Speaker 1: Oh my god, he's dying. He's dying.
Speaker 3: I get it, we all get it. But like, let's
Speaker 3: that's everyone fucking coughs.
Speaker 1: So yeah, there's the sign of that that his organs
Speaker 1: are working, you know, like at this age, at this stage,
Speaker 1: I'm just I want I want evidence that like everything's
Speaker 1: it's like when you have to show that you can
Speaker 1: poop before you leave the hospital, because they just like

Speaker 1: Biden all his parts work. The White House Stage is
Speaker 1: the annual Halloween event on Monday. The theme was Hallo Read,
Speaker 1: which oh about exactly they brought his desiccated corpse out. No,
Speaker 1: they it was because doctor Jill Biden, uh yeah, was
Speaker 1: like a reading specialist with children, and so it was ay.
Speaker 1: They gave books out with candy, celebrated featured famous literary characters. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's kind of crazy. The famous literary Halloween decorations included
Speaker 1: a accurate down to the inch recreation of the murdered
Speaker 1: family from In Cold Blood and a recreation of the
Speaker 1: beach murder from Camus the Stranger. Oh okay, that's really
Speaker 1: wild dark stuff. Ye, wild, wacky stuff.
Speaker 2: Morrison beloved section for the kids to Yeah.
Speaker 1: Right, a lot of the ghosts from uh one hundred
Speaker 1: years of Solitude, A thousand years what's that book called anyways?
Speaker 2: Gabriel Garcia marcuz.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I didn't know how many years of solitude
Speaker 1: it was because I was a philosophy major. I wasn't
Speaker 1: an English major. Among the guests, Secretary of State Anthony
Speaker 1: Blincoln who dressed his kids up like like I had
Speaker 1: to so our writer JM put this in the dock
Speaker 1: and I was like, no, this is a joke. Like this,
Speaker 1: I have to go and see what he actually did.
Speaker 1: He truly, blinking, truly dressed his kids up like Zelenski
Speaker 1: and a Ukrainian flag, like.
Speaker 2: Truly the fuck out of the fucking thrown city. How
Speaker 2: like how these kids look tiny?
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're like, they really want to be Vladimir Lensky
Speaker 3: and a Ukrainian flag.
Speaker 1: They want to be paw Patrol. Come on, dad, Jesus.
Speaker 3: They want to be Sonic, they want to be Mario,
Speaker 3: they want to be Grogud. They don't want to be
Speaker 3: the bolstering our like the image of like why we
Speaker 3: need to send more billions of dollars to Ukraine.
Speaker 1: But they don't want to be like a part of
Speaker 1: your fucking political cartoon man, Like.
Speaker 3: Could you imagine though, that house is so rife with
Speaker 3: propaganda that the kids are just fully into it. They're like, Dad,
Speaker 3: I want to be President Zelensky, Like you make me
Speaker 3: so proud.
Speaker 1: But yeah, the right really tried to create some kind
Speaker 1: of controversy, pointing out that Biden first of all, dropped
Speaker 1: a piece of candy. So this is like it really
Speaker 1: is interesting, Like they seem to have such a detailed
Speaker 1: memory of the Trump administration and like anything that people
Speaker 1: made fun of Trump for, they're like, what about that
Speaker 1: Biden just dropped a piece of candy? So in your face,
Speaker 1: because didn't Trump like put put a piece of candy
Speaker 1: on a kid's head at one point?
Speaker 2: There was something where he didn't know what to do with.
Speaker 3: The costume candy, Like it was the difference being Donald
Speaker 3: Trump looked completely lost interacting with children, like versus Biden. Yeah,
Speaker 3: he's like old grandpa, Like, sure he's gonna he's gonna
Speaker 3: drop a couple fucking words, yeah, as he tries to
Speaker 3: fill up the kid's satchels.
Speaker 1: But Trump interacting with children by not knowing what to
Speaker 1: do with the candy and like putting it on top
Speaker 1: of like a mingion's head or something because the kid
Speaker 1: didn't have arms, or him talking to the kid and
Speaker 1: being like, so are you still into Santa Claus? Is
Speaker 1: that like sort of in your purview, he like used
Speaker 1: business language or something, right, Like those are two of
Speaker 1: my favorite things about him, Like it wasn't like those
Speaker 1: are those are some of his highlights that go along
Speaker 1: with him being a complete Nazi piece of shit. But anyways, yeah,
Speaker 1: holy shit, he dropped a piece of candy. What if
Speaker 1: the nuclear codes were in there, we'd be we'd be
Speaker 1: in trouble.
Speaker 2: We hide it in the snickers. Yeah yeah.
Speaker 3: Well then the coughing, I just like, you know, apparently
Speaker 3: he was repeatedly.
Speaker 2: Coughing into his hand. Yeah. I mean, so many people
Speaker 2: have either COVID or the Forever cough.
Speaker 3: I feel like, yeah, just make more identifiable, can finally
Speaker 3: relate to Joe Biden because he also has the forever cough.
Speaker 1: That's right, all right, let's take a quick break and
Speaker 1: come back. I want to talk Halloween decorations. I want
Speaker 1: to talk. I want to kick us off with my
Speaker 1: my three I'm going to get opinionated here. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: get spicy here, Miles.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm looking for.
Speaker 1: Three uh three mistakes, three Halloween decoration mistakes. And then
Speaker 1: I also want to get your input on some that
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know how to feel about them.
Speaker 3: Yeah, whatever you want, man, I got my own opinions too,
Speaker 3: and I think I disagree with one of them.
Speaker 1: Oh oh, all right here we go. We'll be right back,
Speaker 1: and we're back.
Speaker 2: We're back.
Speaker 1: So I've gone around my neighborhood with a clipboard and
Speaker 1: a pen and a disapproving look on my face.
Speaker 2: M M.
Speaker 1: It's one of those pens that clicks, and I'll like
Speaker 1: click it multiple times.
Speaker 2: As I just observe people's.
Speaker 1: This is what you went with?
Speaker 3: Huh Okay, it's like, why did you click it five times?
Speaker 3: Could have just clicked at once.
Speaker 1: These are I've already told you my favorite Halloween decoration,
Speaker 1: which is the twelve foot tall home depot which that
Speaker 1: appears to be flying on broomstip which I happen.
Speaker 2: To have shout out geometry and physics. Get a lot
Speaker 2: of a lot of kids stopping by, very impressed.
Speaker 1: These are the ones. These are the one. Yeah, you
Speaker 1: think you're better than me. These are ones that I
Speaker 1: feel like I need to stop, or like need to
Speaker 1: at least be used in better moderation. Okay, the yellow
Speaker 1: police tape, Yeah, okay, I'm okay with a little yellow
Speaker 1: police tape. If you've got like a wild murder scene
Speaker 1: happening on your front lawn, like crow a line of
Speaker 1: police tape up for very similitude. We're good. But there
Speaker 1: are people who like this is their this is the
Speaker 1: you know color that they paint with his yellow police tape,
Speaker 1: And that's like their entire concept is like, what if
Speaker 1: like our whole yard was just like mummified with yellow fucking.
Speaker 2: Police right, and what else? Not?
Speaker 1: Just that just that man, like, what if like somebody
Speaker 1: really went wild, must imply that something bad like must
Speaker 1: have really happened here, but it ends up just looking
Speaker 1: like a construction site.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know the I think it's also like to
Speaker 3: your point, it's lazy. Like some people will just like
Speaker 3: sort of tape off their yard with like one random
Speaker 3: thing and be like, see now this shit's freaky.
Speaker 2: Yeah, when you can, you know, do better, do better.
Speaker 3: And also I'm not really into seeing police tape just
Speaker 3: a general. I could use a different aesthetic that would
Speaker 3: bring about, you know, a fright within me than see though,
Speaker 3: there was a person in my neighbor who had l
Speaker 3: a p D police tape. I don't know where the
Speaker 3: fuck they got it, but they had the official ship
Speaker 3: and I remember at one point like they put their
Speaker 3: stuff up early and people my neighborhood thought something actually
Speaker 3: happened at the yeah, because they had.
Speaker 1: It's also yeah, it's also a functional thing that lets
Speaker 1: you know something bad has happened. So I don't know,
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, doesn't it doesn't like look cool, it doesn't.
Speaker 1: It just like is confusing. I would say in general,
Speaker 1: you know, if you want to use it in one
Speaker 1: spot that is like very clearly part of a police
Speaker 1: of a larger theme or like you're creating a scene, fine,
Speaker 1: but let yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3: I'd say, like do it over your front door and
Speaker 3: do like blood splat like gore on your door with
Speaker 3: like you know, X out your door. Like, so just
Speaker 3: keep it to the on the door. We get it,
Speaker 3: we get Yeah, more gore on the door. That's all
Speaker 3: I'm saying.
Speaker 1: All Right, this one might be controversial, but Biden pubes
Speaker 1: the white cotton fake spider web things.
Speaker 2: I call it witch hair.
Speaker 1: But yeah, whitch hair. Yes, yes, for me, this is
Speaker 1: the number one offender. It's probably the most common Halloween decoration,
Speaker 1: and it almost always sucks. I feel like, Okay, like,
Speaker 1: first of all, I never I never have like my
Speaker 1: kids stop and say, whoa, look at the fake spider
Speaker 1: you know, like it doesn't really look that much like
Speaker 1: spider web, and like it's usually not stretched like the
Speaker 1: way that it Like sometimes it just looks like they
Speaker 1: just like took it out of the bag and just
Speaker 1: like kind of draped it there. It just it feels
Speaker 1: overused and doesn't really have the effect that I think
Speaker 1: people are hoping it will have when they when they
Speaker 1: put it up. It could be it can be a
Speaker 1: fine accent, but it shouldn't again, should not be the
Speaker 1: main show and.
Speaker 2: Stretch that shit out.
Speaker 1: You can't just have like clumps of it, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean.
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is the one. I love witch hair, Okay,
Speaker 3: I think because I just like witch hair. Yeah, and
Speaker 3: for no other reason aside from just I like miss
Speaker 3: the misnomer of calling fake spider web's witch hair.
Speaker 2: I think.
Speaker 1: So you're implying that the whole decoration is actually them
Speaker 1: being like a shed all over your eah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, just like a witch's hair just like blowing
Speaker 3: off in the breeze. Like what's her face in the
Speaker 3: craft when she said hair starts falling, It just keeps
Speaker 3: falling out. But like I think that with the spider webs,
Speaker 3: to your point, people just get that clump. They just
Speaker 3: stretch it like as far as their arms go and
Speaker 3: they're like, yeah, that's good, I'll put them on that,
Speaker 3: and you're like, no, that fucking looks It's.
Speaker 2: Like it's like the fucking police tape. People get lazy.
Speaker 3: They think the mere presence of the witch hair makes
Speaker 3: the shit spooky. You gotta put a little bit effort
Speaker 3: of effort into it. Another side note, I remember there
Speaker 3: was a girl on my like high school that was
Speaker 3: scolding people because they were pointing out that it's hazardous
Speaker 3: to birds and like nature like to have your trees
Speaker 3: off thumbed up with that ship.
Speaker 1: Yeah, such a pain in the ass to get rid
Speaker 1: of too, Like you see that shit just like stuck
Speaker 1: in the trees after the fact.
Speaker 2: I don't know, man, just go hard, go hard on
Speaker 2: the witch hair.
Speaker 3: I think it's just more like I've seen someone do
Speaker 3: it cool, like where it looked like their car, like
Speaker 3: they had an old car in their driveway and they
Speaker 3: stretch it out nice so it looked like a fucking
Speaker 3: giant spider like was fucking up their car. Yeah, but
Speaker 3: like I'm merely putting it over some shrubs next to
Speaker 3: your door.
Speaker 2: That's fucking lazy.
Speaker 1: And I've been guilty of this in the past, and
Speaker 1: I get it, I get it, I get it. It's
Speaker 1: just people.
Speaker 2: It's intoxicating.
Speaker 3: The police tape the witch hair and they think this
Speaker 3: the mere presence of it is enough.
Speaker 2: You've gotta do the work.
Speaker 1: Tiny gravestones. This is on Amazon and not the people
Speaker 1: who buy it, but it's very Most of the gravestones
Speaker 1: you can buy on Amazon are like, come up to
Speaker 1: your ship. They're tiny gravestones. They're gravestones for a dollhouse.
Speaker 1: When you put them out, I'm not mad at you,
Speaker 1: but you were signaling nothing spooky so much as Amazon
Speaker 1: got my ass or like a celler on Amazon tricked
Speaker 1: me into thinking these are gonna be the full, full
Speaker 1: sized grape.
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, I'm with that. Tiny grape
Speaker 2: zones are.
Speaker 3: But what do you think about this styrofoam like like
Speaker 3: just arms and legs that are meant to be like
Speaker 3: it used to be, like the witch getting crushed. They
Speaker 3: just put it in the ground so it looks like
Speaker 3: arms and legs are coming out like a zombie arm.
Speaker 2: I like those. Those are like the new school one.
Speaker 1: I think big time.
Speaker 2: They love those.
Speaker 1: All right, So here's here's some ones. I have questions
Speaker 1: about it. Okay, do you think snakes are are Halloween decorations?
Speaker 3: I feel like snakes are freaky when they're moving, so
Speaker 3: to see like a fake static snake ye doesn't quite
Speaker 3: do it for me. But I know people who are
Speaker 3: very fucking afraid of snakes and just even a rubber
Speaker 3: one will set them off.
Speaker 2: So I don't know, I'm not a fan. I mean,
Speaker 2: what are we talking about, just like having a pile
Speaker 2: of fucking snakes everywhere?
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like sometimes people have fake snakes involved in their
Speaker 1: Halloween decorations and I'm like, for no good reason, I'm like, no,
Speaker 1: snakes aren't aren't spooky. They're scary, but they're not spooky.
Speaker 1: They don't count.
Speaker 2: That's where we're coming from.
Speaker 1: Sharks are scary, but like a shark is a shark
Speaker 1: Halloween decoration? Like that doesn't fit because that's not where
Speaker 1: get your ass, you know? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, I think
Speaker 1: more Indiana Jones like style, like Jungle Ship.
Speaker 3: The ones that are cool are like when people use
Speaker 3: the projected animation of snakes and they projected onto something
Speaker 3: so it looks like ship's actually slithering because there's like
Speaker 3: motion that that I'm down with, Like the idea of
Speaker 3: moving snakes I think can be spooky, but just random snakes.
Speaker 1: Yeah nah, But spiders do make the make the leap,
Speaker 1: and do do spook me out?
Speaker 2: They do belong. Yeah, what do you think about birds?
Speaker 1: Like a lot a lot of people are just like
Speaker 1: these these crows, these black crows are evil.
Speaker 3: I'm not a fan of the anti crow propaganda out there. Yeah,
Speaker 3: and raven They're very intelligent animals, so I want to
Speaker 3: give them that. Although I did see somebody put them
Speaker 3: in their tree, like it looked like a full on
Speaker 3: murder of crows was just chilling, and they had like
Speaker 3: glowing eyes.
Speaker 2: Yeah shit, look yes, okay, not like one random one.
Speaker 3: You want to look like a whole fucking set pulled up,
Speaker 3: like to fight another fucking raven gang or something on
Speaker 3: your block.
Speaker 2: And that I can. I like that. I like that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, black cats obviously work for Halloween, But like dogs,
Speaker 1: I feel like anytime someone's trying to incorporate dogs, that's
Speaker 1: not working as much for me. Dogs. Yeah, like sometimes
Speaker 1: they'll have the skeleton dogs. Uh. There was of course
Speaker 1: the Bye Bye Man who had a heavily featured dog
Speaker 1: in his Uh right, Bye Man isn't that what that
Speaker 1: movie was called the horror movie, whereas like if you
Speaker 1: see him, you're going to like commit a murder in
Speaker 1: the next Oh.
Speaker 3: There is a movie called Bye Bye from I have
Speaker 3: no idea about this with Faye Dunaway.
Speaker 1: Oh is that?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah, Faye Dunaway is.
Speaker 2: And carrying moss trinity from the matrix.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Is the detective okay by bimen.
Speaker 1: By bymen by Bamon's. Yeah, I guess the Hound of
Speaker 1: Bakersville is is one of the hounds, but like Hounds
Speaker 1: of Hell for some reason, have never fully baked Field Bakersfield. Yeah,
Speaker 1: now Baskerville's Baskerville Bakersfield.
Speaker 2: You go the Hounds of Baker's Field.
Speaker 1: Yeah, where's a flat brim?
Speaker 2: Yeah? For real? Pulls up with the big Fox racing
Speaker 2: sticker on the back of the pickup.
Speaker 1: Yeah. My number one Halloween decoration always impresses me. Uh,
Speaker 1: fog machine if that house has a fog machine that
Speaker 1: is actually like working. Oh, Like sometimes there's a fog
Speaker 1: machine and it's like is that a humidifier? But like
Speaker 1: when the fog machine is really like you got spitting, Yeah,
Speaker 1: when that shit is spitting wow? Yeah, come on, come on.
Speaker 3: I mean again, I think this all goes back to
Speaker 3: the thing that I'm saying is motion.
Speaker 2: Makes it spooky.
Speaker 3: Yes, if it's to static, it's like, I get it,
Speaker 3: it's like a nice sort of set piece.
Speaker 2: But if you have motion, like people who do the
Speaker 2: little fake flame.
Speaker 3: Pots and stuff with a little silk underlit silk that
Speaker 3: just blows like that, a little bit of fog, a
Speaker 3: little bit of creepy Crawley projection, that's is very easy
Speaker 3: and very spooky without having to deal with witch hair,
Speaker 3: police tape or none of that shit.
Speaker 1: That gives me and I we should we should go
Speaker 1: to market with a hand reaching out of the ground,
Speaker 1: one of those zombie hands reaching out of the ground
Speaker 1: that like moves. A little bit like that would make
Speaker 1: it twenty. It was just like like twitches, twitching, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: Like it's coming to life. Kill it. Anyway. It's all
Speaker 2: about the motion, baby, That's what I'm saying, all.
Speaker 1: About the motion. Speaking of the motion, I actually don't
Speaker 1: have a way that this is about the motion.
Speaker 2: Are they gonna make you something about Drake.
Speaker 1: Taylor Swift Pumpkin. Uh, it's it's the nightmare inducing Taylor
Speaker 1: Swift Pumpkin. Charlie Brown. I think that's that was what
Speaker 1: the Halloween special, Peanuts Halloween Special.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, this is a viral pumpkin of Taylor's. It
Speaker 3: actually looks like her, even though her head is not
Speaker 3: pumpkin shaped.
Speaker 2: No, they've made it look they've They've nailed it. I'll
Speaker 2: give them. I'll give them that.
Speaker 1: It is what you would hope for from a Taylor
Speaker 1: Swift bobblehead, you know, the Taylor Swift bobblehead, like you
Speaker 1: would want it to look this good. It is a
Speaker 1: three hundred and ninety nine pound gord that they've painted
Speaker 1: to look like Taylor Swift and they've nailed it. Past
Speaker 1: celebrity pumpkins that were less successful were Kanye.
Speaker 2: Oh, this is by the same artist, same artist, same person.
Speaker 1: They do it every year to raise money for Yeah,
Speaker 1: breast cancer awareness, breast cancer research.
Speaker 2: Got it? Yeah, maga, Kanye.

Speaker 1: Yes, he's a tight end.
Speaker 2: Yeah, catches the ball blocks, the nice big blocks. Love
Speaker 2: to see that love zoo.
Speaker 1: But yeah, like one of these tiktoks with a Kelsey
Speaker 1: Taylor Swift pairing of costumes is like POV you find
Speaker 1: the best decorated house for Halloween in the neighborhood. And
Speaker 1: I don't know what any of the ship means, like
Speaker 1: Kelsey on a skeleton torso like seemingly kneeling before Taylor
Speaker 1: Swipt like.
Speaker 2: And then those are her exes, Jake from State Farm.
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, fu Jake from State Farm. They were dating
Speaker 1: for a while.
Speaker 2: Jake Jillenhall. That's Jake Jill.
Speaker 1: Come on, Jack, you know what I was looking for,
Speaker 1: Pete because I was confusing Taylor Swift.
Speaker 3: Don't admit don't admit it out loud. Don't admit it
Speaker 3: out Oh my god, my career is over. And that
Speaker 3: was the last podcast he ever recorded. They've they've covered
Speaker 3: a lot of controversial topics, but it was when Jack
Speaker 3: ultimately confused Ariana Grande and Taylor Swift that the show's.
Speaker 1: And rightly so. Yeah, and finally, the Takeout has a
Speaker 1: nice article to make you grateful this Halloween that you
Speaker 1: live now and not in history, which is a nightmare
Speaker 1: that we're all waking up from. So they just went through, like,
Speaker 1: what were the we're the cool candies that people were
Speaker 1: giving out. First of all, trigger treating didn't really become
Speaker 1: popular until the nineteen fifties.
Speaker 3: I didn't even realize that they were pointing out that,
Speaker 3: like the phrase first trick or treat first emergeder on
Speaker 3: nineteen thirty nine, like it, Wow, they can find h
Speaker 3: But yeah, it wasn't n til the fifties till people
Speaker 3: started I guess it became a full on national thing apparently.
Speaker 1: Yeah, But so the popular Halloween candies in the nineteen
Speaker 1: twenties orange gum drops, orange jelly beans, orange buttercups, okay,
Speaker 1: and chips and hard candies, and there were black licorice
Speaker 1: gum drops and jelly beans and buttons and all possible
Speaker 1: devices that were ever seen in black candies.
Speaker 3: So they kept it on on brand with the black
Speaker 3: and orange everything.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but black black candy.
Speaker 2: Now that licorice is fucking disgusting. I'm sorry, I hate
Speaker 2: that Annis flavor fluh.
Speaker 1: Yeah, fifties they kind of like caught it up to
Speaker 1: candy corn Hershey's kisses, Hershey's miniatures, Jordan Almonds through those
Speaker 1: covered ones. Yeah, they're like candy. I think they're like
Speaker 1: a maroon ish candy around the spiced jelly.
Speaker 2: Drops of course. Ah. Chocolate Bridge mix.
Speaker 1: Is that like that bar mix that like with the
Speaker 1: chips and the pretzels and all that chip but.
Speaker 3: Just covered Bridge mix looks like a bunch of like
