13-Spooky Season Deep Dive: The Superstitions That Haunt Our Relationship ladders vs numbers · Arguing Ever After

0:14
Hello and welcome to Arguing Ever After.
0:17
I am Luke and this is my spooky wife, Amber.
0:20
Hello, we are the Lord and Lady who lock horns.
0:24
The count and Countess of contention.
0:26
The Duke and Duchess of Disagreement.
0:28
And the king and queen of quarrels.
0:30
We have been together since Neve Campbell came back to star in
0:33
the epic blockbuster Scream Two. We have argued about practically
0:38
everything and yet we're still together and happy.
0:41
In this entertainment only podcast, we will bicker about
0:43
all things big and small and the audience gets the final say on
0:47
who the winner is. We do not claim to be
0:50
relationship experts by any means.
0:53
We will debate lots of things, many of which are frequently
0:55
submitted by our listeners. So if you have a topic you want
0:58
us non professionals to battle over before you try it at home,
1:01
please send it to us at arguingeverafter@gmail.com.
1:05
Perhaps this completely unscientific method of letting
1:08
the masses decide who is right can help settle your argument
1:12
before you even have it. And so here we are at episode
1:18
number. 13. The lucky or unlucky #13.
1:24
Yeah, who knows, We'll see which one it is, if it's lucky or
1:28
unlucky. I'll tell you when it is lucky,
1:30
when it's a Baker's dozen. It is really, yeah.
1:34
I don't know why people always hate the number 13 so much
1:37
'cause I feel like, I mean, well, we have a 13 year old
1:40
daughter, that's great. That's a good number.
1:43
Yeah, and like you said, a Baker's dozen.
1:46
Like who doesn't want something more?
1:48
I love extra pastries. Right, right.
1:50
So 13, I don't think for me, I don't think it's a bad number,
1:53
but. Sometimes it's unlucky.
1:56
Sometimes it is unlucky. As a matter of fact, it was
1:59
unlucky for us not that long ago.
2:01
Uh. Oh.
2:03
We have already recorded this episode once.
2:05
We did try real hard. Yeah, went through the whole
2:08
thing and we had no sound so. A full episode.
2:14
Yeah, yeah, it looked great. It did.
2:17
It looked really good and I think we had a really fun time
2:20
recording. You know what though, your
2:22
argument was really hollow. No sound.
2:26
Sorry for the joke people, I'm not good at them.
2:28
No, he's not, but that's OK because this just means we have
2:33
a second opportunity to discuss the same things we talked about
2:38
before because our topic has not changed.
2:40
That's true. But before we get too far into
2:44
our topic, I wanted to say some pretty great things that has
2:48
happened for us for #13. Drum roll please.
2:53
Yeah, we have 3 new states. Three states.
2:57
And we're gonna call them out cuz that's just what we do.
3:00
Yep, the three states are New York.
3:03
New York. Texas.
3:06
Big, old Texas. And one that is not a state, but
3:10
it it's listed as a state DC. It counts in spirit.
3:14
Well I feel like they have their own license plate.
3:18
They do, it says taxation without representation.
3:21
Right. So I feel like that's probably a
3:22
little unfair feeling if you for sure live there, but.
3:26
And there's a whole reason for it, like it was written into the
3:29
founding documents of our country that it shouldn't be a
3:33
state. But I don't know the history
3:35
there. My brother would know it better
3:38
being that he lives nearby and works there at some point.
3:42
I don't remember enough to actually have an intelligent
3:44
delivery of the facts, but I remember there being some
3:48
specific reason politically why it didn't have representation in
3:53
Congress. Well, it's interesting because
3:55
like we've been to DC and it's everything.
3:59
So many things are free there because we're already paying for
4:02
it in our federal taxes. I wonder if it has something to
4:04
do with the fact that it is federally funded so much I.
4:06
Don't I? I literally don't know.
4:09
I don't neither but but maybe they do pay like DC taxes.
4:14
You know what? We're losing people for sure
4:16
talking about taxes and politics.
4:20
Adulting Real. Fun.
4:22
Let's get back to what we're really here.
4:24
For so so those were the those were some states that we wanted
4:29
to welcome to our show and hopefully welcome back.
4:32
And then we also caught another country.
4:37
This is awesome. It's.
4:39
Quite amazing. It is bonkers we have multiple.
4:46
Multiple. Listeners from Taiwan.
4:49
Taiwan, that is crazy, and as tradition would have it, it's my
4:54
job to attempt to say hello in the language, which this is
4:59
going to sound wrong, but I'm going to give it a shot.
5:01
OK, Hello. The formal hello in Taiwan is
5:05
Lin Ho. Yes, that's it.
5:07
There's multiple people. Yes, or it's a formal greeting
5:10
to one person. Yeah, yeah.
5:12
So I'm I'm into it. So.
5:14
Yes, so Lynn Ho. Yeah, welcome and I hope you
5:17
share it with other folks. Yeah, and happy bonkers.
5:21
It's pretty fun. Yeah, yeah.
5:23
So. Maybe they won't know about what
5:24
we're doing over here this time of year, but maybe they will.
5:28
Well. I don't know.
5:30
We got to talk about a little bit.
5:32
Spooky season is upon us, people.
5:35
It is. It's my favorite season.
5:38
It's for sure, as I've said before, you're the Queen of
5:41
Halloween. Oh, and anyone watching that
5:43
thinks they're the Queen of Halloween.
5:45
I'm sure you'd be best of friends with Amber, but she is
5:48
the Queen of Halloween. Let's join forces like message
5:51
me and. Like wonder, Twin powers unite.
5:56
I love talking with people who love Halloween and that who love
6:01
Halloween decorating and all of that It's.
6:04
It's I love that it never turns off for you.
6:07
No. You'll be like in February
6:10
looking at Halloween stuff. It's fun also, sometimes you can
6:14
find some really good deals then, you know, I, I definitely
6:18
enjoy some Halloween shopping, but it's, it's just fun.
6:22
I, it's my favorite holiday of the year and I do think about it
6:27
far before October. I love how the social media is
6:32
talking about it in August and all of that, 'cause I'm, I'm
6:35
ready. I'm ready for it.
6:37
And I don't know, I feel like I'm not as ready as usual
6:41
because I'm not mentally ready to start decorating the house.
6:44
MMM. Well, that's fair, and it's not.
6:48
I mean, the airing of this is gonna come out later, but it's
6:50
not actually October yet. Right.
6:53
I mean, we've done a little early decorating and we have a
6:56
neighbor down in the street who's got their 12 foot skeleton
6:59
up already. Big old skelly.
7:01
Yeah. And so I feel like we should be
7:04
supporting them. And I drove another house on the
7:07
street already had some decorations in their window.
7:10
And you know, Skelly Gate, that's on, it's popping.
7:14
Yeah, well, that's all. You.
7:15
It's a local sensation. It is.
7:17
Look it up. It's sort of funny.
7:18
Skelly Gate. Yeah, it's actually hilarious.
7:21
It's. Really funny.
7:22
They have Halloween decorations all year and they have some
7:25
stodgy neighbor who's like freaking out and threatening
7:28
them with the city. And of course, it's totally
7:32
legal to do what you want on your own property, so there's
7:35
nothing to fight. This is why we don't live in a
7:37
HOA. Yeah, couldn't, I couldn't have
7:40
somebody else tell me what to do with my yard or house or right
7:44
mind your business people. Right.
7:45
I mean, it's not that hard. It's, I mean, I say that, but
7:50
then also I don't necessarily. We are a little judgy sometimes.
7:52
Yeah, yeah. I mean, we had our Halloween
7:56
decorations up and it was before Halloween and we had a neighbor
7:59
who had already put up Christmas decorations.
8:02
That was fun. I I was like hissing at them out
8:05
because we had. Well, we had our annual.
8:07
Directly but. We had our annual Halloween
8:09
party and we were fully lighted and decorated and spooked out
8:15
and everything and all our friends came over for our
8:17
Halloween party and the neighbor had a real bright, real snowy
8:22
looking, real Christmasy decoration in their front yard.
8:26
It was. It was too much.
8:28
It was totally annoying, was what it was, but it's their.
8:32
Right. I thought about taking it down,
8:35
going rogue and just taking their stuff down.
8:38
We didn't. That's probably good.
8:39
We didn't and it's not the the neighbor who has listened to
8:43
this show. So that's true.
8:45
I wonder if they had any issue with it because they also
8:48
decorate too. They do all sorts of fun stuff.
8:51
She's really talented at the decorating over there.
8:54
So. But anyhow, I don't feel like
8:58
ready, ready for it. It's a lot of work, but I did
9:03
put on my Halloween tire cover just today because I felt my
9:10
other one was too submarine. Which cover did you go with?
9:14
It's a Haunted Mansion one. The hitchhiking ghosts, Yeah.
9:18
Yeah, I love it. I'm ready for it.
9:19
So it'll be kind of fun to it it Maybe that'll help bring me into
9:25
the It's so much work and it. It's a lot, and this year I
9:28
might not be as useful. I don't know.
9:32
My, my, my body is betraying me. Well, this happens.
9:36
This happens. Well, anyhow, so, so those are
9:42
things that we're looking forward to and we're hoping to
9:45
have a few spooky episodes for folks because I, it's endless
9:51
for me the joy I receive from from this giving season, you
9:57
know? It keeps on giving.
10:02
It does keep on giving. Yeah, yeah, it's wonderful.
10:06
So, but 13, right. We were talking about a little
10:10
bit earlier about lucky, unlucky.
10:14
And I find it interesting that that the number is unlucky in
10:22
some places, but it is lucky other places.
10:26
I did some research on that and I just was like why is 1?
10:31
Why is it one way and and the other and I couldn't actually
10:34
figure out why it was a lucky number where it was a lucky
10:38
number? Well, tell us what your research
10:39
said. Well, for the unlucky reason,
10:46
people are superstitious about the number 13 and it goes way
10:51
back. Way back.
10:53
Way back and there was, it's really more of a Western culture
11:01
to be afraid of, OK, and not afraid of.
11:04
But there are, Oh my gosh, 10% of the people out there in
11:09
America, OK, have a phobia of the number 13.
11:12
That's a measurable number. That is crazy.
11:15
Yeah, there's a special term. 10%. 10%.
11:18
That's unreasonable. 10% but going back to the origins of it.
11:25
So for in Christianity, OK, 12 is considered the perfect
11:34
number. The perfect number because the
11:37
apostles. Well, I but not just that,
11:39
there's also 12 months in a year.
11:42
I don't remember the other 12. There's the 12 hours, well, if
11:46
you, if you're on our clock and not European clock, which is
11:50
like 4 hour clock, yeah. So 12 is really good, but yeah,
11:53
you were saying that a. Dozen.
11:55
Sadly, not a Baker's, but a dozen.
11:58
Yeah, but that has nothing to do with what the origins of.
12:02
Oh, but I mean one of I, I guess I meant what if they they did
12:05
the 12 because that was. Because are you saying like a
12:08
dozen eggs has been around for like maybe 2000 years?
12:12
I. Mean at some point somebody made
12:13
it up. I suppose.
12:15
There's 12 inches in a foot. OK, so but why the number 13 was
12:21
because you had? There's two reasons actually.
12:25
OK, because at the Last Supper, the 13th person at the table,
12:33
yeah, betrayed Jesus. Uh oh.
12:36
And that's Judas for anyone who doesn't know.
12:40
So. But it had been 12, so it's good
12:42
enough. Pronounce Judas a chariot.
12:45
Yeah. It's close to that, I can't
12:52
remember Scariot. OK, so.
12:54
Sorry people did not grow up in a Christian home.
12:59
No, you, you did not it. Turned out great though.
13:02
Yeah, thanks. Mom.
13:04
And then the other one had to do with Norse mythology.
13:09
OK. And how to do with Loki?
13:13
OK. And some dinner Loki was at.
13:16
Was it his final supper? I I don't think so.
13:19
I mean, that would be pretty. Good 'cause Loki's a bad guy,
13:21
right? Well, no, he's the God of
13:24
mischief and the brother brother of Thor.
13:27
So he can be bad, but I don't think like like overall that
13:34
he's bad. I feel like it could have been a
13:37
dinner, but also I could be like mistaking that a little bit.
13:41
But he killed somebody and they were the 13th person there.
13:46
So I don't know why, but I remember reading about the
13:49
person. It was like somebody's son or
13:52
nephew. And this is a really like deep
13:55
research, OK, but also another God.
13:58
So I don't, I don't know how a God can kill a God, but you know
14:01
what happens. Feel like that's the only way,
14:02
right? I have no idea.
14:04
I don't think, well, I guess I don't know.
14:06
And maybe it wasn't a full God, maybe it was a partial God, but
14:09
the person who was was the parent of whoever Loki killed
14:14
was supposed to be a really good person or goth really good God.
14:18
But you don't know the name. I saw it started with AB and I
14:22
could be really wrong about that 'cause I will think of things
14:25
and I'll be like oh it starts with the letter B and it'll be
14:27
the letter Q. Just.
14:30
Yeah, that's exactly what I'm thinking.
14:31
But it's not that. And I want to say it started
14:33
with like Baio something and it probably didn't maybe.
14:37
That is what it is. And someone's watching and
14:39
they're like, you're idiots. That's what it is.
14:41
Yeah, well. Comment whatever it is because
14:45
I'm more likely to read the comment than think about going
14:48
back to the Wikipedia. That's true to say what was that
14:52
you never know. I might so, but it anyhow, what
14:56
the Christian Church wanted was doing a lot of back in the day
15:01
when they were forming was they were finding things that pagans
15:08
also like their types of deals, things they believed in and they
15:13
would kind of adopt them. So I don't know if that is the
15:17
reason why 13 became so big because they're they were cool.
15:21
These folks believe 13 is a bad number.
15:24
We can find a parallel bad number here because 13 is bad
15:28
there too. So I don't I don't understand
15:32
that but. There's also the Friday the
15:38
13th. Yes.
15:40
Which is a movie? Was it a book?
15:42
I don't know if it was a book, I'm sure there's Is it based on
15:45
actual events? Friday the 13th the movie.
15:48
Wait, is that Freddy Krueger? Which one's Jason?
15:53
I don't remember. Yes, Luke, it's based on actual
16:00
events. Please don't go to sleep
16:02
tonight. Uh, that's the wrong one.
16:04
I meant the one with the slasher Jason.
16:07
You think that's based on actual events?
16:08
I don't know. Isn't that based on something in
16:11
Minnesota? Isn't that a what the thing that
16:13
we're at can't Lake, Lake Camp, Crystal Camp, Lake Camp?
16:18
I don't know. I thought it was maybe it was
16:20
filmed in Minnesota. I feel like there's a Minnesota
16:23
tie to that movie. Yeah, but.
16:24
That's not Friday the 13th, so we could just move on.
16:27
It's fine. Any who it is.
16:29
It is played around this time of year often as well as the
16:33
Michael Myers. Yeah.
16:34
Oh, I think that's called Halloween.
16:36
That would make sense why they play at this time of year,
16:38
wouldn't it? Well, I'm crushing it right now.
16:41
Else they play at this time of year.
16:42
Rocky Horror Picture Show Hello OH.
16:46
The Rocky. Horror.
16:46
Oh, and it's like an anniversary or there was some big news
16:49
article I read. They're having like all kinds of
16:51
parties everywhere. I want to go to 1 I.
16:53
Think it's the 50th anniversary if I remember right.
16:57
So. Which is crazy.
16:58
That would mean 1975. Oh, if anyone's local and going
17:03
to a show and has an extra ticket or is like Amber, let's
17:06
do it. Yeah.
17:07
And I still. Wear the leather costume in a
17:12
black curly wig and some real red lipstick.
17:16
Black eyeshadow just bringing it.
17:18
I won't wear any. Anything, maybe.
17:24
Oh gosh, no, I can't remember the maid's name.
17:27
Maybe I dress up like her. The German one.
17:30
Wait, is that clue I'm mixing up the movies?
17:32
It's holy gosh. Why am I crushing it?
17:35
Yeah, yeah, you guys, I just want you all to know if you're
17:37
listening or watching. I can't remember stuff.
17:40
No, it's all, it kind of just gets mixed in together.
17:44
It's like, you know, mashed potatoes.
17:46
We're just putting it all in there and mixing it up.
17:48
There's not that many things in mashed potatoes.
17:51
Well, there's at least five things. 5 All salt.
17:55
Salt. Pepper, Pepper.
17:58
Potatoes, butter, butter, cream. OK, that's fine.
18:03
All right, there you go. Take that.
18:05
All right, I was just thinking 3.
18:07
Anyway, it's Friday the 13th. OK so for Friday the 13th, do
18:12
you know why Friday the 13th is also now a bad luck day?
18:17
Like like 13th bad. Why?
18:19
It's a bad luck day for me. So it's not really a bad luck
18:23
day for me. The movie was bad for me as a
18:26
kid 'cause when it came out and I don't know the year, but it
18:29
was a long time ago and I was still fairly young at the time.
18:34
My older brothers who are quite a bit older, four and six years
18:36
older than me, they wanted to watch this new scary movie and I
18:40
feel like they were both well into their teens, maybe like
18:43
they were 14 and 16 and that would have made me 10 or they
18:45
were 13 and 15 and that would have made me 9 and I don't know
18:49
how or why. Maybe my mom was on a work trip
18:51
so I don't even know. Anyway, so we all watched this
18:54
movie and I had terrible nightmares.
18:57
I literally thought Freddy Krueger was killing me in my
19:00
dreams. I had nightmares.
19:02
I was crying. It was terrible, terrible.
19:05
So, older brothers, if you're listening, that was bad of you.
19:11
But you know what it did? It did give us a really good
19:14
Halloween song. It did.
19:16
Nightmare on my Street by Fresh Prince.
19:18
Yep. And Jazzy Jeff?
19:20
DJ Jazzy Jeff, that's what's up. If you aren't familiar, please
19:24
look for it. It's great.
19:26
It's. Didn't that win like AI feel
19:29
like that won like a Grammy or something?
19:30
No way. It might have.
19:33
I mean, I'm not kidding. I know.
19:36
Will Smith was, I think, the first rapper to win a Grammy.
19:42
You. Think for I mean.
19:43
It might have not been that. It might have been like, what
19:46
was that? Parents don't understand was
19:49
that was a big hit back in the day, right?
19:52
Anyway. Well, I would say you all should
19:55
listen to it and decide if you think it should have won a
19:58
Grammy, whether or not again, Nightmare on My Street.
20:03
That was our daughter's, one of her favorite songs for a really
20:06
long time. And if you haven't seen.
20:10
Any Friday the 13th movies it'll essentially sum it up for you.
20:14
Don't. Watch them if you're a kid
20:15
though, I mean. I don't know if it's scary.
20:18
Her kid. Actually, they might be like,
20:19
why does this look all grainy and low quality, which is what
20:22
our daughter does. Every time you see something
20:23
older than like, I don't know, 2000, it's like.
20:26
It's an ancient. Movie.
20:27
This looks like it's from the old times.
20:31
But watching scary movies though as a kid is pretty it's.
20:36
It's a rite of passage. It is, it's super, it's super
20:39
important, I think, for kids to watch them and I think it
20:42
depends on I don't, I don't know.
20:45
It's good to have some fun scares.
20:47
I love scary movies though. I really do.
20:50
And I why don't? We watch them.
20:53
'Cause you get too scared. Well, I could participate.
20:58
Yeah, I'm sure. I don't know.
21:01
There are some that I'm like. Do you have any on the list
21:03
right now that you're like, I want to watch this and you
21:05
haven't? I no, I don't, but I'm sure what
21:09
as we get closer to Halloween, I'll come up with some.
21:12
I'm gonna give you one free pass.
21:14
I'll watch one and hope to goodness I don't have
21:16
nightmares. OK?
21:18
Freddy Krueger's coming for me again.
21:20
Yeah, watching you, Freddy. I don't think I would pick one
21:23
of those. I don't like this like slasher
21:26
gore movies, but I've really liked some of those.
21:31
Like what is it like? Get out and oh.
21:34
That was a good movie. The one where they had like the
21:38
they don't. Even call that a horror movie.
21:40
Well, I don't know. Oh, the one that he also made,
21:43
that's what's his name? Peele.
21:44
Yeah. Jordan Peele.
21:46
A great movie. Yeah, that was a messed up
21:49
movie. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
21:52
I like the the lead. I can't say her name.
21:57
Neopto. Anyway.
21:59
I can't I can't say her name, but she was amazing in that US
22:03
movie. Yep.
22:05
Scared the socks off I think. She was in two of his movies.
22:09
I feel like they collab quite a bit.
22:11
But maybe I'm thinking that movie if you haven't seen it,
22:15
see it if you like a scary movie because I might be parsing 2
22:19
movies because I will do that where I'll think it's.
22:22
Sure, make fun of me for doing it.
22:23
Here you go. No, I mean, what?
22:25
No, just because I might think it's two different movies.
22:28
I don't know. Anyhow, I liked that one a lot
22:31
and I'm sure there's going to be one out there that I like.
22:33
I just don't like too much gore, and not because I'm scared of
22:37
the gore, it just is I like. Oh, there's a new movie that
22:41
came out recently that people are all talking about called
22:45
Weapons. I think it's, I think it's a
22:47
horror movie and it's like not a gory horror movie.
22:50
You might want to look into that.
22:51
I, I prefer suspense, but you know, it's, it's important.
22:56
I don't I from a very young age I've been interested in scary
23:00
movies. My favorite movie when I was in
23:03
first grade. 1st grade. 1st grade psycho.
23:07
I mean, I knew you were going to say psycho, but I first grade,
23:11
yeah. Yeah.
23:13
Your your mother who's going to watch or listen to this?
23:17
Let you watch. She did.
23:19
Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho in first grade.
23:24
Oh, my mom let me watch all Alfred Hitchcock movies.
23:27
Oh my goodness. I think that was in preparation
23:31
for a trip we were going on. Yeah, it's like here we're going
23:34
to go. On vacation here, watch this
23:36
crazy psycho, literally psycho come all slasher mad because his
23:41
dead mom's sitting up in the house and he's having
23:44
conversations with her. I dressing up like her.
23:48
My godmother also would have us watch scary movies as man.
23:52
I watched Cujo with her. Yeah, so.
23:55
Scary movie tech. Cujo, Stephen King with a rabid.
24:00
I mean, the dog was scary, but I don't know if I'd call it like
24:03
a. Horror movie?
24:04
I'm pretty sure it's in the horror.
24:05
Stephen King, Any? Stephen King is.
24:07
Yeah, he makes some. Spooky stuff and I saw Pet
24:09
Sematary. With a S.
24:12
Was it cemeteries? No, no, I think it's spelled.
24:15
I think he spells Pet Sematary with an S.
24:17
Oh, I think so too, yeah. Which I don't understand.
24:19
Actually, there's probably a reason I don't.
24:23
I don't think that matters to to me or you, but so but I watched
24:27
a lot of those scary movies and I had a lot of fun with them and
24:31
that's great. It kind of really probably
24:34
desensitized me, but also again, shaped me as a human being.
24:38
One of the reasons I like scary stuff is I get to think back
24:42
fondly on my child. So yeah, but that originally I,
24:49
I'm going to come back to what we had talked about in the
24:52
beginning of why Friday the 13th.
24:55
So again, in Western culture, Friday the 13th is worse than
25:01
regular 13th. It's like a double whammy
25:05
because on Friday the 13th, and I don't know how long ago, you
25:10
know, hundreds of years ago, the Knights Templar were slaughtered
25:17
by either a king or a Pope or something.
25:21
I don't know. But that was done on Friday the
25:24
13th. And so people were like, the
25:26
13th's already bad, now Friday's bad.
25:28
And actually, Friday is considered the worst day of the
25:31
week to biblically speaking. That makes no sense.
25:37
I thought it was called Good Friday in that one holiday.
25:42
Is that lent? Did I do something?
25:46
Wrong. Again, for all you watching
25:47
people and listening, I did not grow up in a Christian house.
25:51
She's got this. Look, I know it's coming because
25:52
you did. I messed up.
25:54
Is it What's? What's so?
25:56
It's not, I mean. It's not Good Friday.
25:58
So I guess what is good is that Jesus was like, yeah, I'll die
26:04
for all of you like it. Was the day he died.
26:07
What is the day he died? Uh oh.
26:09
So like good my. Bad y'all.
26:12
Good. I don't know.
26:13
I mean 'cause I guess that needed to happen for the rest to
26:16
happen for folks. I hope we didn't just
26:18
unsubscribe people. I they probably might just be
26:21
praying for you. That's probably that's toss a
26:25
rosary my way people. I'll take it.
26:27
Yeah, so those those, that would be the reason why.
26:30
But Friday also was the day I read this and I I don't remember
26:35
this being a thing growing up, but that they believe that Adam
26:40
and Eve, well technically Eve ate from the tree of knowledge.
26:45
On Friday the 13th. On a Friday.
26:47
On a Friday. Yes, I feel like that's a
26:50
stretch. Well.
26:51
Did they even have a calendar? Weren't they technically like
26:54
immortal? No.
26:58
Didn't they become mortals because of the apple?
27:01
That I No, no, no, I don't think so.
27:05
I don't. Clearly you know more of this
27:07
than I do. I feel like maybe and if I'm
27:10
wrong I really. Maybe you know that I don't.
27:12
I don't know. I'm not even sure.
27:14
Immortal. I think you might.
27:16
Be so the the the tree of knowledge, the apple of
27:18
knowledge. Well, maybe.
27:20
I probably wasn't. Was that considered the first
27:23
sin or something? I feel like I heard that.
27:25
Yeah, yeah, OK. Mm hmm.
27:27
This is on a Friday. That's what they said.
27:29
And based on my interest, I don't remember that being a
27:33
thing in like growing up learning.
27:36
Yeah. But I, I was curious about why
27:38
Friday the 13th. Friday, my favorite day of the
27:41
week. You know what other
27:43
superstitions are out there? Yeah, a lot.
27:46
A lot. A lot like people are
27:49
superstitious about all kind of things like the the mirror one
27:54
if like is it if you break a mirror or if you see yourself in
27:57
a broken mirror? I think if you break out a
28:00
mirror. Breaking a mirror?
28:01
That's bad news also. Seven years bad luck.
28:04
I feel like that's messed up because you basically are like
28:08
breaking your face. Like if you go, you know what
28:11
I'm saying? Are you thinking it could be an
28:12
accident? I was thinking you got mad and
28:15
broke it on purpose because. That no, I think it's just if
28:18
you break it, like you drop it and all of that, you would get
28:22
mad and break them. No, I've never done that.
28:25
I don't think this is that's. Just what came to my brain like
28:27
why would you break a mirror? But I could see it being a more
28:29
of an accident, like if you were carrying a mirror.
28:32
Yes, that would be more likely. That would be more likely.
28:37
Yeah. So that that is something that
28:39
is, you know, people can be superstitious about when I've
28:42
broken mirrors, which is I think I, I recall doing it twice.
28:48
Both times I was like oh I don't know did I do something bad or
28:54
not? I mean like breaking a mirror
28:56
bad also. I've broken a mirror.
29:00
I think I've broke one. We're moving 1, so we have one
29:02
of those ones you put on the back of a closet door like that,
29:05
like a tall, the tall skinny mirror.
29:07
And I dropped one and it broke. I don't think I cared.
29:09
It's also supposed to be bad luck to have two mirrors facing
29:12
each other. Well, that's messed up.
29:14
Just good looking at it. You're like I'm Infinity.
29:17
It is kind of scary. I mean like.
29:18
Plus, it was in a Star Wars movie, bringing back Star Wars.
29:23
You don't remember that? No, I'm.
29:25
It's a epic, epic, epic moment. When Ray.
29:28
I didn't see the new heroine in Star Wars.
29:31
Yeah. Oh, it was her test of the dark
29:33
side. To look in the mirror.
29:35
No, but OK, not to look in the mirror.
29:39
There was some stuff that happened well, like it was in
29:43
like a dark part of the island and the dark side was like the
29:48
spirit of the dark side was there and she, I can't remember
29:51
all the details. She looked in the mirror and
29:53
then like her face got all like like wicked and evil looking and
29:59
I can't remember the rest of it. But anyway, OK.
30:02
Well, it's information. I didn't.
30:03
Zone out at all while you were talking.
30:06
I said Star Wars, Star Wars longer than pre. 2nd, another
30:12
superstition that because of course, then I wanted to
30:15
research, you know, we're looking at 13 being
30:18
superstitious. This is our 13th episode.
30:20
I love a good theme and I was what else?
30:23
Yeah, it is bad luck. Bad luck.
30:27
To kill a spider in your house on Halloween.
30:30
Why? Because they say that that if
30:34
you see a spider in your house on Halloween, it is a dead loved
30:38
one that has come to visit you. So don't do it, folks.
30:42
Well, no dead loved ones come to visit us because I don't like
30:45
spiders at all. I refuse to kill them on
30:47
Halloween. I.
30:49
Halloween or otherwise, I don't like a spider.
30:51
I know, and I I really actually would never kill a spider if it
30:55
wasn't for my family's intense fear of spiders.
30:59
Every time I'm like I'm. Do you think we have actual
31:02
arachnophobia? Well, I don't know y'all freak
31:05
out. I don't know.
31:06
I would just let them out. That's what I would do.
31:08
And I will not kill a spider outside like that's where you
31:11
live. You get to you get to do that.
31:13
So but anyone if you see one, just say hi.
31:16
You know you don't know which one it is.
31:18
Which? Another creature, superstition,
31:20
just came to mind. Black Cats.
31:23
That is, there's nothing unlucky about a black cat.
31:25
We both agree on that. So flippin cute.
31:29
I there's nothing unlucky to me about having one cross my path
31:33
like I'm going to get down on the ground and try to pet it.
31:35
That's that's having something fluffy to love.
31:39
There's never a time where that's unlucky.
31:42
But I did come across another animal superstition that is
31:47
unlucky. An owl in your house?
31:51
In your house. In your house.
31:53
Like inside the house? Yep.
31:56
Who's got owls in there supposed to?
31:57
Be a sign of bad luck. I feel like it just is bad luck
32:01
but not a sign of bad luck. I can't even who?
32:04
Came up with that owl. How did an owl get in someone's
32:07
house? Well, Lennon was one of the
32:09
little cute fellas that what are they called?
32:12
The pygmy Pygmy ones. Not everywhere in the world do
32:16
they have screens on their windows and things like that.
32:20
Also he's. Got open windows and the owls
32:22
are flying into them. Yeah, yeah.
32:25
Which then? Well, OK, I don't know if
32:27
they're flying into them, but yeah, years ago I went to Europe
32:31
and it kind of blew my mind that they didn't have screens on
32:33
their. Did you see any wild birds in
32:36
people's houses? No, I did not.
32:38
I feel like this is a far fetched one.
32:40
Maybe that's why it's bad luck because it's like a crazy
32:44
circumstance and they are considered to be messengers to
32:47
the world of the dead in some. Cultures.
32:49
People don't like owls. I like them I think.
32:51
I think they're great. But also back to Europe.
32:54
Yeah. And unlucky, when I was staying
32:58
at a hotel in Europe, we got on this elevator and we were
33:02
staying on the 14th floor except for on the on the the buttons
33:08
where you push your thing. It was like a piece of tape on
33:11
it and said 14. And it just happened to be right
33:14
after the number 12. And so we get up to the floor
33:18
and everything. It's you can see the original
33:20
13, you know where they pried the numbers off the doors and
33:23
they put 14. Wasn't there a movie called The
33:26
13th Floor? I feel like I might have watched
33:28
it. Could have been, I don't know.
33:30
I don't remember but. Also, there's according to the
33:35
Internet, there's not a 13th row in most airplanes.
33:40
Huh. That's unlucky.
33:42
I would probably say I don't want to fly in this plane if you
33:45
were to sit me on the 13th row. Yeah, Yeah.
33:49
I mean, there's I have enough fear going on airplanes that I
33:54
mean, you give me one more thing where you're like, now I don't
33:58
know why I would just be unlucky for me in my 13th row.
34:00
But I feel like that would just be, yeah, but I don't really
34:04
have an issue with 13. But that would be just enough.
34:07
Like, is this an omen? Might be, might be.
34:11
That was a movie, The Omen. It was a movie.
34:14
So I think that one is kind of a oh, so I talked about the owl.
34:21
Yeah. And we talked about, what we
34:23
haven't talked about is a superstition that a lot of
34:27
people have. What's that?
34:30
Knocking on wood. Oh yeah.
34:32
Yeah, and that's. I think everyone's got that.
34:36
It's on every continent. It is.
34:39
Yeah, there is a superstition about knocking on wood and it
34:43
depends on where you are. You know what, in Australia I
34:47
just remembered this out of nowhere.
34:49
I used to work with an Australian guy and in Australia
34:52
they say touch wood instead of knock on wood.
34:56
OK. Like that's the like we say
34:58
knock on wood, you know, you knock, but they say touch wood
35:02
and then they knock. On yeah, yeah, well, it depends
35:06
on to where you are as to exactly like you're saying, the
35:08
type of what, what the saying is and all of that.
35:11
You know, in some, I don't, Netherlands or something like
35:15
that, when they say knock on wood, they knock on their head
35:18
because, you know, why not? My head is made of wood.
35:21
Yeah, there was 1 country and I'm not going to remember which
35:23
one, but there was 1 country where they would, where you
35:28
knock on wood to, you know, not be cursed or what have you, but
35:34
you can't knock on a wooden table.
35:38
I don't know why. Why not?
35:41
I I don't know. That doesn't make any sense.
35:44
No, but you have to find another piece of wood.
35:46
But if you're knock on a wooden table, that is bad luck.
35:50
Really. Yeah, yeah.
35:53
Yeah, how could they take the good luck thing everyone agrees
35:55
on and make it bad luck? It's.
35:57
Like and know that. Every continent, you know, it's
36:02
like when we're talking about tag.
36:03
It's the ultimate games that's loaded by everyone.
36:06
Yeah. Yeah.
36:06
I only wonder if animals knock on wood.
36:08
Do you think they do? No.
36:09
Are animals superstitious? I don't know, I wonder if they
36:13
are this. Is this probably as I have my
36:17
own, I have a lot of superstitions.
36:18
I feel like this is a stupid human thing, right?
36:21
What if it's not stupid? I mean, right, I I subscribe, I
36:25
fully subscribe. I mean, maybe we're tuned into
36:28
something that you know, is is out there.
36:31
You never know. But it goes way like to the
36:34
beginning of history almost, you know, I as far as the
36:37
superstition and back in the day, like the, I don't know,
36:43
like there's history of Celtics believing that they trees were
36:48
spiritual and they had good spirits in them.
36:51
Of course, now if you cut a tree down, you've now opened it up to
36:58
bad spirits. OK.
37:01
So when we knock on wood, you know, for good luck, you know,
37:05
they would be if they were talking about something, you
37:08
know, they would be knocking on wood to keep the bad spirits
37:11
away so they couldn't hear them. So they go not like if they're
37:14
talking about something, they'd be knocking really hardly.
37:17
So that's loud. Yeah.
37:19
Yeah. So it's not just a knock, knock.
37:21
They're just in, you know, the whole time because they didn't
37:24
want to get bad luck. But I don't I found.
37:26
That. I found that very interesting
37:28
and a lot of it, a lot of what I was reading had to do with wood
37:31
being considered like, like a spiritual, like spirits that can
37:35
come through wood. I don't know.
37:37
I don't know. It still continues today.
37:41
Well, I'm I'm a believer in knock on wood.
37:44
I know you do it frequently. I also, I don't do it that
37:49
frequently, but I do tell people because I personally never think
37:53
I jinx myself, but I think you jinx me.
37:56
And so I'll say, you know, like knock on wood, Luke, or, you
38:00
know, I don't know. So it's an interesting theory,
38:05
but I feel like it's just very common and uncommon superstition
38:09
that I found. And I have to just share this
38:11
one 'cause I found it very interesting and it would never
38:14
work in our great state of Minnesota.
38:17
But our neighbors to the South, Iowa, there is a superstition
38:22
and I'm sure it's not going to be everybody in Iowa.
38:24
So before you send us letters and say I don't believe in that
38:28
bogusness, letters, letters, e-mail, electronic letters is
38:35
perfect, OK? Yeah.
38:40
Is that the first one to leave? A funeral is the first to die.
38:47
It's like a reverse wedding thing with the Garter.
38:50
Uh huh. Us Minnesotans, we have the
38:54
Minnesotan goodbye. And so I feel like it would
38:56
never work for us because we're like, I could stay here till
38:59
tomorrow. Yeah, yeah.
39:00
We would just outweigh each other.
39:02
Outweigh each other all the time.
39:03
It is amazing. The The Long Goodbye, yeah.
39:07
Which was, that was a movie as well.
39:09
Why I didn't see it? I don't know if I saw it.
39:11
I'm remembering names of movie titles a lot today for some
39:13
reason. That's OK.
39:14
Sometimes I do the same thing. Or names of songs, all of those
39:17
things. It just sort of happens.
39:20
But Luke, let me ask you a question.
39:22
Oh, and now people, the moment you've all been waiting for in
39:28
this corner, claiming to weigh in at 135 lbs and sporting a
39:35
fantastic Target boutique black leopard and bat printed sweat
39:43
suit, is my smoking hot wife Amber.
39:47
She's going to need all that today.
39:50
I don't think I will. In this corner we have Luke, who
39:54
is also dressed thematically for spooky season with some of my
39:59
favorite monsters. He has a little bit of a record
40:06
here on our our score keeping right now.
40:08
Currently for finalized votes, Luke has lost five.
40:15
Why do you guys say it that way? When you're the one, you say it
40:18
different. You're like, I've won, yeah.
40:20
OK, you, you could have done this, but you said you, you
40:23
delegated this to me. Delegated nothing, you've been.
40:27
Tied twice and you won 4 so far. So I'm closing the gap.
40:35
You are closing the gap. However, I this is, this is
40:40
where we're at. The big question, Luke, what is
40:45
a superstition that you hold that is maybe a little wonky?
40:55
I mean, I don't know if it's wonky, but first of all, I'm
41:02
just going to point out to the viewers I've grown out my
41:05
glorious red beard. Oh, I didn't talk about that.
41:08
That's OK. It looks it looks nice.
41:11
I was more excited about your shirt.
41:12
That's fine. It is a great shirt.
41:15
My superstition that I, that I, I adhere to, slash believe in.
41:23
I'm superstitious about it. Which is going head to head
41:27
against yours, which you'll introduce later, I imagine is
41:31
the number 666. And I get I get a little, I get
41:36
a little spooked by it. I mean, I didn't even really
41:40
want to say it. I'm going to say it a bunch
41:41
today and I'm I'm not happy about it, but.
41:44
You will say it. And the reason is because I
41:49
think it was like, was it part of something?
41:51
When we were growing up? We said something.
41:53
I thought it was always a thing, yes, like all, like the number
41:57
was always spooky since Christianity.
41:59
But then see, since I don't know the history correctly, you I
42:04
believe informed me that it was not actually that old and it was
42:06
a more recent development or something.
42:08
I don't know what you're talking about, but.
42:09
The number number. No, I know.
42:12
I mean, I don't know what you're talking about.
42:13
That was a more recent development.
42:15
But no, it's been a a number for a long time.
42:22
Well, of course it's been. No, I meant like.
42:24
That anyways, so OK, so the the reason that I don't like it is
42:28
is it's continuing adoption in society that people generally
42:36
associate the number with the devil.
42:39
And I think that crosses not just Christianity, I think like
42:44
a lot of people in a lot of different walks of life and
42:47
faith think the number 666 is associated with the devil or
42:51
demons or both and it's bad luck and it's a bad omen, etcetera.
42:56
And I tend to agree. Some examples would be at my
43:00
work, I, I work in the car business.
43:04
So I see lots of cars and I also see lots of numbers.
43:09
So anytime I see the number 666, if I can, depending on what it
43:15
is, I'm going to round that number.
43:17
Like I'm not going to use it. If it's like the stocking number
43:21
on a car, I'm going to skip over it.
43:22
I'm going right from 665TO667. That's not rounding.
43:26
OK, accountant anyways. Account test.
43:33
Account the Countess of contention.
43:38
I also see the number on license plates and I'm like that's not
43:44
good, you shouldn't have that license plate.
43:46
If I was assigned the number 666 in the license plate, I would
43:50
probably get a custom plate to replace it.
43:53
I feel like if you have that number, they probably would say,
43:56
OK, yeah, you can return it and we'll give you a different one.
43:58
Oh no, you don't think? So I actually know that to be
44:01
not the case. Really.
44:02
Yeah. The state runs in sequence.
44:04
They don't give you, there's not like a skip it discount.
44:07
They let you buy some more stuff for sure.
44:10
They would say, oh, you want to pay more money for a different
44:13
license plate? That sounds good.
44:16
And they let you pay extra to customize it.
44:19
Yep. And I mean, like when I see it,
44:23
I get like kind of the heebie jeebies a little bit.
44:26
And I don't like it. I don't like it to be naturally
44:29
occurring anywhere. I don't like it to see it
44:31
written down. I don't.
44:35
Now does 999 bother you? No, because it's just a upside
44:39
down that's but no, of course not.
44:41
But you know what Disney World shout out Disney World future
44:44
potential sponsor. We will take all the free
44:47
tickets you'll give us. They have at the Haunted Mansion
44:51
999 haunts. Yeah, because there's always
44:57
room for one more. There's always room for one
44:59
more. I also wonder if maybe someone
45:03
wasn't like some people might think, Upside down 666.
45:06
I never did until I saw this year they made like AI think
45:09
they call it a spirit jersey, no pun intended.
45:14
And on the back of it, like on the front of it, I think it said
45:17
Haunted Mansion. And on the back of it, it said
45:19
999. And I saw it and I was like,
45:23
it's a upside down 666, which never had I thought before.
45:27
I was that's, you know, and I've been there a bunch and I've
45:29
heard it and I not once did it cross my mind.
45:32
Yeah, till I saw it in print 999.
45:34
I was like, oh, that is sneaky. Yeah, I think they did it on
45:39
purpose. They could've.
45:40
They could've Anyway, so that's supposed.
45:42
To originally be something really scary.
45:45
OK. Well, anyway, so that's my,
45:47
that's my superstition. I think that I'm superstitious
45:51
about the number 666 'cause that's the devil.
45:55
That's my, that's it. What you got?
45:59
OK, well it. Sounds like what I find
46:04
interesting is the origins of it is not, as we discussed
46:09
literally in this episode, is not something that you ever
46:13
subscribed to. So you were really like, you
46:16
know, like society really put that in you.
46:20
But now I have a superstition which I find I know is absurd.
46:28
OK. I know it's absurd, but it's
46:31
walking under ladders. I have never in my whole life
46:34
ever walked under a ladder. I have many times.
46:39
No, I can't do it. I seriously, I've, I've tried
46:44
and then I'm like, like, and I'll psych myself up like Amber.
46:48
You can do it, you can walk. You got this, you got this, you
46:52
got this and I'll get right there.
46:53
I'm like. Your body just turns.
46:57
Yeah, it's taking a left. I cannot do it.
46:59
That's great. And it's personally I, it's not
47:03
like I knew any, it just, that's always what they said, you know?
47:08
You were taught. I was, well, someone said it.
47:11
I don't, I don't think my dad or mom were like don't walk under a
47:15
ladder or anything like that. But but it is one of those, I
47:18
can't, I bet you there's less than one person of the
47:21
population who's like, oh, that's scary, That's awful.
47:25
But yeah, I cannot. I cannot.
47:26
And I've tried because I know how dumb it to me it's like this
47:30
is such a stupid superstition, but I can't do it.
47:33
Just like if I hear in my head while I'm out walking.
47:35
Is that the one that gives you 7 years of bad luck?
47:38
I don't even know. There's one of these
47:40
superstitions that's that's. Breaking a mirror.
47:42
Oh, it is OK, yeah. I don't.
47:44
I don't. Probably.
47:45
What about opening an umbrella inside?
47:47
I don't do that. Does that give you 7 years of
47:50
bad luck? Oh.
47:50
It's bad luck though. It's just bad luck to do.
47:52
It it's just bad luck. Yeah, OK.
47:54
Yeah. I do it.
47:55
I don't understand why. To dry off the umbrella.
47:58
Yeah, well, you can leave it outside to dry it off.
48:01
It would be wet. You could also no, no, you just
48:05
put it over a overhang or under overhang and it'll dry off.
48:09
There's no reason to open an umbrella inside.
48:11
I will not. I don't.
48:13
I only do it at work actually. I don't.
48:15
I guess I don't have reason to do it.
48:17
OK, but wait. OK, So you mean like fully
48:21
extend the umbrella or just don't tie it up?
48:24
Because I won't tie it up, but I'm not going to sit.
48:26
There and push it up so it's open.
48:29
It's raining and I like sideways bring it through the door, you
48:33
know, 'cause they're wide so you don't want to, You can't
48:35
actually walk it through the door unless you compress it.
48:39
So, and I don't do this on purpose, but it's easier just to
48:41
kind of swing it in and then set it on the ground near the.
48:45
Door opening, an umbrella inside.
48:46
That's just having an open umbrella inside.
48:48
Yeah, that's, oh, maybe I don't do it then.
48:50
Like opening would be purposefully opening the
48:53
umbrella inside. Maybe I don't do that.
48:57
OK, well, I don't anyway, Sorry I sidetracked you.
48:59
We're we're walking under ladders.
49:00
Oh, so yeah, it's just one of those things I can't do.
49:03
I've tried. And like, I mean, even I don't,
49:06
I don't walk around a lot of ladders in general.
49:08
This is not a world. My job.
49:11
I was on a ladder today. Well, a lot of times you'll ask
49:13
me to hold the ladder and I will only hold it from the front
49:16
side. I will not walk around, I will
49:18
not walk under it. I also you're welcome because I
49:22
also think it'd be bad luck for you if I walked under the ladder
49:25
while you were on it. Maybe that's what it is.
49:27
Maybe you'd give bad luck to the ladder Walker person.
49:31
I no, I don't know is it? Laddery and ladder or.
49:35
Why no? I don't think that there is such
49:37
a thing on either, but I can't. Do it.
49:40
Such a dork. You know, sometimes I just let
49:43
you have it, but it so I feel like it's such a dumb, dumb
49:50
thing, but I wanted to figure out why.
49:52
Why do I have this fear? Because there are times where I
49:55
think, why do I have something or why do I have this belief or
49:59
anything like that? So then I do digging to to
50:02
determine, is this a reasonable belief that I have?
50:05
Or is this just something that has been put into my brain in in
50:09
the concepts of maybe I can get over whatever this hurdle it is
50:13
that exists. So I definitely looked at why
50:17
walking under a ladder or where it came from.
50:20
Where does it come from? So it comes from early
50:24
Egyptians. Wow.
50:26
So. That's like foundation of
50:30
society type old. Yeah, yeah, I.
50:32
Think I mean they're like 5000 ish Or is it 5000 BCI?
50:37
Don't know. It's a real old culture.
50:40
Yeah, but the reason is they thought the perfect shape.
50:48
Imagine this is a triangle. Well, they were right.
50:54
I mean, they built some stuff that's still over there.
50:56
Right, right. And it's a triangle.
50:58
I don't know why I was like, oh, I get that now.
51:01
And so, you know, the big things that they built, you know, a
51:03
perfect shape that they made for their gods or whatever.
51:06
You know, of course, but a ladder leaning against a wall
51:10
makes a sure. Triangle, well and a foldy
51:15
ladder when it's out is a triangle that's.
51:18
What they have back in ancient. Probably not.
51:21
But anyhow, so anything that breaks that triangle breaks the
51:25
I know it's a holy shape, like it's a spiritual shape.
51:28
Anything that breaks that shape, that is unholy and bad.
51:34
So you would not want to make something unholy and bad so you
51:38
wouldn't break that triangle. OK, so I don't think that that's
51:43
what goes on in my brain. You don't have like an affinity
51:47
for triangles. You know, I kind of do like
51:49
triangles. That might be my favorite shape
51:51
if you were to have a shape favorite.
51:54
That's interesting. I don't know that I have a
51:55
favorite shape. Yes, I do.
51:57
It's a circle. Interesting.
51:59
Look at that. Mine is because it's also three,
52:02
and three's a pretty cool number.
52:03
Our opposites work really well together.
52:04
They. Really do a circle and a yeah
52:07
yeah, a triangle together. Paul, I have dual Paul.
52:10
I have dual. Opposites attract.
52:13
What does that have to do with a circle and a triangle?
52:15
I just was talking about how we have opposites and then the song
52:19
came into my head. See if this is how my brain
52:21
works. I don't think there's just a
52:22
series. Of circle random things and then
52:25
they go and it makes sense to me.
52:29
I don't think there's an opposite of circle except for
52:31
maybe line. OK, I bet that I don't know.
52:35
We must have some Mathemagician friends out there who can tell.
52:38
Us, we have at least one. We do, we do.
52:42
But I don't know what the opposite of a triangle would be.
52:45
I don't know, maybe the that inverse shape of that triangle.
52:51
I don't know. Anyhow.
52:52
So yeah, that's my fear that I know is completely absurd.
52:58
Not fear superstition. And I cannot change it.
53:02
You know, much like walking on the sidewalk, if I think in my
53:05
head, step on a crack, break your mother's back.
53:08
I will. I can't.
53:09
I get like, cannot step on a crack.
53:11
OK, so luckily. I stepped on a crack and
53:14
literally broke my mom's back. Yeah, sorry mom.
53:17
Yeah, that's your fault. You're welcome, Mom, for
53:20
purposefully protecting your back.
53:22
And maybe you're right about some of these superstitions
53:24
because like, I've walked under a ladder a lot of times and I've
53:29
had a lot of surgeries in my life.
53:31
How many surgeries have you had? Surgeries.
53:34
Yeah, 0. Yeah, I'm at like hold on 1234
53:44
knee, knee. We don't.
53:49
Want to have seven years of dead?
53:51
OK, sorry. Anyway people, I've had a lot of
53:53
surgery. Maybe it's all the times I
53:54
walked under a ladder. Yeah, also, maybe that's why our
53:58
last episode did not the last time we tried to record this.
54:02
It didn't record. It didn't record because you're
54:03
like, just forget ladders, I don't care and.
54:07
Today I didn't walk under a ladder.
54:09
Wait, did you really think about that?
54:11
No. Oh.
54:15
Anyway, so we have a that's the battle.
54:17
So we have the battle. So your superstition, yeah, is
54:20
walking under ladders. Yeah.
54:22
And mine is 666, the spooky devil number, and it's a versus
54:28
battle. Yeah.
54:29
So people got a vote for who wins this episode.
54:34
Of really, who has a more ridiculous superstition?
54:38
I don't think that was the question.
54:39
Yeah, it was. The most ridiculous?
54:42
Yeah, No, anyway, it would. They're going to pick whatever
54:46
they're going to pick. That's true.
54:47
So how do they vote? Darling, the best way to vote is
54:52
through Spotify where they have polls and.
54:56
Then we make the poll. I'm like, yeah, Spotify has
55:02
polls everywhere. So you that's, Oh my gosh, I'm
55:06
sorry. There is a poll app within
55:08
Spotify and that is the easiest way.
55:13
Or you can comment within our social medias.
55:17
All the socials. That's fine as well.
55:20
Are we, are we arguing ever after on all the socials?
55:23
Yeah. OK, so we got that on all the
55:25
socials, Yeah. You can e-mail
55:27
arguingeverafteryes@gmail.com. So vote for, vote for the
55:34
superstition. We'll have the very formal
55:37
question figured out 'cause I thought we already discussed it.
55:41
I thought it was just a versus battle but OK whatever it don't
55:43
matter. Alright, so do that and then
55:46
also share this. With your friends.
55:49
With your friends, it's bad luck not.
55:51
To well, that's not true, but I'm into the let's tell them
55:55
it's. No, it's good the.
55:57
Curse upon your house. Well, I'll say.
55:59
It is it brings you good luck if you share this with 10 friends.
56:04
Oh man, you remember those the chainmails send this that
56:08
started as letters. You'd have to say.
56:11
Oh my goodness. Send this to 10 of your friends.
56:13
You'll have good luck for the next 10 days that's.
56:17
That's the best, Yeah. I hope that we're let's go viral
56:21
with it. These old fogies decided they
56:25
were going to do one of those shame mail letters.
56:27
Yeah, start it up. Start.
56:28
