Hello and welcome back to the podcast. We are, I would say, alive and well, but I don't know if that's true. We at least have voices, though, this episode, so the job can be done. We're kind of back on schedule, but also we're recording on Halloween, which is so wild that we're recording on Halloween, but it's not necessarily like a Halloween episode. Like all of our bats are gone. I know. It's kind of like a violation of everything we stand for, to be honest. It really is. But we've done all the Halloween things already.

Yeah. Except at the end, we are still going to read spooky stories because we didn't get to finish them all. And I found two good ones. So we had to. That will be our stories for the week. Also on Patreon this week, kind of keeping it spooky. This is true. We're going to go through and rate celebrity Halloween costumes.

And with a lot of them, I actually found some more information, kind of more podcast material. So it's going to be kind of like a second episode. Heck yeah, it is. So yeah yeah join the patreon bonus content for that but we had our halloween party and for whatever reason which evan says we do this every year but we went like way too extreme and we do that every so many fireball shots were taken for no reason um actually i never take shots too i think that's like just a known fact and when i grabbed like the one fire

i only took one but like that was enough for me um and when i grabbed your idea and it was which was nuts and that's the reason I did a fireball shot but I think you did more than me no I only did one I pretended to do another one I was faking some shots by the end of the night it was probably the best for you it really was not that it helped at all because you still ended up being on yeah I was pretty unwell but honestly so many people were vomiting by the end of the night and like I don't know if that's a sign of a successful party who's to say really but i was kind of happy about it yeah because i was like dude well our friends never get like that anymore we were acting like we were freshly 21 again i know like the saddest thing actually was is like there are other things

that came up as possibilities for this weekend to do instead of a Halloween party. We when when it came to this Halloween party, we were on the phone one day and at this party had like 12 different versions of what the party could be, ultimately to land on almost exactly what we do every single year. I know. Well, okay, so we're getting to the point where I was like, are we too old to just, like, hang out at the house? Which, no, you're never too old to do that. But, like, I was thinking we should do an activity. So I tried to plan sophisticated activities, and, like, it all just fell to shit. I was like, let's go to a wine tasting.

Nobody, by the way, like, nobody else was in on this except us. Yeah, none. Any of our friends that are currently listening are like, what do you mean? Like there was maybe not going to be a costume Halloween party. The saddest thing was, as I said to you, I was like, I feel like we have to do this and we have to do it the down and dirty old way because after this year, like there is a potential that people are going to be getting pregnant in our friend group having children yes and like are we going to want to act that feral anymore I just

highly doubt it I think it's a no too but with our friend you just never really know what way it's going to go but like also our friends have never had kids before so like it's really like the unknown here's my thing I feel like at the beginning of having kids like nobody's gonna hang out anymore and then I feel that once the kids are like five and they're okay to not completely have to take care of like like I mean you still have to but like you know what I'm saying once they're like old enough to like go in like the kids like area and like hang out and like play amongst themselves then you think we'll like go in like the kids like area and like hang out and like play amongst themselves then you think we'll like go through another phase of getting like a little bit feral i do hear

i've been told by people that like you know you go through like your surgence of like when you're like 21 and young sometimes people go pretty crazy they go pretty hard when they drink and then things start to mellow out when people are like getting engaged getting married getting houses and then once you hit 30 like you get another like burst of life and another like burst of let's go hard like let's take shots i think because our friends haven't i don't know if it's going to be true anymore like at the beginning of 30s. I feel like mid-30s will go through that. Mid-30s is going to be our time.

Yeah, because now everyone's kind of getting married later and having kids later. That's true. COVID really threw a wrench. I feel like a lot of our friends would already be married if it wasn't for COVID. Possibly. Like that took some time away from us. Yeah, kind of possibly but we were i feel that this halloween party was good enough for me if it needs to last a few years yeah like if that's like our last taste

of like a garage halloween party yeah i was fine with that i mean everyone everyone went hard in there everyone's costumes went hard dude well we did the Scooby-Doo thing and everybody that came in didn't say hi to me for a while because nobody knew that it was me. You startled me when I walked into the house because I got there. I think I was the first one there, me and Brian. Normal. But I opened the door into the house and I looked to my left and I I knew you would be somewhere within the home but I was like it was a jump scare seeing you because like I knew it was you but didn't think it was you because the wig looked so real well that was the consensus that I heard so like you obviously had a wig on too but yours was like red and it wasn't as realistic I guess but like

people genuinely thought, one, people didn't realize it was me because they thought it was real hair. But then two, even when people did realize it was me, somebody literally thought I cut and dyed my hair just for the thing. Stop it, who thought that? And I was like, no, but that would have been a slay. That would have been total commitment.

I mean, I could have seen you doing that. Yeah, that makes sense. Cause like it was pretty obvious that my like orange wig was like not real hair I tried my hardest though like I put so much dry shampoo in it I cut the bangs I even I didn't even tell you this like I tried to like root the wig so like I took like dark eyeshadow and I rooted it I didn't do all that I just threw mine on but I did end up having to cut the bangs. And I made a TikTok video being like, I don't understand how people have bangs for real because all night I just couldn't stop touching them. Same. I also have to say like, I genuinely thought my hairline receded one inch by the end of the night because of how tight the

thing was on my head. And I was like serious props to people who wear wigs because I also think I just had too much hair underneath it yeah but like yeah it was so uncomfortable the whole time um I really committed to the bit and I think a lot of our friends did which is the fun thing about doing Halloween as you get older because I feel that the older we get the more we commit we try we do for our costumes shocked that we everyone that was in the scooby-doo crew if you will we all really committed and wore wigs and like actually what the characters would wear and that's not like me my mom said point blank she was like i would have put money on that you were not going to wear that wig and you were just going to wear your hair um okay well can we be honest though? You tried to cop

out at the last minute and text me. Are you wearing the wig? Because if not, I'm not. No, I thought you were going to cop out of wearing the wig. Why would I? I was committed the whole time. You called me three times about that damn red wig. I did. I did. Well, you were recording your TikTok. I can't do this. I was very nervous about it, but, and we ended up

keeping them on like most of the night. Yeah. It was crazy. It kind of flew by, but I think that's what always happens, especially when you host parties was very nervous about it but and we ended up keeping them on like most of the night yeah it was crazy it kind of flew by but I think that's what always happens especially when you host parties um it just kind of flew by but I was I was just saddest I was like sitting inside like an old lady at the end of the night just at the kitchen counter and like a couple people were still there and I was just like listening to the sounds of everyone vomiting and I was like success um yeah but that was our weekend we did the tarot readings too which I feel really added just like an element of something cool to talk about I highly recommend doing something like that or even just some kind of thing that everyone can talk about because we

genuinely everybody was coming out of there and it was like we were running up to them like what how was it how was it good was it accurate and everybody loved it like we had people come out and be like that was life-changing that was a revelation for me yes and I was like it's saying how accurate it was everyone was like you were right that was so accurate the things that she was saying to me and I got set because I didn't end up doing another one because so many people wanted to do it people were a little nervous at first like I don't want to be first but then like after like two people and everyone's like I want to go like people were like racing each other to the door

and it's like I can't stand in the way of somebody else getting a reading today no I genuinely wanted to go again but I already told Brandy I'm like me Evan and Stevie didn't get to go and I'm like we will come another time because we didn't want to like take it away from right people other other party goers um party but definitely highly recommend it was a very good talking point and like therapeutic everybody came out just like I needed that yeah I'm like good for you um made me happy but what was kind of crazy is I looked this up before this episode I just wanted to see what the top Halloween costume was this year yeah partly because before Halloween happened everyone was like people are gonna be Barbie people are gonna be Barbie and I really didn't see a single Barbie there was none at our party and I've seen a million TikToks that were

saying I expected to see so many Barbies because everyone on TikTok was discussing how it would be cute to be like hi Barbie hi Barbie just didn't yeah it it we thought it was gonna happen but because everyone thought everyone was gonna do do it, no one did it. Yeah. So I'm kind of thinking next year's thinking is going to be the opposite. Everyone's going to be like, what's the most basic thing we can be? Let's be that because no one's going to be that. And then everyone's going to be it. I feel like, no, I honestly think there's going to be more Barbies next year because I feel like a lot of people wanted to be Barbie this year, but didn't do it because they thought everyone else was going to do it.

I heard that there was a lot of Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz this year. Really? I've seen there was like a top list and a lot of them were basic ones like bunnies, like things that we always see. But then there was like the witch from Wicked, Glinda. Yeah. Was a popular one. And then it did say that from Party City, Barbie was the number one selling costume still.

So wild. But I believe that because I think the percentage of people who did it wanted to be different, and Party City sold the box where you were like in the box of Barbie. I did see somebody in a box. Yeah. Instead of the cowgirl one or the ones from the movie this year. Right.

So I think people wanted to be like, oh, if I'm going to do it, I'm going to do it differently. So they bought that costume. That's cute. But yeah, overall, it was a fun week. It was a fun Halloween, but it did kind of feel like it lasted a while this year which I've never said before um usually I want it to last longer I don't know if it was just because of the internet but um yeah it was a lot this year I mean I have said this maybe not to you but I've definitely said it in pockets I feel like this year I'm going to be more of a holiday, a Christmas girly than I was a fall Halloween girly.

You're not the only one. I'm almost more excited about it. You're not the only one. For some reason, that is the consensus on. Do you feel that in your soul? I'm just getting that vibe from everybody. And I don't know what it is, but what I will say is I was not thrilled that literally the day after our Halloween party, it got so cold so quick. Unbearably cold.

Yeah, it was unbearable. And I was like, if this is a sign for anything that's to come, I'm not interested. It's got to warm up again. It's got to warm up again. No, I'm sure it will. And that's why also you can kind of tell, like, even my voice is kind of coming and going still right now. Because it was 78 degrees on Friday, and now it's Tuesday, and it's 30. When we were setting up the Halloween party, we were outside.

Literally, it was so beautiful. Beautiful weather. The sun was shining. It was like 60. I'm like, this is perfect. By the next day, it was 40. I'm like, that's good. See, that's how fall should be, 60 degrees.

Yeah, well, I feel like fall flew by but Halloween lasted forever so I don't know how that adds up but we've got to get to the Detroit Lions are back baby. Our favorite thing to talk about. We won the game. Hell yeah we did. Which was technically yesterday and it was because, again, when we don't watch together, we text about it. And the first thing that we say to each other is, why is Taylor Lautner there? Which obviously is from Michigan, but like still so random. Yeah. And then also Jack Harlow is there, but we figure it out. Yes, that I was like, I cannot put my finger on why he would be here.

When I like literally Googled them, like, why is Jack Harlow at the game? Like if he's not allowed to like football. Right. So apparently the Detroit Lions announced that Jack Harlow will be the halftime performer during the 84th annual Thanksgiving Day Classic, which is November 23rd at 1230 p.m. where the Lions will play the Packers.

Exciting. Where the Lions will beat the Packers. Exactly. Let's clarifyers. Exciting. Where the Lions will beat the Packers. Exactly. Let's clarify that. Clarification. I knew some people that went to the game. They were saying today that they made the announcement first, like, oh, for the Thanksgiving game,

Jack Harlow will be performing. But not everyone knew that he was there. And then they panned to him at the game. And everyone was like, what? It went nuts. They were fake. Yeah, they were like oh that's that's nice he'll be there for another game not the game we're at and then he was at the game they're like oh yeah i still like couldn't figure out exactly who were there and then i was like why weren't we there but then like because we were still hung over yeah could be but i say also, I think our third thing we said was I like their outfit.

Yeah, we did like their outfits. The gray was cool. It's so funny because I think now that more women are getting involved in the NFL, it's just that's probably a topic of conversation. It's gotta be. And it at least is for us. Oh, yeah. Always. And it's just funny, too. I like their outfits, not their uniforms. Their outfits. At least I didn't call it a costume. I saw some stand up on TikTok and it was this girl and she's actually very famous. And I can't think of her name, but she's a comedian and she was doing stand up. And she's like, I like to think that football players are just all best friends and they

just like to hang out and wear matching outfits and play together oh that's cute I was like dude that's us talking I like their outfits um but I thought this was interesting so the Detroit Pistons also had their season season opener I forgot that that was happening that was on our list of activities that we could have done I know um which I'm kind of sad we didn't because they won their game too. Did they? Yes, against Chicago Bulls. That's kind of sad.

And that's our two like favorite cities. So could have saw it. But anyways, I thought it was interesting. So they actually had some Lions players go to their game and like showed them on the Jumbotron and stuff. That's so cute. Which I just love. Like, let's all support each other.

The collaboration, the camaraderie, the crossovers. Yeah, but it was the Lions general manager, Brad Holmes. And apparently he's friends with the general manager for the Pistons and like has invited him to come to their trainings and stuff. And also the Lions red receiver was there but yeah it was just kind of cool to see like the teams are going to each other's stuff and rooting for each other that's so cute and hopefully the pistons keep it up and stay on the same winning streak as the lions so detroit sports making a comeback i heard the red wings are

supposed to be good this year, too. Really? That's what I heard, too. Yeah, I heard that. Let's go. Detroit's killing it. It was so funny, too, because when we were watching the game, we texted each other. We're like, oh, my God. There was a girl in the stands who pulled the Jamar Gibbs into the stands.

She did? It was his first touchdown at home. So that's why he freaked out so much and was like, oh my gosh. But the way that she pulled him up, like, I'm sorry. Do you know how heavy that man is? That man's probably 250 pounds at least. Yeah. Like that is crazy.

She just pulled him up with ease. I know it was incredible. And what was crazy was when I was watching it, I needed a replay of that. I'm like, I don't want to see a replay of the touchdown right now. I want to see a replay of that woman lifting him into the stands because it was so high. I couldn't believe that he was like fully in the stands and not just like sitting along the fence. But, you know, I know. Well, I just thought it was crazy because crazy because you know they say when you have adrenaline

like anything's possible women have like lifted cars off their babies and stuff yeah this girl was must have been adrenaline through the moon you just like picked them up like it was nothing like a little child game there was it was such a good game to i think it was a good game to watch no it was it was it was a lot of fun um but yeah it was i actually game to watch. No, it was. It was a lot of fun. But yeah, I actually looked at tickets for this game Sunday. Did you? You were going to go? I thought about it.

And I was going to surprise Evan and be like, I got us tickets. Let's go. Because we didn't really have plans for Monday night. I don't know. It's about to be Halloween, too. So I was like, let's go. But no, the cheapest ticket was like $300. Except, you know what?

Ford Field is doing this. The standing room. And I don't know how it's working. So I don't think it is. So I looked this up and I literally didn't understand because you can buy for $139, which is still kind of an absurd amount. Still kind of pricey, yeah. You don't get a seat and you're expected to stand the whole time. And I'm like, who the hell can stand through a whole football game?

Which I guess like the players and the coaches do it. Yeah, but like imagine just standing there the whole time and i'm like who the hell can stand through a whole football game which i guess like the players and the coaches do it yeah but like imagine just standing there the whole time i one of my friends went to the standing room only and i think she got there early because i think there are some seats like near the front of it like i think there's like high top tables yeah so i don't know how that works maybe we'll have to find out yeah i guess i don't know i want to go to another game i went to the home opener and i mean like don't want to go to another game i went to the home opener and i mean like that's great to go to just one game but i'm like i really want to see one more yeah i agree well maybe you can go see jack farley perform um but okay so this is random but let's get into this because i don't know if you saw but there was a little controversy on

tiktok where this man went to new york and he was at a bagel shop, which New York is pretty well known for their bagels. Yes. So he goes to a bagel shop. He's from L.A. So he asks for them to scoop his bagel. What does that mean? So what is a scoop of a bagel? I'm glad you don't know.

And I feel like it's very this is normal to not know. But it's very L.A. to know. So basically the bagel place told them, like, get the fuck out. Oh, it was, like, derogatory? No, but, like, it's offensive to, like, a bagel store owner. But they work so hard on this. Do you want them to throw half of it out?

So basically, you scoop out the fluffy part. The fluffy part. Yes, that's literally crumb. Wait, no, I'm offended, too. That's a crime. They wanted like a skinny bagel? Yes, a skinny bagel. Oh, get the fuck.

I tell them to get the fuck out of there, too. Go to wherever and get one of the thin bagels from the store. You don't deserve a real bagel. So it got to the point people were so pissed. He posted a video explaining the situation, and everyone was not on his side, which I think he thought people were going to he posted a video explaining the situation and everyone was not on his side which i think he thought people were gonna be on his side sometimes i love when that happens on tiktok someone posts something they're like oh i thought i ate and and then everyone is like no you're wrong well this guy didn't eat because he literally couldn't get the bagel

um they were like get out so it got to the point, though, somebody, and I believe this is true, it got to the point, somebody messaged him and said, I will buy you a first-class plane ticket, an Uber ride, and give you AirPods if you get the fuck out of my city. He took it. He took it. Wait. Wait a damn minute.

Somebody was willing to spend their money on that? They wanted him to leave New York that badly. And he took it? Yeah. And he was like, I don't care, man. I took the flight. I'll be back. I'll be back?

Yeah. Well, they don't want him back. Yeah. I can't believe somebody... He did interviews about it, it too because it was such a big controversy that you know like random online places reached out to him and he was like i was just trying to do something for my health which is like it's fine like do that at home then don't ask the store to do it i don't know but i feel like it is a very la thing maybe

yeah i feel like they're very health conscious in la but like not new york no and in new york you're eating the bagel you're eating i don't know what else i don't go to or new york that often i want to go pizza i want to like give it a try in my adult life i haven't really been in my adult life i've i did but we were like in and out it was yeah i went on a trip for work there once and in and, but I think it'd be fun. But I was kind of thinking, have you ever like, have you ever been to a restaurant with somebody or been the person at a restaurant that asks for something like super absurd? I would like to think that none of my requests are super absurd, but probably not. I feel like any of my requests are like, can I add chicken to the Caesar salad?

Yeah, I guess. Or like, do you have French fries? Yeah, I haven't really made requests, but I used to do weird. Are you kidding me? We're not. You are a chicken tenders and fries. That's not that picky. Child, and that is picky.

I mean, that's like a different kind of picky. I'm not like saying, can I get this meal with all these substitutes and blah, blah, all the time i don't want tomato i don't want tomato i don't want lettuce i don't want onions i mean i feel like those are all fair ass that's not like i don't think that's like absurd but i also have never like worked in a restaurant yeah so you don't know how annoying it is um well i used to be super annoying and i would bring don't say you used to be super annoying and I would bring. You don't say? You used to be super annoying? Yeah. Once upon a time, I obviously changed.

Um, I used to bring Buffalo Wild Wings mild sauce with me to restaurants to like dip my food in. Why? Um, why? Yeah, for what? Just because you loved it that much? Like if I, like it was kind of when I was being healthier, but obviously B-Dub's mild sauce is not, like, healthy. What did you dip in it?

Because what I would do is. Other chicken tenders? No, I would get, like, grilled chicken. Oh. And to make it more delicious, I would bring my own mild sauce. Yeah. But then, like, one time I got caught, and it's a health code violation. Oh, it is.

You can't bring in food, like, outside food into a restaurant. So they were like, ma'am, you can't have that and i was like okay so i literally put it like in my purse and i was like dipping my food in my purse um so that was pretty absurd um but yeah i used to do that also when i was like vegan slash vegetarian i was like vegetarian for nine months but then like at the end i was like i'm gonna be vegan and that's what really set me like that's what I did it all yeah because I would go to restaurants and be like this can't have this oil it can't have this it can't have this and like the waiters especially I think around

us would just like look at me like okay lady for sure yeah but like they were not gonna do it so I was just like I just just give it all up. But yeah, so that didn't last very long. But I tried my best. Again, it was like a health thing. Yeah. It's like trying to be health conscious. But that didn't last. So let's get some more food problems because there was more drama on TikTok.

Are you on Keith Lee TikTok? No, I have no idea who Keith Lee is. I don't know what type of TikTok I am on, but. Okay. I love this because I just found out today actually. So I've been on Keith Lee TikTok. He's like a food critic and he'll go to different restaurants. He tries to go to like small businesses and he reviews their food and normally he gets to go orders and he doesn't tell the restaurants that it's him because he's like got a huge platform yeah so he'll try to get a to-go order so they

don't know it's him and he will review the food in his car and that's like what he's known for wait is he the guy that was just in michigan he's from detroit he's from here yes and i was so excited to find that out so basically like yeah he was from Detroit he he's the same age as us too by the way which always blows my mind when people are so much older than me in my head like he's like a whole family and like he seems so mature and then I just found out he graduated high school the same year as us and I was like dang good for him yeah like he's really got it figured out yeah um but yeah so he's from Detroit and he came back to Michigan recently and like reviewed some food but he's been going around the country with his family that's so fun revealing food and it literally

changes some of these businesses like lives oh yeah I could see it completely changing the trajectory of any restaurant there there's businesses on there that literally were like about to close down and he goes and then like stop it i could cry that's really really really nice very good person but um so he does this and he's been doing this and so his last stop was atlanta and so he went to atlanta and he the first place he was like trying to try he gets in the first place he was like trying to try, he gets in the car and he was like, basically doesn't have food. And he's like, I can't read it because I didn't get any food. And he was very nice about it. He's like, don't trash this

business. But they have like a lot of rules that they like are only open certain days of the week. They're only open for certain hours. They like randomly randomly closed they don't do to-go orders they don't take reservations like a bunch of crazy rules that they follow and it started coming out that a lot of businesses in Atlanta do have those kinds of rules and this is like the I got the list of rules from this restaurant so it is like an extensive list there's a bunch of rules to about list yes there's a bunch of rules to about like no um no parties of five or more like wait so many the first rule for those of you who maybe can't see this says we guarantee the food is great. Everything else is left to chance. We tried our hardest, though. We really do.

Yeah. What? So basically, that was kind of, so he gets in the car and he's like, I would rate this food, but I didn't get any food because they only were going to serve him after they realized it was him. And he was like, I don't do that. Good for him. Like, sorry.

And so he ended up trying other places in Atlanta and everybody was just, the whole rhetoric on TikTok was like, this business has got to be punching the air right now, whatever. But Cardi B chimed in because she was like, yeah, that's how a lot of the restaurants in Atlanta are. Like, I literally have to name drop to get to go food or they won't do it. We have to say my name in order to get food. And she's like, it just seems like they don't really care about like the customer service or the customer experience. I saw another video,

not about like food like this, but that like a lot of people in the service industry that are just starting out are like starting to have extensive amounts of rules. Like when you're going to, I don't know, get your nails done that like you have to be here by X time, which of course you should already be time if you're one minute late i'm not providing service and you have to pay this much don't park here you have to specifically park in this spot these everything i'm saying sounds pretty reasonable but like the list goes on and

on and on of like little things like don't bring in water don't bring your own snacks like but also don't ask for food yeah feels like airbnb rules yes yes yes like almost like that like you're renting this house but like don't use anything don't touch anything don't look at anything like yeah i remember specifically we've talked so much about Airbnb but it's like don't use this towel or like don't yeah like it's just crazy stuff especially with like food stuff I don't know I guess it's like a common thing there so like now everyone was like leave it to Keith Lee to fix the whole food industry in Atlanta um and so yeah I guess he ended up getting like good food there though in the end um but just not from that place um and so yeah i guess he ended up getting like good food there though in the end um but just not from that place um and i guess like the restaurant had to come out and apologize but um that's just

crazy to me how many rules they have yeah it literally will i'll just go through some of them real quick um they guarantee great food everything else is left to chance no individual checks but they will split it up to three cards 18 gratuity added to parties of five or more or checks larger than 75 which seems absurd um no modifications to any menu items if you have a food allergy please choose another item without the allergen which kind of doesn't make sense because in most restaurants, when you cook something on the same grill, like that person can't control what you cook there. So if you can't say, hey, I'm allergic to this, there's no guarantee that that food is actually going to be without the allergen.

Rule number five, be nice. Six, no reservations unless you're Barack Obama. There's exceptions to every rule. No table hibernation. 90 minute max. Others need to eat too. That I feel like was a huge thing during like after COVID. Yeah, it was.

Kind of like not anymore. Yeah, I feel like that's simmered out a little bit. If we prepare your item to our menu specifications, we will not remove the item from your bill. Our entrees are not samples things so i'm assuming with this they just mean like you can't be like i didn't like this or whatever like if you get something doesn't matter like you got it it's done um no parties larger than four on days that end and why so any day of the week no parties larger than four i feel like they're trying to be really funny with this list and yeah that's what people

were saying but it's really just coming across like super passive aggressive we have no waiting area inside um naps in your car are fine so basically if you're like waiting for a table you can't wait inside you have to like leave to wait dude i just this list gives me kind of a lot of anxiety like some of it's like kind of like reasonable and like like be nice like obviously like no reservations that that's fine a lot of restaurants i feel like we go to don't take reservations but if i saw this list of rules like at the front of a restaurant like it would just give me so much anxiety that like they're judging me as a customer and I just feel like the smallest thing is gonna set them off I would not want to eat there yeah well that

was kind of the the general consensus it kind of blew my mind is like I understand like even I feel around us a lot of restaurants or not a lot but some restaurants will like close for a couple hours during the day and then reopen for dinner um like stuff like that is totally understandable but then like I don't know even the like no takeout thing I know this wasn't on this list but apparently that's what they were saying is they like don't do takeout or like that's my thing they have hidden rules that aren't even or they'll like randomly close on doordash even though they're open um but that is one thing i can't understand because i feel like near us even restaurants with like no reservation no this no that they thrive with doordash and

take out because they would just rather do that than have customers inside and it's like the opposite i don't know. Interesting. I don't get it. Interesting thing. But I definitely, I thought this was so interesting. There's still so much drama about it like online now. Oh, I'm sure. But.

I'm sure it'll come up on my TikTok now. Because we're talking about it. Yeah, my phone's right here. Keith Lee on TikTok. Keith Lee TikTok. That's crazy. We'll test it out. Okay, so more stuff going on right now.

This was wild because Five Nights at Freddy's came out on October 27th. And I saw the commercial for this when I was seeing something else in theaters. And I was like, hmm, that looks kind of interesting. It's basically, it's based on a video game. And the premise is, it's almost like Evil Chuck E. Cheese. It's like animatronics. Oh, it's almost like uh evil chucky cheese it's like animatronics movie yeah like animatronics in the place are actually evil and kill people i saw a commercial about that and so in the video game basically you're the employee of the place and at night you have to like try to use security cameras and different things to catch the animatronics that are evil uh-huh um and so they made this movie based off of that that's so fun

and it looked interesting but it's rated pg-13 so it didn't look too scary um so it's like i don't know if i want to see it it's not like totally scary but it's not almost like a stupid scary is kind of how it sounds like it could be yeah but i guess it has like a cult following and it broke so many records i was looking at these records and i was i was like the same movie for this freddy five night thing yes so apparently domestically it was the highest gross grossing weekend for Bloom House, surpassing 2018's Halloween, which is nuts. It was the 19th Bloom House film to open in first place at the domestic box office. Biggest opening weekend of the year for a horror film.

Second largest debut of all time for a video game adaptation behind Super Mario Bros. Tied for best opening weekend for a day and date streaming release with Disney's 2021 Marvel Adventure Black Widow. Biggest opening weekend ever for a Universal and Peacock hybrid release. Highest grossing opening weekend for Halloween weekend release. Outperforming 2011 puss in boots third biggest debut for any horror film best debut ever for a pg-13 horror film that was just mind-blowing to me also i think because i had just seen a tiktok of people being like oh we walked out of that movie like it was so bad but i think it's because if you don't

if you're not part of like the video game you don't world of it like you don't under like appreciate the adaptation of it video games have big cult followings like the e-gaming space is nuts yes so i guess it did very well and i was kind kind of intrigued. And I'm like, should I go see this now? I kind of want to go see it. I mean, I'm like, maybe that's what we do. Maybe we should do that. We're talking about doing something after the podcast. Should we do that tonight? Should we go to the movies?

Isn't it like $5 movie night too? Probably. We never do fun things like this so spontaneously. It is pretty spontaneous. We'll get back to y'all if we actually go to the movies. Like, I'll be impressed. Same. More movie news, though.

So I just saw this. Beetlejuice 2, starring Michael Keaton and Jenna Ortega, is going to hit the theaters in 2024, which I'm very excited about. I say woo, but Beetlejuice scared the shit out of me when I saw it. Dude, I loved Beetlejuice. the shit out of me when I saw it dude I loved Beetlejuice it gave me it made me feel and I don't know if anyone can relate to this it made me feel very claustrophobic when I was watching it and there's a few movies that make me feel claustrophobic and

I feel like there's probably some kind of like something syndrome some term yeah some term of like what that means because I also feel claustrophobic when I watch um Charlie and the Chocolate Factory like the original one always made me feel claustrophobic when I watch Charlie and the Chocolate Factory like the original one always made me feel claustrophobic like there was no way out of the space that they were in and I also felt like that like watching Alice in Wonderland and I love Alice in Wonderland but I feel claustrophobic watching it because I feel like there's no way out of where they are and there's gotta be something deeper of like because in every situation like beetlejuice he's stuck in that world yeah in alice in wonderland she's stuck in the world charlie and chocolate factory they're stuck i just feel like there's no way out of the

charlie and the chocolate factory place and it freaks me out that's interesting i always really liked it um and something about it is so nostalgic for me which is crazy because I don't even think I watched it that many times but there's so many iconic scenes and it is very happy to I'm happy that they're remaking it as well with they're keeping Michael Keaton in it and um Winona Ryder is still going to be Lydia so yeah so they just added like additional cast members. So like Jenna Ortega is going to be Winona Ryder's Lydia's child in the movie. Oh, cute. But I kind of wanted I was like, what are some some juicy facts about Beetlejuice? Because it's been so long that they recorded. It's kind of like, what were they up to? What was Tim Burton up to during that time so the studio originally wanted to call

Beetlejuice house ghosts and as a joke Tim Burton suggested the name scared sheetless but they actually consider naming it that and he was horrified he was like no no we are not doing that it was just a joke it was just a joke um the movie's box office success created plans for a sequel a long time ago, and they were going to make it Beetlejuice Goes Hawaiian. Interesting. Which is like so random. Very interesting. But Tim Burton decided he didn't want to go that route and abandon the whole project,

so that leads us to today, the beetlejuice 2 um in the original movie michael keaton ad-libbed 90 of his lines that's incredible which is like absolutely wild to think about um tim burton feared the deo sequence wouldn't go over well you know when they're all around the table and like yeah yep and they get like possessed by the song yeah um this is what was absolutely wild to me though the first dvd mailed out by netflix in april 1998 was beetlejuice so i was like what does that even mean i did not know this but to this year, until September of this year, Netflix was launched as a DVD mailing service. You didn't know that? No. Yes.

And so over the last 25 years, they've shipped more than 5 billion DVDs with Beetle just being the first one that they ever sent out. That was how they started. And then they became a streaming service. It didn't stop until literally september of this year it was like kind of like blockbuster but like it was just mailed to your house instead of having to go to blockbuster because carly's family used to use that and that's how i knew what netflix was she'd be like oh we got this on netflix or through netflix it's so wild to think about i did did not know that. I mean, I knew people used to do like the like Blockbuster. There's that like the Redbox.

Yes, Redbox machine where you can go and like rent movies. But I didn't realize and I also didn't realize that people were still doing it to this day. It literally stopped in September. And actually they Netflix said for their last shipment of DVDs, like everybody could keep their last DVD. Oh, like everybody could keep their last DVD oh that's cute yeah so it was September 29th of this year that they stopped it but it was kind of cool that Beetlejuice was the first one that they sent out yeah I wouldn't have guessed that of all the movies yeah I know dang but I'm excited for it to come out um but yeah that's kind of it's kind

of like spooky um it is a little spooky there was some spookiness this week's episode and let's let's with that being said let's get into the last spooky stories of the season make sure start submitting back your shady stories so we can get back to those next week um but let me get into shady story number one this happened to my mom but I was involved in a spooky way when I was little my parents took us to Mexico during winter break we stayed at my dad's mom's house and we always had one night there where all my aunts and uncles would share their personal spooky stories and some involved the home we were staying at me and my older brother loved hearing them but it always ended up with us running up the stairs and immediately hiding under the covers

until we fell asleep because we were so scared. One of those trips, we had gone to visit my mom's side of the story. I don't know that this is totally related to what happens later, but I don't know. It kind of seems like it to me. Anyways, I ended up breaking this baby Jesus that was passed down generations, so I cried the whole time out of guilt. I remember exactly what I was wearing till this day. It was a red and black plaid suit set with a blazer and a cute skirt. Anyways, we get back to where we're staying at. At some point, my dad and mom got into a huge fight, so she ends up going to bed, and we stayed playing with my cousins while my dad continued to party. Eventually, it was getting super late, and it was time to go to bed. I wanted to stay the night at

my cousins so I go tell my mom who's half awake at that time that I'm staying over there and she says okay. My cousins lived a couple blocks away and even though it's like three in the morning we were walking there I know super safe so she tells me to make sure to put some sweats on before I go because it's cold. I leave and stay the night. The next morning I go back and my mom's not there, but my uncle proceeds to tell me that my mom was freaking out in the morning because she couldn't find me. So I tell him I told her I was staying the night and he says, I know that's what I told her, but she said that you came back hours later and she let you in the room and scolded

you because you didn't put the sweats on like she told you to and you didn't say anything but got in the bed with her. She says you curled up next to her and you were freezing so she put your legs in between hers to warm you up and you went to sleep. When she woke up you were gone and thought you had came downstairs already. That's when I told her you'd stayed the night at your cousin's and then she tells me this story. She couldn't believe it so she called my aunt's house and confirmed it. I had stayed the night, and I was still there wearing my sweats all nice and warm. They didn't tell me anything that morning as we ate breakfast together because they didn't want to scare me, but my uncle apparently didn't care, so he told me as soon as I got there.

I don't know how that happened, as I'm alive and not a ghost. It was just the beginning of spooky experiences in that home what that's so alarming and like I can picture the scene in my head because I feel like in so many scary movies when you like roll over and like the thing just like comes behind them and like holds them no no no no no and that was like what I pictured in my head. This is 10 out of 10. Very terrifying. And like, who the hell was that? Oh, spooky, spooky, spooky.

Yeah, I don't like it. I don't like it one bit. Yeah. Oh, I'm sure there is plenty. If that's just the beginning of spooky experiences, I am terrified to know the rest. But Nox here, bring it back. Come back around with them. Absolutely.

Shady or no spooky. Spooky story number two. My bad, everyone. I had my cousins over to watch the first Saw movie. After the movie was over, two of my cousins, Blair and Shay, slept on the couch, and my other cousin, Kate, slept in my room with me. About an hour after going to sleep, I hear Shay saying my name and I asked if everything was okay. She said, can you please tell your dog to stop licking my feet?

I said, I don't have a dog. Shay let out a big scream and I thought she was just trying to scare me because of the movie. That was until we saw a man get up off the floor and run into my mom's room. We all started screaming to wake my mom up by the time she woke up. He had exited the back door. The following morning, we saw his muddy footprints at the back door. So we knew it actually happened. Years later, I saw a post about a man that would lick people's toes and he was called the Toe Suck Fairy. Could have been him.

We will never know. You're joking. But also, OK, my first thought was like, how did Shane not know that they had like didn't have a dog? That was kind of weird. But the fact that this was a man in their home is disgusting. Well, I feel like when you're like half asleep and like shit like that's going down, like you don't even realize what's happening. Stop.

Could be a dog. Yeah. Could be something. And then it's like a fucking guy. I hate that so much. That's so violating and so wrong in so many ways. That is genuinely like, I can't even, you can't even make that shit up. That's another 10 out of 10.

I would not want to be. You don't want to be sucked by the toe suck fairy? No, I don't wish that upon my worst enemy. Who named him that? Like, I'm sorry, but that is so, that's not even like a clever name. I wish that upon nobody in life. That's disgusting. Yeah, that's, I'm sorry that happened to you.

That's crazy. 10 out of 10 for me as well. So bad. But that concludes our spooky-ish episode for this week. We'll see you guys on the bonus content, getting into some of these Halloween costumes and some more tea. And we will see you guys next week. Bye, everyone.

Bye.
