1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,440
Speaker 1: Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of Victor

2
00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:08,000
Speaker 1: trend Ban Yama. There's courtesy at Johnny Davis, a play

3
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:10,719
Speaker 1: on Victor webbing Yama, who is a name that I

4
00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:12,800
Speaker 1: don't think I even need to explain who that is.

5
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:17,120
Speaker 1: To super producer Becca Ramos, who is joining us. Becca,

6
00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:20,880
Speaker 1: how are you doing? Oh I'm great. How are you?

7
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:25,000
Speaker 1: I'm good? Are you a big Victor Webban Yama believer?

8
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:32,479
Speaker 1: I think that's It's so this is a child. Essentially,

9
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:35,320
Speaker 1: he's like seventeen years old. Um. But he is seven

10
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:39,320
Speaker 1: foot four, and uh, clips are starting to surface and

11
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:42,800
Speaker 1: everybody's like, oh my god, he is the truth. This

12
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:48,720
Speaker 1: is like the basketball basketball yes, okay, yes, yes, he's

13
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:53,600
Speaker 1: like stroking threes from you know, beyond the three point

14
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:57,960
Speaker 1: line even though he's seven foot four. Um, everybody's very excited.

15
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:02,440
Speaker 1: He had his year in a United States game in

16
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:08,320
Speaker 1: Vegas recently, and it's it's exciting times. Uh. So, well,

17
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:11,040
Speaker 1: we'll see, we'll see. But I don't know. I I

18
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:15,560
Speaker 1: said seven five at one point. There's there's different conversations

19
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:18,680
Speaker 1: about how tall he is, uh, but I don't think

20
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 1: it matters. Very very tall, taller than me. So you

21
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 1: know it's anyways, So one thing that's trending. A indigenous

22
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 1: owned cafe in Portland's was vandalized by Antifa, and it's

23
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 1: it's just kind of a messy story with like a

24
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 1: lot of different things going on. Yeah, I definitely I

25
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 1: saw that it was trending and I was like, oh no,

26
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 1: what's going on in Portland. I lived in Portland at

27
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 1: one point for a few years. I have quite a

28
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 1: kinship with it, but I definitely am very critical of

29
00:01:56,240 --> 00:02:00,080
Speaker 1: the history of what's been going on during COVID it

30
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 1: all the Proud Boys stuff. I definitely have friends. All

31
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 1: my friends have left Portland's since I moved because they

32
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:10,799
Speaker 1: were black and brown people who genuinely started to feel

33
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 1: unsafe in a way that they were like, I feel

34
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:16,520
Speaker 1: more safe in New York City than I do in Portland, Oregon.

35
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:21,800
Speaker 1: It's gotten that bad. So apparently this indigenous owned coffee shop,

36
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 1: according to town hall dot com, it is one of

37
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:28,960
Speaker 1: the only Indigenous owned coffee shops in Portland, called the

38
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 1: Bison Cafe, where they were hosting a Coffee with a

39
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 1: Cop event in hopes to bring the community and the

40
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 1: police together to help with public safety and then Earlier

41
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 1: that morning, at like six am, about six vandals vandalize

42
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 1: the shop analyzed a lot of the Native American artwork

43
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 1: in the shop. For me, as a woman of color

44
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 1: who lived in Portland, I'm very conflicted and confused about

45
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 1: this story as to like a hurt in the sense

46
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 1: of like, I I can't believe, you know, it's just

47
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 1: saying that I feel like many BIPUC people know not

48
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 1: all skin vulk or con vulcan, and it is confusing

49
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 1: to me when I see people who look like me,

50
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 1: who you know, experience similar discrimination and or you know,

51
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:23,520
Speaker 1: definitely experienced hardships from the government in this country because

52
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 1: it's not built for us to be Bootlook but the

53
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 1: boot licking so to speak, uh Antifa is you know,

54
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 1: definitely proud of themselves. In a sense, it seems all

55
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 1: the posts are very much like, yeah, you can be

56
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 1: boot licking. Got him. Um. I don't know if there's

57
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 1: any winners in this scenario, especially, I think there's a

58
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 1: lot of um conversation that this is kind of overshadowing

59
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 1: the fact that the MINOTMA County Sheriff's deputy shot a

60
00:03:56,520 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 1: civilian near the Lloyd Center, which is in East Portland

61
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 1: in more towards the city center. This coffee shop is

62
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 1: definitely deep East Portland off Street, and there's been like

63
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 1: no investigation, there's been no information about it. We don't

64
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 1: know if this person is alive or dead. So it

65
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 1: just goes to speak that Portland is continuing to be

66
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 1: a messy, scary place when it comes to police brutality, corruption. Yeah,

67
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 1: and the tension you're talking about about, like between persons

68
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 1: of color who then fall to the right, the conservative

69
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 1: side of things. I feel like, I know, just looking

70
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:34,280
Speaker 1: at the outlook, I think a lot of people think

71
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 1: Tim Scott will be Trump's running mate for the election.

72
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 1: And that's like, so that's gonna just continue to be

73
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:48,839
Speaker 1: sort of a a thing. Um, the dissonance at the

74
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:52,039
Speaker 1: at the center of like what everything that they're doing,

75
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 1: you know, with policy and basically everything else about them

76
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:02,360
Speaker 1: being white supremacist. Yeah. Ted Wheeler, uh, you know, made

77
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:04,919
Speaker 1: a comment a statement about it, saying like we're gonna,

78
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 1: you know, do our best to find who did this

79
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 1: and like, you know, prosecuting the best of our ability.

80
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 1: Blah blah. Of course about the coffee shop fantilization when

81
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:17,040
Speaker 1: it involves cops, and they saw the event apparently later

82
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:21,360
Speaker 1: that day, but not about a civilian being shot at

83
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 1: the Lloyd Center. And that to me is gross and sad,

84
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 1: um and frustrating. It is something activists are fighting to

85
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 1: this day in Portland, and I just hope, you know,

86
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 1: people in Portland stay vigilant, stay safe. I know so

87
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 1: many areas of Portland are feeling unsafe, and they obviously

88
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 1: have such a deep history of racism because it's the

89
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 1: only state that literally made black people leave officially on paper.

90
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 1: That's why you don't see black people in Portland a

91
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:52,039
Speaker 1: lot of times, because they were not allowed to be

92
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:57,360
Speaker 1: there for a long time. Um. But yeah, um, Bank Brandon.

93
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:02,919
Speaker 1: It is trending, which that's I guess a reaction to

94
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:07,360
Speaker 1: the fact that Biden pardoned thousands of people convicted of

95
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 1: marijuana possession. Um, which feels like a very straightforward, correct

96
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 1: and good move. Uh, you know, trying to disassemble some

97
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 1: of the war on drugs apparatus that has been proven

98
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:28,720
Speaker 1: to be white supremacist and ineffective and should have happened already. Um.

99
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 1: It's also being framed as a an October surprise to

100
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:35,480
Speaker 1: win political points like the timing we were like, wait,

101
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:38,679
Speaker 1: but why isn't he doing this earlier? And it's because

102
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 1: like the timing, the optics could have been better as

103
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 1: as we get closer to the election. I mean, it's

104
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 1: it falls under the same umbrella of like this, like

105
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:49,359
Speaker 1: student loan relief, of like let's make by it and

106
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:52,599
Speaker 1: look as good as possible, you know, be vigilant by

107
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,280
Speaker 1: the way for that, you know, sign up for the

108
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 1: Department of Education emails to make sure that you sign

109
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 1: up in time for the portal to apply for student

110
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 1: debt relief. They're saying it's going to become increasingly harder

111
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 1: calm closer than November in December to receive that relief,

112
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 1: so vigilant this month they're supposed to announce that, Yeah,

113
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:20,240
Speaker 1: there is a picture of a bunch of um people

114
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:24,000
Speaker 1: who are activists trying to get this sort of carcial

115
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 1: system reform, and that they had a giant inflatable joint

116
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 1: on the lawn of the White House with the words Biden,

117
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 1: come on man written on it. And it's a good image. Yeah. Yeah,

118
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 1: And Velma is trending. Velma from Scooby Doo apparently in

119
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 1: an upcoming movie Scooby Doo Trigger treat Velma is going

120
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 1: to have a storyline where she has a crush on

121
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 1: another woman, and it's you know that this is something

122
00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 1: that I think people just assumed that Velma was gay.

123
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 1: And apparently Velma was modeled off of a child actor

124
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:11,800
Speaker 1: who turned out to be one of the first gay

125
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 1: like elected officials in l a um and just everything

126
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:19,680
Speaker 1: like it was kind of an open secret type thing.

127
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 1: But the fact when you google Velma, uh, the results

128
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 1: come up and then comfetti and pride flags literally dropped

129
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:33,080
Speaker 1: from the top of your browser. Um, so Google is

130
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 1: this celebrating? Yeah, you wins. But I will say, uh.

131
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:41,720
Speaker 1: In the original, like live action Scooby Doo from the

132
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 1: early arts, uh, Velma was supposed to be like openly gay. Like.

133
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 1: The makers of the movie have stated that in many interviews,

134
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:54,720
Speaker 1: being like the script. Yeah, in the original script as gay,

135
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 1: but between like all of the you know, studio notes

136
00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:00,960
Speaker 1: and things like that, by the time the movie came out,

137
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:03,680
Speaker 1: it was eventually like not only just watered down, but

138
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:08,360
Speaker 1: written out of the script that she was gay. So yeah,

139
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:11,840
Speaker 1: And in the sequel she has a male loving yes,

140
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 1: And then by the sequel she has a boyfriend, and

141
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 1: then it's seth yes, which is like, I guess that

142
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 1: makes sense. I don't know, right, I'm happy. I'm excited

143
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:26,280
Speaker 1: to watch it. I have always been a big fan

144
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 1: of the Scooby Doo franchise and Velma in particular, So yeah,

145
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:35,080
Speaker 1: I want to win. Yeah. Conservative outlets are obviously quick

146
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:37,920
Speaker 1: to point they're like the original creative team behind Scooby

147
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:41,520
Speaker 1: Doo said that Velma wasn't gay. Um, but when you

148
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:44,959
Speaker 1: dig a little deeper, thanks to our writer j M.

149
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:47,960
Speaker 1: He dug a little deeper. Her character was inspired by

150
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:50,760
Speaker 1: a brainy quote tomboy child actor from the fifties and

151
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 1: sixties TV who later went on to become, like I said,

152
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:56,560
Speaker 1: the first openly gay or lesbian person elected to the

153
00:09:56,600 --> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 1: California legislature. So it is like nick and lesbian culture

154
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:05,240
Speaker 1: that Velma is queer. Um. All right, let's sake a

Speaker 1: let's talk Halloween costumes. Uh. Let's let's you know, every

157
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:27,320
Speaker 1: every October we like to check in with what what's

158
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:30,559
Speaker 1: trending on the Halloween costume front. It sounds like you

159
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 1: are a clever Halloween costume person. I love Halloween already

160
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:39,200
Speaker 1: stated this on trending. My favorite time a year. I

161
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:42,280
Speaker 1: love to dress up. I love I mean, I'm Latina

162
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:44,200
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, you know, we love

163
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:48,840
Speaker 1: to to put on a show. Um, I have had

164
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 1: a few. I feel like iconic costumes. I like a

165
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 1: costume that, like it doesn't have to be expensive, like

166
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:58,040
Speaker 1: you don't have to be like full on cosplay. But

167
00:10:58,120 --> 00:10:59,600
Speaker 1: I want to know what you are, Like I want

168
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:01,040
Speaker 1: to be able to look at you and you be

169
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:03,280
Speaker 1: able to be like, oh my god, yeah. Like I

170
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 1: don't want a costume that's like, oh I put it

171
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:07,840
Speaker 1: together with like just a T shirt and jeans type

172
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:10,080
Speaker 1: of thing, and I'm like this TV character. No, I

173
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 1: want to know that when I look at you, I

174
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:13,360
Speaker 1: can figure out who you are. And I love if

175
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:16,320
Speaker 1: it's scrappy and I say that all to say is

176
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:19,040
Speaker 1: that in high school I have bought this green morph

177
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 1: suit and it has carried me to this day. I

178
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 1: bought a new one to replace it because it ripped,

179
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:29,319
Speaker 1: but is like the full body spandex green, like like

180
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:30,959
Speaker 1: you could like be on a green screen and you

181
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:33,960
Speaker 1: couldn't see any type of Thingum, but it goes over

182
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 1: the head or this one has a removable head because

183
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 1: I'm claustrophobic. Yeah, that's a lot and also not as versatile.

184
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:46,240
Speaker 1: I have used this morph suit to be four different costumes,

185
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 1: and you know, listeners, vote what new green thing you

186
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:52,040
Speaker 1: want me to be next. I've had a few people

187
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:54,840
Speaker 1: chime in, but I was. I bought it to be

188
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:57,520
Speaker 1: the Hulk in high school, which is if you've ever

189
00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 1: seen me, you would laugh because I'm a very tiny person.

190
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:04,080
Speaker 1: But I had these whole hands and purple shorts and

191
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:07,400
Speaker 1: I wore the green moorp suit painted my face. Uh.

192
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:10,320
Speaker 1: And then I I've done it to be a Ninja turtle.

193
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:15,040
Speaker 1: I have used it to be Luigi Um. I've used

194
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:18,839
Speaker 1: it to be a crocodile and my ex was um

195
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 1: the Crocodile Hunter. So it's been a very versatile good

196
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 1: costume me. I made the tail. Uh. If you creep

197
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:27,960
Speaker 1: far enough back into my social media, I'm sure you

198
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 1: can find it. But I put it out there. What

199
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:35,679
Speaker 1: green things should I be? I've gotten Kraiola Cran, I've

200
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:41,640
Speaker 1: gotten Yoshi Um, poison Ivy. This costume is I'm like,

201
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:43,280
Speaker 1: this should be a running bit. Now I'm gonna be

202
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:46,120
Speaker 1: a green thing every year. First my life, so tell

203
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:47,600
Speaker 1: me what green thing I should be. So I'm going

204
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:50,120
Speaker 1: to be a green thing this year because so usually

205
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 1: I I've talked before about how I have a Batman costume,

206
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 1: like a full body costume with the muscles built in,

207
00:12:57,080 --> 00:13:00,160
Speaker 1: and it's too small for me and it leaves. It's

208
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:04,240
Speaker 1: been christened camel toe Batman because it really digs in

209
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:07,440
Speaker 1: there and it can be embarrassing. But I figured out

210
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:10,839
Speaker 1: if you wear jeans underneath, it's okay. Um, So my

211
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:14,959
Speaker 1: son is going to be Spider Man and my wife

212
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:17,520
Speaker 1: is also going to be Spider Man. So I was like, okay,

213
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:20,400
Speaker 1: so maybe we could find like maybe I could be

214
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:23,959
Speaker 1: Spider Pig or something like that and it could be

215
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:26,440
Speaker 1: like into the Spider Verse type theme. But then I

216
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 1: thought maybe it would be more fun if I was

217
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:31,160
Speaker 1: Green Goblin, and so I got a good green Goblin mask.

218
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:35,880
Speaker 1: Halloween costume shopping online is still such a mess. It is.

219
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:40,800
Speaker 1: It's such a mess. It's like the you and I mean,

220
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:43,000
Speaker 1: so I got the mask. That was quick and then

221
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:47,080
Speaker 1: but the full body suit that's supposed to go, you know,

222
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:50,800
Speaker 1: to fill the outfit out is not like I don't

223
00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:52,680
Speaker 1: know if it's going to get here on time, and

224
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:55,160
Speaker 1: like if it's gonna fit me or any any of

225
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 1: that stuff. Um, it just it really feels like I

226
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:03,240
Speaker 1: don't know if someone should have fixed this and made

227
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:07,600
Speaker 1: it better by now, because it's it's hard. I I mean,

228
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:10,920
Speaker 1: I guess the answer is to be creative and that

229
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:14,040
Speaker 1: there's actually a good New York Meg. There's plenty of

230
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:17,160
Speaker 1: really bad articles that are like, here are the topical

231
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:21,080
Speaker 1: Halloween costumes for this year, and like sf Gate has

232
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:25,040
Speaker 1: one that's got adult Elvis costume and they're like, you know,

233
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:30,120
Speaker 1: because Elvis for some reason, adult Patrick Bateman American Psycho costumes.

234
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:32,560
Speaker 1: That one has been coming up a lot lately. The

235
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 1: Patrick Bateman one, I feel like, yeah, I mean it

236
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:38,800
Speaker 1: is like an iconic that's a classic. Yeah. But then

237
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:43,360
Speaker 1: they also have Avril Levine and Avril Levine Halloween costume

238
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 1: there for some reason, I don't know where where this

239
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:51,240
Speaker 1: became topical. So I would say skip the sf Gate recommendations.

240
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:54,680
Speaker 1: But New York Magazine Strategist has is the cream of

241
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:58,720
Speaker 1: the crop. I think in terms of ideas for topical

242
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:02,840
Speaker 1: Halloween costume, you've got Evelyn Wing from everything everywhere, all

243
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 1: at once with the hot dog fingers. That one is

244
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:07,920
Speaker 1: a good one. Yeah. They link off to a place

245
00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:13,000
Speaker 1: where you can buy hot dog finger gloves from Carmi Barsato.

246
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 1: From the Bear, just a blue apron with chef clugs

247
00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:20,920
Speaker 1: and a white T shirt. I kind of like that

248
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:22,560
Speaker 1: one you were you were saying that was in the

249
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:25,000
Speaker 1: in the mix for you guys. Yes, my partner was

250
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:28,200
Speaker 1: like a big fan of the Bear um and asked

251
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:30,880
Speaker 1: if we could do that one. Um. But I do

252
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:33,080
Speaker 1: feel like it's going to be a very common costume

253
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:34,880
Speaker 1: this year. Like I feel like a lot of couples

254
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:38,400
Speaker 1: are going to do that one. Um. Some of these

255
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:42,440
Speaker 1: other ones, uh, the FBI's raid on Maral Lago. I

256
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:45,560
Speaker 1: feel like that one's funny. Yeah, just a just an

257
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:48,760
Speaker 1: FBI wind breaker. But you are you are still being

258
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:52,880
Speaker 1: an FBI agent, which is rough. Yeah, which is not great.

259
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:55,240
Speaker 1: We're a cap here, so you know. They have a

260
00:15:55,280 --> 00:16:00,160
Speaker 1: whole like suite of Don't Worry Darling costumes, but they're

261
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:03,400
Speaker 1: from the press tour of Don't Worry Darling, like yeah,

262
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:06,720
Speaker 1: which is crazy. They just you look like people, you

263
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:10,440
Speaker 1: just like. One of them is Olivia Wild in a

264
00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:15,400
Speaker 1: yellow like gown and looks more like Bell than you're

265
00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:18,480
Speaker 1: gonna get Bell, for sure. The one that I could

266
00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 1: see myself identifying is they have hairy styles with the

267
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:28,320
Speaker 1: just giant powder blue collar that like comes all the

268
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:32,120
Speaker 1: way down from when he supposedly spit on Crisp pine Um.

269
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:35,360
Speaker 1: The Beyonce Renaissance one is fun. Beyonce Renaissance one is

270
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:39,720
Speaker 1: very ambitious. You have to be ready to be naked.

271
00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:43,040
Speaker 1: And if you're gonna be in a place where it's cold,

272
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:46,280
Speaker 1: I don't recommend. Like in New York, I'm looking for

273
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:49,760
Speaker 1: a costumers going to cover me up. I just in Portland,

274
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 1: same thing. I was wearing costumes that covered me up.

275
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:54,720
Speaker 1: I was like, I'm not into I've never been into

276
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:57,120
Speaker 1: the sexy costume. I'm here for the women that are.

277
00:16:57,160 --> 00:17:00,160
Speaker 1: I'm like, be out there, be proud, be empowering. I

278
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:02,800
Speaker 1: love that for you. I'm a nerd. I'm gonna do

279
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:07,439
Speaker 1: a weird costume. I'm gonna do something very authentic. And

280
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:10,240
Speaker 1: the Beyonce Renaissance one is the outfit from the album

281
00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:13,320
Speaker 1: cover with you know, a big, long blond wig that

282
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:16,400
Speaker 1: might make people yeah. But then they have like the

283
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:21,119
Speaker 1: toy horse like version like Pearl toy Horse, and I

284
00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:23,919
Speaker 1: feel like it's just so then you are enorm like

285
00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:28,359
Speaker 1: giant Beyonce from the Renaissance cover. I don't know they

286
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:34,199
Speaker 1: have Serena Williams bedazzled outfit. Fire Island Group costume is

287
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:39,679
Speaker 1: which I think that one is ambitious because you're basically naked,

288
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:42,679
Speaker 1: because it's based in the summer, we go to Fire Island.

289
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:45,679
Speaker 1: But be I'm like, that's gay culture, Like people just

290
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:48,800
Speaker 1: look like that, Like how I have many friends that

291
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:52,800
Speaker 1: dress like that at the club, So it's not it

292
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:54,879
Speaker 1: feels appropriate if you're not a part of the community.

293
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:57,320
Speaker 1: I guess that's what I'm saying. So tell the line

294
00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:00,399
Speaker 1: with the Fire Island costume. I think the one that

295
00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:04,760
Speaker 1: I like best in terms of probably easy to pull off.

296
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:07,000
Speaker 1: I do think most people would know who you were

297
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:13,679
Speaker 1: is Nathan Fielder in the rehearsal Um. It's just a

298
00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:16,840
Speaker 1: gray crew neck sweatshirt and then you just have to

299
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:20,000
Speaker 1: like put some scrappy things on. You got to put

300
00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:23,480
Speaker 1: the laptop harness. Yeah, so you just need to get

301
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:28,040
Speaker 1: the Connected Desk laptop Harness walking desk, which is forty

302
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:32,160
Speaker 1: dollars at buy at Connected Desk and fifty dollars of Amazon.

303
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:36,000
Speaker 1: That's a good one. I feel like, at least for me,

304
00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:39,159
Speaker 1: I feel like I could pull that off because I

305
00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:42,000
Speaker 1: also kind of look like that and we're about the

306
00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:45,960
