Speaker 1 (00:00):
Trick or treat. It's one more thing. I'm strong Andy,
one more thing before we talk a little Halloween. On
this day before Halloween, came across this tweet, which I
thought was funny. This guy said, I live in constant
(00:21):
fear that Trump will deport my Latina mother in law,
who lives at eighteen thirty seven Third Street, Los Angeles,
nine zero zero two three, Blue house. She gets off
work at six. That's pretty funny. That is really good.
So you see he doesn't like his mother in law.
He would like her to be departed. You know. Okay,
(00:41):
you got that his initial fear was actually a mask
he was wearing. Yeah, she was trying to He was
trying to hype in fact, that he doesn't even prefer
his mother in law be around. Good.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
I'll know what I would do without you.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
Guys, do not understand a thing. Oh yeah, we got
something Halloween there, Michael, before I saw Halloween.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
Yeah, my wife and I no, 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 1 (01:21):
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 were kind.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
Of curious, so we went ahead and it was at
our church, and so you know, it's 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 1 (01:47):
It was just it's amazing.
Speaker 3 (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 1 (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 Ceast eight Hunt and
watching adults knockdown little children to get candy. Candy is
practically free, by.
Speaker 4 (02:12):
The way, Yeah yeah, since it's a church event, i'd
be forced to say, buy your own effing candy.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
Brother, I with you.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
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? Dude, aren't you a grown man?
Do you have a job? Right? Can give you any candy?
You brought your baby along as a prop pos weak ass? Yeah,
the truth is and a person must just accept this
in craft of society around this, although progressives don't, is
(02:56):
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
of it, and they're highly annoying, but you just have
to accept it. When did that We talked about this
a lot of the time. When did the trunk or
(03:17):
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,
so we too now we meet it and you know,
have all our cars.
Speaker 4 (03:33):
They might get a hit or crack or a razor blade.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Or so it said, you have them go up to
strangers cars to get candy.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
This seems like a worse concept. Trunk We're all you
got to do is put a bag over the head,
put them in the trunk, off with a done deal. No,
it's generally like a group. It's a church or whatever.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
And the the idea is we've had people right in
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.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
But it was born of paranoia, just ridiculous paranoia in.
Speaker 4 (04:04):
The early days of the Internet and people waking up
in bath tubs with the ice and the note saying
your kidneys have been harvested. It was born right around
the same time.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
I kept thinking about what Jack said. Though you have
to charge a certain amount to get the real.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
As all it takes. I've seen it in action. A
one dollar charge will make a festival so much cleaner
and nicer than a free festival. It's just true. It
doesn't take much to eliminate that crowd. Speaking of prices,
the consumer price index for candy and chewing gum is
up twenty two percent since Biden took office nearly four
(04:41):
years ago.
Speaker 4 (04:42):
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 1 (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. It's practically free plus twenty two percent.
Rich Man, it's amazing what a giant bag of crap costs,
not that much. I feel like the Of course this
(05:14):
is probably true. Obviously this is true. Shrink Flation has
hit the mini candies because they're smaller now than they
even weord before. They're almost to the point of absurdity.
Mike is yes, micro candies.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
The internet wet nuts yesterday or the day before because
a woman got those miniature quote unquote fun sized bags
of Minem's and she's so fun She opened one and
there was one Eminem in the Oh boy, that's not fun.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
It is no funny. Yeah, it was about to say,
I was looking at these kitkats where I think the
energy to unwrap the tinfoil would burn more calories than
the candy bar. So maybe it's a win wall if
you unwrap your M and MS and you have an
M in there heartfe it's it's hard to justify it,
(06:03):
like the packaging or going through the trouble of buying
it and transporting it home from the store. What a
I what are we doing? That's funny. I hadn't even
noticed it till now. How tiny the new bite size,
fun 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
(06:24):
or something, to give you some perspective.
Speaker 4 (06:26):
Look, there ought to be there 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. What kind of candy you got?
Speaker 2 (06:59):
I actually have not gotten it yet.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
What will you get?
Speaker 2 (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 much have the fountain and the fruit
and the kids can stick their fruit in the fountain
and have a couple of bites for the.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
One skewer per child. I 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.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
It all the way give the full sized candy bar.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Yeah, there's a right house. Henry was big on we're
gonna do full size. We're gonna go legend, that's what
he said. We're gonna go legend. Yeah, we get it.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
You're rich, very good, Jack.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
I'm gonna have like six trigger treats. 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 no one.
Speaker 4 (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 1 (08:05):
What if I have them entertain me for a few minutes?
Can you dance or something or some you know what
you can? I have a pull up bar at his
front door.
Speaker 4 (08:13):
Right, I am the Ron Swanson of holidays, Halloween houses.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
Yeah, that's right. 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. Candy
I'm surprising leaves a mark with them.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
Really, I remember, like my last my last year of
trigger treating was one pillowcases got cool. Everybody had their
pillowcase to fill up.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
There you go.
Speaker 4 (08:42):
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 3 (08:53):
If it's fifty calories they got to burn fifty calories
before they can eat it.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
I've a net zero calorie policy. Put them on a treadmill,
little ghost. As soon as the thing on the treadmill
says you've hit fifty calories behind you in the candy bar,
there you go on the next Happy Halloween kid. The
dance not good enough. You can do, you can do.
Come on, you can do better than that. You'd call
(09:19):
that dancing nope slam.
Speaker 3 (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. It's one more thing. I'm strong Andy,
