  Speaker 1: Trick or treat. It's one more thing. I'm strong Andy,
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: one more thing before we talk a little Halloween. On
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: this day before Halloween, came across this tweet, which I
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: thought was funny. This guy said, I live in constant
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: fear that Trump will deport my Latina mother in law,
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: who lives at eighteen thirty seven Third Street, Los Angeles,
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: nine zero zero two three, Blue house. She gets off
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: work at six. That's pretty funny. That is really good.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: So you see he doesn't like his mother in law.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: He would like her to be departed. You know. Okay,
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: you got that his initial fear was actually a mask
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: he was wearing. Yeah, she was trying to He was
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: trying to hype in fact, that he doesn't even prefer
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: his mother in law be around. Good.
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: I'll know what I would do without you.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: Guys, do not understand a thing. Oh yeah, we got
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: something Halloween there, Michael, before I saw Halloween.
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, my wife and I no, I like the regular
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: trick or treating where you take kids to the houses,
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: but we participated for the first time in what's called
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: a trick or trunk sure, and that's very popular now,
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: where a bunch of cars you open up your trunk,
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: you fill it with candy, and.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: All built over the completely manufacturer fake scare that has
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: been going on for decades that it's too dangerous to
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: go door to door. But anyway, so we were kind.
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: Of curious, so we went ahead and it was at
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: our church, and so you know, it's supposed to be
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: a nice family event. What we found though, was it
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: was amazing to us. You had the little kids that
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: were really cute and it's just fun. But then there
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: were some families where the adults are here to grab candy.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: It was just it's amazing.
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: The number of people that they bring. A little kid
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: is like they're helping. The adults are grabbing candy for themselves,
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: and then they walk away and the little kids just
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: with them, but really isn't getting the candy at all.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: It is quite amazing. I've told the story of being
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: at an ester a gun as a DJ many many times.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: I was the MC of the Ceast eight Hunt and
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: watching adults knockdown little children to get candy. Candy is
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: practically free, by.
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: The way, Yeah yeah, since it's a church event, i'd
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: be forced to say, buy your own effing candy.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: Brother, I with you.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: With a friend the other day about if you have
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: trick or treaters, right, and you have the little kids
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: that come up, say trick or treat, get the candy.
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: But then what if you have the couple that brings
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: their newborn that's dressed up.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you just want candy? Dude, aren't you a grown man?
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: Do you have a job? Right? Can give you any candy?
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: You brought your baby along as a prop pos weak ass? Yeah,
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: the truth is and a person must just accept this
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: in craft of society around this, although progressives don't, is
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: that a fair percentage of people will do the wrong
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: thing on a consistent basis. You cannot trust people to
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: try hard to take care of themselves to do the
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: right thing. They just won't. There are a thousand examples
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: of it, and they're highly annoying, but you just have
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: to accept it. When did that We talked about this
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: a lot of the time. When did the trunk or
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: treat thing take off? It's fine, and I've done it
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: before and it's it's good, But I just remember how
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: it was born. I remember it was born of it's
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: too dangerous to go up to strangers doors in modern America,
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: so we too now we meet it and you know,
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: have all our cars.
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: They might get a hit or crack or a razor blade.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: Or so it said, you have them go up to
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: strangers cars to get candy.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: This seems like a worse concept. Trunk We're all you
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: got to do is put a bag over the head,
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: put them in the trunk, off with a done deal. No,
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: it's generally like a group. It's a church or whatever.
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: And the the idea is we've had people right in
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: say no, it's nice because we all get together with
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: our friends and the kids play and we know where
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: they are and we all hang out and talk with
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: our friends, which is fine.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: But it was born of paranoia, just ridiculous paranoia in.
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: The early days of the Internet and people waking up
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: in bath tubs with the ice and the note saying
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: your kidneys have been harvested. It was born right around
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: the same time.
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: I kept thinking about what Jack said. Though you have
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: to charge a certain amount to get the real.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: As all it takes. I've seen it in action. A
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: one dollar charge will make a festival so much cleaner
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: and nicer than a free festival. It's just true. It
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: doesn't take much to eliminate that crowd. Speaking of prices,
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: the consumer price index for candy and chewing gum is
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: up twenty two percent since Biden took office nearly four
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: years ago.
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: That's more than twice the cumulative inflation during Trump's presidency.
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: Twenty two percent more for your candy and gum. That's
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: Joe Biden's America.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: It is more expensive, but having purchased candy at the
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: story the other day, it is still practically free to
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: buy way more candy than you could ever eat in
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: your lif lifetime. It's practically free plus twenty two percent.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: Rich Man, it's amazing what a giant bag of crap costs,
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: not that much. I feel like the Of course this
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: is probably true. Obviously this is true. Shrink Flation has
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: hit the mini candies because they're smaller now than they
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: even weord before. They're almost to the point of absurdity.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: Mike is yes, micro candies.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: The internet wet nuts yesterday or the day before because
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: a woman got those miniature quote unquote fun sized bags
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: of Minem's and she's so fun She opened one and
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: there was one Eminem in the Oh boy, that's not fun.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: It is no funny. Yeah, it was about to say,
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: I was looking at these kitkats where I think the
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: energy to unwrap the tinfoil would burn more calories than
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: the candy bar. So maybe it's a win wall if
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: you unwrap your M and MS and you have an
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: M in there heartfe it's it's hard to justify it,
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: like the packaging or going through the trouble of buying
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: it and transporting it home from the store. What a
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: I what are we doing? That's funny. I hadn't even
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: noticed it till now. How tiny the new bite size,
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: fun size whatever they whatever lie they call it, How
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: tiny they are. I'll have to I'll have to do that.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: Take some pictures at home, like next to a coin
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: or something, to give you some perspective.
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: Look, there ought to be there ought to be a
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: bust on Madison Avenue for the guy who cooked up
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: the name fund size. Right, Hey, what do we what
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: do we call these little candy bars? We're gonna we're
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: gonna charge actually per ounce fifty percent more. But anybody
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: got an idea? Yeah, a small sized diet? No, no, no,
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: that's all negative. Give me something positive.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: Fun size. Do you expect trigger treats where you live? Katie, Yes,
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: lots of them. What kind of candy you got?
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: I actually have not gotten it yet.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: What will you get?
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: Oh, I'm thinking of sticking with chocolate this year because
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: I don't know, I don't like them, Like in what
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: form do you ladle it out of a pot?
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: Or Yes, I'm gonna have a fondue fountain, Jack, Yes,
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: that'd be funny much have the fountain and the fruit
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: and the kids can stick their fruit in the fountain
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: and have a couple of bites for the.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: One skewer per child. I thinking like the Snickers and
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: the Reeses and all the stuff that I like, so
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: that I can eat it after and we don't give.
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: It all the way give the full sized candy bar.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a right house. Henry was big on we're
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: gonna do full size. We're gonna go legend, that's what
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: he said. We're gonna go legend. Yeah, we get it.
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: You're rich, very good, Jack.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna have like six trigger treats. I'm sure. And
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: I don't. I want the candy gone. I don't want
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: it around the house. I want it gone. Last kid
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: of the night. You get your basket completely full of
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: whatever I got left no one.
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: But there's no blanket way. I give out the full
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: sized candy bars, and I'll tell you why, because those
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: kids haven't earned it. It's the redistribution of candy. It
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: ran forces socialist impulses. The free market is how you
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: get candy.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: What if I have them entertain me for a few minutes?
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: Can you dance or something or some you know what
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: you can? I have a pull up bar at his
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: front door.
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: Right, I am the Ron Swanson of holidays, Halloween houses.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right. The joy I used to get from
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: getting candy as a little kid, I barely remember it,
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: but I remember it was joyful. I remember it was very,
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: very exciting because I never was around candy that quantity before.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: I think my kids are around so much candy. Candy
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: I'm surprising leaves a mark with them.
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: Really, I remember, like my last my last year of
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: trigger treating was one pillowcases got cool. Everybody had their
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: pillowcase to fill up.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: There you go.
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: I liked the idea of making them dance, dance, dance
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: for me. I watched for a second. Nope, close the door.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: I got it. You look at the bar.
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: If it's fifty calories they got to burn fifty calories
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: before they can eat it.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: I've a net zero calorie policy. Put them on a treadmill,
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: little ghost. As soon as the thing on the treadmill
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: says you've hit fifty calories behind you in the candy bar,
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: there you go on the next Happy Halloween kid. The
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: dance not good enough. You can do, you can do.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: Come on, you can do better than that. You'd call
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: that dancing nope slam.
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: All right, kid, make sure you stretch before you go
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: to Joe Getty's house. Well, I guess that's it.
