  Speaker 1: Hey, what's going on, everybody? We're getting closer to Halloween.
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: We talked a little bit about trick-or-treating. It may rain
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: on Halloween, so we'll see how we handle that. We
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: talked about the best and the worst candy as well.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: Let's get going.
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: So Halloween is coming, right? We got to talk about
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: your costumes. Guy just sent me this text message.
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: All right, 8-4-2-5-4-7-7.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: Hey, Romeo, I wanted to ask you about Halloween costumes.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: My wife and I are going to my company Halloween party.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: They're having one this year. Now, mind you, my wife
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: is a good-looking woman, but she's also a mother of
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: my three children, and she wants to dress as a
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: sexy cat. Sexy cat?
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: I think the costume is a little too sexual-y. What
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: do you think?
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: I don't know, man.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: One of the great things about Halloween was, is that
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: you get to express yourself in a way, you know,
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: whether it be a sexy nurse cat, whatever.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: Or whether it be a ghoul or a goblin or Franken.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: Whatever the case, you know, you get to do something
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: kind of out of your character and maybe it's in
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: your character. You know, a lot of these women, like
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: you said, let me talk about your wife for a second.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: I'm just assuming, unless you want to give me more information.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: She's had three children. She's a married woman. She's probably
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: in great shape. She probably worked hard to be in
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: shape after having three children. And she can pull off
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: the sexy cat or the sexy whatever outfit she wants
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: to wear.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: So the real question is, why are you not allowing her.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: To do that? Because, well, let me.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: Go both ways. Why aren't you allowing her to do that?
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: Because Halloween gives her the opportunity to do something out
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: of her normal behavior, right? Gives her a chance to
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: be a little freaky, a little whatever, push the limits
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: of her for, uh, for one night. Now, why would
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: it be too sexual for your company party? Is it
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: a professional? I mean, what, You're having a Halloween party.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: So my question is, you're having a Halloween party. Aren't
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: people supposed to dress up for a Halloween party? So
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: I don't know what you're real. I don't know what
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: you want me to say.
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: Um, are you secure with your wife? Are you secure
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: in your marriage? Is everything, I mean, you're worried people
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: are going to talk about you the next day at work.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: I mean, what are you worried about? You're going to
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: go to work on Monday and people are going to say.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: Man, did you see Bill's wife? She was smoking hot
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: in that sexy cat outfit.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: Or, or are you worried they're going to, you know,
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: slut shame her because, uh, she dressed like, you know,
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: a sexy cat for Halloween.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: I don't know what you're asking.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: So I'm going to go with I think it's okay
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: because if it's not something she normally does, then, you know,
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: let her express herself for one night. And I guess
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: his wife wants to dress as a sexy cat, sexy
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: costume for his work's Halloween party, right?
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: He wants to know what I think. Is it right?
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: Is it appropriate? I can go both ways with it. But,
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: I mean... I don't know. What do you think? Good morning.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: How's it going on?
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: Hey, what's up, Romeo? Your question is, why wouldn't you
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: let your wife wear a sexy Halloween outfit to work?
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: Well, to his company party is what he's saying, you know.
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: Yeah, well, in the morning you were talking about that chance,
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: you know, given that chance of cheating. And then now
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: when you mention it, like, that only time when the
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: company gets to see or show off that she's sexy
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: and not wear the regular outfit, you know, it's kind
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: of contradicting, bro.
• 3:56
  Speaker 5: What?
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: Here's the problem with this, though. This is the problem
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: I have. Halloween is a unique circumstance for people to
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: express themselves in ways that they don't normally get to
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: do the other 364 days of the year, whether it
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: be in some psychotic, creepy way or whether it be
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: in a sexual way. So if you look at it
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: from that perspective, you have to go, wait a second. OK,
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: my wife is not a real provocative person. All the
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: rest of the days of the year. So if she
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: wants to step outside herself for a minute, then I
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: don't see anything wrong with it.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: But let me tell you this as well.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: If a woman's hot or a man's hot, it doesn't matter.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: What they wear. You can tell. I mean, come on.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: You see a smoking hot nurse in scrubs.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: You know she works out. The scrubs don't hide it.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: I mean, you can't hide a physically fit person.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: No matter what you wear.
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: You're right about that. But the husband is not used,
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: like you said, since she's not used to dress provocative
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: all year, that one day it's going to throw him off.
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: And I know exactly what he's feeling. You know this
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: girl's already hot and is just going to take it
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: over the top.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: But it's Halloween.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: It's not like she's wearing it to go to the
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: grocery store.
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: Halloween.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: Everybody's stepping outside themselves and expressing themselves in a way
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: that maybe they wish they could do it all year long.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: But It's just one night.
• 5:25
  Speaker 6: One night, huh, Romeo?
• 5:26
  Speaker 5: One night.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: Get out of here. Oh, hey, Rome.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: It's okay because it's his company party. If it was
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: her company party, it would be a no-no. So she
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: can dress sexy to her husband's company party, but not
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: her own?
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: Uh, okay. All right.
• 5:49
  Speaker 5: 8-4-2-5-4-7-7.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: Somebody sent me a meme.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: It says, from Mean Girls, says, the hardcore girls just
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: wear lingerie and some form of animal ears.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: Good morning, Don. What's going on?
• 6:22
  Speaker 7: You already know it's just a band-aid leotard showing all
• 6:25
  Speaker 7: everything with some cat eyes or something dumb. It's basically
• 6:29
  Speaker 7: just wearing spanks or something, you know. And it's inappropriate
• 6:33
  Speaker 7: because it's a company, okay, baby? If you're listening, whoever
• 6:37
  Speaker 7: sent that in, no, she should not be wearing that.
• 6:39
  Speaker 7: If it's with you and your friends and your private.
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: Life, yes.
• 6:42
  Speaker 7: But it's inappropriate for her to go to your job,
• 6:45
  Speaker 7: a professional Halloween party, and be kind of dressed like that.
• 6:48
  Speaker 7: Who's she trying to have at your job looking at her?
• 6:50
  Speaker 6: You know what she looks like.
• 6:51
  Speaker 7: He ain't got to wear that for you at the
• 6:52
  Speaker 7: company party.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: Well, first of all, who said it's a professional Halloween?
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: What's a professional Halloween party?
• 7:00
  Speaker 8: It's professional.
• 7:01
  Speaker 7: It's the people that you work there with. And if
• 7:03
  Speaker 7: you're told by the job, that's what I consider professional.
• 7:06
  Speaker 9: Okay.
• 7:06
  Speaker 7: Because what happens there is going to be talked about
• 7:08
  Speaker 7: at the office. You want people talking about your wife,
• 7:11
  Speaker 7: how she had that semi-see-through fear. you know, leotard on
• 7:14
  Speaker 7: for Halloween, that it can reflect negatively on him and
• 7:18
  Speaker 7: his job.
• 7:19
  Speaker 9: Okay. Fair enough.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: Like, what is wrong with her?
• 7:21
  Speaker 6: What kind of wife is she?
• 7:22
  Speaker 7: Like, save that for your backyard Halloween. Like, what are
• 7:26
  Speaker 7: you trying to do?
• 7:27
  Speaker 6: That's the problem with today.
• 7:28
  Speaker 7: Everybody wants to be respected and treated as men and
• 7:31
  Speaker 7: women and kings and queens, but you.
• 7:33
  Speaker 6: Don't behave as such.
• 7:34
  Speaker 10: Okay.
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: Fair enough.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: It's inappropriate.
• 7:37
  Speaker 6: You know, that's just, that's stupid.
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: She's just being stupid.
• 7:40
  Speaker 6: And if I was him, that costume would come amidst it.
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: So, yeah, so this guy's asked me a question.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: He said his wife wants to dress as a sexy
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: cat for Halloween for the company Christmas or Halloween party
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: that they're going to.
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: He doesn't know if it's appropriate or not. He was
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: asking me.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: Now, here's an interesting side note that somebody texted me.
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: Rome, maybe he's embarrassed of her in that costume.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: Now, we're assuming he did say they have three kids
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: and she looks good.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: So we're assuming she just looks.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: Good enough to make that cat outfit.
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: Work, right? What made... Maybe she doesn't. I don't know.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: Is that what you mean by that? Maybe he's embarrassed
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: of her in it?
• 8:21
  Speaker 5: I don't know.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: Good morning, Tom. What's going on?
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: Hey, what am I doing?
• 8:25
  Speaker 6: Hey, what's up?
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: I was talking about the situation with that guy's girl
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: dressing real.
• 8:29
  Speaker 10: Nice like that.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 8:31
  Speaker 7: Maybe he might get lucky and she'll go out and
• 8:33
  Speaker 7: get another fine girl like.
• 8:35
  Speaker 8: Her and he can take them both home.
• 8:37
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 8:39
  Speaker 10: All right.
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: Good morning. What's going on?
• 8:41
  Speaker 6: Hi, I'm calling to voice my opinion about Catwoman.
• 8:46
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: What do you think?
• 8:52
  Speaker 6: No, but I mean, I feel like like the guy said,
• 8:55
  Speaker 6: she's had three kids. If her body is still intact,
• 8:59
  Speaker 6: you know, and she wants to put on like a
• 9:01
  Speaker 6: little sexy outfit or something and go to the party.
• 9:04
  Speaker 6: I mean, what's the problem? They said, I'm sure the
• 9:07
  Speaker 6: same people seen Halle Berry as Catwoman. You know, it's
• 9:10
  Speaker 6: not like she's going to be around there purring and
• 9:13
  Speaker 6: crawling across the table. You know, I mean, which that
• 9:16
  Speaker 6: might be her thing, you know, and she might want
• 9:19
  Speaker 6: to do it. But I also want to know what.
• 9:22
  Speaker 6: What company it is. Because, you know, if it's that
• 9:26
  Speaker 6: deja vu, then what's the point?
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
• 9:30
  Speaker 10: Well, yeah.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: Is she going to a party at a Catholic church
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: or is she going to a party at some one
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: of these oil field companies where they all get wild?
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: Exactly.
• 9:40
  Speaker 6: So that's what I'm saying. All I'm saying is I've
• 9:42
  Speaker 6: had two kids. And when I lose this stomach, you're
• 9:45
  Speaker 6: going to get a lot more calls about Catwoman than
• 9:48
  Speaker 6: on Halloween. Because I'm going to be Catwoman next year.
• 9:52
  Speaker 10: Just know that.
• 9:53
  Speaker 6: Miami's going to take care of me, and I'm going
• 9:56
  Speaker 6: to be Catwoman.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: A guy texted me earlier about his Halloween costume. His
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: wife wants to go to the company Halloween party. in
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: a sexy cat outfit. Last woman that calls right is
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: going to be some see-through leotard with some cat ears,
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: you know, and she's probably smoking hot. But the guy says,
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: you know, his wife, they have three kids together. Apparently,
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: she's probably in great shape, so she wants to show
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: it off, and Halloween gives her the opportunity to show.
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: It off, doesn't it?
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: Why does that not give her the one opportunity to
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: show it off without being, you know, criticized? But It
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: is the company party, so who knows? Hey, Rome, tell
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: that dumbass, let his wife do her thing. If they
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: all look at her, so what? Your wife's hot, and
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: as long as you're the only one with the catnip.
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: It's pretty funny.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: But I will tell you, though, I mean, you know
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: the other women at your office are going to judge her.
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: They're going to talk behind her back the next day.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: Unless she's really, really nice.
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: I don't know what kind of relationship you and the
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: wife have with the company.
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: So that all plays a little bit into it as well.
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: Good morning. How's it going on?
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: Romeo.
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, what's up?
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I wanted to comment on what you were just
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: saying about the woman wearing that cat costume.
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the sexy whatever. Okay.
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: My wife has three kids, too. And if my wife
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: looks as well as she does, I'd be proud to
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: take her. You know why? Because at the end of
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: the night, who's taking her home?
• 11:39
  Speaker 5: I am.
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: Well, I don't know. Well, this is a stuffed situation.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: I don't know if he's being jealous because his wife
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: is sexy or if it's the company thing. Do you
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: want your wife looking sexy at a company event?
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: Yes, but I mean, if he's jealous, that's a different thing.
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: I mean, if everything's good and he's married, why worry
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: about it?
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: You know, and you're right.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: What's the difference between wearing a sexy costume versus some
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: woman dressing just sexy in a dress for a regular party?
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: You know what?
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: I think you might have brought something up that I
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: hung up on, but I think that might be the point.
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: These women today dress sexy when they go to a party.
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: What's the difference between a sexy costume and a sexy outfit?
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: Except the costume fits a little more to the occasion.
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: And the outfit might be a little inappropriate. Yeah, what
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: about that? And Jay is back.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: He is the main man from the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce,
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: Kern County's Hispanic Chamber of Commerce. Dia de los Muertes
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: is coming. It's the 16th annual. Jay, what's going on?
• 12:57
  Speaker 10: Good morning.
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: Good morning.
• 12:59
  Speaker 8: Good morning.
• 12:59
  Speaker 10: It's good. It's good.
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: Everything's good, man.
• 13:02
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it's our 16th año día de los muertos, and
• 13:04
  Speaker 5: so 16 years already gone by.
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: The most fun.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: It really is a great event. Now, this year it's
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: going on at Stramler Park.
• 13:10
  Speaker 10: Yes.
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: Sunday, November 8th from 2 to 7 p.m.
• 13:15
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: What's going on?
• 13:17
  Speaker 5: We have, again, wonderful entertainment, obviously mariachi, foco rico dancing,
• 13:23
  Speaker 5: but also the highlight of all of it is the altares, right?
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 13:27
  Speaker 10: The altares. the ofrendas.
• 13:29
  Speaker 5: And so, you know, Bakersfield shows up and shows out
• 13:33
  Speaker 5: and they do such an amazing job.
• 13:35
  Speaker 10: Kern County, um, uh, decorating their altar.
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah. So amazing.
• 13:41
  Speaker 5: Um, you know, and just, uh, really, really, uh, putting
• 13:45
  Speaker 5: a lot of emphasis on, you know, their loved ones
• 13:47
  Speaker 5: and what they like to do and.
• 13:49
  Speaker 10: Their hobbies and stuff like that. So, you know, they
• 13:51
  Speaker 10: go all out.
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: Oh, they go all out.
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: One time I seen a Harley Davidson in one. I
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: seen there's some, been some crazy, just crazy, crazy things
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: that they do and how far they will go for
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: the loved ones to show up.
• 14:03
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, a couple of folks walked into the
• 14:06
  Speaker 5: office the other day, Romeo, and, you know, they had
• 14:09
  Speaker 5: someone pass away tragically, unfortunately, during the beginning of the year.
• 14:14
  Speaker 5: But they felt that this celebration of life and this
• 14:18
  Speaker 5: event was really going to not only help them deal
• 14:22
  Speaker 5: and cope with the loved one and their death, but
• 14:25
  Speaker 5: they're going to let their story be known and told
• 14:29
  Speaker 5: through the ofrendas and the offerings that they put in
• 14:31
  Speaker 5: place on the altar. And then also get to mingle
• 14:35
  Speaker 5: and network and talk about the loved one with other folks.
• 14:39
  Speaker 5: So I think that's really neat. You know, it's like
• 14:40
  Speaker 5: a little bit of I was talking to some of
• 14:42
  Speaker 5: the folks that walked in. I was like, it's a
• 14:44
  Speaker 5: little bit of therapy, you know.
• 14:46
  Speaker 10: Well, yeah, it is.
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: It is because you– and if you've ever gone, anybody,
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: if you've ever gone, you know this. You go out
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: there and there are people you may not even know.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: But for people to tell you about their loved ones
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: that have passed away– In a positive way.
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: We're not all.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: Mourning in a church. We're not all mourning at a gravesite.
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: We're hanging out. We're having a good time.
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: We're laughing. They're playing music.
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: And they get to tell you their story from their
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: perspective of their loved ones in a positive way.
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: Absolutely. In a fun way.
• 15:16
  Speaker 5: And what I like about it as well is that
• 15:18
  Speaker 5: they exchange numbers and they get to talk to each
• 15:22
  Speaker 5: other throughout the year.
• 15:23
  Speaker 10: They become friends. And so I think that's really neat.
• 15:25
  Speaker 10: to see out there.
• 15:26
  Speaker 5: But, you know, above the Altarez and out there in
• 15:30
  Speaker 5: the camaraderie, you know, we have the, we have food,
• 15:33
  Speaker 5: the refreshments, adult beverages. We have the Aztec blessing. You know,
• 15:39
  Speaker 5: we have the traditional Aztec dancers out there. So, It's
• 15:42
  Speaker 5: just a really great family-friendly event that we've been putting
• 15:46
  Speaker 5: on for 16 years, and it's going to be at
• 15:49
  Speaker 5: Stramler Park this year. We did move the venue to
• 15:53
  Speaker 5: Stramler Park because there's this certain area towards the back
• 15:56
  Speaker 5: that we're going to put all the optimists, so it's
• 15:58
  Speaker 5: going to be really neat, lit up, candles.
• 16:01
  Speaker 10: Lights and things like that. So just making a little
• 16:03
  Speaker 10: bit of change to the venue.
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: Well, a little.
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: Smaller venue puts it a little tighter, a little more cozier,
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: so to speak.
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: Absolutely.
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: For lack of a better term, just a cozier event.
• 16:11
  Speaker 5: Dia de los Muertos is November 2nd, right? And so
• 16:14
  Speaker 5: we wanted to make sure, like, it was their loved ones.
• 16:17
  Speaker 10: Like, they got to... Folks got to stay home and
• 16:19
  Speaker 10: make their own ofrendas at home.
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 16:22
  Speaker 6: And.
• 16:22
  Speaker 10: Or visit the cemetery. So we're the week after. But,
• 16:25

  Speaker 2: want to get into. Trunk or treating, which we'll talk
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: about here in just a minute.
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: But I've been seeing this thing called Christmas Carol and Cocktails.
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: Does anybody know anything about this? Somebody sent it to me.
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: And then I looked it up, and it's something in
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: Bakersfield that's going on in Bakersfield. And from what I understand,
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: I know a little bit about it, like I read
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: about it. It's something, it's like an interactive experience with
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: the Scrooge. You remember Scrooge? You guys all know Scrooge?
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: On Christmas Carol, that old, is it who, I don't, Dickinson?
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: Is that who wrote it? Someone like that? And apparently
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: they have.
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: that go along with this interactive experience. And it's going
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: to be in Bakersfield sometime in December. And I was
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: thinking about going to it, getting some tickets for it.
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: It's not very expensive. It's actually very reasonable, but I
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: don't know what it is.
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: I don't know if it's very reasonable because it's janky
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: or if it's just.
• 23:53
  Speaker 10: Cool.
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: It looks really cool.
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: And But it's like four drinks that go with four
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: different acts of the whatever the experience.
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: I don't know what it is.
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: It's not necessarily a play from what I understand or
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: it's not necessarily.
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: I don't know what it is.
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: And I'm guessing it's been the bigger spill before. I
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: just know nothing about it till somebody sent it to
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: me yesterday and said, hey, you should go check this out.
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: And does anybody know what it is? Is anybody listening
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: know what I'm talking about? Have you been to it before?
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: Is it really cool? Because it looks cool. It looks fun.
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: But they have different showings. They have some... I mean,
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: they even have an afternoon show. I think it's a
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: Friday and Saturday they're doing it. And they... Not this
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: Friday and Saturday, but Friday and Saturday in December. But
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: they have all the... They have like three or four
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: different times that they do it.
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: And I was just... I was reading about it, but
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: I just didn't know if anybody's ever gone to it.
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: I've never been... I was talking to Jay... About it yesterday.
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: And Jay was saying that he didn't know anything about it,
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: but there's these pop-up shows that come into Bakersfield. He
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: went and saw one, something with violins and rap music
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: or something that was really cool, he said.
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: But, you know, I stick to the basics. I mean,
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: I stick to the originals.
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: I either go to RoboBank, I mean, to Dignity Health,
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: the arena, Civic Center, or I go to the theater
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: out there. I never really venture too far off from
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: those places when.
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: I see stuff. Or the Fox. I go to the Fox.
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: But yeah, I don't know if anybody's... Maybe I'm the
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: only one that knows about it.
• 25:35
  Speaker 6: I don't know.
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: Well, you got to know about it. Somebody should have
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: gone to it, right? Last year?
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: The Christmas Carol one you're talking about has kind of
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: the same concept as what I sent you, but it's
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: only four drinks. I don't believe there's any food involved. Yeah,
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: I don't think there's any food involved, which is fine.
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: It's only, I think what I read about it, it's
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: only 90 minutes. But I'm just wondering if it's janky
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: or is it really.
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: Cool, you know? That's all.
• 25:59
  Speaker 5: I don't know.
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: It looks fun. It looks great. I don't know. I
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: don't really think about it. What's going on?
• 26:04
  Speaker 3: Hey, Rome.
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: What up, man?
• 26:06
  Speaker 8: Hey, that Fork and Frills, my daughter goes to that.
• 26:09
  Speaker 6: Uh-huh.
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: And those tickets are like $ 250 plus. And what it is,
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: it's like they show you a film, like she's been
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: to the Princess and the Frog one.
• 26:19
  Speaker 8: And it's like a five-course meal, and it's based.
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: On the film that you're watching.
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: Oh, I see now.
• 26:30
  Speaker 8: It's really good.
• 26:30
  Speaker 3: They had Ratatouille once. They had, you know, other films,
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: and it's a five-course meal, though. They said it's really,
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: really good.
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: Now, look, what I got said, now what you just
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: said to me makes a lot of sense. What somebody
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: sent me from an Instagram post Shows me nothing of that.
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: Gives me no information.
• 26:52
  Speaker 3: No, but she highly recommends it, but it does sell
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: out like within hours.

  Speaker 7: She goes to the LA one.
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: And how much is it?
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: That's where she goes.
• 27:02
  Speaker 8: It's like $ 250 plus.
• 27:04
  Speaker 7: Dang.
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: No, this one I'm looking at, it's only like $ 70
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: for front row or something.
• 27:10
  Speaker 8: Oh, I don't know.
• 27:12
  Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah.
• 27:13
  Speaker 7: If you go to the LA one, it's like underground
• 27:15
  Speaker 7: kind of stuff.
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: But I highly recommend it.
• 27:18
  Speaker 8: All right.
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 27:19

• 27:20
  Speaker 2: I appreciate the phone call.
• 27:21
  Speaker 5: Later, man.

  Speaker 1: Yeah, but what I'm saying is every time I see
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: an ad, everybody wants, you know, you guys make these
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: flyers for your events and then you put them on Instagram.
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: And I know they're all AI because they all look
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: the same. And you can't read them. You have no clue.
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: You can't find a date. You can't find a location.
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: You guys, your flyers are stupid.
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: You guys need to make them more simplistic. All you
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: need is date time and what's going on. I don't
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: know why you guys use this AI stuff. It just
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: convolutes everything and nobody can see anything. And then I
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: got to click and I can't find it.
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: And like, so I just don't know.
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: Like what that guy just said to me is way
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: different than the Instagram post. Somebody sent me about that
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: fork in film. Um, Rome, it's not like fork and
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: film where you get to eat and drink during the movie.
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: It's only drinks that are related to the movie. You
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: only get four drinks, four different scenes while you watch
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: the movie. So you'll basically watch a whole movie and
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: then certain drinks will relate to certain scenes. And that's
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: what this Christmas Carol thing I saw, supposedly in Bakersfield,
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: or is in Bakersfield, but it's an interactive experience. It's
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: not actually just watching a movie on a screen, I
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: don't think.
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: So that's why I'm wondering. Let's see.
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: Sometimes there are pop-ups at the Padre Hotel for the
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: dining and drinking experience.
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I just don't know what it is. I just
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: don't know if anyone's been to it. Is it worth it?
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: Because I'd kind of like to go see it. It
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: sounds pretty cool. I like Christmas Carol. I was trying
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: to read an ad. I was looking at this ad
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: on Instagram. Somebody sent me. Because I'm trying to find
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: out about this event that's coming to Bakersfield, but it
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: don't really give you a whole lot of explanations. And
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: then you see these ads, these flyers you guys make
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: on Instagram or TikTok, and they're just a mess. Things
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: are really, really small. You can't read everything. You're trying
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: to fit too much on a page. So I got this.
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: Bakersfield is the AI crap, Rome. LA clearly showed you
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: everything that you experienced, that guy experienced. Well, yeah, it
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: was pictures, but it really didn't explain it.
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: Don't be a boomer, Rome.
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: I like how try to take a shot at me
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: because the way you guys do things is stupid and
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: it's not clear And it's not understandable. And it's more
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: complex than complicated. But I'm the guy that's wrong. I'm
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: the one that needs to learn your stupid ways because, yeah,
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: you guys are idiot. Your ways are not right. Some
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: of the stuff you do is right. Most of the
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: stuff you do is stupid. Okay, let's be honest. You know,
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: when you.
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: Make a flyer, put the place, the time, the cost
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: to get in, and the venue. Oh, I said the
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: place right off first. That's all you need.
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: If you're throwing a barbecue contest in Bakersfield and I
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: look at your flyer on social media and the first
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: place I look at is where is it going to
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: be and it's not on there, I'm not going.
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: And that's on you, not me. You're the one that
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: did it wrong.
• 30:28
  Speaker 3: Morning, morning, Romeo.
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: Hey, what up?
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: Speaker 2 I don't, I don't, I get what you're saying.
• 30:32
  Speaker 8: These guys aren't going to understand it.
• 30:34
  Speaker 3: Back in my day, I think, I think we're around
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: the same age, but we, I used, we, we used
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: to do a little party that we were the ones
• 30:40
  Speaker 3: making the flyers.
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: Right?
• 30:43
  Speaker 8: I am.
• 30:44
  Speaker 3: And you got to have the location and the date first. Yeah.
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: And then everything else was decorated. You get some color
• 30:52
  Speaker 3: on it.
• 30:52
  Speaker 8: You take it to Kinko's.
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: You take it to Kinko's, bro. I was the flyer guy.
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: I was the flyer guy. I knew the whole steps
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: and what to catch people. You put a price. If
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: there was a little price to get in, $ 5 a head.
• 31:07
  Speaker 3: If it was a group, it.
• 31:09
  Speaker 8: Would be $ 10 or $ 15.
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: You know what I mean? So these guys, they don't
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: know how to catch eyes yet. You know, they let
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: AI do it for them. But I mean, I get it.
• 31:18
  Speaker 3: You know, you want to do AI and make your
• 31:20
  Speaker 3: thing pop.
• 31:21
  Speaker 8: Cool, but get the main things on there first.
• 31:24
  Speaker 10: I know.
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: I'm glad somebody else understands what I'm talking about.
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 31:28
  Speaker 10: All right, brother.
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: And just so we know, we're not wrong. We're the
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: ones that are right. Hey, Rome, nowadays you have to
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: scan a QR code. Yeah, the QR codes are better.
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: The QR codes, yes, I agree with you. The QR
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: codes are not bad.
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: I don't mind that. I just scanned a QR code,
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: although for a menu last night.
• 31:48
  Speaker 6: But I mean.
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: These AI flyers are just so dang ugly. And you
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: guys all use them. Everybody in Bakersfield uses them for
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: your event. And they're terrible. They're just terrible. And you can't.
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: They're so hard to understand what you guys are doing.
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: Everybody wants to be cool. How about you just put
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: the name, address, and what you're selling me?
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: And I'll be there.
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: It's that simple. Rome, these AI flyers are so ugly
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: and too much going on. This is coming from a millennial.
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: You're right. You're right. And all of them do it.
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: All of you charity events, all of you, you know, groups,
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: school events, you guys are always, you want to sell something,
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: but you never get my money because every time I
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: look at your flyer, I can't see it. It doesn't
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: tell me where it's at. It doesn't tell me what time.
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: And they all look exactly the same. Have you guys
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: noticed that? For every event in Bakersfield, the flyer that
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: you see on social media all looks exactly the same.
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: So, Hey, but it must be working. It must be working.
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: What did you send me here? Hey, good morning, Rome.
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: I was hoping that you could help me out with something.
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: So last weekend, I had to work. My wife and
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: my mother-in-law took my seven-year-old son and my eight-year-old daughter
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: to like three Trunk or Treats.
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: So they went out trick-or-treating.
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: I was talking to my kids last night because I'm
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: excited about Saturday and taking them around the neighborhood to
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: do some trick-or-treating. I asked them if they're ready to go,
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: if they're excited. Rome, they said they don't want to go.
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: Grandma and mom already took us trick-or-treating. So I told
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: my wife about this, Romeo. She said that the kids
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: don't need to go if they don't want to, but
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: I had to work. I didn't get to go with them,
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: and I want to take them out trick-or-treating, Rome.
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: I just don't know what to do. My wife doesn't
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: seem to be on my side. Um, yeah, the trunk
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: or treat is really a lot of people are.
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: I heard some people say that when we did our
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: when we were at MB2 that their kids won't be
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: trick or treating on Saturday either because, well, they already
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: went to.
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: Trunk or treat. Um, you just make them go. What
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: do you say? You just make them go. That's all.
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's all you can do. Just tell them,
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: we're going trick-or-treating. Bottom line, get on your costumes. Let's roll.
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: Tell your wife, let's go. You know, you can't, no.
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: You'll have fun once you're out there. Here's the thing
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: about kids. Kids are stupid.
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: Kids don't know how much fun they could have until
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: they actually get out there and have that much fun.
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: So once you get out there.
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: With all the other kids and all the other costumes
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: and everybody else running around, having a good time, Yeah,
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: so you just make them go.
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: That's the only option. Make them go, okay? Tell your
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: wife that she needs to go, too. Make her go, too.
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: I mean, put your foot down, man. It's your house.
• 34:58
  Speaker 9: Hey, Rome.
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: Let's see here.
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: I said that these kids don't want to go trick-or-treating. Hey, Rome,
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: last year, me and my wife made 30 trick-or-treat bags with.
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: Toys and candy.
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: We ended up only giving out three last year to
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: trick-or-treaters and another three to my pest control because we
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: had so much left over this year. We're buying one
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: small bag of candy. Trunk-or-treat killed it for us.
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, trunk-or-treat be taking customers. You know, they do. I
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: get it, but no. You don't want to run out
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: of candy. Don't do that. I mean, just... Look, man,
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: if you can afford it, take the L, okay? You
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: can always give away the candy, man. Don't do that.
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: Give them to the kids in the neighborhood. All right, 8-4-2-5-4-7-7. Yeah,
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: somebody was telling me they don't like trunk or treat.
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: They think it's wrong, but I don't think it's wrong.
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: As long as you go out, as long as you
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: still go out on Halloween, I mean, that's the thing.
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: A lot of the, a lot of, what a lot.
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: Of these people don't understand for these kids don't understand,
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: and it's because kids are stupid.
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: The people want to give you candy. They want you
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: to come to their house and they want to give
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: you candy. They want to see your costumes.
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: They want you to roll in because they're hanging out
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: too in the neighborhood.
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: They want you to come.
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: You know?
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: So go.
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: You have a responsibility as a trick-or-treater to be out trick-or-treating.
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry. You just do.
• 36:32
  Speaker 7: R-D-4-2-5-4-7-7-7.
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: Yo, Rome, my husband said.
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: We're not doing anything for Halloween this year because candy's
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: too expensive, and our kids.
• 36:42
  Speaker 7: Are all grown.
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: Well, sounds like you've got a terrible husband. Might be
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: time to divorce that guy.
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: Oh, I agree, Rome. Make them kids.
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: Go, yeah, some guy said I guess he had to
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: work last weekend, and his mother-in-law and his wife took
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: his kids to trunk-or-treat. So I guess he's excited to
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: take his kids to Saturday trick-or-treating. Kids don't want to go.
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: They already did their trick-or-treating, apparently. So he's asking me
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: what to do.
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: Make him go. And his wife's not supporting him. What
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: kind of terrible wife do you have? Yeah, make him go.
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: You got to make him go.
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: Hey, Rome, it's projected to be pouring rain on Saturday.
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: His wife planned ahead, unfortunately. I don't care if it's
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: snowing outside.
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: It's Halloween. It's Halloween.
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: What kind of punk-ass kids are you raising that can't
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: go do some trick-or-treating.
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: In the rain?
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: Bruh, we used to just go play in the rain.
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: And you're telling me that they can't go trick-or-treating.
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: You lost your damn mind. Let me see.
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: I don't care if it's, I don't care if it's raining.
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: If you don't take your kids trick-or-treating in the rain,
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: you're a terrible parent.
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: All right, 8-4-2-5-4. Get them some vitamin C.
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: Bundle them up, everybody can be a snowman, get them
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: a big jacket, something, yeah, that's terrible, you guys are
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: terrible parents, you guys make the stupidest excuses for everything,
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: you moms and dads, because you're so lazy, and you
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: don't want to be, um, I guess I just had
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: great parents, who didn't mind being uncomfortable for the kids,
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: my mom and dad are just great parents, they did not,
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: it never occurred to them that, um, You know, they
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: come first on holidays. Never once occurred to them that
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: they should come before us kids.
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: You guys are terrible parents.
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: Oh, we're going to get a little wet. Oh, put
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: on your put on your Uggs or your rain boots
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: and go outside with your kids and take them trick
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: or treating. Hey, you have a cheese fan. Tell that
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: guy to find another wife.
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: Exactly. Come on, man.
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: You've got to get out. Yo, Rome, what'd you send
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: me here? Hey, Rome, we hit up both. Use leftover
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: candy from the trunk or treat for Halloween. I just
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: leave a bucket out because I take my kids out
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: and not going to lie.
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: Seven, ten, sometimes. Wait, what does it say? Oh, seven
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: out of ten. Someone takes the whole bucket.
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: But we have our shoes covered, ponchos and umbrellas ready
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: for Saturday if it rains.
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: I won't stop us. That's what I'm saying. That's a
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: good mom right there. That's a legitimate mom.
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: Your kid's happiness should come before yours if you're a
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: good parent. And if your kids are happy, you should
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: be happy. So, yeah, I guess, yeah, I don't understand
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: you people.
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: I really don't. Rain or shine. Snow, it don't matter.
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: My mom never.
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: Hesitated to take us kids, me and my brother and sister,
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: to something. Nothing ever stopped her. Hey, Rome, we're in,
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: let's see, we're in the SW, oh, Southwest. We run
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: out of candy every year. My kids go trick-or-treat and
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: give away the candy they don't want back to the trick-or-treaters.
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: Oh, that's a good idea. Yeah, I run out of
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: candy every year, too. Hey, Rome, for the past five years.
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: I've been taking my kids to Trunk or Treat or
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: to the BPD event. And my ex takes them on
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: Halloween nights. This way, it's not boring or too much
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: candy for the kids. And they always look forward to it. Yeah,
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: I'm okay with Trunk or Treat. I don't have a
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: problem with Trunk or Treating.
• 40:36
  Speaker 7: I mean.
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: customers away and I see, and your kid's lazy, but
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: I mean, they're the kids in the community. I just
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: think you should go out on Halloween night and go
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: trick or treating as well.
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: You should do both. Hey Rome. Yes, you're right. The
• 40:53
  Speaker 2: new generation sucks. Oh, I didn't say they sucked.
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: I just said, you know, parents are kind of lazy
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: and parents are a little selfish nowadays. They don't, their
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: kids don't come before everything. You know, I grew up
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: with parents where me and my brother and sister came
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: before everything. You know, and not in an entitlement way,
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: but in a way that our fun and us being
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: a kid came first.
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: And part of that is trick-or-treating. Hey, good morning, Rome.
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: These women won't take their kids trick-or-treating for any excuse.
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: But if they get invited to a Halloween party and
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: be hoeing... And we'll get to be a hoe. They
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: ain't gonna miss out. Well... That's what I said. Well,
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: what does it come to, you know?
• 41:37
  Speaker 6: Morning, Romeo. I'm on my way to work.
• 41:39
  Speaker 10: What's up?
• 41:40
  Speaker 6: I was calling because I heard about taking your kids
• 41:43
  Speaker 6: out to trick-or-treating.
• 41:44
  Speaker 4: I totally agree with you.
• 41:46
  Speaker 8: I just think that maybe the new generation, maybe because
• 41:50
  Speaker 8: you're not supposed to say those things, but no, the
• 41:54
  Speaker 8: new generation of parents suck.
• 41:56
  Speaker 7: They just don't want to take their kids trick-or-treating.
• 41:59
  Speaker 6: They're probably the ones that maybe grew up where their
• 42:01
  Speaker 6: parents didn't take them trick-or-treating, so that's why they don't
• 42:03
  Speaker 6: take their kids trick-or-treating.
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: No. What it is, what it is, is the newer
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: generation of parents are a bunch of entitled little jackasses,
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: and they come first, even over their kids. They can't
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: accept the fact that now that I'm a parent and
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: I have kids, my children should come first over my happiness.
• 42:23
  Speaker 2: That's the problem.
• 42:25
  Speaker 7: Absolutely, you know, and like me, I look forward to
• 42:28
  Speaker 7: trick-or-treating because I.
• 42:29
  Speaker 6: Get candy too.
• 42:30
  Speaker 2: Hell yeah, your kid's candy.
• 42:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I was like, it's okay.
• 42:35
  Speaker 6: My mama said, hey, you got to pay up because
• 42:37
  Speaker 6: I did a lot of walking.
• 42:38
  Speaker 7: Give me some candy.
• 42:39
  Speaker 6: So that's how I did.
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: You know, yeah, all right. Well, thanks for calling. I
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: appreciate it.
• 42:44
  Speaker 7: Yes, have a good one.
• 42:45
  Speaker 2: You know, you know, back in the day, right?
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: Remember back in the day when your parents wanted to
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: look at your candy bag to make sure it was safe?
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: You know they were looking, they just jacked you, right?
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: They weren't really looking in your candy bag to find
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: out if it was safe. They were taking the candy
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: that they wanted from your bag.
• 43:03
  Speaker 2: Good morning, how's it going on? Hey, what's going on?
• 43:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's supposed to rain, I guess.
• 43:19
  Speaker 8: Well, I don't care. I'm going to take my daughter
• 43:21
  Speaker 8: with an umbrella.
• 43:22
  Speaker 9: We're going to be like.
• 43:23
  Speaker 8: It, you know, like Georgie with the umbrella and everything.
• 43:25
  Speaker 4: I'm going to take her.
• 43:26
  Speaker 8: Trick or treat.
• 43:26
  Speaker 3: Great.
• 43:27
  Speaker 2: That's a great costume. Absolutely. Play into it.
• 43:30
  Speaker 3: I feel so bad that I've been so busy and
• 43:34
  Speaker 3: then like all of a sudden we all got sick.
• 43:37
  Speaker 3: So I have to go to no trick-or-trunks.
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: So I'm just like, you know what?
• 43:40
  Speaker 8: I have to take her out.
• 43:42
  Speaker 3: And then I did have a big.
• 43:43
  Speaker 7: Halloween party, and I feel kind of bad because I
• 43:47
  Speaker 7: started taking shots, and I don't even remember singing happy birthday.
• 43:50
  Speaker 2: Oh, my God. You're a terrible mom. What is wrong
• 43:52
  Speaker 2: with you?
• 43:53
  Speaker 3: And then, so I told my daughter, I want to
• 43:54
  Speaker 3: redo your birthday.
• 43:56
  Speaker 8: But, like, I want to go to, like, Chuck E.
• 43:57
  Speaker 8: Cheese or something where they don't sell alcohol.
• 43:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you might want to.
• 44:00
  Speaker 6: So I can't remember the.
• 44:02
  Speaker 2: Well, you better do that sooner than later, okay?
• 44:05
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but no, you're going to see me watch.
• 44:06
  Speaker 7: I'm going to send you a picture.
• 44:07
  Speaker 8: You're going to see me and my daughter.
• 44:09
  Speaker 7: We're going to be the only ones getting all the
• 44:10
  Speaker 7: candies with umbrellas watch.
• 44:12
  Speaker 2: All right. Thanks for calling.
• 44:14
  Speaker 7: Later.
• 44:14
  Speaker 6: Bye.
• 44:15
  Speaker 2: I mean, if it rains, it rains. Go out trick-or-treating.
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: I mean, trunk-or-treating also is not a substitute for real trick-or-treating, okay?
• 44:24
  Speaker 2: If you want to go, that's fine. You know, the churches,
• 44:26
  Speaker 2: the schools, the community events, they're fine. Go support them. Yes,
• 44:32
  Speaker 2: go have fun.
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: But also, you got to do the real deal. Come on, man.
• 44:40
  Speaker 10: R-D-4-2-5-4-7-7.
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: And these parents who just don't want to take them out,
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: you don't want to be inconvenienced for your kids. That's
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: the problem with these parents today. Their happiness comes before
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: their kids' happiness. They don't want to be inconvenienced for
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: their children.
• 44:56
  Speaker 2: And that's a terrible way to parent.
• 44:59
  Speaker 10: Terrible way.
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: All right, A425477, what did you send me here? Hey, Rome,
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: what kind of sissy kids are raising nowadays? We went
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: trick-or-treating during active anthrax attacks in 2001?
• 45:13
  Speaker 5: What?
• 45:14
  Speaker 2: Even anthrax couldn't stop us? There was active anthrax attacks
• 45:19
  Speaker 2: in 2001?
• 45:19
  Speaker 11: What?
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: Hey, Rome, national night out for the sheriff's office at
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: Stramler Park tonight by the sheriff's office. Supposed to have
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: like 30 vendors and several displays with candy.
• 45:35
  Speaker 2: Well, there you go. Go see it.
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: You should go out and support that stuff.
• 45:40
  Speaker 2: You know, take your kids out tonight. What's tonight? Take
• 45:42
  Speaker 2: them out. Go out to Stramler.
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: Do the trick-or-treating with the sheriff's department.
• 45:48
  Speaker 2: But you should still go out on Saturday. You should
• 45:52
  Speaker 2: still do the real deal.
• 45:54
  Speaker 8: Hey, what's up, Ron Seahawk Lou?
• 45:56
  Speaker 2: What up, Lou?
• 45:58
  Speaker 8: Hey, man, these kids get one chance a year to
• 46:01
  Speaker 8: actually go door-to-door trick-or-treating. And I don't care if it's raining,
• 46:07
  Speaker 8: if it's dark early. I don't care about none of that.
• 46:11
  Speaker 8: We're going. And that's how it should be. I went
• 46:16
  Speaker 8: trick-or-treating with a broken leg, man. But it was the
• 46:19
  Speaker 8: funnest time I ever had.
• 46:20
  Speaker 2: A broken leg!
• 46:22
  Speaker 4: Yep, a broken leg.
• 46:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, a little rain never hurt anybody.
• 46:26
  Speaker 8: Nah, that ain't going to happen, man. As soon as
• 46:29
  Speaker 8: they get home, straight to the shower, and they're all.
• 46:31
  Speaker 7: Good, man.
• 46:32
  Speaker 10: Exactly.
• 46:33
  Speaker 2: Let them eat their cat. And it's Saturday night.
• 46:35
  Speaker 8: But when they get older, they're going to be like, oh, remember,
• 46:38
  Speaker 8: we went trick-or-treating in the rain.
• 46:39
  Speaker 3: It was fun.
• 46:40
  Speaker 2: Get an umbrella and let's roll.
• 46:43
  Speaker 6: Yes, yes.
• 46:44
  Speaker 2: So everybody, take your kids.
• 46:46
  Speaker 8: Take them to Strapner Park, too. That sounds fun.
• 46:48
  Speaker 11: Do both.
• 46:48
  Speaker 2: There's no reason you can't do both.
• 46:51
  Speaker 8: Don't miss out on the actual day.
• 46:54
  Speaker 11: Yep.
• 46:55
  Speaker 6: All right.
• 46:57
  Speaker 8: And I ain't giving out any candy this year, so.
• 47:00
  Speaker 3: Wait, why?
• 47:03
  Speaker 2: You're not giving out candy?
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: Nope.
• 47:05
  Speaker 2: The hell's wrong with you? What's wrong with you?
• 47:10
  Speaker 8: I'm leaving. I'm leaving. I'm going to go look for
• 47:12
  Speaker 8: the good candy.
• 47:13
  Speaker 2: You are a cheap son of a you-know-what, Lou. I'm
• 47:17
  Speaker 2: just letting everyone know. You're a terrible human being.
• 47:23
  Speaker 8: You disagreed with everything I said except for this?
• 47:26
  Speaker 2: You gotta do both. What is wrong with you?
• 47:29
  Speaker 11: No, no, no.
• 47:30
  Speaker 2: You cannot, hold on, listen.
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: You cannot take your kids to get candy and not
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: hand out candy to other kids.
• 47:39
  Speaker 2: It's the circle of life.
• 47:41
  Speaker 8: Nah, I'm not part of that circle. I do a U-turn.
• 47:44
  Speaker 2: Oh, you're a terrible human being. I can't even with
• 47:47
  Speaker 2: you no more. Sorry, kid.
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: It's just a terrible person. Lou is a terrible person, right? R-D-4-2-5-4-7-7-R-O-M.
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: I'll be taking my kids candy too, bro. I call
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: it dad tax. Oh, you can take it. If I
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: walk them all.
• 48:03
  Speaker 2: Night too, I get candy. I mean, parents have been,
• 48:09
  Speaker 2: you're right, the tax.
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: Parents have been taking their kids Halloween candy forever. Even
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: the caveman days. They've been taking their candy forever. That's
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: just what moms and dads do, man. They take your candy.
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 48:23
  Speaker 2: But you got to hand out candy also. Come on now.
• 48:27
  Speaker 2: Don't be like that. Yeah, what's going on?
• 48:30
  Speaker 8: Romeo, this week, I'm already tired.
• 48:34
  Speaker 10: We have had parent-teacher conferences.
• 48:36
  Speaker 8: Last night, we painted pumpkins. If I could go to
• 48:39
  Speaker 8: sleep early tonight, I would. But guess what? We have
• 48:41
  Speaker 8: a trunk or treat.
• 48:42
  Speaker 6: And then tomorrow, we have the police department event.
• 48:46
  Speaker 3: And then Friday, I have a concert out of town.
• 48:49
  Speaker 6: I'll be back Saturday morning so I can get these
• 48:51
  Speaker 6: kids ready, get.
• 48:52
  Speaker 2: Them covered, warmed up, bundled up, because rain or shine,
• 48:55
  Speaker 2: we're hitting those streets.
• 48:57
  Speaker 6: Exactly.
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: Just go fill up your Yeti with a glass of
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: Red and go.
• 49:03
  Speaker 6: What are you worried about? Dude, sometimes you get lucky
• 49:04
  Speaker 6: and you get those houses that have little tricks or
• 49:07
  Speaker 6: treats for parents.
• 49:08
  Speaker 2: Exactly.
• 49:10
  Speaker 6: And I'm like, I got my wagon, we'll load up
• 49:12
  Speaker 6: the kids, and then guess what?
• 49:14
  Speaker 3: We get an extra hour on Sunday to sleep in.
• 49:16
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, I forgot. You got to change your time.
• 49:18
  Speaker 2: What concert are you going.
• 49:19
  Speaker 5: To on Sunday?
• 49:20
  Speaker 2: On Friday?
• 49:21
  Speaker 6: Oh, it's in L.A. It's My Chemical Romance and the Youth.
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: Oh, the Cowboy Cheerleaders just did that.
• 49:27
  Speaker 2: They just got sued or something by the Cowboy Cheerleaders.
• 49:29
  Speaker 3: Well, they actually, it was only a three-day, they only
• 49:31
  Speaker 3: needed those suits for three days, so they were like, oh,
• 49:34
  Speaker 3: it's okay, we're not going to use them anymore.
• 49:35
  Speaker 6: Because it was already over.
• 49:36
  Speaker 3: The Cowboys think they won.
• 49:38
  Speaker 6: What are they, four and four now?
• 49:41
  Speaker 2: Even the cheerleaders. They won.
• 49:43
  Speaker 6: Give it to them.
• 49:46
  Speaker 2: Hey, Rome, does candy have a shit?
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: I found a few bags that I thought I gave
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: away a few years ago and thinking about giving them
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: out on Saturday.
• 49:59
  Speaker 2: I think you'd be good. I don't think candy is next.
• 50:02
  Speaker 2: I think you're all right. That'll be fine. I mean, kids, man,
• 50:05
  Speaker 2: kids will eat anything, man. They got iron stomachs. They'll
• 50:07
  Speaker 2: be fine. No, you'll be good.
• 50:11
  Speaker 6: Candy.
• 50:12
  Speaker 2: And what's expiration on a candy? Like 30 years? It's
• 50:15
  Speaker 2: got to be something like that, right? This was funny.
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: Last night I was at a little get-together for Halloween
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: at a friend's house. And we were sitting around on
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: the patio, you know, just having some drinks, listening to music, talking,
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: hanging out. And my buddy, he gets up, gets a
• 50:32
  Speaker 1: phone call from his son who's in college, right? And
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: I think the son's a freshman or sophomore or something
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: like that.
• 50:37
  Speaker 2: I don't remember which one, right?
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: And then he comes back over to the table and
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: he tells his wife, hey, I need you to Venmo
• 50:44
  Speaker 1: him some money.
• 50:45
  Speaker 2: And the wife's like, for what? What happened? And he goes, nothing.
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: He just went out to dinner with his friends, and
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: he called to see if I'd pay him back. And
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: the wife goes, okay. Wife didn't care. I mean, they
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: got money. They're not broke. And she just, yeah, okay.
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: So she Venmo'd their son money. I was the only
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: person at this table we were sitting at who thought
• 51:09
  Speaker 1: that was okay. All the people at this party, then
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: it got into a conversation, right? What are you teaching
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: your kid by just when he calls for money, you
• 51:19
  Speaker 1: give it to him? He went out to dinner. He
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: should be able to pay it himself. What are you
• 51:24
  Speaker 1: teaching that child? And I thought, well, you're teaching that
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: child that you love and care about. What lesson are
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: we trying to learn here? And so now we're having
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: this conversation. And these parents, well, you know, when we
• 51:41
  Speaker 1: grew up poor and blah, blah, blah. Who didn't grow
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: up poor? We all grew up poor, okay? Do you
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: think growing up poor is what taught you how to
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: be a man or taught you how to be responsible
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: or taught you how to, you know, manage money?
• 51:59
  Speaker 8: No.
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: Your parents taught you that. My parents taught me that.
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: You know, my parents taught me how to not be entitled.
• 52:08
  Speaker 1: It wasn't the poor thing. A lot of us didn't
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: even know we were poor until we were adults and went.
• 52:14
  Speaker 2: Oh, wait, we were poor.
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: Because our parents taught us how to be responsible human
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: beings even though we were poor.
• 52:21
  Speaker 2: They didn't let the poorness raise us.
• 52:26
  Speaker 1: They didn't let us being poor create our character.
• 52:32
  Speaker 2: They did as parents.
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: So now, and I'm going to be honest with you,
• 52:37
  Speaker 1: all the people at this party have money. You know,
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: they're not all rich, rich, but they're doing just fine.
• 52:43
  Speaker 2: You know, they can.
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: Afford a $ 30 meal for their kids. But in their mind,
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: that's not teaching him anything. Well, what do you need?
• 52:52
  Speaker 2: He's in college.
• 52:53
  Speaker 1: You already should have done taught him what he needs
• 52:56
  Speaker 1: to know about responsibility, about respect, about money management. Why
• 53:03
  Speaker 1: are you guys always trying to take out your financial,
• 53:08
  Speaker 1: you know, Your financial problems as a child on your
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: children thinking that's the way, that that's what's going to
• 53:15
  Speaker 1: teach them. You might as well raise them with a
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: TV then. I mean, what is wrong with you parents?
• 53:22
  Speaker 1: I couldn't believe these people. I was like, oh, and
• 53:26
  Speaker 1: they know. They knew I was going to say something
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: about it today because all these people have plenty of money,
• 53:32
  Speaker 1: yet they still want to keep their kids broke thinking
• 53:35
  Speaker 1: that teaches them not to be entitled little, you know,
• 53:41
  Speaker 1: You can teach somebody not to be entitled and still
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: buy them a car and still pay for their gas.
• 53:49
  Speaker 2: You know, I got a buddy. Got five kids. No,
• 53:51
  Speaker 2: four kids. And him and his wife still damn near
• 53:55
  Speaker 2: pay for everything. They're adults. And they still pay for insurance.
• 54:00
  Speaker 2: They grew up to be great kids. You know? Grew
• 54:04
  Speaker 2: up to be great kids. Got jobs. Got careers.
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: But mom and dad are just still down because that's
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: his family. And you parents, I just don't understand it.
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: It's just lazy parenting. When you start to use things
• 54:18
  Speaker 1: like money to teach your kids lessons, that's just lazy parenting.
• 54:24
  Speaker 1: And you're not really teaching them anything.
• 54:27
  Speaker 2: All right. Anyway, sometimes I wonder why. I just wonder
• 54:32
  Speaker 2: what you people are thinking.
• 54:34
  Speaker 6: Hey, good morning, Romeo.
• 54:35
  Speaker 11: It's your girl, Shadeva.
• 54:35
  Speaker 9: How you doing?
• 54:36
  Speaker 7: Hey, Shadeva.
• 54:37
  Speaker 1: What's up?
• 54:38
  Speaker 6: Oh, nothing.
• 54:39
  Speaker 9: I was just listening to you this morning about the
• 54:41
  Speaker 9: young man who caused his parents.
• 54:43
  Speaker 6: To v-mode him with the money. Yeah.
• 54:45
  Speaker 4: Can you tell me what in the world is wrong
• 54:48
  Speaker 4: with these people?
• 54:48
  Speaker 8: What is wrong with.
• 54:50
  Speaker 7: Lightening the load.
• 54:51
  Speaker 4: For your kids.
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: Well, what the problem was, the kid already went out
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: and ate with his friends and asked his parents to
• 54:58
  Speaker 1: pay him back for dinner. That's where everybody got, oh, man,
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: that's not teaching him nothing. That's not letting him be responsible.
• 55:05
  Speaker 2: He's in college.
• 55:06
  Speaker 8: Exactly.
• 55:08
  Speaker 2: Who cares man if you got the.

• 55:29
  Speaker 9: hard for us exactly.
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: And the problem was all these parents have money. All
• 55:35
  Speaker 1: these people who were at this party I was at
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: last night all have money. They're not hurting for, they
• 55:40
  Speaker 1: could all afford to send their kids 30 bucks or whatever.
• 55:43
  Speaker 2: It was like whatever it was, you know?
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: But they just, here's my problem with it.
• 55:49
  Speaker 2: People think, people don't want.
• 55:51
  Speaker 1: To have entitled kids, but they don't realize that you
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: can raise entitled kids and still treat them entitled.
• 55:57
  Speaker 8: Absolutely. You live that life for them. It's okay.
• 56:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly.
• 56:03
  Speaker 8: I totally agree. It is nothing wrong with him.
• 56:06
  Speaker 6: Calling the parents.
• 56:06
  Speaker 3: Like, listen, he's already in college.
• 56:08
  Speaker 4: It's tough enough out there.
• 56:09
  Speaker 2: It is.
• 56:10
  Speaker 9: And all the money that the parents have, listen, you're
• 56:13
  Speaker 9: not taking it with you.
• 56:15
  Speaker 10: Mm-hmm.
• 56:16
  Speaker 2: Some of these parents are so selfish nowadays, though.
• 56:18
  Speaker 1: It just seems like it's not a competition with your kid.
• 56:22
  Speaker 2: And do a little parenting. Teach them to be humble
• 56:25
  Speaker 2: and respectful and responsible. Teach them that.
• 56:29
  Speaker 9: Yeah, and it's okay to help out every now and again.
• 56:32
  Speaker 7: That's what you're teaching them as well.
• 56:33
  Speaker 9: Exactly.
• 56:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I get it.
• 56:34
  Speaker 8: I get it.
• 56:35
  Speaker 2: All right, thanks for calling. Talk to you later.
• 56:37
  Speaker 5: Bye.
• 56:38
  Speaker 2: That's all I'm saying.
• 56:39
  Speaker 1: All right, is you don't need to put them through
• 56:43
  Speaker 1: the ringer like you had to go through. And that's
• 56:45
  Speaker 1: what I have a lot of, you know, you think
• 56:47
  Speaker 1: the hard times are what taught you. No, it was
• 56:50
  Speaker 1: your parents that taught you. And if you really look
• 56:53
  Speaker 1: back on it, you'll know it wasn't the poor. It
• 56:56
  Speaker 1: wasn't growing up, you know. in a small house, it
• 57:01
  Speaker 1: wasn't growing up with, you know, multiple kids, it wasn't,
• 57:04
  Speaker 1: it wasn't, you know, the fact that your mom turned
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: a dollar into 15, so she can feed everybody, that, well,
• 57:11
  Speaker 1: that's what taught you, actually, but that's what I'm saying,
• 57:13
  Speaker 1: your parents taught you, and that's what you need to
• 57:16
  Speaker 1: do with your kids, you don't want to be entitled little,
• 57:19
  Speaker 1: you know, jerks, teach them not to be, but you
• 57:22
  Speaker 1: don't have to do that by, by holding out money
• 57:25
  Speaker 1: from them, or by, you know, making them go through
• 57:28
  Speaker 1: the same experiences that you went through.
• 57:30
  Speaker 2: What'd you send me here? It says, uh, Hey Rome.
• 57:34
  Speaker 2: Where is it?
• 57:34
  Speaker 10: Where is it?
• 57:35
  Speaker 1: It says, hey, Rome, that kid needs to get smart
• 57:39
  Speaker 1: and go apply for EBT because I'll tell you what
• 57:41
  Speaker 1: my kids are sophomores in college and I'm paying for
• 57:44
  Speaker 1: apartment and tuition. You best believe she went and got
• 57:48
  Speaker 1: EBT as I can't afford to put food in her
• 57:51
  Speaker 1: apartment either. The government seems to screw you in every
• 57:55
  Speaker 1: which way.
• 57:56
  Speaker 2: You better take advantage of that EBT.
• 57:59
  Speaker 1: Ha, ha, ha.
• 58:01
  Speaker 2: That's actually very funny.
• 58:04
  Speaker 1: Um, because my mom and dad, when they were in
• 58:07
  Speaker 1: their twenties and they were this kids, it was, uh,
• 58:11
  Speaker 1: they all went and got on EBT just because it was,
• 58:14
  Speaker 1: I guess it was so easy. I don't know what
• 58:16
  Speaker 1: it takes to get on EBT nowadays, but it was
• 58:18
  Speaker 1: so easy for them to get EBT, even though they were, um,
• 58:23
  Speaker 1: I mean, they were just kids and they, uh, I
• 58:26
  Speaker 1: don't remember if they were, I think they were They
• 58:29
  Speaker 1: were working.
• 58:30
  Speaker 2: They might have been in college. I'm not totally sure,
• 58:32
  Speaker 2: but yeah.
• 58:33
  Speaker 1: My mom said, yeah, me and my friends just went
• 58:36
  Speaker 1: down because they wanted to. And so they just went
• 58:38
  Speaker 1: down to the EBT office and got money. I don't
• 58:41
  Speaker 1: even know that they needed it. It was just so
• 58:43
  Speaker 1: easy to get that they just did it. So, yeah.
• 58:48
  Speaker 6: All right.
• 58:49
  Speaker 2: Okay, I did have.
• 58:50
  Speaker 1: This something I was going to get into, but I
• 58:52
  Speaker 1: think I need to get into this first. I want
• 58:54
  Speaker 1: to talk about candy for a minute. Now, everybody has
• 58:59
  Speaker 1: their favorite candy, right? When you go out trick-or-treating, you
• 59:02
  Speaker 1: have your favorite candy, you know what you like. What
• 59:04
  Speaker 1: is the worst candy to get? We were having this
• 59:07
  Speaker 1: conversation yesterday right before I got out of here. Now,
• 59:10
  Speaker 1: when I go and buy candy for trick-or-treaters, I like,
• 59:13
  Speaker 1: I can't afford full candy size bars, okay? I just,
• 59:16
  Speaker 1: I don't make that kind of money. And I get
• 59:18
  Speaker 1: way too many kids in my neighborhood to hand them out.
• 59:22
  Speaker 2: I but I like, I don't want to go cheap.
• 59:27
  Speaker 1: I don't want to go just buy what I call
• 59:29
  Speaker 1: that bag of filler candy. You know, the, the, the
• 59:32
  Speaker 1: Tootsie Roll, whatever that big bag is with the Tootsie
• 59:35
  Speaker 1: Pops and the.
• 59:36
  Speaker 2: I don't even know what's in it.
• 59:37
  Speaker 1: Some weird colored green, I don't know, caramel candy or
• 59:41
  Speaker 1: taffy candy. I don't even know what it is, but
• 59:45
  Speaker 1: so I try to go buy the bags of, um,
• 59:49
  Speaker 1: You know, the ones that have the M & Ms and.
• 59:52
  Speaker 2: The Nerds and the ones that have the.
• 59:56
  Speaker 1: Maybe the Kit Kats or the Snickers bars or the
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 1: Milky Ways or... You guys know what I'm talking about.
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 1: The mixed bags like that. Now, they're kind of expensive.
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 2: I get it.
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 1: So I tried to kind of buy extras like the lollipops.
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 1: Those are all, you know, the blow pops and things
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 1: like that. Try to mix it up a little bit.
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 2: But I was.
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 1: Looking at a bag of candy yesterday, and it had
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 1: candy corn in it. Candy corn, I think, is the
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 1: worst candy to give anybody. I don't think it's good.
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 1: I think it's the worst candy to give somebody. It's
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 1: not in a wrapper. It's just a hard piece of
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 1: candy you're throwing into somebody's bag. So it got me
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 1: to thinking about candy. What is the best candy?
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 6: What is your.
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 1: What is your favorite candy to get and what is
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 1: your worst candy to get? Do you think there's a
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 1: consensus amongst all of us that there is one candy
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 1: that nobody likes to get in their bag that you
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 1: just throw away?
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 2: Already four, two, five, four, seven, seven. So what is it?
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 1: What's your worst candy? What's your best candy? Throw me
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 1: outside of the four point. I guess here's a better
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 1: way to put it. What candy do you steal from
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 1: your kids today? when you go through their candy bags.
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 1: Trick-or-treating is coming. Halloween is almost here. Let's talk about
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 1: the best candy and the worst candy.
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 2: What is it?
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 11: 842-5477.
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 2: Good morning. What's going on?
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 3: Hey, what was the question? What was the nastiest candy,
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 3: you think?
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the candy corn, I think, is the worst candy.
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 7: No, I think it's the black licorice.
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 3: That was nasty.
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, black licorice. Yeah, black licorice. What do you think?
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 2: Do you like that one or no? Yeah, I, yeah.
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 2: You might be right about that. You might be right
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 2: about that.
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I was trying to get you. I was getting
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 3: you on my buddy, and I was like, well, sure. So, yeah,
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 3: that's what you get.
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 2: All right, man. Thanks for calling.
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 3: Go Cowboys!
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 2: Oh, I'm glad he got that in there. I actually
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 2: forgot about black licorice.
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 6: Wow.
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 2: I don't see a lot of black. Do you guys
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 2: get a lot of licorice in your candy bags? I
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 2: know the red vines. I see those.
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 1: R-D-4-2-5-4-7-7. Hey, Rome, candy corn is my favorite, but I
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 1: hate black licorice. All right, Raider Rob, I don't know.
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 1: What is the worst candy? Hey, Rome, the best candy
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 1: is the Jolly Ranchers. The worst candy, hot tamales or
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 1: candy corn tamales.
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 2: Uh, that stuff tastes like plastic. Um, yeah, I like
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 2: the rain. I, uh, yeah, I kind of like the, uh,
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 2: Jolly Ranchers.
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 3: Huh?
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 2: I do like Jolly Ranchers. Those are kind of, but.
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 1: I think the Jolly Ranchers are in that bag of, uh,
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 1: filler candy. You know, you get that little, that big
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 1: bag with the little, uh, little, um, tootsie rolls and the,
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 1: and the Jolly Ranchers.
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 5: Okay. Okay.
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 1: 44, 254, 7 to 7. What do you got? What's
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 1: the best candy? What's the worst candy? What's the best candy?
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 1: What's the worst candy, right? Everybody has their favorites. Everybody
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 1: has the one that they don't want to get. For me,
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 1: it was candy corn. I never liked getting candy corn. A-Rome,
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 1: the worst candy is mint chocolate.
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 2: What do you mean?
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 1: Like those Andy's mints? The ones you get at the
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 1: steakhouse after dinner?
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 2: Those are great. I love those.
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 1: All right, 8-4-2-5-4, 7-7 roll. Don't forget root beer barrels.
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 2: They're nasty. What are the root beer barrels? I don't
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 2: remember what the root beer barrels are. Are they hard? Oh,
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 2: those hard?
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 9: Yes, yes.
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 1: I know they're hard. They're like a hard candy, huh? Oh,
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 1: I forgot about those. All right, 8-4-2-5-4, 7-7. Good morning.
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 2: What's going on?
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 6: Hey, good morning.
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 7: So this is the first year at our new.
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 6: Spot that I'm going to be handing out candy.
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 7: And I was being a cheesecake, and I got the
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 7: 50-year-old pack.
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 2: The big one? No, no, no, no.
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 1: You can't embarrass yourself like that.
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 5: No.
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 2: No, no.
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 7: That's what I'm saying. I was like, I don't want
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 7: to be the lady.
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 3: No one has given out the Tootsie Rolls.
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 7: Especially because my house.
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 4: Is dig up.
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 7: I was like, no, I can't do this.
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 2: I still bought them.
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 7: But I was like, I kept thinking about it. I'm like, no,
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 7: I'm going to go get a bag of the Kit Kats,
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 7: the Twizzlers, that bag.
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you got to come. If it's your first year
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 2: in the neighborhood, you can't do that.
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 6: No. I know.
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 4: So I got that right.
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 7: That's awesome.
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 5: Hey.
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 2: That's awesome.
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 1: I'm like, God, now I really am going to be
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 1: the Kissy Roll Girl.
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 2: You can't be doing that. No, you're going to embarrass yourself.
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 2: You can't embarrass yourself first year at the neighborhood.
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 7: I was like, I can't do that.
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 6: All right.
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 2: Well, good luck. Oh, she's going to be the Tootsie
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 2: Roll lady.
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 1: The only thing worse than the Tootsie Roll lady in
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 1: the neighborhood is the cat lady.
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 10: All right.
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 2: Eight, four, two, five, four, seven, seven. Good morning. What's
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 2: going on?
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 8: Hey, what's up?
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 2: Hey, what's going on, man?
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 8: Man, she's new in the neighborhood and she's going to
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 8: hand out Tootsie Rolls?
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 3: That's guaranteed asking to get your house egged.
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 2: No, she figured it out. She figured it out.
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 9: Yeah, don't give the Tootsie Rolls out because I think
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 9: that between that and that candy corn, I.
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 3: Think those are the top two right there, bro.
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, those are not the best. Tootsie Rolls, yeah, they're
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 2: not the best. You ain't lying.
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 3: You got to think about that, Rome. You give out
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 3: bad candy, you know what I mean, and then your
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 3: house gets egg or toilet paper.
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 2: Well, first of all, let's be honest.
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 1: Eggs and toilet paper cost too much, and aren't they
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 1: taking away EBT or something like that?
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 3: It don't matter, Rome.
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 2: You kids over here don't think about that, Rome. Ain't
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 2: nobody doing that.
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 6: Anyway.
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 3: You got to take care of them. It's only once
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 3: a year.
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 4: Hook them up.
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think she's learning. It's her first time. Cut
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 2: her some slack. My God, she figured it out.
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 3: It's her first time in the neighborhood room.
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 2: No, she says it's her first time handing out candy.
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 2: She's just figuring it out. She figured it out.
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 3: Cut her some slack.
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 2: Damn, Ruben.
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 1: You got to cut people some slack sometimes.
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 8: I can't cut her no slack.
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 6: You shouldn't even be thinking about tootsie rolls, especially if
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 6: you knew it was your first time.
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 3: Oh, no.
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 2: She figured it out. Give her a break. Come on now. Relax.
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 8: That's the nastiest candy I've ever seen in my life.
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 2: All right, Ruben.
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 6: Later, bro.
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 2: Jeez, relax, man. Cut her some slack. She figured it out. R-D-4-2-5-4-7-7-8, Romeo.
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 1: I got to tell you a story like that last
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 1: lady that called me and my wife both grew up
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 1: on the east side. We grew up poor. We came
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 1: up a little bit, started making some real money. We
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 1: moved out to a real upper end neighborhood out in
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 1: the Rosedale area.
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 2: The first year trick or treating came around.
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 1: We were so excited. My wife went and bought a
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 1: bunch of candy. Now, Rome, we're from the east side.
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 1: She went to Mercado Latino and bought a bunch of
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 1: Mexican candy, hundreds of dollars worth of candy ready to
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 1: hand it out. I thought, oh my God, what have
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 1: you done?
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 2: We're in a new neighborhood. We're Mexican. We're going to
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 2: hand out Mexican candy. It's all going to go bad, Rome.
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 1: The kids, it actually went great.
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 2: The kids loved it.
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 1: When I woke up the next morning, just paper candy
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 1: wrappers everywhere in my front yard. The kids are eating
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 1: the candies we gave it to them.
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 2: Oh, that's hilarious. That's great.
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 1: We're talking about the best and the worst candy. And
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 1: apparently your first Halloween, right? The first time handing out candy.
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 1: What do you do?
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 2: R-D-4-2-5-4-7-7.
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 1: That's what people are sending me stories about. Hey, Romeo,
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 1: my husband and I, when we got our first home,
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 1: we were so excited about handing out candy for Halloween.
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 1: We decorated the whole house. We had lights up. We
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 1: had scary monsters in our front yard. I must have
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 1: bought a thousand pieces of candy ready to go, and
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 1: only about 12 people showed up. We didn't realize how
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 1: new our neighborhood was. We moved into a new neighborhood
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 1: as it was being built, and there were not that
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 1: many kids in the neighborhood yet.
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 2: Now, though, We have lots of kids, so we get
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 2: lots of trick-or-treaters.
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 1: But that first year was hilarious. We had all this
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 1: candy left over.
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 2: That's pretty funny.
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 1: I mean, you do got to know your neighborhood when
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 1: it comes to Halloween because you can live, like my mom,
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 1: she lives in an older, established neighborhood. So all of
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 1: the kids have all grown up and moved out. So
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 1: now it's just the grandparents that live there, the parents
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 1: that live there.
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 2: So she only gets about half a dozen trick-or-treaters. So
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 2: my mom makes these huge, almost like.
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 1: Gift baskets for the kids that show up. But yeah,
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 1: especially when you move into these new neighborhoods where they're
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 1: still building houses.
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 2: Not many kids live there, so you got to be careful.
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 2: You got to know what you're doing.
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 1: R-D-4-2-5-4, 7 to 7, Halloween is coming, right? Make sure
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 1: you guys stock up on the right kind of candy. Don't,
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 1: I mean, obviously, like I said, I mean, I would
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 1: love to give out the full-size candy bars, but I
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 1: can't afford it. There's just too many kids that come
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 1: through the neighborhood, so I really can't afford it.
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 2: But I don't want to go cheap on my candy.
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 1: I'm not giving out Tootsie Rolls and, you know, Jolly
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 1: Ranchers or Tootsie Rolls and candy corn. I try to
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 1: do what I can, but there's all, but you do
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 1: have to understand one thing.
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 2: Kids are not stupid when it comes to Halloween.
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 1: Kids know what, kids know what houses are going to
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 1: give out the best candy and they actually talk about
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 1: it They do.
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 2: So be careful. Don't be that house.
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 1: Don't be that lady that hands out the bad candy.
