Speaker 1 (00:00):
Trick or treat.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
It's one more thing.
Speaker 3 (00:03):
I'm shy, one more thing.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Before we talk a little Halloween. On this day before Halloween,
came across this tweet, which I thought was funny.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
This guy said, I live.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
In constant fear that Trump will deport my Latina mother
in law, who lives at eighteen thirty seven Third Street,
Los Angeles, nine or zero two three, Blue house. She
gets off work at six.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
That's pretty funny.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
That is really good.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
So you see he doesn't like his mother in law.
He would like her to be departed.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
You know.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
Okay, you got that.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
His initial fear was actually a mask he was wearing.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
Yeah, she was trying to He was trying to hype
the fact that he doesn't even prefer his mother in
law be around.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
Good.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
I'll know what I would do without you, guys, I
do not understand the thing.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Oh yeah, we got something Halloween there, Michael. Before I
saw Halloween.
Speaker 4 (01:07):
Yeah, my wife and I Now, I like the regular
trick or treating where you take kids to the houses,
but we participated for the first time in what's called
a trick or trunk sure, and that's very popular now,
where a bunch of cars you open up your trunk,
you fill it with candy and.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
All all built over the completely manufacturer fake scare that
has been going on for decades that it's too dangerous
to go door to door. But anyway, so we are
kind of curious.
Speaker 4 (01:32):
So we went ahead and it was at our church,
and so you know, it supposed to be a nice
family event. What we found though, was it was amazing
to us. You had the little kids that were really
cute and it's just fun. But then there were some
families where the adults are here to grab candy.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
It was just it's amazing.
Speaker 4 (01:49):
The number of people that they bring. A little kid
is like they're helping. The adults are grabbing candy for themselves,
and then they walk away and the little kids just
with them, but really isn't getting the candy at all.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
It is quite amazing. I've told the story of being
at an ester a gun as a DJ many many times.
I was the MC of the Seast eight Hunt and
watching adults knock down little children to get candy. Candy
is practically free, by.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
The way, Yeah yeah, since it's a church event, i'd
be forced to say, buy your own effing candy. Brother.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
I had this conversation with.
Speaker 5 (02:21):
You with a friend the other day about if you
have trick or treaters, right, and you have the little
kids that come up, say trick or treat, get the candy.
But then what if you have the couple that brings
their newborn that's dressed up.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
Yeah, you just want candy?
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Dude, aren't you a grown man?
Speaker 1 (02:35):
Do you have a job right?
Speaker 5 (02:36):
Can you give you any candy? You brought your baby
along as a prop.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
Pos weak ass? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (02:48):
The truth is and a person must just accept this
in craft a society around this, although progressives don't, is
that a fair percentage of people will do the wrong
thing on a consistent basis. You cannot trust people to
try hard to take care of themselves to do the
right thing. They just won't. There are a thousand examples
(03:10):
of it, and they're highly annoying.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
But you just have to accept it.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
When did the we talked about this a lot at
the time, when did the trunk or treat thing take off?
It's fine, and I've done it before and it's it's good,
but I just remember how it was born. I remember
it was born of it's too dangerous to go up
to strangers doors in modern America.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
So we too.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
Now we meet it and you know, have all our.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
Cars, they might get a hit, a crack or a
razor blade.
Speaker 5 (03:37):
So it said we have them go up to strangers
cars to get candy.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
This seems like a worse concept.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
Trunk We're all you got to do is put a
bag over the head, put them in the trunk with
a done deal.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
No, it's generally it like a group.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
It's a church or whatever. And the the idea is
we've had people right in and say, no, it's nice
because we all get together with our friends and the
kids play and we know where they are and we
all hang out and talk with our friends, which is fine.
But it was born of paranoia, just ridiculous paranoia in
the early days of the Internet and people waking up
in bath tubs with the ice and the note saying
(04:10):
your kidneys have been harvested. It was born right around
the same time.
Speaker 4 (04:15):
I kept thinking about what Jack said, though you have
to charge a certain amount to get the run as.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
All it takes.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
I've seen it in action. A one dollar charge will
make a festival so much cleaner and nicer than a
free festival.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
It's just true. It doesn't take much to eliminate that crowd.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
Speaking of prices, the consumer price index for candy and
chewing gum is up twenty two percent since Biden took
office nearly four years ago. That's more than twice the
cumulative inflation during Trump's presidency. Twenty two percent more for
your candy and gum. That's Joe Biden's America.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
It is more expensive, but having purchased candy at the
story the other day, it is still practically free to
buy way more candy than you could ever eat in
your lif lifetime.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
It's practically free plus twenty two percent. Rich Man, it's
amazing what a giant bag of crap costs, not that much.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
I feel like the of course this is probably true.
Obviously this is true. Shrink Flation has hit the mini
candies because they're smaller now than they even were before.
They're almost to the point of absurdity. Mike, then it is, yes,
micro candies.
Speaker 5 (05:27):
The internet went nuts yesterday or the day before because
a woman got those miniature quote unquote fun sized bags
of Eminem's, and she's so fun. She opened one and
there was one Eminem in the Oh boy, that's not fun.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
It is no funny.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
It is about to say. I was looking at these
kitcats where I think the energy to unwrap the tinfoil
would burn more calories than the candy bar. So maybe
it's a win wall.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
If you unwrap your M and MS and you have
an M in there. That was the heartbeat they it's
it's hard to justify it, like the packaging. We're going
through the trouble of buying it and transporting it to
them from the store. What have I What are we doing?
Speaker 1 (06:10):
That's funny.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
I hadn't even noticed it till now. How tiny the
new bite size, fund size whatever they whatever lie they
call it, How tiny they are. I'll have to I'll
have to do that. Take some pictures at home, like
next to a coin or something to give you some perspective.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
Look, there.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
Ought to be a bust on Madison Avenue for the
guy who cooked up the name fund size. Right, Hey,
what do we what do we call these little candy bars?
We're gonna we're gonna charge actually per ounce fifty percent more.
But anybody got an idea? Yeah, a small sized diet? No, no, no,
that's all negative. Give me something positive.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
Fun size? Do you expect trigger treats where you live, Katie, Yes,
lots of them.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
What kind of candy you got?
Speaker 1 (06:59):
I actually have not gotten it yet. What will you get?
Speaker 5 (07:02):
Oh, I'm thinking of sticking with chocolate this year because
I don't know, I don't like them, Like in what
form do you ladle it out of a pot?
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Or Yes, I'm gonna have a fondue fountain, Jack, Yes,
that'd be funny.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
Have the fountain and the fruit, and the kids can
stick their fruit in the fountain and have a couple
of bites.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
For the one skewer per child.
Speaker 5 (07:22):
I'm thinking like the Snickers and the Reeses and all
the stuff that I like, so that I can eat
it after and we don't give it all away.
Speaker 4 (07:28):
Give the full sized candy bar.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
Yeah, there's a right house. Henry was big on we're
going to do full size. We're gonna go legend.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
That's what he said. We're gonna go legend. Yeah, we
get it. You're rich, very good, Jack.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
I'm gonna have like six trigger treaders, I'm sure. And
I don't I want the candy gone. I don't want
it around the house. I want it gone. Last kid
of the night. You get your basket completely full of
whatever I got left.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
No one has.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
But there's no blanket way. I give out the full
sized candy bars. And I'll tell you why, because those
kids haven't earned it. It's the redistribution of candy. It
ran forces socialist impulses. The free market is how you
get candy?
Speaker 2 (08:05):
What if I have them entertain me for a few minutes?
Can you dance or something or sing?
Speaker 1 (08:09):
You know what you can? I have a pull up
bar at his front door.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
Right, I am the Ron Swanson of holidays, Halloween houses. Yeah,
that's right.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
The joy I used to get from getting candy as
a little kid, I barely remember it, but I remember
it was joyful. I remember it was very, very exciting
because I never was around candy that quantity before. I
think my kids are around so much candy. I'm candy.
I'm surprised leaves a mark with them.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Really.
Speaker 5 (08:35):
I remember, like my last my last year of trick
or treating was one pillowcases got cool. Everybody had their
pillowcase to fill up.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
There you go. I liked the idea of making them dance, dance,
dance for me. I watched for a second. Nope, close
the door.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
I got it. You look at the bar.
Speaker 4 (08:53):
If it's fifty calories, they got to burn fifty calories
before you they can eat it.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
I've a net zero calorie policy. Put them on a treadmill, right,
little ghost.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
As soon as the thing on the treadmill says you've
hit fifty calories behind you in the candy bar, there
you go on.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
Happy Halloween kid.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
The dance not good enough. You can do, you can do.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Come on, you can do better than that.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
You'd call that dancing Nope slam.
Speaker 4 (09:23):
All right, kid, make sure you stretch before you go
to Joe Getty's house. Well, I guess that's it.
Trick or treat.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
It's one more thing.
