Bile Spray is fucking great, dude. That rules. Anyway. Bile Spray.

Bile Spray, gosh. Damn. Anyway, let us know, what's your- That is so evocative. Simpsons Halloween name. Yeah, I didn't really, I didn't think too much about it, but that just came to mind. Sorry. I know. Well, that's why you're the best in the business man best coming up with puns that no

one asked for thank you very much i i demand the people demand them miles um i gotta enter one of those punning competitions yeah you'd be good at that yeah well yeah um speaking of what the people demand yeah the white house celebrated their halloween with uh books and coughing some bile spray uh from from joe biden hopefully not full bile spray that he coughed once oh my god he's dying he's dying i get it we all get it but like let's let's everyone fucking coughs. Yeah. There's a lot more. I think it's the sign that his organs are working.

At this stage, I want evidence that everything's... It's like when you have to show that you can poop before you leave the hospital because they just want to make sure all your parts work. To quote my friend Ryan, who once bragged to a girl, what's the matter sure all your parts work. To quote my friend Ryan, who once bragged to a girl with matter,

all my parts work. In relation to his digestive system? No, just generally. Generally, okay. All my parts work. But Biden, all his parts work. The White House staged its annual

Halloween event on Monday. The theme was Hallllow reed which oh about harry reed exactly they brought his desiccated corpse out um no they uh it was a because dr jill biden oh yeah was like a reading specialist with children. Right. So they gave books out with candy, celebrated, featured famous literary characters. Oh, really? Yeah, it's kind of crazy. The famous literary Halloween decorations included an accurate down to the inch recreation of the murdered family from In Cold Blood. And a recreation of the beach murder from Camus the Stranger.

Oh, okay. It's really wild. Dark stuff. Yeah. Wild, wacky stuff. There's a whole Toni Morrison section yeah for the kids too yeah right a lot of the ghosts from uh 100 years of solitude um a thousand years what was that book called anyways gabrielle garcia marquez yeah but i didn't know how many years of solitude it was

uh because i was a philosophy major i wasn't an english major among the guests secretary of state anthony blinken who dressed his kids up like like i had to so our writer jm put this in the doc and i was like no this is a joke like this i have to go and these costumes what he actually did right he truly blinken truly dressed his kids up like zelinski and a ukrainian flag like truly the fuck out of here fucking grown city how like how these kids look tiny yeah they're like they really want to be vladimir zelinski and a ukrainian flag they want to be paw patrol right come on dad jesus they want to be sonic they want to be mar flag they want to be paw patrol right come on dad jesus they want to be sonic they want to be mario they want to be grogu they don't want to be the bolstering our like the image

of like why we need to send more billions of dollars to ukraine but they don't want to be like part of your fucking political cartoon man like could you imagine though that house is so rife with propaganda that the kids are just fully into it they're like and dad i want to be president zielinski they're like oh you make me so proud um but yeah the right really tried to create some kind of controversy pointing out that biden uh first of all dropped a piece of candy so this is like it really is interesting. Like, they seem to have such a detailed memory of the Trump administration and like anything that people made fun of Trump for.

They're like, what about that? Biden just dropped a piece of candy. So in your face, because didn't Trump like put put a piece of candy on a kid's head at one point? There was something where he didn't know what to put a piece of candy on a kid's head at one point there was something where he didn't know what to do with the costume like it was the difference being donald trump looked completely lost interacting with children like versus biden yeah he's like old grandpa like sure he's gonna he's gonna drop a couple fucking worthers yeah uh as he tries to fill up the kid's satchels but trump interacting with

children by not knowing what to do with the candy and like putting it on top of like a minion's head or something because the kid didn't have arms or him talking to the kid and being like so uh are you still into santa claus is that like sort of in your purview he like used business language or something like those are two of my favorite things about him. Those are some of his highlights that go along with him being a complete Nazi piece of shit. But anyways, yeah. Holy shit, he dropped a piece of candy. What if nuclear codes were in there?

We'd be in trouble. We'd hide it in the Snickers. Yeah. Yeah. Well, and then the coughing. codes were in there we'd be we'd be in trouble we hide it in the snickers yeah yeah well and then the coughing i just like you know apparently he was repeatedly coughing into his hand yeah i mean so many people have either covid or the forever cough i feel like yeah um just make more identifiable um finally relate to joe biden because he also has the forever cough that's right all right uh let's take a quick break and come back i want to talk halloween decorations i want to talk i want to kick us

off with my my three i'm gonna get opinionated here i'm gonna get spicy here miles yeah i know i'm looking at three uh three mistakes three halloween decoration mistakes and then i also want to get your input on some that i don't know. I don't know how to feel about them. Yeah, whatever you want, man. I got my own opinions, too. And I think I disagree with one of them. Oh, all right. Here we go. We'll be right back. This summer, the nation watched as the Republican nominee for president was the target of two assassination attempts, separated by two months. These events were mirrored nearly 50 years ago when President Gerald Ford faced two attempts on his life in less than three weeks.

President Gerald R. Ford came stunningly close to being the victim of an assassin today. And these are the only two times we know of that a woman has tried to assassinate a U.S. president. One was the protege of infamous cult leader Charles Manson. I always felt like Lynette was kind of his right-hand woman. The other, a middle-aged housewife working undercover for the FBI in a violent revolutionary underground. Identified by police as Sarah Jean Moore.

That was live audio of a woman's nightmare. This machine is approved and everything? You're allowed to be doing this? We passed the review board a year ago. We're not hurting people. There's nothing dangerous about what you're doing. They're just dreams. There's nothing dangerous about what you're doing.

They're just dreams. Dream Sequence is a new horror thriller from Blumhouse Television, iHeartRadio, and Realm. Listen to Dream Sequence on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Señora Sex Ed is not your mommy sex talk. This show is la plática like you've never heard it before. We're breaking the stigma and silence around sex and sexuality in Latinx communities. This podcast is an intergenerational conversation between Latinas from Gen X to Gen Z. We're covering everything from body image to representation in film and television. We even interview iconic Latinas like Puerto Rican actress Ana Ortiz.

I felt in control of my own physical body and my own self. I was on birth control. I had sort of had my first sexual experience. If you're in your señora era or know someone who is, then this is the show for you. We're your hosts, Diosa and Mala, and you might recognize us from our flagship podcast, Locatora Radio. We're so excited for you to hear our brand new podcast, Señora Sex Ed. Listen to Señora Sex Ed on the

iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. And we're back. We're back. So I've gone around my neighborhood with a clipboard and a pen and a disapproving look on my face it's one of those pens that clicks and i like click it multiple times um as i just observe people's just saying oh this is what you went with okay it's like why did you click it five times? Could have just clicked it once. These are, I've already told you my favorite Halloween decoration, which is the 12-foot-tall Home Depot witch that appears to be flying on Broomstick. Yep.

Which I happen to have. Shout out geometry and physics. Get a lot of kids stopping by. Very impressed. Giving it the finger. These are the ones. These are the ones yeah fuck you fuck you you think you're better than me these are ones that i i feel like need to stop or like need to

at least be used in better moderation okay the yellow police tape yeah okay i'm okay with a little yellow police tape if you've got like a wild murder scene happening on your front lawn like throw a line of police tape up for verisimilitude we're good but there are people who like this is their this is the you know color that they paint with his yellow police tape and that's like their entire concept is like what if like our whole yard was just like mummified with yellow fucking police right what else not just that just that man like what if like somebody really went wild that must imply that something bad like must have really happened here but it ends up just looking like a construction site yeah you know the i think it's

also like to your point it's lazy like some people will just like sort of tape off their yard with like one random thing and be like, see now this shit's freaky when you can, you know, do better, do better. And also I'm not really into seeing police tape just in general. So I could use a different aesthetic that would bring about,

uh, you know, a fright within me than saying la it is funny though there was a person in my neighborhood who had lapd police tape i don't know where the fuck they got it right but they had the official shit and i remember at one point like they put their stuff up early and people in my neighborhood thought something actually happened at the house because they had like that it's also yeah it's also a functional thing that lets you know something bad has happened. Right.

So, I don't know. I'm just saying. It doesn't, like, look cool. It doesn't. It just, like, is confusing. I would say, in general, you know, if you want to use it in one spot that is, like, very clearly part of a larger theme or, like, you're creating a scene, fine. Yeah. Yeah. of a um larger theme or like you're creating a scene fine but like yeah yeah i'd say like do it over your front door and do like blood splat like gore on your door with like you know x out your door like so just keep it to the door on the door and we get it we get it yeah more gore on the door

that's all i'm saying um all right this one might be controversial but biden pubes aka the white cotton fake spider web things uh i call it witch hair but yes which hair yes yes for me this is the number one offender it's probably the most common halloween decoration and it almost always sucks i feel like okay like first of all i never i never have like my kids stop and say whoa look at the fake the fake spider. It doesn't really look that much like spider web. Right. And it's usually not stretched the way that it... Sometimes it just looks like they just took it out of the bag and just draped it there. It feels overused and doesn't really have the effect that I think people are hoping

it will have when they put it up. It can be a fine accent, but it shouldn't, again, should not be the main show. And stretch that shit out. Can't just have clumps of it. You know what I mean? Yeah. This is the one. I love witch hair.

Okay. I think because I just like calling it witch hair. Yeah. i love witch hair okay i think because i just like calling it witch hair yeah and no for no other reason aside from just i like miss the misnomer of calling fake spider webs witch hair uh i think so you're implying that the whole decoration is actually them being like a witch shed all over you yeah yeah yeah just like have a witch's hair just like blowing off in the breeze like uh what's her face in the craft when she's hair starts falling off the shower it just keeps falling out um but like i i think that with the spider webs to your point people just get that clump they just stretch it

like as far as their arms go and they're like yeah that's good i'll put that on my bush and you're like no that fucking looks it's like it's like the fucking police tape people get lazy they think the mere presence of the witch hair makes this shit spooky you gotta put a little bit effort of effort into it another side note i remember there was a girl on my like high school that was scolding people because they were pointing out that it's hazardous to birds and like nature like to have your trees all gummed up with that shit yeah like it's such a pain in the ass to get rid of too like you see that shit just like stuck in the trees after the fact i don't know man just go hard go hard on the witch hair i think it's just more like i've seen someone do a cool like where it looked like their car like they had an old car in their driveway and they stretched

it out nice so it looked like a fucking giant spider like was fucking up their car yeah okay like i'm merely putting it over some shrubs next to your door that's fucking lazy and i've been guilty of this in the past and i get it i get it i get it it's just i think people are yeah it's intoxicating the police tape the witch hair and they think just the mere presence of it is enough no you gotta do the work um tiny gravestones this is on amazon and not the people who buy it is enough. No, you got to do the work. Tiny gravestones. This is on Amazon and not the people who buy it, but it's very, most of the gravestones you can buy on Amazon are like, come up to your shit.

They're tiny gravestones. They're gravestones for a dollhouse. When you put them out, I'm not mad at you, but you are signaling nothing spooky so much as Amazon got my ass or like a seller on amazon tricked me into thinking these are going to be the full full-size grave yeah yeah yeah yeah i'm

with that tiny gravestones are an l but what do you think about the styrofoam like like just uh arms and legs that are meant to be like it used to be like the witch getting crushed they just put it in the ground so it looks like arms and legs are coming out like a zombie arm i like those those are like kind of a new school one i think big time i love those all right so here's here's some ones i have questions about okay do you think snakes are are halloween decoration i feel like snakes are freaky when they're moving so to see like a fake static snake yeah doesn't quite do it for me but i know people who are very fucking afraid of snakes and just even a rubber one will set them off so i don't know i i'm not a fan i mean what are we talking about just like

having a pile of fucking snakes everywhere yeah like sometimes people have fake snakes involved in their halloween decorations and'm like, for no good reason. I'm like, no snakes. Aren't aren't spooky. They're scary, but they're not spooky. They don't count.

That's where we're coming from. Um, I don't know. Sharks are scary, but like a shark is a shark Halloween decoration. Like that doesn't fit. Cause that's not where sharks get your ass, you know?

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I think snakes are more Indiana Jones, like style, like jungle, like that doesn't fit because that's not where sharks get your ass you know yeah yeah yeah i think snakes are more indiana jones like style like jungle shit the ones that are cool are like when people use the projected animation of snakes and they project it onto something so it looks like shit's actually slithering because there's like motion yeah that that i'm down with like the idea of moving snakes i think can be spooky, but just random snakes?

Nah, not really. But spiders do make the leap and do spook me out. They do belong. What do you think about birds? A lot of people are just like, these crows, these black crows are evil. I'm not a fan of the anti-crow propaganda out there and raven they're very intelligent animals so i want to give them that although i did see somebody put them in their tree like it looked like a full-on murder of crows was just chilling and they had like glowing eyes

yeah shit look yes okay not like one random one you want to look like a whole fucking set pulled up like to fight another fucking raven gang or something on your block and that i can i like that i like that yeah black cats obviously work for halloween but like dogs i feel like anytime someone's trying to incorporate dogs it's not working as much for me dogs yeah like sometimes they'll have like skeleton dogs uh there was of course the bye-bye man who had a heavily featured dog in his uh who is the bye-bye man isn't that what that movie was called the horror movie whereas like if you see him you're going to like commit a murder in the next oh there is a movie called bye Bye Bye Man from I have no idea about this. With Faye Dunaway?

Oh, is that? Yeah, yeah, Faye Dunaway is. And Carrie Ann Moss, Trinity from The Matrix? Yeah. Is the detective? Okay, Bye Bye Man. Bye Bye Man. The Bye Bye Mans? Yeah. I guess the Hound of Bakersville is one of the hounds, but like, hounds of hell for

some reason have never fully caught with me. Bakersfield, yeah. Not Baskervilles? Baskerville. Bakersfield. Yo, the hounds of Bakersfield. Yeah, where's a flat brim? Yeah, for real.

Pulls up with the big Fox racing sticker on the back of the pickup. Yeah. My number one Halloween decoration always impresses me uh fog machine if a house has a fog machine that is actually like working oh like sometimes there's a fog machine and it's like is that a humidifier but like when the fog machine is really like you got spitting yeah when that shit is spitting wow yeah come on come on i mean again i think this all goes

back to the thing that i'm saying is motion makes it spooky yes if shit's too static it's like i i get it it's like a nice sort of set piece but if you have motion like people who do the little fake flame pots and stuff with the little silk underlit that just blows like that a little bit of fog a little bit of creepy crawly projection that shit is very easy and very spooky without having to deal with witch hair or police tape or none of that shit that gives me

and I we should we should uh go to market with a hand reaching out of the ground one of those zombie hands reaching out the ground that like moves a little bit like that would make that 20 times better if it was just like... Slight twitches. Twitching.

Yeah, yeah. Yeah, like it's coming to life. Kill it. Anyway, it's all about the motion, baby. That's what I'm saying. All about the motion. Speaking of the motion, I actually don't have a way

that this is about the motion. Are they going to make... Yeah, something about Drake? Taylor Swift, pumpkin. It's the nightmare-inducing Taylor Swift pumpkin, Charlie Brown. I think that was what the Peanuts Halloween special was all about. Yeah, this is a viral pumpkin of Taylor's. It actually looks like her.

Even though her head is not pumpkin shaped, they've made it look... They've nailed it. I'll give them that. It is what you would hope for from a Taylor Swift bobblehead. You know? Yeah. If it's a Taylor Swift bobblehead, you would want it to look this good.

It is a 399 pound gourd that they've painted to look like Taylor Swift. And they've nailed it. Past celebrity pumpkins that were less successful were Kanye. Oh, this is by the same artist? Same artist. Same person.

They do it every year to raise money for breast cancer awareness, breast cancer research. Got it. Yeah. Maga Kanye. i don't yeah okay not working for me not working not working in general no need for it but thank you thank you for your thank you for your effort the taylor swift inspired halloween decorations uh halloween costumes are huge this year going to be huge have been huge

I am not going to get those or at least I'm going to need I'm going to ask my wife and she'll say yeah that's Taylor Swift oh right right nice Taylor Swift costume unless she is with Travis Kelsey in which case you have no idea

I'm out their jerseys were selling out the Kelsey jerseys are selling out with Travis Kelsey, in which case you have no idea. Yeah. Yeah. I'm out there. I mean, their jerseys were selling out. They got, I've seen a lot. These are selling out as Halloween decorations. They're like that. And I'll throw it away once they break up.

Yeah, exactly. That's gotta be such a boost for the chiefs. They're like, I don't even, who cares how long this relationship lasts? Like we can't even keep the jerseys on the shelf, even if it's one year.

Yeah. We're doing great. We're doing great we're doing great i know um that i mean some people are like is it a distraction for him but he performs better when she's in the stadium so that's all i is that like oh is that borne out in the statistics it's borne out in the statistics it's born out in the statistics man oh hell yeah we all just need a fucking tay in our life to to get us to fucking perform at our highest level so good for them good for them catch that ball man catch that ball and block or whatever is he a tight end or some shit yes he's a tight end yeah do it catches the ball blocks throws the nice big blocks. All right. Love to see that. Love to see that. But yeah, like one of these TikToks with a Kelsey Taylor Swift pairing of costumes is like, POV, you find the best decorated house for Halloween in the neighborhood.

And I don't know what any of this shit means. Like, I don't. Yeah. Kelsey on a skeleton torso, like seemingly kneeling before taylor swift like a proposing and then those are her exes jake from state farm okay yeah fuck fuck jake from state farm they were dating for a while jake gyllenhaal that's's Jake Gyllenhaal. Oh, right. Come on, Jack. You know what? I was looking for Pete because I was confusing Taylor Swift with Ariana Grande. Don't admit it.

Don't admit it out loud. Oh my god, my career's over. And that was the last podcast he ever recorded. They've covered a lot of controversial topics, but it was when Jack ultimately confused Ariana Grande and Taylor Swift that

the show's downfall was sealed. And rightly so. Yeah. And finally, the takeout has a nice article to make you grateful this Halloween that you live now and not in history, which is a nightmare that we're all waking up from. So they just went through like,

what were the cool candies that people were giving out? First of all, trick-or-treating didn't really become popular until the 1950s. I didn't even realize that. They were pointing out that like the phrase first, trick-or-treat first emerged around 1939. Like they can find.

But yeah, it wasn't until the 50s till people started i guess it became a full-on national thing apparently yeah but so the the popular halloween candies in the 1920s orange gumdrops orange jelly beans orange buttercups okay and chips and hard candies and there were black licorice gumdrops and jelly beans and buttons and all possible devices that were ever seen in black candies so they kept it on on brand with the black and orange everything yeah but black black candy black licorice is fucking disgusting i'm sorry i hate that anise flavor yeah 50s they kind of like caught it up to candy corn hershey's kisses hershey's miniatures

jordan almonds are those the covered ones yeah they're like candy i think they're like a maroonish candy around the almond um spiced jelly drops of course ah yes chocolate bridge mix ah my favorite is that like that bar mix that like with the chips and the pretzels and all that shit but just covered in chocolate bridge mix looks like a bunch of like raisinets and shit i think it's just basically chocolate covered nuts and chocolate covered trail mix basically yeah yeah okay i don't know why it's a bridge again that feels just like so old school someone please tell me why because that's what people people just played bridge all day long bring me my bridge mix for my bridge game uh and then in the 60s we got uh you know caught up and

people were like i can't believe the variety of candy is available at your local retailer. Yeah, this one is amazing. From this article, this Chicago Daily Tribune from 1962, Lois Baker. Never before, it seems to us, have the food stores been stocked with so many varieties and such novel packages of candies, cookies and chewing gum and other goodies designed to provide you with simple loot for those little trick-or-treaters who will soon be making their halloween expeditions this is the part that bums me out she highlights what she thinks is the coolest thing quote a cellophane bag filled with 14 miniature boxes of plump sun-made raisins wow although these we think should really delight the junior set they also are ideal as snacks at any time of the year for young or old no the they are aren't or are just no what i mean is no to raisins okay no raisins as a thing given out at halloween

probably not maybe like maybe that was cool back then maybe they still get but think back right my my earliest memories of getting sun those miniature sun-made raisin boxes were from like elderly neighbors yeah where they're like this old they're like oh you're gonna fucking your little wig's gonna blow off, Einstein, when you taste these fucking shits. And so heartbreaking that that's what they thought our reaction was

gonna be. And instead I was like what the fuck is this, old man? Yeah, like, well we're TPing the fuck out of your house later. And we regret it. Anyways, happy Halloween, everyone. Happy Halloween to you, Miles. Happy Halloween to later. And we regret it. We regret it. Anyways, happy Halloween, everyone. Happy Halloween to you, Miles. Happy Halloween to you.

And all. And all. And to all a spooky night. A good fright. Oh, so good. That's going to do it for us today. We're back tomorrow with the last episode of the show.

Until then, be kind to each other. Be kind to yourselves. Get the vaccine. Don't do nothing about white supremacy. And we will talk to you all tomorrow. Bye. Okay, bye-bye.
