over here. Sit.

depressing and disturbing.

This one's fun though. Wow, yeah, were the other ones
were depressing? No, they're all fun.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
We're talking about our two favorite decades, the nineties and
two thousands, branching the gens together with the millennials. I'm
your host, Brady Broski. And yeah, this one's all about
Halloween in the nineties, which is much different than Halloween
in twenty twenty four.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
I'm guessing.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
I have two decades of on air and programming Top

Welcome, but you're in a heck of a costume today.
You didn't get the memo, I guess. So we're recording
the Halloween episode on Halloween.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Yeah, and what's happening in this studio right now? It's
very festive, but not Halloween fest right. So this episode
is being recorded on Halloween. We'll be released in November,
and we're surrounded by December decorations for Christmas.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
Yeah, So you know I'm gonna release it tonight because
I feel like we need everybody needs a little Halloween
soccor To do that, we have a couple more hours
left of Halloween. But yeah, they the studio that we're in,
they're gonna flip to Christmas, all Christmas music tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
So they are alert, So they are so they always
like they decorate it to the knives. They get the
trees and the garland and the snowmen everywhere all over here.
And I'm in a dunk King's ben Afflack Halloween costumes,
sweating my balls off.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
It was so hot. You look like you're in way
too many layers. Well, there are just two. It's one
too many. It's also it's also eighty degrees, which is weird. Yeah,
we've had we have had a warm fall every time.
Just remember future falls and people are like, we know,
we only get two seasons in the Midwest, summer and winter.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Not this year. Yea, No, it's been it's been fall.
It's been fall like weather. So, yeah, today is all
about Halloween in the nineties. We're gonna talk about the things,
the candy, the costumes, the TV specials, the TV sitcom episodes,
the movies from the nineties.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
So we're gonna start.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
I'm gonna jump right into it because we had a
lot to cover first things. First nineties Halloween costumes, sir?
Are you were you big into Halloween grown up?
Speaker 1 (03:31):
I was growing up. Yeah, I feel like then I
had a gap and then it came back. But yeah,
I will. You know, I did my trick or treating thing.
It was a big thing growing up in ann Arbor, Michigan.
Did all the trick or treating and the dress up
and all that.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
So what would you say would be your favorite costume
from your youth years in the nineties.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
You know, none of my costumes were memorable. I was
like a dorky kid. But I feel like thinking back
like the quinn Essential nineties. When I think nineties Halloween costumes,
I think the we talked in the music episode about
the Nirvana's and the Pearl Jams and the whole grunge era,
and I feel like that's just what I think of
when I think like quintessential nineties costumes. You got the
(04:14):
flannel shirt, combat boots.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Like trying to look grunge for Halloween, right, even though
that's probably what you need right right right, I'm just
gonna go as me.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
That's yeah, it's like extra me. Okay, I don't see.
I don't feel like we dressed that way out of
everyday basis, like we wanted to be those people, but
you went next level on.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Yeah, I never got into that fashion. I think I
was just more a little more sporty at the time. Okay,
and obviously loved music, but I think I was just
more of the wearing the athletic wear at the time.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
Mean, growing up in the nineties, so what'd you dress up?
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Well, this this is gonna be an ongoing theme in
this podcast. You will you will understand. I grew up
so poor, so broke. We didn't have money for things
like stumes, so it was always like a makeshift. It
was never like you wanted to be a power ranger
or like a teenage mutant turtle. You wanted to like
get like store bought things that you know, the kids
(05:11):
down the street had. I went as there was a
hockey masker, Jason, Okay, yeah, there you go, I had,
And when I started playing football, I was a football player.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
I just wore my pads for an extra couple hours.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
So yeah, so I didn't really have like growing up
in the nineties, like a nineties costume.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
That sticks out to me.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
But later in life, probably where you were going I
definitely got more into it and I started thinking about it.
Most of my adult costumes are all from characters from
the nineties. For example, you and I nine years ago,
we did it. Come We did a costume contest right
here at work. Dumb and Dumber, Lloyd Christmas and Harry.
(05:52):
I think we knew. I think we nailed it. I
think we got rob first people.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Yeah we were. I don't know who won, but they
didn't deserve They weren't as memorable as us. No, we
had the and the top hats. It was great. Yeah. Uh,
you know what your nineties costume dress up description reminds us?
Remember the snl Adam Sandler guy who came up with
the last minute Halloween costume character. It was it was
(06:17):
like he'd throw on a hat and be like, I'm
guy who stumbled upon a hat. Guy. That must have
been like a weekend up date here. It was like
a recurring weekend update thing. For sure. I'm the man
who does a mouthing like that. Yeah, yeah, literally, Yeah,
you sound like you do. Remember the skits rich ks
ringing a bell A couple other costumes as as an
adult going back to the nineties, My favorite one of
(06:37):
all Time was a few years ago.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
I was Zach Morris. My smoke Show of a wife
was was Kelly Kapowski. Love That, Love That for her
whole Colgan I've done probably a million times because the
wrestling freaking me Slash was Slash. I think we've hung
out at Halloween parties when I was Slash. So it's
funny that I didn't really get to to dress as
(07:01):
these characters when they are actually twenty.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
Years later, because I done and I did a Rayu
or however you pronounce it from Mortal Komba, which was
actually nineties as well. So good. So we are dressing
as nineties references in the twenty tens and twenty twenties.
We are making up for lost time. D Candy. What
you got? It's your favorite candy? Oh man? I favorite
(07:25):
would probably be Reese's Pieces, which you don't think of
that as a Halloween candy, but they used to get
the little the little fun sized bags. Yeah, the fun size,
the fun size. Well, that's the thing.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
The Halloween candy is every kind of candy there is
smaller for me, there's only one. There's really only one
true Halloween candy. Well, there's two there's candy corn, which
I'd rather I swallow.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
Hate, Yeah, candy, I'd rather swell. I have a lovely
employee who very nicely brought some in for our staff
this week. Uh was it nice fan of the employee,
nice that they brought it, or maybe it was an
attempt to poison them. They're loading it on you guys
because they don't want it in their home. Yeah, that's fair.
(08:04):
Corn peanut butter that would have been my second choice.
I'm all about the Reeses. I mean, the Reese's Pieces
was just a twist on that. But the peanut butter cup.
Every season they do like a different holiday version of
the tree at Christmas, the egg at Easter.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
They just taste, they taste, they taste better than the
actual like normal circle or whatever you get there.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
Yeah circle, this is like the normal like you know, yeah, yeah,
you have the cup. Okay, I see what you're saying. Yeah,
I'm making a gesture with my hand and it looks
kind of dirty. I would go kick Kat too. Has
got to be up there. I just hate one on
the you know, I really crapped on the the Nacho
cheese machine last episode, and I've been feeling guilty about that,
(08:50):
because we do have some pretty uh, pretty epic range
of snacks here at the office, much some of which
some of which aren't orange, and haven't been sitting there
for weeks.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
If you if you brought if you brought in like
a fitness guru or nutritionists, you brought it to nutritionists.
If we interviewed a nutritionist, we would not let allow
them to see our snack room.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
No walking over here. Orange like fluorescent orange cheese dripping
out of the cheese machine, pop tarts, which I believe
was just named the worst snack you can ever consume
because of how many how many grams of sugar are
in them. And we have free will of all. I
like the I like the dried mangoes because I make
(09:33):
myself think that I'm eating fruit, but they're really just
we have dried mangos. Oh yeah, does go quick? Then
don't tell don't cut this out. We can't have people
knowing about the dried mangos. Those are my go to. Okay, anyway,
that has nothing to do with Halloween whatsoever, But I
just wanted to make it's.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
Just why we are going to probably get diabetes from
working TV specials.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
Yes, that's next up.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
Yes, for me, I love and I think you mentioned
this last time, like there's always like a formula for
sitcoms in the nineties. They always had kind of like
the same setup. There's the same, similar, similar plot to
all of them, and I just love when they came on.
It was it was less about the plot and more
just about the ambiance.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
I guess, like the faldness to it. So I have
a few.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
First of all, when I when I was doing research
on this, everything came up like nineties TV, Halloween, everything
came up Nickelodeon, so I guess Rocko's modern life. There
was a Halloween episode, dug all, the Are You Afraid
of the Dark? Of course, the Simpson stuff, treet House
epic that's still going on. Yeah, But for me, it
was the sitcoms. And I have three fresh prints, had
(10:43):
a couple of good ones. Roseanne always brought it. I
thought Roseanne, the Connors, they like loved Halloween, and I
don't know why. I think I related to them because
they were like lower middle class, so I just loved there.
They didn't have a lot of money, but you could
tell like they put most of their i'm and energy
into Halloween. Home Improvement was my Oh yeah, the Home
(11:05):
Improvement Halloween episodes were epic.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
I have such vague I don't now I want to
go back and watch I loved that show.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
Well, Dan, you should go and start with nineteen ninety five.
That's season three.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
The episode is let Them Eat Cake and and this
is my favorite one. This is the episode. It's not
completely Halloween, but it's really it's hilarious. Tim his wife
Jill Taylor to many Taylor al Borlin. I forget his
girlfriend's name at the time, Lily, I don't know. They
go to an award show, a cable award show, local
(11:37):
cable award show.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
It's Halloween nights. What's cable?
Speaker 2 (11:41):
It's this thing that you got all these TV shows
that you didn't want to watch, but you did because
that's all you could watch.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
You couldn't pay like, you got like a channels, and
you only cared about six of them, maybe six seven
on a good day. That was cable.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
So they're at this cable award show and Brad, who
is the oldest son on Home Improvement, through a party
and I remember watching this thinking.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
Brad's so cool. I'm gonna be Brad.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
But there's a couple holes as there normally is in
this Halloween episode because Brad through a party for all
his friends, like thirty kids came over or something like that,
and his parents are only gonna be.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
Gone for two hours. They didn't really think that. One
later did the parents come home? Parents came home a car.
The lesson thems learned. Of course, Wilson had a say
in it. That's the formula, right, and.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Then at the end there's there's I believe there's like
a haunted house thing going on and gets it gets
a little spooky toy.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
It's it's a fun episode.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Let the meat Cake my favorite nineties Halloween sitcom specific episode. Okay,
all right, I got really deep into it, Yeah, really specific.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
Yeah, I'll give you. I'm gonna give you two because
the first one, I mean, I don't know, if you know,
we've known each other a long time. I don't know
if you know how like disturbingly obsessed with friends I
was as a kid. I do, Okay, yeah, do you
know that? Like I had a website that I wrote
(13:11):
articles about the show, and it's Nielsen ratings every week.
It got so many views that Warner Brothers used to
like give me DVDs to advertise and had way to
deal with them to this day. If you google like
friends Nielsen ratings are certain terms. If you google friends
(13:31):
Nielsen ratings, not only will my old ass website be
the first result, Google will actually pull data from it
to give you the answer, like to show you the
average ratings.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
Okay, I'm looking right now above above Wikipedia. I've got
Licos dot com is it?
Speaker 1 (13:48):
Yeah, that's probably me tripod Licos Yep, stop it. It's
like Friends Nielsen ratings a our card. That's literally my
website from what are we twenty create?
Speaker 2 (13:58):
You created the Internet? Are you the original AI to
talk about?
Speaker 1 (14:04):
Hey? Yeah, that'll be I know that's not really nineties relevant.
Thank goodness. Wow, this is you Friends Nielsen Ratings. Here's
an archive. Yah yeah wow. The one thing I'll connect
to Halloween with that is the orange color scheme. If
you actually clicked the link, this.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
One is an orange. This is just black and white.
Somebody ripped off your stuff.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
You must be on one of the specific season pages.
Yeah yeah, yeah, you gotta go to the main page. Okay,
so this got picked up by Warner Brothers. They wanted
to use your material on their show. I would have
been like fifteen, Oh my, that's amazing. Yeah, it's impressive. Okay,
so it's amazing and impressive. Friends is not two words
(14:48):
I would use to describe this, but thank you. You're
real kind.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
So Friends was not one of your favorite episodes after that?
Speaker 1 (14:54):
That being said, no, I so, of course the first
thing that comes to mind for me, it's a friend's
Halloween episode. But I went back and did my research.
There was actually only one formal Halloween episode of Friends
through through all ten seasons. Was it the three? There were? Yeah?
There were, Yeah, there was. It was the party. There
were a lot of dress up episodes. Is the Holiday
(15:16):
Armadillo one of my all time favorite episodes, which is
more like a Hanica Christmas thing. But yeah, the actual
Halloween episode I was thinking of was two thousand and one,
so it technically doesn't meet the criteria. But that was
where I loved their costumes. I loved Joey was dressed
up as Chandler. That was the best part to me.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
Those I just did you laughed for everybody else. You
probably think that.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
I just had a stroke. Yeah's okay, okay, So that
aside I'm going to give you one more and it's
a little bit out of left field, but I it
is the most vivid, like scary TV episode memory I have,
and late at night. I want to say it was
(16:01):
on Fox, but it was syndicated. It might not have
been Fox in all parts of the country. But did
you watch Tales from the Crypt?
Speaker 2 (16:08):
I sneaked it at my friend's house because it was
on HBO and no chance in hell did we have HBO.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
No, we didn't. I didn't have cable either, but maybe
later on it got syndicated.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Yeah, But so I watched it early on when I
really should not have been watching it.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
Yeah, but it's scary, Yeah, it's scary. I watched it
like after my parents and sister went to sleep. I
feel like it came on maybe like after SNL. Maybe
I'd flip over to Fox and it scared the crap
out of me, but I just kept watching it. I kid,
you know, you did dumb things when you're a kid.
So this episode apparently originally aired in nineteen ninety. I
(16:44):
definitely I would have been eight. There's no way I
watched it at that point, so I must have seen
it sometime mid nineties. But it's and it's the only
Tales of the Crypt episode that scared me so badly
that like, I couldn't tell you the storyline of any
other episode other than this one, and even I've probably
seen dozens and dozens of them around that age. It
was called Cutting Cards, and it's two characters playing a
(17:08):
high stakes poker game where they keep increasing what they're wagering,
and it gets to the point where they're wagering their
own fingers, so if someone loses a hand, they cut
off their own finger and you know, they show its
tails from the Crypt, so you see it up close,
you see them. It's it scared the Jesus out of me,
and it like lived with me to that day. It's
(17:29):
like the first thing I think when I think like
scary nineteen nineties TV episode, the Cutting Cards episode of
Tales from the Crypt. That's a great one.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
In the mascot that they had whatever that dude, oh yeah,
the intro that guy was, Oh yeah, they did a
good job with that. I would like to go back
and watch it now because as a kid, I'm sure
the graphics from the nineties would.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
We find it at all, so we'd probably sit there
and just laugh laugh. Yeah, And I think that's what
they were going for. They were going for stoners, right,
Like that's gonna say nine year old children pople and
watch a couple episodes of that. That sounds fun. Yeah, yeah,
all right, all right, well, let me know what we're
doing this weekend.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
Switching over to movies from the nineties Halloween edition of
the podcast. So for me there, I mean, there's a bunch. Obviously,
I started at the top. I am not a fan
of hocus Pocus. I tried. I think maybe I it
came out in ninety three, I think maybe, I think
maybe I was just a little distracted to like sit
(18:31):
down and enjoy its goofiness and you were in.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
Your like rebellion grew the world, yeah years, So I
think that pocus Pocus doesn't align with that.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
It doesn't, it does not, so uh so I skipped
over that instead. I went there's the Adams Family with
that featuring and featuring the mc hammer smash.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
The grew the Adams grew top ten. Maybe it was
up there.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
There was double double Toil in trouble that I mean
that epic movie that was The The Olsen Twins. Okay,
Mary Kate Nashley had had made for TV special Life.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
Honest, I don't know that I've ever seen that, don't noted.
I think scream scream, yeah, okay, but I mean so epic.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
Yeah, you could still go to like the CVS and
grab a screen mask for Halloween and people.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
That is one of probably the most recognizable like scary masks.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
But the scariest movie for me isn't The Olsen Twins.
Deadly is in the Adams Family or Hocus Pocus Blair
Witch Oh yeah, Project oh yeah. And here's why that
movie came out late nineties. There was no spoilers. There
was no I mean, the Internet was there, but it
wasn't the internet that we have now.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
Everybody thought that was real. Yeah, well that's what I
was gonna say. I mean, the thing about right, there
was and there wasn't like a way to fact check it.
There wasn't. Yeah that movie you went and saw it
in a theater and you thought you were watching someone
who brought a handheld video camera into the woods and
horrifying stuff. The actors Dan, the actors and actresses hid
(20:11):
for a year after the movie was filmed.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
I did not know so that when it came out,
nobody would be like, oh, yeah, yeah, Jimmy's we just
hung out, you know, at the local bar. No, they
went to hiding to legitimize this, this movie and this
this concept, which at the time was brilliant, and it
was all yeah, it was all filmed kind of with
the old school camquarder point of view. And I remember
(20:36):
walking out and everybody because we watched it, we saw
the previews.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
They did a good job marketing.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
I was also the perfect age to be that gullible,
and we walked out and everybody strangers you never met,
or walking out of the theater together. Everybody's like, is
that real? Like was that actually? I think that was real?
And then they they they got it. But yeah, So
Blair Witch Project for me, scariest movie I had to
do with, you know, the time, that time in my life,
(21:02):
so gullible and the way that.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
It just felt so real.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
Because you can watch a Stephen King movie it could
be scary and you have nightmares, but at the end
of the day you're like, it's a movie sounding.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
That's that's fair. I think those are great. What is yours? Well,
you put scream on that scariest definitely Casper, terrifying that
that ghost it friendly he was not no, no no,
And they had a beautiful ballad at the end of that.
Uh do you remember the song? Absolutely not. I was thirteen.
(21:35):
We owned it on VHS. Casper, that's that was scary,
you know, youth took my I mean scream I had
for scary. That's just the most memorable one for me, Blair,
which is I don't know how you topped that, so
you got my scary ones I mean Casper. I feel
like just such a memorable, quintessential nineties movie Scar Great.
(21:57):
If you watched it now, would look like, uh, someone
cut out a shadow in paper and just was moving
it around on a clear popsicle stick like special effects
probably don't stay on the test of time.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
Right, Let's watch it in h D four and see
see the outcome of what who.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
Is there's Was there an actor actress that we were
famous from that movie from Casper?
Speaker 2 (22:21):
Why do I want to say, Devin see wah does
that sound familiar?
Speaker 1 (22:26):
It's oh? Man, No, he was like a heart throb.
Christina Christia, ri Bill Pullman. Oh, it's all star cast
right then? Right, Okay, that's not bad Casper's pretty good.
I think underrated. No, showing up thats a different mel
Gibson for sure. That's like Melvin Gibson. Wait, what was
(22:48):
the name you said? Devin de Yeah, okay, Casper.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
Yeah, he was on He was probably on a few
like Team Beat magazines back in the day.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
Wow, I think I've said too much.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
So in this episode we have uncovered I know the
name Devin sewah, and Dan has created an entire Warner
Brothers dedicated when series to Friends.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
I love it. Literally, mel Gibson was in Casper. No,
I'm just taking on the role of your live fact
checker on this podcast. Uh you want to know what
character mel Gibson played in Casper. He wasn't. He wasn't Casper. No,
that was the mel Gibson played the role of mel Gibson. Interesting,
(23:38):
he played himself in a cameo that I do not
have any recollection of whatsoever.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
And that's one of your favorites, very memorable movie that
I was thirteen.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
Oh man, how do we do remember what I did yesterday?
You expect me to remember thirty years ago? I did not.

Speaker 2 (01:04):
We're talking about our two favorite decades, the nineties and
two thousands, branching the gens together with the millennials. I'm
your host, Brady Broski. And yeah, this one's all about
Halloween in the nineties, which is much different than Halloween
in twenty twenty four.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
I'm guessing.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
I have two decades of on air and programming Top
forty radio experience currently on air at Kiss FM here

I saw come up in my time the other day? Yep,

Welcome, but you're in a heck of a costume today.
You didn't get the memo, I guess. So we're recording
the Halloween episode on Halloween.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Yeah, and what's happening in this studio right now? It's
very festive, but not Halloween fest right. So this episode
is being recorded on Halloween. We'll be released in November,
and we're surrounded by December decorations for Christmas.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
Yeah, So you know I'm gonna release it tonight because
I feel like we need everybody needs a little Halloween
soccor To do that, we have a couple more hours
left of Halloween. But yeah, they the studio that we're in,
they're gonna flip to Christmas, all Christmas music tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
So they are alert, So they are so they always
like they decorate it to the knives. They get the
trees and the garland and the snowmen everywhere all over here.
And I'm in a dunk King's ben Afflack Halloween costumes,
sweating my balls off.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
It was so hot. You look like you're in way
too many layers. Well, there are just two. It's one
too many. It's also it's also eighty degrees, which is weird. Yeah,
we've had we have had a warm fall every time.
Just remember future falls and people are like, we know,
we only get two seasons in the Midwest, summer and winter.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Not this year. Yea, No, it's been it's been fall.
It's been fall like weather. So, yeah, today is all
about Halloween in the nineties. We're gonna talk about the things,
the candy, the costumes, the TV specials, the TV sitcom episodes,
the movies from the nineties.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
So we're gonna start.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
I'm gonna jump right into it because we had a
lot to cover first things. First nineties Halloween costumes, sir?
Are you were you big into Halloween grown up?
Speaker 1 (03:31):
I was growing up. Yeah, I feel like then I
had a gap and then it came back. But yeah,
I will. You know, I did my trick or treating thing.
It was a big thing growing up in ann Arbor, Michigan.
Did all the trick or treating and the dress up
and all that.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
So what would you say would be your favorite costume
from your youth years in the nineties.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
You know, none of my costumes were memorable. I was
like a dorky kid. But I feel like thinking back
like the quinn Essential nineties. When I think nineties Halloween costumes,
I think the we talked in the music episode about
the Nirvana's and the Pearl Jams and the whole grunge era,
and I feel like that's just what I think of
when I think like quintessential nineties costumes. You got the
(04:14):
flannel shirt, combat boots.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Like trying to look grunge for Halloween, right, even though
that's probably what you need right right right, I'm just
gonna go as me.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
That's yeah, it's like extra me. Okay, I don't see.
I don't feel like we dressed that way out of
everyday basis, like we wanted to be those people, but
you went next level on.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Yeah, I never got into that fashion. I think I
was just more a little more sporty at the time. Okay,
and obviously loved music, but I think I was just
more of the wearing the athletic wear at the time.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
Mean, growing up in the nineties, so what'd you dress up?
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Well, this this is gonna be an ongoing theme in
this podcast. You will you will understand. I grew up
so poor, so broke. We didn't have money for things
like stumes, so it was always like a makeshift. It
was never like you wanted to be a power ranger
or like a teenage mutant turtle. You wanted to like
get like store bought things that you know, the kids
(05:11):
down the street had. I went as there was a
hockey masker, Jason, Okay, yeah, there you go, I had,
And when I started playing football, I was a football player.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
I just wore my pads for an extra couple hours.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
So yeah, so I didn't really have like growing up
in the nineties, like a nineties costume.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
That sticks out to me.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
But later in life, probably where you were going I
definitely got more into it and I started thinking about it.
Most of my adult costumes are all from characters from
the nineties. For example, you and I nine years ago,
we did it. Come We did a costume contest right
here at work. Dumb and Dumber, Lloyd Christmas and Harry.
(05:52):
I think we knew. I think we nailed it. I
think we got rob first people.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Yeah we were. I don't know who won, but they
didn't deserve They weren't as memorable as us. No, we
had the and the top hats. It was great. Yeah. Uh,
you know what your nineties costume dress up description reminds us?
Remember the snl Adam Sandler guy who came up with
the last minute Halloween costume character. It was it was
(06:17):
like he'd throw on a hat and be like, I'm
guy who stumbled upon a hat. Guy. That must have
been like a weekend up date here. It was like
a recurring weekend update thing. For sure. I'm the man
who does a mouthing like that. Yeah, yeah, literally, Yeah,
you sound like you do. Remember the skits rich ks
ringing a bell A couple other costumes as as an
adult going back to the nineties, My favorite one of
(06:37):
all Time was a few years ago.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
I was Zach Morris. My smoke Show of a wife
was was Kelly Kapowski. Love That, Love That for her
whole Colgan I've done probably a million times because the
wrestling freaking me Slash was Slash. I think we've hung
out at Halloween parties when I was Slash. So it's
funny that I didn't really get to to dress as
(07:01):
these characters when they are actually twenty.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
Years later, because I done and I did a Rayu
or however you pronounce it from Mortal Komba, which was
actually nineties as well. So good. So we are dressing
as nineties references in the twenty tens and twenty twenties.
We are making up for lost time. D Candy. What
you got? It's your favorite candy? Oh man? I favorite
(07:25):
would probably be Reese's Pieces, which you don't think of
that as a Halloween candy, but they used to get
the little the little fun sized bags. Yeah, the fun size,
the fun size. Well, that's the thing.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
The Halloween candy is every kind of candy there is
smaller for me, there's only one. There's really only one
true Halloween candy. Well, there's two there's candy corn, which
I'd rather I swallow.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
Hate, Yeah, candy, I'd rather swell. I have a lovely
employee who very nicely brought some in for our staff
this week. Uh was it nice fan of the employee,
nice that they brought it, or maybe it was an
attempt to poison them. They're loading it on you guys
because they don't want it in their home. Yeah, that's fair.
(08:04):
Corn peanut butter that would have been my second choice.
I'm all about the Reeses. I mean, the Reese's Pieces
was just a twist on that. But the peanut butter cup.
Every season they do like a different holiday version of
the tree at Christmas, the egg at Easter.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
They just taste, they taste, they taste better than the
actual like normal circle or whatever you get there.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
Yeah circle, this is like the normal like you know, yeah, yeah,
you have the cup. Okay, I see what you're saying. Yeah,
I'm making a gesture with my hand and it looks
kind of dirty. I would go kick Kat too. Has
got to be up there. I just hate one on
the you know, I really crapped on the the Nacho
cheese machine last episode, and I've been feeling guilty about that,
(08:50):
because we do have some pretty uh, pretty epic range
of snacks here at the office, much some of which
some of which aren't orange, and haven't been sitting there
for weeks.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
If you if you brought if you brought in like
a fitness guru or nutritionists, you brought it to nutritionists.
If we interviewed a nutritionist, we would not let allow
them to see our snack room.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
No walking over here. Orange like fluorescent orange cheese dripping
out of the cheese machine, pop tarts, which I believe
was just named the worst snack you can ever consume
because of how many how many grams of sugar are
in them. And we have free will of all. I
like the I like the dried mangoes because I make
(09:33):
myself think that I'm eating fruit, but they're really just
we have dried mangos. Oh yeah, does go quick? Then
don't tell don't cut this out. We can't have people
knowing about the dried mangos. Those are my go to. Okay, anyway,
that has nothing to do with Halloween whatsoever, But I
just wanted to make it's.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
Just why we are going to probably get diabetes from
working TV specials.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
Yes, that's next up.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
Yes, for me, I love and I think you mentioned
this last time, like there's always like a formula for
sitcoms in the nineties. They always had kind of like
the same setup. There's the same, similar, similar plot to
all of them, and I just love when they came on.
It was it was less about the plot and more
just about the ambiance.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
I guess, like the faldness to it. So I have
a few.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
First of all, when I when I was doing research
on this, everything came up like nineties TV, Halloween, everything
came up Nickelodeon, so I guess Rocko's modern life. There
was a Halloween episode, dug all, the Are You Afraid
of the Dark? Of course, the Simpson stuff, treet House
epic that's still going on. Yeah, But for me, it
was the sitcoms. And I have three fresh prints, had
(10:43):
a couple of good ones. Roseanne always brought it. I
thought Roseanne, the Connors, they like loved Halloween, and I
don't know why. I think I related to them because
they were like lower middle class, so I just loved there.
They didn't have a lot of money, but you could
tell like they put most of their i'm and energy
into Halloween. Home Improvement was my Oh yeah, the Home
(11:05):
Improvement Halloween episodes were epic.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
I have such vague I don't now I want to
go back and watch I loved that show.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
Well, Dan, you should go and start with nineteen ninety five.
That's season three.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
The episode is let Them Eat Cake and and this
is my favorite one. This is the episode. It's not
completely Halloween, but it's really it's hilarious. Tim his wife
Jill Taylor to many Taylor al Borlin. I forget his
girlfriend's name at the time, Lily, I don't know. They
go to an award show, a cable award show, local
(11:37):
cable award show.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
It's Halloween nights. What's cable?
Speaker 2 (11:41):
It's this thing that you got all these TV shows
that you didn't want to watch, but you did because
that's all you could watch.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
You couldn't pay like, you got like a channels, and
you only cared about six of them, maybe six seven
on a good day. That was cable.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
So they're at this cable award show and Brad, who
is the oldest son on Home Improvement, through a party
and I remember watching this thinking.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
Brad's so cool. I'm gonna be Brad.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
But there's a couple holes as there normally is in
this Halloween episode because Brad through a party for all
his friends, like thirty kids came over or something like that,
and his parents are only gonna be.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
Gone for two hours. They didn't really think that. One
later did the parents come home? Parents came home a car.
The lesson thems learned. Of course, Wilson had a say
in it. That's the formula, right, and.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Then at the end there's there's I believe there's like
a haunted house thing going on and gets it gets
a little spooky toy.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
It's it's a fun episode.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Let the meat Cake my favorite nineties Halloween sitcom specific episode. Okay,
all right, I got really deep into it, Yeah, really specific.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
Yeah, I'll give you. I'm gonna give you two because
the first one, I mean, I don't know, if you know,
we've known each other a long time. I don't know
if you know how like disturbingly obsessed with friends I
was as a kid. I do, Okay, yeah, do you
know that? Like I had a website that I wrote
(13:11):
articles about the show, and it's Nielsen ratings every week.
It got so many views that Warner Brothers used to
like give me DVDs to advertise and had way to
deal with them to this day. If you google like
friends Nielsen ratings are certain terms. If you google friends
(13:31):
Nielsen ratings, not only will my old ass website be
the first result, Google will actually pull data from it
to give you the answer, like to show you the
average ratings.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
Okay, I'm looking right now above above Wikipedia. I've got
Licos dot com is it?
Speaker 1 (13:48):
Yeah, that's probably me tripod Licos Yep, stop it. It's
like Friends Nielsen ratings a our card. That's literally my
website from what are we twenty create?
Speaker 2 (13:58):
You created the Internet? Are you the original AI to
talk about?
Speaker 1 (14:04):
Hey? Yeah, that'll be I know that's not really nineties relevant.
Thank goodness. Wow, this is you Friends Nielsen Ratings. Here's
an archive. Yah yeah wow. The one thing I'll connect
to Halloween with that is the orange color scheme. If
you actually clicked the link, this.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
One is an orange. This is just black and white.
Somebody ripped off your stuff.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
You must be on one of the specific season pages.
Yeah yeah, yeah, you gotta go to the main page. Okay,
so this got picked up by Warner Brothers. They wanted
to use your material on their show. I would have
been like fifteen, Oh my, that's amazing. Yeah, it's impressive. Okay,
so it's amazing and impressive. Friends is not two words
(14:48):
I would use to describe this, but thank you. You're
real kind.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
So Friends was not one of your favorite episodes after that?
Speaker 1 (14:54):
That being said, no, I so, of course the first
thing that comes to mind for me, it's a friend's
Halloween episode. But I went back and did my research.
There was actually only one formal Halloween episode of Friends
through through all ten seasons. Was it the three? There were? Yeah?
There were, Yeah, there was. It was the party. There
were a lot of dress up episodes. Is the Holiday
(15:16):
Armadillo one of my all time favorite episodes, which is
more like a Hanica Christmas thing. But yeah, the actual
Halloween episode I was thinking of was two thousand and one,
so it technically doesn't meet the criteria. But that was
where I loved their costumes. I loved Joey was dressed
up as Chandler. That was the best part to me.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
Those I just did you laughed for everybody else. You
probably think that.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
I just had a stroke. Yeah's okay, okay, So that
aside I'm going to give you one more and it's
a little bit out of left field, but I it
is the most vivid, like scary TV episode memory I have,
and late at night. I want to say it was
(16:01):
on Fox, but it was syndicated. It might not have
been Fox in all parts of the country. But did
you watch Tales from the Crypt?
Speaker 2 (16:08):
I sneaked it at my friend's house because it was
on HBO and no chance in hell did we have HBO.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
No, we didn't. I didn't have cable either, but maybe
later on it got syndicated.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Yeah, But so I watched it early on when I
really should not have been watching it.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
Yeah, but it's scary, Yeah, it's scary. I watched it
like after my parents and sister went to sleep. I
feel like it came on maybe like after SNL. Maybe
I'd flip over to Fox and it scared the crap
out of me, but I just kept watching it. I kid,
you know, you did dumb things when you're a kid.
So this episode apparently originally aired in nineteen ninety. I
(16:44):
definitely I would have been eight. There's no way I
watched it at that point, so I must have seen
it sometime mid nineties. But it's and it's the only
Tales of the Crypt episode that scared me so badly
that like, I couldn't tell you the storyline of any
other episode other than this one, and even I've probably
seen dozens and dozens of them around that age. It
was called Cutting Cards, and it's two characters playing a
(17:08):
high stakes poker game where they keep increasing what they're wagering,
and it gets to the point where they're wagering their
own fingers, so if someone loses a hand, they cut
off their own finger and you know, they show its
tails from the Crypt, so you see it up close,
you see them. It's it scared the Jesus out of me,
and it like lived with me to that day. It's
(17:29):
like the first thing I think when I think like
scary nineteen nineties TV episode, the Cutting Cards episode of
Tales from the Crypt. That's a great one.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
In the mascot that they had whatever that dude, oh yeah,
the intro that guy was, Oh yeah, they did a
good job with that. I would like to go back
and watch it now because as a kid, I'm sure
the graphics from the nineties would.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
We find it at all, so we'd probably sit there
and just laugh laugh. Yeah, And I think that's what
they were going for. They were going for stoners, right,
Like that's gonna say nine year old children pople and
watch a couple episodes of that. That sounds fun. Yeah, yeah,
all right, all right, well, let me know what we're
doing this weekend.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
Switching over to movies from the nineties Halloween edition of
the podcast. So for me there, I mean, there's a bunch. Obviously,
I started at the top. I am not a fan
of hocus Pocus. I tried. I think maybe I it
came out in ninety three, I think maybe, I think
maybe I was just a little distracted to like sit
(18:31):
down and enjoy its goofiness and you were in.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
Your like rebellion grew the world, yeah years, So I
think that pocus Pocus doesn't align with that.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
It doesn't, it does not, so uh so I skipped
over that instead. I went there's the Adams Family with
that featuring and featuring the mc hammer smash.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
The grew the Adams grew top ten. Maybe it was
up there.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
There was double double Toil in trouble that I mean
that epic movie that was The The Olsen Twins. Okay,
Mary Kate Nashley had had made for TV special Life.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
Honest, I don't know that I've ever seen that, don't noted.
I think scream scream, yeah, okay, but I mean so epic.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
Yeah, you could still go to like the CVS and
grab a screen mask for Halloween and people.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
That is one of probably the most recognizable like scary masks.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
But the scariest movie for me isn't The Olsen Twins.
Deadly is in the Adams Family or Hocus Pocus Blair
Witch Oh yeah, Project oh yeah. And here's why that
movie came out late nineties. There was no spoilers. There
was no I mean, the Internet was there, but it
wasn't the internet that we have now.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
Everybody thought that was real. Yeah, well that's what I
was gonna say. I mean, the thing about right, there
was and there wasn't like a way to fact check it.
There wasn't. Yeah that movie you went and saw it
in a theater and you thought you were watching someone
who brought a handheld video camera into the woods and
horrifying stuff. The actors Dan, the actors and actresses hid
(20:11):
for a year after the movie was filmed.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
I did not know so that when it came out,
nobody would be like, oh, yeah, yeah, Jimmy's we just
hung out, you know, at the local bar. No, they
went to hiding to legitimize this, this movie and this
this concept, which at the time was brilliant, and it
was all yeah, it was all filmed kind of with
the old school camquarder point of view. And I remember
(20:36):
walking out and everybody because we watched it, we saw
the previews.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
They did a good job marketing.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
I was also the perfect age to be that gullible,
and we walked out and everybody strangers you never met,
or walking out of the theater together. Everybody's like, is
that real? Like was that actually? I think that was real?
And then they they they got it. But yeah, So
Blair Witch Project for me, scariest movie I had to
do with, you know, the time, that time in my life,
(21:02):
so gullible and the way that.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
It just felt so real.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
Because you can watch a Stephen King movie it could
be scary and you have nightmares, but at the end
of the day you're like, it's a movie sounding.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
That's that's fair. I think those are great. What is yours? Well,
you put scream on that scariest definitely Casper, terrifying that
that ghost it friendly he was not no, no no,
And they had a beautiful ballad at the end of that.
Uh do you remember the song? Absolutely not. I was thirteen.
(21:35):
We owned it on VHS. Casper, that's that was scary,
you know, youth took my I mean scream I had
for scary. That's just the most memorable one for me, Blair,
which is I don't know how you topped that, so
you got my scary ones I mean Casper. I feel
like just such a memorable, quintessential nineties movie Scar Great.
(21:57):
If you watched it now, would look like, uh, someone
cut out a shadow in paper and just was moving
it around on a clear popsicle stick like special effects
probably don't stay on the test of time.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
Right, Let's watch it in h D four and see
see the outcome of what who.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
Is there's Was there an actor actress that we were
famous from that movie from Casper?
Speaker 2 (22:21):
Why do I want to say, Devin see wah does
that sound familiar?
Speaker 1 (22:26):
It's oh? Man, No, he was like a heart throb.
Christina Christia, ri Bill Pullman. Oh, it's all star cast
right then? Right, Okay, that's not bad Casper's pretty good.
I think underrated. No, showing up thats a different mel
Gibson for sure. That's like Melvin Gibson. Wait, what was
(22:48):
the name you said? Devin de Yeah, okay, Casper.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
Yeah, he was on He was probably on a few
like Team Beat magazines back in the day.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
Wow, I think I've said too much.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
So in this episode we have uncovered I know the
name Devin sewah, and Dan has created an entire Warner
Brothers dedicated when series to Friends.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
I love it. Literally, mel Gibson was in Casper. No,
I'm just taking on the role of your live fact
checker on this podcast. Uh you want to know what
character mel Gibson played in Casper. He wasn't. He wasn't Casper. No,
that was the mel Gibson played the role of mel Gibson. Interesting,
(23:38):
he played himself in a cameo that I do not
have any recollection of whatsoever.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
And that's one of your favorites, very memorable movie that
I was thirteen.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
Oh man, how do we do remember what I did yesterday?
You expect me to remember thirty years ago? I did not.
