Speaker 1: If I was in a hunted house and all of
Speaker 1: a sudden, like I go into one around a corner
Speaker 1: and I'm walking in like three inches of muddy water.
Speaker 1: Yea infuriate me.
Speaker 2: I don't like some haunted houses incorporate water effects. I'm
Speaker 2: not a big fan of those. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I don't want to get wet. Yeah, I don't want
Speaker 1: to feel moisture in a dark room.
Speaker 3: Pasha Tosh shot, Hello and welcome to Tosh Show.
Speaker 1: I'm your host, Dan Tosh.
Speaker 2: Wh Eddie.
Speaker 4: How's it going, Tosh Man?
Speaker 1: Man, it's long and plump and ready to pump.
Speaker 4: Okay, yeah, huh did you.
Speaker 1: Ever say that one? Back in high school?
Speaker 5: Never said that. That one must have slipped through the
Speaker 5: vernacular in my school.
Speaker 1: I used to say that. I used to say it
Speaker 1: every day. My teacher, Big, how you doing. I'm long
Speaker 1: and plump and ready to pump? And she was like,
Speaker 1: that's my.
Speaker 4: Boy to adults.
Speaker 1: Oh man, good times at Astronaut High School. I mean
Speaker 1: a good mood because I've almost fulfilled all the horrible
Speaker 1: parent obligations for Halloween.
Speaker 2: Just one more.
Speaker 1: I just have one more to do, and that is
Speaker 1: trick or treating, which I always thought was the only
Speaker 1: thing we had to do.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: Then I had a family, and my wife say, you know,
Speaker 1: we got to go to Underwood Farms.
Speaker 2: Oh, what is that.
Speaker 1: It's a place about an hour away, pumpkin patch. They
Speaker 1: got some rides. If you call them rides a slide.
Speaker 1: You feed a couple of animals, you give them way
Speaker 1: too much money for gords. You sweat the temperature of
Speaker 1: my house. Nice seventy degrees get there ninety two lovely.
Speaker 1: Speaking of that, we were up in Tahoe the week
Speaker 1: before and my wife was like, Oh, let's go on
Speaker 1: over to this place called Apple Hill. They've got tons
Speaker 1: of fall festival things going on. You get apple pies,
Speaker 1: there's an orchard you walk around. First of all, I go, okay,
Speaker 1: how far away is it?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 1: Two hours and ten minutes what basically went to Sacramento.
Speaker 6: Fucking horrible.
Speaker 1: You don't live in Tahoe and vacation in Sacramento. That's absurd.
Speaker 1: But we did it. We drove there and sure enough
Speaker 1: it was boiling ninety eight degrees out. Oh, this is
Speaker 1: this is superfall. I bought a turnover, had a turnover
Speaker 1: into apple cinnamon donuts. That was all right, and then
Speaker 1: we just like hopped around from bad Orchard to bad orchard.
Speaker 1: There's a bunch of old obese No. I mean, I
Speaker 1: shouldn't care about the size, but they there was just
Speaker 1: a lot of old obese people. Then me and my
Speaker 1: young family just is, yeah, we're here too, made no sense. Bees,
Speaker 1: yellow jackets everywhere.
Speaker 2: I'm like, this is awful. Oh, let's get back in the.
Speaker 1: Car that two hour drive back to the beautiful place
Speaker 1: we live. So you're four and a half hours in
Speaker 1: the car that day, so go get a turnover.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't get it. What's the next thing I did?
Speaker 1: Nights of the jack that's up in Calabasas. Yeah, that
Speaker 1: I don't mind. It's at night, and you get a
Speaker 1: there's a bunch of food trucks, and then you walk
Speaker 1: a mile and a half loop in this park and
Speaker 1: they've set up all kinds of Halloween lights. Kids seem
Speaker 1: to enjoy it. I don't mind it because I get
Speaker 1: to eat. As long as i'm eating, I'm happy.
Speaker 4: That's the key.
Speaker 1: You You like Halloween, don't you, Hattie.
Speaker 4: I do like Halloween.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because you sold your sould of the devil.
Speaker 4: I sold my soul of the devil.
Speaker 2: Do you dress up?
Speaker 4: I don't dress up. I do like a you know,
Speaker 4: decorate the house.
Speaker 2: You decorate the house.
Speaker 4: But you hand candy out, hand out candy?
Speaker 5: Yep.
Speaker 1: Are you proud of the candy you give? Or do
Speaker 1: you not care?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 5: I do five nice bags at Costco, good sized candy bars.
Speaker 4: We have a ton of people come through.
Speaker 1: My manager, Christy Smith, just loves to brag that I
Speaker 1: give out whole bars. Last year I gave out three
Speaker 1: hundred and seventy four. Who cares. I turned the lights
Speaker 1: off at our house and we go to another neighborhood
Speaker 1: where it's more congested, and you knock it out. You
Speaker 1: do one street, you hit three hundred homes. I've never
Speaker 1: once been home to hand out candy.
Speaker 4: You don't understand this side of this lightop.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I don't get it. No, I don't get it, and
Speaker 1: I don't care anyway. My son's good for about forty
Speaker 1: five minutes, maybe an hour of actual trick or treating.
Speaker 1: And we started at five o'clock and by six we're done.
Speaker 1: Now he likes to be scared, but you know, five
Speaker 1: year old scared Where I hide in the house and
Speaker 1: he comes on around a corner scream and he almost
Speaker 1: falls over. I don't think he's ready for like a
Speaker 1: severed head to be thrown at him.
Speaker 2: Like today's guest.
Speaker 1: This guy, This guy is cashed in on America's love
Speaker 1: affair of being terrified.
Speaker 2: Enjoy catcha.
Speaker 1: My guest today has made his living lurking in the shadows,
Speaker 1: speaking in whispers, and blurring the line between nightmares and
Speaker 1: reality with several insanely successful haunted houses nationwide. May God
Speaker 1: have mercy on his soul, please welcome the architect of fear, Chris. Chris,
Speaker 1: thank you for being here.
Speaker 6: Yeah, thanks for having me appreciate it.
Speaker 1: Where are you from?
Speaker 6: Originally originally from upstate New York? Rochester?
Speaker 2: Rochester?
Speaker 1: You know Rochester gets a bad rap sometimes.
Speaker 6: I think it does. Yeah, I agree.
Speaker 1: You give me a choice of where to live, Rochester
Speaker 1: or Buffalo. I'm taking Rochester every time.
Speaker 6: I agree, hands down.
Speaker 2: I think lately it's gotten some press for great places
Speaker 2: to live or something like that.
Speaker 1: It's nice to hear. Yeah, I just want the people
Speaker 1: of Buffalo to know that their place is horrible.
Speaker 2: All right.
Speaker 1: So now you live you live in Denver.
Speaker 6: I live in Denver.
Speaker 2: Yeah, my wife thinks I live here a part time,
Speaker 2: but I live in Denver.
Speaker 1: You do a lot of work in laws.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 6: Yeah, we have four events here in La now, so
Speaker 6: I'm out here a lot.
Speaker 1: Talk to me about Sean Payton. Were you happy with
Speaker 1: that decision?
Speaker 6: Yes? I was happy with that, and then you knew.
Speaker 1: That the writing was on the wall for Old Russ.
Speaker 6: It sure looked like that right away.
Speaker 1: Do you blame John Elway?
Speaker 6: I think John Elway just came out and blamed himself.
Speaker 1: Actually, John Elway, maybe he's just trying to cement his
Speaker 1: own legacy by never letting someone better than him become
Speaker 1: a quarterback in Denver.
Speaker 6: That would be a conspiracy, but I could get behind him.
Speaker 1: Does he still have all those dealerships everywhere he does?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yep, so there's still one down in South Bay.
Speaker 4: Eddy, I think I bought a Toyota from a while back.
Speaker 1: You bought a Toyota from John Elwack.
Speaker 2: Good on you.
Speaker 1: How many haunted houses are we looking at now?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 6: We have eighteen and twelve different markets.
Speaker 2: Are you the biggest company that does this? As far
Speaker 2: as I'm aware, we are the largest Halloween live event
Speaker 2: company in the world.
Speaker 1: And you had a hunted house called thirteenth floor. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it started in Denver. Originally what floor was it on?
Speaker 2: On ground level? But so the backstory is the thirteenth
Speaker 2: floor is hidden underground so that they can they can
Speaker 2: hide it because it's absence in so many buildings.
Speaker 1: Did you ever hear Mitch Hedberg's joke about the thirteenth floor?
Speaker 6: No, huh, he had a joke.
Speaker 1: But if you if you kill yourself on the fourteenth floor,
Speaker 1: you're going to die sooner.
Speaker 6: You're losing me on this one.
Speaker 1: Because they don't they don't have that. It's actually the
Speaker 1: third The fourteenth floor is always the thing, gotcha? Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know what, I probably didn't do the joke.
Speaker 2: Did I do the joke? Right?
Speaker 4: I gotta look it up.
Speaker 1: It said something like it doesn't matter who cares. Now,
Speaker 1: I'll be honest with you, my favorite holiday is Christmas
Speaker 1: and my second favorite holiday is Christmas Eve. To me,
Speaker 1: the best thing about Halloween is getting ready for Christmas.
Speaker 1: Now it's acceptable to start selling.
Speaker 2: Well, now it's it's Christmas is in the stories before
Speaker 2: Halloween even kicks off.
Speaker 6: It's pretty crazy.
Speaker 1: Are you one of these people that Halloween was always
Speaker 1: your favorite holiday or.
Speaker 2: No, probably, Yeah, I mean Christmas is pretty close, but
Speaker 2: Halloween I think was you know, it was it was
Speaker 2: fun being involved in haunted houses. It's a very unique
Speaker 2: way to celebrate the season. And you know, I like
Speaker 2: the Fall a lot, so it just kind of tied together.
Speaker 1: I do like the fall. You say fall over autumn?
Speaker 6: Yeah I do.
Speaker 2: I do too.
Speaker 1: Now is it just October or your year round?
Speaker 6: Now it's year round.
Speaker 2: We're already working on next season right now when this
Speaker 2: season just just kicked off?
Speaker 6: Really?
Speaker 1: So favorite a horror movie? Do you have any that
Speaker 1: you liked?
Speaker 2: You know, I grew up with the classic Slashers. I
Speaker 2: grew up in the eighties, so you know, Freddie, Jason Michael,
Speaker 2: those are kind of my go tos.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Nightmare on Elmstred As a kid, that scared me?
Speaker 6: Yeah I did.
Speaker 1: Really, you play to the one thing that that's the
Speaker 1: worst for a kid, like you can't fall asleep. If
Speaker 1: you fall asleep, you're gonna die. Did you like to
Speaker 1: be scared as a child?
Speaker 2: Not really actually, And wasn't really a big horror fan.
Speaker 2: But when I was a teenager, I was fifteen years
Speaker 2: old and a friend of mine called me up and said, hey,
Speaker 2: do you want to go scare some people tonight? And
Speaker 2: I said, well, are we going to get in trouble
Speaker 2: or arrested or what's Just like? His family owned a
Speaker 2: local haunted house and that's where I got started. Went
Speaker 2: out there, started scaring people, got bit by the haunted
Speaker 2: house bug, and have been involved in one way or
Speaker 2: another for my entire life. We started our first professional
Speaker 2: haunted house in two thousand and two. Okay, but from
Speaker 2: ninety eight until two thousand and ten, I had a
Speaker 2: career in banking.
Speaker 1: And how how did your wife handle you saying listen,
Speaker 1: I really want to knock it off with the banking
Speaker 1: and just go full time haunted here.
Speaker 6: Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I went to her in two thousand and six and
Speaker 2: I said, hey, I think I can scale this haunted
Speaker 2: house business.
Speaker 6: She said, let me get this straight.
Speaker 2: You have a great job, you have an awesome work
Speaker 2: life balance, they pay you well, you like what you do.
Speaker 2: She's like, I'm not saying no, but I think you
Speaker 2: should really think about this. But then in two thousand
Speaker 2: and eight, when the financial crisis hit, yep, my job
Speaker 2: became super on fun overnight. We were doing land development
Speaker 2: and construction lending. Which overnight was kind of a mess.
Speaker 2: So she said, hey, it's time for you to go
Speaker 2: do what you want to do and some fun.
Speaker 1: You know, they say happy husband, and they don't say
Speaker 1: anything because they don't care if the husbands are happy.
Speaker 1: There's no saying for happy husband. Just go to work.
Speaker 1: Were you terrified going into this like diving in.
Speaker 6: A little bit, you know? And it's funny.
Speaker 2: I hadn't thought about that in a while, but in
Speaker 2: two thousand and eight, I remember when I was like,
Speaker 2: all right, this is this is what we're going to do.
Speaker 2: And I was like, man, I hope this works out.
Speaker 1: Is it more passion or or is it profit? At
Speaker 1: this point, like you know, cash cow.
Speaker 6: It's equal.
Speaker 2: I know that sounds like a PC response, but like
Speaker 2: you got to have both sides of it. You got
Speaker 2: to have passion for the product, but you also have
Speaker 2: to have, you know, a business acumen. You got to
Speaker 2: market it, you got to finance it, you got to
Speaker 2: you know, do all those other things. And I think
Speaker 2: the successful attractions blend both of those together.
Speaker 1: They say fear is an aphrodisiac. Is this whole enterprise
Speaker 1: rooted around kink? No? No, not at all. What's the
Speaker 1: best state for enthusiasm for the all the Hunted House.
Speaker 6: Honestly, uh, California.
Speaker 2: LA has an incredible fandom over haunted events like nothing
Speaker 2: I receive in any other market because they're godless.
Speaker 6: I don't know, I think.
Speaker 1: No, I mean, that's that's impressive. I mean, I mean
Speaker 1: there's a sheer numbers thing though there is, Yeah, there's that,
Speaker 1: but but I think it's it's it's a little more
Speaker 1: than that out here.
Speaker 2: I think maybe, you know, having the theme parks out
Speaker 2: here kind of facilitated that, and now I think they're
Speaker 2: seeking out alternative events to the theme parks as well.
Speaker 6: And how's that hay ride doing. Hay Ride's awesome.
Speaker 2: Hay Ride's like great to be in LA, but get
Speaker 2: transported to like you know, it feels like the East
Speaker 2: Coast vibe or a Midwest vibe during Halloween.
Speaker 1: Can you rent out your own hay ride a private ride?
Speaker 6: You can rent a private hay ride trailer.
Speaker 1: Uh huh yep, and just go solo.
Speaker 6: You can go solo if you want. Most most people.
Speaker 1: Sit there where about you.
Speaker 2: You know, I think you'd trip out the actors if
Speaker 2: you did that. It was just you by yourself.
Speaker 1: Can you eat while you're on the hay ride?
Speaker 6: Not on the hay ride?
Speaker 2: It's a shame.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I like that, a burger on the hay right.
Speaker 1: Well, I mean I don't know. I just I always
Speaker 1: like to be eating. Now, what's pulling these hay rides?
Speaker 6: Tractors? Like actual farm tractors?
Speaker 1: Do you own them?
Speaker 6: We do?
Speaker 2: Yeah? How many do you owt We own eleven of them?
Speaker 2: I believe what brand are we looking at?
Speaker 1: Are they Deer? Are they John Deeers?
Speaker 2: They're not, They're red, They're okay, I don't know what
Speaker 2: the brand.
Speaker 1: I'm in the market for one that doesn't run anymore.
Speaker 6: What are you gonna do with it?
Speaker 2: What in my yard?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Like as a pretty Yeah, your neighbors love it. What
Speaker 1: do I care about that? I just want to I
Speaker 1: just want an old tractor.
Speaker 2: But I think old John Deer's are pretty pretty bad ass.
Speaker 1: The problem is they don't they don't bring people. They
Speaker 1: keep restoring them. They're like nineteen forties and they're still running.
Speaker 6: There's a lot of people that collect them.
Speaker 1: Now, Yeah, I don't want to spend a lot. I
Speaker 1: just want an old junkie tractor to put in the yard.
Speaker 1: Seems like something fun to climb on and get, you know,
Speaker 1: get a big old rust cut. What about the boat?
Speaker 1: What's the ship thing?
Speaker 2: Dark harbor? Yeah, yeah, I mean amazing old haunted ship.
Speaker 2: We do Haunted maze is on the ship. There's three
Speaker 2: on the ship and then there's two in the harbor
Speaker 2: that are adjacent. What's the ship do the rest of
Speaker 2: the year.
Speaker 6: It's a hotel. They also have restaurants.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you've been on that ship, Eddie, I have
Speaker 1: been on it.
Speaker 4: You have, Yeah, I've been at this event.
Speaker 2: Of course you have.
Speaker 1: Oh man, what's the scariest thing?
Speaker 2: You know?
Speaker 1: Every year? Are new things being invented? Or is it
Speaker 1: still just like jump out and startle people.
Speaker 2: When people say they're getting scared in a haunted house,
Speaker 2: it's usually they're being startled, so a loud noise allowed,
Speaker 2: ef fact, you know, something like that.
Speaker 6: Lighting changes.
Speaker 2: It's really hard to scare people, you know, on the
Speaker 2: emotional aspect of scaring people, But it's easy to startle people,
Speaker 2: and that's mostly what people are looking for.
Speaker 6: I think when they go to haunted house, why do
Speaker 6: you think people like being scared?
Speaker 2: I think when people are scared, it's the same type
Speaker 2: of chemical release in your body, like when you're happier,
Speaker 2: you're excited. I think they go to see their friends
Speaker 2: be scared. I think they go in a group of
Speaker 2: people with someone they know is going to be scared
Speaker 2: so that they can watch and see what that person's
Speaker 2: reaction is. Yeah, are you into the gore and those
Speaker 2: type of stuff or not so much?
Speaker 6: Really?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I like the psychological stuff better. I think it's
Speaker 2: a little scarier as far as films go.
Speaker 1: Okay, forget films, but I mean, are your guys like
Speaker 1: walking on severed arms and all that stuff? And yeah,
Speaker 1: what about torturing each other? Are they doing that stuff?
Speaker 6: Yeah, not torturing each other.
Speaker 2: But you know, everybody likes something different in a haunted house,
Speaker 2: and there's certain fans that they want to see the gore.
Speaker 2: They want to see things that you know, look real,
Speaker 2: that aren't real. So yeah, we have a lot of
Speaker 2: that in the haunted houses.
Speaker 1: What it's the protocol. Somebody gets too scared.
Speaker 2: Usually the actors or sometimes we have event staff in
Speaker 2: the attractions, and they can identify that and ask them
Speaker 2: if they're okay and escort them out through an emergency.
Speaker 2: I don't want to be they scored it out by
Speaker 2: like some monsters. Well, and that's why that's why we
Speaker 2: have to have event staff there as well, because the
Speaker 2: last thing you want to do when you're terrified is
Speaker 2: have a monster come up to find out if you're.
Speaker 1: Okay you or have someone have a hard attack and
Speaker 1: just die.
Speaker 6: No, nobody died.
Speaker 1: Nobody's stroked out out in the middle of one of
Speaker 1: these things.
Speaker 6: We have had people pass out and have it be
Speaker 6: a little too much for them.
Speaker 1: Sure, I've had that at a show before. I thought
Speaker 1: my jokes were just doing real well, then turned out
Speaker 1: it was really bad. You ever get scared walking through
Speaker 1: your own haunted houses?
Speaker 2: I don't get scared in haunted houses. For me, it's
Speaker 2: the dark, right, It's like the fear of the unknown
Speaker 2: to me is way scarier than what you might see
Speaker 2: in hanted house. You're saying in the just general and darkness,
Speaker 2: you don't like it. Yeah, I don't like darkness. Not
Speaker 2: a big fan. Scared of the dark. I guess, do
Speaker 2: you like honored houses? Do you go? No? No?
Speaker 6: No?
Speaker 2: No.
Speaker 1: The thing is, if I went, I would love it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but I'm also okay with Well I didn't go, and
Speaker 1: that was really lovely not going out. Yeah, all right,
Speaker 1: That's where I'm at on most things. Yeah, you really
Speaker 1: have to persuade. I mean, my whole day gets ruined
Speaker 1: when I find out my wife has set up an activity.
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh no.
Speaker 1: Honestly, the real nightmare of all these places is the parking.
Speaker 1: True or false?
Speaker 2: Uh, pretty true on the venue, but definitely pretty true
Speaker 2: because you know, everybody wants to go on the weekend.
Speaker 2: It's the only time that all their friends are available.
Speaker 2: So you know, it's not not nasty to park if
Speaker 2: you come on a Thursday or a Sunday, but if
Speaker 2: you're going to go on a Friday and Saturday, it's
Speaker 2: at a premium for you. Always have to do it
Speaker 2: at night too. That's a problem for me with the
Speaker 2: Halloween stuff.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not ah, I wish we could do there
Speaker 1: was like a matinee showing, just not as scary though.
Speaker 2: That's the problem now. It takes the sun going down
Speaker 2: for people to get a little in the in the
Speaker 2: spooky mood.
Speaker 1: I guess the bathroom situation that's the nightmare at all
Speaker 1: these places.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a lot of work to keep those clean
Speaker 2: and ready for use.
Speaker 1: Oh, because you have to deal with the worst group
Speaker 1: of people on the planet. Has to be like twelve
Speaker 1: to sixteen year old just dealing with them constantly. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they're just monsters.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm not sure I should comment on that.
Speaker 1: No, you can't, but I mean I see it. I
Speaker 1: go to a local fair every now and then I'm
Speaker 1: just like, look at and then they dress like whores.
Speaker 1: You're just like this, this is awful. How does a
Speaker 1: fire marshall feel about adding tons of walls and trip
Speaker 1: hazards to a dark room?
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean they're they feel great about it. It's
Speaker 6: it's wonderful.
Speaker 1: No, do they actually like, go, guys, you can't do this.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 6: Most of our fire marshals we have a great relationship with.
Speaker 2: We haven't really ran into anybody that is you know,
Speaker 2: anti haunted house or Halloween. They just want to make
Speaker 2: sure it's safe, and you know, we want to make
Speaker 2: sure the same thing. So you know, having an open
Speaker 2: dialogue with them is always really helpful as well.
Speaker 6: Can't you do.
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to think of things that I would
Speaker 1: hate if I was in a haunted house and all
Speaker 1: of a sudden, like I go into one around a corner,
Speaker 1: and I'm walking in like three inches of muddy water.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would infuriate me. Yeah, I don't think i'd
Speaker 2: want to do that either.
Speaker 1: Are you allowed to do that?
Speaker 2: Though?
Speaker 6: I think we would be allowed to do muddy water,
Speaker 6: But I don't. I don't think that you.
Speaker 1: Want to really upset people. Yeah, they go out and
Speaker 1: their sneakers.
Speaker 2: I don't like some haunted houses incorporate water effects. I'm
Speaker 2: not a big fan of those. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I don't want to get wet. Yeah, I don't want feel
Speaker 1: moisture in a dark room. What about smell? You mess
Speaker 1: with smells? We do mess with smells. Oh yeah, I know.
Speaker 2: And there's there's a company out there that sells disgusting
Speaker 2: smelling sense you can put in the Honted house. The
Speaker 2: problem with those is, as much as you might want
Speaker 2: to use them for the guests coming through so they
Speaker 2: catch a quick smell of that, I just feel terrible
Speaker 2: for the actors that are stuck in there with that
Speaker 2: smell the whole night.
Speaker 1: I mean, there has to be a pecking order with
Speaker 1: your actors, and I feel like, you know what, you
Speaker 1: you mess up a couple of times you're on the
Speaker 1: stink gun.
Speaker 6: Or you get to graduate from smell to non smell.
Speaker 2: Maybe that's what you could do.
Speaker 1: You could have like like some weird dead woman with
Speaker 1: a bottle of perfume, Like she's at like a Macy's
Speaker 1: at the holidays, spraying people and she just comes up
Speaker 1: to you and sprays you, and then you're just covered
Speaker 1: in stink.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and that that stuff does not go away, So.
Speaker 2: That's not good. What's the age range? What's the lowest
Speaker 2: age that can not you know, it's it's determinant on
Speaker 2: the kid. I've seen kids as young as five and
Speaker 2: have a great time.
Speaker 6: There's no rule. There's no rule.
Speaker 2: We tell them when they show up that we don't
Speaker 2: recommend it for kids under twelve, and we tell them
Speaker 2: that it's the ticket booth. Well okay, but.
Speaker 6: You know it's it's kind of parents discretion.
Speaker 2: I think some of them make good choices because they
Speaker 2: know the kids, and some of them make bad choices
Speaker 2: because their kids shouldn't be there.
Speaker 1: But they are responsible drug dealer.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I think that the core age though, is you're pre
Speaker 2: teen to twenty something, but that's starting to skew older.
Speaker 2: I think haunted houses the production value has gotten a
Speaker 2: lot higher and now it's more about a whole night
Speaker 2: of entertainment. So older people are starting to stick with
Speaker 2: haunted houses a lot longer than I think they used to.
Speaker 1: What a ticket range is prices range for.
Speaker 2: You know, on average, right now, they're about you know,
Speaker 2: thirty five dollars for kind of your base ticket to
Speaker 2: get you in the door. And that really hasn't changed
Speaker 2: drastically when you look at inflation over the years over
Speaker 2: leave in the last ten years, haunted houses are still
Speaker 2: pretty pretty good value as it comes to live entertainment.
Speaker 1: And you handled COVID without any major.
Speaker 6: COVID was rough.
Speaker 2: But the nature of what we do in haunted entertainment
Speaker 2: is we social distance by nature, like you don't want
Speaker 2: to be more than six feet from the group in
Speaker 2: front of you. So there was a lot of educating
Speaker 2: to the people in charge to say, hey, we can
Speaker 2: open this safely and we can keep people apart from
Speaker 2: each other and keep them in their family groups. Chi
Speaker 2: ching is what I heard.
Speaker 6: Yeah, or or just trying to lose less money that year.
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, but at least you weren't in the
Speaker 1: concert business. Yeah, exactly. Do you guys have a thing
Speaker 1: where you're like at a big scare moment that there's
Speaker 1: a photo taken of them that they can buy later.
Speaker 2: So we don't have a photo moment, but we are
Speaker 2: currently experience experimenting with a video moment.
Speaker 6: So we have an RFID tag.
Speaker 2: They go through the haunted house and there's five different
Speaker 2: scare points, and it records like a couple seconds before
Speaker 2: they go into the room until a couple seconds after.
Speaker 6: It's pretty cool.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I don't want you to leaving money on the table.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I try not to do that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, you got a gift shop there too.
Speaker 2: We have big gift shops now. Yeah, people love buying
Speaker 2: spooky things for Halloween.
Speaker 1: You sell a faulty pregnancy test in your gift shop, Oh.
Speaker 6: No, that might be a big seller, though it's a
Speaker 6: good gag.
Speaker 1: Put those in there really scare some people. What does
Speaker 1: it cost to run one of your attractions?
Speaker 2: You know, it depends on the venue. On the low end,
Speaker 2: multiple of hundreds of thousand dollars. On the larger end,
Speaker 2: in the millions of dollars to run the different events.
Speaker 1: You look at your dailies, go, oh man, this is
Speaker 1: what we're spending so much money on every year.
Speaker 2: Payroll yeah, actors staff. I mean that's the number one expense,
Speaker 2: hands down, and the amount of actors that you have
Speaker 2: once you audition these idiots. I don't know. I don't
Speaker 2: personally audition anybody anymore, but we do have auditions, and
Speaker 2: usually for the more specialized roles, more acting intensive roles.
Speaker 1: Well, people are just screaming and running up to me.
Speaker 1: Allowed to touch you?
Speaker 6: No, we don't touch No. It's it's kind of an
Speaker 6: unspoken rule.
Speaker 2: A lot of people say, oh, I was touched in
Speaker 2: on how it's usually you know, the actor, they're in
Speaker 2: a dark space, they'll bump into you and you know,
Speaker 2: un touched in the house too.
Speaker 1: But you know that's for my therapist to figure out
Speaker 1: what's the oldest, uh person that you guys hire.
Speaker 2: I don't know officially the oldest, but all of our attractions,
Speaker 2: I always see an old actor.
Speaker 6: That makes you question.
Speaker 2: It's it's amazing how many different people from different professions
Speaker 2: just want to do it for fun.
Speaker 1: You use children actors, ever, we do not not allowed to.
Speaker 1: We just find kids just terrifying, so we put it
Speaker 1: you put a kid in there.
Speaker 2: We actually have some actors that are child sized. Uh huh.
Speaker 2: I like what you're saying.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and when they're.
Speaker 2: Made up, you you would swear they're a kid, but
Speaker 2: they're you know, legal adults. Uh huh, all right, loopholes.
Speaker 2: I love it. What kind of background checks are you
Speaker 2: doing on all these everyone? Everyone gets a background check
Speaker 2: before they become an employee everyone.
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't I don't want to talk about
Speaker 1: worst case scenarios, but are you guys prepared for all
Speaker 1: that stuff?
Speaker 2: Yeah? No, we we stay very diligent, well real crazy,
Speaker 2: They very diligent in keeping the actual crazies out of
Speaker 2: the Haunted House.
Speaker 1: Those makeup artists. The amount of time it takes. Is
Speaker 1: there a sped up version that you guys are doing
Speaker 1: with all these actors.
Speaker 2: Yeah. A lot of the makeup artists use in an
Speaker 2: airbrush makeup so they can they can move really fast,
Speaker 2: so they can draw in different details.
Speaker 1: But they're putting like gels and flesh.
Speaker 2: Not everyone, you know, So different levels of actor depending
Speaker 2: upon how visible they're going to be in the Haunted House.
Speaker 6: So the ones that are going.
Speaker 2: To be more visible might have like a prosthetic treatment
Speaker 2: like you're talking about, but a lot of them are
Speaker 2: airbrush and with shadows.
Speaker 6: And things. They can do some really cool makeups with airbrush.
Speaker 2: You ever put a mask on and scare people? I did.
Speaker 2: I mean that's how I started, But I mean now
Speaker 2: now it's undercover boss style. It's been about eight years
Speaker 2: and I think the last time I did it, I
Speaker 2: was absolutely exhausted after about twenty minutes.
Speaker 6: So I gave that up.
Speaker 2: Hung up the mask. That's a misconception with people. They
Speaker 2: all think they want to work in a haunted house.
Speaker 2: But it's hard work. You know, you're in a mask
Speaker 2: or hot costume, You're in a dark, cramped space, and
Speaker 2: it's hard jumping out doing the same thing repetitively, you know,
Speaker 2: for over like a five hour night.
Speaker 1: What do you think about these gen zs? How's their
Speaker 1: work ethic?
Speaker 6: Uh?
Speaker 2: Different? Questionable? Maybe I'm trying to trying to stay correct here.
Speaker 2: I got a lot of gen Z actors. Look you
Speaker 2: know the I mean you're really in it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you really can see every generation go oh this
Speaker 1: is awful.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I think the one upcoming is is pretty good.
Speaker 2: I think the next one up is going to be good.
Speaker 2: I can't get my kid to do anything.
Speaker 1: There's good luck with a boss telling them to do
Speaker 1: something I loved working.
Speaker 2: As a kid. Yeah, oh yeah, just.
Speaker 1: Because that was the only way I was ever going
Speaker 1: to get money or get to do anything.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like my parents just didn't care. Yeah, we're not
Speaker 2: giving you anything. Yeah, No, that's changed a lot. I
Speaker 2: have two kids at home that I'm like wondering when
Speaker 2: they're gonna get kicked out of the nest.
Speaker 1: Or would you kick him out? Would your wife let
Speaker 1: you kick him out? Probably not? Yeah, that's all right.
Speaker 1: There's worse things to have in your house.
Speaker 2: Your kids are what my kids are, eighteen and twenty.
Speaker 2: My son actually turns twenty one on Thursday this week.
Speaker 1: You're kind of an empty nester. Is that even a
Speaker 1: thing anymore? Because it seems like kids just stay with
Speaker 1: us forever.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they have not left the nest. Ye failure to
Speaker 2: launch for sure?
Speaker 1: Did your kids Did they like Halloween as a kid?
Speaker 2: They did not like it as young kids up until
Speaker 2: the time they were about twelve. In fact, when my
Speaker 2: son was really young, he used to be excited about
Speaker 2: the different catalogs and things that would come in the mail.
Speaker 2: He'd say, I want to look at the spooky stuff.
Speaker 2: But when he was five, my stepfather decided to scare
Speaker 2: him when he was over at his house, and from
Speaker 2: the time he was five until he was about twelve,
Speaker 2: he wanted nothing to do with it. He starred him.
Speaker 2: I think he just figured out what fear was. Now,
Speaker 2: he figured out. He wasn't jazzed about that, but a
Speaker 2: smart kid.
Speaker 1: Yeah, what do you do personally at your own home
Speaker 1: on Halloween?
Speaker 2: When my kids were young, my wife would get crap
Speaker 2: from the neighbors because she said, you're they're like your husband,
Speaker 2: mister Halloween, and your house is the most boring house
Speaker 2: on the block.
Speaker 1: You tell your neighbors if they shell out fifty bucks,
Speaker 1: you'll up the game.
Speaker 2: Because I was working, you know, I was out, you know,
Speaker 2: and the kids weren't old enough to be celebrating. But
Speaker 2: once my kids were old enough, I did start decorating
Speaker 2: the yard and I would take things from the haunted house,
Speaker 2: fog machines, speakers, I did projections in our windows, different props,
Speaker 2: and you would think I created the most incredible haunted house.
Speaker 2: At all time, my neighbors are out there with their
Speaker 2: phones out, and I want to say to them, I'm like,
Speaker 2: right down the street, there's a place. We invested millions
Speaker 2: of dollars in that people are still going through and
Speaker 2: coming out the other side going it was, okay.
Speaker 1: Are your kids going to take over your empire?
Speaker 2: You know, I did not push either one of them
Speaker 2: to get involved in any way, but they both are
Speaker 2: involved now. They both work at our location in Denver.
Speaker 2: My daughter's an actress and she also does some makeup there,
Speaker 2: and then my son is more on the tech side,
Speaker 2: so kind of the behind the scenes. But I felt
Speaker 2: like I didn't want to push them to be involved.
Speaker 2: I wanted it to be their own choice to be involved.
Speaker 2: But yeah, they're both involved in I see them growing
Speaker 2: with the company and probably taking on more responsibility.
Speaker 1: How do I forget this first question? Do you believe
Speaker 1: in ghosts?
Speaker 2: You know, I want to believe in ghosts, and I
Speaker 2: feel like I should believe in ghosts, But no, I
Speaker 2: don't believe in.
Speaker 1: Ghosts because you've seen behind the curtain too much exactly. Ah,
Speaker 1: that's a shame. I really wanted you to believe in ghosts.
Speaker 1: The people that care about Halloween too much, do they
Speaker 1: freak out a little bit?
Speaker 2: I think anybody that cares about anything too much is
Speaker 2: a little scary.
Speaker 6: But you know, I don't know.
Speaker 1: It's like those Disney adults. You have to go to
Speaker 1: Disney constantly. What about international? Have you put one overseas yet?
Speaker 1: We're not open overseas yet. I bet you could do
Speaker 1: some weird stuff in some of these Asian countries. Oh man,
Speaker 1: they're probably into some freaky scary stuff.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 6: I might not be tuned into the Asian horror scene
Speaker 6: quite yet.
Speaker 1: Oh, but I bet I'm talking about money on the table.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 6: I mean, Halloween is growing fast in other parts of
Speaker 6: the world.
Speaker 2: You know, it was always traditionally more of an American thing,
Speaker 2: but now.
Speaker 1: I don't even know that. I don't even know that
Speaker 1: that's true. It was just it's basically an American holiday.
Speaker 2: And now it's grown fast in Europe, Asia, the Middle East.
Speaker 2: People used to ask me, where are you going to
Speaker 2: expand to? I said, take Denver, draw out a two
Speaker 2: and a half hour flight radius.
Speaker 6: It's a pretty safe bet.
Speaker 2: You got one and asspen yet No, no, I don't
Speaker 2: think you'd work out up there.
Speaker 1: What other cities, Well, you got Colorado Springs. M those
Speaker 1: people are talk about scary. The people in Colorado Springs.
Speaker 1: There's a bunch of there's a bunch of loonies over there.
Speaker 2: Aren't there great people in Colorado Springs? They love driving
Speaker 2: to Denver for the haunted house? Yeah?
Speaker 1: What about those the things where I hear of people
Speaker 1: being completely actually paid to be tortured. Basically, I don't
Speaker 1: know exactly what I'm talking about, but.
Speaker 2: Not haunted houses is my big statement on those, right.
Speaker 2: It's like, you know, to your point, it's like a
Speaker 2: simulated abduction or a simulated torture.
Speaker 6: Not what we do.
Speaker 2: And I and you know, it gets a lot of
Speaker 2: press around Halloween, but I don't think anybody that really
Speaker 2: just wants to celebrate Halloween is into that stuff, you know.
Speaker 6: I think that's more of a unique person a fun
Speaker 6: date night.
Speaker 1: Come on, honey, if we can make it till sun up,
Speaker 1: we get one hundred thousand dollars.
Speaker 6: Yeah, there you go.
Speaker 1: Everybody's on my show gets a gift, and it's just
Speaker 1: stuff that I have around my house. So I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: I don't know what to give you, But then I
Speaker 1: thought of something.
Speaker 2: I got you.
Speaker 1: I've never used it one time in my life. Got
Speaker 1: you my chainsaw.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, this is awesome. I don't think I've
Speaker 2: ever had my own chainsaw. Yeah, I figured. I was like, well,
Speaker 2: I don't need this. Look, I even I even.
Speaker 1: Have all this stuff because I'm like, they're like, oh,
Speaker 1: you're gonna need barn oil cleaner and you're gonna need
Speaker 1: all whatever.
Speaker 2: This is, Oh smoke.
Speaker 6: What was the plan for it when you got it?
Speaker 2: I'm like, because I was a man, like I have
Speaker 2: a house.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And they're like, well you need a chain saw.
Speaker 2: Well this is this is part of the man card.
Speaker 2: Now I have one. I haven't had one before, so
Speaker 2: this is good.
Speaker 1: And then you're supposed to sharpen a shape.
Speaker 6: All of it just says like, sharpen this thing.
Speaker 1: You're you don't think like I have a file that
Speaker 1: goes in betwe a single?
Speaker 2: No, I listen.
Speaker 1: It's never been used as a sixteen inch chains as
Speaker 1: a craftsman.
Speaker 6: I appreciate it.
Speaker 1: That two year warrant. He's gotta be void. Yeah, that
Speaker 1: thing has been sitting in my garage.
Speaker 6: The box is discolored on the top. Yeah, it's been here.
Speaker 6: It's been here a while.
Speaker 1: It's been there many many years. Never never thought to
Speaker 1: use it.
Speaker 2: All right, get that off my des please.
Speaker 1: This is my mask that I've done a bit on
Speaker 1: my old I had an old TV show and I
Speaker 1: did a bit and it was, oh, yeah, I love
Speaker 1: this baby.
Speaker 2: I know the artist that made that you do big
Speaker 2: ass baby. Yeah, his name's Landing. Yeah, land Landed did
Speaker 2: good work. Because this is creepy as hell. I know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's the right it's the right amount of cree.
Speaker 1: I'm not giving it to you, but I just I
Speaker 1: wanted to bring it. This is the worst thing in
Speaker 1: the world.
Speaker 6: That is the worst thing in the world.
Speaker 1: My wife bought that and goes, oh, I go, what
Speaker 1: are you talking about? That is pure shit.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 6: You cannot carve a pump pumpkin with this.
Speaker 1: Do you carve pum pumpkins?
Speaker 2: I do. I finally didn't get that off. I finally
Speaker 2: stopped carving real pumpkins. And now we have these forever pumpkins.
Speaker 2: So if you carve your design into at least she
Speaker 2: can keep it year after year. Now that the kids
Speaker 2: are oh, you don't do my mind. Forever pumpkin. It's
Speaker 2: it's a foam pumpkin and you cut it. Yeah, and
Speaker 2: you can cut a design into it just like a regular.
Speaker 1: Pumpkins, like hard to cut, like a real pumpkins, where
Speaker 1: you will slice yourself.
Speaker 2: I like y.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 2: It is the nice thing about it is once they're carved,
Speaker 2: you can keep them every year and just kind of
Speaker 2: keep adding. You don't have to run out and get
Speaker 2: a live pumpkin.
Speaker 6: Every year.
Speaker 1: We get pumpkins, lots of them. I never knew that.
Speaker 1: I always thought you bought one pumpkin. My wife we
Speaker 1: go to a pumpkin pet and she's getting gords and
Speaker 1: pumpkins and she gets like ten to put next to
Speaker 1: each other, by.
Speaker 6: The different colors, all the different.
Speaker 1: And then we don't carve a single one.
Speaker 6: No, no, how come?
Speaker 2: I don't have the answer to that.
Speaker 1: It's just like they just look nicer.
Speaker 6: Maybe when your kids are a little older, they're gonna
Speaker 6: want maybe.
Speaker 1: They'll want to carve one. I don't, I hope, because
Speaker 1: I don't want to do it. No, you guys decorate
Speaker 1: your house for Halloween?
Speaker 4: Yeah you do? Yep?
Speaker 1: What do you put up?
Speaker 2: Eddie?
Speaker 4: I do that? You know the glass garage?
Speaker 2: Do? I do?
Speaker 5: Projection from the inside nice, so like it's a like
Speaker 5: a skeleton dances around.
Speaker 1: Can you could you just play something?
Speaker 4: Yeah? You could just play a movie.
Speaker 1: Yeah, why don't you put Why don't you just put
Speaker 1: like this the Saw anthology.
Speaker 6: Uh, you know a.
Speaker 1: Lot that you can't play play those type of movies, right,
Speaker 1: thanks the neighborhood to shut that down.
Speaker 6: I think the neighborhood be upset about that one.
Speaker 1: My neighborhood, they used to just do one section of
Speaker 1: the street and people would go crazy and do all
Speaker 1: kinds of things. And then just you know, recently a
Speaker 1: few neighbors have moved and they dropped the ball. It's
Speaker 1: no longer exciting.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I remember when I was a kid, it was
Speaker 2: like Halloween and trick or treating was huge, especially back East.
Speaker 2: People would stop by your house and you'd welcome them in.
Speaker 2: But now it's like people come and ring your doorbell.
Speaker 2: You don't want anything to do with them. So I
Speaker 2: never went into a house though that you went into
Speaker 2: house as a kid, that's dand no, no, just just just
Speaker 2: ringing the doorbell, okay, all right. Anybody says come on in,
Speaker 2: it's like, ah, don't go to that house.
Speaker 1: What's your favorite candy given out of the Halloween Reese's
Speaker 1: peanut butter cups.
Speaker 6: Butter cups, not Reese's pieces, those are good, but peanut
Speaker 6: butter cups.
Speaker 2: Yeah, peanut butter cup.
Speaker 1: I'm not liking that they've tried to diversify so much,
Speaker 1: Like this one has extra peanut butter. This one is
Speaker 1: twice as thick.
Speaker 6: I saw one with potato chips in it or something.
Speaker 1: Don't need that nonsense. No, you guys stand a long
Speaker 1: time ago. That's right, Just knock it off. What's the
Speaker 1: best door to go to for Halloween decorations?
Speaker 6: I like spirit.
Speaker 2: I think it's fun, you know, I mean for what
Speaker 2: it is. You know, the prices are pretty low to
Speaker 2: do something fun at your house.
Speaker 1: I can't do those with it where you step on
Speaker 1: the buttons, and I think the kids it's too much
Speaker 1: for them already. I bet I've already found that I've
Speaker 1: gone too far. Least favorite holiday.
Speaker 2: Probably Labor Day because it's so close to our season,
Speaker 2: and once Labor Day hits them like here it comes.
Speaker 1: I mean it's kind of nice though, that it's trunk
Speaker 1: heated into October, really, isn't it.
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 2: I mean for us it's like mid September now through
Speaker 2: mid November as our season.
Speaker 1: Is your goal to become the scariest or does that not?
Speaker 6: I think my goal is to become the most entertaining.
Speaker 2: You know, It's like you know, nowadays, we all live
Speaker 2: our digital lives, where you know what your family's doing,
Speaker 2: you know what your friends are doing, you look at
Speaker 2: your phone. But creating unique events that people can share
Speaker 2: together socially is really what we're all about. So and
Speaker 2: not everybody likes to be terrified, right, So we like
Speaker 2: to add the scary elements, but also add elements where
Speaker 2: people can just hang out and have a good time
Speaker 2: and celebrate Halloween.
Speaker 1: Are you happy or sad that you're right before the election.
Speaker 6: I think people need a diversion, so I think, of
Speaker 6: course they do. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I think people want to get out and not think
Speaker 2: about things. And ultimately that's what we provide. You know,
Speaker 2: if we give you thirty minutes where you're not thinking
Speaker 2: about anything else while you're in a haunted house, I
Speaker 2: think that's you.
Speaker 1: Think people are think prepping for the civil war that's
Speaker 1: a coming. Ah God, I hope not all right, Chris, Well,
Speaker 1: I know you have to get back to work.
Speaker 2: I know I'm gonna bring my new chainsaw get back
Speaker 2: to work with you. Thank you for being on the show.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I appreciate it.
Speaker 2: Thanks, ma'am Casha.
Speaker 1: I want to thank Chris for being on the show.
Speaker 1: That was delightful. Yeah, I'm not into being scared, speaking
Speaker 1: of things I don't enjoy. Nazis. You see a swastika
Speaker 1: and you know that is bad?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 4: Yep?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Where are you guys at on the Rising Sun flag?
Speaker 1: The wartime flag during World War Two from Japan?
Speaker 2: Correct?
Speaker 1: I don't ever trust anything that I say, but I'm
Speaker 1: told that some people, you know, view that similar to
Speaker 1: a Nazi flag, and I was unaware of that. And
Speaker 1: then the other day I was organizing my belt drawer.
Speaker 1: Do you have a belt drawer? Doesn't matter? And I
Speaker 1: see this belt that I own, and I'm like, is
Speaker 1: that the Rising Sun flag on my belt? And I
Speaker 1: never knew about this? Is that what that is?
Speaker 4: Sure looks like it?
Speaker 1: Sure looks like it, right? So I'm like, I can't
Speaker 1: wear this belt? And whose fault is this? Carrie?
Speaker 2: Carrie my styl is.
Speaker 1: She buys all my stuff, and she's buying me basically
Speaker 1: a Nazi belt. I had no idea. Are you guys
Speaker 1: aware of this or not?
Speaker 2: I was not aware. You're not aware of it.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you the real irony here the back of
Speaker 1: this belt, I don't know if you can zoom in
Speaker 1: on that says made in China. Wow, you telling me
Speaker 1: that the Chinese people were making his belt. Go on,
Speaker 1: these assholes really rubbing it in our face with all
Speaker 1: their war atrocities. Anyway, I'm not gonna uh, I'm just
Speaker 1: gonna get rid of this belt. I'm not gonna give
Speaker 1: it to anyone. I'm just gonna throw it away now.
Speaker 1: I don't know why I didn't flag it pun intended
Speaker 1: the first time I saw it and put it in
Speaker 1: my drawer. But man, you know that that's one of
Speaker 1: the things where I h I stroke out and die
Speaker 1: or something, and then people come through my stuff and
Speaker 1: they say, well, look.
Speaker 4: At this, look at here.
Speaker 1: By the way, I could be completely wrong and that
Speaker 1: flag's not offensive, but I just, you know, I like
Speaker 1: to air on the side of what the fuck and
Speaker 1: just blame carry anyway, all right, it's time for some plugs,

Speaker 1: Down at six thousand North Skiel Avenue in oscot To, Michigan,
Speaker 1: right across from a Robert J. Parks Library. I don't

Speaker 1: cluster fuck. Head on over to Shoreline Players Dot Org. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they'll straighten it out for you know. Maybe the parking
Speaker 1: situation is great there. That's always my fear. Where do
Speaker 1: we park? You think they have valet? I'm guessing they don't.
Speaker 1: You like Valet? I always prefer not to valet. I
Speaker 1: always like to get places early, you know, find some
Speaker 1: street parking, and then just walk in and then I
Speaker 1: take that five dollars savings, you know, put that in
Speaker 1: a jar, and I save that jar, and then one
Speaker 1: day I'm going to give that jar to whichever kid
Speaker 1: I like the most and say this was for all
Speaker 1: the times I didn't use Valet.
Speaker 2: Now go get yourself something car.
