation for physical violence. Physical violence?
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: And I won't stand for this. Give me a break.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: I can't even believe I'm on the phone with you
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: for this long.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: Something is really wrong with you mentally.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: I knew we shouldn't have gone to public school this year.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: You're exactly right. We've been lumped in with these other
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: ignorant families. It's just ridiculous.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: You're exactly right.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: You shouldn't have sent your daughter to public school. I
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: think your whole family needs a special kind of school
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: with bars on the windows. Are you referring to jail?
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: No, I am not referring to jail.
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: Because all of you know, many of my ancestors, even
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: my uncle, have been involved.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: In white-collar crimes, and I am offended. Oh, yeah, I
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: see you're offended.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: Wow, that's something f * * * ing new.
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: You've been offended this whole conversation about all this stupid
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: s * * *.
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: I'm also offended that you didn't realize that this is
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: a prank phone call and you were set up by
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: your sister, Sinead.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: What? Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: You've got to be f * * * ing kidding me. Sinead?
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: Oh, I can't even understand it.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: This is good.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: But you know what was good about this? Because I
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: really think.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: I haven't even told you who I am yet. Do
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: you care? No, I don't care. No, I don't care.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: You said Batista set me up.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: I don't care damn who you.
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: Are at this moment.
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: I'm just wondering how come y'all.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: Got time to play games all day?
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: Well, listen, it's because my name is Brooke from the
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: radio show Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning, and I
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: have a really stupid job.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: Oh, you mean I'm on the radio? Yeah, you've been
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: woke tapped, okay? Oh, this is so embarrassing now.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: I can't believe I said the F word.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: I said it a lot, too. That was actually the
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: least offensive thing about your Halloween party. Brooke and Jeffrey's
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: phone taps on the 20s.
