  Speaker 2: a nineteen sixties technicolor CinemaScope kind of way, that blob

  Speaker 2: It's the only thing I can come up with. There's

  Speaker 2: no other pink, but that's that's apparently the hot color

  Speaker 2: and he's how for how many years, have you been

  Speaker 3: my Charlie really wanted to get me a a Halloween
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: Halloween mass my Mommy and Daddy pop. Yeah, Michael Myers
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: mask like a real not like one from the dollar store.
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: You know what I mean, like a good one. Yeah,
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: a good one. So I've just always used it since then.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: Have you ever, because you've got a twisted sense of humor,
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: have you ever thought about combining the mask with the
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: Wayne's World Mike Miter Myers wig and ball cap.
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: Oh, but that's pretty good.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: I like that just thinking, you know, it's a good
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: or maybe.
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: I can't make the One of the things about Michael
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: Maer you don't have to talk, he doesn't say anything.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: Maybe the mask in an Austin Powers suit.
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: Very good because it would still be Mike Myers.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, and it would be twisted in odd and
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: that fits you fair. So I've been I was thinking
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: about at one point going, as you know, fat Elvis,
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: because what.
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: Nothing? What I didn't say? I did I say anything.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: For a treat man? Got to guess some of your candy.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: Thank you, thank you very much. I could do that
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: you could. When I was a kid.
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: My two most favorite Halloween costumes. One was me, one
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: was my sister who did it. I think I was.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: I think I was in fourth grade and this was
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: the seventies when people still did stuff like so, and
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: my sister made me a uh she took a fringe vest,
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: raw hide fringe vest, and then she made pan sewed
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: pants to go along with it, and found me somewhere
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: some actual leather moccasins and did the headband and they
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: got me a black wig.
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: If you're gonna say what I think you're gonna say.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: And I went as a warrior of Indian warrior.
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: Okay, so I was a kid.
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: I wasn't that extravagant, but I had like some wig
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: that was put on me and like an Indian thing,
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: but like I went as an as a Native American
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: an Indian.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: Now, yeah, I bet I could.
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: Well you could.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: I'm going as anything I want.
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: I'm just saying somebody would be like, but.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: It was I was.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: My sister Shelley made this this costume for me. The
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: only thing that was store abought, I believe, was the
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: was the vest and uh and she had her singer
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: sewing machine. And I can't I'm trying to remember what
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: year it was. There was some kind was gonna McDonald's.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: Somebody had some sort of promotion out where there were
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: pieces of a football like a puzzle and you get
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: a piece every time you went. Maybe it was Kroger,
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: And I remember that Halloween. During that week that was
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: one of the things my family was doing was my
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: mom and my sister Shelley.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: In the living room floor.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: They had this big poster board thing laid out with
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: all the pieces of this football that they were trying
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: to put together to win a prize. So I think
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: I think that might have been nineteen seventy four, but
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: I'm not positive.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: But anyway, that.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: Costume, and then when I got a little bit older,
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: I think I was twelve, because I'm pretty sure that
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: was the last year I went to trigger treat well
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: once the third teen is in there, It's just I
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: thought I.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: Was too old.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: So when I was twelve, I just barely had any
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: kind of a little mustache, and I used makeup to
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: cover it up, and I put on a wig and
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: one of my mom's dresses and my mom had. She
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: had had surgery, I had a brain tumor, so she
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: had a wonky walk.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: Afterward. We were just happy she was walking quite frankly.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: But I had her walk. I had one of her
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: wigs on. I'm wearing one of her dresses. And the
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: neighbor lady, Missus Simmons, actually thought I was my mom
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: at first.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: I looked a lot like her.
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: That's so sweet and that child, Yeah, I mean, so.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: I went out trick or treating as my mom. Those
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: were my two favorite Halloween days. I had other store
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: bot costumes over the years and so forth that I
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: can't even I think there was a pirate one year.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: There was oh my gosh.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: I only remember the pirate because it came with a
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: white plastic sword that had a red tip on it.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: Cowboy one year. But nothing stands out except for those
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: two years.
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: I quit trick or treating obviously when I got twelve thirteen,
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: but Charlie started going obviously.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: So yeah, I'm hoping things. You know, as it gets better,
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: Iran gets better and the economy gets better.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: And the FED did not.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: Drop any rates today, but that will come as you know,
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: income goes up and things get more affordable. I'm hoping
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: that this year, when we go into autumn, people are
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: are festive and Mark mentioned Halloween parties. I'm not a
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: Halloween party kind of guy. I'd love to see some
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: Christmas parties again. I miss those days when companies had
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: Christmas parties, especially, I mean real Christmas parties. Now you
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: here's a bag of chips, will put a movie on, ye,
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: I mean real Christmas parties. I would love to see that.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: I did last year, didn't even get any invitation to
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: a Christmas party, So I don't know how many were up.
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: Maybe people just don't like me anymore. I'm not sure,
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: but that not an invitation to one. And I'm hoping
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: that change is that we need that that jovial what's the.

• 9:01
  Speaker 2: A two one ninety six A TWOEWTV, and a couple
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: of people have messaged me already telling me about their
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: their favorite costumes when they were kids. And it's changed
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: over the years. You know, today the kids, I think
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: they all want to be like, you know, something they
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: see on TV. I remember, you know, my grandson's wanting
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: to be Paul patrol dogs and stuff like that. It's
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: not just the generic costume to look different than you.
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: It's to look like something else.
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's something in particular, not like a you're a
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: cowboy or an Indian or whatever. It's something a particular
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: character from a show or whatnot.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: I see, You've got my wheels turning about this whole
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: Indian thing.
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: Well, I've ever seen something on T you like, somebody went,
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: some celebrities somewhere went something. Whatever it was during Halloween
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: or was pictured at a party dressed as somebody who
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: was Native American, and a bunch of people who were
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: the looney liberal group of people.
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: Were like, you can't. That's cultural appropriation. That's a big guy.
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: I forget what celebrity you want?
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: Thing of it they owe every time.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: Every year, it seems like that stuff comes out and
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: then they want to hold somebody, especially their conservatives, hold
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: them account well, they wore blackface for this or whatever,
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: and it's ridiculous if you are who was the one
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: person was they went as Diana Ross or something and
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: got criticized. They put on the makeup to be the
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: character they were going as. That's not being insulting or racist.
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: That's getting your makeup right and getting your character right.
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: Joy Bayhart, I will even defend Joy Behar. She went
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: to a Halloween thing years ago as was it a
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: princess from Aladdin or something, and she wore darker makeup.
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: Wasn't really brown, it was more like a bronze. But
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: you know, same thing now. Ted Danson and blackface at
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: the Friars Club, that's a different matter. That was although
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: again the Friars Club is a theatrical organization. They are
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: a humorous theatrical organization.
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: And and he he was.
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: He was basically either you know, paying homage to or
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: making fun of the days of al Joelcia and and
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: uh and I mean the time they go at Thritus.
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: I mean his girlfriend at the time was Whoopy Goldberg.
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: So yeah, they always come out of the woodwork with
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: stuff like that.
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: A black person and a man too. It's pretty.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: It's amazing. As angry as she is in her name
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: as a Whoopie, I don't get that.
