And now I'm kind of calculating 37 00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:34,600 Speaker 2: we're doing like a household Jaws themed costume situation. And 38 00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:37,080 Speaker 2: I'm calculating I'm going to scooper because of course I 39 00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:43,520 Speaker 2: am mm hmm. And I'm like, yeah, maybe maybe fifty 40 00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:47,560 Speaker 2: bucks overall on you know, different little like drifted pieces 41 00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:52,640 Speaker 2: and stuff. But yeah, anyway, eh, people get into it. 42 00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:56,760 Speaker 2: I have to say, my mom visited me recently, and 43 00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:03,080 Speaker 2: my neighborhood goes all, oh yeah, I love it. 44 00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:05,920 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, but there's there's a house next to me 45 00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:10,560 Speaker 1: that as they're like haunted ship wreck theme. It's just 46 00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:15,440 Speaker 1: like blow ups and all, it's just decked out and 47 00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:18,880 Speaker 1: then there's a UFO crash site like so I can 48 00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:21,520 Speaker 1: see people. I think those decorations really do add up. 49 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:28,079 Speaker 2: Oh absolutely, Although apparently the three main spending categories being candy, costumes, 50 00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:31,880 Speaker 2: and decorations are all about equal wedges of that pie 51 00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:35,680 Speaker 2: of that like thirteen billion dollar pie, which is wild 52 00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:39,360 Speaker 2: to me, costumes are actually the most like slightly higher 53 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:40,520 Speaker 2: than any other category. 54 00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:46,920 Speaker 1: Well, and speaking of Laurena and I were talking about recently, 55 00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:52,440 Speaker 1: we're just curious if other countries do Halloween like we do. 56 00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:56,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, so I think Canada kind of does. I 57 00:03:56,360 --> 00:04:01,080 Speaker 2: think I think Canada's pretty solidly in the same mind frame, 58 00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:02,240 Speaker 2: cultural mindset. 59 00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:06,120 Speaker 1: But I don't think anywhere else on the planet does. 60 00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:12,000 Speaker 2: Y'all let us know, Like I know that a lot 61 00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:17,520 Speaker 2: of other places are really amused and entertained by the 62 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:21,600 Speaker 2: fact that we do this. But and of like started 63 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:23,719 Speaker 2: picking up little little crumbs of it. 64 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:29,000 Speaker 1: Yes, but we would We would love to hear from 65 00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:33,760 Speaker 1: you because we are working on another Halloween episode, So 66 00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:37,360 Speaker 1: please write in about what it's like in your country. 67 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:42,880 Speaker 2: Yes, yes, and yeah, yeah, so so we've just got 68 00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:46,280 Speaker 2: a bunch of weird stuff to share with you because 69 00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:49,520 Speaker 2: and we've never done a Halloween themed one of these 70 00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:52,640 Speaker 2: marketing episodes before. We've done winter holidays. 71 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:58,560 Speaker 1: But yes, yeah, it's a real misstep on our part 72 00:04:58,640 --> 00:04:59,920 Speaker 1: because there's a lot going. 73 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:03,520 Speaker 2: On there is, all right, all right, So let's get 74 00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:03,920 Speaker 2: into it. 75 00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:06,680 Speaker 1: Yes, let's get into it. Some of these are gonna 76 00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:09,040 Speaker 1: be quick hits, but I just I could not include them. 77 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:15,839 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, including this first one. Sweethearts, you know, the Valentine's. 78 00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:18,960 Speaker 2: Shoppy candy with the little messages on the Yeah, exactly. 79 00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:23,840 Speaker 1: Well, they're offering ghosted hearts, which are these all white 80 00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:28,000 Speaker 1: hearts with no messages on them? Oh, in reference to 81 00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:34,359 Speaker 1: the practice of ghosting someone. Wow, yeah, I kind of 82 00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:35,279 Speaker 1: love it, to be honest. 83 00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:41,400 Speaker 2: That okay, goodness, So is the idea that, like, you 84 00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:43,640 Speaker 2: send a box of these to someone who ghosted you? 85 00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:48,839 Speaker 1: Ooh, I don't know. I just I just assumed people 86 00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:51,120 Speaker 1: love halloween stuff and would buy it even though it's 87 00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:53,400 Speaker 1: got no messages on it and it's just a white heart. 88 00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:57,640 Speaker 1: It's literally like no food dye, nothing. Just yeah, but 89 00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:01,720 Speaker 1: it could be that would be a very creative and 90 00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:05,280 Speaker 1: harsh way to send some one message I have to say. 91 00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:12,360 Speaker 2: Oh, well, perhaps, obviously this is not the only candy product. 92 00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:18,000 Speaker 2: So Hers, she's based on the popularity of their reeses 93 00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:23,080 Speaker 2: shapes like like pumpkins and stuff. Hershe's is offering some 94 00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:27,760 Speaker 2: other shaped candies. They've got some ghost shaped Twizzlers, shoes, 95 00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:32,839 Speaker 2: and some kit Cat counts like vampire counts. 96 00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:38,159 Speaker 1: That's fun to say kit cat counts. Yeah. 97 00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:40,320 Speaker 2: Part of why I love all of this is that, 98 00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:44,000 Speaker 2: like I like, I don't understand. It's that the Halloween 99 00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,040 Speaker 2: episode that we're also working on is about trig or treating. 100 00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:49,640 Speaker 2: And part of the thing that I don't that the 101 00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:52,440 Speaker 2: delights me and that I absolutely don't understand is how 102 00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:58,360 Speaker 2: America has taken the idea of death and dying and 103 00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:02,760 Speaker 2: the unrest of the soul and it's turned it into 104 00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:07,680 Speaker 2: this cutesye thing. It's like, oh man, sometimes the souls 105 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:10,200 Speaker 2: of the deceased are doomed to walk the earth forever. 106 00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:12,680 Speaker 2: Here's a Twizzler shaped like that. 107 00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:19,280 Speaker 1: Yes, yes, I think about this often. In fact, I 108 00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:22,960 Speaker 1: talked to my mom about it. It's just it feels 109 00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:26,640 Speaker 1: like a time of year where there is this very 110 00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:33,200 Speaker 1: obviously capitalistic thing that's happening, but there's also kind of 111 00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:38,560 Speaker 1: a tongue in cheek. Yes, we're all gonna die. Put 112 00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:42,720 Speaker 1: this skeleton outside of the funny hat on. It's just 113 00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:48,760 Speaker 1: a kind of a bizarre juxtaposition of this macabre thing. 114 00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:53,040 Speaker 1: But also we're really having fun with it. And then 115 00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:56,560 Speaker 1: the season just adds to it because it's getting darker earlier, 116 00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:59,160 Speaker 1: it's cooler, the leaves are changing colors at least where 117 00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:04,160 Speaker 1: we are. Yeah, it's a very and then you're handing 118 00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:08,600 Speaker 1: out candy. I love it. I think it's very strange 119 00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:11,800 Speaker 1: and I love it. It's and it's so capitalist here. 120 00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:15,240 Speaker 2: And also did you say macabre? 121 00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:23,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, my sweet dude, it's definitely macabre. Oh I learned 122 00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:24,040 Speaker 1: something every day. 123 00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:30,640 Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, thank you French. But okay, but so getting 124 00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:34,839 Speaker 2: back into our list here. The Eminem's brand started doing 125 00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:38,880 Speaker 2: promotion back in twenty twenty three called the Halloween Rescue 126 00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:43,040 Speaker 2: Squad And this is an affiliation with gopuff, the delivery service. 127 00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:46,800 Speaker 2: So like in some areas wall supplies last, you can 128 00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:51,360 Speaker 2: call in an emergency candy bowl refill on Halloween night 129 00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:54,440 Speaker 2: and they will show up at your house with candy 130 00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:57,960 Speaker 2: and give it to you for free.

I don't know, objectively true sentences that are 133 00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:06,160 Speaker 2: weird to say out loud. 134 00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:13,240 Speaker 1: Sure that is. That's an odd one. Uh, all right, 135 00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:21,320 Speaker 1: I'll have to process that one later, all right.

So it requires an arm workout. 340 00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:26,040 Speaker 1: That's the best kind of costume you can get. Oh man, 341 00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:28,040 Speaker 1: is that people are like, what are you?

Oh, Airheads, yeah, Airheads Yeah, so's 348 00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:06,160 Speaker 2: there was a lot going on in that sentence. It's 349 00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:10,560 Speaker 2: possible that you have questions for answers, we must turn 350 00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:17,800 Speaker 2: to a classic Halloween invocation from the nineteen eighties to nineties, 351 00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:22,639 Speaker 2: which goes trick or treat, smell my feet, give me 352 00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:30,440 Speaker 2: something good to eat. Wow, you gotta hand it to them. 353 00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:32,919 Speaker 2: M I was never expecting that deep cut. Yeah, I 354 00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:35,600 Speaker 2: was like, oh, okay. Airheads, Yeah, that's sure. 355 00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:38,280 Speaker 1: Would have loved to been in on that meeting. 356 00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:43,399 Speaker 2: They are a brand that kind of leans into that 357 00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:51,520 Speaker 2: like roller rank nostalgia from the era. So yeah, I'm 358 00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:54,480 Speaker 2: gonna have to look that up. Okay, m oh, it's 359 00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:59,640 Speaker 2: it's beautiful. It is a bright red rubber foot spray can, 360 00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:03,080 Speaker 2: and it says smell my feet on it. And it's 361 00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:08,920 Speaker 2: really inscrutable. The poor human is signed to talk to 362 00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:12,520 Speaker 2: write about it on Food and Wine Magazine's website had 363 00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:14,040 Speaker 2: no idea what was going on. 364 00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:23,120 Speaker 1: I think that's completely legitimate. I think that's how are 365 00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:26,040 Speaker 1: we to grapple with the fact that this exists. I 366 00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:31,440 Speaker 1: don't know, but we must go on. And this brings 367 00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:37,000 Speaker 1: us to our final entry. Not strictly Halloween related, but 368 00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:42,480 Speaker 1: I would argue it is adjacent. Taco Bell is currently 369 00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:48,760 Speaker 1: offering a Y two K menu, so if any listeners 370 00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:51,320 Speaker 1: are too young to know what Y two K is. 371 00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:54,480 Speaker 1: It was when on the eve of the year two thousand, 372 00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:58,119 Speaker 1: we were all afraid that the computers would fail because 373 00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:01,919 Speaker 1: there is no year zero would get to zero and 374 00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:05,159 Speaker 1: just and we were buying up all the water and 375 00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:07,639 Speaker 1: preparing for the end of the world all that stuff. 376 00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:13,440 Speaker 2: Fun fact, the panic was at its root well founded, 377 00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:16,600 Speaker 2: because like there was a very real possibility that a 378 00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:20,200 Speaker 2: whole lot of computer systems that did, even that long ago, 379 00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:23,359 Speaker 2: very important things for our society were going to fail. 380 00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:26,240 Speaker 2: And the only reason that nothing happened. Is that a 381 00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:27,960 Speaker 2: lot of people put in a lot of hard work 382 00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:32,560 Speaker 2: to make sure that nothing happened. Coordinated implementation of a 383 00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:39,960 Speaker 2: solution to a problem. What more generally, though, because I 384 00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:42,840 Speaker 2: and I think that so you're thinking of a very 385 00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:47,960 Speaker 2: specific corner of Y two K, I strongly believe that 386 00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:51,320 Speaker 2: they're not angling at the panic. I like that your 387 00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:56,679 Speaker 2: brain went there. I'm concerned, but I appreciate it. But like, 388 00:26:56,800 --> 00:27:00,760 Speaker 2: more generally, around the turn of the millennium, you know, 389 00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:06,639 Speaker 2: we had this whole esthetic of like pop futurism, you know, 390 00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:09,720 Speaker 2: like everything was just big and bright. In fashion that 391 00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:12,880 Speaker 2: translated to you know, like the super wide leg jeans 392 00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:17,440 Speaker 2: and puff fabrics and metallics and bright primary or pastel colors, 393 00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:22,240 Speaker 2: and in food it meant these kind of silly excesses 394 00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:25,760 Speaker 2: of like punches of flavor and texture. 395 00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:32,359 Speaker 1: Yes, So when it comes to this menu that Taco 396 00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:36,479 Speaker 1: Bell has brought back, it's items from what they offered 397 00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:41,440 Speaker 1: in two thousand, like the caramel apple and Panada cool 398 00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:46,600 Speaker 1: Ranch to Rito's Locos Tacos, seven layer burrito, double decker taco, 399 00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:51,080 Speaker 1: and chili cheese burrito. And yeah, the announcement and press 400 00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:54,480 Speaker 1: materials are all very two thousand. They're very bright blue 401 00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:55,080 Speaker 1: and yellow. 402 00:27:55,480 --> 00:28:00,560 Speaker 2: I looked this up and I was physically unprepared for 403 00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:05,240 Speaker 2: the giant wedge of baby blue eyeshadow that one of 404 00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:09,520 Speaker 2: the models is wearing, or for the for the bright 405 00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:14,000 Speaker 2: yellow like goggle style sunglasses that a young fellow is wearing. 406 00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:17,640 Speaker 1: I was just like, I like recoiled from my computer screen. 407 00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:26,120 Speaker 1: See horrifying it. Well, Lauren, if you haven't looked up. 408 00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:31,000 Speaker 1: They also released limited edition two thousands fashions item no 409 00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:36,760 Speaker 1: fashion items, and they are shocking, Lauren, A shocking. I 410 00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:39,880 Speaker 1: don't I love that? No, No, I think you do. 411 00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:45,080 Speaker 1: And they had a two thousands theme party in La 412 00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:50,000 Speaker 1: DJ by Little John and they have a digital pet 413 00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:54,120 Speaker 1: named Crunchkin, who is very similar, Like, you earn points 414 00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:57,240 Speaker 1: and you can maybe get a free what have you? Okay, 415 00:28:57,320 --> 00:29:00,760 Speaker 1: like like a little uh yes, because we used to 416 00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:06,520 Speaker 1: that was a big thing too. We had little digital pits. Yeah. Yeah. 417 00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:09,520 Speaker 1: But here's a note from Taco Bell's press release about 418 00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:12,720 Speaker 1: this whole thing. Why two K wasn't just a moment, 419 00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:19,560 Speaker 1: it was a lifestyle. I mean that's accurate, that's not 420 00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:25,600 Speaker 1: inaccurate at all. It's true. And when we were discussing why. 421 00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:30,160 Speaker 1: I personally think this is related to Halloween. There is 422 00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:34,760 Speaker 1: kind of the generational horror of realizing when you grew 423 00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:39,560 Speaker 1: up it's now a costume. Yeah. Also there's a horror 424 00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:43,040 Speaker 1: movie called Why two K so that is based on 425 00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:50,680 Speaker 1: the computer situation. But oh my goodness, yeah yeah, that's 426 00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:56,000 Speaker 1: uh huh yeah. I again, if you want to I 427 00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:59,960 Speaker 1: believe all these items are available at Taco Bell's nation. 428 00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:02,520 Speaker 1: Why they kind of did a slow release, But if 429 00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:04,520 Speaker 1: you're like, I don't know if I want to go 430 00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:07,680 Speaker 1: try them. There are a lot of reviews about oh 431 00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:10,320 Speaker 1: yeah items, so you can find From what I understand, 432 00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:12,960 Speaker 1: the chili cheese burrito seems to be that in the 433 00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:16,200 Speaker 1: Apple and Panada people are really into I think people 434 00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:19,720 Speaker 1: like the cool red Strito's Locos tacos, but the they 435 00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:24,800 Speaker 1: were saying it get soggy too fast. But I mean, 436 00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:28,800 Speaker 1: if you've got opinions, I personally would love to hear them. 437 00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:33,040 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah. I didn't like get into Taco Bell 438 00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:37,160 Speaker 2: until actually super producer Andrew introduced it to me, so 439 00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:44,160 Speaker 2: like within the past like five years. Uh So I 440 00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:47,960 Speaker 2: never consumed any of those when they were originally out, 441 00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:51,640 Speaker 2: and but I remember hearing all of those words and 442 00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:55,200 Speaker 2: I and I guess I was surprised they're not still. 443 00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:57,960 Speaker 2: I was like, oh, there's went away, Okay, cool, Well 444 00:30:58,120 --> 00:30:58,600 Speaker 2: here we are. 445 00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:04,120 Speaker 1: Yeah.
