1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:01,120
Speaker 1: Trick or treat.

2
00:00:01,240 --> 00:00:02,400
Speaker 2: It's one more thing.

3
00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:06,080
Speaker 3: I'm shy, one more thing.

4
00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:13,440
Speaker 2: Before we talk a little Halloween. On this day before Halloween,

5
00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:16,520
Speaker 2: came across this tweet, which I thought was funny.

6
00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:21,000
Speaker 1: This guy said, I live.

7
00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:23,360
Speaker 2: In constant fear that Trump will deport my Latina mother

8
00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:26,440
Speaker 2: in law, who lives at eighteen thirty seven Third Street,

9
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:29,200
Speaker 2: Los Angeles, nine or zero two three, Blue house. She

10
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:30,280
Speaker 2: gets off work at six.

11
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:36,159
Speaker 1: That's pretty funny.

12
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:37,360
Speaker 3: That is really good.

13
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:39,360
Speaker 2: So you see he doesn't like his mother in law.

14
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:40,920
Speaker 2: He would like her to be departed.

15
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:41,080
Speaker 3: You know.

16
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:41,919
Speaker 1: Okay, you got that.

17
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:49,080
Speaker 3: His initial fear was actually a mask he was wearing.

18
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:52,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, she was trying to He was trying to hype

19
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 2: the fact that he doesn't even prefer his mother in

20
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:54,960
Speaker 2: law be around.

21
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:55,520
Speaker 3: Good.

22
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:56,880
Speaker 1: I'll know what I would do without you, guys, I

23
00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 1: do not understand the thing.

24
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, we got something Halloween there, Michael. Before I

25
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:07,280
Speaker 2: saw Halloween.

26
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:10,479
Speaker 4: Yeah, my wife and I Now, I like the regular

27
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 4: trick or treating where you take kids to the houses,

28
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 4: but we participated for the first time in what's called

29
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:18,400
Speaker 4: a trick or trunk sure, and that's very popular now,

30
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 4: where a bunch of cars you open up your trunk,

31
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:21,319
Speaker 4: you fill it with candy and.

32
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:27,480
Speaker 2: All all built over the completely manufacturer fake scare that

33
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 2: has been going on for decades that it's too dangerous

34
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:32,120
Speaker 2: to go door to door. But anyway, so we are

35
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 2: kind of curious.

36
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 4: So we went ahead and it was at our church,

37
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 4: and so you know, it supposed to be a nice

38
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 4: family event. What we found though, was it was amazing

39
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:41,479
Speaker 4: to us. You had the little kids that were really

40
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 4: cute and it's just fun. But then there were some

41
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 4: families where the adults are here to grab candy.

42
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 2: It was just it's amazing.

43
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 4: The number of people that they bring. A little kid

44
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 4: is like they're helping. The adults are grabbing candy for themselves,

45
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 4: and then they walk away and the little kids just

46
00:01:57,880 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 4: with them, but really isn't getting the candy at all.

47
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 2: It is quite amazing. I've told the story of being

48
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 2: at an ester a gun as a DJ many many times.

49
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 2: I was the MC of the Seast eight Hunt and

50
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:10,960
Speaker 2: watching adults knock down little children to get candy. Candy

51
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:12,519
Speaker 2: is practically free, by.

52
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 3: The way, Yeah yeah, since it's a church event, i'd

53
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 3: be forced to say, buy your own effing candy. Brother.

54
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 1: I had this conversation with.

55
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:23,960
Speaker 5: You with a friend the other day about if you

56
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 5: have trick or treaters, right, and you have the little

57
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:27,799
Speaker 5: kids that come up, say trick or treat, get the candy.

58
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:30,079
Speaker 5: But then what if you have the couple that brings

59
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 5: their newborn that's dressed up.

60
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, you just want candy?

61
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 2: Dude, aren't you a grown man?

62
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 1: Do you have a job right?

63
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 5: Can you give you any candy? You brought your baby

64
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:40,240
Speaker 5: along as a prop.

65
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 1: Pos weak ass? Yeah?

66
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:51,680
Speaker 3: The truth is and a person must just accept this

67
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:56,360
Speaker 3: in craft a society around this, although progressives don't, is

68
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 3: that a fair percentage of people will do the wrong

69
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:04,240
Speaker 3: thing on a consistent basis. You cannot trust people to

70
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:06,239
Speaker 3: try hard to take care of themselves to do the

71
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:10,919
Speaker 3: right thing. They just won't. There are a thousand examples

72
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 3: of it, and they're highly annoying.

73
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 1: But you just have to accept it.

74
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 2: When did the we talked about this a lot at

75
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 2: the time, when did the trunk or treat thing take off?

76
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:22,639
Speaker 2: It's fine, and I've done it before and it's it's good,

77
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 2: but I just remember how it was born. I remember

78
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 2: it was born of it's too dangerous to go up

79
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 2: to strangers doors in modern America.

80
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 1: So we too.

81
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:32,920
Speaker 2: Now we meet it and you know, have all our.

82
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 3: Cars, they might get a hit, a crack or a

83
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 3: razor blade.

84
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 5: So it said we have them go up to strangers

85
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 5: cars to get candy.

86
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 1: This seems like a worse concept.

87
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 2: Trunk We're all you got to do is put a

88
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 2: bag over the head, put them in the trunk with

89
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:47,119
Speaker 2: a done deal.

90
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 1: No, it's generally it like a group.

91
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 3: It's a church or whatever. And the the idea is

92
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 3: we've had people right in and say, no, it's nice

93
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 3: because we all get together with our friends and the

94
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 3: kids play and we know where they are and we

95
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 3: all hang out and talk with our friends, which is fine.

96
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 3: But it was born of paranoia, just ridiculous paranoia in

97
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 3: the early days of the Internet and people waking up

98
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 3: in bath tubs with the ice and the note saying

99
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 3: your kidneys have been harvested. It was born right around

100
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 3: the same time.

101
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 4: I kept thinking about what Jack said, though you have

102
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:20,719
Speaker 4: to charge a certain amount to get the run as.

103
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:21,159
Speaker 1: All it takes.

104
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:24,039
Speaker 2: I've seen it in action. A one dollar charge will

105
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:28,160
Speaker 2: make a festival so much cleaner and nicer than a

106
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 2: free festival.

107
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 1: It's just true. It doesn't take much to eliminate that crowd.

108
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:37,360
Speaker 3: Speaking of prices, the consumer price index for candy and

109
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:40,360
Speaker 3: chewing gum is up twenty two percent since Biden took

110
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:43,279
Speaker 3: office nearly four years ago. That's more than twice the

111
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 3: cumulative inflation during Trump's presidency. Twenty two percent more for

112
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:50,600
Speaker 3: your candy and gum. That's Joe Biden's America.

113
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:53,279
Speaker 2: It is more expensive, but having purchased candy at the

114
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:56,359
Speaker 2: story the other day, it is still practically free to

115
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:59,720
Speaker 2: buy way more candy than you could ever eat in

116
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:00,599
Speaker 2: your lif lifetime.

117
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 3: It's practically free plus twenty two percent. Rich Man, it's

118
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:09,360
Speaker 3: amazing what a giant bag of crap costs, not that much.

119
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 2: I feel like the of course this is probably true.

120
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 2: Obviously this is true. Shrink Flation has hit the mini

121
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:21,600
Speaker 2: candies because they're smaller now than they even were before.

122
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:26,279
Speaker 2: They're almost to the point of absurdity. Mike, then it is, yes,

123
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 2: micro candies.

124
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:30,919
Speaker 5: The internet went nuts yesterday or the day before because

125
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:34,559
Speaker 5: a woman got those miniature quote unquote fun sized bags

126
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:37,159
Speaker 5: of Eminem's, and she's so fun. She opened one and

127
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 5: there was one Eminem in the Oh boy, that's not fun.

128
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 3: It is no funny.

129
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:44,920
Speaker 2: It is about to say. I was looking at these

130
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 2: kitcats where I think the energy to unwrap the tinfoil

131
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 2: would burn more calories than the candy bar. So maybe

132
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 2: it's a win wall.

133
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:56,039
Speaker 3: If you unwrap your M and MS and you have

134
00:05:56,400 --> 00:06:01,680
Speaker 3: an M in there. That was the heartbeat they it's

135
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 3: it's hard to justify it, like the packaging. We're going

136
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 3: through the trouble of buying it and transporting it to

137
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 3: them from the store. What have I What are we doing?

138
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:10,479
Speaker 1: That's funny.

139
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:12,919
Speaker 2: I hadn't even noticed it till now. How tiny the

140
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:17,040
Speaker 2: new bite size, fund size whatever they whatever lie they

141
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:20,719
Speaker 2: call it, How tiny they are. I'll have to I'll

142
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 2: have to do that. Take some pictures at home, like

143
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 2: next to a coin or something to give you some perspective.

144
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:26,560
Speaker 1: Look, there.

145
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 3: Ought to be a bust on Madison Avenue for the

146
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:34,720
Speaker 3: guy who cooked up the name fund size. Right, Hey,

147
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:37,160
Speaker 3: what do we what do we call these little candy bars?

148
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 3: We're gonna we're gonna charge actually per ounce fifty percent more.

149
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:45,280
Speaker 3: But anybody got an idea? Yeah, a small sized diet? No, no, no,

150
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 3: that's all negative. Give me something positive.

151
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 1: Fun size? Do you expect trigger treats where you live, Katie, Yes,

152
00:06:57,240 --> 00:06:57,720
Speaker 1: lots of them.

153
00:06:57,720 --> 00:06:58,839
Speaker 2: What kind of candy you got?

154
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:02,159
Speaker 1: I actually have not gotten it yet. What will you get?

155
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:05,799
Speaker 5: Oh, I'm thinking of sticking with chocolate this year because

156
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 5: I don't know, I don't like them, Like in what

157
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 5: form do you ladle it out of a pot?

158
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 1: Or Yes, I'm gonna have a fondue fountain, Jack, Yes,

159
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 1: that'd be funny.

160
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:17,680
Speaker 2: Have the fountain and the fruit, and the kids can

161
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 2: stick their fruit in the fountain and have a couple

162
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 2: of bites.

163
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 1: For the one skewer per child.

164
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 5: I'm thinking like the Snickers and the Reeses and all

165
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 5: the stuff that I like, so that I can eat

166
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 5: it after and we don't give it all away.

167
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:30,120
Speaker 4: Give the full sized candy bar.

168
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a right house. Henry was big on we're

169
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:34,240
Speaker 2: going to do full size. We're gonna go legend.

170
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 1: That's what he said. We're gonna go legend. Yeah, we

171
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 1: get it. You're rich, very good, Jack.

172
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:41,080
Speaker 2: I'm gonna have like six trigger treaders, I'm sure. And

173
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:42,960
Speaker 2: I don't I want the candy gone. I don't want

174
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 2: it around the house. I want it gone. Last kid

175
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:48,360
Speaker 2: of the night. You get your basket completely full of

176
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 2: whatever I got left.

177
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 1: No one has.

178
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 3: But there's no blanket way. I give out the full

179
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:55,280
Speaker 3: sized candy bars. And I'll tell you why, because those

180
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 3: kids haven't earned it. It's the redistribution of candy. It

181
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 3: ran forces socialist impulses. The free market is how you

182
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 3: get candy?

183
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 2: What if I have them entertain me for a few minutes?

184
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 2: Can you dance or something or sing?

185
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 1: You know what you can? I have a pull up

186
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 1: bar at his front door.

187
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 3: Right, I am the Ron Swanson of holidays, Halloween houses. Yeah,

188
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 3: that's right.

189
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 2: The joy I used to get from getting candy as

190
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:24,640
Speaker 2: a little kid, I barely remember it, but I remember

191
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:26,600
Speaker 2: it was joyful. I remember it was very, very exciting

192
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 2: because I never was around candy that quantity before. I

193
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:33,320
Speaker 2: think my kids are around so much candy. I'm candy.

194
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:34,960
Speaker 2: I'm surprised leaves a mark with them.

195
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 1: Really.

196
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 5: I remember, like my last my last year of trick

197
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 5: or treating was one pillowcases got cool. Everybody had their

198
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 5: pillowcase to fill up.

199
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:46,079
Speaker 3: There you go. I liked the idea of making them dance, dance,

200
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:50,559
Speaker 3: dance for me. I watched for a second. Nope, close

201
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:51,040
Speaker 3: the door.

202
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:53,600
Speaker 1: I got it. You look at the bar.

203
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:55,960
Speaker 4: If it's fifty calories, they got to burn fifty calories

204
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 4: before you they can eat it.

205
00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 3: I've a net zero calorie policy. Put them on a treadmill, right,

206
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:04,560
Speaker 3: little ghost.

207
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 1: As soon as the thing on the treadmill says you've

208
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:10,320
Speaker 1: hit fifty calories behind you in the candy bar, there

209
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 1: you go on.

210
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 3: Happy Halloween kid.

211
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:15,400
Speaker 1: The dance not good enough. You can do, you can do.

212
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 2: Come on, you can do better than that.

213
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:23,160
Speaker 1: You'd call that dancing Nope slam.

214
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:25,200
Speaker 4: All right, kid, make sure you stretch before you go

215
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:27,960
Speaker 4: to Joe Getty's house. Well, I guess that's it.
