  Speaker 1: Hey, this is Annie.
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: And Samantha.
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: And welcome to Stuff Now I've Told You, a production
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: of iHeartRadio. And welcome to another edition of Happy Hour.
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: As always, if you're choosing to drink or whatever you're
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: choosing to do, please do so responsibly. Samantha, are you
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: sipping on anything?
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: Bubble water, because we're recording a lot today.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: We are recording a lot. We're preparing... To go on
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: a voyage.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: Voyage.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: Yes. And by the time you hear this, we'll be
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: back from said voyage. But the time of recording has
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: not happened yet. So this is really interesting because this
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: topic was a suggestion for our voyage from a listener,
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: friend of the show, Lena. Yeah. Please write in if
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: I'm mispronouncing that. I know you wrote in once about
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: how to pronounce her name, and I can't find that
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: email again. Please write in if I've got it wrong.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: But Lena suggested a couple of ideas for our voyage,
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: and one of them caught my eye. Well, actually, both
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: of them did, but one of them was more intensive.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: This one I thought would just be a fun conversation,
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: and that's about couples' costumes. So as we're recording this now,
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: it's still... september september 22nd so we haven't gotten into
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: october yet but you know by the time this comes
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: out yeah halloween full swing and i just thought that
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: was a really interesting question because lena basically asked like
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: are they sexy or cute are they clever overdone what
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: are your thoughts so i thought we could have that
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: conversation here and luckily we I'm so glad that I
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: brought it up when we were talking to Bridget recently.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: And Bridget had some thoughts.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: She did. And they were all very different from mine. Yes.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: I will say you were probably different than both of us.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: We'll get into kind of our thoughts in a second.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: What I'm going to start with is that I have
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: done couples costumes. I've also done group costumes. And this
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: is what I kind of want to get into in
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: a minute is kind of the implication of like a
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: romantic couple when it says couples costumes. I have done
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: one of those. And I was the Winter Soldier and
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: the guy I was dating was Captain America. I don't
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: think he was super into it. But I also didn't
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: make him do like, he basically just wore a jacket.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: Like a specific type of jacket. We looked really good.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: We have a great couple's photo with it. But I
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: think that's the only time I've done it in a
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: romantic sense. I did do it with a friend, a
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: good friend of mine, to DragonCon. We went as, she
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: went as Astrid, who we've done an episode on, a
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: fictional woman around the world. And I went as Hiccup
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: from How to Train Your Dragon. And we looked good.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: You were there that year. You and your partner were there.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: And your partner tried to take photos of us, but
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: Dragon Con's notoriously not a great place to take photos. No. Yeah.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: But that's pretty much my experience with the couple's costume.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: I mean, I guess you and I have done, like,
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: joke onesies before.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah. But we didn't do it, like, Halloween. We
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: did it for staying at home.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we were, like, separate but together in this way. Yeah.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: Yes. Yes. It was New Year's?
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: New Year's.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: Okay, okay, okay.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: Well, what about you? Have you done?
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: So, here's a negative Nancy of it all, and I
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: apologize to all the Nancys, but that's the phrase I know.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: I hate costumes. Mainly because, and I've said this before,
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: this is one of those many things, this is one
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: of the part of the, like, accumulation of why I
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: don't love the holidays, birthdays, all of these things. The
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: layer of expectations that are with this, and maybe it's
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: because I am jealous of my friends who are really
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: good at costuming, who are really good at being creative,
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: and or have the money to be creative. And it
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: wasn't until recently, so let's say right before COVID, that
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: I started getting a little extra money. And by that point,
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: we weren't going out anywhere. I'm definitely not going out anywhere.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: And also the thought of spending hundreds of dollars on
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: a costume hurts my heart. Hurts my heart. So with
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: all of that said, it just became a thing where
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: I don't feel like I'm creative enough to get a costume.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: And I may have a great idea, but it never
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: comes to play. And I'm like, yeah, that did not
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: work out like I thought it would. So those layers
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: of expectations and then the default of, like, I have
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: to do these things, and then also realizing going to
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: no longer, I'd no longer go to Target, but once
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: upon a time to Target to find these costumes that,
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: once again, are too ridiculously expensive. I just can't stand it.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: I will say I am a lazy costumer, once again,
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: in this realm of, like, I hate and I'm not
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: creative enough. So I bought Jack-o'-lantern shirts. So I love
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: easy go-tos. So you just mentioned the onesies. Easy go-tos. Onesies, great.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: I'm a panda bear. Don't touch my tail. T-shirts, wonderful.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: I'm going to find, and I did find headbands that
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: had like the pumpkin tops, the jack-o'-lantern tops to look
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: like a jack-o'-lantern. And then I will match. I made
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: my partner get a onesie. He was a shark. Actually,
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: that's not true. He's the one that wanted to match me. Yeah,
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: because I was like, okay, you can do whatever you want. Sure.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: Sure.
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: And he came as a shark while I came as
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: a panda. The only matching thing was we were species
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: and we were onesies. So obviously nothing too much. And
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: then because we were going to a Halloween party and
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: my friend, friend of the show, old co-host Caroline, who love, love,
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: loves Halloween, super, super creative, super fun, all of those
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: things that I am not, once again, fun included. She
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: was having a party. She's like, you have to at
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: least dress up something. So I came as a jack-o'-lantern
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: with a t-shirt. And my partner, he got one too
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: with a hat. So we were matching jack-o'-lanterns in the
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: most lazy way that you can be.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: Mm-hmm.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah. So that was fine. But I was like the trail,
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: the lead up to that one, the lead up to
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: that one and trying to figure out what to be
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: and then trying to have My partner helped to make
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: a decision was work. And finally, I just made a choice.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: And I was like, I don't care what you think here.
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: He's like, okay, you want to do this? I was like,
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: don't complain. Don't want to be more creative because you
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: did not put input. This is you. And I think that's, again, like,
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: he's not awful about that. Usually we are really, like,
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: equal or he's sometimes more invested. But he's just not
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: a procrastinator. He's an ADHD-er. That's hyper-focused and then kind
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: of forgets about what's going on and then comes back
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: with like, oh, crap.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: Mm-hmm.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: I need to do this type of conversation. And I'm like, well,
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: it's too late. And so I'm the one who ends
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: up doing the things. And that drives me crazy. And
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: that also makes me miserable. So all of those things
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: come into I hate couples costumes, period. I like the
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: idea of it.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: Mm-hmm.
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: I do like the idea. I love when people are
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: doing it and they look good and they put time.
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: I love that you're creative. I'm very, again, envious and
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: jealous of those who can do it well. Katie, friend
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: of the show, who is amazing at her creativity and
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: makes the best costumes, shocked. I love everything. I do
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: not have those skills. So I don't love doing it.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: Those are my opinions. Very strong ones at that.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: It's so funny because I feel like hearing you talk
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: about it, you're putting like way too much on it
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: that I... Probably.
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: But when you come, think about the fact that you
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: had your, well, first of all, all of your costumes
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: were intensive. And every time you're in the middle of
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: making it, you tell me how stressed you are because
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: there's something didn't work out. You have to redo something.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: You're waiting for something or you're trying to glue something
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: back together. And then you stay in those costumes for
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: the next five years because you put so much time
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: and effort into it. I don't think I'm putting as much.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: As you do. I feel, and this is kind of
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: a distinction, a very telling distinction perhaps, but I don't,
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: Halloween costumes, I don't put that much in. Okay. Dragon Con, yes,
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: because there used to be a real air of judgment.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: around if you just purchase something. I think that that
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: has lessened now. I think it's still there, but I
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: think because it's gotten so much bigger, it's not what
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: it used to be. But back when I first started going,
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: there was a huge, like, that has a faux pas
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: if you just bought this. So you had to put
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: in the effort. You had to, like, build the thing
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: or whatever it was. Halloween, I'll just, like, show up.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: I'll show up in, like, the most basic... kind of
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: suggestion of something.
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: But also you have a closet i do a closet
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: where you can just go back and be like i'll
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: just do this and then put it together i don't
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: have such.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: A thing this is true i do have that.
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: I'm looking at her closet now yes everyone She has
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: a jacket ready to be Han and Luke in The
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: Last of Us.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: A million jackets. I literally have a jacket for, that's
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: all I have to put on is the jacket.
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying. You're always, because also a part
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: of that is you're always low-key dressing up. Yes, I
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: love low-key cosplay. This is that other sentiment.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: You're already prepared for it.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: I am. But I feel like the last time I
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: went to a Halloween party, not Caroline's, because we did
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: go to Caroline's. I can't remember what I wore for that.
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: You were a Luke of sorts.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: I'm sure I was. That makes sense.
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: Because there was a Hans, and you two talked. Oh.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: Oh, well, before that, I just went, I went as
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: a version of Taylor Swift and I was just wearing
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: like a bathing suit and shorts and that was it.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: And it was like close enough, you know, I didn't
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: put that much work into it.
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: Again, it's also those creative ones, like people were like,
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: you know, the spice rack and they just put, or
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: the spice rolls and they put like, I'm like, no,
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: I can't even make that. When I tell you I
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: have no arts and crafts skills, I really have no
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: arts and crafts. I'm not even, like, being a pessimist.
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: I really don't have those skills. I wish I did.
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: You have a few. Not really. The ones that I can, like,
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: actually follow directions.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: Very explicit directions. Then I might do okay. I still
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: color very much outside the lines. I was like, yeah,
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: that still looks like a third grader did that one.
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: Not even a very good one.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: Well, I have some of your creative efforts in my
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: home and I enjoy them and I think they're good.
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: My partner looked at one of those and said, what
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: is this supposed to be? And I had to explain it.
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: Well, that's up for interpretation. Art is interpretive.
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: But one of the things I wanted to talk about
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: here is, so Bridget did have a very different take
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: than you.
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: Yes, she loves it.
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: She loves it. And they have a, her and her
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: partner have a Google Doc. They start like a month
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: in advance to plan. And I was so endeared by that.
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: I thought it was so adorable. And she said it
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: was like a deal breaker. Like if you're not willing
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: to participate in this, get out. Essentially. And so I
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: loved hearing that take on it. I'm very excited. I
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: really hope she sends me pictures from their planned, I'm
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: not going to spoil it, but their planned couple's costume
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: this year. But this is my thing. And I did
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: try to research this and look into people's thoughts about it.
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: I think that couple's costumes, as long as they're It
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: seems like both people, like there's not one miserable person
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: that clearly doesn't want to be doing it. I think
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: they're cute. I think they can be sexy. I think
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: they can be really funny. There are really, really funny
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: couples costumes. And as I was telling Samantha and Bridget,
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: I think there are some costumes that just work better
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: as a couple's costume because you might not recognize the
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: one person alone. But when you see the two characters together...
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: then you get it. So that's kind of my opinion
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: on them. I do love them. And I was thinking about,
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: because I've been in a lot of group costumes, I've
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: been in couples costumes, but not romantically. And that got
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: me thinking about queer couples and how it looks for them.
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: And then I found this list from Autostraddle about it
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: and the best queer couple costumes and I think those
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: you know some of that involves gender gender bending which
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: is when you know make a character the opposite gender
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: than they are but I really like that too like
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: I like like if I had been black when I
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: was doing Winter Soldier all the time and I had
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: a a woman like a friend who played Steve Rogers
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: I think that would have been fun I think that
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: would have been really cool yeah that would have been
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: amazing Yeah.
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: You can still do it. You still have that costume.
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: I do still have that costume. That one is a
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: pain to put on. But it also, I hate to
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: retire it because I did, that one I did put
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: a lot of work into. Mm-hmm. It has four arms,
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: four winter soldier arms that I still have all of them,
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: but the fourth one is the best one.
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: I remember.
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah. But I just think that, I don't know, I
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: kind of like that the, Couples' costume for me so
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: long has been kind of the straight couples' costume. But
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: now it's very much expanded. And it's even kind of
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: expanded outside of that to be you and your friend
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: doing this. And as I said, some of them are hilarious.
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: And I recommend looking them up.
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: You know, some of the costumes that I love even more,
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: group costumes.
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: Me too.
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: Group costumes are awesome. So, like, I had a friend
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: who lived with, like, four other people, and their entire
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: house would be different things. Stranger Things was a big one.
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: I think they did Drag Queen, the drag show. Is
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: that the one?
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: Let's go.
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: RuPaul's Drag. Wow. Oh. Man, I just had him up.
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: RuPaul's Drag, like, they brought in different queens, and they were, like,
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: these are all gay men, so they were, like, dressing
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: up as that and having the best time. Like, I
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: think those are really... fun times I did one of
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: my best costumes is probably offensive and I apologize to
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: all of y'all it was what it was I was
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: kind of digging into my roots and my accent of
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: being country bumpkin essentially and I had the you know
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: missing tooth I had the best Fabio romance novel written
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: by Fabio supposedly uh-huh it was amazing and then the
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: war like all I did was have rollers cigarettes flip-flops
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: in this robe and I love that and for some
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: reason I did it again the next year because I
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: was like it was easy it was funny I was
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: really into character onto that one and I had people
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: joining me I didn't ask them to join me they
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: joined me and they would just be like you're my
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: common-law wife I'm like I don't know you I do
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: know them they were my friends and then this random
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: person came through being like the son I was like
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: what is happening they added themselves to my.
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: Group that is fun too with uh costumes.
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: When making friends with strangers because they dress either in
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: that same group or like in that same genre or
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: the same character yeah it's fun oh.
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah and i know we've done episodes about this and
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: i don't think anybody listening needs to a reminder but
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: i would say also if you're doing a couple's costume
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: that is cringe for racist reasons or something.
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: Like that that's not cool that's not.
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: But otherwise, I'm on board. I think as long as
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: the people involved, I hate seeing a couple's costume where
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: like it feels like they're arguing.
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: Oh, as in like they're arguing in real life, but
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: they're in a couple's costume?
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: Like, it feels like clearly one of them was dragged
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: there and didn't want to do this and thinks it's embarrassing.
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: And actually, you brought up the episode of The Office
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: when we were talking about that.
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I did.
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: Where Jim and Pam, Pam really wanted this like family costume,
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: but Jim was like too cool to do it, even
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: though it was important for her.
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: Obviously.
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: And then he eventually did do it because she had
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: like this horrible day. But like that situation where I
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: see a couple that it's like, it feels like an
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: argument is happening, even if no words are being said.
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah.
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I don't like that. But otherwise.
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, show us the creative ones so I can be jealous.
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: Yes, please. If you're doing one, if you have one
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: that you've seen that you loved, for this episode, I
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: was just looking up creative couples' costumes and I was
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: having a good time. And by the way, a friend
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: of the show, Katie, who we mentioned, she's going with
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: her boyfriend next year as Zool and Rick Moranis' character
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: from Ghostbusters. Sometimes you have to also take into account, like,
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: how much does somebody want to dress up? And sometimes
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: the answer is Rick Moran as this character from Ghostbusters.
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: And that's fine. That's fine. But yeah, let us know
• 19:37
