Halloween: It's Lollies NOT Candy.

On Halloween Russell knew that Lisa would have some thoughts on the occasion.

Lisa had some requests to keep the birds safe and wanted to set the record straight on "candy". 

Meanwhile Russell gave us a mini history lesson on how Halloween began.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's the thirty first of October. It's the last day
of octoger and say it. There's a data celebrate.

Speaker 2 (00:06):
It's Halloween.

Speaker 1 (00:07):
It's Halloween.

Speaker 2 (00:08):
There you go, and you want me to some you
want me to say something terrible about it. I don't
want to.

Speaker 1 (00:14):
I don't want to say anything terrible that. I just
know your stamps.

Speaker 2 (00:17):
I have thoughts on Halloween, but not very many. Look,
here's the deal. If you want to do Halloween, knock
yourself out. If it doesn't affect me, I could not
care less. But there's just two things. Stop up, please
please shops stop selling that nasty, cheap rubbish that people

(00:37):
put in their front yard that chokes birds. Stop take
it away at the source. Stop selling it the spiderweb
be stuff. It is not good. And secondly, we are Australians.
It's lollies. It's not candy. Please stop saying candy. We

(00:58):
eat lollies and we eat chocolate. Candy is an iggy
pop song with the girl from the B fifty two's
Guests singing on it or Tory Spelling's mother. Candy is
not what we eat here in US Stralia got that Other.

Speaker 1 (01:18):
Than that, go for you life and also probably.

Speaker 2 (01:21):
Sixteen hundred baby size Snickers tonight if you need.

Speaker 1 (01:25):
To, but you won't be getting them from Lisa, so
probably don't bother.

Speaker 2 (01:28):
You don't bother knocking on my door because I don't
will there will be no candy, no lollies, no chocolate. Yeah,
I've got some calor mater olives in the fridge. I
could probably do you one of those.

Speaker 1 (01:38):
Of course, a lot of people say that it's American, which, look,
it's been commercialized. It goes back two thousand.

Speaker 2 (01:44):
Hard on it, but it's because it was It was
Celtic Scotti.

Speaker 1 (01:47):
Oh Celtic, Yeah, and it was the Irish immigrants who
took it to America and then in later years they
obviously commercialized it and that's how it made its way here.
And the reason why it never made it to Australia,
even though lots of Irish came to Australia is the
fact that it was celebrating the end of summer and
the harvest going into autumn, and of course we're in

(02:08):
spring going into summer, so it kind of didn't really work,
which is why. But hey, if you can sell a bundle,
you're going to do it. So to those who celebrate
Happy Halloween, and I hope you get lots and lots
of lollies tonight
