- 9:04Speaker 1: some of our favorite accomplishments we've done so far.
- 9:06Speaker 5: I know we are.
- 9:07Speaker 1: I mean, we've been on every snack. We're talking oreos,
- 9:10Speaker 1: we're talking nut about it. We've done chips, please em
- 9:13Speaker 1: and m's please chips. We've been there and we did
- 9:17Speaker 1: some demolishing.
- 9:18Speaker 5: Let's talk about it.
- 9:19Speaker 1: I mean, we turned doritos, we made them, we made
- 9:22Speaker 1: them look like a cursed woman.
- 9:24Speaker 3: Let's talk about the absolute bulldozer we brought into Doritos.
- 9:27Speaker 2: It was to give them as if it's not triangle,
- 9:30Speaker 2: what if it's a cursed woman, the exact face when
- 9:33Speaker 2: you drop a bomb like that, when you press the
- 9:36Speaker 2: slide and the Dorito becomes a curse cursed. It brought
- 9:41Speaker 2: the room to tears.
- 9:42Speaker 1: I mean, and particularly people that work in chips, the
- 9:45Speaker 1: most boring fucking losers I've ever met in my life, come.
- 9:47Speaker 2: Up with another shape if it killed the exact literally exactly.
- 9:53Speaker 2: They thought they were blowing everybody away with the triangle.
- 9:56Speaker 3: Come on, what's a triangle? Three? Who cares?
- 9:59Speaker 2: Yeah? Who cares?
- 10:01Speaker 4: What we do is we go into every office that
- 10:03Speaker 4: we go to and we turn the lights off in
- 10:05Speaker 4: the boardroom.
- 10:06Speaker 7: Yeah, and we go it's time to get spooky, right,
- 10:09Speaker 7: So we walk into Dorito's and those fucking boring focks
- 10:12Speaker 7: are sitting there and we go turn the lights off
- 10:15Speaker 7: and they get freaked out right.
- 10:17Speaker 3: And then my favorite is when Marty comes in.
- 10:19Speaker 4: Yeah, and Marty always starts with the slide show.
- 10:23Speaker 3: I start with the slide show and it goes what
- 10:26Speaker 3: makes you scream? And we make everybody around the room
- 10:34Speaker 3: say their name, their age, and what makes them scream. Yes,
- 10:38Speaker 3: and some people, you know, they're very afraid of certain things,
- 10:42Speaker 3: so we try and tap into that. We try and
- 10:43Speaker 3: tap in if you say spiders, we're bringing spiders to
- 10:47Speaker 3: the office the next day. Because we want to work
- 10:49Speaker 3: with companies. We don't want to just come in and
- 10:52Speaker 3: push all of our Halloween agenda on the company. You know,
- 10:54Speaker 3: we understand that we're a guest in these offices. We're
- 10:57Speaker 3: a guest and that's why we have a protocol of
- 10:59Speaker 3: what we do. We just need all the employees on
- 11:01Speaker 3: Edge to get on our level, you know.
- 11:03Speaker 2: And sometimes I will say, sometimes that leads us astray,
- 11:06Speaker 2: because not everything that makes you scream is necessarily Halloween.
- 11:10Speaker 2: Were saying bears, A lot of people are saying.
- 11:12Speaker 8: Shots, and we go, we just can't work with we
- 11:15Speaker 8: We tried to make an ice cream sandwich into a
- 11:17Speaker 8: bear and it didn't work because we confused everybody a
- 11:21Speaker 8: Dryer said, this isn't working for us, and everyone in
- 11:23Speaker 8: the mass public didn't like it.
- 11:25Speaker 3: Yeah, or that guy at what was it Mountain Dew?
- 11:28Speaker 3: He said he was scared of cheating on his wife,
- 11:32Speaker 3: and we went, what do we do with that?
- 11:33Speaker 2: He was scared, he was having a work situationship come up.
- 11:37Speaker 2: He was so scared he was actually going to bite
- 11:38Speaker 2: the bull.
- 11:39Speaker 5: And tried, we tried code in fidelity, try to shape it.
- 11:43Speaker 5: I guess to be honest, a lot of people were
- 11:45Speaker 5: buying cod in.
- 11:47Speaker 3: But it wasn't Halloween, right, and it was just kind.
- 11:50Speaker 1: Of Yeah, it was the amount of people buying the
- 11:53Speaker 1: Mountain Dew that allows you to cheat on your wife.
- 11:55Speaker 3: It was crazy, that crossover Polyamory Mountain.
- 12:00Speaker 7: Oh yes, but let's get but my favorite. We have
- 12:03Speaker 7: this here, my absolute favorite stuff for twenty twenty five.
- 12:10Speaker 7: If you get a lunchable, okay in Halloween in October.
- 12:14Speaker 7: This lunchable has fake cobwebs all over it. I think
- 12:18Speaker 7: it's so fun. The kid's open it up and it's
- 12:21Speaker 7: got bubble gum cobwebs.
- 12:23Speaker 3: It's so fun. It's scary as shit. The bologna is
- 12:29Speaker 3: in the shape of a bat and we walked away
- 12:33Speaker 3: with a lot of money from that deal.
- 12:35Speaker 5: Let me talk about this too, by the way, all you.
- 12:39Speaker 1: All you absolute losers that are coming for us because
- 12:42Speaker 1: you're saying, oh, you covered my lunchable and gummy gum
- 12:46Speaker 1: that is not healthy.
- 12:47Speaker 2: It's melted and got on the crash.
- 12:49Speaker 5: I'm so sorry. We do this once a year. Your
- 12:52Speaker 5: kid can be unhealthy for once a year.
- 12:54Speaker 2: Live a little.
- 12:56Speaker 5: You're saying this the only other time you lintl mama, whatever.
- 12:58Speaker 2: Grow up?
- 12:59Speaker 4: Oh please a lentil mama. That sounds like abuse to me.
- 13:02Speaker 1: Yeah, I see. If I see a kid eating lynzils,
- 13:06Speaker 1: I literally call CPS.
- 13:08Speaker 7: If I see a kid none on a carrot, I go,
- 13:10Speaker 7: how fucking sad, How fucking sad that kid? Get that
- 13:14Speaker 7: kid some fun dip.
- 13:15Speaker 3: It should be a candy corn. It should be a
- 13:18Speaker 3: candy Every kid should have candy corn stuck in their
- 13:20Speaker 3: braces or else. And if they're not, tell your parents,
- 13:23Speaker 3: call the cops on themselves.
- 13:26Speaker 1: Tell your parents, tell your parents to call the cops
- 13:29Speaker 1: on themselves. If there's not candy corn on your braces.
- 13:31Speaker 7: You know why they should do that, because they're owning
- 13:33Speaker 7: it and they're having Okay, let's talk our favorite items this.
- 13:37Speaker 3: Yes, I did mind lunchibles.
- 13:40Speaker 2: I'm really excited for Google arms twigs. The left and
- 13:44Speaker 2: the right are now both arms that have been severed
- 13:47Speaker 2: off a ghoul. We've gotten the twigs permission to shape
- 13:50Speaker 2: the candy into a fore arm from here to there.
- 13:53Speaker 2: It finishes with a little fingy and you know it's
- 13:56Speaker 2: a ghoul because of the shape.
- 13:57Speaker 5: That's right, because of the shape.
- 13:59Speaker 7: Let's go back to how good we just like normal
- 14:02Speaker 7: natural shapes. We were the ones that with Reeses that went,
- 14:05Speaker 7: let's make it a pumpkin. Don't do anything with it,
- 14:07Speaker 7: just make it the shape.
- 14:08Speaker 1: And can I say you're welcome for the Reese's pumpkin.
- 14:11Speaker 1: We created the perfect thing.
- 14:12Speaker 5: We did it, We did it.
- 14:13Speaker 2: It was easy and it's been hard to top that
- 14:16Speaker 2: ever since.
- 14:16Speaker 1: It's interesting too, because the ghoul fingers are fun because
- 14:19Speaker 1: of the ghoul arms, because because you have to build
- 14:23Speaker 1: a little elbow in the twigs, and then that becomes
- 14:25Speaker 1: a whole supply chain issue. We have to build a
- 14:27Speaker 1: new machine that makes an elbow in our twigs, and
- 14:30Speaker 1: we say, well, figure it out.
- 14:31Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's sort of like it adds costs and
- 14:33Speaker 3: it's like, well, do you want to be a Halloween
- 14:36Speaker 3: candy company or do you not? And that is usually
- 14:38Speaker 3: what answers the question for people.
- 14:40Speaker 2: It's a new mold that they just don't want to
- 14:41Speaker 2: deal with, and we go cough.
- 14:44Speaker 3: Up, cuff up, up up, Halloween.
- 14:48Speaker 2: Cough up, honey, it's Halloween.
- 14:50Speaker 5: Co Honey, it's Halloween.
- 14:52Speaker 3: Cough up, honey, it's Halloween.
- 14:54Speaker 2: I wanted to do it a third.
- 14:55Speaker 5: Okay, that's fun.
- 14:57Speaker 2: What are some more shapes that we're excited about and
- 14:58Speaker 2: more Halloween things we're doing.
- 15:01Speaker 5: Well, I'm so excited personally.
- 15:03Speaker 1: We're doing a really really cool thing that we're making
- 15:06Speaker 1: cheeses look like eyes, and it's gonna be so fun.
- 15:11Speaker 2: Doing it.
- 15:11Speaker 1: Well, I want to say, everyone's concerned, Well, what if
- 15:13Speaker 1: the che cheese it isn't sharp anymore, don't worry.
- 15:16Speaker 5: It's always gonna be sharp.
- 15:17Speaker 1: It's just gonna be sharp on two sides except for
- 15:19Speaker 1: four and and we're gonna just let it be big.
- 15:23Speaker 2: And there's only four a package. Yeah, they're really big.
- 15:26Speaker 3: We're doing cheese and pop tarts basically basically pop tarts.

- 17:06Speaker 3: the comments? If you've heard of a sun dried tomato? Yes,
- 17:08Speaker 3: say I've heard of this if you have. So we're
- 17:10Speaker 3: doing it. We're stretching out these red vines. We're putting
- 17:14Speaker 3: them in the sun. We're crisping them up, and we
- 17:17Speaker 3: are making them into little bones. And if you collect
- 17:20Speaker 3: them all, you can make a little red vine bone man.
- 17:24Speaker 3: And rumor has it, legend has it, legend has it
- 17:27Speaker 3: in our slack that if you put the red vine
- 17:30Speaker 3: bone man on the tippy top of a mountain on
- 17:33Speaker 3: Halloween night, he might come to lives the.
- 17:36Speaker 2: Legend that's the legend on our slack. It's an amazing
- 17:40Speaker 2: thing that started developing out of note. I even believe
- 17:43Speaker 2: that we would come up with something like that.
- 17:45Speaker 1: I can have a shout out to Marty. Because the
- 17:48Speaker 1: people had red vines, they didn't believe in this vision. No,
- 17:50Speaker 1: So Marty she went in and she said, I will
- 17:52Speaker 1: do this myself. So she's out there on the patio
- 17:55Speaker 1: stretching and sun drying these red vines.
- 17:59Speaker 3: And you're doing it bare foot. I'm doing it barefoot.
- 18:03Speaker 3: I'm talking to them. I'm mottering kids, my kids, my kids.
- 18:08Speaker 3: And it's when you believe in something, you just have
- 18:11Speaker 3: to go for.
- 18:12Speaker 2: It, you know what I mean. And that's a lot
- 18:14Speaker 2: of the time. A lot of these companies don't want
- 18:16Speaker 2: to do it. They just want pumpkin, They just want
- 18:19Speaker 2: the shakes. We are trying to stretch the bounds of
- 18:24Speaker 2: what is possible for candy the ultimate medium and to
- 18:27Speaker 2: say on their line, and sometimes you have to take
- 18:30Speaker 2: it to your own hands to do it.
- 18:32Speaker 3: You know, you should grab it with your own hands.
- 18:34Speaker 2: Candy corn, What about candy zucchini? You know what does
- 18:38Speaker 2: that mean?
- 18:39Speaker 3: Well, let me show you, because a zucchini, if we
- 18:42Speaker 3: if you would, let us show you a zucchini is
- 18:44Speaker 3: closely related to a squash, which is closely related to
- 18:46Speaker 3: a pumpkin. It all leads back to Halloween. Always, there's
- 18:51Speaker 3: always Halloween. For those with eyes to.
- 18:53Speaker 5: See it exactly and also it kind of in Layman's terms.
- 18:57Speaker 5: You turn the candy corn green and that's it, right,
- 19:00Speaker 5: And it's like you don't.
- 19:01Speaker 4: Really need to change anything operationally.
- 19:03Speaker 2: Just people don't even need to know it's candy candy
- 19:08Speaker 2: corn green. Creepy you want to I do want.
- 19:10Speaker 3: To address something.
- 19:11Speaker 2: I want to address something.
- 19:12Speaker 3: We're talking about putting.
- 19:13Speaker 2: Green dye in. There we go, Here we go.
- 19:15Speaker 4: Christmas candy designers are some of the worst people you've ever.
- 19:19Speaker 2: Met, and hacks.
- 19:21Speaker 3: I can't be in a room.
- 19:23Speaker 2: I can't be in a room.
- 19:25Speaker 3: Put me in a room with Tommy Jingle House and
- 19:27Speaker 3: I will scream.
- 19:28Speaker 4: He goes, Oh make that a tree. Oh God, Tommy,
- 19:32Speaker 4: just grow up.
- 19:33Speaker 2: I don't want to get started. But they are the
- 19:35Speaker 2: least inventive people I have ever met.
- 19:38Speaker 3: Well, it's easy to make something Christmas when the entire
- 19:41Speaker 3: fucking holiday has been laid out for you. You know
- 19:43Speaker 3: what I mean, there's no creating.
- 19:45Speaker 1: These little dumb asses walk in. They look at Yorkty.
- 19:48Speaker 1: What if it's an ornament? It already is an ornament user.
- 19:51Speaker 1: We are making something from nothing. We are taking a
- 19:54Speaker 1: vision and we are putting a completely new spin on it.
- 19:57Speaker 7: Yes, yes, we're also starting going from a mo which
- 20:00Speaker 7: is fear, fear, fear, take take sugar, and then and
- 20:06Speaker 7: then put it with an emotion which.
- 20:07Speaker 5: Is, ah, what's the feeling? What's the emotion of Christmas presents?
- 20:12Speaker 2: Ornament plastics? And you would think maybe our job would
- 20:16Speaker 2: entail every single holiday. No, no, no, we do Halloween.
- 20:20Speaker 2: There's a different team for a different holiday, okay, And
- 20:22Speaker 2: I wouldn't want to be on a team like that.
- 20:24Speaker 2: I know some people at Peeps, some good people at Peeps,
- 20:26Speaker 2: and they are ragged.
- 20:28Speaker 3: They are I mean, those guys are sleepy.
- 20:31Speaker 2: They are literally like dead and rise in three days.
- 20:34Speaker 5: It's crazy.
- 20:34Speaker 2: Sunday is finally when they wake up.
- 20:36Speaker 5: Wait, I want to talk about something lifting the veil.
- 20:39Speaker 2: Please talk about it.
- 20:40Speaker 5: Let's talk about some of our.
- 20:41Speaker 1: Biggest failures, because I'm I love failure. Like that woman
- 20:44Speaker 1: who runs spanks, Failure is important and successful, it's exciting.
- 20:47Speaker 1: I think we should talk about the things that we
- 20:49Speaker 1: did that didn't work for us.
- 20:50Speaker 2: That woman who runs spanks is such a failure.
- 20:53Speaker 5: Well yeah, well she more specifically talks about chilire.
- 20:59Speaker 3: Everybody knows, and I think she's you know, I think she.
- 21:02Speaker 2: Did pretty well, she's no failure.
- 21:03Speaker 5: No, I think she looks like she did.
- 21:05Speaker 2: Her face gives like she's a failure.
- 21:08Speaker 5: No, no, no, I didn't say it like that.
- 21:13Speaker 1: Now, my wife wears spanks and she actually really loves them,
- 21:15Speaker 1: so I wouldn't say that.
- 21:17Speaker 2: It doesn't make her not a failure anyway.
- 21:19Speaker 5: My wife's a failure the woman who invented.
- 21:22Speaker 2: But your wife is trying to start that book and
- 21:25Speaker 2: it's not working.
- 21:26Speaker 4: And you can't start a book, you know, can't You
- 21:28Speaker 4: have to write a book.
- 21:28Speaker 2: You can't start a book. You know already. Na I know,
- 21:32Speaker 2: I know, Natasha, it doesn't turn on like a gar.
- 21:35Speaker 2: It's a good idea.
- 21:36Speaker 3: It's a good idea, and it's I know, it's all
- 21:38Speaker 3: in her head.
- 21:38Speaker 5: She just has to write it down, Natasha, I do
- 21:40Speaker 5: want to apologize to you guys. I know she talks
- 21:42Speaker 5: her ears off at the point.
- 21:44Speaker 3: I think it's a good idea. I think it's about
- 21:47Speaker 3: time somebody made robots sexy in a Twilight way. I
- 21:51Speaker 3: think it has legs and I.
- 21:52Speaker 5: Think she should do it and a character pick us setting.
- 21:56Speaker 2: You know, she's just world building. She just needs a
- 21:59Speaker 2: little She's.
- 22:00Speaker 3: Just like and then sometimes the cars are robots too,
- 22:03Speaker 3: and we're like Natasha, only I could start it and
- 22:05Speaker 3: we start with the story.
- 22:06Speaker 5: And she just came over with the money. She came
- 22:09Speaker 5: up with the financial system of the world first, ye.
- 22:13Speaker 3: Going, there's the whole thing mapped out that actually I
- 22:15Speaker 3: think would be better than our current financial system. She's
- 22:17Speaker 3: really solved a lot of problems.
- 22:18Speaker 2: Just wants to be a dungeon master. I think she
- 22:21Speaker 2: just thinks people in her work.
- 22:22Speaker 3: But I'm really passionate about the banking system.
- 22:25Speaker 5: Yes, whatever, she's forty five years old. You can't find
- 22:29Speaker 5: it just a D and D group, can you when.
- 22:31Speaker 3: You're forty five?
- 22:32Speaker 2: Believe me, these days it's easier than throw a nickel.
- 22:40Speaker 3: My cousin, he's a little younger, he's nineteen, but he
- 22:43Speaker 3: does run those campaigns if you want. If Natasha wants
- 22:45Speaker 3: his card, I can give you his car.
- 22:46Speaker 2: I think that's a great He has a carr. Nineteen
- 22:49Speaker 2: year old cousin has.
- 22:50Speaker 5: A I think sounds more true than the nineteen year
- 22:52Speaker 5: old who does D and D and also has a car.
- 22:54Speaker 5: I'll take that.
- 22:56Speaker 2: So let's talk about our biggest really quickly.
- 23:00Speaker 7: I want to apologize for my husband at the parties. Okay,
- 23:03Speaker 7: he just keeps talking about that damn lawnmower.
- 23:06Speaker 3: So and he's like, you just got to start it.
- 23:08Speaker 3: You just have to start the lawnmower.
- 23:11Speaker 2: Stop. Yeah, world, But he's like, I can't. I can't
- 23:15Speaker 2: imagine what's underneath.
- 23:17Speaker 7: My grass, and O honey, please stop talking. I went
- 23:20Speaker 7: did you talk to my coworkers about the lawnmower again?
- 23:22Speaker 3: Another year in a row.
- 23:23Speaker 1: But I think that's a bigger issue than my wife's
- 23:25Speaker 1: book because your yard looks terrifying me.
- 23:27Speaker 5: Yea's so overgrown. There's cats that are running a mukeet there, and.
- 23:30Speaker 2: That's inspiration for me.
- 23:31Speaker 7: I open, I wake up, open my eyes, look at
- 23:34Speaker 7: how scary my lawn goes. And I'm writing fifty candies
- 23:37Speaker 7: that day. Yeah, tall grass is just never going to work.
- 23:40Speaker 7: Tall grass is as a concept for scare is just
- 23:43Speaker 7: not going to work.
- 23:43Speaker 2: It's so spooky.
- 23:44Speaker 5: That is a good topic.
- 23:45Speaker 2: I love.
- 23:45Speaker 5: People never talk about their process. Let's talk about how
- 23:48Speaker 5: we come up with their scary candies.

- 24:57Speaker 2: No, this is the hardest people to pitch to. They
- 25:02Speaker 2: never want to change their shape.
- 25:04Speaker 3: They love their shape. They're obsessed with it.
- 25:06Speaker 2: On the cartridge of the candy.

- 26:49Speaker 3: issue for advertising. We have to wake out. We have
- 26:51Speaker 3: to work out is do we reveal the eminem first,
- 26:54Speaker 3: or do we say there's a door?
- 26:56Speaker 2: Or what about this?
- 26:57Speaker 4: What about the Eminem's holding on one hundred grand and

- 30:01Speaker 3: I'm glad you said it. I do, but I feel

- 30:06Speaker 3: like these shadows that appear of like a wonderful, magnificent
- 30:09Speaker 3: life in front of me, and I almost feel comforted.
- 30:13Speaker 2: By the more the paleo diet. This like Caveman paleo
- 30:16Speaker 2: diet a little too much.
- 30:18Speaker 3: That's tough. When you work in candy, you gotta learn
- 30:21Speaker 3: not to eat candy for breakfast, lunch, at dinner.
- 30:24Speaker 2: I mean hard, hard, hard to avoid candy all the time.
- 30:27Speaker 2: Sometimes I'm trying to pitch a Snickers and I go, oh,
- 30:30Speaker 2: I gotta eat yeah, exact well, I got to eat
- 30:32Speaker 2: one to try what they're tasting.
- 30:33Speaker 3: Of course, Oh, I've that that that whole diet. The well,
- 30:38Speaker 3: I better better eat one to know what would be
- 30:41Speaker 3: scary right now.
- 30:42Speaker 2: It's a diet and it's destroying our lives.
- 30:44Speaker 5: It's a diet. I mean, it's hard to work in candy.
- 30:46Speaker 4: Let's be honest, working in candy as adults.
- 30:50Speaker 2: Well, do you want to do your morning page?
- 30:51Speaker 5: My morning page is real quick. It's nothing.
- 30:54Speaker 10: Oh gosh, I suck. Gosh, I'm bad, Gosh, I've got nothing. Gosh,
- 30:59Speaker 10: I'm gosh, Oh gosh, I wish I could figure something out.
- 31:03Speaker 10: Why is it that boy candies are long and girl
- 31:07Speaker 10: candies are around.
- 31:09Speaker 2: I don't think there's.
- 31:12Speaker 1: What happened if a Twizzler and a red Vine kiss
- 31:15Speaker 1: and what the front their lips in the bottom there.
- 31:20Speaker 3: But morning pages were comedy pages.
- 31:25Speaker 5: If a Reese's was around, then why is it TwixT erectank?
- 31:30Speaker 2: I think he's missing the idea of morning pages entirely.
- 31:34Speaker 5: About my mother in law. Info about my mother in law.
- 31:37Speaker 5: My mother in law is loud, my mother in law
- 31:39Speaker 5: is mean. My mother in law will not leave the
- 31:42Speaker 5: bathroom until she's washed her hands.
- 31:43Speaker 2: Three to generate material.
- 31:48Speaker 1: Okay, pitch, pitch, pitch Okay, okay, okay, hear about this,
- 31:53Speaker 1: about this, hear about this. This. One guy found a
- 31:59Speaker 1: little tiny penny in his shoe. Turns out the penny
- 32:02Speaker 1: was a rare penny. He took it in and he
- 32:05Speaker 1: got one hundred dollars for a penny.
- 32:07Speaker 2: How did this come from? Step mother? God? Get it out,
- 32:17Speaker 2: Get out, you stupid loser, Leslie, get it out.
- 32:23Speaker 5: Frankenstein dial chips.
- 32:27Speaker 3: Okay, okay, that's a million.
- 32:33Speaker 2: Franken's chips. I mean it's a crossover that was bound
- 32:38Speaker 2: to happen eventually.
- 32:40Speaker 3: Everybody wonders, why do you do the Morning Pages if
- 32:42Speaker 3: you're just candy consultants? Why would you do that?
- 32:45Speaker 2: This is why?
- 32:46Speaker 7: Why that bullshit that had to walk so deal chips
- 32:50Speaker 7: with Frankenstein could run and deal.
- 32:51Speaker 2: Chips notoriously are one of the two green type of chips.
- 32:55Speaker 2: It's jalapeno and dal chip.
- 32:56Speaker 3: It's really the only green chip you can do. Before
- 32:58Speaker 3: people start asking questions, would say, this is obvious, but
- 33:01Speaker 3: why haven't you thought it?
- 33:02Speaker 2: You know?
- 33:03Speaker 5: Yes, should we what I wasn't gonna ask earlier? I
- 33:06Speaker 5: think I talked about our biggest failures.
- 33:09Speaker 3: We should brushed them.
- 33:11Speaker 5: Under the rub just like you brushed them under every
- 33:13Speaker 5: time talk about talk.
- 33:16Speaker 7: About we have to address our failure, you have to
- 33:19Speaker 7: grieve them because some of these ideas are my children sometimes, right.
- 33:22Speaker 7: I felt awful when our whole TGI Friday's Halloween Crossover met.
- 33:29Speaker 2: You just tecked like those Halloween.
- 33:32Speaker 3: TG I die days.

- 33:44Speaker 3: They hated all of it. Sticks and bones.
- 33:49Speaker 2: And bone. We had not booze poop, French onion poop.
- 33:56Speaker 2: That kind of set most people off. So that was
- 33:59Speaker 2: the the flag ship that got people really upset.
- 34:04Speaker 3: We really hate poop is Halloween because sometimes.
- 34:07Speaker 2: Sometimes it's a trick. Sometimes it's a trick, it's scary,
- 34:11Speaker 2: and the wordplay was just right in front of him.
- 34:13Speaker 5: You crack over the cheese crusted, there's poop, and you
- 34:16Speaker 5: know it was looked.
- 34:18Speaker 3: Like the TGI Friday's people went, you know, thanks, but
- 34:21Speaker 3: no thanks.

- 34:24Speaker 2: They were down for. They were young and down for
- 34:27Speaker 2: every everything.

- 34:30Speaker 5: smile faded.
- 34:31Speaker 7: Yeah, and then they literally like we already had the
- 34:34Speaker 7: deal signed and everything, and then French onion.

- 35:00Speaker 2: on the internet, going this twix is a teenager and

- 40:10Speaker 3: together and nobody knows why, and you feel like he's willing.
- 40:14Speaker 7: Their kid opening the door and they're banging, and you go, oh,

- 40:44Speaker 2: she wolf.
- 40:45Speaker 3: They're in the closet, yes, and you don't explain what
- 40:49Speaker 3: it is, no, because my dad, the commercial is already
- 40:52Speaker 3: over and you're already eating the candy.
- 40:54Speaker 5: Yeah. But then they tell us no, but it's the candy.
- 40:56Speaker 2: We don't. We know.
- 40:57Speaker 5: We got the song. That's what we're asking.
- 40:58Speaker 3: We have that part. We have.
- 41:02Speaker 2: It's so obvious the song war.

- 41:07Speaker 2: Anybody want to talk about more failures sucked.
- 41:13Speaker 3: I think we worked on that for what three years.
- 41:16Speaker 3: They wanted they wanted jello ghosts, they wanted completely translucent jello,
- 41:21Speaker 3: and it just looked like a sickly, sickly bold and silicon.
- 41:27Speaker 5: It looked like a Petri dish.
- 41:28Speaker 2: Yeah, like like we just were like, it's spooky, but
- 41:31Speaker 2: it's not.
- 41:33Speaker 3: Gave a fair shot and the kids. Gen Z hated
- 41:37Speaker 3: the augur Z hard.
- 41:40Speaker 2: It's hard I also want to say sometimes with them.
- 41:46Speaker 3: Having sex and they hate augur.

- 41:55Speaker 7: I'm talking about.
- 41:57Speaker 5: Oh, we've done a lot of stuff on dots. We
- 41:59Speaker 5: just changed the colors.
- 42:00Speaker 2: Yes, it's blood, blood dots, blood tabs, stababsabs. Nobody got that.
- 42:10Speaker 5: It used to be so simple, you know, we used
- 42:12Speaker 5: to just be able to do. But now it feels
- 42:14Speaker 5: like everything I mean, let's talk about this is.
- 42:16Speaker 2: The modern age.
- 42:17Speaker 1: I will say we lost we lost the Wednesday account,
- 42:21Speaker 1: the Netflix show Wednesday.
- 42:23Speaker 3: Yes, we we really, we really thought those Wednesday bars
- 42:32Speaker 3: we're going to work.
- 42:33Speaker 2: They were going to launch Wednesday.
- 42:34Speaker 3: Because we were just going back to a straight up bar.
- 42:37Speaker 5: We were talking to that Julie, we're going to do
- 42:38Speaker 5: wednesdates too, and.
- 42:41Speaker 7: And they said, you guys are aging, you're pitching us
- 42:45Speaker 7: dates and they said, we need younger people in the
- 42:48Speaker 7: Halloween candies.
- 42:49Speaker 2: Are actually delicious. We've just kind of all these are nice.
- 42:52Speaker 2: They're so nice.
- 42:53Speaker 3: And we had a messed up perception about dates because
- 42:55Speaker 3: we went to a date's conference. Yeah, that really sold
- 43:00Speaker 3: us on the idea of it being like a very
- 43:03Speaker 3: cool up and coming fruit.
- 43:05Speaker 5: Well, they were so earnest there.
- 43:06Speaker 3: I mean, there is such an conference.
- 43:10Speaker 7: Yeah, it's a yeah, forty dollars ahead to do unlimited
- 43:14Speaker 7: dates for three weeks, three days, three weeks.

- 43:24Speaker 2: I mean we learned much. Package of dates is already
- 43:26Speaker 2: about forty dollars. I mean it was crazy. We were
- 43:28Speaker 2: using the bathroom a lot, a lot.
- 43:32Speaker 3: It's crazy. We mourn that loss.
- 43:34Speaker 2: Really was tough.

- 44:20Speaker 2: I'm over it. We're over it. We're healing guys, I
- 44:25Speaker 2: think it's finally time to talk about Halloween potato. Let's
- 44:30Speaker 2: explain why twenty twenty five is the.
- 44:33Speaker 3: Year of the Halloween potato Now Full disclosure lays the
- 44:40Speaker 3: company has given us a hefty advance.
- 44:44Speaker 2: Idaho, the state has also given us a huge jumpsy
- 44:48Speaker 2: hefty lumpsome.
- 44:50Speaker 3: But that does not color the idea that we were
- 44:52Speaker 3: already gonna have already that the.
- 44:55Speaker 7: Advance almost has nothing to do nothing with Halloween being
- 44:59Speaker 7: the Year of the potatoes.
- 45:01Speaker 3: Almost nothing, just a happy coincidence, right, And because.
- 45:05Speaker 2: Potato can be sweet, it can be sour, it could
- 45:07Speaker 2: be savory, it can be gooey. Yeah, it can be
- 45:10Speaker 2: whatever you want it to be. It's kind of this universal,
- 45:13Speaker 2: versatile candy, you know.
- 45:15Speaker 1: Yeah, So for us, potatoes a candy now, and we're
- 45:18Speaker 1: so excited. There's so many things to do with it,

- 45:33Speaker 5: It looks like it's been dead in water for years.
- 45:35Speaker 5: Oh god.
- 45:36Speaker 3: We're doing mashed potato ghosts. We're molding a mashed potato
- 45:41Speaker 3: into a little ghost, and we're stringing them along from
- 45:45Speaker 3: the ceiling. We're hoping they can be sort of those
- 45:47Speaker 3: home depot big skeletons. We're hoping it could catch on
- 45:50Speaker 3: viral viral virals.
- 45:51Speaker 7: We're doing skinny fries, and it all together looks like
- 45:54Speaker 7: a jail cell.
