• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Hey, this is Annie and Samantha and what would of
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: stuff I never told you? Production of iHeart Radio and
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: Happy Halloween, Halloween to those who celebrate, because as this
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: comes out, it is Halloween, not as we're recording right now,
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: but as it comes out. So we thought we would
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: just do sort of a roundup of a couple of things,
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: a little updates, some check ins. One thing I wanted
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: to start with is, as listeners know, I love Halloween.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: I get super into it. I love horror movies. I
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: feel like this For some reason, I've been so busy
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: or something it's really stuck up on me. So last
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: night I was carving my pumpkin kind of like the
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: most sad I've ever been carving a pump it, so
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: that's not the right word. I was stressed. I was
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: trying to get it done quickly, so I didn't enjoy it,
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: you know, it was like staking forever. It made. It
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: really bumped me out because I love carving a pumpkin.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: And also I've had this Pumpkins's September because we got
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: it for Hocus Focus too, but I didn't carve it
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: until last night. But it's already It's not gonna last long.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: Oh no, you know, the trick is to do it
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: from the bottom up. Really, yes, So essentially decided to
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: cut the bottom off and do it that way because
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: at the top, the little thing is what keeps it healthy.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: I don't know that was one protest. It's okay, because
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: I've read one that was like used bleached, and I
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: was like, I really don't want to do that, Like
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: it would last longer if you did it that way.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean, how have you Is that the
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: vibe you've gotten to that it's just like, oh my gosh,
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: it's Halloween. So it absolutely like it. It becomes a
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: whole thing and I kind of forget. So, yeah, we're
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: supposed to go to a couple of Halloween things this
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: weekend because yes, we we're recording in this obviously before
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: the actual day, and I haven't even done costumes, like
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: and of course I will say I hate dressing up,
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: and it's not because I don't like it. It's because
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: I'm so non creative and I just can't get things
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: together and I have big ideas with no clue to
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: how to actually execute without paying lots and lots of money.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: I am not that person. I will not pay lots
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: and lots of money on my costume. My dog's a
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: different story, but that's the whole um. So it kind
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: of makes me panic, and the whole anxiety of it
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: all makes me panicks. So I think as much as
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: I really like the idea of Halloween, I love gathering around,
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: being silly, pretending that you're not your yourself and and
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: doing all those things, getting spooked some and all of
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: the little traditions, but when it comes down to it,
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: it makes me anxious. This kind of reminds me of
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: any other holiday that I hate because of the build up.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: M M, it's so bad. It's bad. But I mean,
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: I really, I really do want to. I really like Halloween.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: It's probably one of the ones that I do like,
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: but it just the build up is what gets me.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: And then there's this expectation, and especially when you're around
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: creative people, yeah give people, um, you feel like you've
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: failed completely. Yeah yeah. I've got a couple of friends
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: who always knock it out of the park with the
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: last minute creative costumes every year, and I'm like, how
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: do you keep doing this? I did make a very
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: last minute Taylor Swift costume last night, I might wear
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: we have a we have a friend's party, uh this
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: weekend's I might wear it there. But do you know
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: the nice thing about loving wearing costumes is I have
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: a whole costume, the whole thing. I could just be like, well,
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: how am I feeling today? This one? So I've got
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: like twenty costumes right there. I love it. I have
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: two onesies and I have outgrown one of them, and
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: I mean outgrown. I'm in COVID weight and it's fine.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: I'm fine. Yeah, I mean that is one of the
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: We've talked about that before, Like a lot of costumes
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: and not feeling that you look your best in them,
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: are not feeling comfortable in them? That is real. For sure.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: This has been my I would say my first. I mean,
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: we're still in a pandemic. But I've done more of
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: the things that I used to do during Halloween that
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: I haven't done in the past a couple of years.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: So I went to one of our big haunted houses
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: here in Atlanta, another world. I loved it so fun
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: I do have I think I'm probably only going to one,
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: but maybe two Halloween parties this weekend. I did kind
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: of shut down one of my friends, who was like,
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: we should go to these events, and I'm like, no, no, no,
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: I've done with those Halloween events when you're talking about
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: build up. I love Halloween, but one of the things
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: I don't like about it is that kind of like
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: broie college vibe of Halloween. And if you know what
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: I'm talking about, you know what I'm talking about. If
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: you know, you know. I did get some more, uh,
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: I got some retweets with my disco Luke costume. Yeah.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: I just saw our friend from Stuffy miss in history class.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: Holly was like trying to pair you up with a
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: dude who also dressed up disco looke. Whoa look at
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: that scool luke I was. I was convinced I was
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: the only person who's ever done this, but clearly not,
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: and that he did it way better than me. Dude.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: It was pretty good, but pretty good. He did the sleeves.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: I got too lazy to finish the sleep but I'm
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: going to do it next year, next year, I hope.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: But that's really cool. I had a moment of connection, like,
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: oh my god, another disco Luke. Yeah, friends, m M.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: And then, as always, the just wave of horror movies continues.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: And I know you've mentioned a few to me, Samantha,
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: Are there any any you want to shout out? Are
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: the have stuck with you? So I'm trying to remember
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: because I have been watching a few, but nothing of
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: note um where I'm like, yes, you definitely should go
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: and rewatch this, or don't go and see this. I
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: mentioned things that I'm like, Hey, we talked about this,
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: go watch it. Tell me if I should watch a
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: type of conversations. I am in the middle of watching
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: Ganimo del Toro's Cabin of Curiosities, pretty and trigued by
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: the way. There's been two Supernatural actors, so I've only
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: watched a couple, and but I'm like, oh, that would
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: have been significant parts to the episodes that I was like,
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: they're from I'm wondering. I always have this like connecting
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: of people, and I was like, he's from Supernatural, he
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: plays this, He's from Supernatural, he plays this. My partner
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: hates it. Um. But so I'm watching that, and I
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: will say one of them played on a couple of phobias.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: I should he Yeah, he combined too, so it was
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: not all of him. So whoever wrote this one combined too?
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: And I was like, why combined three? Actually, oh my god,
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: he combined a lot of folk is into one story.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: And I was like, but why, but why? Um So
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: I'm really excited about this one. I feel like, at
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: the very least, it gives you the scary scary stories
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: you're talking about, the that one with if you know,
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: you know again that book, that kind of field. Oh yeah,
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: me and my I think I said this on one
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: of our previous Halloween Traditions episode. Me and my old
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: roommate Katie, we used to read scary stories. Uh, we
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: were such nurves. We would have our pumpkin lip, we'd
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: have our a cighter, and we would read stories to
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: each other during October from that book. I did a
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: similar thing with an old friend of mine, and we
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: were in the woods because Ella J Georgia, you know,
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: automatically in the woods anyway if you're not in town.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: And I say that in town intentionally, um, And we
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: would do with it pitch black in a house that
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: was like covered in old things. So when I say
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: old things, like it was her grandparents house that had
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: old old like items from their parents and such, so
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: it almost looks haunted in itself. That I was like,
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: and I would sleep in the living room next to
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: the door so many nights. The banshee, that thing that
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: haunted me. Yeah, Harold, that's the one thing got me. Scarecrow.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I've been going to I mean, I have
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: my classics, which I've gone. I've talked about before. I
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: have been watching through a lot of free trials, a
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: lot of foreign horror movies that unfortunately, a lot of
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: times I'm distracted when I'm watching a movie, so if
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: it has subtitles, that is like a commitment for me,
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: which is a lot of the movies are great, so
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: I'm glad when I take the time. I'm always like,
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: I'm so glad you took the time. One of them
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: that I really enjoyed. I wouldn't really call it a
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: horror movie. It's kind of a love letter to zombie movies.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: But it's a Japanese movie called One Cut from the Dead,
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: which I had been told I would like, and I
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: kept putting it off because I was like, I have
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: to sit and watch it, and really, but I really
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: enjoyed it. It was fun. It was a fun one.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: But I've also seen a lot of movies that really
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: disturbed you and really stuck with me. Um, so I
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: will never watch again, but I'm glad that I watched.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: There was one recognition. Now you said the foreign. I
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: don't think it's considered a foreign even though the main
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: character is supposed to be I believe Portuguese. Um, my
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: mother's eyes. Did you watch that one? I did after
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: you recommended it to me. I did. What did you
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: think about it? I need to know on this on
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: this episode, it was pretty disturbing. Yeah, the idea of
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: keeping somebody in prison like that, and for listeners that
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: i've really yes, smiler alert, but just keeping somebody in
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: misery because you don't want to be alone. But also
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: one of my biggest fears and I'm not I'm kindly
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: sure why. I know I've said it before on here,
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: but it's kind of this idea of like mistaken identity
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: or doppelgangers and the whole plot line of being raised
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: by somebody under false pretenses. It really it shook me.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: I was like, I don't like this. So for y'all,
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: it is movie, uh and it is on HBO Max
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: so not a sponsor on this specific episode, but I
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: watched it because it was described as one of the
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: most disturbing horror movies that and it's one of those
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: that it is its disturbing. It's definitely along those lines
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: of like what what Nope, but what and so like
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: you quickly go back and forth with the empathy for
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: the main character to like, oh my god, what is happening?
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: To Oh my god, why did I that just happened?
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: There's so many of those like oh no, but huh.
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: But it was such an interesting hey eek, I don't
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: know how else to say this that it flipped me
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: for a loop. So I was like, I need someone
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: else to watch this and then talk to me about it. Well,
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: we can definitely do that. They're on the show or later, yes, yes,
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: And I will say also not a sponsor, but Barbarian
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: is on HBO Max Now and watched it yesterday and
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: I was like, oh, there is a lot more I
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: could say about this on the show one day maybe.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: And then Pearl last night, which I have not rewatched,
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: but I'm going to rewatch. Somebody said it's basically Wizard
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: of O has gone terribly wrong, and I was like, okay,
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: I had thought of it in that way, but you're right.
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: You're right, Barbarian The Pearl X has been three of
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: the top I know. Hulu has several movies that people
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: are claiming as top horror movies as well. Pray is
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: up there that I think it's been really interesting and
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: I'm glad to see it again. A lot of these
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: movies are centered, once again around women, and you never
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: know if it's a good thing or a bad thing. Yeah,
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: And I always find that interesting. I was telling Samantha
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: last time I had a funny Paranormal Activity movie experience
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: because I was rewatching it and right at the climactic
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: scene at the end, my power went out, um, and
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: I just had the light of my pumpkin and my
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: little flickering pumpkin candle, and I was reading at you
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: legit like nervous to be honest, so like, oh no,
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: I made fun of this demon too many times. He's
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: coming for me. But I would love one day to
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: talk about and I've I've texted you about this, but
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: to talk about in Paranormal Activity, but a lot of
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: other horror movies, this trope of the guy who has
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: never dealt with the haunting before being like, oh, I
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: can take care of it. Let me get to my
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: camera and the woman in the situation being desperately like no, please,
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: completely begging, and him being like, oh no, no, no,
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: I've got it. I've got it. You don't need your demonologist.
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: I know I've never had to deal with this before,
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: but I have got it. Anything else was better, but yeah,
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: no hem and a camera, Yeah, who makes it worse?
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: And ultimately I even had the thought last night when
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: I was watching, I was like, I wonder if she
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: would have been fine if he had never been involved,
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: which the second one implies no, but this one, the
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: first one without seeing others, Yes, I was like, I
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: think it's really your fault. Many that's for a future
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: future conversation. But related, I did want to shout out
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: some other projects that we have. Yes, So one of
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: the ones is um our friend and co worker Joe
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: recently had a baby cot so yeah, congrat stuff to
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: blow your mind from stuff to blow your mind. And
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: so his co host Roberts Robert Lamb reached out to
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: me and was like, Hey, I think this might be
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: up your alley. Can you write some kind of funny, humorous,
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: horror themed listener mails and I'm going to read them?
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: And I wrote for although one of them is very short,
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: but one of them was from the point of view
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: of the demon paranormal activity being like but it's it
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: comes out today on Halloween, so go check that out
• 14:36

• 14:38
  Speaker 1: they're pretty funny. Then I my story of on thirteen
• 14:42

• 14:45

  Speaker 1: The whole season is available now and that one was
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: really fun and also disturbing to work on. Uh huh.

  Speaker 1: And then savor over on Saver. We have a couple
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: of horror related episodes coming out that should be out already. Um,

• 15:15
  Speaker 1: If you've seen our Instagram social media's you'll know Samantha
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: and I voted early here in Georgia early voting. It
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: was packed when I went, and it's been packed like
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: most days. I passed it, which is very heartening. I'm
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: still extremely sad that it's become so difficult, and in fact,
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: I've been seeing post from people like in Alabama, you
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: can't early or whatever it is. Well, don't don't quote
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: me on that, but I'm seeing post of you know,
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: these crackdowns on voting, which is very upsetting. But I
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: am happy to see so many people, um, especially for
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: mid terms because unfortunately, again historically we don't have the
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: best turn out for midterms, but this is a very
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: big election here in Georgia. It's got a lot of attention.
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: People were filming when I was there. And oh yeah,
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: also to those who are helping and being workers at
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: the poll and working with people like Cat, a good
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: friend of the Show Cat who has been volunteering and
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: working at the polls, which is amazing. So shout out
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: to you and to those who are taking the time
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: and doing that service. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Yes, yes,
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: and actually we'd love to hear about your experience. That
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: fun show a listener mail show. So yes, happy Halloween,
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: if you celebrate, vote if you can, early vote, if
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: you can, and we would love to hear from you,
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: whether you're sending us your stories about volunteering in the
• 16:45
