Cool. I'm Jack. You're Miles. It's our last recording pre-Halloween, so I just want to check in real quick with Google's Fright Geist to see what the most popular costumes are nationally. So you know how like there are those like your state's favorite candy and you know, they... Oh shit, I didn't record this. I haven't been recording. Does that matter? Should I?

It's so funny. I was thinking of asking, but I figured, you know, yeah, you got it. But yeah, please. That'd be great. That'd be great. This is a podcast. I know, but I figured you know, yeah, you got it. That'd be great. This is a podcast. I know, but I thought we could use the backup.

I guess not. We can if you want to, sure. No, fine, Dan. Whatever. Why don't we keep all of this actually? Can we keep all of this and then we'll just start right here? Okay, cool. Alright, a little peek behind the window. Dysfunction of the show anyways uh last second i was like oh shit it's the last recording before halloween we should

look at uh what the most popular costumes are um and you know how there are those like by state map uh things of like the weird food that your state likes. And they're always like cheating a little bit because if they gave the actual most popular like pie in your state, it would all be like the same pie or whatever. But, um, Google has chosen not to do that. They're giving us the actual top,

most popular Halloween costumes. Uh, and they are number one, which number two rabbit, number three dinosaur. It's it's like yo this sucks uh we start getting a little bit more interesting with number four spider-man um spider-man is fun as hell to dress up as because you got the whole face covering all that um it's a blast uh number five cruella deville because of just the massive impact made by cruella uh six fairy seven harley quinn which i can confirm as somebody in a neighborhood that

gets a lot of trick-or-treaters a lot of harley quinn a lot of spider-man a lot of joker uh who's not even on this list um cowboy clown chucky cheerleader uh pirate pumpkin angel vampire among us is number 16 i don't know what what does that mean you dress up as one of the little characters no i'm i don't even oh god i gotta figure out i'm just thinking of what i'm doing because when i i have to i'm getting i'm going to like a costume party on Saturday, like tomorrow. And in my mind, I'm like, I ain't doing that fucking cowboy shit. Like I need something fucking lit.

It's so weird. I have like all this shit where like, I want to have a lit costume, but I don't bother thinking about it till the day before. Yeah. Um, so I think I'm just going to get like a seventies leisure, leisure suit and be like,

I'm an extra from the movie blow. There you go. Um, the zombie 1980s is a popular halloween costume apparently um that makes sense yeah because remember like that was a thing we do in the 90s is like oh i'm wearing my dad's old pants like because i'm 15 and it's from the 70s and now it's like i can't wait till i'm like yo kid put this uh fucking varsity uh v-a-r-c-i-t-y velour suit on with this headband you're you're you're part of 112

um locally let me see where we uh where we uh they're not able to determine where i live oh because i don't i don't let google track because i don't live on earth um anyways uh shout out to uh everybody who's dressing up for halloween i will once again be batman with the built-in muscles ill-fitting batman ill-fitting batman uh which is the 26th most popular costume ill-fitting bat yeah it's Batman with with moose knuckle is what it's called on here it's called call CPS Batman rabbit is

is very popular for I guess because the ears are easy to easy just draw dumb whiskers on your face boom yeah right which you just carry a broom around. Yeah, or dress like my ex-wife. Hey! Hey!

All right, now we're talking. I'm back, folks. You could be a hacky stand-up for the night. Yeah. How about I go as a sad podcaster? All right. you know how about i go to a sad podcaster uh all right uh so let's talk about um so let's talk about something real spooky yeah and that's the the trending phrase make everything trump again oh that's you want you want a real scary thing uh that's that's what's scaring to me

yeah scaring to me i think it started off as like a meme uh i may have just come from 4chan where they were just saying like the one that with the uh mark zuckerberg meta announcement that meta actually stood for make everything trump again oh okay but then but it's the internet so you don't know where shit originated from because it's like anything that kicks off with like a trump uh based trend like where half of the twitter's being like oh time for the russian troll farms to open up yep it's just moscow time and then other people who are like i miss trump make everything trump again we had it good thanksgiving was cheap um so sure just just twitter doing its shitty thing i mean if he makes it to 2024 we're definitely getting another trump term uh like makes it physically to 2024 yeah yeah

that's where i'm feeling things headed as if you look at what they're doing in different state houses they're putting in just like cybernetic organisms from the future who are ready to rat fuck the election. Yeah. Like, whereas before they were people who somewhat were like, no, like elections have to be fair.

Like if you lose, you lose. That's why it's an election. Now there's, you know, steadily putting more people in who can be like, I don't agree. And actually,

I think even though there was a blowout for the Democrat or the other guy, I'm marking this as a big old w for my side yeah um tom hanks is trending because he did this uh thing celebrities often do where they just like event bomb uh something so uh a couple was getting married on the beach tom hanks was observing from afar which i think is weird uh to begin with to just be like kind of hanging there in the background um and then he just like showed up and was like like so i have mixed feelings about this because yeah it would be fucking cool as hell if tom hanks showed up at your wedding on the other hand it's it's a weird impulse for a celebrity to be like oh you know it'd be cool as hell for them if i showed up at their wedding unannounced well that's that's that bill bill

murray mentality right it's who doesn't fuck with me which is true tom hanks yeah they're both right and you have a pretty good argument in terms of like people aren't like man fuck this dude like if tom hanks pulls up his fucking smoke that's not really the lane he's in um but like at the same time like could you imagine like oh no like you're at the wedding you're like yo yo yo tom hanks i think he's trying to get in here like do they know about fucking richard he will beat the fucking shit out of tom hanks if he sees him here they're like hey mr hanks man i i look we fuck with you heavy but the groom he will beat the fucking shit out of tom hanks if he sees him here they're like hey mr hanks man i i look we fuck with you heavy but the groom he will fuck you up um if he sees you he hated a league of their own right he just doesn't believe that you could actually pee for that

long yeah he just insists that it's a it's a lie he thinks you did wilson so dirty like honestly like you just let that motherfucker float away he was your only fucking friend homie for real okay and now i'm kind of with him you know what actually yeah just for your own safety man and really nice to meet you rita as well y'all should get the fuck out man yeah um because before i do wonder uh one other note on his appearance he looks looks great. I gotta say. I was like, wait, did Tom Hanks from 15 years ago show up at this? Is this Bosom Buddies headshots?

What is this? He's starting to look better than Tom Cruise all of a sudden. The Toms are switching places. Yeah, just the audacity of pulling up to be like, why wouldn't I get in? I don't like that energy full yeah he said that it was the most beautiful wedding he's ever seen and so wanted to come

up it was uh two women getting married and maybe he's like this is this is great that this this sort of thing can happen in america i remember people would be like this is gross get it out of here but now but now it's beautiful and i'm tom hanks everyone huh round of applause for that yeah anyways uh i mean decenter yourself but i mean i get it unless you're tom hanks in which i don't know i'm trying to really think like if i because part of me i think think the phases of it go, oh, my God, it's Tom Hanks. And oh, my God, he's chill. Like he's wow. He's doing the electric slide.

Okay, cool. He's up. And now it's like, okay, now nobody. Now this is Tom Hanks's wedding. Right. I'm not here anymore. I just got fucking married. I'm paying for this alcohol. And y'all want to flick it up with Tom Hanks the whole time.

Right. It's just a line of people waiting. Yeah. With Tom Hanks. Yeah. I'm sure. I'm sure. Your wedding photo booth up with Tom Hanks the whole time? Right. It's just a line of people waiting to flick it up with Tom Hanks. I'm sure he wouldn't overstay as well. Just has Tom Hanks parked there. We can just do this real easy. Just come through. We'll get the shots done and then email them to you.

One example of this that I didn't mind was when Dwayne Wade happened to be walking by while people were getting engaged while someone was proposing to somebody and he was just clearly like oh my god it's so amazing like he responded like yeah just and then like they were like oh my god it's dwayne wade and then he walked up and took a picture with them and he also was dressed

really well i feel like that's the other thing does tom hanks just show up because he's he's like damn i've actually been looking pretty good lately i got this new haircut right maybe i show up and i feel like that was part of it if he's not dressed to dress coat he pulls on board shorts and a tank top no turn around i here's the other thing if you're tom hanks don't pull up to a wedding and then not give somebody like 10 grand just off the strength of your wealth that's one thing and here's an old typewriter from my collection right get the fuck out of here man he's like when i see a picture of a loose sock i took near a storm drain i've seen my instagram i do stuff like that we're like yeah how about money for this wedding you just interrupted uh all right let's take a quick break we'll be right back

in 1982 atari players had one thing on their minds. Sword Quest. This wasn't just a new game. Atari promised $150,000 in prizes to four finalists. But the prizes disappeared. And what started as a video game promotion became one of the most controversial moments in 80s pop culture. I just don't believe they exist.

I mean, my reaction, shock and awe. That sword was amazing. It was so beautiful. I'm Jamie Loftus. Join me this spring for The Legend of Sword Quest, a podcast about the fall of Atari and the disappearing Sword Quest prizes. We'll follow the quest for lost treasure across four decades.

It's almost like a metaphor for the industry and Atari itself in a way. Listen to The Legend of Sword Quest on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. 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. The story of one strange and violent summer.

And we're back. uh ice cube just walked away from nine milli because he doesn't want to get the vaccine no i don't want nine million because i don't want to get the vaccine okay okay o'shea

o'shea jackson we get it uh yeah he was in a movie called uh oh hell no with jack black when it said he was declining to be in it i was hoping he was gonna be like this movie's so fucking corny i can't participate in it right but then you read after declining to get vaccinated um he said no way o'shea no way o'shea no way osha right that's right uh patch is trending yeah mauricio pacchettino uh a very you know a a figure in uh european football who was a manager who you know really made his mark with uh fuck what's the name of that other team it's in north london it's the smaller one they were always tottenham uh he used to be their manager and you know, oversaw a really great period for

them. One that ended pretty cataclysmically and then Jose Mourinho came in and made things even worse, much to my delight. But he's also he's the manager now of Paris Saint-Germain. Okay, PSG which is one of the wealthiest, I guess

second wealthiest now that Saudi Arabia essentially owns Newcastle Football Club now, Newcastle United. But, you know, PSG has, they've had their sights on winning the Champions League for the longest time, which is like the top honors for the best European clubs on, you know, in in the region and they've bought you know some of the best players right now they have killian mbappe fucking neymar and heldie maria lionel mess fucking lionel messi and those are like the only names you know i've heard of all those guys yeah and you know there's like a lot of people have just been criticizing they're're like, I don't they're like, we don't. This guy's got the best tools at his disposal. And they're like playing people and just out of position or the tactics seem wrong. So now the groans are happening and there's rumors that maybe he'll he'll be taking off.

Maybe he won't be around anymore. And maybe they can potentially welcome Zinedine Zidane as their new manager. But is Zidane have a good, like, has he been managing? Oh, yeah. He was at the helm of Real Madrid when they were just winning, you know, they won La Decima, their 10th Champions League, all the way up to, I think, like four more after that. He's the guy who headbutted somebody, right?

Yes, he did in the 2006 world cup um i saw that live i think a lot of people did a lot of people did a lot of people like oh don't do that don't do that okay well i guess david trezeguet can come on with his old body and do something yeah so he's playing i'm assuming by playing out of position like messi's playing is the goaltender is the goalkeeper yeah he's playing as the golder he made up a whole new position he's like stand behind the net he's like but then i can't play he's like i know i know but they're gonna be intimidated yeah yeah pope is trending as in the pope oh um that'd be great if that's how he introduced himself. Pope. The Pope. Yeah, that one.

Nice to meet me. He went through, came through, met with Joseph Biden. Joseph Biden and the Pope hung out for longer than expected, which conservative publications were sure to point out, because I think there is still a belief that catholics are taking catholic presidents are taking uh their orders from the papacy yeah um that's happened every time a catholic has run for president there's always been a big scandal where they're like i heard he's gonna just have the uh vatican city's army just like rolling through main street um right anyways

no clue what i didn't didn't know the pope was in america um no he's in he's in europe by byron's in europe binan's in europe that makes so much more sense remember because um he had to they're like okay here's my infrastructure framework i'm on a flight y'all voted voted in right hold on sir sir oh yeah easily okay he left and we still don't know if we're mansion and cinema are yeah so and finally adam kensinger is uh trending yeah uh he's a republican yeah one of the idiots that voted to impeach yeah and also dumb dumb certified the election and is on the january 6th commission i mean he's already said like the amount of vitriol and like literal death threats he's received from being a republican who's like this is fucking all bad

everyone really like right put yourself in a perspective of what happens in this runaway version of like autocracy if you think liberal shit is is a fucking like a nightmare scenario to you but again he's just like tried to do what was objectively the right thing or just normal thing um and he's just also pointed out he's like dude i can't run as a report like this is this party has been completely taken over by trump it's i don't i don't even know where i'm at anymore so he'll be replaced by a trumpist presumably or a trumpet who knows uh yeah I don't even know. I don't think it's a swing district he's in,

but maybe a moderate Republican could... I don't even know what that means anymore. But I know Trump is glowing because he was like, a true thing or whatever the fuck he does, being like eight down or two down, eight to go or something. Told you he was a loser something told you he was a loser told you he was a loser yeah

fuck with me you'll find out okay alright well probably fucked either way but shout out to that man for actually acknowledging reality in one small sliver of his life alright um all right well

those are the things that are trending on this uh final recording before halloween we hope you guys have a great halloween uh give out lots of candy get lots of candy um all that good stuff be kind to each other. Be kind to yourselves. Get the vaccine if you haven't already. Don't do nothing about white supremacy. I'll talk to y'all on Monday. Bye. Bye.
