- 1:18Speaker 3: to start.
- 1:19Speaker 1: It's already recording. Welcome in. It's Couple's Therapy Spookky edition.
- 1:26Speaker 2: It's the last one before Halloween. I feel like we
- 1:29Speaker 2: should make it happen. With Halloween theme.
- 1:33Speaker 3: Do you have any direction for this A are we
- 1:34Speaker 3: just going?
- 1:35Speaker 1: Well? I have I have some idea on what we're
- 1:38Speaker 1: going to do here.
- 1:41Speaker 2: For those keeping track our certain our cern Our son
- 1:44Speaker 2: turned four this week, and that's kind of taken the
- 1:53Speaker 2: they like all of our energy all week.
- 1:56Speaker 3: I feel like kids birthdays are a lot.
- 1:59Speaker 1: And they they never end. It's like one it's just
- 2:02Speaker 1: one after another.
- 2:03Speaker 2: It's hit after hit, and I love celebrating, but at
- 2:07Speaker 2: the same time, it's like, my goodness, just when you're
- 2:11Speaker 2: doing two birthday parties every weekend, Like I don't remember
- 2:15Speaker 2: being like being that age or even around that age
- 2:20Speaker 2: and going to as many birthday parties as I go
- 2:22Speaker 2: to now.
- 2:23Speaker 3: I feel like we talked about this on one of
- 2:25Speaker 3: these things.
- 2:26Speaker 1: Yeah, we probably did, but it's fresh on my mind.
- 2:29Speaker 3: Granted I have never listened to one of these that
- 2:31Speaker 3: we've done, but it is it's a lot, and I
- 2:34Speaker 3: feel like our kids they were in the thick of it,
- 2:37Speaker 3: right they're four and five and they have a lot
- 2:39Speaker 3: of friends, and.
- 2:41Speaker 1: It's weird that this is the thick of it, though, I.
- 2:44Speaker 3: Mean, I don't think it's the thick of it. I
- 2:45Speaker 3: think there's still thick coming.
- 2:47Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, there is all right?
- 2:51Speaker 1: Eh?
- 2:54Speaker 3: Oh is that the spooky?
- 2:55Speaker 1: Oh?
- 2:56Speaker 3: I got to make the dog mark?
- 2:58Speaker 1: I know, yeah, since I mean since we've last chatted.
- 3:02Speaker 3: Like the last one was the real Debbie Downer.
- 3:05Speaker 2: Yeah, like literally the last one, the last one, and
- 3:07Speaker 2: then we were supposed to record another one, but my
- 3:10Speaker 2: grandfather had just passed and I was like, I don't.
- 3:14Speaker 2: I can't do another sad one of these, Like it needs.
- 3:17Speaker 1: To be upbeat and happy.
- 3:21Speaker 2: That's why that's why I put us on the schedule
- 3:23Speaker 2: for this week, because it was.
- 3:25Speaker 3: Like birthday Halloween.
- 3:27Speaker 2: Well yeah, no, like Halloween is the I feel like
- 3:32Speaker 2: it's like our holiday. Like I feel like that's like
- 3:36Speaker 2: we we tend Halloween. Yeah, we tend to do do Halloween,
- 3:42Speaker 2: at least the the family costume part of it.
- 3:45Speaker 3: I'm writing it out as long as I let me.
- 3:47Speaker 2: Yeah, so spoiler alert, I mean it's not a secret
- 3:54Speaker 2: what we're doing for Halloween, right Oh no, okay, Yeah,
- 3:57Speaker 2: So this year's Halloween costume of choice is so weird,
- 4:01Speaker 2: Like I think it's so strange. But somehow the children
- 4:07Speaker 2: in April decided they wanted to do.
- 4:14Speaker 3: Oh, Alvin and the Chipmunks, Alvin.
- 4:15Speaker 2: And the Chipmunks, Like they went through like a week
- 4:19Speaker 2: where they were like, we'll watch Alvin and the Chipmunks.
- 4:23Speaker 1: Haven't asked about it since No.
- 4:26Speaker 2: To put in perspective, our son changed the theme of
- 4:30Speaker 2: his birthday four different times.
- 4:32Speaker 3: Only three give him some credit?
- 4:35Speaker 1: Oh, only three must have been No. Eight. The food
- 4:37Speaker 1: choice is which the choice has changed? Yeah.
- 4:40Speaker 3: I don't know how they've landed on this and stuck,
- 4:42Speaker 3: but I'm not mad about it. They started with Theodore
- 4:46Speaker 3: because Theo's name is Theodore, and then they base it
- 4:49Speaker 3: around that and never faltered.
- 4:51Speaker 1: So yeah, I think they based around Theodore.
- 4:55Speaker 2: And I think Caroline is okay with it because Alvin
- 4:57Speaker 2: is the leader of the Chipmunks.
- 5:00Speaker 1: She got to be Alvin.
- 5:02Speaker 3: That is true. I don't know. I'm rolling with it.
- 5:05Speaker 3: It's an easy costume, but it'll be fun.
- 5:07Speaker 1: Yeah. I uh.
- 5:11Speaker 2: It is odd though, because they have these things, like
- 5:14Speaker 2: I realized maybe today that are that our children, like,
- 5:19Speaker 2: like all kids kind of have very specific interests and
- 5:23Speaker 2: you can generalize here and there, like kids love dinosaurs,
- 5:28Speaker 2: kids love princesses, kids love Barbie or whatever. I don't
- 5:32Speaker 2: feel like there's many kids that they're like, you know what,
- 5:34Speaker 2: I love Muppet babies.
- 5:37Speaker 3: I don't think. But here's the thing. I also think
- 5:41Speaker 3: it's facilitated by the parents, Like there are some parents
- 5:43Speaker 3: who like would never turn on Muppet babies. We like
- 5:47Speaker 3: the Muppets, so it makes sense.
- 5:49Speaker 2: Yeah right, I mean in some ways, but in other ways,
- 5:52Speaker 2: it's like I want to sit down and watch football
- 5:55Speaker 2: and I can't get anyone in this house to watch
- 5:58Speaker 2: it with me.
- 5:58Speaker 1: And it's not like I've I have well.
- 6:01Speaker 2: Now, but there there was a time where it's just
- 6:04Speaker 2: like can we do anything else?
- 6:07Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 6:07Speaker 2: And there and they're still like that, Like they'll come
- 6:12Speaker 2: and they'll sit down next to me and they're like,
- 6:14Speaker 2: are the Cardinals playing? And it's not the Arizona Cardinals
- 6:17Speaker 2: that they're talking about, it's the Saint Louis Cardinal baseball team.
- 6:21Speaker 3: Yeah. So but they're still young. They'll get into it.
- 6:25Speaker 3: But yeah, I think they're very niche interests like THEO
- 6:28Speaker 3: with his number Blocks.
- 6:29Speaker 2: Yeah, if you're unfamiliar, there's this show on Netflix and
- 6:34Speaker 2: after doing a minimal amount of research, it originated in
- 6:39Speaker 2: the UK, I'm assuming on BBC, and it's it's a
- 6:44Speaker 2: show about Blocks who are also numbers, and they spend
- 6:51Speaker 2: the whole I mean, it's great as far as like
- 6:53Speaker 2: an educational perspective goes that they're always counting, but it's
- 6:58Speaker 2: not like there's like a theme. Like I can't figure
- 7:01Speaker 2: out any We've watched this show. It's on Netflix now,
- 7:05Speaker 2: and we found some episodes on YouTube, but I can't
- 7:08Speaker 2: figure out for the life of me, what the fuck
- 7:11Speaker 2: it it's about. It's just nonsense.
- 7:15Speaker 3: I mean, I feel like five is the superstar. Eight's
- 7:19Speaker 3: supposed to be at Trickster, and then they have episodes
- 7:22Speaker 3: like ones like Ratios and ones like times Tables.
- 7:25Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 7:26Speaker 2: Again, maybe you understand I do not, Like I understand
- 7:30Speaker 2: the whole point is to teach kids math.
- 7:33Speaker 3: Math, but it has gotten into numbers now.
- 7:36Speaker 1: The story behind the store.
- 7:38Speaker 3: No, there's no plot. Number Blocks has no plot other
- 7:40Speaker 3: than numbers.
- 7:42Speaker 2: Like I feel like even when I was a kid,
- 7:44Speaker 2: like I enjoyed the plot of like Sesame Street, Yeah,
- 7:48Speaker 2: and I enjoyed like Mister Rogers, like there was always
- 7:51Speaker 2: like a theme of the episode. Number Blocks is just like,
- 7:54Speaker 2: doesn't just count to like fifty every episode and call
- 7:58Speaker 2: it good.
- 8:00Speaker 3: It was really fun trying to find Number Blocks themed
- 8:02Speaker 3: birthday party item. You know, there's you can just run
- 8:07Speaker 3: into Target and buy those kidding, but we made it work.
- 8:12Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 8:12Speaker 3: That was the theme of his fourth birthday party was
- 8:14Speaker 3: number blocks.
- 8:16Speaker 1: Do you have.
- 8:18Speaker 2: A favorite Halloween costume that we've done?
- 8:23Speaker 1: Yes? Oh, okay, that was very that was very fast.
- 8:27Speaker 3: The spaghetti one.
- 8:29Speaker 2: Oh yeah yeah, well yeah that makes sense. So every year,
- 8:34Speaker 2: and I don't know how this is this has happened,
- 8:37Speaker 2: but for our daughter's first Halloween ever, she was what
- 8:43Speaker 2: seven months yeah, yeah, seven months old?
- 8:46Speaker 3: Six five months?
- 8:49Speaker 1: No, yeah, five five months old, yeah, five months.
- 8:54Speaker 2: And you had the idea of doing Lady in the
- 8:59Speaker 2: Tramp and I was the tramp. Of course, obviously you
- 9:05Speaker 2: were a lady. The dog Rip was a chef, and
- 9:13Speaker 2: our daughter Caroline was the big bowl of spaghetti. And
- 9:18Speaker 2: it is a it's a hilarious costume. It was really
- 9:21Speaker 2: well thought out and really well executed. But somehow it
- 9:27Speaker 2: pops up on all these Pinterest blogs. Every year at
- 9:32Speaker 2: least one person says, hey, is this is this you?
- 9:36Speaker 2: As they are also looking up family costumes like they
- 9:41Speaker 2: know it weird.
- 9:42Speaker 3: I feel like there's like, how did this happen? Yeah,
- 9:46Speaker 3: we'll have to share the picture, but it's super cute.
- 9:50Speaker 3: And I think that that was like twenty twenty and
- 9:52Speaker 3: so like I had time to craft this, so I
- 9:55Speaker 3: literally like fashioned a bull stuck her legs or a
- 9:58Speaker 3: bowl I made under made meatballs and spaghetti and it
- 10:04Speaker 3: was so so cute. And I don't know where the
- 10:06Speaker 3: picture got out there, but literally, if you just like
- 10:08Speaker 3: google cute family costumes, you'll probably see us. Yeah, so,
- 10:13Speaker 3: I mean I feel bad to say that one because
- 10:14Speaker 3: THEO wasn't in it, but like that one was really cute.
- 10:18Speaker 2: Well, and she's always been a very willing participant, like
- 10:22Speaker 2: he is much more stubborn when it comes to costumes
- 10:26Speaker 2: and really anything.
- 10:28Speaker 3: I liked that. I think as a family I did
- 10:30Speaker 3: really like, like Mario was cute. Last year. I liked
- 10:33Speaker 3: Muppet Babies though, because that one, again it was very
- 10:36Speaker 3: niche like you don't just see Summer the penguin, Yeah,
- 10:39Speaker 3: like walking around. I think that the kids loved that one.
- 10:42Speaker 1: What about pre kid pre kid?
- 10:45Speaker 3: Oh, I think my favorite still was when we were
- 10:50Speaker 3: Nick Miller and jess em.
- 10:52Speaker 1: Yeah, that was a fun one.
- 10:54Speaker 2: I because I fight tendencies of enjoying, you know, things
- 11:01Speaker 2: about me. The coincidentally when we were the Muppets. Oh yeah,
- 11:09Speaker 2: and We're walking around old town and I'm in a
- 11:13Speaker 2: giant pink prom dress wearing a pig nose and a wig,
- 11:20Speaker 2: and I mean, I was the bell of the ball.
- 11:22Speaker 3: You were really embracing your inner Piggy. And I think
- 11:25Speaker 3: that one was fun because most of the time like
- 11:27Speaker 3: obviously the woman's miss Piggy, but like you just fully
- 11:30Speaker 3: embraced it. You found a gorgeous pink dress a boa,
- 11:34Speaker 3: I mean you were and I think, yeah, I still.
- 11:37Speaker 2: Think about the day that I found the dress, and
- 11:41Speaker 2: it was just like it was like it was like
- 11:44Speaker 2: I picked out my wedding dress.
- 11:45Speaker 1: I was like, they said, yes.
- 11:47Speaker 3: I know, you came home thrilled, and we were like,
- 11:50Speaker 3: what kind of woman was wearing this dress? Because it
- 11:53Speaker 3: fit you like a glove and like it had no
- 11:55Speaker 3: room for boobs, Like I don't know how it fits you.
- 11:58Speaker 1: And I was and.
- 12:00Speaker 2: I was like, I'm not a small man now, but
- 12:03Speaker 2: I was definitely bigger, definitely big too.
- 12:06Speaker 1: So I mean I'm.
- 12:08Speaker 3: Trying to think.
- 12:09Speaker 1: I hope for the best for whoever that woman was.
- 12:11Speaker 1: I had just before me.
- 12:14Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, that was like a custom address I'm
- 12:16Speaker 3: trying to think one of the costumes we've done that
- 12:18Speaker 3: I really liked, but that those are like ones that
- 12:20Speaker 3: like really stand out as things that I like.
- 12:22Speaker 2: Yeah, those are ones that, like you said, do stand out.
- 12:25Speaker 2: We did Big Bird and snuffle Up.
- 12:28Speaker 3: I guess, yeah, but you look like a creepy hand eater.
- 12:32Speaker 3: I don't know what I did wrong with that snuffle up.
- 12:35Speaker 3: I guess hat that I made you.
- 12:37Speaker 1: I don't know. Have you seen the hat recently?
- 12:39Speaker 3: I don't know.
- 12:39Speaker 1: It looks like a penis hanging from a head.
- 12:41Speaker 3: I'm pretty good at crafting, and I really messed that
- 12:44Speaker 3: one up. What else have we.
- 12:46Speaker 1: Been We did Batman and Robin one year. Yeah, just
- 12:50Speaker 1: that was lax of days ago, but we did it.
- 12:54Speaker 3: What about before, like right, oh, whenever we were the
- 12:57Speaker 3: Jurassic Park people.
- 12:58Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, that was fun again because I like
- 13:02Speaker 2: things that I like, Ye, Marty and Back.
- 13:05Speaker 3: To the Future. I liked that one too.
- 13:07Speaker 1: Yeah, back in theaters this week.
- 13:09Speaker 3: Yeah, so I've liked them.
- 13:11Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 13:11Speaker 3: And then we did Peter Pan and Wendy and uh
- 13:14Speaker 3: or no, not Wendy. I was Smee. We did Peter
- 13:18Speaker 3: Pan Hook Tinkerbell, and then I was Smee because I
- 13:21Speaker 3: was one week postpartum and I didn't feel like I
- 13:24Speaker 3: could be Wendy.
- 13:26Speaker 2: I saw on Facebook this week somebody I I I
- 13:30Speaker 2: went to high school with. We went high school with,
- 13:32Speaker 2: I guessould say, And she has sworn off Halloween and
- 13:38Speaker 2: I don't undert like, I don't really know. I also
- 13:40Speaker 2: think she's good. She has went through a divorce but
- 13:44Speaker 2: hasn't made it like public. And I'm trying to I'm
- 13:48Speaker 2: trying to connect the dots without like.
- 13:50Speaker 3: Why haven't you spilled me before we're on a microphone.
- 13:52Speaker 3: Who is this you have to tell me?
- 13:54Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 13:54Speaker 2: I just well because I just thought about it, because
- 13:56Speaker 2: I was like, this is a really weird thing to just,
- 13:58Speaker 2: you know, be like, oh, I don't want my kids
- 14:01Speaker 2: dressing in costumes.
- 14:03Speaker 1: This is like a really weird thing.
- 14:05Speaker 3: I love it. I will dress in theme and as
- 14:09Speaker 3: long as our children will let us.
- 14:11Speaker 1: I don't do I don't know. I'm a huge baby.
- 14:16Speaker 1: I don't do scary movies. You know that.
- 14:18Speaker 2: Yeah, I feel like at one point you probably did, like,
- 14:24Speaker 2: but I just I won't. I have this like I
- 14:27Speaker 2: have this. I have this weird like standard that I
- 14:35Speaker 2: set for scary movies. It's like, if I'm going to
- 14:38Speaker 2: see a scary movie, it has to be like one
- 14:39Speaker 2: that's like well reviewed and like there's a lot of
- 14:43Speaker 2: hype behind it. Like I'm not going to go see
- 14:45Speaker 2: Black Phone two, but I'm very excited for the IT
- 14:51Speaker 2: prequel series to come out because those movies were like
- 14:56Speaker 2: they they were actual movies that were scary and not
- 15:00Speaker 2: just scary movies that are just scary.
- 15:02Speaker 3: I mean, I haven't watched any literally since we've been together,
- 15:05Speaker 3: so this has been like well over a decade, and
- 15:07Speaker 3: I just don't watch them anymore because I've no one
- 15:09Speaker 3: I'm not gonna be we saw it, yeah, but like
- 15:13Speaker 3: in high school, I feel like we love like especially
- 15:15Speaker 3: at my dad's house in the basement, you turn the
- 15:17Speaker 3: lights off and like, you know, my my parents live
- 15:19Speaker 3: on a farm in the middle of nowhere, and so
- 15:22Speaker 3: when it's dark and then it's a cornfield massacre movie,
- 15:26Speaker 3: it's really fun.
- 15:27Speaker 1: Like I didn't I didn't even I didn't even like
- 15:29Speaker 1: read goose Bumps. I didn't watch the goose Bumps. I didn't.
- 15:33Speaker 1: I didn't. I couldn't watch Are You Scared of the Dark, because.
- 15:36Speaker 2: I was Are You gonna be able to handle the
- 15:38Speaker 2: spook Tracular tomorrow. Oh yeah, the McCormick has a railroad
- 15:45Speaker 2: park and spook spook Tracula.
- 15:48Speaker 3: We're taking the kids there tomorrow, so we'll see if
- 15:50Speaker 3: Dad can handle the heat.
- 15:53Speaker 1: Ready for it? Do you but do you have a
- 15:57Speaker 1: favorite scary movie? No? Do you have?
- 16:00Speaker 3: Oh, The Haunting, The Haunting, The Haunting.
- 16:06Speaker 1: Yes.
- 16:06Speaker 3: I used to watch that movie all the time in
- 16:09Speaker 3: middle school and we like used to quote this movie.
- 16:14Speaker 3: I think Catherine Zada Jones is in it.
- 16:17Speaker 1: I can tell you I've never heard of I've never
- 16:21Speaker 1: heard of.
- 16:21Speaker 3: This movie I used to watch. It was probably middle
- 16:23Speaker 3: school and every time I had a sleep over with
- 16:26Speaker 3: Hannah Gaitle. Hannah Gaitle and I were a little weird
- 16:28Speaker 3: with like Banjo Kazooi and The Haunting.
- 16:32Speaker 1: Thank God, you are so specific on who this person is.
- 16:35Speaker 3: But like we would literally watch The Haunting and they
- 16:39Speaker 3: it was you go into this scary house and their
- 16:41Speaker 3: job is like to get the scary stuff out of
- 16:44Speaker 3: the house. It's it's not great, but like, we love
- 16:47Speaker 3: The Haunting. So I'm gonna say that because it's just
- 16:49Speaker 3: the one that I remember watching the most. But like,
- 16:52Speaker 3: like I would say I probably rented that, like we
- 16:54Speaker 3: would rent it monthly. I don't know why we just
- 16:56Speaker 3: didn't buy it.
- 16:57Speaker 2: I can probably count the number of scary movies I've seen,
- 17:00Speaker 2: you know, on like two hands.
- 17:01Speaker 1: I think I do. Yeah, I think I can't.
- 17:04Speaker 3: I mean obviously, like I think I saw one of
- 17:06Speaker 3: the Saws in theater with you. Like whenever I was
- 17:08Speaker 3: in high school.
- 17:08Speaker 2: Yeah, we had this weird tradition my friends and I
- 17:12Speaker 2: where we every year, like it was like four or
- 17:16Speaker 2: five years in a row, there was a new Saw
- 17:18Speaker 2: movie out, and we would go on a haunted hay ride,
- 17:21Speaker 2: which I hated, and then we would go.
- 17:24Speaker 1: See Saw X saw so much Field, right, I.
- 17:29Speaker 2: Mean we did a Litchfield before, but that's maybe where
- 17:32Speaker 2: we saw the first one. But then, yeah, it kind
- 17:36Speaker 2: of depended anyway, and I it like it.
- 17:41Speaker 1: Was like a tradition.
- 17:42Speaker 2: I don't even know how it started, because I hated
- 17:43Speaker 2: every minute of it.
- 17:45Speaker 1: I did.
- 17:46Speaker 2: I don't like being scared. Yeah, and I'm now I'm
- 17:49Speaker 2: trying to think I probably saw like maybe four or
- 17:53Speaker 2: five of the Saw movies.
- 17:56Speaker 3: So like haunted houses, will we ever go to? I've
- 17:58Speaker 3: never been to a haunted house with you.
- 17:59Speaker 1: I I just know you can go. You. You are
- 18:04Speaker 1: more than welcome to go any time.
- 18:06Speaker 2: But I like, there's the there's one that's literally like
- 18:10Speaker 2: four blocks from where we live, and I don't want
- 18:14Speaker 2: to go in. And it's just like because I don't
- 18:18Speaker 2: like the feeling of being scared. Yeah, so, like even
- 18:22Speaker 2: scary movies like I I'll sit on the edge of
- 18:25Speaker 2: my seat.
- 18:26Speaker 1: If I'm watching it, or I ever Scream.
- 18:30Speaker 2: I really I actually liked Scream because there was a
- 18:34Speaker 2: plot and it was different. But I'm not gonna I'm
- 18:38Speaker 2: not going to watch Candy Man.
- 18:41Speaker 3: So okay, so then what let's talk about what you
- 18:44Speaker 3: do like about Halloween. You don't like being scared, you
- 18:46Speaker 3: don't like scary movies. You love costumes, Okay, noted costumes
- 18:53Speaker 3: and candy that's what That's what you're here for.
- 18:55Speaker 1: I love costumes and I love Ghostbusters. Okay, deal, that
- 19:00Speaker 1: was that the dogg ors as a child? It's the
- 19:02Speaker 1: dog Okay.
- 19:04Speaker 3: But children have got to be tired after today, Yeah,
- 19:08Speaker 3: they have got to be tired.
- 19:10Speaker 2: We Yeah, so like Ghostbusters is like an annual tradition
- 19:15Speaker 2: I have, Like I love watching Ghostbusters around Halloween. I'm
- 19:19Speaker 2: trying to think my I mean, yeah, it's probably.
- 19:23Speaker 1: It and scream.
- 19:25Speaker 3: It's funny like new traditions with the kids. I think, like,
- 19:29Speaker 3: I don't know, we want I want to watch Halloween
- 19:31Speaker 3: Town still, I want to watch hocus Pocus Casper. I'm
- 19:35Speaker 3: add that to my annual lineup.
- 19:36Speaker 2: I just we were just we just watched Casper, and
- 19:39Speaker 2: it's probably the first time I've seen it since because
- 19:43Speaker 2: spoiler there were ghosts in it.
- 19:45Speaker 1: So I didn't really love it either when I was
- 19:49Speaker 1: when I was, you know, in my pre teenage. But
- 19:55Speaker 1: it was.
- 19:58Speaker 2: Silly in like all the best ways. There's some humor
- 20:02Speaker 2: in it that definitely can't it can't be replicated today
- 20:06Speaker 2: for a variety of reasons.
- 20:09Speaker 1: But when I turned to you.
- 20:12Speaker 2: At the end of the movie and Casper, the friendly
- 20:16Speaker 2: fucking ghost is what made you cry.
- 20:19Speaker 1: I mean I was like, what where do we live
- 20:24Speaker 1: right now?
- 20:25Speaker 2: This has to be like the worst timeline because I
- 20:28Speaker 2: don't get it.
- 20:29Speaker 3: It just really got me. I don't know, I felt
- 20:32Speaker 3: really just happy for him.
- 20:35Speaker 1: You're just kind ofted so hard to Devin Sawa.
- 20:38Speaker 3: I mean, the reveal whenever it's him and I don't know,
- 20:42Speaker 3: I still have a lot of questions. I don't understand
- 20:44Speaker 3: why his voice sounds like a toddler, and then all
- 20:47Speaker 3: of a sudden, he's like a thirteen year old heart throb.
- 20:49Speaker 3: I don't get it, but I'm here for it. I
- 20:52Speaker 3: want to watch it every year.
- 20:53Speaker 1: Now.
- 20:54Speaker 3: It gave me goonies vibes.
- 20:55Speaker 2: Now that and like that's so funny that that's what
- 20:59Speaker 2: because here for that. I would watch, Like I would
- 21:02Speaker 2: sit down and I would watch Beetlejuice right now.
- 21:05Speaker 3: Oh, i'd watch it. But I'm saying like with the kids,
- 21:07Speaker 3: like you know, like I don't think the kids would
- 21:09Speaker 3: want to watch I think they're too young for Beetlejuice
- 21:12Speaker 3: or Ghostbusters, but like Casper, they're great age for Casper,
- 21:17Speaker 3: except for like you know, when the dad dies and
- 21:20Speaker 3: then comes back to life or when the lady just died.
- 21:23Speaker 2: Yeah, there's like actually a lot of death. Yeah, there's
- 21:25Speaker 2: actually a lot of death in it.
- 21:27Speaker 3: And I didn't realize that. But that's okay.
- 21:30Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess I guess it's fine. I like that.
- 21:33Speaker 3: Yeah, Well, hocus Pocus not spooking the square Pumpkin.
- 21:39Speaker 2: No hard now, No, Like there are times where I'm like,
- 21:43Speaker 2: our children have the worst taste in entertainment.
- 21:47Speaker 3: I mean you're not wrong. Hey, we could take some credit.
- 21:52Speaker 3: We we decided to turn on Spooky once.
- 21:56Speaker 2: No, there was no WI there is there is no
- 22:00Speaker 2: we Like I can tell by like the screenshop most
- 22:04Speaker 2: of the time that this animation is is not going
- 22:08Speaker 2: to be up to.
- 22:08Speaker 3: Par I mean when the titles written in comic sands,
- 22:11Speaker 3: you know it's going to be good.
- 22:13Speaker 1: Yeah, and I'll tell you, I mean fabulous.
- 22:20Speaker 3: What other Halloween? Are we still talking Halloween?
- 22:23Speaker 1: Yeah? You got any Halloween questions?
- 22:25Speaker 2: No?
- 22:25Speaker 3: Are we going to talk about the dog? Is that
- 22:27Speaker 3: something that's going to happen?
- 22:28Speaker 1: Do you want to talk about the dog?
- 22:29Speaker 3: I mean, I feel like, you know, our loyal listeners
- 22:33Speaker 3: last heard us discussing our Adobe girl and then shocker.
- 22:41Speaker 3: It feels like it was like just yesterday, and now
- 22:44Speaker 3: we have a horse in the house.
- 22:51Speaker 1: We did we did.
- 22:52Speaker 2: We did adopt a dog from Love Pub and her
- 22:58Speaker 2: name was she It's now Betty Waffle And I was
- 23:05Speaker 2: in love pretty instantly. Yeah, and I will and I
- 23:08Speaker 2: will take full responsibility. Like this was I had put
- 23:13Speaker 2: down my foot and said no new dog until at
- 23:18Speaker 2: least January. There's just too much going on. There's too much,
- 23:22Speaker 2: we have too much going on. And then it was
- 23:26Speaker 2: like a week later. I was like in tears at
- 23:29Speaker 2: the rescue because I was like, this dog is supposed
- 23:31Speaker 2: to be for us.
- 23:33Speaker 3: I think you're missing some crucial plot points here though,
- 23:36Speaker 3: because like I mean, it was, I mean it was
- 23:39Speaker 3: obviously it was a month and a half. It wasn't
- 23:42Speaker 3: that long. But the house felt very quiet after Mabel
- 23:46Speaker 3: was gone. I'm looking up puppies, I'm I'm following eight
- 23:50Speaker 3: thousand rescue organizations on Instagram. And then we are boarding
- 23:55Speaker 3: a plane to Mexico. John Jay posted a picture of
- 23:58Speaker 3: that dog. You showed it to me. I said, if
- 24:01Speaker 3: you like this dog, gotta tell John Jay. Then, yeah,
- 24:06Speaker 3: your grandfather died. You met the dog the next day,
- 24:10Speaker 3: So I believe in whatever you want in terms of
- 24:14Speaker 3: I don't know, cosmic timing, whatever. It almost felt like
- 24:19Speaker 3: Mabel like sent us this dog. Grandpa's with her. I
- 24:23Speaker 3: don't know you met that dog, and I've never seen
- 24:26Speaker 3: you like you cried. It was like I did you
- 24:30Speaker 3: cried when you met her? And I was like, because
- 24:32Speaker 3: we got Mabel together, but I always felt like she
- 24:34Speaker 3: was more my dog. Yeah, like we got her together,
- 24:37Speaker 3: but like she could do no wrong in my art,
- 24:40Speaker 3: Like in my eyes she was my tiny little like
- 24:42Speaker 3: soul past.
- 24:43Speaker 1: She still can't do wrong in your eyes.
- 24:45Speaker 3: She can't know. She's a precious angel and no other
- 24:47Speaker 3: dog will compare. She was literally like the perfect angel.
- 24:51Speaker 3: And so like I feel like this dog is like yours,
- 24:54Speaker 3: like and I she's our family.
- 24:56Speaker 1: I feel like the kids.
- 24:58Speaker 3: But you know, and I don't mean that in the
- 24:59Speaker 3: mean way. I adore this dog. I love her, but
- 25:03Speaker 3: I feel like I have a little bit of a
- 25:04Speaker 3: guard up with her because I'm like, I mean, this
- 25:08Speaker 3: is well, look.
- 25:09Speaker 2: Every everybody who's ever owned a dog has had their dog, right, Like,
- 25:16Speaker 2: I don't think that's an uncommon thing where it's like
- 25:19Speaker 2: like you you know, you don't want to say you
- 25:22Speaker 2: would choose one over the other, but there is a
- 25:24Speaker 2: reality in that and that you will like like we
- 25:29Speaker 2: went through, like with Mabel, was like she went through
- 25:31Speaker 2: all these like seminal moments in our lives and you
- 25:36Speaker 2: can reflect and know that she was there for everything.
- 25:41Speaker 2: And when you start fresh and it is a it
- 25:45Speaker 2: is a different it's a different dog with a different
- 25:47Speaker 2: personality and.
- 25:48Speaker 3: A different different.
- 25:51Speaker 2: Age, like like there there is going to be some
- 25:55Speaker 2: bias and you know whatever. Way, the things that get
- 26:00Speaker 2: on your nerves about Betty don't get on my nerves
- 26:05Speaker 2: so much, Like I listen, I'll do Like, for example,
- 26:11Speaker 2: today you took her to the dog park and you
- 26:14Speaker 2: came back and you're like, she was wild, she was
- 26:19Speaker 2: a wild animal, chaos, she couldn't just she just wouldn't
- 26:23Speaker 2: stop jumping on people and whatever and blah blah blah.
- 26:26Speaker 2: Like I'll tell you, like if I'm at the dog
- 26:31Speaker 2: park and a dog comes and jumps.
- 26:33Speaker 1: On me, like I'm gonna be kind of like.
- 26:36Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe it's annoying, but I'm at the dog park,
- 26:39Speaker 2: so I get it. I would rather the dog do
- 26:44Speaker 2: that and be friendly than like angles, you know.
- 26:49Speaker 3: Or or oh, she's she's a nice dog, she's well trained,
- 26:54Speaker 3: she's a nice dog. She's a little jumpy. She's just different.
- 26:56Speaker 3: And I think that that's when they again, mable's the
- 26:58Speaker 3: first dog I've ever had that I loved and lost.
- 27:01Speaker 3: I didn't know about this side of it, Like I
- 27:03Speaker 3: wanted another dog so bad and then I'm like, oh,
- 27:06Speaker 3: it's just like it's you know, you're getting used to
- 27:09Speaker 3: it still, but like I mean, and.
- 27:11Speaker 1: I don't see she's perfect, Like yeah, like I do.
- 27:14Speaker 2: I do think Mabel, even in her puppy dum was
- 27:19Speaker 2: a little more docile, you know, yeah, like she was
- 27:23Speaker 2: a glorified cat.
- 27:25Speaker 1: She was a kid on the back of the couch.
- 27:27Speaker 1: She'd look out the window.
- 27:30Speaker 3: She was a cat. And I don't like cats, but I.
- 27:32Speaker 1: Love like that's that's what she was like.
- 27:38Speaker 3: And this is a dog.
- 27:39Speaker 1: Betty loves people. Betty loves to run, Betty loves to play.
- 27:44Speaker 2: She loves to like like I mean, thank god, Like
- 27:48Speaker 2: she doesn't chew on other things. Yeah, but it's like
- 27:54Speaker 2: we can't leave her in the kitchen alone because she's
- 27:56Speaker 2: definitely going to find something to.
- 27:57Speaker 3: Eat that Mabel was like two inches tall.
- 28:02Speaker 2: She had like five piece of bacon the other night,
- 28:05Speaker 2: and I was like, oh my god.
- 28:07Speaker 1: How did this happen?
- 28:09Speaker 3: She's so tall? She is, Yeah, she's not. I mean,
- 28:12Speaker 3: it's funny. I've everyone that's been like, oh my god,
- 28:14Speaker 3: she's huge. I'm like, she's only like forty five pounds.
- 28:16Speaker 3: I mean, like she is bigger than Mabel, but she's
- 28:18Speaker 3: not like a ninety pound animal.
- 28:20Speaker 2: And see, it's so funny hearing that because I grew
- 28:24Speaker 2: up with great danes. Yeah, and I see Betty and
- 28:26Speaker 2: I think she's a mid sized.
- 28:28Speaker 3: Dog and I call her.
- 28:31Speaker 2: You literally just called her a horse. Like five seconds ago.
- 28:35Speaker 2: We went like I took the kids to the to
- 28:39Speaker 2: the Cars and Canines event that Love Pup has every
- 28:42Speaker 2: year and they have a massive rescue And even when
- 28:46Speaker 2: I talk about huge dogs, like there is one dude
- 28:49Speaker 2: who was walking around this dog and I could have
- 28:50Speaker 2: sworn it was a lion.
- 28:52Speaker 1: Yeah, it was so huge.
- 28:54Speaker 2: And I see her and I'm like, yeah, she's bigger
- 28:56Speaker 2: than what we had, but she's not.
- 29:00Speaker 1: She's not ginormous, no, you know, I mean she.
- 29:03Speaker 3: Like I said, she's she's a great girl. Like I
- 29:07Speaker 3: am so glad that we were able to work with
- 29:11Speaker 3: Blake and the organization to get her. I mean, she's
- 29:14Speaker 3: Blake said she was such a good girl, and she is.
- 29:17Speaker 3: It's just you know, it's a different family member, a
- 29:21Speaker 3: different vibe. And I really think Mabel sent her. I
- 29:25Speaker 3: think Mabel and Grandpa Jay sent her to us. I
- 29:27Speaker 3: really do.
- 29:28Speaker 1: Yeah, But I mean there's a time you needed her
- 29:31Speaker 1: and I'm not.
- 29:32Speaker 2: You know, I'm not one of those people who kind
- 29:35Speaker 2: of like believes in you know, things written in the
- 29:38Speaker 2: stars or whatever. But it was very it was it
- 29:44Speaker 2: was all very odd. I am when I know you are.
- 29:49Speaker 3: There's literally Nick, you had not even John J posts
- 29:52Speaker 3: pictures of dogs every day that you would never even
- 29:55Speaker 3: bat it an eye. You saw that one and you
- 29:57Speaker 3: literally said, I don't know why, but the picture of
- 30:00Speaker 3: this dog is speaking to me. And I've never heard
- 30:03Speaker 3: you say that ever. And I was like, oh, this
- 30:08Speaker 3: is happening.
- 30:10Speaker 2: And I did like and it was I just had
- 30:13Speaker 2: this weird sense that if we didn't at least meet her,
- 30:16Speaker 2: I would regret it. Yeah, And then and then you know,
- 30:24Speaker 2: three days later, my grandpa and so it's like, you know,
- 30:28Speaker 2: maybe there was some emotional decision making that came into play.
- 30:38Speaker 3: There's always going to be right, like people get dogs
- 30:41Speaker 3: for there's an emotional component of pet ownership. I think, yes,
- 30:46Speaker 3: maybe your emotions were a little high, but I mean
- 30:49Speaker 3: so were Theo's because she wasn't yellow and a.
- 30:52Speaker 1: Dog, yeah, a boy dog, I mean yeah.
- 30:55Speaker 2: I mean it was funny seeing him because he he
- 30:58Speaker 2: might love dogs more than any kid I've ever met.
- 31:03Speaker 2: And we went when we went to Love Pop, he
- 31:08Speaker 2: was wearing his Disney dog shirt Pluto and the Dalmatians
- 31:12Speaker 2: and Lady and the Tramp on it.
- 31:13Speaker 1: And he was not thrilled that the.
- 31:17Speaker 2: Dog wasn't named Blueto, and that it wasn't yellow, and
- 31:20Speaker 2: it didn't have big floppy and it wasn't a boy.
- 31:25Speaker 1: But now he can't. Oh he loves her, he can't
- 31:27Speaker 1: leave her alone.
- 31:28Speaker 3: Yeah, he adores her. Yeah, I mean we had to
- 31:32Speaker 3: really theo. There are no actual dogs that are yellow. Yes,
- 31:39Speaker 3: there are Pluto. Well that's because they use paint on him.
- 31:45Speaker 3: That's not a real dog.
- 31:48Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 31:48Speaker 3: So yeah, we need to figure out a cartoon, or
- 31:51Speaker 3: not a cartoon, a costume for Betty. We always included
- 31:54Speaker 3: Mabel in the costumes. I don't know what can she be,
- 31:57Speaker 3: like an acorn or something.
- 31:59Speaker 1: Maybe she be one of the chipets.
- 32:01Speaker 3: I'm sure they just make chip At costumes for dogs.
- 32:07Speaker 3: Now we're talking niche.
- 32:09Speaker 1: We'll do some good. That's what makes a niche. What else?
- 32:13Speaker 3: What else we got?
- 32:14Speaker 1: I get it? I have more than one niche. Nick
- 32:20Speaker 1: You mean niece? Good mine? I like it? Okay, super
- 32:26Speaker 1: weird transition, but my eye is on fire and I
- 32:31Speaker 1: don't know what happened.
- 32:34Speaker 2: Itched and I went to scratch it, and then it
- 32:40Speaker 2: felt like burning hot coal is stuck inside and I
- 32:48Speaker 2: don't know what to really do about it.
- 32:50Speaker 3: Well, I have an idea. Yeah, you could just dress
- 32:54Speaker 3: up as a pirate. Tis the season?
- 32:56Speaker 1: Oh fair, that is fair. I have the very feminine
- 33:01Speaker 1: Captain Hook costume in the garage. Perhaps that perhaps that'll
- 33:08Speaker 1: be revisited.
- 33:08Speaker 3: No one could judge you all week. Just start wearing
- 33:11Speaker 3: a patch.
- 33:11Speaker 1: Yeah it hurts. We have her like the company Halloween
- 33:17Speaker 1: party this week, and I actually think we could win
- 33:21Speaker 1: the win the take home the ship. As the youths say,
- 33:27Speaker 1: are you allowed to what it is? No? I cannot
- 33:30Speaker 1: say yet. Of goodness, it will be a reveal.
- 33:32Speaker 3: I mean, you'll tell me when we're off of this, right.
- 33:34Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 33:35Speaker 2: I wonder though, because they're having like a Halloween like
- 33:38Speaker 2: pot luck too, and last year they did like a
- 33:42Speaker 2: full karaoke.
- 33:44Speaker 1: I don't think it was a contest.
- 33:46Speaker 3: Did you win?
- 33:48Speaker 2: If it was a contest, I did not win, But
- 33:52Speaker 2: I think I surprised a lot of people in my
- 33:55Speaker 2: in my passion, I.
- 33:57Speaker 3: Mean, karaoke is your spirit?
- 34:00Speaker 2: Can you God, dang, you hear me talk more than
- 34:03Speaker 2: any other person? Can you tell that my nose is
- 34:07Speaker 2: also starting to get like stuffy about what just happened.
- 34:10Speaker 3: I don't know what's happening.
- 34:11Speaker 2: I feel like I don't Then I'm like, I'm going
- 34:14Speaker 2: back in my brain to think about what it could
- 34:19Speaker 2: be that I've washed my hands like four or five
- 34:21Speaker 2: times tonight, and maybe like the kid's bubbles.
- 34:30Speaker 1: But I also wasn't close. I wasn't close.
- 34:32Speaker 3: I wasn't touching the bubbles anyway.
- 34:34Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know. I don't know. I think maybe
- 34:37Speaker 1: a fingernail, whatever it is.
- 34:39Speaker 2: That's always the joke, right, It's like, oh, no, there's
- 34:42Speaker 2: something in my eye and you say, what was.
- 34:45Speaker 1: It your finger?
- 34:47Speaker 3: That's your joke.
- 34:47Speaker 1: I know, that's what I'm saying. I thought you would know.
- 34:51Speaker 3: No, I mean, maybe you like a hangnail or something.
- 34:53Speaker 1: I don't know, but I don't know if there is
- 34:55Speaker 1: a hangnail in my eye, I need someone.
- 35:01Speaker 3: To perfectly spook I know, Oh.
- 35:05Speaker 1: My god, tomorrow. What if I'm What if I'm a grandma?
- 35:09Speaker 1: I mean, if that's not.
- 35:10Speaker 2: One of the three rules, Nick, what if the other
- 35:12Speaker 2: guy goes next?
- 35:16Speaker 1: Would you still love me if I was blind?
- 35:19Speaker 2: Okay, even if it was even if I went blind,
- 35:22Speaker 2: over somebody stupid like I got dog poop, because that's
- 35:26Speaker 2: the other thing. I picked up dog poop, I mean,
- 35:30Speaker 2: and I washed my hands after that too.
- 35:32Speaker 3: I don't think dog poop would make your blind.
- 35:39Speaker 1: That's it. At least you covered it up.
- 35:44Speaker 3: I'm sorry, I'm tired.
- 35:46Speaker 1: It's okay. You're so cute when you're tired.
- 35:48Speaker 3: I'm sleepy girl.
- 35:49Speaker 1: Okay, Well, thanks for tuning in. Have a happy Halloween.
