1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:04,880
Speaker 1: People are predicting that these American traditions nige will fade

2
00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:06,359
Speaker 1: away in the coming decades.

3
00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:07,840
Speaker 2: Tell me if you agree or disagree.

4
00:00:07,880 --> 00:00:12,760
Speaker 1: Okay, class reunions, people say social media have made.

5
00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:13,720
Speaker 2: These things irrelevant.

6
00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:16,640
Speaker 1: I have to put one together for my nineteen ninety

7
00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:17,759
Speaker 1: six class next year.

8
00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:20,479
Speaker 3: Hey are you are you doing? Have you been to

9
00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:21,560
Speaker 3: a class reunion?

10
00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:24,120
Speaker 1: I've been to a couple. I'm the president of my class,

11
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:27,600
Speaker 1: so I have to put them together. So next year is.

12
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:29,640
Speaker 4: They been to multiple class reunions?

13
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:32,240
Speaker 2: We did a ten year, we did a twenty, and we're.

14
00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:35,240
Speaker 1: About to do a thirty wow, so that we haven't

15
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:36,239
Speaker 1: done any of that.

16
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:39,639
Speaker 3: And yes, I would say social media. I mean everybody

17
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:43,640
Speaker 3: knows what everybody else is doing on social media on Facebook.

18
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:45,520
Speaker 1: And half these people have deleted me as their friend

19
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:48,240
Speaker 1: anyway because they don't like my politics. So it's gonna

20
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:50,040
Speaker 1: be real fun to see him face to face.

21
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:51,159
Speaker 3: I love it.

22
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:51,839
Speaker 4: Uh.

23
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:55,320
Speaker 1: Trick or treating, they say trick or treating might be

24
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 1: fading away in decades, the door to door version because

25
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:02,760
Speaker 1: they say, one, too many weirdos out there, and two

26
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:08,280
Speaker 1: chopper treating and big events have taken place. That's not disappearing.

27
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:11,399
Speaker 1: Trust me, did you have a big turnout this year?

28
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:14,400
Speaker 1: Because I didn't huge. See, I had a bad time.

29
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:16,960
Speaker 2: In our neighborhood.

30
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:20,480
Speaker 3: It was pretty big. It was pretty big now, even

31
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:23,960
Speaker 3: the COVID year. For God's sake, it was bigger than ever.

32
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:27,760
Speaker 3: People would camp out on the edge of their driveways

33
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 3: and just put the the the candy out on a

34
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 3: on a table that they would take out there.

35
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:35,039
Speaker 4: It was more efficient and quick.

36
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:38,120
Speaker 1: We had full sized candy bars, and we still had

37
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 1: a bad turnout in our neighborhood.

38
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 4: Man, sorry about that.

39
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:44,560
Speaker 1: But here's another example of why trick or treating may

40
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:45,279
Speaker 1: be going away.

41
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 5: Police in Saint John's very wrapped up their investigation into

42
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 5: a smelly Halloween mystery. They tell us a kid didn't

43
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 5: get a treat, they got a bag of poop.

44
00:01:57,160 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 1: That that is another example why trick or treating maybe

45
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 1: going away.

46
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 3: I understand that.

47
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 1: Okay, Black Friday, I mean it's almost already dead, but

48
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 1: online shopping has kind of made Black Friday irrelevance.

49
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 2: And this last one.

50
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 1: As much as you will defend trick or treating, I

51
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 1: will defend this one. Backyard fireworks on the fourth of July.

52
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 1: No way people are saying, you know what, fireworks are

53
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 1: getting expensive. Most neighborhoods have some sort of show or

54
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 1: a park or somewhere you can go to watch the fireworks.

55
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 2: Well, not me. I put on a better show than

56
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 2: most parks. I put out a better show than most communities.

57
00:02:40,280 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 1: And here to back up my claims, wheelchair Terry, w you.

58
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 4: Terry, that trend is not going away.

59
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:18,079
Speaker 1: Poor wheelchair Terry, why did you let him light the fireworks?

60
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:21,120
Speaker 2: Whose idea was that brown universities
