Starting point is 00:01:35 oh what color are you gonna paint them i've already oh love that color i'm about to put some razzle dazzle on top of it though oh i love that you know as someone a little sparkle melissa it's purplish for i mean y'all can't see it's a purplish color for what pennsylvania it should have been so um i can't even talk about it anyways um so you need a little sparkle there uh i did put up our christmas tree yesterday and you know what i was gonna say i'll allow it even melissa is not gonna have any words to say other than love that for you i was like i have to find some joy so um yeah i also i have to find some joy too but i also don't need people sending me what they presume would be my joy and i know that some of y'all are well-meaning but when have i or
Starting point is 00:02:28 have i ever been into inspirational quotes or inspirational videos ever in my life this is a wendy's not a chick-fil-a and it might turn into a waffle house i hope it does as someone who is that is like pretty high up there on my top five bucket list i want to go to a waffle house so badly and it should turn into a waffle house yeah um yeah i want everyone to just remember that like i might have been the one who posted the graphic on um our podcast instagram account about like i want a lobotomy um and so melissa didn't post that that was me but just understand melissa and i are friends and the the jokes of the uh not necessarily finding light in things but like you know that that was there was never you've never seen any of those inspirational posts on our
Starting point is 00:03:20 instagram no you know you've never seen me posting no so um please stop i've temporarily deleted my instagram well just like off my home page so i don't automatically click on it because my inbox is flooded right now and i don't understand why yeah um we were talking about this offline but like it's straight up most of the time just like patronizing even when it does not intend to come across like that um it's and it reminds me similarly to the dialogue every time there's a school shooting wherever it's like oh my god i can't imagine living in a place like that that's so horrible like i our government is telling me all of these things and it's like okay that's kind of like just imagine like if to to the reflection of that is like someone's
Starting point is 00:04:12 talking about um a miscarriage and someone going i can't even imagine that i'm i've never had one and i'm so lucky that my kids are all alive like it's just it's it it's super unnecessary most of the time i agree with you a lot of people are well-meaning some people very clearly aren't um but i always say like the the best thing to do if you want to be like oh i want to you know show this person a you don't need to show if we already know that you are like this sucks and feel it but it's just like fuck that like this fucking sucks like oh that like you don't have to it does not have to be a a kumbaya kind of um moment at all yeah so tell me about your decorations so um well months yesterday like when he came home he like had the biggest smile on his face and he was like
Starting point is 00:05:06 I'm so glad you put the tree up because what's that like I know the first of all I also have he was like very upset the night before and I was like I love you to death I am the upset you can't like I need you to I can't I don't want you to commiserate with me on this level right now like I need you to like lift me out of the trenches and like I know this sucks um it sucks worse like this i just need that and so um there are certain things that are like i i can't i can't laugh at it like there it's some of it's too raw so he was like he came in with a smile and he was like i'm so glad you put the tree up because like it's in front of our bay window so when you drive up like at the bottom of our street very end of the road you can just see
Starting point is 00:05:54 it and he was like that's just amazing he's like the neighbors walked by and like everybody's like giving knowing looks of like yeah yeah that's it's a good time for that um but i've been adding stuff on so like i haven't like gone full like garland and everything because like right now i still have like the thanksgivingy halloweeny uh like velvet jewel toned like pumpkins that i have like on the mantle and now i've like added in some of the christmas trees and i haven't decorated the tree yet I like that transition yeah so I'm doing the transition um not because I think like it's too early for the Christmas part I think I'm just trying to prolong the joy um and give myself more things to do but we I told you about how we got a new garland over the summer like three new
Starting point is 00:06:37 ones and they look so beautiful they're like very pretty and um I'm gonna do some more crafts I think to make like more christmasy fun um stuff like that but uh we were planning on painting our living room before we put up the christmas decorations because i was like otherwise we're not going to do it until like the new year and because we're not going to paint with christmas decorations up and then i said fuck the paint i'm putting these decorations up e fucking immediately um so they look at all i'll uh send you some pictures once i take any um but i found a tv show that i want you to talk about agatha all along and then i want to bring up this tv show that i almost picked as my hot take the gorge love the nails i almost picked like talking about this
Starting point is 00:07:29 tv show as my hot take um but there are just far more pressing matters in the world and i just really want to discuss it with you so we can discuss it here but let's do it after agatha okay yeah i finished it uh yeah i started it when we talked about it it was good i think the ending i didn't need all that backstory like we could have cut half those up like the backstory for agatha and um spoiler alert wanda's kid cut their backstories in half i didn't need all that um but i did enjoy it um i hope that we get more i would prefer it not to be with the kid um and just all the other witches in death like them haunting people and stuff i want to see that and i hope we continue i really liked it i thought like it was and i'm curious like what the i don't
Starting point is 00:08:22 know if there were like if like head writers or anything was like a crossover between wandavision in this like if anyone was like the same but like without a doubt like the they were so aligned and i am really curious about like the source material and how much of it is because like with so many of these like anything marvel it's usually one story of like a massive that's what this thing's it's a lot of um of the comic books yeah combined together well because like and i was glad like i wondered if it was that because like the the theme of both of them of just being like grief and like how you deal with grief like as a woman and like you know all of these allegories of like what powers are and like all of those kinds of things i was like wow i i wonder how much of this
Starting point is 00:09:10 is like plucked from multiple different things to like have this really cohesive through line that um attaches the shows together i think in like such a great way because like one of my favorite things about um marvel stuff and things that have like very extensive source material is the fact that like the look is really important like the color scheme is going to be really different the the shooting style is going to be really different the acting style like everything is like it's very much like which powerpuff girl color character are you and then the personality that fit like it's so all-encompassing um and so then for them to be in the same world but like not the same in that way but then to have like the acting part and then the like just the aspect of
Starting point is 00:09:56 like motherhood and like grief i was like oh shit like and it didn't even click for me until obviously the end that i was like oh wow yeah i'm gonna go back and watch wandavision again and then watch watch it all the way through watch wandavision and then watch oh that's a good idea again because i'm sure there are a ton of things that i missed especially like wandavision i was constantly trying to figure out what was going on yeah um because there was a lot going on um and now knowing what it was to go back and watch it um i think that i will i loved it the first time but i think i'll love it even more the second time around yeah yeah i want to watch it again and i just want more seasons of give me more wanda vision give me more agatha all along i don't
Starting point is 00:10:47 i think that vision even though he has his own show but that's what's coming out tall olsen didn't she say tall ish didn't she say that she's done with wanda yeah she's done i mean the other two are tiny no i know but she's probably yeah six i know yeah no no um elizabeth olsen yeah i think she is done i mean granted i probably would have been to like it doesn't need there doesn't need to be more to it like it was loved it so much it was like perfect and like but i'm kind of those things watch the movies that i didn't watch any of the movies that she's in posts everything okay what most this is an audio format and i'm just sitting here okay okay i just said yeah but you implied that i might have been doing i just said okay i we
Starting point is 00:11:39 could have just left well you know actually what it might do for you because it is what it did for me um i was incredibly impressed um with with with it all i will say i was i was a little bit confused about um the dialect and the accents okay i'll just say it she started the scarlet witch what is she called before that the witch no before because it doesn't she find out she's the scarlet witch she's just wanda maximoff right yeah she's yeah okay so yeah okay i thought you meant like another name no no i was just trying to differentiate between um the eras of what movies um and so when she was like just wanda maximoff her and her brother uh whatever his name is uh-huh they had not the same accent they're supposed to be the same accent it's giving it's like it
Starting point is 00:12:39 was anna delvey like okay vaguely eastern they're from the same area so it makes sense from nowhere if they're just coming they're they're supposed to be from the same area that anna delvey is so if it's a nowhere accent then makes sense that's what i'm saying like like and it was just that and then like as each even as the movies would go along like the accent would really slip in and out like it would really change and then she very quickly over i want to say over the course of three movie appearances she said i'm dropping this accent and then by the time we start with wanda no no i'm talking about the post after the oh which one the snap i'm talking about um because she's in spider-man right yeah so she's but she's hardly oh okay yeah
Starting point is 00:13:27 i mean she's in it isn't that when she's like back at the loft and she's like i don't know because i haven't seen it no i don't know if that's one division but she's just like well you know what she like maybe i need to do this again i need to watch it too because i i actually don't remember i think that it's important whatever happens is important because she puts everything on the trajectory that the marvel verse is on now did you not watch the last avengers i did but then there's stuff that happens in i just heard there's stuff that happens in after that you know what i don't think i i think you're right i don't think i've watched it i don't think i've watched the marvel movies in sequence with wandavision in there so i don't i
Starting point is 00:14:15 think you're right i don't think i know where that lies okay in in this like the scope of it um but yeah that's a good point i should yeah that actually seems like a good because you're right it does have the lead up and i'm vaguely remembering it but like not in the context of how exactly we get to wandavision so that makes me think no it's not that it dr strange this episode is brought to you by Accenture when your advertising operations fall out of sync everything else follows Spotify and Accenture are working together to reinvent the rhythm of ad sales using automation analytics and smarter workflows to simplify campaign delivery and access better data across the business the result less time spent on operations more time connecting

Starting point is 00:15:45 wayfair every style every home that's that's the that's the that's the exposition the setup of all of it and it's actually quite good okay you'd like it yeah i think spider-man she's in it for just like a because i was trying to watch everything in order and then because i was watching everything in order then i got behind on everything else that was coming out and so whatever i can't i'm um surprised i'm off most of my soaps right now um because they are off the rails like in a completely not absolute regular way yeah days of our lives is doing a soap opera within a soap opera they are filming a soap opera stop and have people that are on the show like characters on the show quit their jobs as like a baker a
Starting point is 00:16:40 ceo of a company to go be actors on this soap that's within a soap and who's manning the cameras they have actors also manning like you see crew because like you can't that when they do those meta things i always find it so funny because i'm like it's not like in any regular tv show you'll have at least one crew member play like a role that has one line or do a line off camera because like it's easier it's cheaper and like people always want to do it's just fun but i'm like when you do a full meta in meta like then you have to cast people who i was like these are the most people we've seen on screen in a while why can't we just like repurpose this money somewhere else but yeah the head writer got fired because of all this but because of this storyline
Starting point is 00:17:34 that's now happening uh-huh but um they filmed six months in advance so it's gonna be on screen for a while um so i'll come back later general hospital they killed off an actress that has been on for like over 25 years she did not want to go it pissed people off i'm not the biggest fan of her character but i just thought it was dirty how they did it i don't like that they also um have i talked about this i think i've talked about it on this show on this show before but they have um this one character hooking up with his nephew's yeah wife no it's it's burned and that character is also fucking the guy's fucking that girl's mother too so like that's happening um they completely wrote rewrote another character um and then surprise her dad's been in town the whole
Starting point is 00:18:38 time and i'm just like and he's like a vet that's like pushing eight i think he might be 80 and i she's like why are we doing this um and she was also because now that this is her dad that means that she's been hooking up with her cousin i tell me that leo howard is not in any of this incest storyline he's on no he's on days of earth i'm talking about general hospital now um and i just there's just too much happening and i said no young and the restless bring back the devil that's days of our lives young and the restless um they had for this character's like i think it's her 30th anniversary they had her have like a complete mental breakdown and it was done so inappropriately and she kills like another legacy character i just need a break there's
Starting point is 00:19:28 too much stupid shit happening right now um so because all that's happening i have more tv time at night so um i can pick back up on my marvel watching but still are you ready to watch english teacher yet that is different i know but when you might have the time to emotionally get over really at this time you think i have the emotional capacity to get over something i don't think you have the emotion i think you might just like stop giving a fuck and then be like oh let me let me get a hee hee ha ha maybe you know like and i there's nothing wrong with that maybe so what is this other show that you want to talk about so it shows up on my for you page i think like once at first i was like this skip like what the fuck is this and then the next time i like kept
Starting point is 00:20:21 paying attention i was like this is insane and then i never saw anything of it again and i was like great they canceled that show like that that seems like a fucking parody of it it's like lonely island would be like that's too fucking weird like it it was just so fucking obscene and then it showed up again and i was like there is no way that today 2024 this show is still on the air and all of the comments were not people who are feeling like me there are people who are like earnestly and genuinely engaging with this content and it is a tv show called crime scene kitchen on fox oh i've never seen this show but you know i get pretty much the full episodes on tiktok yeah and uh the fact that this isn't just a bit for tiktok is insane to me so the summary
Starting point is 00:21:10 for anyone doesn't know a culinary guessing game in which bakers must decide what type of dessert was made when all that's left is a few clues they'll have to recreate the recipe and the jury will determine how closely it matches the missing dessert that is such a underhanded soft fucking pitch way to say what this is no no they stage crime scenes with baked goods and then they have to go in with their fucking magnifying glass like a detective and be like i see the splatter of the raspberry coulis i've pretty much watched full episodes on tiktok i know exactly what this is fucking insane and then it's like well i don't know and here's the thing it's essentially reverse reverse chopped where it's like you have these you have like the final um
Starting point is 00:21:55 reverse chopped in the sense that like chopped you have your like mystery basket of things and then you have to like make something with it this is like you know the ingredients and you're trying to figure out what it is that you're supposed to make and i would say it's more like chopped less like great british bake-off um because yes great british bake-off has a little more class to it than this um and like chopped is like make this thanksgiving themed you have one weed gummy bear a left shoe and a used tissue and some cumin there you go and it's like what the fuck how am i supposed to do this um and watching these people earnestly dip their finger into like red splatter on on a wall that looks like someone would have gotten murdered and lick it like they're a fucking
Starting point is 00:22:40 sherlock holmes character it's insanity what do you expect is hosted by joel mckell when i saw that part i said joel bring back the soup like yes please bring back the soup we need it because joel was constantly making fun of soap operas and i need that brought back because maybe they'd get in line they'd get their shit together because they would see how absurd it is yeah and you're like i'm fine with these other storylines that are fucking crazy it's a lot when i say you've gone too far uh-huh yeah so it is just um absolutely obscene and like conceptually they just didn't have to go this far like if you want to be like okay here are your mystery ingredients now make something awesome do that but to like cash in on like the true crime
Starting point is 00:23:30 baking thing what i tell you melissa the first thing that went through my head was i not not that i'm saying that they would have considered me for this but as somebody who has done baking and cooking related shows and had people approach with fully done ideas and like we've sold you with you doing this i was like thank god i've made my stance on true crime abundantly clear because the way that like this is something that would have been pitched like i just need cooking shows just to do like a little bit less like we can make it slightly less complicated we don't as a viewer we don't need like five little buttons like little all these like little gimmick like just do one just like or none yeah because they could have just
Starting point is 00:24:11 said that it's a mystery thing you didn't have to say it was true crime just mystery baking figure this out like and i i will say it does hook me like i've said i've watched and the thing is fox posts the full episodes because they know that this is like let's make more money on tiktok than you know people watching this live so they post full episodes when they hit it when you see the nervousness of the contestants of them like did i do it because all of them are making something good because they're just using the ingredients that are provided but it's they're not necessarily making the dish that is what is they're supposed to make so um i just like when they when they nail it me too and like that maybe i shouldn't say nail it that's another cooking show oh yeah
Starting point is 00:25:03 nicole byer said that's not my property the part that like i like i need you guys to take off your fucking latex black gloves i need you to stop like swirling the baking soda and like putting it on your fucking gums to be like is this cocaine like just stop like it's so fucking weird to me that like yeah like you literally because it's just this gimmick to get to the actual like you said the actual point which is mystery and then see what you make and again they're all making good things it's not like they're trying to recreate something that they know what it is and it's like a failure and like oh no it broke or whatever like it's just it's like cupcake wars in the sense like it's entertaining to watch people who are good at what they do have like
Starting point is 00:25:43 different approaches to things or whatever but like for the first like fucking half of this of the episode have to be them like tiptoeing around with like crime scene investigation tape and again like there are lots of knives always used like there's always like there's there's knives there's things to like set up like blood or like things like that and it's just it is not appetizing at all and like that's exactly what the entire fucking point of the show is so um i just like think that we can keep things separate and like true crime should never just be like a little add-on thing with this because people are like i have a pop culture podcast with a sprinkle of true crime i go that's fucking insane yeah unless your podcast is just about army hammer like that's
Starting point is 00:26:26 just insane to me to be like okay so like kim kardashian wore this and also can we talk about jeffrey dahmer and it's like no whoa no we can't we actually can't like it's too much um and i want to blame ryan murphy for this like it's just like it's it's ryan murphy and it's also um uh reminding me of my favorite murder and uh any of those like true crime and coffee like true crime and a little creme brulee like stop being so weird about it um but on a lighter semi-related note anna kendrick went on she either went on crime junkies or she went on one of those ones that like not i mean i don't know unless it's um someone who it's literally their family and they're talking
Starting point is 00:27:16 specifically about a true crime case that is about they're trying to see justice for their own family or they're that involved in it in the sense that like they are a survivor um sarah is like a great one um but uh she went on that podcast and they were like oh like we saw you like partnered up with um like organizations that like we also love to partner up with and i was like dang i bet they're hoping that wishing they hadn't said that to her because she basically was like oh yeah you know like the profiting off of true crime thing is like really icky to me and like i didn't even think about like this movie her movie uh woman of the woman of the hour one of the hour it making she didn't think about it making money like we were just trying to like finish the deadline to
Starting point is 00:27:52 get into um i think it was tiff maybe but to get into a festival so when finally like a couple weeks later and people my agents were sending me emails about like offers she was like oh never crossed my mind that like we would profit off of it like beyond just like breaking even on this movie and she was like and like you know sat there sat with it for like a split second of like would i feel good taking making money off of this and she was like no so like yeah i and they're like oh so like you donated a portion she's like no i just like donated my entire cut and they both were like oh i'm like hmm yeah these women with their like architectural digest like home tours like the moguls behind your favorite true crime podcast i'm like oh yeah well well well
Starting point is 00:28:33 and making a movie is a lot more work than a podcast and we say that as people that have done can do both yeah like it's a big fucking difference big fucking difference especially when your source material for a podcast is other people's stories other people's traumas i think it's kind of it's kind of our podcast yeah but we by the way we actually tell them to call in with their own trauma not saying hey still somebody else's yeah let me know if you've heard of a friend of a friend's trauma that i can use my whole podcast episode about and then let know if you have any hometown trauma uh-huh crazy so uh yeah i unfortunately i think i'm gonna start watching the show oh the crime i'm gonna find i'm gonna watch clips on tiktok because
Starting point is 00:29:27 i also need to know i need to know what i'm up against in the battle sense because when i pitch on a new cooking show a new baking show it's gonna be the antidote to this okay i'll be like you know what the you know what the youths want they want sandra lee semi-homemade they want aina garden they want rich wealthy woman who might be a little bit tipsy in their kitchen either making things that are unattainable but look delicious or things that just feel like like off the fucking wall stoner food that's what come on give us that yep agree hear that it's your money calling it wants a promotion elevate your savings with the scotia high interest savings account always earn high regular interest rates that grow the more you

How was your neighborhood? it oh my god it was it was up and down so when it started i was like oh well we should keep the porch light on and then i was like well maybe they can't see our decorations let's turn the porch light off and then we turn the porch light off and then we were getting ignored and i was
Starting point is 00:31:37 like we gotta turn the porch light back on yeah people think that if you don't have the light on then you don't have yeah but like people were going to our neighbor's house who like we were literally like hanging out with them like right up until the sun went down like our neighbor she came over and she was like wait so like how much candy do you have like what like you know like i'm we're like, I don't know. And they had like a friend who was going to come over and like, they were going to see their kid and their costume and then they're going to go. But they were like of the entire neighborhood. They were like, we have to get more on top of it because you guys are so much more ahead on the decorations. Like our other neighbors who are close with, they were
Starting point is 00:32:07 like, we're the last ones, the way that they were getting so many trick-or-treaters. And then I'm texting my other neighbor and I go, are you seeing how many trick-or-treaters are you? Yeah. And they put their decorations of last. And we were like, wait, I'm getting insecure. Like, should we tell them to like, send it over to like us? Our other neighbor was like, I forgot to get candy. So I'm giving the kids weird stuff and i was like what are you giving them they meant like i think they were giving um like granola bars no at first i was like are you giving them like like pencils like are you giving them like around around the house kind of stuff and like that very much is their um vibe let me see what she had said she said oh what are you giving them were there's
Starting point is 00:32:48 originals and gushers were like the ones that i was like do they have kids what no no so they just had worthers and gushers at their home yeah that is very on brand for them um and then also then they said and then the mexican lollipops with tahini and i was like honestly those are probably incredibly well um and we were like wait these why why is everybody skipping our house and um did you have your gate open we did we almost started polling like the kids who did come up and be like okay write your experience one to five how would you recommend this to a friend like what were your stipulations behind this because it felt like they were going to our other neighbor's house all of our neighborhood kids who like live right next like who we see and
Starting point is 00:33:30 we know um they came over and they did like a very cute whole family um costume uh and we were like we got your favorite candies and they were like yay and then i was like oh my god we hardly saw them they were just like in and out so quickly because we were the first one of the first houses that they did and matz and i were like literally sitting there like stewing and we're like we have to like talk because we're sitting on the we like then decided to sit on the porch to be like we're here we have candy um and i think what we had discovered was a the porch light needs to be on we need more lights leading up but it's this got our goddamn fucking neighbors who thankfully they switched out their sign but they used to have a graveyard with a dr fauci little sign on it
Starting point is 00:34:14 they went so full out i swear to god they were acting like they were they had a routine like a bit they were doing there was smoke machine like fog machines like and they're in like the like just like a flatter area and it's just like so intense that like their parents were like we'll do we'll do this stretch we're not gonna go over there and i was like oh my god like what do i have to do next time but we did also realize that the kids and they weren't like very much like a neighborhood neighborhood so the kids are also just getting older so they like were trick-or-treating a little bit later into the evening and like later into the night so we're like we have to add more lights and do all of that but also some people were like they like some like the older
Starting point is 00:34:56 kids they were like they'd yell from like the gate and be like do you have candy it's a lot of stairs and i'm like we've got candy and they're like oh okay y'all are gonna have to be the people the sit on the lawn that's what i was saying i was like maybe we sit like on like the base of the stairs for that um and also because like i think having more lights in there we have like lots of um no one like their older kids are going without their parents but like the younger kids who are going it's again neighborhood like we know everybody and so like parents are like not shut they're not like oh don't go here like it's like a long dark it's not that dark and it's like we've got light and it's not that long but like some kids are like if they're too little they're
Starting point is 00:35:33 like no this is a little dark it's a little scarier i don't want to i don't want to have to walk through this um so we might like adjust that but our neighborhood kids the ones that were like friends with salad girl salad girl family they came like a second time and they were like dressed it this year they were they're dressed as the simpsons the whole family which i would i didn't get my i like asked and jake the simpsons and i was like and macho's like oh i get it well because i have never watched the simpsons i understand that i never really watched the simpsons either but they're just so but i was seeing them separately like i wasn't seeing the whole family costume all at once were they yellow kind of but they also kind of looked like
Starting point is 00:36:14 i thought they might have been teletubbies okay yeah also yellow um one one of them yeah po tinky winky okay stop that's how tinky winky said their name well no you know what it was it looked like they look like the babies in the the teletubbie sun which is you know yellow and spiky hair so um but yes they came back again and i was like wait and moxley could not contain himself he was laughing so hard he's like i cannot believe you like just did this but so they're all of these kids were coming up like much later in the night so like it got popping and we were like whoa whoa and then mott's like at one point he was like i
Starting point is 00:36:59 thought i saw more kids he was going to get pickup dinner he's like i thought i saw more kids i brought another bag of candy and i was like no we're fine go get the dinner he just wanted candy yeah he wanted the nerds um and so the big group of people have like come up and like we're handing them candy and our neighbors kids are like they had just walked up to for a second time because they were like finishing theirs there um and i was like oh i'm so glad you guys came back like i didn't give you enough last time and then i'm looking at the bowl and i go wait just hold back i'll give you i'll give i'll give you i'll give you guys the good candy and so i'm handing other kids the candy we have here and i go let's go get them the other kids i'm handing the existing candy in the
Starting point is 00:37:35 bowl to are like looking at me like and i like whispered among i was like yeah i was like we got we got we got the ring pops and those caramel apples for you and they're like oh and then someone else like turns around and i was like i mean i'm not real the caramel lollipops like and i'm like that was the most blatant favoritism of like hey you you neighbor kids that we know hold back we're gonna get you the good candy you fucking losers i'll give you what's in here and they like came back and i'm like a handy and they're like love it thank you and their mom was dying laughing everybody was like that was so and i it didn't even cross my mind but i was like oh yeah i guess you're not supposed to do that in front of kids to be like in front no not in front
Starting point is 00:38:11 of them being like truly the most blatant favoritism and i wanted to look at these other kids who are like giving me this a gas look and i'm like i don't know you i don't know you i don't these are my homies these are my this is this is my street this is my community this is my like i don't i don't know you like of course i'm playing favorites but i was like maybe it's good that our nephew doesn't trick-or-treat at all because i could see him just being like can i understand at all yeah and that's fine exactly it was also it was slow in my neighborhood too i heard that surprising to me in general on i looked on reddit and like everyone in la was saying it was like oddly slow yeah i don't know why um i the first trick-or-treater i had was a
Starting point is 00:38:55 woman with her nine-month-old and i was like you are a scammer your child cannot eat candy and i was like whatever here's your fucking piece of candy and then the second ones that i had the second group i had were like these two little girls and one of the girls had a baby yoda but it had nothing to do with her costume and she was like just a baby yoda and i said okay and then she was like can baby yoda have a piece i said no like stop trying to scam me lane scam okay like no does baby yoda count in the carpool lane i just left and closed the door that's so funny and closed the door and then it was and then you know and i had full size piece of candy so it's not like i was like giving candy bars i'm giving full bars of candy it's not like i'm skimping
Starting point is 00:39:46 you're trying to scam with your fucking baby yoda get away um and then like people were just kind of trickling in did order we didn't end up doing the pumpkins because forgot everybody forgot um that's fair and that's fair and we were like that's your traumatized hayride or yes ordered barbecue from um uh your place no a new place yes from um it's called uh hold on they have a really cool name ribs against the machine oh yeah yeah yeah yeah it was so good oh really the coleslaw too vinegary but everything else is fire i can usually work with the like a two vinegary coleslaw i'm fine with the vent like i love coleslaw on my sandwich so it was good on the sandwich it was too much too much as a side yeah um and it was like we're like this is a new tradition

Starting point is 00:49:32 like no thank you no it's just there's too many cars it's like living on a freeway yeah and like a seven million dollar home um but uh yeah so like there i always think about like oh what neighborhoods are the ones that you like go or the streets where you go and you like drive there you park and you trick-or-treat all the way there and like i remember like ours as a kid like we had our neighbor like our neighborhood was it would be crazy for halloween like just in general um but then at the next town over there's this long long dead end street or whatever called sleepy hollow and that's like the neighborhood and i was like oh maybe that's why they got so into it because like the legend of sleepy hall or whatever yeah but like of course they you'd get full king-size
Starting point is 00:50:13 candy bars and like my friend jake used to treat it like disneyland fast pass like where he would be like i have our game plan and he would be running between the houses and would be like we're gonna skip this one and i'm like okay like he was so intense about it but like macho's like saying um about and i asked him i was like was there anything like weird that you got like did anyone ever give you like soda and he was like no it was always just candy and it was one of i have all those these realizations all the time about like wow i lived in such a bubble and such like a not only does everyone know everyone you know everyone's parents and everyone's grandparents like everyone is like it's it's so old like you just know it all i'm like oh they would give like
Starting point is 00:50:51 school supplies cookies baked goods popcorn no you can't give open things homemade good like any of that stuff there used to be like you would walk into homes that they would have full haunted like haunted houses but also just like one guy was an artist and he would do this um like prisma glasses when you would put on those like 3d glass he would do like a whole like show whatever and it would just be like kids walking through this older single man's home and like it wasn't creepy or anything yeah it's but like i was like oh wow yeah it was never even like a let me check your candy for razor blades it's like parent they would also like give like wine and beer to the parents or like edibles and like have a hit of a joint and i was like that's so different than
Starting point is 00:51:35 most places i've now realized like you do not i mean i would never give baked goods and i also would not eat baked goods from someone i didn't know um but like i just realized like oh that is very different circumstance um the worst house to go to would be the dentist's house because they would give away toothbrushes and floss and toothpaste and i'm like one you got this you got this for free so you're not even giving any effort to this and then two like i love brushing my teeth oh i love dental care but like read the room and like i would die if you gave i would like love if you gave me some floss along with a piece of candy yeah like if you make it so like here's some laffy taffy uh-huh so i'm gonna give you floss because they go together like peanut butter
Starting point is 00:52:32 and jelly like that would just be so much better um but yeah i just i always think of like the people who like they would give like pencils or like erasers i'm like or or bobbing for apples was that a thing you did no that was another thing we did because i thought it was it was no it is disgusting it happened i just refused to participate yeah but like why was i it wasn't something we were doing like a random neighbor's house no there were homes where they would have it set up to do it but i refuse and i don't think my parents would have let me do it anyway no and as they shouldn't because like that's fucking nasty yeah um and i was like i so disagree with you this week barbara i know why are you fighting so hard for apples and i get you're like stuck in
Starting point is 00:53:24 your ways but this is disgusting and your makeup i was waiting for the continuity on that and i was like there's no way she's gonna just go around for the rest of the episode with it and she didn't it was i was like this we've cleaned it up we've touched it up um but yeah it was just i like i'm trying to think of all these other things and then also by the way the literal day after halloween those neighbors with their fog machine and the fucking like adult woman who was like floating the human like this is not a prop and she like had her whole like shtick whatever and they had like a haunted grave all of these things whatever 10 a.m the next morning all of it was gone i was like i respect that damn damn you guys like that was it was fucking speedy and now i'm like
Starting point is 00:54:05 our other our neighbors that were closest with we were like okay we can't let this happen again like we we can't let them show us up like this we have to be better yeah i am the only one with with christmas decorations up so far yet though okay it's gonna turn into the thing where you try to top each other like they're gonna start putting stuff out and then you'll be like oh we gotta add this yeah we'll get those uh inflatables nutcrackers oh no the nutcrackers that's the thing though that like we have such very different um tastes that i'm mostly just like judging when the parents only take their kids there and i go only there but like look how classy and tasteful mine is like come on they're like they're children they're like they don't care about classy and
Starting point is 00:54:54 tasteful and i'm like but all the parents who come they go this looks so nice and i'm like thank you thank you oh but then our neighbors who like all the kids were going there they had they're playing music and they switched from like monster mash to the frozen soundtrack and i was like i see what you guys are doing sneaky but they're like they're about to have a baby um and i was like oh they're they're getting that that practice in which was sweet and now i'm like i cannot fucking wait for them to have their baby and i'm like oh my god a baby trick-or-treating at our house yeah but tell them not going to scam people with their nine-month-old no but we'll give them candy they're also just neighbors so we'd give them candy anyway that just pissed me off you know
Starting point is 00:55:31 that's right was she by herself yeah she was just carrying the baby here's her and the baby i am all what was that no is that your mail no it sounded like somebody was tapping on the door yeah i'm terrified right now do you have your amazon um show huh look at the amazon show is that what it's called but also my alarm should be on so if someone were to come on come inside then yeah but i mean i think it'll give you a peace of mind to just see that i didn't like that like it was like this so i'm guessing like you probably like it's not closed all the way which i can see so it's the wind yes the fucking insane yeah the alarm's on so yeah you're fine um but what i was going to say is that like i'm not um
Starting point is 00:56:32 there i haven't did just leave too what i said the mailman did just leave too oh maybe it was him putting something in the like whatever and then like the gust of wind happened at the same time and so when that little flap was open yeah um but like so it's impossible for me to not talk to children just like adults like i just talked to like i talked i talked to everybody the same know talk to people I don't know like we're friends to people like I just that's what I do and so ever since our nephew was little like I just would like narrate life to him like I'd be okay let's go over here and what are we doing here whatever but like the idea of like me going trick-or-treating and like with a with a nine-month-old who cannot respond and talk
Starting point is 00:57:18 I'm just giving myself a podcast episode that I am like performing with this child like that child but no way would I would be asking other people for candy I was like no that's i i'm not pretending that this is like that my kid is aware of what's happening like no like it's our dance parties that we used it when we had dance parties when he was a baby those were for me you know i was having fun but you're not including it other people no i wasn't like having other people participate in my delusion because i'm like i get it if it's like you've got other people there and like oh let me take a picture like we're sure like you have no one to just be like oh my god how crazy was that right the baby can respond you're using the fucking baby
Starting point is 00:58:01 to get candy yeah what was the baby dressed up like a pumpkin i didn't even and it wasn't a pumpkin i wasn't even looking that hard so she pissed me off yeah was she wearing a costume no no i i really love when the parents do costumes too at least give me some effort you literally just getting candy yeah part of me feels like she was just walking by and was like oh they're lights on let me go use this baby to get some candy she said my blood sugar is a little if someone knocked on my door on halloween and was like hey sorry like i'm hypoglycemic can i i'd be like of course of course the delivery people that came with the food i asked them if they want anything but it's just the fact that you were trying to scam you premeditated yes your
Starting point is 00:58:53 baby and also i know you say you don't remember the costume i'm trying to think there wasn't even a costume there might not have been you know i can actually go back on my ring and look oh my god yeah let's see what that was did you um did you have your ring on for people when they came at first and then towards the end when we went back inside but we were sitting there the reason i'm saying is because like i changed the voice so it was a witch when you rang it it changed it because you can do that and so it was like a witch thing when they rang the door oh that's cute i know our other neighbors they have um they there's like a like a target doorbell that would be like you just and it would be like oh like some like trick-or-treat themed one that
Starting point is 00:59:31 yeah yeah exactly um also people are asking if that was me i was like no but thank you for thinking that i could do that numerous people they thought you were like coming over no that i recorded it okay i was like dang live vocals that's like you're committed to the bit um i also heard it's like australia is really trying to make halloween happen for them um and i saw it all over reddit of like people like buying candy making this is what happened i was obviously very insecure when we weren't getting trick-or-treaters at first and i was like just looking so was i because it was packed the last the last two Halloween's have been packed this is year three and i was like where is everybody because even before the because it they would
Starting point is 01:00:24 come in groups too because it'd be like when the sun was just going down it was like the little little kids and so and then when like the sun was down it was like um elementary school and then when it was like eight nine it was the high school students and so i was you know expecting that and i was just like where are they no we and we were like we can't be too eager we look fucking insane being like we have children we have candy for you like come up to our home and i like kept telling i was like i feel like this you're you're you're fucking this up for me like i need you because he wanted to wear his costume which was he had a work halloween thing and he found a cowboy hat in the office and he literally was like he probably just looked like what he when you guys go to
