  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's the first time I'm showing the

  Speaker 1: tattoos on the pod. I don't think I've done this before. Oh. Yeah.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I've seen them, so I guess I'm not.

  Speaker 2: I guess not. Yeah. You're going to get more?
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: I think so. I love a good tattoo.

  Speaker 2: No, I know. I'm actually going to get a tattoo removed.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: Really?
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's stupid. That's why.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: Let's get into a sidebar about regret.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: Regret. Regrets, I've had a few. I was 19 and
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: I got this really stupid tattoo on my chest and
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: it's dumb.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: You don't want it.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: No, I just don't want it. I just don't want it.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: What have you learned through researching laser removal processes?
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: That as a black person, you have to be careful
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: about where you do it because you can get hyperpigmentation. Oh.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: And then it'll just be like a- Whiteout. No, hyperpigmentation.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: So it'll be a really dark- Oh, okay. Like a burn.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: Oh, wow. Oh, yeah. Be careful.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: So, yeah, be careful.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: Don't do like the Groupon laser removal. No, I'm not.
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: You know what, though? It's so funny. I was going to,
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: and a friend of mine was just like, could you
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: not cheap out on the laser tattoo removal?
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: Didi and Bev's tattoo removal. We got all your removal needs.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: Dial 555. Remove it.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah. It's like people who did like plastic surgery. Don't
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: cheap out.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: People who are injecting cement into their ass, the liquid cement,
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: or the guy who is gluing chiclets onto people's teeth.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: saying they were veneers. Did I tell you that? We
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: can get into a real algorithm show about this. Please.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: He was charging people to train them how to do teeth.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: He was like a tooth doctor, but he didn't know
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: what he was doing.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: Wait, a tooth doctor? Like a dentist?
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: He was like, I know how to do veneers. Melissa,
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: give me $ 5, 000. I'll train you how to do veneers.
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: Okay, like you were teaching health?
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: Right, exactly.
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: And so you would come and I would teach you
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: how to do veneers.
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: But it was like gluing Tic Tacs to people's... It
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: was just gluing teeth on top of people's teeth. And
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: so now there was this whole network. It's like when
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: a guy donates sperm at a sperm bank. Like all
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: of them.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: All the lesbians and broken.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: Women are the same. They're all siblings. Yeah. This guy
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: trained this large group of people how to do veneers wrong.
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: Where is this taking place?
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: Out of all 50 states, guess which one?
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: Oh, it was in the United States.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: Guess which state?
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: Sweet Home Alabama.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: Melissa, it's happening in Florida.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: Oh, well, sorry.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: Where all things happen.
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: Where all things that shouldn't happen, happen.
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: Is anything good happening in Florida?
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a wrap. That's a wrap. That's it. Let
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: us know in the comments if something good happened to
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: you in Florida.
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: I'm sure there is something good happening in Florida.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: Because I'm still at a loss. I know people like
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: to go to, what is it, Boca? Miami? Miami Beach?
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: Our good friend Alyssa loves a good Miami trip.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: Should we call Alyssa? Where is she? What's happening in
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: Miami Halloween?
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: Check her location.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: I'm going to see where her location is.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because she was supposed to come to a Trader's
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: Ring party and she didn't.
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: Oh, really?
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, she didn't. Of course not, though. I expected that. Oh, yeah.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: You got anything crazy coming up on your feed?
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: Not really.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: Besides raining cats and dogs? Not really. The midterms are
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: next week. You got nothing. I'm sorry.
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: I'm very upset that I forgot my costume today. She's
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: on Broadway someplace.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: Alyssa's on Broadway?
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: Oh, she's mad at me, actually.
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: She's in Midtown.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: Nothing good happens in Midtown.
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: Nothing good happens in Midtown.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: The cast of And Juliet reached out and they were like,
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: do you want to come see the show? And I
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: was like, yeah, I would love to. And they were like, great.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: And then the date that I can go, Alyssa can't go.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: And she really loves Aunt Juliet. And she's mad at
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: me that she won't get to meet the cast on
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: the date that she can't go to. Okay. A thing
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: that's completely out of my control and not at all
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: my fault.
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: So now she's mad at you.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, of course. Because it is, yeah.
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: Have you seen it yet, in Juliet?
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: No. You haven't? I have.
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: It's really good. Andre took me to go see it.
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: It was so much fun.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: What is it?
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: So it's what happens to Juliet if she doesn't actually
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: die and the things that she discovers about herself and
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: about Romeo. I love that.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: Oh, because he's dead.
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: Well, he ends up not being dead, I think. But
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: then they figure out all these things, like how lame
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: Romeo is. Really, really good.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: Okay, love that.
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: And it's all contemporary music. So it's like Britney Spears
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: and like NSYNC. It's really, it's very, very good.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: This sounds like a couple drinks before you go. Yeah.
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: Where would you place it on the paranormal activity to
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: end Juliet scale? It's a sliding scale.
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: I've never seen Paranormal Activity, but based on what you've said.
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: If I had two broken ankles, which show should I
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: go see?
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: And Juliet.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: If I wanted to bring my dog to the theater,
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: what would I see?
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: Paranormal Activity. I'm dead.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: I'm dead. Are you following the protests and riots in Paris?
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: I saw that.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: In France?
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: Isn't that insane?
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: Because you'd spent a lot of time in France.
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: No.
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: Didn't you go to summer camp there?
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but not in Paris.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry. The wig is digging into my brain. This
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: is for a woman's head. I'm going to have a
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: crazy line.
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: What's the difference between a man's head and a woman's head?
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: I think one is significantly smaller.
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: I think it depends on the woman. It depends on
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: the man. Okay.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: Well, I have a huge head and I'm a man. Okay.
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: So take the wig off.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: No, look at the line.
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: Are you allergic to the wig?
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: Is it really red?
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: I'm going to keep it on.
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: And what just fell out of it? What just fell
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: out of the wig?
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: I will say it was $ 39. 99. So, like, this isn't
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: a human hair bundle. This isn't the bust down.
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: Not you talking about the bust down.
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: The bust down.
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah. So, what ended up being riots in Paris.
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: Insane. Well, I was talking to my friend. I think
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: it was you. I was like, they will change the, like,
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: what are they rioting over?
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: I think initially the problem is that there have been
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: some cuts to what's going on in terms of the
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: high schools, I think. Let me just make sure.
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: Because they're always, I remember a couple of years ago,
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: they changed the retirement age by like half a year
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: and people took to the streets.
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know if people are aware, but
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: that is a huge part of the culture in France
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: is like they protest. Yeah. They take to the streets
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: all the time. And I feel like, you know, barring
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: the violence, I feel like maybe we should take a lesson.
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: There's not enough of that.
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: If they change the retirement age in America, it wouldn't
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: even make the headlines. We'd be like, when did that happen?
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: We find out when we retire.
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: You know what I feel like happens here? I feel
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: like things happen and there's like no reactions.
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: Or not enough of a reaction.
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: I also think like, I mean, I'm not French and
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: I know very little about French politics, but I can
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: imagine that the things that are happening here probably aren't
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: happening in France. So we have a higher threshold for
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: pain than French people maybe? Like they're not constant, like
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: they don't have a reflecting pool.
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: No, they don't have that problem. But they do have,
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: Marie Le Pen is a very conservative and she's running
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: for president. And there is, you know, We should really
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: look into why there is this huge right-wing movement that's
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: happening across the world. It's not just here. It's in France.
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: It's in Italy. It's in Germany. It's in– I was
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: reading someplace that was really– I was like, oh, in
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: the Philippines.
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: And they're having like a surge of conservatism in there, yeah. Right.
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: I wonder what that is really about. I mean, people
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: can say, oh, it's economical or whatever. But is it
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: just that? I don't know. I have no idea.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: I always felt like it was scarcity of resources and
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: then people swing really far right because they're like, protect
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: my country first. My, my, my, my, my. Yeah, I
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: need my money protected. I need lower tax rates. It's
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: just this squirreling things away, get off my lawn kind
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: of mentality that spreads when resources are running scarce. Yeah.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: I feel like with climate change, it's just going to
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: keep kind of happening. Sure. And then everyone realizes- Gas price.
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: It's $ 7 a gallon for gas right now. Where? I
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: filled up the, my car's diesel, but I filled it
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: up $ 7. 50 a gallon.
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah. Okay. I got gas the other day and
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: was shocked because I almost hardly ever drive my car
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: because I don't really need it that much. It was
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: almost $ 5 a gallon, which is a lot of money.
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: I remember when I was in high school.
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: I remember I was going to say, go. Go. When
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: you were in high school.
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: When I was in high school.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: You can't be ringing the bell. You forgot your costume.
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: I'm here in a bust down wig. How dare you?
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: My edges are fried and you didn't even bring a costume.
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: I meant to. I made a costume.
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: You see how they did? Yeah. I did. Give me
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: that bell.
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: No. So when I was in high school, I had
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: a telemarketing job and I was selling appointments for somebody
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: to come and look at your oil, right? To change
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: oil companies, right? Okay. When I was in high school,
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: a gallon of gas. No. Are you ready? I'm ready. $ 1. 99.
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: Wow. That's how much it was. I feel like it
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: was like that when I was, no.
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: A little boy. Yeah. If I was in high school,
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: you were a little boy.
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Wow. I was just thinking when you said $ 5
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: a gallon, I was like, that's how much a Beanie
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: Baby cost. Is that how much they cost?
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: $ 5.
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: When I was a kid, they were $ 5.
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: How many Beanie Babies did you have?
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: Hundreds.
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: I was that kid.
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: It was a big investment.
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: Huge. I'm still waiting. I don't have a 401k. I've
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: got an attic full of Beanie Babies. Pokemon cards.
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: Pokemon cards, garbage pill kits.
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: The Pokemon cards, I think, actually do hold value now.
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: I threw all my Charizard's up. We never reviewed CJ's costume.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: I never looked to the corner.
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: Do you know what he is?
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: He's Mia Stanley Tucci, he said. I'm Stanley Tucci as you. Yes.
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: That's what it is.
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: I'm a dude disguised as a dude playing another dude.
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: Did we get a photo? Did we get a shot
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: of Tucci?
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: No. I'm trying to see how much gas was.
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: Tucci takes all the gay roles. Stanley Tucci takes all
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: those gay roles. My foot will forever remain on his neck.
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: What year were you born, Michael?
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: 88.
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: Oh, you were a year old. Okay. So the average
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: price of a gallon of regular unleaded gasoline in the
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: United States in 1989, which is when I was, I
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: think I was a freshman, was $ 1.
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: 02 to $ 1. 06.
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: I remember it was $ 1.
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: 99.
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: At some point, I remember telling people- Gas is $ 1. 99. No, no, no, no.
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: It was $ 1. 09.
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: Oh, that's crazy.
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: Because I remember being $ 1. 99 at some point when I
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: was filling up.
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: I remember when it was $ 2. Yes. And I was like,
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: what the hell is this?
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: Cigarettes were.
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: Cigarettes were so cheap. I don't remember.
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: I think it was like $ 5 to $ 7 when I
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: was buying cigarettes.
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: I remember my dad used to send me to the
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: store to get cigarettes from him.
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: No. No.
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: Everybody did.
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: Everybody did.
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: Everybody did. My dad was smoking Marlboro Reds hard pack.
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: Were people socially talking about how cigarettes were bad for
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: you at the time?
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but it wasn't, you know, now it's almost taboo, right? Like,
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: I will say that now when I see somebody smoking
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: who's a young person, I'm kind of surprised. I am
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: more likely to, I wouldn't, I'm not surprised if I
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: see them smoking pot.
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: No.
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: But if you're smoking a cigarette?
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Or vaping now. Yeah. The kids vape in these days.
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they vape.
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: I feel like that's socially acceptable in the way cigarettes
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: were when.
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: Well, when I was in high school, it wasn't like
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: I was allowed to smoke. The girls were sneaking to smoke.
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: Nobody was smoking in front of their parents.
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: But when I'm watching Sex and the City now, they're
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: smoking everywhere. In bars. I remember when I was in college,
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: you could still smoke in bars.
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: Oh, really?
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: There was like a couple bars you could go to
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: and still smoke. And that was really fun for us.
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: I remember when you can smoke on airplanes in the
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: smoking section.
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: That's crazy.
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: My mom had a friend who was a TWA flight attendant.
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: And she– I mean, she eventually– she died. And it
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: was a whole bunch of them. She got lung cancer.
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: She was not a smoker.
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: She was a smoker. And locked in a flying coffin,
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: soaring through the air.
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: Yep. Shed emphysema, shed all kinds of things. With all
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: the smokers.
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: And what I think is really funny, though, is that
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: restaurants used to have the smoking section as if the
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: smoke knew. The smoke knew that it could only be here.
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: But we accepted it. Do you know what I'm saying?
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: We all accepted it. Like, oh, okay.
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: Sorry, my wig's in my mouth.
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: I see that.
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: I just know there's one guy watching this who just
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: is like, into it you know what i mean of
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: course there's a couple guys yeah yeah i'm gonna get
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: a dm after this.
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: Whatever the thing is there's somebody who's really.
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: Into it yeah i'm gonna get a dm from like
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: that accountant that finance guy it's like you got that
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: wig still i like that wig on you what are
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: you doing later.
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: But i think the protesters were not just students and
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: teachers there were other people who are talking about the
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: lack of resources in general in France. And what the
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: French do that I think they do really well that
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: I can't imagine the United States ever doing is the
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: whole country gets on lockdown to go on strike.
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: And that's the tea is that like, if you're governing
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: that nation and you know your people, they will in
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: a second shut it down, go on strike, set everything
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: on fire. Yeah. It's not like here where they fuck
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: around and rarely find out. We're not going on strike.
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: We're not even walking out of work.
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: I wonder sometimes, you know, the great Montgomery boycott, right?
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: I don't know that we would be able to do
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: that today. Do people have it in them to do
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: things like that? I mean, because during COVID, right, there
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: was a virus outside that was literally killing people and
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: we didn't want to stay inside.
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: And it took them a long time to be like,
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: you should actually stay inside.
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: You need to stay inside.
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: Long until after they knew it was important.
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: And that is with the threat of like a terrible death.
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: Death.
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: So if you're not going to be willing to stay
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: inside because you could die outside, then are you willing
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: to stay inside or protest? You know what I mean?
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: Stop working to send a message about your rights, your
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: civil rights.
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: People were sneaking out to get their hair done.
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: I had a friend of mine who used to go
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: and get her nails done. The nail tech would open
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: the shop for her and they would sit there in
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: the dark.
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: That is so crazy.
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: Now, you could look at it a couple of ways, right?
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: So this person who, no, no, no, but this person
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: who that's how they make their living.
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: Sure.
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: And unlike people who can work from home, they couldn't
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: and they still needed to make the money.
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: We knew somebody who was getting haircuts.
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: Oh, I know who you're talking about. There was somebody
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: who was sneaking out and getting haircuts.
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: And doing weird things to their eyebrows.
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: Well, I know exactly who you're talking about. And now
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: I know exactly who you're talking about. Exactly.
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: So, I mean, I think that we are, a lot
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: of us, myself included, can sometimes be very selfish.
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: And just think about how whatever this one thing is
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: going to impact us.
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: I wonder what it is about certain cultures where they're like,
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: you know what? We are going to make them change
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: the constitution. We are going to, you know what? We
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: are so disgusted with our government that we're going to
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: create a situation where the person, the current sitting prime minister, president, whatever,
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: has to go. And there won't be anything that they
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: could do about it. Trudeau bounced.
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: Bounced. Yeah. Out of here. Out of here. And I
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: think about if the, Protests are started about schools.
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: In America, people would be like, well, I don't have kids.
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: A lot of people would be like, I don't have kids,
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: so I'm not going to get involved.
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: But there, it's like everybody's watching out for everybody's rights.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: At least from our perspective. From our perspective. That's what
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: we're hearing about in the headlines.
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: We would need to talk to somebody who's French and
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: really understands what's going on. But my understanding is, please
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: correct me if I'm wrong, that France leans more socialist.
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: Yes. Right. That's true. Okay.
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: So I think that there's something about being a socialist
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: where the collective cares more about what's happening to all
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: the students, even if you don't have a kid. I
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: think there is an understanding also that if the education
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: is poor, the... The progress of your country.
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: The workforce.
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: Is not going to be where it needs to be.
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: And it's like that adage about like first they came
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: for me, first they came for them, and then they
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: came for me and I was alone.
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: There was nobody. Yeah, there was nobody. It's like they.
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: Come for that, and then who's going to back you
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: up when you need retirement benefits?
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: Americans love their guns more than they love their kids.
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: It's crazy.
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: It's crazy. Do you want to do Under Oath and
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: get into some Halloween lawsuits that we pulled together? Some
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: Halloween-themed lawsuits?
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: Hey, friends. What do I always say while Michael is not... Sorry.
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: This is not Tales from the DMs.
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: Oh, my bad.
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: Okay. So this lawsuit, there was a Reese's Pumpkins that
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: didn't have faces, and consumers sued Hershey. So the Reese's
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: Pumpkin candies didn't have the Jack-o'-lantern faces pictured on the packaging.
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: And they alleged that they paid a premium for the
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: decorative design, so they sued Hershey. Listen, this isn't France.
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: This is the land of the free and the home
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: of the lawsuit, Melissa. You have to get on board.
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: The federal judge dismissed the lawsuit wrongfully, in my opinion.
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: Finding disappointment alone wasn't enough to establish financial injury. This month,
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: Hershey's packaging was reported to include a new disclaimer. The
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: disclaimer says, carving not on actual product.
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: I'm going to say it again. We're running out of shit.
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: Just running out of things to do ourselves, to care about.
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: That is, you know what?
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: Never. Next. Next lawsuit.
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: You don't even have anything to say.
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: Well, the consumer protection law, I will say that they're different.
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: When you buy a product, it's called an implied warranty
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: of merchantability. But this definitely doesn't hit that. Basically, that
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: just means that the product you're buying does what it
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: says it's supposed to do, even if they're not explicitly
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: saying it.
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: So this doesn't reach that because it's a design, and
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: like the judge said, disappointment isn't enough to establish financial loss.
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: And were the peanut butter cups pumpkin-shaped?
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: So they were pumpkin-shaped, but they were not carved out.
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: Also, you're getting more product if they're not carved out.
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: They're just less designed. If they're carved out, it's missing that.
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: So you actually got more.
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: Well, I don't know.
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: I actually think you owe Hershey money. That's what I
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: would argue.
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: Did the person sewing imagine that they should be carved
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: or there was going to be a face of a
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: pumpkin on it? Do you know what I'm saying?
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think the packaging pictured faces and it was
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: a premium decorative design.
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: I really don't like people very much.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: I feel like this is one of those like Proud
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: Boy lobbyists that like file lawsuits for fun. Like, you
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: know what I'm talking about? It was like, yeah.
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: Do you want to read the haunted house one?
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: Haunted house actor allegedly chases teen into a $ 1. 5 million lawsuit.
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: A Tennessee family sued the operations of the slaughter. First
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: of all, I'm not going to anything called the slaughterhouse.
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: You don't want to, you wouldn't do a haunted house.
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: I don't like, I don't like being scared.
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: I do.
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: You do.
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: Of course you do.
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: You're sick.
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: I do. I'm sick. I love it.
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: The slaughterhouse haunted attraction after alleging that a costumed actor
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: chased a 16-year-old girl outside the attraction. She reportedly fell
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: from an unmarked curb and suffered serious injuries requiring surgery.
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: And the family is seeking up to $ 1. 5 million in damages.
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: Ooh.
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: Wow. So there's a haunted house that's in Queens.
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: And it's pretty popular. But there's a disclaimer.
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: That's the next one.
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: Oh, is it?
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: It's like Watcher Show.
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: Oh, in Hollis. Yeah.
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: Outside of the attraction.
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: Why?
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: That's what the lawsuit's going to hinge upon. Right. It's
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: like this actor was hired by the Whatever company is
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: putting on the haunted house, the actor chased her off
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: the premises and then she was injured.
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: So now they're holding the company liable because he was
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: acting within his capacity as an employee and went rogue.
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: Right. He was until he chased her off the premises.
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: Right. So if she went down, if she went, you know,
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: she fell. Right. Outside.
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: If she did it on the premises, maybe that disclaimer
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: would have covered it. But when you go into a
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: haunted house, you don't expect them to chase you down
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: the road.
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: Not down the road.
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: Because this next one, because I went to the website.
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: It's called Satan Slope. You went to satanslope.com.
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: And I can't remember. I think that's the name of
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: the website.
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: What was his late night search history? Pull it up.
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah. My late night search history is crazy. But they
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: have a disclaimer. And maybe the disclaimer came as a
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: result of this lawsuit. Maybe, yeah. Because they're very clear.
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: Be like, if you have a heart condition, if you're pregnant,
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: please don't wear high heels. Please don't wear loose clothing.
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: And by coming in here, you are really releasing us
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: of everything.
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry. What? I'm just imagining.
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: The pregnant lady just giving birth?
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: She's like, I didn't know what to expect going into
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: a haunted house in high heels. I can't believe it.
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: First of all.
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: I can't believe it.
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: But you know what, though? There's bound to be somebody
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: who's like, I'm going to be cute today.
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: I'm going to wear my Louboutins.
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm going to wear my Louboutins. I'm going to
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: be a sexy kitten. And I'm going to go flying. Yeah,
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: and I'm going to wear my high heels.
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Oh, my God. Wow. Okay, well, this Queen's Haunted House...
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: Multiple lawsuits alleging serious injuries. Yeah.
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: Be careful. Oh, my God.
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: One customer said he suffered a spinal injury.
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: That's bad.
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: After riding a two-story slide named Satan's Slope and hitting
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: a wall.
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: Isn't that funny? Oh, my God. It really hurt. But
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: he hit a wall?
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: He hit a wall.
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: That's like Action Park.
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: It is very Action Park coded. It's like one of
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: those things where there isn't like an engineer. There's just...
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: like a kid who's just like, we should stick a
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: slide here.
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: Their website does say killer clowns will relentlessly chase you
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: throughout this entire place.
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: Extreme haunted house owners who sued Hulu for $ 8. 4 million-
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: The owner of the notorious McKamey Manor attraction sued Hulu
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: and others over the documentary Monster Inside America's Most Extreme

  Speaker 1: unauthorized access to private emails. I know all about this case.

  Speaker 1: You do?
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: This documentary is insane. This guy, you have to sign up.
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: His name is Russ McAmee. And you have to sign up.
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: There's like years long waiting lists. And he comes in like,
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: if he picks you, he picks like 15 people a season.
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: To traumatize them. Yes.
• 30:23
  Speaker 3: And he kidnaps you from your regular life. So like
• 30:26
  Speaker 3: right now, if I had signed up like a year ago,
• 30:28
  Speaker 3: he would just come in here with masked men, kidnap me,
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: take me in a van. And then you're like in
• 30:33
  Speaker 3: his experience for 12 hours and you have to tell
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: him all of your deepest and darkest like fears.
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: A year ago.
• 30:40
  Speaker 3: And he has set up an experience specifically for you.
• 30:43
  Speaker 3: And there's no safe word. You don't get out. And
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: like it's like he brings people on the verge of death.
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: And he films all of it. It's on his website.
• 30:52
  Speaker 3: There's all a video on his website and they showed
• 30:55
  Speaker 3: it in Hulu.
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: CJ's so excited.
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: It's crazy.
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: Let me ask you this, CJ. Am I paying for
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: the pleasure of this?
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: You don't pay for it.
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: You don't pay for it.
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: It's free.
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: It's for his pleasure. Oh, it's free. It's free trauma.
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: He is a psycho. I'm dead. He's crazy.

  Speaker 1: Allegedly. He's allegedly a psycho. Allegedly.
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: Have people gotten hurt?
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. He's had to like resuscitate people.
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: Oh, my God. Yes.
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: This is like it's Jigsaw. It's the Saw movie. He
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: films it all. He films it all. And so now
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: Hulu made a documentary about him. Out of his footage.
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: But they used his footage. So now they're in trouble. Okay,
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: now I got to watch this. It's crazy. It's a
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: good haunted Halloween movie.
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: Is the documentary scary?
• 31:36
  Speaker 3: No, but it's disturbing because you're like, holy shit, this
• 31:39
  Speaker 3: guy is actually not stopping when they are legitimately asking
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: him to stop. While he's filling up a container that
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: your head is stuck in full of water. And he's like,
• 31:48
  Speaker 3: you're going underwater. Their fear is getting waterboarded.
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: This is crazy. It's legit like sauce in here. People
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: are running out of shit to do. People are walking
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: around sticking their fingers in the sockets. They got nothing
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: else going on. Wow. Okay. You know what? Volunteer. Be
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: a poll worker. If you have that kind of time, right?
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: You got that kind of time, go to a protest.
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: If you're not going to a protest, but you're getting
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: the fishbowl filled up with water with your head in it.
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: Well, especially, I wonder if people, I wonder if he's
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: going to have more people who want to do it
