Speaker 1: Trick or treat.
Speaker 2: It's one more thing.
Speaker 3: I'm shy, one more thing.
Speaker 2: Before we talk a little Halloween. On this day before Halloween,
Speaker 2: came across this tweet, which I thought was funny.
Speaker 1: This guy said, I live.
Speaker 2: In constant fear that Trump will deport my Latina mother
Speaker 2: in law, who lives at eighteen thirty seven Third Street,
Speaker 2: Los Angeles, nine or zero two three, Blue house. She
Speaker 2: gets off work at six.
Speaker 1: That's pretty funny.
Speaker 3: That is really good.
Speaker 2: So you see he doesn't like his mother in law.
Speaker 2: He would like her to be departed.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 1: Okay, you got that.
Speaker 3: His initial fear was actually a mask he was wearing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, she was trying to He was trying to hype
Speaker 2: the fact that he doesn't even prefer his mother in
Speaker 2: law be around.
Speaker 3: Good.
Speaker 1: I'll know what I would do without you, guys, I
Speaker 1: do not understand the thing.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, we got something Halloween there, Michael. Before I
Speaker 2: saw Halloween.
Speaker 4: Yeah, my wife and I Now, I like the regular
Speaker 4: trick or treating where you take kids to the houses,
Speaker 4: but we participated for the first time in what's called
Speaker 4: a trick or trunk sure, and that's very popular now,
Speaker 4: where a bunch of cars you open up your trunk,
Speaker 4: you fill it with candy and.
Speaker 2: All all built over the completely manufacturer fake scare that
Speaker 2: has been going on for decades that it's too dangerous
Speaker 2: to go door to door. But anyway, so we are
Speaker 2: kind of curious.
Speaker 4: So we went ahead and it was at our church,
Speaker 4: and so you know, it supposed to be a nice
Speaker 4: family event. What we found though, was it was amazing
Speaker 4: to us. You had the little kids that were really
Speaker 4: cute and it's just fun. But then there were some
Speaker 4: families where the adults are here to grab candy.
Speaker 2: It was just it's amazing.
Speaker 4: The number of people that they bring. A little kid
Speaker 4: is like they're helping. The adults are grabbing candy for themselves,
Speaker 4: and then they walk away and the little kids just
Speaker 4: with them, but really isn't getting the candy at all.
Speaker 2: It is quite amazing. I've told the story of being
Speaker 2: at an ester a gun as a DJ many many times.
Speaker 2: I was the MC of the Seast eight Hunt and
Speaker 2: watching adults knock down little children to get candy. Candy
Speaker 2: is practically free, by.
Speaker 3: The way, Yeah yeah, since it's a church event, i'd
Speaker 3: be forced to say, buy your own effing candy. Brother.
Speaker 1: I had this conversation with.
Speaker 5: You with a friend the other day about if you
Speaker 5: have trick or treaters, right, and you have the little
Speaker 5: kids that come up, say trick or treat, get the candy.
Speaker 5: But then what if you have the couple that brings
Speaker 5: their newborn that's dressed up.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you just want candy?
Speaker 2: Dude, aren't you a grown man?
Speaker 1: Do you have a job right?
Speaker 5: Can you give you any candy? You brought your baby
Speaker 5: along as a prop.
Speaker 1: Pos weak ass? Yeah?
Speaker 3: The truth is and a person must just accept this
Speaker 3: in craft a society around this, although progressives don't, is
Speaker 3: that a fair percentage of people will do the wrong
Speaker 3: thing on a consistent basis. You cannot trust people to
Speaker 3: try hard to take care of themselves to do the
Speaker 3: right thing. They just won't. There are a thousand examples
Speaker 3: of it, and they're highly annoying.
Speaker 1: But you just have to accept it.
Speaker 2: When did the we talked about this a lot at
Speaker 2: the time, when did the trunk or treat thing take off?
Speaker 2: It's fine, and I've done it before and it's it's good,
Speaker 2: but I just remember how it was born. I remember
Speaker 2: it was born of it's too dangerous to go up
Speaker 2: to strangers doors in modern America.
Speaker 1: So we too.
Speaker 2: Now we meet it and you know, have all our.
Speaker 3: Cars, they might get a hit, a crack or a
Speaker 3: razor blade.
Speaker 5: So it said we have them go up to strangers
Speaker 5: cars to get candy.
Speaker 1: This seems like a worse concept.
Speaker 2: Trunk We're all you got to do is put a
Speaker 2: bag over the head, put them in the trunk with
Speaker 2: a done deal.
Speaker 1: No, it's generally it like a group.
Speaker 3: It's a church or whatever. And the the idea is
Speaker 3: we've had people right in and say, no, it's nice
Speaker 3: because we all get together with our friends and the
Speaker 3: kids play and we know where they are and we
Speaker 3: all hang out and talk with our friends, which is fine.
Speaker 3: But it was born of paranoia, just ridiculous paranoia in
Speaker 3: the early days of the Internet and people waking up
Speaker 3: in bath tubs with the ice and the note saying
Speaker 3: your kidneys have been harvested. It was born right around
Speaker 3: the same time.
Speaker 4: I kept thinking about what Jack said, though you have
Speaker 4: to charge a certain amount to get the run as.
Speaker 1: All it takes.
Speaker 2: I've seen it in action. A one dollar charge will
Speaker 2: make a festival so much cleaner and nicer than a
Speaker 2: free festival.
Speaker 1: It's just true. It doesn't take much to eliminate that crowd.
Speaker 3: Speaking of prices, the consumer price index for candy and
Speaker 3: chewing gum is up twenty two percent since Biden took
Speaker 3: office nearly four years ago. That's more than twice the
Speaker 3: cumulative inflation during Trump's presidency. Twenty two percent more for
Speaker 3: your candy and gum. That's Joe Biden's America.
Speaker 2: It is more expensive, but having purchased candy at the
Speaker 2: story the other day, it is still practically free to
Speaker 2: buy way more candy than you could ever eat in
Speaker 2: your lif lifetime.
Speaker 3: It's practically free plus twenty two percent. Rich Man, it's
Speaker 3: amazing what a giant bag of crap costs, not that much.
Speaker 2: I feel like the of course this is probably true.
Speaker 2: Obviously this is true. Shrink Flation has hit the mini
Speaker 2: candies because they're smaller now than they even were before.
Speaker 2: They're almost to the point of absurdity. Mike, then it is, yes,
Speaker 2: micro candies.
Speaker 5: The internet went nuts yesterday or the day before because
Speaker 5: a woman got those miniature quote unquote fun sized bags
Speaker 5: of Eminem's, and she's so fun. She opened one and
Speaker 5: there was one Eminem in the Oh boy, that's not fun.
Speaker 3: It is no funny.
Speaker 2: It is about to say. I was looking at these
Speaker 2: kitcats where I think the energy to unwrap the tinfoil
Speaker 2: would burn more calories than the candy bar. So maybe
Speaker 2: it's a win wall.
Speaker 3: If you unwrap your M and MS and you have
Speaker 3: an M in there. That was the heartbeat they it's
Speaker 3: it's hard to justify it, like the packaging. We're going
Speaker 3: through the trouble of buying it and transporting it to
Speaker 3: them from the store. What have I What are we doing?
Speaker 1: That's funny.
Speaker 2: I hadn't even noticed it till now. How tiny the
Speaker 2: new bite size, fund size whatever they whatever lie they
Speaker 2: call it, How tiny they are. I'll have to I'll
Speaker 2: have to do that. Take some pictures at home, like
Speaker 2: next to a coin or something to give you some perspective.
Speaker 1: Look, there.
Speaker 3: Ought to be a bust on Madison Avenue for the
Speaker 3: guy who cooked up the name fund size. Right, Hey,
Speaker 3: what do we what do we call these little candy bars?
Speaker 3: We're gonna we're gonna charge actually per ounce fifty percent more.
Speaker 3: But anybody got an idea? Yeah, a small sized diet? No, no, no,
Speaker 3: that's all negative. Give me something positive.
Speaker 1: Fun size? Do you expect trigger treats where you live, Katie, Yes,
Speaker 1: lots of them.
Speaker 2: What kind of candy you got?
Speaker 1: I actually have not gotten it yet. What will you get?
Speaker 5: Oh, I'm thinking of sticking with chocolate this year because
Speaker 5: I don't know, I don't like them, Like in what
Speaker 5: form do you ladle it out of a pot?
Speaker 1: Or Yes, I'm gonna have a fondue fountain, Jack, Yes,
Speaker 1: that'd be funny.
Speaker 2: Have the fountain and the fruit, and the kids can
Speaker 2: stick their fruit in the fountain and have a couple
Speaker 2: of bites.
Speaker 1: For the one skewer per child.
Speaker 5: I'm thinking like the Snickers and the Reeses and all
Speaker 5: the stuff that I like, so that I can eat
Speaker 5: it after and we don't give it all away.
Speaker 4: Give the full sized candy bar.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a right house. Henry was big on we're
Speaker 2: going to do full size. We're gonna go legend.
Speaker 1: That's what he said. We're gonna go legend. Yeah, we
Speaker 1: get it. You're rich, very good, Jack.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna have like six trigger treaders, I'm sure. And
Speaker 2: I don't I want the candy gone. I don't want
Speaker 2: it around the house. I want it gone. Last kid
Speaker 2: of the night. You get your basket completely full of
Speaker 2: whatever I got left.
Speaker 1: No one has.
Speaker 3: But there's no blanket way. I give out the full
Speaker 3: sized candy bars. And I'll tell you why, because those
Speaker 3: kids haven't earned it. It's the redistribution of candy. It
Speaker 3: ran forces socialist impulses. The free market is how you
Speaker 3: get candy?
Speaker 2: What if I have them entertain me for a few minutes?
Speaker 2: Can you dance or something or sing?
Speaker 1: You know what you can? I have a pull up
Speaker 1: bar at his front door.
Speaker 3: Right, I am the Ron Swanson of holidays, Halloween houses. Yeah,
Speaker 3: that's right.
Speaker 2: The joy I used to get from getting candy as
Speaker 2: a little kid, I barely remember it, but I remember
Speaker 2: it was joyful. I remember it was very, very exciting
Speaker 2: because I never was around candy that quantity before. I
Speaker 2: think my kids are around so much candy. I'm candy.
Speaker 2: I'm surprised leaves a mark with them.
Speaker 1: Really.
Speaker 5: I remember, like my last my last year of trick
Speaker 5: or treating was one pillowcases got cool. Everybody had their
Speaker 5: pillowcase to fill up.
Speaker 3: There you go. I liked the idea of making them dance, dance,
Speaker 3: dance for me. I watched for a second. Nope, close
Speaker 3: the door.
Speaker 1: I got it. You look at the bar.
Speaker 4: If it's fifty calories, they got to burn fifty calories
Speaker 4: before you they can eat it.
Speaker 3: I've a net zero calorie policy. Put them on a treadmill, right,
Speaker 3: little ghost.
Speaker 1: As soon as the thing on the treadmill says you've
Speaker 1: hit fifty calories behind you in the candy bar, there
Speaker 1: you go on.
Speaker 3: Happy Halloween kid.
Speaker 1: The dance not good enough. You can do, you can do.
Speaker 2: Come on, you can do better than that.
Speaker 1: You'd call that dancing Nope slam.
Speaker 4: All right, kid, make sure you stretch before you go
Speaker 4: to Joe Getty's house. Well, I guess that's it.
