This show is sponsored by BetterHelp. Ever feel like you're not being your full self,
like you're putting on a mask to fit in or hide a part of who you are? I'm crying no. Halloween
may be for dressing up, but sometimes it feels like we're wearing masks all year at work with
friends, even with family, and therapy can help us remove them. Therapy offers a space to embrace
every part of who we are, face our fears and move past insecurities. This journey of self-acceptance
can bring a sense of peace, confidence and authenticity to all areas of our lives. Visit betterhelp.com

slash freedom. Hi, I'm Reshma Sajjani, founder of Girls Who Code. Look, I'd
consider myself a pretty successful adult woman. I've written books, founded two successful nonprofits, and I'm raising two incredible kids.
But here's the thing.
I still wake up wondering, is this it?
And if the best years are yet to come, when's that going to start?
Join me on My So-Called Midlife, my new podcast with Lemonada Media,
where we're building a playbook for navigating midlife, my new podcast with Lemonada Media, where we're building a playbook
for navigating midlife, one episode at a time.
Each week, I'll chat with extraordinary guests who've transformed their midlife crisis into
opportunities for growth and newfound purpose.
At some point, we all ask ourselves, is there more to life? I'm here to discover how to thrive in my second act, right alongside you.
My so-called midlife is out now, wherever you get your podcasts.
Freedom!
Freedom!
Are you fucking kidding me?
Is there a ghost in here?
Freedom!
Freedom!
Freedom!
Freedom!
Freedom!
Freedom!
Freedom! Freedom! Freedom! Freedom! Freedom! Are you fucking kidding me?
Is there a ghost day here?
Are you doing Phantom of the Opera?
Christine!
Christine!
When I think of Halloween, I think of Phantom of the Opera. Da da da da Christine, Christine.
When I think of Halloween, I think of Phantom of the Opera.
I think of all of Andrew Lloyd Webber's films
and videos and stage productions.
I love his videos.
I love his reels.
What do you think found of the opera dressed up for
as Halloween?
As Halloween.
He probably, he should have been a yin-yang.
Paul, get off your phone because I just made a mistake and you didn't jump on it. He should have been a yin-yang. Paul get off your phone because I just made a mistake
and you didn't jump on it.
He should have been a yin-yang.
What is going on with you?
Hello, I had a great idea.
What?
He should be a yin-yang.
One of the yin-yang twins?
No, cause then he has the white part
and then he could do the black part.
That's right.
And then dot on either side.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
He could paint the non-fucked up part of his face black.
Yeah, yeah.
Have you seen these videos where kids scare their moms
by painting their faces entirely black?
This is scary.
And they're like hiding in the shadows
and then they just open their mouths and eyes?
That's so creepy.
And these are videos?
These are, it's on Instagram, I've seen so many of them.
I don't like that.
And they scare the shit out of their moms.
That would be the scariest thing I could imagine.
I accept, it looks terrifying.
Kudos to them.
I can't imagine my daughter scaring me.
Oh, she will.
She will?
She will.
Has Holly scared you at all, ever?
No, but she tries every day.
Does she really?
Yeah, she tries to hide and surprise me.
She likes to jump out like, bleh.
Yeah, yeah.
That's adorable.
Where does someone learn that?
Did you do it to her once?
I'm sure I've done that.
Did she say you, I learned it from you?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, she says that a lot.
Anytime she's in trouble.
Wait, what is she gonna be for Halloween?
A snake.
A snake. A snake.
So you've decided, because this episode's
coming out on Halloween.
This is our very special Halloween episode.
I love little kids so much.
I have the package that is holding
my, me and Mike both got snake costumes.
Fantastic.
And then hers is in there as well,
but I haven't let her see it because, you know,
kids get over it really fast.
I don't want her to put it out there like,
I don't like this.
I mean.
You want to, like five minutes
before she's supposed to go out.
Yeah, we're building it up.
So I'm gonna like, I'm gonna let her try it on, want to like five minutes before she's supposed to go out. Yeah, we're building it up.
So I'm gonna like, I'm gonna let her try it on,
I think a little bit before today,
but I don't want to, you know, waste it.
And then Gigi is gonna be, she has two costumes.
She's a pumpkin and a Hershey kiss.
Absolutely.
Yeah.
Absolutely.
I would have made her a mouse if I had realized
the snake thing was happening, but... That's horrible.
Or an egg.
What?
Well, I wouldn't make her a snake too.
I think she should be something else.
Yeah, but don't make her something that a snake eats.
How about an egg?
They...
What about something that eats a snake?
Like a hawk.
How about an egg?
Like a hawk.
A hawk eats the snake.
The hawk eats the snake.
The hawk eats...
Why don't you dress her up as the hawk to a girl?
You know, I am a disgusting person with a depraved sensibility.
However, I dislike all of that.
I think that's disgusting.
I think that is hawk to a girl.
Normalized blowjobs.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I think they're normalized.
You think so?
I think they're still kind of on the outer edges of society.
Yeah.
I think we should be able to talk about them in polite society at lunch.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You know, without lunch, without being dragged to HR, without barfing or dragged to hell.
Excuse me.
Nothing.
Hello.
I'm Scott.
He had a nasty thing he wanted to say.
I'm Scott.
Nasty.
I'm Lauren.
I'm Paul and this is Freedom.
Hoppy Halloween.
Yes, Peter Cottontail.
Hoppy.
Hopping down the bunny trail.
It's a scary day.
I hope everyone's having a very orange and black
kind of day.
And now purple's in there.
Purple is really in there.
How do you feel about that?
I feel okay about it.
It makes sense to me.
What next color should we appropriate with Halloween?
I mean, I think neon green is also in there a bit. Is it?
Yeah, it's part of a pumpkin. Green is part of a pumpkin. Okay, but after that... And it's part of goblins.
Maybe... Oh my god. I saw a fucking video when we were on tour. You're like Mr. Video. You love watching videos.
They call me Mr. Video. They call him Mr. Video.
This man keeps bringing up videos you've seen.
Brett found this video.
Have you seen anything in real life?
Not in a long time.
Well, I'm a video right now because he felt uncomfortable looking at me.
Yeah, I'm looking at you guys through my phone so I don't feel weird.
He found this video of a-
He frowned it?
I had to ask you.
I just had to ask.
I had to ask you.
I just had to ask.
I had to ask you.
I had to ask you.
I had to ask you.
I had to ask you.
I had to ask you.
I had to ask you.
I had to ask you.
I had to ask you.
He frowned it.
Was the grink there?
The grink.
He found this video of a guy,
it's one of those ones where the person puts themselves
in front of another video and is commenting on it.
And it's footage apparently.
It's the floating head phenomenon.
Why don't they put themselves behind the video?
Why don't they just not do it at all?
Yeah, and then you wonder where the voice is coming from,
then they step out in front of the video at the end.
Hi. It was me.
That's a surprise.
Thank you for joining me.
This guy is commenting on video of a swim meet
and the camera finds sitting high up on some ledge
overlooking the swim meet.
Well, there's only one way to say it, a goblin.
And this guy is saying, what you're witnessing here
is a goblin.
In a swim meet?
Yes.
The guy said he is, the goblin is sitting there with its little legs crossed and its
little hands on its knees.
And it really looks like a dog wrapped in a towel, like a small dog wrapped in a towel.
But it is kind of high up there.
And it's sitting by itself?
Sitting by, yeah.
Or a goblin's usually high up. But it is kind of high up there. And it's sitting by itself? Yeah, no other goblins are sitting.
Well, a goblin's usually high up.
Well, like no one's holding it.
Well, I think like,
I consider goblins to be close to the ground.
I do too.
I do too.
I think anything could happen.
But this guy's saying,
I've consulted with my colleagues and this is a goblin.
It's a young goblin, probably two to three years old.
How old do they get?
Like what's the age range?
He doesn't say, he doesn't say.
Okay.
But if that's young.
Yeah, cause I'm curious if it's.
Well, then you would say middle aged.
Sure.
Middle aged goblin.
He's a middle aged goblin, he's about three.
He's a middle aged goblin.
He's a middle aged goblin, he's about three years old.
He's a middle aged goblin, he's about three years old.
He's a middle aged goblin, he's about three years old.
He's a middle aged goblin, he's about three years old.
I'll send you the video.
It's pretty adorable. I think there could be a really good kids song about this middle-aged goblin. I did send that video
To the freedom thread. I know I don't see that I got I gotta admit something Paul. I don't watch the videos
I didn't I don't like watching videos. You don't like watching any videos. No videos. Let me see you're out of your mind
You're missing out on one of life's great pleasures.
Well, I reacted to the one you sent today.
Thank you, dear.
I didn't watch it.
I sent one that I only got a thumbs up on.
I understand this now.
This one I reacted to, the one with the frog jumping at the kid.
I see the goblin.
Okay.
Okay.
Ah, it's the goblin.
It could be, perhaps.
The cryptid foundation.
Oh. That, right there. What the fuck? Witnessing the goblin. It could be perhaps. The cryptid foundation. Oh.
That right there.
What the fuck?
Witnessing a goblin.
Let me go to all of our threads that I'm on with you.
And I'll see how many videos you sent today.
Less than three years old.
Okay, because it's a numbers game.
This is factual.
Enjoying observing.
I have addition.
Okay, so.
What the fuck was that other thing?
Less than three years old.
To our freedom thread, you've sent,
no, Lauren sent that one.
You've only sent one video and that was today.
I did watch this one, by the way, the Golden Girls,
or the.
That was a good one.
Okay, so I watched one video.
Okay, so then our.
The video you sent today was somebody had compiled images,
like video clips of actors in the 70s,
and then when they died, a video clip of them
the age that they died.
Just the first them as random ages.
Yeah, like 35.
And then it's like, when they died, like 79.
And then you're like, why?
Why is it?
And they're all pictures of them.
So it's pictures of them at 35, right?
Then it's a picture of them the year they died,
presumably up until the last two,
which is clearly like an even older picture of older picture. Yes, yes. Like in black
and white. It confused me. What's the last one? They only
showed the guy when he was 45. And then he died at 49. Yeah.
Well, why don't you show us when he was 25. So at least it felt
like something happened. But the music that plays while this is
happening is this.
Yeah, let's go!
Oh, that's the...
Yeah.
Switched over to the wrong video.
Let's go!
So this is the music under, just images of actors.
It's so weird.
We gotta post that when this comes out.
Make a note.
Post that, gotta post a goblin.
Yes.
Yesterday to our tour thread, this is not a you problem, Paul, this is just the sheer
amount of videos.
It's an M problem.
So Carl sent a video, Brett sent a video, Brett sent another video, Lily sent a video,
and then Tawny sent a bunch of gifts.
This is too much for me to keep up on.
It's a lot to keep up on.
It's too much video.
And yet no one else seems to have a problem with it.
I know.
And in fact, people seem to enjoy it.
No, they did enjoy it, and it's just a me thing.
I'm sorry that I don't watch most videos.
You're a real video Scrooge.
I don't, I'm sorry.
And it may have to do with the fact
that me driving on tour now is now constantly interrupted
by loud videos right behind me.
This is a new thing.
Okay, so this has been a new thing with the advent
of videos on TikTok and Instagram.
And do you remember we had that advent calendar
leading up to when Instagram would have videos.
Oh my God, I bought the best advent calendar.
Tell us.
It was really expensive and I,
let me explain something about this.
Spend that money, girl.
No, so.
You can't take it with you.
And I wanna hear what you're gonna say.
Okay, Scott, I wanna hear what you're gonna say.
But not about this, I wanna hear what you're gonna say
that I interrupted.
But, then what I'm gonna say is.
So you don't wanna hear what I have to say about this?
You can react to this as well.
Do you wanna hear what I have to say? Oh, thank you. Or do you already know what I'm gonna say? I do to hear what I have to say about this. You can react to this as well. Do you want to hear what I have to say?
Oh, thank you.
Or do you already know what I'm gonna say?
I do want to hear what you're gonna say.
So every year Arden and I buy each other
all of our stocking stuffers,
because it was a tradition her mom and her friend had
when like the husbands wouldn't really fill the stockings.
And so they were like, you know what?
Let's just buy everything for each other.
It's really fun.
So all year we're kind of collecting
little things to give each other.
By the way, I did not realize that was a thing
until I saw multiple videos online of-
People do it?
Mom's stocking being empty.
Oh, that part.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
No, totally.
Mike's never, I mean, no offense.
It's fine, I don't care.
I'm taking it, I'm gonna shit on Mike.
I'm not hurt by it,
but he doesn't keep on top of the stocking situation.
I put something in Cool Up Stocking last year,
she was shocked.
Yeah.
Yeah.
She's like, did you buy me this thing?
It's actually very sweet when that happens.
Pedro Pascal magazine.
That's nice.
Ha!
Ha!
I love that.
Ha!
But yeah, it's usually up to like the rest of the fam.
Ha!
It's like with those magazines, it's like-
Time presents.
Yeah, or even-
Life magazine and all of that.
Lower class, just like Pedro's bio, where he grew up.
Just a bunch of pictures. What his goals are.
I love that. I want that.
But so this year, we decided instead of doing that,
we're going to get this one thing that we've both coveted.
And it is the Liberty of London Advent calendar.
Liberty of London is this amazing high-end department store
in London that we both love.
It's beautiful, it's a beautifully,
it's just a beautiful building
and then everything in it is beautiful
and it's all expensive and it's all crazy.
It's just fun to walk around.
Every once in a while I get like a targeted ad from them
and then I'm like, oh, that looks nice
and then I look at the price and I'm like,
oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah.
It's crazy, but it's really fun to walk around
in that store if you're ever in London.
It's just a department store like really fun to walk around in that store if you're ever in London.
It's just a department store like clothes, jewelry, purses, like it's like Saks Fifth
Avenue, but it's just super nice.
And they have this advent calendar.
It's a beauty advent calendar.
It looks like the building of Liberty and then every drawer full of delightful things.
Little things though?
Yeah, makeup and hair products.
Wow. So that's why it's expensive. It's got things in it.
Yes. Yes. The Narden was like, it's like she had she broke it down so much.
She's like, it's $10 a day for a month. It's $10 a day for a month.
So that's $250. Or $3,100. No, it's $350 or something.
Whatever the amount is. It's $5 million.
It's like $340, I think.
And that is really, really expensive,
but we always treat each other at this time of year.
And then this is our gift for each other.
Nice.
Yeah, so I'm really excited.
And that's gonna be every day of my December.
It's gonna be full of fun.
We're only a month away.
I know, very excited.
Now, do you think it will drive Holly crazy?
Yes.
I got her an advent calendar as well with like little pet shop or something.
What? You wouldn't know. Paul, you don't know about this little tiny animals. Thank you. Is that so
hard? No. And so I figure I'll say you get to open yours and I get to open mine. Mine won't be as
exciting when she sees that it's all like creams. Although she does steal all my stuff. Are you going to coordinate it or are you open at the same time?
We should because I don't know how else
I'm gonna get away with it.
That's a fun mother daughter activity.
Otherwise I have to keep it in a room she doesn't go in
and then I don't really get to enjoy that.
Yeah, Emmy loves creams though.
I know, so does Holly.
So she's probably gonna take my lip glosses
and all the things.
Yeah, she always wants lip gloss
or she wants cream on her hands
so she can put it on herself.
Or she wants a band-aid when she doesn't need one.
Oh, Holly gets band-aids all night long.
Yeah.
Kids love those band-aids.
They love them, yes.
I almost, I feel like I vaguely remember that feeling.
It's really funny.
Of liking band-aids.
Huh.
Did you as a kid want to have a retainer
or like a broken arm?
Oh no.
Or braces?
I feel like I wanted to have a cast.
Yeah.
I had a cast.
I wanted to have glasses and guess what happened? Yeah. I had a cast. I wanted to have glasses and guess what happened.
Yeah.
I had a cast when my brother ran over my foot off,
I've talked about it many times.
With what?
A car, dear.
I don't really recall.
Okay, well.
Some might call me crazy.
He was dropping me off at my library volunteering gig.
You're such a saint.
Or you were.
In the station wagon, and I had the door open
and was about to shut it and had my foot next
to the wheel of the car.
And he ran onto it.
And then I started screaming.
And he backed up and did it again.
Oh, fuck.
He did back up.
That's terrible.
Yeah, and then he implored me not to tell mom and dad.
How could you?
He's just, just walk it off, just walk it off.
No, come on, dude.
And I was like.
That was a car.
Yeah.
So I broke my foot.
So I was in a cast for when I was 14.
Did you think it was kind of cool?
It was, you know what I liked was I was on crutches
and I got really good at it.
I got like super fast on them.
And then I got into a walking cast
and was able to like, you know, run in that
and stuff like that.
And you've recently had your boot on.
So it's all territory you're very familiar with.
Yes.
Is that foot connected to the, is that?
Connected to my what?
To your knee bone?
Is that?
No, but is that the same foot that got run over?
Cause have we ever made this connection
that possibly these nerve issues are connected to that?
Huh?
Ha!
By the way, I think my foot feels better.
I, uh.
Is it the same foot?
I believe I have feeling in my foot.
I believe I do too.
Let me poke yours with a pencil.
Okay.
Okay.
I love that.
Go ahead.
Don't leave the lead in there.
I'm gonna close my eyes.
Yeah, I feel that.
It's a little lower though.
You're doing it at the place where it's not.
Oh, he's a freak.
Little lower, little lower.
Yeah, I feel it.
Oh yeah.
I feel it.
You don't, you're not sure.
I feel it.
You're not sure.
I wonder if you're doing it too hard
where I would feel it.
Okay.
Do it like.
Cause he's definitely feeling the motion of his foot
being assaulted by that Sharpie.
I feel it.
Yeah.
I think I haven't been checking in with it
because I don't want to like, when you check in with,
well, when you check in with something every day,
you don't notice progress or whatever.
So I haven't really.
A watched foot never feels.
Yes. So I haven't really felt it in a couple months.
You feel this?
Ugh!
Ow, my balls!
Anyway, I was gonna say about driving,
cause I do the driving during the tour,
a new wrinkle has come up.
In your brain.
Which is, yes, I hope so.
Which is, be driving along,
we have a little bit of music on or a conversation,
and then from the back seat right behind,
the loudest video that starts abruptly just.
Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.
Is it because people don't realize their sound is on
and they open Instagram or they're trying to watch a video?
I think it's both.
What do you think Paul?
When it's happened, when I've been the culprit,
it is because I did not realize the sound was on.
Honestly, it's often something I was not intending to watch.
Yeah. It's just I open up the app and then it starts yelling.
Yeah, I hate that. Yeah. It's so embarrassing in public.
One time I was sitting in a waiting room in this old lady's phone.
You have doing that. And she kept going, oh, oh, my God.
And she just kept doing it.
She couldn't figure out how to make it stop.
I had someone on the plane back from,
we just got back from the tour.
For those of you who don't know,
Paul and I were on the tour.
We did our last out of town date.
And I had someone next to me on the phone,
an older lady who had the sound on on her phone.
It's just boggles the mind.
It's insane.
And so just every, and was getting alerts
or texts or something, like every three minutes,
just like there was a sound of like, it's like the coins falling.
So yeah, I was behind someone in line at UPS recently and they were they had their sound
on it was just a young woman about my age.
I was like, this is very surprising behavior.
It was like, and then like all these reactions that she was sending
and then her typing was loud.
Like I don't know why anyone needs to have an alert,
like a sound alert for a text.
Bing, bing, like,
Oh, you got a text.
Who gives a shit.
I only do that if I'm leaving my phone in the other room
and I'm waiting for something to happen.
Yes, exactly.
If I need to make sure I do not miss that text.
But we get so many texts.
Can you imagine
just being around constant dinging?
I eventually muted our thread.
Constant dinging.
The one with all of us on it.
You're muting it?
I muted it because we all write back so fast
that there's like a hundred alerts.
We're pretty quick.
Yeah.
I usually don't mute because I like to be on top
of everything, but then by the time I check in, I go, okay, I see everything.
Sometimes I will put my phone down and then when I get back to it,
there are 120 messages.
It's always funny.
We've got a lot to say.
But you probably tear through them because you don't watch the videos.
He doesn't care about the videos.
The videos are tough for me.
I don't know.
Sometimes, you know,
do you have friends who consistently send you reels on Instagram?
Now I feel like I prioritize certain people's reels.
Cool up.
I was prioritizing them where I was like,
oh, this is important.
And then she confessed that she's just a forwarding queen.
Where she-
She doesn't even care.
She just forwarding queen.
I was like, oh, I watched that video you sent me
about the, and she's like, oh, I sent you a video? Oh, oh, that, oh yeah, sure. And I was like, oh, I watched that video you sent me about the, and she's like, oh, I sent you a video.
Oh, oh, that, oh yeah, sure.
I was like, oh, I thought it was important.
That's why you sent it.
She's like, no, I'm a forwarding queen.
I just send, I send everyone everything.
You've been burned.
That's why.
Yeah. That's tough.
I've been burned by watching an unimportant video.
I would never send an unimportant video.
Paul only sends videos.
You sent one today.
That was important to me.
That's too important. How dare important to me. That's important.
How dare you?
No, it's a good one.
He doesn't send anything
that's just something you've seen before.
I know the quality is always good, Paul.
I just, I feel, if I send it, I feel it is worthwhile.
Yes.
And I understand that it won't be for everybody.
I get that you might have a different opinion, of course.
Sometimes you get people in your life, they send you,
they really, they'll send you some good ones.
So you'll check out everything they send,
but then they send some bad ones in there.
You know what's always shocking when someone's humor
with reels is so off and you just go, that's not a good one.
Like, oh no, no, no, that one actually offended me.
That one was weird. Offended you?
You know, it's just like, just not good.
Yeah. Sometimes they're, you know.
With the quality.
Yeah, the quality is.
The poor quality.
It's poor. Yeah, yeah.
I'm like, you gotta be operating at a certain level.
I am on an Instagram thread with two other people.
Shout out to Graham Clark and Alicia Tobin.
I don't know them.
Well, that's why I gave you their first and last names.
He's about to describe this thread
and it'll give you a good.
Okay, so what's the thread like in there?
The thread is, I would say it's 99.9% people getting hurt,
doing something dumb and then getting hurt as a result of it.
And 0.1% cute animals.
And you're sending them cute animals?
No, no, no.
Everyone, every once in a while,
if it's like a really cute animal,
it's like, oh, okay, here's this.
But mostly it's people that are trying to do
like a skateboard stunt,
or they're trying to prank somebody,
but they end up getting the fucking knocked down or something.
It's all kinds of stuff like that.
And most of the time time they're really funny.
Every once in a while it's brutal.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's why America's Funniest Home Videos
put the boing sound in.
Yeah.
And also, you know that-
You didn't think about this person
going to the hospital.
I just want to say that the math
of what I said earlier made no sense.
And I just realized that.
Which math?
About how much the thing that I bought costs.
It's like $10 a day.
What did I say?
You did say $10.
Nevermind.
I thought I said 30.
No.
It just went in my head.
I just went, did I just say $30 a month?
$30 a day.
Here, try to say $10.
$30.
All right, we have to take a break.
Bye.
Hey Paul, are you ready to elevate your daily routine?
Yeah, it sucks.
Why, what do you do all day?
What do I do?
I kind of, I count on my hands.
Just to-
Up to two, because you have two hands?
Yeah.
Yeah. And then you start hands. Yeah. Yeah.
And then you start over.
Yeah.
All day long.
That's my daily routine.
Well, look, I have something better for you.
Okay.
Okay.
I'd like to hear it.
Good luck.
But listen to this.

Oh, hi.
It's a spooky season.
And you know what takes my breath away besides getting so scared by ghost ghouls and goblins?
Congestion, allergies, pesky colds, getting sick is chilling.
I'd rather meet two ghosts, three ghouls, and five goblins than have a stuffed up nose.
This is why we need to prioritize nasal hygiene.
Nasal equals nose.
It's just as important as the rest of our self-care routines.
I've realized, here's something I've realized.
When my breathing is off, my whole day trick or treating
or, you know, seeking revenge on houses
who give me bad candy in the form of toilet paper and eggs.
It gets thrown out of whack. That's why I've been loving my Navaj nasal care unit.
Navaj makes breathing easy,
and it's truly become as essential to my routine as brushing my teeth.
After eating so much candy, I love candy.
I've got a sweet tooth.
Navaj is simple to use, and the relief I feel is instant and palpable.
So if you want to breathe better and feel your best, I recommend Navage.
Give your nasal care the attention it deserves with Navage.
It uses smooth saline flow and gentle patented nasal suction to clear nasal passages.
Plus, it is drug-free and uses 99.9% pure saline salt pods, the kind I love, with no
medicinal side effects.
And I love how fast it works.
We all love our Navajas.
I take Manantour with me.
I don't tell anybody else, but I do. Especially
with all the travel and time changes, new cities. Whenever I want to feel my best, Navaj is always
playing a role in making sure I can actually breathe. Unlike the tape I put on my mouth at
night. Because breathing, let me tell you, it's great. Start breathing easier today. Order the
Navaj Starter Pack.
It comes with everything you need to get started.
Trust us, you'll love this.
Plus, Freedom listeners can get a free cleaning kit as a gift, but only, and this is important,

Hello, we're back.
Hi everyone.
It's Halloween and I'm gonna reveal Emmy's costume.
I don't think I've revealed it.
Oh my God, we haven't talked about this.
This is exciting, not on mic.
What is it, what is it, what is it?
It's Earth, as in welcome to.
So it's a little switch in the solar system.
She was going to be the sun, wasn't she?
Oh, maybe she is the sun. Oh, no, I'm Earth.
Oh, OK. Fucking clown. You maniac.
So I'm sorry I fucked up so bad.
That's why you have a tiny sun costume on right now.
You forgot you're supposed to be wearing the Earth one.
Just around your neck.
Which, by the way, as Earth, all I think cool up just ordered me a T-shirt
that has earth on it.
And then I looked up Amazon today and it's on bag.
So I don't even know if I'm going to be.
And what's she going to be?
I.
I. Saturn.
I don't know. I don't know.
Jupiter. I told you to be a rainbow.
She did tell you that the sun cloud rainbow don't know. Jupiter. I told you to be a rainbow.
She did tell you that.
The sun, cloud, rainbow situation.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
You could still be a rainbow.
Did we talk about this on a previous episode?
I think we did.
Or maybe a thremium.
I think if you-
Wait, Colette must be the moon.
If you're gonna be earth, she must be the moon.
Yeah, she should be the moon.
Sun, earth, moon, right?
Sun, earth, moon.
Yeah.
Sun, earth, moon.
The Holy Trinity.
Yeah.
If you don't get your earth costume in time though
You could be a rainbow by wearing rainbow clothes
Yeah, red shirt yellow. I don't have anything like that dear Roy G. Biv from head to toe
I love him. Yeah, I love Roy G. We love Roy G. Biv don't we folks?
Is that a drag name from head to toe? Roy G. Biv?
Roy G. Bell bib to voe. Roy G. Bell bib to voe. Is that a drag name? Roy G Biv. Roy G Biv. Roy G Biv Devo? Roy G Biv Devo.
Is that something?
Is that something?
Is that your jacket?
Is that your jacket?
Classic memes.
I don't, I don't know.
Yeah, I don't know what to do if it doesn't come.
I don't even know if I want to wear an Earth shirt.
Surely you can find, oh my God.
You don't want to wear an Earth shirt?
That's not my style.
I might not want to wear an Earth shirt.
What about an Earth hat?
Well, you know what you could do? Do you have an Earth hat I can borrow? No. shirt? That's not my style. I might not want to wear earth shirt.
What about earth hat?
Well, you know what you could do?
Do you have an earth hat I can borrow?
No.
Honey.
Order one on Amazon Prime.
Oh my God, I have an idea.
Yeah.
I bet spirit Halloween or somewhere online,
you could order a thermometer outfit.
Thermometer.
Where you're like the temperature,
cause she's the sun and you're like,
oh, it's 89 degrees today.
And then there's like the red liquid
shooting out of the top of your head.
And you're like, my mercury is exploding.
Is that funny that mercury is right next to the sun?
And then the thermometer uses mercury.
Isn't it funny that-
And we use the thermometer.
Yeah.
And then we get used by our partners.
I don't know, just trying to make it to the next level. We're all trying to do that, girl.
Trying to make it to the next level.
What is a great Halloween memory that you have?
Were you a trick or treat around the neighborhood?
Oh, absolutely.
We were trick or treating around the neighborhood.
A great memory, they were all great. Every year was wonderful. Were you a trick or treat around the neighborhood? Oh, absolutely. Were you a trick or treat around the neighborhood?
A great memory, they were all great.
Every year was wonderful.
Although I remember I had this costume
that I borrowed from a friend when I was like four.
And I was like, she was a little older
and she let my mom use it or something.
And it was a cat costume.
And it was a big gray cat, like head type thing.
Like there was an open space, it was like a hood
and then a floppy big costume
and everyone thought I was a monkey.
And I was so sad at every house.
I'm a cat.
But were the ears not pointy?
I guess not.
Were you not wearing the whisker makeup?
I don't know if I was.
They thought I was a monkey.
If they cut you, did you not bleed? I didn't like having face paint on those. So I didn't, sometimes I did face paint and sometimes I don't know if I was. They thought I was a monkey. If they cut you, did you not bleed?
I didn't like having face paint on those.
So I didn't, sometimes I did face paint
and sometimes I didn't, but I wasn't,
I was not really-
I think the whiskers really help.
We'll have to find a picture.
Whiskers sell it.
I don't know.
Monkey don't have whiskers.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It was a sad time when your costume was wrong,
which is a good tip for everyone
to not try to guess what some kid is.
Well, I remember-
Oh really?
Let them say it.
Yeah. Star Wars came out and I went as Han Solo.
And.
Lucky.
Yeah.
You got to wear a vest.
Did people think you were Bruce Springsteen?
Famous vest wearer.
Oh, bless you, my child.
Bless the baby.
I'm allergic to Star Wars.
Bless your silly ass.
My mom made me a little vest, little black vest.
And I wore a white one.
Little black vest, yeah.
Oh, a turtleneck.
No, it was literally like felt with armholes.
Oh, okay.
But I had a little ray gun.
So cute.
But I remember going to a house
and an older lady asking me,
who are you supposed to be?
And I said, well, she didn't say it like that. who are you supposed to be? And I said, well, she didn't say it like that.
Who are you supposed to be?
And I said, I'm Han Solo.
She's drunk.
Yeah, I'm drunk.
And I said, I'm Han Solo.
And she said, Han Solo, where's Gretel?
And I was like, are you fucking kidding me?
You bitch, go to the movie theaters right now.
Yeah, I have a ray gun.
Does Han Solo have a ray gun?
Yeah. Han Solo and Gretel though, is not a bad expansion of the IP. Yeah, I have a ray gun. Does Han Solo have a ray gun? Yeah.
Han Solo and Gretel though is not a bad expansion of the IP.
Yeah, Gretel-o?
That's a good, yeah, wait, my cousin's daughter
goes to, at her school, they have to do something where,
I can't remember what the premises call,
but it's like something like rhyme time or something,
where you and your partner,
like your boyfriend or whatever, your friend, you wear rhyming costumes.
So they don't have to make sense together when they rhyme.
I've seen this.
I've seen this, yeah.
So hers was flapper and he's rapper.
So if Emmy were the son, I could be a gun.
Yeah.
Great.
I think that's a great idea.
AK-47.
Why don't you wear a gun t-shirt?
Maybe I'll just carry some guns.
Very scary. I gave 47. Why don't you wear a gun t-shirt? Maybe I'll just carry some guns.
Very scary.
I was going to be Luke Skywalker, I remember.
I remember this.
When Star Wars came out.
Yes, yes, yes.
And my mom was trying to figure out
if I could get a karate.
That's right.
But then I was worried she was going to sign me up
for karate because I was always rooming over me.
She was always like trying to sign me up
for karate or soccer. She trying to sign me up for karate
or soccer.
She went to sign me up for soccer once
and then they were full supposedly.
What a weird thing to sign your child up for a thing
without consulting them at all.
I mean, I'm about to be doing stuff like that.
I mean, I guess I will talk to her,
but I don't know how much she really understands
about what things are.
So it's like, do you want to go to dance class?
Like, what is that?
Yeah.
And you have to tell her it's grueling.
It's tough, you know, they're gonna yell at you.
Potta beret, honey.
Potta beret, potta beru.
Yeah, we're gonna sign Emi up for dance class, I think,
cause she loves to dance.
Yeah.
We were talking about dance or gymnastics.
But I wonder if she likes to dance
in a structured environment.
That's the thing, I don't know if she, if Hollywood liked that.
And I also need to sign up for swim lessons.
Well, that's vital. Yeah. Yes. That's vital.
And then making great strides. Am I going to do it? I know.
That's the real question. I need to do that. I, um, I think about it often.
I had looked up adult classes at one point like a year or two ago.
It's so vulnerable that I'm just like, can I handle it? I sort
of feel like I would need a private, it definitely has to be private. I don't think I can, unless
it was a bunch of friends. I do have a few friends who don't know how to swim. And I
was like, what if we all did it together? But the idea is still so crazy to me that
I don't know if I can handle it. I'm like, I'm not that bad of a swimmer. I think there's
like, there's a couple things that I'm not good at that make me nervous,
but it's those things that are the barrier for me.
Right.
You know, how do you feel?
About what?
About swimming.
I remember at a point you said you weren't a strong swimmer.
I'm not a super, like Janey's a great swimmer.
I'm not a great swimmer, but I am, I am,
I'm, I can keep myself alive.
I can keep myself alive.
Yeah. But I, but is it, is that what's fun about it? But is that I can keep myself alive. Yeah.
But is that what's fun about it?
But is that all there is to life?
Yeah.
You know?
I wanna be able to swim underwater
for longer than like two seconds.
I can only do it for like two seconds.
Oh, yeah, that's good to know.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I can do that.
No, no, I can't do that.
I can't hold my breath.
Well, I cannot.
What is it?
Is it like a panic thing?
I get panicked going underwater.
Try to hold your breath right now. We'll see how long you can do it. One. Okay. What is it? Is it like a panic thing? I get panicked going underwater. Try to hold your breath right now.
We'll see how long you can do it.
One. Okay.
Okay, ready?
Three, two, one.
One.
You just-
Well, I wasn't ready.
Why don't we time it and continue talking
so that it's not just counting.
All right, here we go.
Are you timing it?
No, you're the one who picked up his phone
when you said, why don't we time it?
I picked up my phone, you said, okay, ready, here we go.
So I thought you were ready.
Jesus Christ.
You fucking piece of shit.
I fucking hate you.
I will say this is irrelevant
to what I'm capable of underwater.
This is irrelevant to what I'm capable of underwater.
Okay, ready and go.
No, I did not press lap,
which a lot of times is a downfall.
Yes, it's the classic mistake. St. Yes, is the classic starring Hitler.
Downfall starring Hitler.
What have they done that with that movie where they didn't want it to be like
they wanted the Hitler actor identity to be a secret.
So you really felt like it was right.
Triumph of the will introducing Hitler as himself.
Triumph of the will. Oh, As himself. Triumph of the will.
Oh my gosh, Lauren's doing good. She's still going.
My friend took me to that Lenny Reisenthal
documentary once of like, we were like,
hey, let's go see a movie.
And she's like, oh, I really wanted to see
this Lenny Reisenthal documentary.
Okay. There we go.
Okay. Who's your friend, Morticia Adams?
Who is that?
That was 42 seconds. Hey, that's pretty good. That's amazing. I can't do that at all. 42. Okay. Who's your friend Morticia Adams? What was that? That was 42 seconds and 50.
Hey, that's pretty good.
That's amazing.
I can't do that at all underwater.
42.52.
So you panic?
I get nervous going underwater.
Mike and I were working on it a while ago.
Well, cause in the wrong misty,
I had to go underwater a bunch of times.
Oh, that's right.
And I didn't tell him one
because I don't really like to make a thing of it
because then people are going to be like aware of it.
It just makes it much harder.
I can do it. I just don't want people to be a thing of it because then people are gonna be like aware of it. It just makes it much harder. I can do it.
I just don't want people to be thinking
about me doing that.
Yeah.
And they sure weren't.
Wait, did you do, were you underwater on the Ferns movie?
No, you were outside.
I think I told you there was no way I could do that.
Oh, okay.
Cause Ryan was doing that.
Ryan was doing it.
I could never do that.
We were trying so hard to get him to be underwater
and motionless for even three seconds.
And it was like, he would go down to the bottom
next to his camera or whatever,
and be motionless for one second
and then scramble and have to go up.
And we didn't know he had an issue with it either.
Oh.
But we were able to get a good shot of him finally
for like maybe two and a half or something.
So scary.
Where he's just like underwater.
What was supposed to be happening?
Is this in the final movie?
Yeah, yeah.
It's when the,
everything floods.
The Matthew McConnough thing floods.
Yes.
And then it cuts to like Ryan as the camera operator,
and he's just floating dead, presumably.
Yeah.
But it was just so hard.
I had to go down the hall in the waterfall.
Yeah, that was fun.
That was like a water slide.
That was fun.
But yeah, it was very, we did it in a pool,
and it just was very, very difficult
to get him to not freak out. So crazy.
It's hard.
That was a tank, wasn't it?
Yeah.
Or was it a pool?
I think it was a pool.
Okay.
He just said it was a pool.
I know, but I thought he told me it was a tank at the time.
You're like him, like he is with videos.
Yeah, I'm obsessed.
Yeah, I'm scared.
But I think I do wanna learn
because it makes me nervous to not be able
to do something.
Did I ask you this?
Is Mike a good swimmer?
He's an amazing swimmer.
He was on the swim team and all of that.
And he was a lifeguard and stuff.
Dang!
I can see that.
I can't see the lifeguard thing, but I can see him being a swimmer.
Would he mind coming over and being a lifeguard when I swim?
I'm sure he'd love that.
What if you do horse play and he blows the whistle and you have to get out?
Yeah.
No running in the pool.
Scott just alone in the pool slapping the water.
That's like 90% of being a lifeguard, isn't it?
Like no running.
Yeah, stop it, slow down.
Yeah, I mean, we have a few friends that we all know
who don't know how to swim.
And I was thinking it would be really smart
to take lessons with friends in that way.
And just, cause if we're all equally nervous,
maybe that would make me feel better.
Yeah, of course.
I think the idea of being alone is vulnerable
because then I'm just being vulnerable
with this other person that I don't know probably.
And then the idea of being in a class with strangers
is too much, even if they were equally, I just can't.
When I took driving lessons,
I was glad that it was just me and this instructor.
And also the fact that I kept going until I got somebody
that I felt would be good for me.
That I didn't just suffer through the very first person
that they assigned me, who sucked.
Really, what was wrong with the first person?
He did a thing that is one of my fucking
least favorite things.
So we, first of all, I was very unprepared for
that the lesson begins, we're just going out into traffic.
Right. Right.
I was like that.
You've never driven a car before.
That actually is crazy.
Yeah.
I mean, it's not how it is.
I thought we'd be in a parking lot or something.
My dad took me to a parking lot.
Yeah. Yeah.
And then I think when you're in high school and you do it,
I mean, maybe you'd be on a more suburban street
or something most of the time.
So like, but being in LA doing that is a lot.
I figured in high school, they said,
no, you have to practice with your parents before we-
We did have to get a certain number of hours,
but that's, yeah, but then that's up to them
how they're gonna do it.
Maybe some people did make their kids just go into a-
Yeah, I don't know.
That's frightening to know that there are people that this guy's instructing out there just. So what is the least favorite going to do it. Maybe some people did make their kids just go into a. Yeah, I don't know. That's frightening to know that there are people
that this guy's instructing.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Out there just.
So what is the least favorite thing to do?
Well, it's not just this guy.
So I do, you know, he tells me to do something
and I do it and then he goes,
I'm trying to like follow everything
and I'm also like, what the fuck is happening?
And he tells me to pull over and I pull over, he goes,
okay, now what did you do wrong?
Oh, come on, bro.
Just tell me.
You're like, I don't even know what this is.
Uh-uh.
What, is this a car?
And that's not nice.
This is my first lesson.
How about, here's what you did.
We're five minutes in.
I think here's what you did great,
is a good place to start.
But I think it's also because he was probably used
to teaching kids, you know, and that's a way.
Yeah, but that's also like something a kid
doesn't wanna feel.
Absolutely, but you can get away with it with kids. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And so I called them, and that's a way. That's also like something a kid doesn't want to feel. Absolutely. But you can get away with it.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
And so I called them after that lesson, I called them and said,
I think I want a different instructor.
And here's my here's what I need and all that.
And they set me up with this guy who was fucking great.
And they fired the first guy. Right. Oh, yeah.
And they told me, and now I see him.
I'm also on a homeless.
He's holding a steering wheel.
He's holding a steering wheel. Driving is crazy that any of us do it.
And yet it's kind of, it's, I don't know.
I know it's not safe.
I love it so much.
Yeah.
Would you ever drive across the country?
Yeah, I've never done that.
I would like to do it.
I think that would be fun.
Was my driving relatively safe on the tour?
Relatively safe.
Yeah.
Every once in a while, we'd go over a curb.
Well, it was a big long thing that I'm not used to driving.
So every once in a while, making a right,
the back tire would go over,
the back right tire would go over the curb.
And I apologize for a few sudden swerves
when you realized you were going the wrong,
you were about to miss a turn.
Well, this was a lagging GPS on this leg, I have to say.
Did you get lost?
And Carl was bringing it up as well.
It's like, yeah, and we did go to the wrong hotel
in New York.
That's true.
And that's on me, although they were both called
the same thing.
That's exactly right.
You went to check in. But that's why you go with address. both called the same thing. That's exactly right. You want to check in.
That's why you go with address.
I know.
I put in the title because it had so many of the words
that are in the real title.
Yeah.
And I was like, all of these words
can't be in another business as well.
That is a problem.
It was a problem.
Like that's too-
And they're right next to each other.
So it wasn't like, not next to, like two streets away.
But it was like, they all have Marriott Times Square and another word in,
in both hotels.
And were you driving into Times Square?
And then one had one more word, which was like East.
Yeah. It's insane.
But we, so we, he drops us off,
me and the rest of the gang, we go in and we say,
we have a reservation under Ackerman and he goes, yeah, this amount of
rooms, one room, seven nights. And we're like, no, seven rooms, one night. He's looking at
us like, no, no, no. We give them the, the, the reservation number. And he goes, oh yeah, it's not at this hotel.
This is, we have a reservation for Ackerman
for seven nights, one room.
We're like, no, it's Ackerman, A-U-K.
And so, oh yeah, you're at-
That's pretty funny, that's exactly the opposite
with this almost positive.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
And he said, no, you're at the other hotel,
it's the same name, but it's East or whatever.
And we're like, oh, and then he goes,
isn't that wild, it's the same name, but it's East or whatever. And we're like, oh, and then he goes, isn't that wild, it's the same exact name,
but different reservations.
I could not help myself, but he said,
well, it's not the same exact name.
But it's almost.
And I'm like him saying, isn't that a little bit crazy?
It's funny that it's so close, but it's not.
But why would he say it's the same name?
This guy's like a liar.
He is a liar.
He should be arrested. And that's why we said, we know we're at this hotel. Give us those rooms.
But yeah, that was, that was unfortunate.
Any other Halloween memories, guys? Halloween memories?
Well, you know, Janey and I got together on Halloween. Really?
We began a relationship on Halloween at a Halloween party.
And what were you dressed as again?
And what was you dressed as again? We were not dressed as anything.
How dare you?
You both showed up in plain.
In plain clothes, yeah, we were undercover.
You were cosplaying as normal.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
What's up with that?
Well, it was not a mandatory costume.
Okay, so a lot of people were not.
Yeah, there were some people.
A lot of people were not a lot of yeah, there were some people a lot of people were dressed up in
costumes. Uh-huh
But there were plenty of people who were not and it was fine great and I admire I've said this before and I'll say it again
I admire people who do elaborate costumes. I think it's cool. That is not my thing, but I do appreciate it. Yeah. Yeah
Yeah, I don't think I'm dressing up is exhausting. Yeah. Yeah. I just like the color product dressing up
is exhausting to me.
I think I'm excited about my snake costume.
You can't even bear a t-shirt with the moon on.
The snake costume is like a, you know,
just an overall snuggie type thing.
And I did that last year with our Monsters Inc. costumes.
I'm like, that's kind of where I'm at with costumes.
I would just throw it on over my clothes
and have a good time.
Exactly.
And for the parents, it just needs to be the suggestion anyway.
You know what I mean?
No, I'm not going to put on like, I'm not going to make my skin look like rattle
snake.
What is what is Holly's snake costume look like?
It's green. There were not a lot of options, actually.
She really wanted to be a blue snake.
And she keeps saying she's going to be a blue snake.
And I'm like, you're actually not. You're going to be a green snake.
And so for her school, I told you how they have the trick or treat houses she's going to be a blue snake. And I'm like, you're actually not. You're going to be a green snake. I hope she's colorblind. I know.
And so for her school, I told you how they have the trick or treat houses that they,
we have to make.
Did I tell you this?
Yeah.
It was like, it's a holdover from the pandemic when the kids couldn't go trick or treating
and they made these little houses so each kid could stand inside, smacking hand candy
out.
It's really cute.
It's really cute.
But it's a lot.
Oh, I remember that video.
It was so cute last year.
But we made it, we made it last Sunday so that, because our schedules are crazy
and we won't have time to make it before Halloween.
So you didn't go to church?
Yeah.
Wow.
And we made it look like a snake.
I hope you went to confession.
It's a snake with eyes and fangs.
The house is a snake?
Yeah, so the box is all green and scaly
and then the front hole is like a snake
with his mouth open with a tongue coming out
and then eyes at the top and fangs.
Do you know how much you guys have ruined me
is that when you said front hole, it gave me pause.
I'm sorry.
And I almost.
You almost said something.
I almost said something.
Yeah.
I'm sorry, Paul.
I mean, I'm sorry too.
I think this is a good time to apologize.
Yeah, Halloween is a time where we apologize.
Let's make that a tradition.
I'm sorry for all the apologies.
Call up and apologize to everyone on Halloween.
Okay, I'm really sorry.
And guys?
You used to be so pure.
I'm sorry too.
Good, thanks.
For what?
For letting that happen to me.
Yeah, it's on you more than anything.
Yeah.
Thank you.
I do remember a certain Halloween like,
rushing to get home to watch the Chips Halloween episode.
Ha!
The Chips Halloween?
What could have happened?
I don't know.
I got, let me.
They arrested a ghoul.
I do kind of miss.
A ghoul was speeding.
I miss the purity of just finding whatever Halloween thing
was on TV and watching it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
There are too many choices now and I don't do any.
Trick or trick.
Frozen.
Is the title of the episode.
Trick or trick.
Trick or trick.
Not great options. Okay, well, something's getting tricked. Frozen is the title of the episode. Trick or trick. Trick or trick.
Not great options.
Okay, well, someone's getting tricked.
See, okay, there's Chip's season six, episode four,
a Halloween party is going on
and Bobby and Ponch are attending it.
And Ponch dressed up like Dracula.
Who the fuck is Bobby?
I don't know.
Is that after the one guy
that left the show? That must have been after Jon.
Yeah, Jon must have left.
Wow, can you imagine that?
Leaving a show? Leaving a show, a popular show. Can you imagine getting a a show? Yeah, John must've left. Wow, can you imagine that? Leaving a show?
Leaving a show, a popular show.
Can you imagine getting a popular show?
This is like your, this is a huge gig.
Yeah.
Then you're like, I don't wanna do this anymore.
And then what does he do after that?
Did he become a director?
I don't know, let's look him up.
I hope so.
I hope he was just like, I don't like acting
rather than I can do better than this.
John Baker was his name and he's played by Larry Wilcox.
Larry Wilcox. Let's played by Larry Wilcox.
Larry Wilcox. Let's look up Larry Wilcox.
He is known for chips.
He did military service.
I mean, being on chips has to feel like.
Military service?
Yeah, in a way.
I never watched chips.
Oh, it was friction with Eric Estrada.
Oh no.
California Highway Patrol.
And the I and the S are a little, uh, they're lowercase because they don't actually belong
in there.
So it's just CHPs.
Yeah.
But they call them, they're, they're named chips.
Whoa.
And then when it was in syndication for some reason was called chips patrol.
That's cute.
Yeah. Like chipmunks. California Highway Patrol Patrol. He some reason was called Chips Patrol. That sounds cute. Yeah.
Like Chipmunks.
California Highway Patrol Patrol.
He- California Highway Patrol Patrol.
He started his own production company
but it looks like they didn't really do much
and that's it.
Wow.
Dang.
Larry Wilcox, we love you though.
Why'd you ever have to leave?
I don't know if I love him.
I don't know.
Do you not love him?
Let's look at his personal life.
Let's see if we look at personal life. Look at controversy.
Personal life, he married his first wife in 69.
Oh, nice.
Had two children together.
Are they six and nine?
And then it doesn't say what happened to it.
And then his second marriage was to Dutch native,
Hany Strasse, a one-time chips assistant
and sound technician.
Gross.
Well.
The wedding took place in 1980.
Dipping his quill in the company ink.
And then they divorced after a birth
of their only child together.
Wow.
And then he married someone else.
Because of friction with Eric Estrada?
Yes.
Then he married someone else in 86
and they have two other sons.
So he has sons with three,
or children with three different women.
What do we think about that?
I feel like this guy is the problem
and not Eric Estrada.
Although Eric Estrada is very, very religious now.
Now?
And always was back then too.
Do you think he was so religious
that this guy was like, I can't be here?
I don't know.
I don't know. Anyway, we love him.
Larry Wilcox, we love you.
We hope you.
You know what?
Don't include me in that.
I don't love Larry Wilcox necessarily.
I don't know who he is, so I can't say that.
He's only 77.
So Scott, just say.
He's certainly not the grand marshal
of the Hollywood Christmas parade.
Yeah, you should just say you love him.
Don't say we love you.
We love you, Larry.
Because I don't know him.
We give you the freedom, stamp of approval.
Why is it a whip?
That was the sound of the air cracking
from how fast the stamp went down on the iPad.
I don't want it.
It was the sonic boom.
I could see it.
But I saw the physicality that went with it.
It's a stretch.
It's a stretch. So is this. That's a stretch. Wow. Listeners,. It's a stretch. It's a stretch.
So is this.
That's a stretch.
Wow.
He's doing a stretch.
He's very literal.
We have to take a break when we come back
special Halloween feature.
Oh.
Oh, a spooky one indeed.

Will you untie me now?
Yes.
And we're back.
And this is a very special Halloween feature.
It really is.
It's going to be so spooky.
You're going to be shitting your pants.
I already have.
That was a video we saw.
I guess I wrote the description of this one.
Yes, this is a guy.
This is the behind the scenes of an independently made Batman short.
And so this guy is playing Batman and he has a funny name.
I can't remember what it was, but it was something like Brant Mantors or something like that.
It's like a very flat dude bro name, right? And he's talking about how
when he put on the Batman costume,
he instantly was so deep in character. He didn't speak to anyone.
And when he went up to, and he's telling the story
that I went up to the director and he's trying to tell me,
you know, go over here and go do that, blah, blah, blah.
And I didn't say anything
because I wasn't Brant Manenter anymore. I was Batman. And I could see it in the director's eyes. He knew
that. And I mean, he shit his pants. Oh my God. He was not dealing with an actor anymore.
He was actually dealing with Batman and he just shit his pants. And he keeps saying,
he keeps saying he shit his pants. He shit his pants to the point where you're like,
did he really shit his pants out?
Did maybe he just shit his pants and use this as an excuse?
Well, I just couldn't believe you're really Batman.
It was a perfect timing.
Normally I shit in the toilet.
Toilet is where shit goes.
Because it was the Batman.
He has the Batman.
By the way, like giving Batman directions, if you actually think he's Batman, like, okay,
Batman, you're going to go over here. Yeah. Why? Punch the Joker. Circle the table for a second.
And then Brett revealed that he had watched the short. It's like 10 minutes long. And he said,
you know, we saw a couple of clips in the behind the scenes where Batman fights the Joker
and they're in some alley or whatever and it ends with the predator and a
xenomorph. Xenomorph? From Alien. So the Alien versus Predator universe is coming over to the
back. So this is setting up like a huge sequel.huh. I like the idea though that Predator is happening
in wherever Predator happens.
Where does it happen usually?
The jungle somewhere?
Atlanta or something?
Yeah.
Atlanta?
No, I don't know.
I've never really seen, I've seen an alien.
Oh yes.
Hotlanto, where the Predator roams.
Just pops out of a sewer or something.
Was it supposed to be in Vietnam?
I don't know.
That's a good question.
It is in the jungle somewhere.
It's in the jungle somewhere.
And all of them kind of take place in the jungle
from what I recall.
But that's all going on.
Meanwhile in Gotham.
Well, that's predator in the jungle.
All right, where does?
Where does?
Where does predator live?
Predator live. We love where he lives where does, where does Predator live?
We love where he lives.
I love where I live.
You're addicted to saying that.
We love where he lives, don't we folks?
If he lived here, he'd be home by now.
Predator, if you lived in Atlanta,
you'd be home by now.
A Central American jungle.
Okay. Amazing.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Well. Predator, one Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Well. Predator, one of the best.
One of the best to ever do it.
Predator, we love you.
To prey upon things, there's none better.
Did you, I don't know if I sent this video to you,
I probably wouldn't send it to you guys,
but it was a little child in a Predator costume.
Like a really good Predator costume.
Really?
No, I don't think that one made its way to me.
But the subtitle was really funny,
because it's in Spanish.
I gotta find it.
You gotta find that, so I cannot watch it.
You have to find that.
Let's do our game.
I guess we should do our game.
Yeah, this is our special three-ture.
It's a Halloween spooky.
Halloween spooky three-ture and-
All right, so the title of the video is,
Predatorcito.
Oh, Predatorcito.
Oh, so cute.
All right, this is called Last Letter.
This was submitted, of course, by Will.
Thanks, Will.
And we are going to improvise a scene.
The last-
The way he adjusts his head is very funny.
The last letter of dialogue from one person
must be the first letter of the next person's dialogue.
Do we take turns during this?
Or is it just anyone jumps in?
I think anybody can jump in.
You just have to start with the last letter.
Okay.
It's creeping me out.
And it's gotta be a Halloween scene.
It's gotta be a Halloween scene. It's gotta be a Halloween scene.
So all the trappings of Halloween.
I'll kick the fuck off.
All the fixings.
All right, go ahead.
Welcome to my mansion.
If you can stay here for one night,
you may receive one million dollars.
So if we stay here one night,
One full night.
Oops.
Well, you already fucked up.
I did, I did.
Because I felt the need, I had to specify.
Let's keep going, let's keep going.
So if we stay here one night,
we get a like a traveler's check.
Keep up honey.
Yes, if we stay here one night, we get a travelers check.
But also we get the honor of knowing
we stayed in this house overnight,
the most haunted place in all of Alabama.
Ah, yes, that is what they say.
But if you can make it till morning, you will be wealthy.
You haven't told us what the obstacles are that are going to impede us, you know, not just
staying here all night.
The obstacles are ghost schools and
goblins.
Sorry for him.
He is his first time being out in a while.
He was he actually recently woke up from a coma.
A coma, you say?
The sleep that is like death, but not death at all.
Look, I need to know what the danger is
when we're in this place, because I ain't fucking with ghosts.
I ain't fucking with ghouls and goblins.
Ah, ah, ah, ah, not gonna do it, not gonna do it.
Take it from me.
Shut up.
Please keep saying stuff like that to him.
He needs to hear that.
The way his brain has worked ever since then,
he questions everything.
Girl, are you scared of ghost schools and goblins, pray tell?
Lightly so, but not really.
You know, I don't really believe,
but that's why I feel like it's totally fine.
I'm gonna stay here overnight.
I'm gonna win the prize.
I'm gonna have all the money and gonna do a little dance
at the top of the building at the end.
Do we split the money or if we both stay?
Yes.
So I would have to share the money with you.
Yeah, we are married for the past 45 years.
See what I mean?
He's so condescending.
But let me tell you, before this,
he was the most deferential man I ever knew.
And that's why I married him.
He was so gentle.
He would do whatever I said.
He never questioned authority.
Yes. Well, I don't care.
The important thing to remember is you split the money
if you both survive until morning.
But will you?
Uh, you.
We cannot survive. I thought it was like we were just going to leave.
Like now we're not going to survive. We might actually die.
Every single thing you say he has a problem with. I'm yes, we might die here.
Didn't you know that? We're not going to though. There's no such thing as ghosts and ghouls. We're going to live.
We're going to be fine. We're going to live, we're gonna be fine.
We're gonna split the money fine, however much it is.
I get 60, you get 40.
Seems fair.
He hasn't been doing anything for a year.
Really?
Because of the coma.
Oh.
Oh.
Yee-kuhs of the coma.
Yee-kuhs of the coma.
Yee-kuhs.
Yee-kuhs. I coma. Yee-kuhs of the coma. Yee-kuhs. Yee-kuhs.
I don't wanna split it that way.
I wanna give you most of the money.
Honey, I love you so much.
And you stayed by me during this coma
and you bathed me and you changed my coma diaper
every single day.
I love you.
I want you to have 90% of the money and I'll take 10.
Now let me get this straight.
You thought I was offering you a million dollars just to sleep here overnight.
Try again, honey.
I thought you were offering me a million dollars to not leave and stay awake all
night.
offering me a million dollars to not leave and stay awake all night.
Take it back just a second, because the idea is this place is haunted.
It's full of ghost, ghost of goblins.
And that's why you would earn a million dollars to make it till morning.
Great.
Where are these ghosts?
Where are these goblins? You've been talking about them fucking forever.
I haven't seen a single one.
Oh.
Eww.
Eww.
He's a ghost himself.
Frightening.
A ghost talking to us?
Sorry.
I am a ghost. I'm not a ghoul or a goblin. Just a ghost. Ghost? Talking to us? S-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s- You? When did you turn into a ghost and who were you before?
Entertain me.
This was many, many years ago.
I want to say a thousand years ago and I was hit by a horse.
Exactly what I was thinking because of that horse print on your face, that hoof print.
That's the one.
Ever try to get that out?
20 times.
Seems like a lot.
20s, I mean, I would try 21 at least.
I mean, it looks bad.
I wasn't gonna say anything when we came in,
but now that I know you're a ghost, it's like, you know,
like try to get that out, please.
Everybody needs to get off my ass about the hoof print on my face. Okay.
Yeah, actually it makes sense because you're a ghost.
So it's probably not going to come out now.
I'm sure whatever you are stuck with is what you're stuck with. Right.
Thank you. She gets it, not like you.
Undoubtedly, we're going to stay here all night because you're not that frightening. If the
ghosts that are going to be here are like you, I mean, you look like a weak ass bitch.
Hey.
Ha ha ha ha ha.
I'll tell you this, though, I'm not staying here.
I'm leaving because I'm scared. I'm a ghost and I'm scared of these ghost, ghouls and goblins.
Where do you see them?
My bad, I thought you said there were absolutely no ghosts or ghouls or goblins.
It was just you. You were just a ghost.
Oh, no, you said you're not a ghoul or goblin.
OK, look, I'm starting to get a little nervous. I think maybe I was wrong thinking that there's no
such thing as ghost schools or goblins because obviously I'm talking to a ghost right now.
Why don't we just stay here and win the million dollars? Think of all the things we could
buy with it. We can go to the 99 cent store and get a million things.
Such a good idea. That's why I married him. He has the best ideas.
Like spending $1 million at the dollar store so we can get 1 million things.
Rather than just like one house, we could have like a million little pieces of crap.
Pal, can I tell you something?
This guy sucks and you can do better.
Look at you.
You're gorgeous.
You're sort of smart.
You're brave.
I mean, come on. Live your life. You're gorgeous, you're sort of smart, you're brave.
I mean, come on, live your life.
Everything you just said does feel true.
I used to be a supermodel, I quit because it was too easy
and I wanted to do more science.
So that is all, you kind of got me pegged.
Please don't hit on my wife in front of me.
Let me leave and do it behind my back.
Okay.
Okay, you guys didn't mean to say UK.
Okay, you guys just stay here.
I'm gonna leave the house.
Don't give her the million dollars without me though.
This is for your benefit. Okay, so I'm still part of the million dollars without me though. This is for your benefit.
Okay. So I'm still,
I'm still part of the million dollar thing,
but I'm just leaving.
I'm going to leave the room.
Okay. Not the house.
I'm going to leave the room.
All right.
So you guys have at it.
All right.
You guys keep, keep at this thing.
All right.
Whatever you guys are going to do.
I'm not a part of this.
Bye.
Everything he said made me sick to my stomach.
Holy God, please lock the door.
Don't let him come back.
I will stay here the rest of my life and live with you.
And I'll just, if you give me the million, that'd be great
because I won't have my job anymore.
But I would love to stay here.
I actually feel a much bigger connection with you,
the ghost than I do with that guy.
You guys still vibing in here?
Everything cool?
Leave.
I can't believe this is working.
Go away.
I had a crush on you for such a long time.
Everything you're saying is what I'm feeling. I just need you to lock the door because he's
going to come back.
Knock, knock, knock. I'm back, bitches.
See what I'm saying? Lock the door after he leaves. Are you able to do that or not?
I mean, cause you're a ghost.
Tell me this isn't a cool thing that I'm doing right now. Click.
Knock, knock, knock.
Hey, someone lock the door.
Hey, do you guys need any sandwiches?
I've been making sandwiches in the kitchen.
Now that does sound kind of good.
Let him in for the sandwiches.
Hmm. Slip the sandwiches through the mail slot.
That looks disgusting.
I'm not eating that.
I guess they were big sandwiches.
Sorry, I made these sandwiches too big.
But still, they taste really good.
Maybe you just want to unlock the door and let me in?
No.
Okay, bye.
Everything's still cool in here.
Everything's still cool.
Bye.
Ever get the feeling that this guy is not going to leave us alone?
Because that's what I'm feeling right now.
Whenever I think about him, I think about how he's not going to leave me alone.
Exactly.
Yeah.
You guys look, I found a secret entrance into the room.
Hi everybody.
Oh, look, look at all these sandwiches on the floor. Floor
sandwiches. Yum yum yum yum yum. My god I hate him.
Maybe we should just kill him and make him a ghost too.
Oh my god you are a genius. Stabbing that's what I'll do. Watch.
How could you do this, Etu, wife of mine? Killing me? Hey, did you know my name is Etu? I guess we never said our names. Mine's Etu. What's yours?
Simon.
Simon Says.
Simon Says, yes.
Nyman says, I meant to say, but yes.
Say, I'm not dead quite yet.
What's it like being a ghost?
I'm afraid.
Don't worry.
It is great.
As long as you don't have a permanent mark on your face,
which now I see you do, sorry.
You know, she's the one who gave it to me
when she just stabbed me in the face. Why were you stabbing me in the face, by the way,
instead of the body?
It seems more like a body thing.
Guess I just wanted it to suck more for you.
Understandable, understandable.
You've always hated me.
Still, I can't help but cling to this precious life I have.
I loved it life. I loved it. I loved being alive.
Even the way he says that doesn't feel true.
Doesn't you agree?
It doesn't feel like it's really bringing true for me that he loved being alive.
Entirely agree. I think he's lying.
I think he hated being alive. And I think he is clinging
to life out of spite and stupidity.
You know, I think these are my last seconds on earth. I just wanted to say that I've always
loved you. And I'm going to miss our 12 children.
Now he brings up the kids.
Still, I'm looking forward to this new plane of existence.
Being a ghost.
Here I come.
I die.
Entirely dead at last.
This is hard because I feel bad now. Like it was really fun until this just really happened for real. So I'm feeling a
little guilty. Do you think I'll get away with it?
Totally. You will, of course. You were driven to do it.
That's something you could say in court. You'll come of course. You were driven to do it. That's something you could say in court.
You'll come to court?
To be honest, they won't let me in
because of, you know, I'm not alive anymore.
Everything I've done has maybe been a mistake.
Everything? Well, it all led to that and I maybe been a mistake. Everything?
Well, it all led to that, and I just killed a guy.
Do you mean Gwell?
Gwell.
We did it!
Gwell.
Did it, Gwell.
I like that one, have we ever done that before?
I don't know.
It's in our reliable three-chars doc.
Dang.
But I don't know.
It's a good one, it was fun.
You don't realize how many sentences you say end with E
and T.
I know.
Boy, that's true.
And U.
U and Y.
Those are the most interesting.
Interesting.
Interesting.
Well, listen, if you'd like to send us a three-char,
write to us at freedomusa.gmail.com.
And if you'd like to leave us a voicemail for our Thremium episodes that we do every other week,
you can go to the website, haggclaims8.com
and leave us a voice message there,

And if you want to hear old episodes of the show,
this is our fifth season or something.
We have a hundred and some odd, I don't know.
Wow. 200, more than 200.
Do we really?
I think so. It's wild, isn't it? That's crazy. We take a hundred and some odd. I don't know. 200, more than 200. Do we really? That's crazy.
I think so. We take them all off after a year, but you can hear them all at cbbworld.com or on
Tuesdays we re-release our older episodes in order. Those are three visiting at the twos.
On the twos.
On the twos, sorry. And then every other Wednesday, we put out a Threemium episode where we answer your voicemails.

We've given you all the clues, Mr. Policeman.
Yes.
So thank you for listening.
Happy Halloween, everybody.
Have a great time.

Astonishing Spider-Man. This guy. Just came out, astonishing Spider-Man.
We announced it at Marvel.
The first three issues are out now on Marvel Unlimited.
I also want to say this Tuesday, go out and vote.
Oh my gosh, it's already that time.
Everyone go out and vote.
Everybody who listens to this needs to vote.
You're not a true PP if you don't vote.
Yes.
I know it can be like, oh, I saved it to the last minute
or whatever, but just just do it. Please. You have to do it. And of course, if you do
vote vote for Kamala Harris, do not vote for Donald Trump. That would be ideal. Yeah. We're
going to drop all the pretense. Yeah. The ideal situation. Don't vote for Donald Trump. Yeah.
Yeah. If you are going to vote for him, don't vote. Yeah. Yeah. You could stay home and
not do it or not even do it by mail. Oh, by the way, if you're gonna vote for him,
you vote the next day.
He is collecting all his votes on the six.
Yeah.
But yeah, that's this Tuesday, make a plan to vote
and we're gonna see you next week
and it'll be a whole new world.
Don't you dare shut your eyes.
Bye.
Bye.
Bye. Bye.
Bye.
