I'm sure those were his words. And he goes, can I be your friend? I said, absolutely. Oh my god. And that's how it became. I can't get a serious conversation out of Joe for anything. It's it goes right to like whatever Did he want to bring an apple martini over so you guys can have cocktails together? Is that what he wanted to do?

No, the Apple martinis Joe were such a thing back in the day everywhere I went I ordered an apple martini And you know what? I think I'm gonna order one My god should we tell the funniest Martini. And you know what? I think I'm gonna order one. You're hung out with some loser guy that you went. Oh my god. Should we tell the funniest thing? Well, we're not gonna mention any names because you guys we had the funniest thing happened to us the other day. It was like crazy. We we went out to dinner, we were meeting some friends at this new like restaurant that just opened nearby that everybody's talking about, that's so great,

yada, yada, yada. So we went to dinner there, we met some friends, our friends were taking a minute to get there. So Joe and I were like having a cocktail first and the owners came up to us like, hey guys, I'm so happy you guys came in. How do you like the place? Like this one guy who-

He looked at me and he goes, man, you're a stud. He gets very good looking guy. Wait, that part is made up and false. That's oh my God. Joe, can we give them a real story? Keep going. Jesus. So the one, you know, one of the owners was talking to us happy we came in.

So he looks at me and he's like, you know, you know, you were at my wedding. And I was like, I was. And he's like, yeah, you can now I never saw this guy before in my life. I have no idea who he is. So he was like, you were at my wedding and I was like, I was and he's like, yeah, I'm like, come on. He's like, yeah, I actually you used to date a guy and he mentioned his name, which this guy I was not like a loser. I tell the story this guy was not one of like my ex-boyfriends I wouldn't call him that it was someone like I dated maybe a couple

times like for a short amount of time like nothing too serious so he's like you have been to my you came to my wedding and I was like I've never seen this guy before in my life like I don't even know who he is I I was like, what? I was at your wedding. And in all fairness, now obviously I'm on TV. So it's like, he must remember the face and be like, oh my God, that's Melissa Gorgon. She was at my wedding. So I guess I dated his friend for a short time.

Once he mentioned his friend's name, he said, you came with so and so you were his date. He's like, he was a friend of mine at the time. And I was like, oh my God, really? I'm like, oh my God, I can't even remember going to a wedding with him, but like, that's so crazy. Mind you, I was probably at the time 20, maybe 21, I would say, because I met Joe at 24.

So I'm probably 21 years old, which is like, you know, two years older than my daughter is right now, by the way. So he was like, yeah, which is like, you know, two years older than my daughter is right now, by the way. So he was like, yeah, he's like, you know, he's like, I'm so sorry, I don't remember even going. I'm like, but that's crazy. That's cool. And he's like, yeah, he's like, but you know what happened? I was like, what? He's like, my friend, who was my date at the time, he's like, he never gave me a card. He never gave me a gift for the time. He's like, he never gave me a card. He never gave me a gift for the wedding. And I'm like, Oh God, it's all you got to say in front of Joe Gorgia. Joe's like, loser. Oh my God. What a fuck are you dating? Showed up didn't even give a girl and the

guy calls him up and says, Listen, you forgot that there was no car. Yeah. Tell the story. No, we didn't say you forgot. He goes, Listen, he goes, you know, I even called him up because I guess they're no longer friends, these two guys, by the way. And so he goes, I called him up a week after my wedding. And I said, Hey, I just want you to know, like, I never received a card from you. I just want to make sure it didn't get like, stolen by the venue or yada yada. And he said, the guy that I was dating said at the time,

well, don't I have like a year to give you a gift? Like I just didn't get it to you yet. A year? The guy says a year! I mean, what the fuck is going on? No wonder why when she met me, she was like, Gaga, she didn't know what to do. She wanted to move in immediately. She she was like, I love this man. He's handsome He's gorgeous. He's got the money. He's a businessman. Wait, I'm like guys I'm out to dinner. I'm having a little Cosmo I'm like, this is the story that I'm getting told right now in front of Joe Gorgia He's probably like he's dying. I have not stopped hearing about remember, you could be with that guy you dated went to a wedding with that doesn't even give a card. I mean, guys, to all my listeners out there, have you ever dated someone that you

don't even like, like mentioning anymore? Or like someone that was in your past and like, or do you I'm sure you guys your husband's teach tease you about like someone that was in your past and like, or I'm sure you guys, your husbands tease you about like someone you used to date. Joe loves- Did he ever take you out to dinner? Was that like, what did he take you? I think we've been out to- Like McDonald's?

Did you go to McDonald's? Like did he ever like- I actually love- Did he sit there and not pay the bill? Like what did he do take you for a slice of pizza? We're like, what did you guys do? I'm curious. You're so annoying.

Not like really, did he take you to the movies back then? Like did what? Yes. And by the way, I sneak you in, did he buy the ticket and he snuck you in? Like what really happened? No, I like McDonald's by the way, and I love dipping McDonald's and honey fries and honey, just so you know. But no, I think he did take me. I would never date someone who was like a like a loser. So I don a like a loser so I don't know what happened I don't I don't know what happened I felt so bad I looked at the guy I was like you know that's not to do with me like I didn't even know who you were he's like I know I know he's like he's like I'm just he's like it's a funny story now because I'm like Melissa Gorga was at my wedding like a car then

did he have a car do you remember yeah car was a bicycle he had he had a car? Do you remember if it was a car or was a bicycle? He had a car. He had a car. Chill, Joe. I'm sure I can rag on your exes if I really wanted to, but I won't go there. Hey, my exes are nice. And this was not an ex. This was more of like a dating situation. So you're just mad I dated anyone in life. I feel like you would love that if I never dated anyone, like that would make you happy but I'm sure you were so happy to hear that you know the guy was not the best gifter. That was so funny and I'm

never gonna let you let you live that down I'm not I'm not that's like the fourth story I heard like that guys you dated. No you don't even know any of my exes do you like any of them you don't even know any of my exes. Do you like any of them? You don't even know any of them. I know of them. Yes. Okay. Well, don't say anything bad. I'm not. I'm not saying nothing. You know, so it is what it is. Just all men would just rag on their wives exes if they could. They would find things wrong with them. Right? Like blow me a kiss right now. That's what you should do. You should say how, you know, i just hope the next time i go out to dinner somebody comes up to our table and tells us a funny story about joe and his ex

that's what i hope i was like how is this happening right now some classy hot women yeah everybody wanted oh yeah okay they're hot you know but speaking about mcdonald's you, because I just brought up McDonald's. What's this, you know, this president thing, you know, this debate, I've never, I don't know if I'm just You mean the election, the whole election. Yeah. I'm just focused on it's like the housewives of presidency, man. It's like crazy. What's happening? The election watching them like, and you're watching all of like the back and forth and like they're pulling receipts it's like a reunion like to watch a

Presidential debate and just watch like no matter what party you're voting for. This is not about that This is just about like and obviously this goes on every time there's an election year, right? Yeah, it's like it's about like no ripping the person, getting everything they've ever done in their past, finding anything they've ever said wrong. I mean, Andy Cohen should host all the debates because he's so well, like he knows better than anyone how to handle, like I don't know how Andy hasn't, like Anderson Cooper is his best friend

and I think he'd probably be more qualified for the position. But Andy really could do that because like he it's no different than a freaking housewives situation the way they pull receipts and it's like you know I think he'd be the best moderator to be honest. But is it is it is it more in depth because of TikTok and Instagram and social media? Is that what it is? Because, you know, I don't remember it growing up. I don't remember this. I don't remember.

But now I know there was commercials and they would rip the other person always. Yes. Don't vote for this one. This one took this money and he did this with it. Whatever. You know, but this is crazy. Yeah. These are the president. They're going to be the president of the United States. Well, one of them is. One of them crazy. Yeah. These are the president, they're gonna be the president of the United States. Well, one of them is, one of them is, yes. Yeah, one.

They're not gonna be the president. There's gonna be a president. President, that's what I said. Yes. Yeah, but it is crazy, guys. It is crazy to watch. And before you know it, we're gonna know who our president is in the next what?

Three weeks, maybe? So guess what, guys, I registered Gino to vote I was so excited to do that and he's only 17 so do you know you can register your child to vote at 17 but I don't think he can actually vote till he's 18 right which I was confused I'm like why is am I able to register him to vote but any which way guys they do do, they better lower gas prices, gas prices. I'm a pirate. Joe hates paying the gas. $3.99 a gallon and going to the store and I don't even buy anything. I come out with a bag. It's $350. I'm like, say again. Oh, I know. I heard California is close to $5 a gallon. That is insane. Like you just can't live anymore i know you can't live it's

insane it's like having two wives what the gas in your wife yeah i feel like i got another wife you know that's all these women do they spend money spend spend why that's like having double wives no it's just it's expensive i know it. It's expensive right now to live out there. What is the most expensive thing out there you think? Is it groceries? Groceries are expensive. Many materials up left and right in development and construction.

That's insane. I mean, interest rates are through the roof. You can't even buy a house. And if you go buy a house for these poor people and these new people trying to buy a house, how do new home buyers do it today? It's really, it's- Well, they're the only ones that are actually

getting a decent interest rate, to be honest, right? Why? I don't know. Isn't that how it goes, first time buyer? No, it's so, everything's so high. It's crazy. And then whatever's on the market, it's so expensive because there's not a lot of things on the market it's so expensive because there's

not a lot of things on the market because no one's selling because they can't sell because then they can't buy they can't sell because then they can't buy well whatever guys whoever you're voting for we're going to find out very soon so just make sure to get out there and vote because everybody's vote matters this election so get out there vote and that's what we'll say about that. And maybe in four more years, Andy Cohen will be moderating the panel. You know, this is great. You never know.

Let's discuss something we all care about what's on your feet. And no, I'm not talking about those super cute but actually torture chamber shoes. I'm talking about G to five shoes, the shoes your feet have literally been begging for.

Have you really showed? Oh wait let's answer this. A lot of people say, oh wait, you know what we just put up yesterday?

Just yesterday on social guys, we put up frying pasta. So when you have leftover pasta, this is Joe's thing. He loves to fry. Did your mother used to do this Joe? Where did you get this from? Yeah, my mother, it was the best. And then, you know, I just, because you posted it, right? Now I'm getting it on my feed,

some other people making it. So I see it, but they don't make it like now I'm getting it on my feed some other people making it so I see it but they don't make it like me they don't make it like me because I make it with this crust this crunchy thing that you know it's called burnt it's called not burnt you burn it a little bit it's called crust well it's a little taste of burnt this is crunchy he likes it burnt see some people say like you're burning it but nobody nobody realized like we like it. Well done. We like it burn Don't you say it's burnt your your meat like meatloaf might burn up there. So don't say it's about to burn Let's say we like it crispy. We like it crispy.

Whoever's listening to this, you know, shoot some requests and we'll make it we'll make it tell us what you want. We'll show you our style how we make it. You grew up with so much food and I used to have your parents over once. So I used to have Joe's parents over one time during the week when the kids were little, every single week,

and they would teach me one dinner and I would learn how to make one thing each, right? Yeah, amazing. And make you the scurril and beans. Oh yeah, I haven't made that in a while. You know, my father used to eat so much polenta when I was younger, cornmeal. I was like, oh my God, my, again, polenta.

My father would yell. He goes, hey, hey, one day you're going to pay a lot of money for that in a restaurant when you get older. And what I do, the first thing anybody that has polenta, I order it. And I do spend like $25. Yeah. And you get this little amount, we fight over it. Yeah, for like, you know, 50 cents of cornmeal.

I love polenta, it's so good. I miss those days though, right? When your parents, they will never taste the food, like, you know, we're cooking, we're trying to do the best we can, but like, it doesn't taste like theirs. Not exactly, just something's slightly different. People enjoy your parents out there,

even if sometimes they're a pain in the ass, just don't worry, enjoy them, spend time with them, because when they even if sometimes they're a pain in the ass, just don't worry. Enjoy them, spend time with them because when they're gone, they're gone. Call them, pick up the phone. Sometimes I don't call my mother enough, I swear. And I'm like, my God, I have to call Donna Marco. I have to call Donna Marco.

And like, guys, for real, just pick up the phone and call them sometimes. I know your lives are so busy. For some reason, I feel like we're all so much busier than we used to be or distracted. We're all busier than we used to be. It was a different world. Everybody shut down early back then. It was just different. Everybody hung out more. Yeah, like we're going right now guys. We're recording this podcast. It's almost eight o'clock at night. We got up 5-36 o'clock this morning. We have gone all day, worked all day and my dinner is literally in the oven while I'm multitasking and recording this podcast. And like my brain won't shut off until

what? By time we eat 10, 30, 11 o'clock at night and then we just start all over. I'll go to the gym tomorrow morning. It's just crazy. Life is crazy. I feel like we need that's why Joe and I are, you know, right, babe, we're big on vacations, because it's the only time like we work hard, play hard. It's the only time we legit spend a week and unplug like you need to unplug sometimes. And truthfully, that's the only time I can get you to unplug at all. And even me, like when I get on the couch tonight, we'll say we're gonna watch a movie or a show or unless it's monsters. It's emails and non-stop.

It's very hard for me to pay attention unless it's monsters. Dimes, dimes, that's all I hear her say. Dimes, dimes, dimes, shut up. Flame it on the rain. Yeah, yeah. She's in a shower. Did you hear me blast in the other song?

Money talks, money talks money talks dirty cash i want you dirty cash i need you whoa i can't stop singing it guys i'm obsessed when are we gonna find out if these boys are gonna get released they're not boys definitely getting released you think so 100 it's gonna happen i'm really curious Imagine being in prison 35 years. Oh my god. Wait I have to call Joey and tell him to take them. It's burning. The meatloaf is definitely burning. That's insane. What are they gonna come out to? I wonder do they still have all their money? No that's a good question. Where did the money money go like the parents money? Wasn't it left? Isn't it their money? Like where is he? Hi Joey? It's mommy Can you take that can you take the

meatloaf out of the Oven for me, please with two with those two things on your hands and just put it on top I'm gonna hand it don't worry about a man. Stop it because it's gonna burn Just grab the pen Wait put the two things on your hand take it out and just put it on top of the stove Okay, put the two things on you. What do you think? He's gonna grab it with it's a hot pan Bear hi. Thank you, honey. I mean she stopped baby in my kids. Joe man. Yeah, it's a hot pan. He's just going to grab it with his bare hands. All right. Thank you, honey. I mean, stop babying my kids. You're men.

You got to make them men. Joe, it's a hot pan. Nobody grabs it without meds. Do you? Sure I do. You sound ridiculous. Oh my God. 20 years later, I'm plugged in.

Speaking of unplugging, 84% of cell phone users claim that they could not go a single day without their device. Not one single day without their device. I know just from talking to people at NBC about doing traders, the fact that I cannot have a cell phone in my hand or any communication for three weeks, I just simply can't, my brain is not at the point of life that I could handle that right now. I'm more worried about like if we do it, you know, I can't have sex for three weeks. Like what the fuck am I gonna do? That's what you think about.

How about not being able to talk to me, see me, know where I am, what I'm doing or vice versa. Like that's insanity. That's insanity. That's what the people on Traders do. They put their phone down, and guess what? They're allowed to have like a 30 minute conversation, and it's all like someone's watching them have the conversation.

So like they have to have the conversation. Supervised. That's like a vacation three weeks without your wife. One of the, this guy I do business with, his wife, her mother's real sick, They have to have the conversation supervised. That's like a vacation three weeks without your wife. This guy I do business with, his wife, her mother's real sick so she had to go to Florida and she was gone for a month. So he was taking care of the kids. The kids are a little older but he was taking care of the kids.

And then the wife was coming home so he's like, ah fuck. I go, what happened? He goes, my wife just got home. Fuck, I go, what do you mean oh fuck, you haven't seen her in a month?, ah, fuck. I go, what happened? He goes, my wife just got home. What do you mean, oh fuck, you haven't seen her in a month? He goes, yeah. And then the next day he called me up, he goes, my God. It was so nice without her for a month. You know, I'm talking about cell phone detachment

and on plugin. This guy's talking about how nice it would be without his wife for a month. Just so you know, if you were to do, if you were, you would not be able also, you can't leave the room, you can't do anything. So whatever, but let's get back to unplugging because we're totally going off on a tangent here. I mean, I don't know. 84% of cell phone users claiming they can't go a single day without their device. That's pretty crazy and 60%

67% of cell phone owners check their phone for messages alerts calls even when they don't notice their phones ringing or vibrating They just go in and check it. I mean that's insane It's it's it's a natural thing now. That's what it you know, that's what you do. It's our part of our lives It's you know, it's That's what you do. It's part of our lives. It's the same. It's taken over our world, to be honest. I can't remember life without it. I want to remember life without it.

I want to remember... It's why everything in my algorithm, a lot of my algorithm on Instagram is 80s, and it reminds me of TGIF, the shows we used to watch, the TV dinners, the little, you know, rainbow bright trays that you put in front of you, the Walkman, the big stereo systems. Like we used to put our cassette in our stereo and hit record on the radio to get the good songs. The boom boxes. The boom, like we didn't just stare at a phone all day. We played outside.

I played manhunt. Manhunt, manhunt. Manhunt, right? And I sat on the big green box, which was the electrical box. And like all our girls, I collected acorns. Like what, this time of year,

you gotta collect the acorns. It's just crazy that we don't do, like our kids don't have any of that. None of that. It's over. I mean, I don't even know how they would do any of this anyway. Our kids go to school at 7.30 in the morning and literally get home at 630 at night from

football practice. So it's like they barely have time to do anything besides football, eat dinner and go to bed also, right? It's like pretty insane.

You know what sucks is that things change, right? We were going for 12 years, 15 years throwing these Halloween parties and now for the past two years we haven't done it. You know, we're slacking. I know. Why haven't we done? No, I'll tell you when we haven't done it. Since we've moved. So we did it all the time in our other house and since we got to this house we have not thrown it yet. Is there a reason do I not wanna wreck this house? Like why, so guys, if you know it's a good going thing that I throw the best Halloween party,

my friends and my family really do look for it. Every year I get text messages. I can show you seven right now from seven different people like what's up, where's the Halloween party, including the bartender that bartends for me every year of the holiday because she has just as much fun bartending. She's like, not again. Are we not doing it? Danielle Cabral from the housewives actually texted

me today. She's like, Am I gonna get an invite to like the epic Halloween party and I feel bad. Like telling everyone Yeah, I'm just not doing it and I think it's just because we've been so busy and crazy but like I've always been busy but this last two years I feel like we're a little bit crazier or busier do you agree like why am I not doing it Joe because you never do it I do it so why am I not planning it? No but I'm the one who gets in there and says this is happening and I call all the people. You're getting lazy.

You're getting lazy. What? You're getting lazy. You gotta do it. You did not just say that. Keep doing it. How about instead of saying you're getting lazy, Melissa, you're working harder than you ever have

and you're taking on so much. You wanted to work, right? You fought me on national TV. You're like, shut up. I wanna work. That's right. You try to shut up. I want to work. That's right You try to talk about you talk about some crumbs Do I want to be what? Now you're complaining now you complain

I'm a woman hear me roar. I never complain if it wasn't for you. I have those Halloween parties I do it really then why didn't you plan it? Did you call the food trucks? decor bartenders liquor companies call everybody in like literally Literally one hour two hours to be done. Well Halloween's this weekend, bro. You better pick it up a notch Okay, you guys want to have a bet. It's like next weekend actually you want to have a bet I guarantee I could set it up we can can, but I'm not doing it.

It's not happening here. I'm not ready. Group text, right? Put it up. Group text. All right. Call the food truck guy. Are you available?

No. Okay, hold on. Call. No. I got one more. Yeah, I'm available. All right, done. Here we go next.

Okay. So we're not having it this year, but the truth is... I call a bunch of kids in the neighborhood and I haven't come scary. I set up this whole little traps outside when you pull up to your house, people come out with chainsaws. You don't even know where they're coming from. Yeah, we did that. The last Halloween party we had was epic.

And when people would walk, we have a really long, long driveway at our old house. And we're like, there's all woods surrounding our house. So as our guests would walk up the driveway, first of all, our Halloween decor was always insane. surrounding our house. So as our guests would walk up the driveway, first of all, our Halloween decor was always insane and it was like spooky music and smoke machines. And as they would walk up our driveway,

we hired the kids from the neighborhood to walk with, like with chainsaw noise without the actual chain was not on it, but they would turn them on and go running with a mask at our guests and they would literally have panic attacks walking up our driveway to get to the party. It was great. Our parties were like the doctors, you know, to put together doctors. Their wives would go and they're having a good time.

I'm going around and giving everybody shots and the wives like, all right, I want one. I want one. Yeah. Our doctor friends, our plastic surgeon friends would come and the wife would be like he never lets loose like this This is so amazing Okay within an hour later, he's like I have one of those and then throughout the night everybody's shot It's wild it's definitely wild we throw a great party because that's the reason guys that I'm not

wild. We throw a great party because that's the reason guys that I'm not throwing the party because unless I'm all in I don't do mediocre. I don't do it mediocre. Like my brain has to be in it needs to be all there and I just was too busy this year. The bottom line is if I wasn't as busy as I was the last two months, I would have done it. You know, I want to you know, we could throw one a week later. It doesn't matter. No, thanks. It kills the vibe First of all, it goes from Halloween to Christmas in this house like legit my house is all decorated right now for Halloween

There's light lit up little like autumn trees. There's pumpkins. There's pumpkins galore. It's so cute Joe tell how cute everything Is any crazy how the holidays just turn around in like two seconds? Like it's literally Halloween. We're gonna blink our eyes, guys. It's Thanksgiving, Christmas. We're going Christmas shopping very soon.

Like it's just crazy. First of all, this time of year is my absolute favorite. Is it yours? If you had to pick, is it Christmas? If is it fall, what's your favorite, Joe? Well, Christmas, I love Christmas. I think I? What's your favorite, Joe? Well, Christmas. I love Christmas. I think I love.

I like fall, but I love this kind of weather. This is great weather. I think that everyone. I hate the cold. I hate the cold. I do too. And for my business, it's not good. Well, I would say my favorite time of year,

like if I go by the months, I think people would think in Jersey our favorite time of year would be like Like summer, right? It's not though. I love starts for me in October October November December my favorite it was when I feel the happiest. What about you? Me? Yeah, happy every day. Once I wake up in the morning and I got life and I got freedom I got everything baby. Yeah, every day is my birthday and you're right next to me. Shit, I'm so happy looking at you. Fuck everything else. It could snow every day.

It could rain. It could have forest fires outside but as long as I'm looking at you, I'm happy as hell. He's schmoozing me for some reason, I don't know. Well back to Halloween quickly. If we were gonna dress up this year, which we're not, which we're not which we're such Losers this year. I loved when we were Barbie and Ken by the way, that was one of my favorites

It's like that guy you were dating. The Italian Ben, shut up the Italian Ken and Barbie, what would you want to dress up as this year? If you had it if you if I if I told you to pick a costume, what would you be? I would be... No, for real. Think about it. What would you want to be?

Me? I don't know. I mean, I would probably be... What are you going to be? I don't know. I think I'd have to... I didn't even think because you know me. I got to put a lot of time into it.

I don't know, but should we tell them what Joey's gonna be? How about that? I like to be like maybe what? Well, so last year Gino and all of his friends were these skeletons and guys the skeletons have a boner So like they're in full costume of a skeleton and then there's a boner They pull a little string and the thing goes out like a boner. It's such like a boy costume. And now this year, Joey's like, mom, me and my friends are being the skeleton boner costume. So Joey went and took it from Gino's room.

At least I didn't have to buy him a new costume. And he's like, now it's his turn to walk around with the boner skeleton. I think it's so inappropriate and so ridiculous, but that's what the boys are being. That's what my, that's what, Oh, I know what Gino is being. I don't know. He made me order him in like an NBA Jersey.

So I don't know what he's doing. He's doing something. You know what it could be? If really, and we should be serious about this. Like if you were a penis and I was a vagina and you were able to bang me once in a while, like when we would run around the party. What? Yeah.

I'm the penis, you're the vagina? Oh my God. Oh my God, I can't. Well, do you want to hear the top 10? I would do that. I would. Of course you would. I would.

Of course you would. You would want to be something like sexy and hot, you know. I would like stick a big penis on you. Girls look for an excuse to be like little horror outfits. That's what girls do. They're like, oh my God, I get to dress like a whore. It's Halloween. What was the scariest movie you ever saw?

To this day, there was two that used to make me jump out of my skin, but there's one that my hair would stand up on my arms. Like no matter, to this day, I think if he popped on the screen, I'm scared. I'm scared.'m scared poltergeist the the old man in poltergeist when he would put the hat on the black hat and he'd be like carolyn come to the light carolyn we should watch follow me carolyn follow me Oh my the reverend Jesus Joe. I just got the chills. I just got the choice Yeah, like for real like I would I couldn't sleep in my bed at night So I was like 15 years old because of the reverend from from poltergeist like he scared the shit out of me and Freddy Krueger

Did too and I think now I'm gonna tell you what no Freddy was also like things that aren't fake scare me Those guys are real. That's why they don't scare me. It was like a real man. You want to know what really got me? And everything that I really really was the exorcist. No, see, that's not scary. That shit's fake. original exorcist with the head spinach with a girl when they you know, oh, that was scary. It was scary. It can't lie about that.

She's like, And you know, oh, that was scary. It was scary. It can't lie about that. She's like, I still remember that movie. Yeah. That was scary. Now if I probably. I mean, that didn't scare me as much because it seemed fake.

Like that man, old man could have been walking on the street anywhere. And he's like, he just looked at you with those eyes like, Carolyn, Carolyn. I'm like, whoa, shit is scary.
