Speaker 1 (00:08):
Hi, friends, Welcome to You're Lucky Dip. It's Halloween special
of this podcast. It's a male monty.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
I like Halloween.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
I love the decorations and the scariness of Halloween, and
one day I want to go to New York for
that experience. I fucking hate the sugar, the kids just
binging on the lollies, my hat that the my street
wearing is the main street and there is thousands of
people that gather like it's you can't even move.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
I don't think we've had one trick or treater for
the last ten fifteen years.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
Yeah, now we one kid. Our lollies go literally within
a minute, and that's not even exaggeration. Will they do
then if.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
You when you run out, you just say sorry, we've
run out.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
Everyone ends up having signs out the front, no more
lollies on their gay and stuff because they run out. Literally,
there's that many, like this area is the area for Halloween.
So then they run out within minutes. So the kids
are just roaming the street and then it gets a
bit dark and the teenagers go out and throw their
eggs and stuff like that, Like it gets a bit
full on here. Last year I had kids jumping out
(01:17):
back fence randomly. I'm like, what's going on?
Speaker 2 (01:21):
I just think about all the little ADHD kids like
me who are always running late.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
Yeah, and then they miss out and they miss out totally.
And I was like, my kids don't do sleepovers very often.
Baxter does, but Arlow doesn't because he wakes up at
like fucking five am. So I'm like, no, not until
you sleep in. And he's desperate for a sleepover with
one of his buddies on Halloween, and I'm like, that,
of all nights, is my worst night for you to
have a sleepover with another little neurodivergent kid. They'll be
(01:51):
bouncing off the walls and you just can't understand it.
And I feel like going because you will be a
massive fuckhead after you've had that many imagine you could
just say that. Oh anyway, I looked up three really
quick but scary stories, and I was laying on the
couch last night and it was dark and I was
getting goosebumps, like I was legit scared. So if you
(02:12):
can wait and save this and listen to it in
your bed at nighttime, you will get the goosies. Yeah,
all right, And these are true stories. This one's called
The Watcher of Westfield. Have you heard this one? Mal?
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Is this about the letters to the house?
Speaker 1 (02:28):
Yes, well, don't get away, okay.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
You know this is this is a like you can
watch this on Netflix and stuff you. Yeah, they did
a series about it with I think Naomi Watts was
in it. Yeah, and this heaps its Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
God, the Watcher sounds familiar, but anyway, here's a story
in a nutshell. In twenty fourteen, a New Jersey family
bought their dream home, a big, beautiful house on six
five seven Boulevard in Westfield, but right before they moved in,
they started getting creepy hand written letters from someone calling
(03:02):
themselves the Watcher. The letter said things like six five
seven Boulevard has been the subject of my family for decades.
I am in charge of watching and waiting for its
second coming. Have they found what's in the walls yet? Question?
Speaker 2 (03:16):
Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
The writer mentioned the couple who bought it their kids' names,
and said he was watching them play police investigator. But
no one was ever caught, and the family was so
terrified that they never moved in, and they sold the
house at a huge loss. So no one knows till today.
Who the watcher is.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
It's such a gamble, unknown gamble because it could be
just some dickhead with nothing better to do than to
fuck with you, or it could be a psycho.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
I know, I know, yeah I would. I would be
terrified to move into a house. But once you bought
a house, it's a pretty big deal to sell it. Then. Yeah,
this one's awful. It's called the Halloween baby monitor. In
twenty thirteen, a young couple in Idaho set up a
baby monitor to keep an eye on their two year
old daughter. Everything was normal until one October night, right
(04:07):
before Halloween. The mother woke up to a strange male
voice coming from the monitor. The voice said, wake up,
little girl, Daddy's coming for you. She ran into her
daughter's room. The baby was fast asleep, but when she
looked at the camera, it was moving on its own,
slowly following her around the room. Someone had hacked into
(04:29):
the Wi Fi baby monitor and was watching them live,
and the FBI later confirmed that multiple cases of strangers
hacking into monitors and speaking through them to the kids
had been happening. That fucked.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
I remember when my kids were little. The bait looking
at the baby monitor. It used to always scare me
because that baby monitor, the little camera. I was like, oh,
this is this is like they show on TV that
then like it's an unknown, shadowy fear I see in
my head a ghost or something when I looked at it.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
That's fuck. So just a voice coming through, which reminded me.
Totally different topic of cross lines. How good would cross lines.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Up?
Speaker 1 (05:15):
And then you'd hear like Judith and Margaret having no
and you'd got old chat yes, and then occasionally you'd
say something it'd be like did you hear that? Oh
my god? It was such It was the most exhilarating
exciting thing, because nothing is better for me that I
love more than ears dropping. Like if I'm out for
lunch and I can hear another other couple talking, I
(05:37):
zone into them. So the fact that sometimes it would
happen on your own home phone is oh my god.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
It was like winning tats lotto. That was so few
and far between. It was seen one of the wonders
of the world. That's so true.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
I bloody loved that, all right. Here's the last one,
The Girl in the Woods. In two fifteen, a group
of friends went camping in a remote forest in Oregon
already lost me remote forest camping. They set up their tents,
built a fire, and settled in for the night. Around midnight,
one of them heard soft singing, a childlike voice, coming
(06:13):
from deep in the woods. Curious, they shined a flashlight
but saw nothing. The singing kept coming closer and closer,
but there were no footprints, no paths, nothing, just the voice. Panicked,
the friends packed up and left. Immediately later, park rangers
told them a young girl had gone missing in the
woods years earlier and her body was never found, and
(06:37):
after that night the forest was officially closed for people
camping in it.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
Nothing good ever happens in a forest.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
No, it doesn't know what happens.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
People go hunting and they kill things.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
Yep, dead bodies are planted. There a bear at you.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
You're camping, just camping in general, just campings. Terrified people
are digging holes and shitting in them.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
Yes, there's a lot of snakes and nah, there's nothing
like Some people love getting into nature. I'm like, fucking
give me a brick jungle.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
The woods.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
It's very American. The woods. I feel like we don't
have woods.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Here, forests or whatever that is, like whatever the most
level anti bucket list activities. That's got to be number one.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
The forest yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
The isolation, yeah, the no one around, like the bad,
bad things happen in the woods.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
That's what people get. Love. It would be the isolation
that cutting off from just everything.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
That would be my worst nightmare. Sitting alone alone would
be terrible. My thoughts so crazy, I would go insane
or write a best selling book.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Could go on exactly. Let's go that way. We're out
of here for the day. Everyone, Thank you so much
for listening. We hope you either love Halloween or at
least survive it.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
And would you have me a humbug around bloody Halloween people.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
When they're like, oh, it's just a commercial, haloney, it's
so American. My kids, it's their favorite. They love it
more than Christmas. Is so much. I wish we got
into it more.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Dear me too.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
I wish like the streets were fully decorated and there
was so much like in Canada or in America. It's
just fucking huge and most people here just hate it.
I hate the lowly side, but outside of that, I
love the scary stuff.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Yes, same, All.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
Right bye for now, everyone will chat too soon.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
Love you is

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
