listening to this, if you're listeningto this, then you're you're not seeing
(01:47):
what's going on. We are,we're dressed up for Halloween. So,
if you've ever driven by a carwash or an auto dealership, you've seen
those tall tubes that are basically twelvefeet high and are powered by a generator
(02:07):
with air flowing through it, andthey actually wave in the air, and
they bend over, they bend backwards, their arms flail, and they're usually
orange and there's the word sell usuallywritten down the front. I am actually
in one of those costumes. It'sa Onesie. So it's nice. The
(02:28):
material is nice. But man,oh man, do you mean you like
wearing a Onesie? I can getused to this. I gotta be honest.
I see why everybody is so comfortable. Yeah, poor, So I
would say that too if you're seeingwho I am right now, look at
this. So I'm trying to geta character as the way wacky waving,
(02:53):
inflatable arm flailing tube. Men.Second, you gotta get close to the
I mean talking about onesies. Imean I have a baby in my belly
that's doing how fast Porsche? Sixweeks six weeks until baby brother arrives.
So when you start talking about onepie, oh my god, my GODPI
(03:20):
listen, we might have to doa shout out to Olivia Rodrigo, because
I just want to tell you something. My daughter, this is totally a
Halloween thing since that's song and damnvampire. My daughter thinks that every other
day she should change her costume andbecome a damn vampire. Wow, this
is she's Actually, she's growing upfast. She's also taken over our podcast.
(03:43):
If you see, she's got acomplete disregard talks all over us.
She you know, I don't know. We may have to give her her
own microphone pretty soon. What doyou think. I think we might have
to, But it's scary. Igotta tell you. It was so much
fun, so much fun looking fora costume this year because my norm is,
you know, extremely small, littlecostumes that I'm running off to these
(04:06):
parties and having fun. Right yeah, And my life changed when I had
Porsche and it became costumes that hadto do with Porsche. And I have
to tell you we haven't been inNew York for a Halloween. Okay.
We've been kind of traveling and havingto go other places for the last few
(04:27):
and this year we are in lovelyNew York for our Halloween and you have
the complete fall going on, andPorsa and I were trying to figure out
what costume to wear because, asyou know, unlike when you're in LA,
you have a season issue and itgets cold here like out of nowhere.
It was seventy degrees on Saturday.It was gorgeous, and now it's
(04:51):
gonna be like what thirty tomorrow forkids to treat it ridiculous. It's the
temperature fluctuations what's going to cause everybodyto get sick. Now now, okay,
so now here's my problem I havewith Halloween. If we may get
into it. We can get intoit when Halloween falls on a weekday like
(05:14):
it does this year, on aTuesday, or even next year when it's
going to be a Wednesday, ifit's not leapier or Thursday, anyway,
when it moves through the week,because it's disruptive because Halloween is always October
thirty first, no matter what dayof the you know, no matter what
year it is. So we justcame off of what we call hallow weekend
(05:35):
where most people who work regular jobsnine to five Monday to Friday, they
had their parties. So I wasout on Friday and Saturday night and people
were in full costume, which leadsme to believe that they're celebrating their Halloween.
Then, however, when it comesto trigger treaters and other things in
(05:56):
dressing up at school, Halloween isstill the thirty first. Now there are
also people I know that are throwingbig parties for Halloween tomorrow night, but
I can't. They wanted me tojudge a Halloween costume contest at one of
our friend's big parties that he does, and it's a Tuesday night. The
costume contest is at midnight. Iwon't get home till two in the morning.
(06:18):
I'm not trying to be a crabbyold bastard cover your kid's years,
but I mean, you'd be supertired. I would be Porscha gets it.
I would have to wake up forwork at four in the morning.
So I don't know. In recentyears, there's been this movement and take
(06:41):
a face to that. Sorry.In recent years, there's been this move
and this petition out there to havemoved Halloween to the last Saturday in October.
This way everyone gets to play,or a lot of people do.
The people of the service industry,you're working overtime, but for the majority
(07:01):
of the people it's safer because youknow, you don't. You know what
I'm saying. You don't have towake up early the next day. You
think about the parties, think aboutthe alcohol, think about the costume prep.
I just think it's gonna it wouldbe a better play for everyone to
celebrate the now the last Saturday ofthe month. What do you think about
that? What are your thoughts?Okay, so basically you're asking me if
(07:25):
I think we should change Halloween fromOctober thirty first to the last Saturday of
October every year. Yeah, that'swhat you think. That's what you're putting
out there. Well, it's notmy idea. Listen, it's been vocalized
on my morning show by Elvis.I've seen petitions for it online. I
don't know. I don't know whatthe answer. I think it's a pretty
(07:46):
good idea, though, I canget on board with that. Wow.
Okay, So I'm all for theparty idea and the fact that the main
parties do go off on a Fridayand Saturday night. We all know that,
right, I mean, the bestof the best happens on a weekend.
It's not gonna happen on a Tuesdaynight of cans. So here's the
(08:07):
problem. You're so discract. I'msorry. I'm in character right now.
I'm flailing. I'm doing the wackywaving base. The problem scary. There
is something too Halloween that's supposed tobe scary, that's supposed to be Yeah,
like zombie, a zombie. Shethought you were a French fry when
you first got on, and thenshe thought you were a zombie. Okay,
(08:30):
this is a fail, fat yeah, because you got French fries.
Radio. You can't see you standingthe camera. Tell him now you have
flat flights hanging off. Thank you, Portia, Go ahead, hold on
a second, hang on, hangon. So here's the thing. I
(08:52):
think that it'd be great except forone thing. Do you understand why it
occurs on October thirty first every year? There's something to be said about it.
Okay, So here's here's a littletidbit of a share nose before we
actually get into the rest of ourpodcast. Halloween follows traditions, right,
and they're from the ancient Gaelic festivalof saw Win. All right, that's
(09:13):
what it's from. And the festivalwould occur on November first, but it
would start the evening before. Sothe idea was October thirty first, Okay,
put it down here. The ideais that October thirty first would always
be the date of Halloween. Soalthough I think that everything in life has
(09:33):
to change eventually and there's a reasonfor change and change is good, I
don't know if you'll get everybody todo that because so far it's such a
tradition. It's like changing Christmas.She yelled into the microphone. I understand
what you said. What she yelledinto the microphone. What was the last
thing you said. I didn't hearyou. Oh, it would be like
(09:56):
changing Christmas, like you can't change. That's that's my side of it that
I don't think. But that okay, because how do you make Christmas?
Like December twenty fifth is Christmas?Okay? Right, follow me on this
one. The difference there would beChristmas is marks something that's I don't know,
pretty popular day, the birth ofChrist. Right, do people really
(10:20):
remember this Gaelic holiday from way backwhen? Or you know, is there
any religion tied to it? No? You know, so I don't think
we're offending. I don't think we'reoffending anybody. Then hold on, hold
on, there is some stuff thatis tied to it. That's where you
go back to this whole. Somepeople say, there's two answers to this
(10:41):
question, okay, and something hasto do with the pagan one and a
Christian one. It has to dowith this festival, but it also goes
back to something with the whole ideaof the souls. Right, All Souls
Day falls on what November first?Well, the day the Day of the
Dead is November first. I'm sorry, all Saints Day and the right all
(11:03):
Saints Day and the Day of theDead in like Southwestern culture. Listen,
I'm just wondering if anyone would beoffended or if anyone even notice if we
changed it. I don't know ifI'd mind, because honestly, I've said,
as soon as I can get backto my my, my party,
it might be something that I woulddefinitely join in on. I mean,
(11:24):
right this moment, at the youknow, six weeks still a baby and
me dressing is tlo Right now,I think I'm okay with it because I
don't want to dress up twice like, so section hold on that. But
that okay, So now you're hittingsomething that people would probably say is part
of the fun of the dressing upfor Halloween. Which leads to the next
thing I wanted to talk about,which was these costumes. Okay, so
(11:48):
there's a few aspects to these costumes, and one of the things that I
was going to tell you was wasthat sometimes people like to dress up a
couple of nights, because as yousee with our celebrities and some of the
parties that I go, whether it'sthe Casablanca party in La or the Maxim
parties or when I was going tothe Playboy party when those were on,
you know, I feel like theidea was to wear different costumes because the
(12:09):
thing I was wearing to the PlayboyMansion was not necessarily the same thing I
was going to be wearing to adifferent party, because the idea was to
be photographed in different costumes. Right, So isn't that kind of part of
playing dress up for Halloween is likeactually changing that costume getting dressed. I
guess it comes down to people wholove playing dress up with people who don't.
I do it because I have to, and I feel like, all
(12:31):
right, it's Halloween. Now tomorrowon our morning show, I will be
wearing this or you know this tameno Now Saturday, I didn't go to
a Halloween party this year for thefirst time in years, and I didn't
have to work or do a contestor host an event. So I was
off on Saturday night for the firsttime in several Halloweens. Oh my god,
(12:54):
can I tell you how embarrassing itwas to go out because me and
my buddy were not dressed up,and we went out to a couple of
bars, and we're walking around andall of Hoboken was not only dressed up,
but it was like ten times theamount of people I've ever seen,
and everyone is trying to get intoall the bars. I had to look
(13:15):
around and find a bar with theleast amount of costumes in it, just
so I could feel normal, becauseI felt out of place not in a
costume. How crazy is that?Okay, so you also picked first of
all, it was crazy to seeyou out the weekend of Halloween weekend without
(13:35):
a costume. If you guys rememberme and Scary even hosted an awesome party
a couple of years of what wasit two years ago? We hosted a
sick Halloween party and we were doingit on a Saturday night. Everything's always
the Saturday before and you always alwayswork gigs the weekend before Halloween. So
when I saw you out with yourboys just having fun, I was like,
(13:56):
wait a second, that's so odd. You're not dressed up by you
also picked a seventy degree October day. I can't even imagine that you even
had the nerve to go out withouta costume on. Like, I was
shocked when I saw it, becauseI knew everybody was gonna be flooding those
bars like there was no tomorrow.Like people were probably so happy to be
(14:18):
out without a jacket over their costumes. I mean, it must have been
insane. And you know, talkingabout these costumes, though, did you
know that the most googled popular costumesthis year I had they're beautiful are Barbie
yep, Spider Man yep, andWednesday Atoms. Okay, you just hit
(14:41):
on two of the three, becausethe most seen costume that I was looking
at as I was walking around aimlesslyfor several hours was both Wednesday Atoms Yeah
and Barbie. I saw a lotof Barbie and a lot of Wednesday Yeah.
I wasn't really sure where this SpiderMan came from, but I guess
it's just a classic kind of holdon a moment. I have a mommy
(15:05):
moment, Mommy moment, mommy moment. How Porsche, Yeah, she's becoming
I gotta I gotta say, she'sbecoming a little diva. Him about hold
on a sec. I wonder whereshe gets it from. Oh, I
have no idea, all right,Porisia. So one of the things that
Porsche, who's also a SAG member, had to deal with this year was
(15:28):
a little controversy that came up becausewe are on our one hundredth and like,
don't totally quote me, but it'ssomewhere between one hundred and six and
one hundred and ten days on strikehere. Yeah, so we are still
on strike, even though by theway, even though the writers went back,
not so they're still on strike,right, So we are still on
strike. And one of the thingsthat came up with SAG was not to
(15:52):
support the studios and show any typeof favoritism towards those outfits that were like
Barbie, which was a studio movie, or you know, Wednesday Adams or
whatever. They didn't want that,and there was a lot of controversy with
actors because they were like, butit's Halloween and that doesn't mean that we're
supporting the studios. It just meansthat we want to get out there and
(16:15):
have some fun. But there werea lot of people that really did believe
that that wasn't the case. I, you know, I kind of didn't
have to worry about it because Winniethe Pooh and Piglet was something that's more
of our classic costume, so Ifell into the classics. But I did
wonder what you thought about that scarylike do you think that's when there's a
(16:37):
couple of things that came up forHalloween that I wanted to ask you,
So, do you think that that'slike a problem if you're you know,
I think it's that is being sonitpicky. I don't think it affects the
strike either way. I don't thinkpeople noticed that you're not supporting it by
not wearing it, And I don'tthink people noticed that you you're in support
(17:00):
or solidarity or if you are.I don't think people think like that.
I think people take the character asthe character, and I think by taking
out what say when is would WednesdayAtams be one of those that's on the
list like who who? Wouldn't yoube like because well, yeah, because
you have to understand that's a streamingshow, right and we and we have
(17:25):
a problem right now with that people. No, I mean you're having a
problem as a union across the boardwith AI, the studios, the streamers,
all of them. Like, there'ssome people that I don't know if
you know this, but there's alot of people that are also repetitioning to
drop, like you know, thetheir streamers right now because they didn't want
to support that. So there's somepeople that really, you know, there's
certain ways people feel that they needto go to support it. In certain
(17:48):
ways, other people feel that's notwhat I need to do. I'm going
to go out on a picket lineor I'm just not gonna you know,
I'm not gonna. I think thatpart that last part there, people are
being really uptight. I support andstand with the actors and sag Aftra,
but it's my opinion that Halloween costumejust because you're gonna dress up as a
celebrity or a character in a popularfilm, and I don't think that that
(18:15):
helps anyone in either direction. Idon't think it it's meaningless. I don't
know. I don't think people thinkit that way. I could be wrong.
No, I will agree with thefact that I think that we are
making a stance, and I amvery much proud of my union in saying
the fact that we in two minutes, in the fact that we have not
(18:37):
worked, we have stood strong forone hundred and some days. We are
making a point, whether people likeit or not. So I don't know
what you chose to do if you'rean actor and you did go to these
parties, but whatever it is,as long as you're holding strong, like
all of us are, I youknow, I think that's showing everybody that
we're actually a good team and we'reactually sticking together and we're strong together.
So that was one of the thingsI wanted to bring up. The other
(19:00):
thing wise wise, how far istoo far with these costumes? I mean,
like, you know, there's theclassics and then there's the not Do
you have like an opinion about thecostumes because look what you're wearing that's been
around forever. Yeah, right,well, I go, I err on
(19:22):
the side of funny. I'm notgoing for a sexy costume because I can't
make a sexy costume look sexy.I mean, I'm not going to be
you know, like Magic Mike orsome you know, crazy cowboy. No.
But like if I'm gonna if I'mnot gonna do the costume any justice,
then there's no way that. Like, if someone's not gonna look at
(19:48):
me and be like, oh mygod, you nailed it, you did
that great, then I'm not goingto attempt it because I want to do
I want to own it, andI just feel like there's certain characters and
things that I'm not cut out fornow. I did see a guy Fieri
the other night, and I'm like, I could rock that. I can
do that. Oh yeah, Icould tell you be But you know,
(20:10):
Brad Pitt, I am not scary. You are so funny. So do
you think that's the way people actuallylook at these costumes, because I've definitely
seen some people in inappropriate costumes inone sec. And you know, I
gotta tell you for me this yearin the other room, go ahead for
me. By the way, Iknow it's hot for me. One of
(20:32):
the biggest things with my little piglit was that, so for anybody that's
pregnant out there, I thought thiswas gonna be fun to play up my
honey pod. So although I gotScottish shirt that says honey because he's my
honey and I thought that would becute to go around with. I was
like, okay, there was someinappropriate costumes for pregnant women, and I
got to share this with you.Okay. I thought they were funny.
(20:56):
I was hysterical laughing when I startedlooking up pregnancy costumes. This is like
PG like doing it with my honeypot. And I'm like, I'm so proud
of my honeypot. I'm like thisis great, you know. I'm like,
this is awesome. I'm gonna thankyou thirty weeks. Yeah, and
I'm like excited, Like I'm likeI'm excited to show my belly and be
(21:17):
like yay. So I thought itwas cute. In fact, I wanted
somebody to draw honeypot on my tummy, but I haven't gotten that far yet.
But I have to tell you something. There was a costume. It
was just so funny to me scary. It was a black shirt and it
had a picture of a kid onit, okay, and it had a
hand coming out, so it wasa plastic hand that dangled out of the
(21:40):
show and the hand held a pumpkin. Okay, okay, I thought it
was the funniest thing. Ever,Scott was just like, that's so not
due to have that dark center youAnd I'm like, oh yes, but
I didn't mean it like that.And then there was another girl. This
was crazy. Another girl showed thisthing where she like cut the face of
(22:04):
a doll out and she stuck itunderneath her outfit. So when you were
wearing like a white shirt, thislike face came through. And I mean
it was a little spooky. Butbecause she called it like a demon baby,
I was like, okay, no, I can't go there. That
was too far from me. Yes, okay, honey. You know a
(22:26):
good couple's costume that I saw afew of was the Taylor Swift and Travis
Kelce. Oh my god, isthat not And it's easy for the guy.
The woman loves to get dressed up. She's Taylor Swift. She glands
it up, and for the guy, it's like all I gotta do is
put on like a football uniform.Maybe he puts some black you know,
the black marker stuff under my eyesand a helmet come in. That is
(22:49):
hysterical. No, there were alot of them. I did hear people
say that they thought that it wascrazy that there were so many of those
costumes out. But I but Icould see that, right. I mean,
that's like to what is right now. The other thing I was gonna
say was I had a little tipfor the parents, so not only just
the pregnant moms out there, becareful what you wear, because apparently some
people don't think all our humor isfunny. But the toddler thing, I
(23:15):
gave Porsche a choice, not thesmartest thing to do. I told her
to pick what she wanted to wearfor Halloween. So we went through about
twenty costumes and ME like, crazy, mom, that's online, which is
the next thing we got to touchon. Scary this online shopping thing.
I ordered a bunch of costumes,and I want you to know how crazy
(23:37):
it was to me that I orderedall these costumes. But once they got
here, the worst part was shelooked adorable in all of them, and
I was going out of my mind. So here's the thing. Don't give
your kids a choice. I endedup letting her wear which I'm totally gonna
pose to show people. She endedup wearing three. She ended up being
a doctor about two weeks because wewent to our first trigger treating like the
(24:03):
Woods, and it was like theScavenger Hunt. So I thought that was
a safe costume to wear because shewas able to wear sneakers and walk around.
Then she was Elsa on Saturday because, like we just said, it
was seventy degrees and beautiful, soshe got to wear this down and look
like her princess self, which shewanted to do tomorrow, right. And
then I leveled with her and said, Portia, although you may not understand
(24:26):
this, I remember wearing a jacketover all my nice costumes, and anybody
here from this coast knows it suckswhen you have the cutest costume on and
then you have to put this bigblack jacket over it because it's freaking cold
out on Halloween. So I decidedI decided to maximize another year of my
(24:47):
daughter being able to fit in theseadorable like onesie costumes where you could shove
sweatshirts underneath and sweatpans. And thatis where we came up with Pooh and
picklet Oh very nice. This wasmy original and only pick but word to
the wise, yeah, I lovedit as soon as I sort of like
this is so me? What Okay? So theoretically I wanted to be a
(25:12):
gaba ghoul, which is gabba likeCopa Cola did the the Italian cold cut,
which is a piece of salami.And they have these gaba goul costumes
out there. Can't find one.But and that's like a play on the
word gaba ghoul. Okay, SoI was gonna be a mummy because I
thought that was fine. It couldhave been cute. Now, I mean,
(25:36):
we're Italian. We like to dropthe the vowels off the end,
so it's it's it's actually Copa Cola, but gaba ghoul made famous by Tony
Soprano and the Sopranos. They callit gabba ghoul in the show. Anyway,
that aside. When I arrived onthe wacky waving costume, I said,
you know what, I'm gonna buyit off of a website. Now,
(25:57):
I think if there's one thing youshould do with costumes, go out
and buy him in person. Severalreasons. First of all, half the
time you order something and whatever reason, it's too big, it's too small,
it don't fit, so much couldgo wrong, and you spend a
lot of time in refunds and transactionsand wasted time. But the worst part
(26:19):
of this Halloween for me because Iknew I needed an adult sized costume for
this specific character I'm being. Idecided I'm gonna, you know, I'm
gonna go online and order it froma website which I remained nameless. Well,
they back ordered me till November first, after a week I ordered it
(26:40):
two weeks ago. A week ago, it said, yeah, you're not
gonna get it in time. Sowhat the hell am I going to do
with a costume on November first?So I then needed to go find the
same costume at a competing site.Ordered it. It showed up on Saturday.
Here I am sitting here in it, and now I got to get
a refund on the one that's onthe way tomorrow. So it's a big
(27:02):
headache. So I'm sorry the onethat comes on Wednesday. So when it
shows up on Wednesday night, nowhave to you know, send it back
and make sure they get it before. Maybe in four to six weeks I'll
get a refund. It just doesn'tpay. You just never know. You
can't roll the dice on Halloween.If you need something like that, got
to get it, go to person, pick it up, walk home with
(27:23):
it that day, take it outof the store. You've tried it on
already, you got your purchase.That's my tip. Okay, scary,
I want you to know these Halloweenstores. I was watching on I think
it was a CBS morning show theother day. They had the guy on
that does Spirit Halloween. Do youknow that guy opens the stores only for
(27:45):
Halloween and does that in like Idon't know, like fifteen hundred stores.
He finds an empty spot, herents it out just for Halloween, and
he does it because people still areeven though we have so much online shopping,
people are still prones going into thosestores and touching those costumes. And
you know what I didn't, Andthat's one of the other things that was
(28:06):
so risky was everything that I boughtwas offline this year and it was really
really hard. In fact, myoriginal Ears were set to come in yesterday
and they didn't come. So Iwas kind of bummed out about something as
simple as Ears. So I totallyget it, because I think you had
trouble even last year. I thinksince COVID, things have been a little
bit crazy when it comes to someof these manufacturers for Halloween, because they're
(28:29):
not your typical stuff. You're orderingoff Amazon, which, by the way,
I give Amazon a lot of credit. They had a lot of stuff
to order. But the whole ideaof getting told it was coming on Sunday
and then it's now says it's comingon this Friday. What do I need
barriers for on Friday? I totallyget it. It's like, I think
you're right. I think going intothe stores touching is definitely the way to
go. I also think that's anotherlittle taddler tip. It was pretty funny
(28:52):
because I saw some of these charactersthat they have in the stores when I
was watching some of these bloopers oflike how these kids like touch these characters
and freaked. Oh my god.It leads me to believe that maybe,
like when you're decorating your house,you have to really know your audience around
your block scary because I didn't realizehow scared some of like these kids get
with some of these ghouls and skeletonsand the things that talk to you and
(29:15):
are like standing like eight feet up. You know. I think I think
it's just crazy, but some housesget really ducked out. I bet you
it really does scare these kids.Yeah, it does. Now I know,
before we get out of here.We had a couple other things on
our list that you want to touchon a few more things. You ready

(33:44):
exactly what I found not too longago. I saw this box and I
was like, what is this box? It turns out it was from when
she was a kid. If Itell you how weird some of the stuff
looked when you go back to likeseeing like these costumes, the mask that

listening to this, if you're listeningto this, then you're you're not seeing
(01:47):
what's going on. We are,we're dressed up for Halloween. So,
if you've ever driven by a carwash or an auto dealership, you've seen
those tall tubes that are basically twelvefeet high and are powered by a generator
(02:07):
with air flowing through it, andthey actually wave in the air, and
they bend over, they bend backwards, their arms flail, and they're usually
orange and there's the word sell usuallywritten down the front. I am actually
in one of those costumes. It'sa Onesie. So it's nice. The
(02:28):
material is nice. But man,oh man, do you mean you like
wearing a Onesie? I can getused to this. I gotta be honest.
I see why everybody is so comfortable. Yeah, poor, So I
would say that too if you're seeingwho I am right now, look at
this. So I'm trying to geta character as the way wacky waving,
(02:53):
inflatable arm flailing tube. Men.Second, you gotta get close to the
I mean talking about onesies. Imean I have a baby in my belly
that's doing how fast Porsche? Sixweeks six weeks until baby brother arrives.
So when you start talking about onepie, oh my god, my GODPI
(03:20):
listen, we might have to doa shout out to Olivia Rodrigo, because
I just want to tell you something. My daughter, this is totally a
Halloween thing since that's song and damnvampire. My daughter thinks that every other
day she should change her costume andbecome a damn vampire. Wow, this
is she's Actually, she's growing upfast. She's also taken over our podcast.
(03:43):
If you see, she's got acomplete disregard talks all over us.
She you know, I don't know. We may have to give her her
own microphone pretty soon. What doyou think. I think we might have
to, But it's scary. Igotta tell you. It was so much
fun, so much fun looking fora costume this year because my norm is,
you know, extremely small, littlecostumes that I'm running off to these
(04:06):
parties and having fun. Right yeah, And my life changed when I had
Porsche and it became costumes that hadto do with Porsche. And I have
to tell you we haven't been inNew York for a Halloween. Okay.
We've been kind of traveling and havingto go other places for the last few
(04:27):
and this year we are in lovelyNew York for our Halloween and you have
the complete fall going on, andPorsa and I were trying to figure out
what costume to wear because, asyou know, unlike when you're in LA,
you have a season issue and itgets cold here like out of nowhere.
It was seventy degrees on Saturday.It was gorgeous, and now it's
(04:51):
gonna be like what thirty tomorrow forkids to treat it ridiculous. It's the
temperature fluctuations what's going to cause everybodyto get sick. Now now, okay,
so now here's my problem I havewith Halloween. If we may get
into it. We can get intoit when Halloween falls on a weekday like
(05:14):
it does this year, on aTuesday, or even next year when it's
going to be a Wednesday, ifit's not leapier or Thursday, anyway,
when it moves through the week,because it's disruptive because Halloween is always October
thirty first, no matter what dayof the you know, no matter what
year it is. So we justcame off of what we call hallow weekend
(05:35):
where most people who work regular jobsnine to five Monday to Friday, they
had their parties. So I wasout on Friday and Saturday night and people
were in full costume, which leadsme to believe that they're celebrating their Halloween.
Then, however, when it comesto trigger treaters and other things in
(05:56):
dressing up at school, Halloween isstill the thirty first. Now there are
also people I know that are throwingbig parties for Halloween tomorrow night, but
I can't. They wanted me tojudge a Halloween costume contest at one of
our friend's big parties that he does, and it's a Tuesday night. The
costume contest is at midnight. Iwon't get home till two in the morning.
(06:18):
I'm not trying to be a crabbyold bastard cover your kid's years,
but I mean, you'd be supertired. I would be Porscha gets it.
I would have to wake up forwork at four in the morning.
So I don't know. In recentyears, there's been this movement and take
(06:41):
a face to that. Sorry.In recent years, there's been this move
and this petition out there to havemoved Halloween to the last Saturday in October.
This way everyone gets to play,or a lot of people do.
The people of the service industry,you're working overtime, but for the majority
(07:01):
of the people it's safer because youknow, you don't. You know what
I'm saying. You don't have towake up early the next day. You
think about the parties, think aboutthe alcohol, think about the costume prep.
I just think it's gonna it wouldbe a better play for everyone to
celebrate the now the last Saturday ofthe month. What do you think about
that? What are your thoughts?Okay, so basically you're asking me if
(07:25):
I think we should change Halloween fromOctober thirty first to the last Saturday of
October every year. Yeah, that'swhat you think. That's what you're putting
out there. Well, it's notmy idea. Listen, it's been vocalized
on my morning show by Elvis.I've seen petitions for it online. I
don't know. I don't know whatthe answer. I think it's a pretty
(07:46):
good idea, though, I canget on board with that. Wow.
Okay, So I'm all for theparty idea and the fact that the main
parties do go off on a Fridayand Saturday night. We all know that,
right, I mean, the bestof the best happens on a weekend.
It's not gonna happen on a Tuesdaynight of cans. So here's the
(08:07):
problem. You're so discract. I'msorry. I'm in character right now.
I'm flailing. I'm doing the wackywaving base. The problem scary. There
is something too Halloween that's supposed tobe scary, that's supposed to be Yeah,
like zombie, a zombie. Shethought you were a French fry when
you first got on, and thenshe thought you were a zombie. Okay,
(08:30):
this is a fail, fat yeah, because you got French fries.
Radio. You can't see you standingthe camera. Tell him now you have
flat flights hanging off. Thank you, Portia, Go ahead, hold on
a second, hang on, hangon. So here's the thing. I
(08:52):
think that it'd be great except forone thing. Do you understand why it
occurs on October thirty first every year? There's something to be said about it.
Okay, So here's here's a littletidbit of a share nose before we
actually get into the rest of ourpodcast. Halloween follows traditions, right,
and they're from the ancient Gaelic festivalof saw Win. All right, that's
(09:13):
what it's from. And the festivalwould occur on November first, but it
would start the evening before. Sothe idea was October thirty first, Okay,
put it down here. The ideais that October thirty first would always
be the date of Halloween. Soalthough I think that everything in life has
(09:33):
to change eventually and there's a reasonfor change and change is good, I
don't know if you'll get everybody todo that because so far it's such a
tradition. It's like changing Christmas.She yelled into the microphone. I understand
what you said. What she yelledinto the microphone. What was the last
thing you said. I didn't hearyou. Oh, it would be like
(09:56):
changing Christmas, like you can't change. That's that's my side of it that
I don't think. But that okay, because how do you make Christmas?
Like December twenty fifth is Christmas?Okay? Right, follow me on this
one. The difference there would beChristmas is marks something that's I don't know,
pretty popular day, the birth ofChrist. Right, do people really
(10:20):
remember this Gaelic holiday from way backwhen? Or you know, is there
any religion tied to it? No? You know, so I don't think
we're offending. I don't think we'reoffending anybody. Then hold on, hold
on, there is some stuff thatis tied to it. That's where you
go back to this whole. Somepeople say, there's two answers to this
(10:41):
question, okay, and something hasto do with the pagan one and a
Christian one. It has to dowith this festival, but it also goes
back to something with the whole ideaof the souls. Right, All Souls
Day falls on what November first?Well, the day the Day of the
Dead is November first. I'm sorry, all Saints Day and the right all
(11:03):
Saints Day and the Day of theDead in like Southwestern culture. Listen,
I'm just wondering if anyone would beoffended or if anyone even notice if we
changed it. I don't know ifI'd mind, because honestly, I've said,
as soon as I can get backto my my, my party,
it might be something that I woulddefinitely join in on. I mean,
(11:24):
right this moment, at the youknow, six weeks still a baby and
me dressing is tlo Right now,I think I'm okay with it because I
don't want to dress up twice like, so section hold on that. But
that okay, So now you're hittingsomething that people would probably say is part
of the fun of the dressing upfor Halloween. Which leads to the next
thing I wanted to talk about,which was these costumes. Okay, so
(11:48):
there's a few aspects to these costumes, and one of the things that I
was going to tell you was wasthat sometimes people like to dress up a
couple of nights, because as yousee with our celebrities and some of the
parties that I go, whether it'sthe Casablanca party in La or the Maxim
parties or when I was going tothe Playboy party when those were on,
you know, I feel like theidea was to wear different costumes because the
(12:09):
thing I was wearing to the PlayboyMansion was not necessarily the same thing I
was going to be wearing to adifferent party, because the idea was to
be photographed in different costumes. Right, So isn't that kind of part of
playing dress up for Halloween is likeactually changing that costume getting dressed. I
guess it comes down to people wholove playing dress up with people who don't.
I do it because I have to, and I feel like, all
(12:31):
right, it's Halloween. Now tomorrowon our morning show, I will be
wearing this or you know this tameno Now Saturday, I didn't go to
a Halloween party this year for thefirst time in years, and I didn't
have to work or do a contestor host an event. So I was
off on Saturday night for the firsttime in several Halloweens. Oh my god,
(12:54):
can I tell you how embarrassing itwas to go out because me and
my buddy were not dressed up,and we went out to a couple of
bars, and we're walking around andall of Hoboken was not only dressed up,
but it was like ten times theamount of people I've ever seen,
and everyone is trying to get intoall the bars. I had to look
(13:15):
around and find a bar with theleast amount of costumes in it, just
so I could feel normal, becauseI felt out of place not in a
costume. How crazy is that?Okay, so you also picked first of
all, it was crazy to seeyou out the weekend of Halloween weekend without
(13:35):
a costume. If you guys rememberme and Scary even hosted an awesome party
a couple of years of what wasit two years ago? We hosted a
sick Halloween party and we were doingit on a Saturday night. Everything's always
the Saturday before and you always alwayswork gigs the weekend before Halloween. So
when I saw you out with yourboys just having fun, I was like,
(13:56):
wait a second, that's so odd. You're not dressed up by you
also picked a seventy degree October day. I can't even imagine that you even
had the nerve to go out withouta costume on. Like, I was
shocked when I saw it, becauseI knew everybody was gonna be flooding those
bars like there was no tomorrow.Like people were probably so happy to be
(14:18):
out without a jacket over their costumes. I mean, it must have been
insane. And you know, talkingabout these costumes, though, did you
know that the most googled popular costumesthis year I had they're beautiful are Barbie
yep, Spider Man yep, andWednesday Atoms. Okay, you just hit
(14:41):
on two of the three, becausethe most seen costume that I was looking
at as I was walking around aimlesslyfor several hours was both Wednesday Atoms Yeah
and Barbie. I saw a lotof Barbie and a lot of Wednesday Yeah.
I wasn't really sure where this SpiderMan came from, but I guess
it's just a classic kind of holdon a moment. I have a mommy
(15:05):
moment, Mommy moment, mommy moment. How Porsche, Yeah, she's becoming
I gotta I gotta say, she'sbecoming a little diva. Him about hold
on a sec. I wonder whereshe gets it from. Oh, I
have no idea, all right,Porisia. So one of the things that
Porsche, who's also a SAG member, had to deal with this year was
(15:28):
a little controversy that came up becausewe are on our one hundredth and like,
don't totally quote me, but it'ssomewhere between one hundred and six and
one hundred and ten days on strikehere. Yeah, so we are still
on strike, even though by theway, even though the writers went back,
not so they're still on strike,right, So we are still on
strike. And one of the thingsthat came up with SAG was not to
(15:52):
support the studios and show any typeof favoritism towards those outfits that were like
Barbie, which was a studio movie, or you know, Wednesday Adams or
whatever. They didn't want that,and there was a lot of controversy with
actors because they were like, butit's Halloween and that doesn't mean that we're
supporting the studios. It just meansthat we want to get out there and
(16:15):
have some fun. But there werea lot of people that really did believe
that that wasn't the case. I, you know, I kind of didn't
have to worry about it because Winniethe Pooh and Piglet was something that's more
of our classic costume, so Ifell into the classics. But I did
wonder what you thought about that scarylike do you think that's when there's a
(16:37):
couple of things that came up forHalloween that I wanted to ask you,
So, do you think that that'slike a problem if you're you know,
I think it's that is being sonitpicky. I don't think it affects the
strike either way. I don't thinkpeople noticed that you're not supporting it by
not wearing it, And I don'tthink people noticed that you you're in support
(17:00):
or solidarity or if you are.I don't think people think like that.
I think people take the character asthe character, and I think by taking
out what say when is would WednesdayAtams be one of those that's on the
list like who who? Wouldn't yoube like because well, yeah, because
you have to understand that's a streamingshow, right and we and we have
(17:25):
a problem right now with that people. No, I mean you're having a
problem as a union across the boardwith AI, the studios, the streamers,
all of them. Like, there'ssome people that I don't know if
you know this, but there's alot of people that are also repetitioning to
drop, like you know, thetheir streamers right now because they didn't want
to support that. So there's somepeople that really, you know, there's
certain ways people feel that they needto go to support it. In certain
(17:48):
ways, other people feel that's notwhat I need to do. I'm going
to go out on a picket lineor I'm just not gonna you know,
I'm not gonna. I think thatpart that last part there, people are
being really uptight. I support andstand with the actors and sag Aftra,
but it's my opinion that Halloween costumejust because you're gonna dress up as a
celebrity or a character in a popularfilm, and I don't think that that
(18:15):
helps anyone in either direction. Idon't think it it's meaningless. I don't
know. I don't think people thinkit that way. I could be wrong.
No, I will agree with thefact that I think that we are
making a stance, and I amvery much proud of my union in saying
the fact that we in two minutes, in the fact that we have not
(18:37):
worked, we have stood strong forone hundred and some days. We are
making a point, whether people likeit or not. So I don't know
what you chose to do if you'rean actor and you did go to these
parties, but whatever it is,as long as you're holding strong, like
all of us are, I youknow, I think that's showing everybody that
we're actually a good team and we'reactually sticking together and we're strong together.
So that was one of the thingsI wanted to bring up. The other
(19:00):
thing wise wise, how far istoo far with these costumes? I mean,
like, you know, there's theclassics and then there's the not Do
you have like an opinion about thecostumes because look what you're wearing that's been
around forever. Yeah, right,well, I go, I err on
(19:22):
the side of funny. I'm notgoing for a sexy costume because I can't
make a sexy costume look sexy.I mean, I'm not going to be
you know, like Magic Mike orsome you know, crazy cowboy. No.
But like if I'm gonna if I'mnot gonna do the costume any justice,
then there's no way that. Like, if someone's not gonna look at
(19:48):
me and be like, oh mygod, you nailed it, you did
that great, then I'm not goingto attempt it because I want to do
I want to own it, andI just feel like there's certain characters and
things that I'm not cut out fornow. I did see a guy Fieri
the other night, and I'm like, I could rock that. I can
do that. Oh yeah, Icould tell you be But you know,
(20:10):
Brad Pitt, I am not scary. You are so funny. So do
you think that's the way people actuallylook at these costumes, because I've definitely
seen some people in inappropriate costumes inone sec. And you know, I
gotta tell you for me this yearin the other room, go ahead for
me. By the way, Iknow it's hot for me. One of
(20:32):
the biggest things with my little piglit was that, so for anybody that's
pregnant out there, I thought thiswas gonna be fun to play up my
honey pod. So although I gotScottish shirt that says honey because he's my
honey and I thought that would becute to go around with. I was
like, okay, there was someinappropriate costumes for pregnant women, and I
got to share this with you.Okay. I thought they were funny.
(20:56):
I was hysterical laughing when I startedlooking up pregnancy costumes. This is like
PG like doing it with my honeypot. And I'm like, I'm so proud
of my honeypot. I'm like thisis great, you know. I'm like,
this is awesome. I'm gonna thankyou thirty weeks. Yeah, and
I'm like excited, Like I'm likeI'm excited to show my belly and be
(21:17):
like yay. So I thought itwas cute. In fact, I wanted
somebody to draw honeypot on my tummy, but I haven't gotten that far yet.
But I have to tell you something. There was a costume. It
was just so funny to me scary. It was a black shirt and it
had a picture of a kid onit, okay, and it had a
hand coming out, so it wasa plastic hand that dangled out of the
(21:40):
show and the hand held a pumpkin. Okay, okay, I thought it
was the funniest thing. Ever,Scott was just like, that's so not
due to have that dark center youAnd I'm like, oh yes, but
I didn't mean it like that.And then there was another girl. This
was crazy. Another girl showed thisthing where she like cut the face of
(22:04):
a doll out and she stuck itunderneath her outfit. So when you were
wearing like a white shirt, thislike face came through. And I mean
it was a little spooky. Butbecause she called it like a demon baby,
I was like, okay, no, I can't go there. That
was too far from me. Yes, okay, honey. You know a
(22:26):
good couple's costume that I saw afew of was the Taylor Swift and Travis
Kelce. Oh my god, isthat not And it's easy for the guy.
The woman loves to get dressed up. She's Taylor Swift. She glands
it up, and for the guy, it's like all I gotta do is
put on like a football uniform.Maybe he puts some black you know,
the black marker stuff under my eyesand a helmet come in. That is
(22:49):
hysterical. No, there were alot of them. I did hear people
say that they thought that it wascrazy that there were so many of those
costumes out. But I but Icould see that, right. I mean,
that's like to what is right now. The other thing I was gonna
say was I had a little tipfor the parents, so not only just
the pregnant moms out there, becareful what you wear, because apparently some
people don't think all our humor isfunny. But the toddler thing, I
(23:15):
gave Porsche a choice, not thesmartest thing to do. I told her
to pick what she wanted to wearfor Halloween. So we went through about
twenty costumes and ME like, crazy, mom, that's online, which is
the next thing we got to touchon. Scary this online shopping thing.
I ordered a bunch of costumes,and I want you to know how crazy
(23:37):
it was to me that I orderedall these costumes. But once they got
here, the worst part was shelooked adorable in all of them, and
I was going out of my mind. So here's the thing. Don't give
your kids a choice. I endedup letting her wear which I'm totally gonna
pose to show people. She endedup wearing three. She ended up being
a doctor about two weeks because wewent to our first trigger treating like the
(24:03):
Woods, and it was like theScavenger Hunt. So I thought that was
a safe costume to wear because shewas able to wear sneakers and walk around.
Then she was Elsa on Saturday because, like we just said, it
was seventy degrees and beautiful, soshe got to wear this down and look
like her princess self, which shewanted to do tomorrow, right. And
then I leveled with her and said, Portia, although you may not understand
(24:26):
this, I remember wearing a jacketover all my nice costumes, and anybody
here from this coast knows it suckswhen you have the cutest costume on and
then you have to put this bigblack jacket over it because it's freaking cold
out on Halloween. So I decidedI decided to maximize another year of my
(24:47):
daughter being able to fit in theseadorable like onesie costumes where you could shove
sweatshirts underneath and sweatpans. And thatis where we came up with Pooh and
picklet Oh very nice. This wasmy original and only pick but word to
the wise, yeah, I lovedit as soon as I sort of like
this is so me? What Okay? So theoretically I wanted to be a
(25:12):
gaba ghoul, which is gabba likeCopa Cola did the the Italian cold cut,
which is a piece of salami.And they have these gaba goul costumes
out there. Can't find one.But and that's like a play on the
word gaba ghoul. Okay, SoI was gonna be a mummy because I
thought that was fine. It couldhave been cute. Now, I mean,
(25:36):
we're Italian. We like to dropthe the vowels off the end,
so it's it's it's actually Copa Cola, but gaba ghoul made famous by Tony
Soprano and the Sopranos. They callit gabba ghoul in the show. Anyway,
that aside. When I arrived onthe wacky waving costume, I said,
you know what, I'm gonna buyit off of a website. Now,
(25:57):
I think if there's one thing youshould do with costumes, go out
and buy him in person. Severalreasons. First of all, half the
time you order something and whatever reason, it's too big, it's too small,
it don't fit, so much couldgo wrong, and you spend a
lot of time in refunds and transactionsand wasted time. But the worst part
(26:19):
of this Halloween for me because Iknew I needed an adult sized costume for
this specific character I'm being. Idecided I'm gonna, you know, I'm
gonna go online and order it froma website which I remained nameless. Well,
they back ordered me till November first, after a week I ordered it
(26:40):
two weeks ago. A week ago, it said, yeah, you're not
gonna get it in time. Sowhat the hell am I going to do
with a costume on November first?So I then needed to go find the
same costume at a competing site.Ordered it. It showed up on Saturday.
Here I am sitting here in it, and now I got to get
a refund on the one that's onthe way tomorrow. So it's a big
(27:02):
headache. So I'm sorry the onethat comes on Wednesday. So when it
shows up on Wednesday night, nowhave to you know, send it back
and make sure they get it before. Maybe in four to six weeks I'll
get a refund. It just doesn'tpay. You just never know. You
can't roll the dice on Halloween.If you need something like that, got
to get it, go to person, pick it up, walk home with
(27:23):
it that day, take it outof the store. You've tried it on
already, you got your purchase.That's my tip. Okay, scary,
I want you to know these Halloweenstores. I was watching on I think
it was a CBS morning show theother day. They had the guy on
that does Spirit Halloween. Do youknow that guy opens the stores only for
(27:45):
Halloween and does that in like Idon't know, like fifteen hundred stores.
He finds an empty spot, herents it out just for Halloween, and
he does it because people still areeven though we have so much online shopping,
people are still prones going into thosestores and touching those costumes. And
you know what I didn't, Andthat's one of the other things that was
(28:06):
so risky was everything that I boughtwas offline this year and it was really
really hard. In fact, myoriginal Ears were set to come in yesterday
and they didn't come. So Iwas kind of bummed out about something as
simple as Ears. So I totallyget it, because I think you had
trouble even last year. I thinksince COVID, things have been a little
bit crazy when it comes to someof these manufacturers for Halloween, because they're
(28:29):
not your typical stuff. You're orderingoff Amazon, which, by the way,
I give Amazon a lot of credit. They had a lot of stuff
to order. But the whole ideaof getting told it was coming on Sunday
and then it's now says it's comingon this Friday. What do I need
barriers for on Friday? I totallyget it. It's like, I think
you're right. I think going intothe stores touching is definitely the way to
go. I also think that's anotherlittle taddler tip. It was pretty funny
(28:52):
because I saw some of these charactersthat they have in the stores when I
was watching some of these bloopers oflike how these kids like touch these characters
and freaked. Oh my god.It leads me to believe that maybe,
like when you're decorating your house,you have to really know your audience around
your block scary because I didn't realizehow scared some of like these kids get
with some of these ghouls and skeletonsand the things that talk to you and
(29:15):
are like standing like eight feet up. You know. I think I think
it's just crazy, but some housesget really ducked out. I bet you
it really does scare these kids.Yeah, it does. Now I know,
before we get out of here.We had a couple other things on
our list that you want to touchon a few more things. You ready
sure knows the worst candy. Forthe last four years in a row,
(29:37):
first candy has been candy corn.Yeah, well that's been on, that's
been going ongoing. Yeah. However, this year, topping off at number
one is circus peanuts. Oh,those are disgusting. I never knew they
were as popular. Are you surethey're as popular as candy corn is?
(30:00):
Who gives them? No? Butthey're not really peanuts. They're candy orange
candy, the orange. They're disgusting. Yeah, they like this orange squishy
candy. Everybody googles circus peanuts.If you don't know what it is,
make sure you do when you sayit. Worst is that like worst tasting
or worst? That the candy youdon't want to get in your bag?
(30:22):
Like who voted on this candy toget in your bag? Like it's the
one where people are going to startexing your house and going, you know
what, we'll skip them next year. So unless you want to be the
house that gets skipped, don't doit. I heard the best one is
reached This peanut butter cups M andm's a lot of those, a lot
of the you know the classic oneright, chocolate definitely, Hey, Coortia,
(30:44):
what's your favorite part of Halloween?The what? Oh? The spider
donut? She likes the spider donutfrom She likes the candy. Here's one
more thing you ready, one quickshare nose before we go scared. We
got time for it. Yeah,okay. Safety tips to all my friends
(31:06):
and single or not out there andthe ones especially with kids. Here we
go well lit areas. Be carefulthis year. There is some stuff going
around. You know, I gotto protect you. The pium me comes
out. Make sure you go withwell lit areas. If you do have
kids, do me a favorite.Even though you can send them out in
big groups, it's being told thatbecause of all the stuff that's going on,
(31:27):
it's just not safe right now,you should really go around with one
adult. So even if there's abunch of kids going around and they're like
teenagers or whatever and they want tobe left alone, stay nearby, figure
it out with them. Locators usethem that night. Okay, if you
have one, even for your partner, you're going out with your child walking
(31:48):
around your partner staying home. Usea locator with you. Guys. It's
better to do apple Apple ted,throw them in the basket, put them
on the kid, do something.Keep a track on your children this year.
Okay, you should always do it, but especially now. Times are
just the way they are and youhave to just bend with them. The
other thing is take a picture ofyour child before they go out trick or
(32:13):
treating. Even if you're taking themaround. It is always good to have
that one solid shot of exactly whatyou looked like at four o'clock before you
left that night. It will helpyou if God fid there's a problem.
The other thing is reflectors. Ifyou have a bag or something you don't
want to ruin your costume, putit on a bag, Be safe,
be smart, and have fun.I love it. I love it man
(32:37):
costumes A couple of long ways.Since we were kids, Remember when we
used to have those those plastic maskswith the rubber band and those creepy eyeholes.
We all will look really creepy inthose plastic And it was the smell
of I don't know what chemicals eachcostume was made of. When you opened
up that box and it was youknew that you know that shit was toxic
(32:59):
and we were breathing it in askids when we got those costumes and those
vinyl you know, the vinyl costumeswhere you would walk and you hear yourself.

was made of a cheap like smellywhatever talking about. And then the mask
(33:21):

you to know something. I actuallywill share this really quick. I have
a spot that my mom had keptall this crazy stuff right from like my
brother and blah blah blah, andshe would keep it even from when she
was a kid. She kept likethese like weird things. And that is
(33:44):
exactly what I found not too longago. I saw this box and I
was like, what is this box? It turns out it was from when
she was a kid. If Itell you how weird some of the stuff
looked when you go back to likeseeing like these costumes, the mask that
you're talking about, scary, theywere strained. Yeah, they were google
