WEBVTT - 103024 AG OMT Trick or Treat

0:00:00.200 --> 0:00:01.120
<v Speaker 1>Trick or treat.

0:00:01.240 --> 0:00:02.400
<v Speaker 2>It's one more thing.

0:00:03.560 --> 0:00:06.080
<v Speaker 3>I'm shy, one more thing.

0:00:08.680 --> 0:00:13.440
<v Speaker 2>Before we talk a little Halloween. On this day before Halloween,

0:00:13.760 --> 0:00:16.520
<v Speaker 2>came across this tweet, which I thought was funny.

0:00:18.520 --> 0:00:21.000
<v Speaker 1>This guy said, I live.

0:00:20.880 --> 0:00:23.360
<v Speaker 2>In constant fear that Trump will deport my Latina mother

0:00:23.440 --> 0:00:26.440
<v Speaker 2>in law, who lives at eighteen thirty seven Third Street,

0:00:26.440 --> 0:00:29.200
<v Speaker 2>Los Angeles, nine or zero two three, Blue house. She

0:00:29.240 --> 0:00:30.280
<v Speaker 2>gets off work at six.

0:00:35.240 --> 0:00:36.159
<v Speaker 1>That's pretty funny.

0:00:36.400 --> 0:00:37.360
<v Speaker 3>That is really good.

0:00:37.600 --> 0:00:39.360
<v Speaker 2>So you see he doesn't like his mother in law.

0:00:39.400 --> 0:00:40.920
<v Speaker 2>He would like her to be departed.

0:00:40.960 --> 0:00:41.080
<v Speaker 3>You know.

0:00:41.200 --> 0:00:41.919
<v Speaker 1>Okay, you got that.

0:00:43.560 --> 0:00:49.080
<v Speaker 3>His initial fear was actually a mask he was wearing.

0:00:49.200 --> 0:00:52.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, she was trying to He was trying to hype

0:00:52.000 --> 0:00:54.200
<v Speaker 2>the fact that he doesn't even prefer his mother in

0:00:54.280 --> 0:00:54.960
<v Speaker 2>law be around.

0:00:55.280 --> 0:00:55.520
<v Speaker 3>Good.

0:00:55.560 --> 0:00:56.880
<v Speaker 1>I'll know what I would do without you, guys, I

0:00:56.920 --> 0:00:58.200
<v Speaker 1>do not understand the thing.

0:01:02.200 --> 0:01:06.600
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, we got something Halloween there, Michael. Before I

0:01:06.640 --> 0:01:07.280
<v Speaker 2>saw Halloween.

0:01:07.520 --> 0:01:10.479
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, my wife and I Now, I like the regular

0:01:10.520 --> 0:01:12.720
<v Speaker 4>trick or treating where you take kids to the houses,

0:01:12.800 --> 0:01:15.440
<v Speaker 4>but we participated for the first time in what's called

0:01:15.480 --> 0:01:18.400
<v Speaker 4>a trick or trunk sure, and that's very popular now,

0:01:18.440 --> 0:01:20.360
<v Speaker 4>where a bunch of cars you open up your trunk,

0:01:20.400 --> 0:01:21.319
<v Speaker 4>you fill it with candy and.

0:01:21.400 --> 0:01:27.480
<v Speaker 2>All all built over the completely manufacturer fake scare that

0:01:27.560 --> 0:01:29.800
<v Speaker 2>has been going on for decades that it's too dangerous

0:01:29.800 --> 0:01:32.120
<v Speaker 2>to go door to door. But anyway, so we are

0:01:32.200 --> 0:01:32.720
<v Speaker 2>kind of curious.

0:01:32.720 --> 0:01:34.240
<v Speaker 4>So we went ahead and it was at our church,

0:01:34.280 --> 0:01:35.640
<v Speaker 4>and so you know, it supposed to be a nice

0:01:35.680 --> 0:01:39.800
<v Speaker 4>family event. What we found though, was it was amazing

0:01:39.800 --> 0:01:41.479
<v Speaker 4>to us. You had the little kids that were really

0:01:41.520 --> 0:01:43.920
<v Speaker 4>cute and it's just fun. But then there were some

0:01:44.040 --> 0:01:46.520
<v Speaker 4>families where the adults are here to grab candy.

0:01:47.280 --> 0:01:49.000
<v Speaker 2>It was just it's amazing.

0:01:49.080 --> 0:01:52.000
<v Speaker 4>The number of people that they bring. A little kid

0:01:52.200 --> 0:01:55.360
<v Speaker 4>is like they're helping. The adults are grabbing candy for themselves,

0:01:55.440 --> 0:01:57.360
<v Speaker 4>and then they walk away and the little kids just

0:01:57.880 --> 0:01:59.920
<v Speaker 4>with them, but really isn't getting the candy at all.

0:02:00.600 --> 0:02:02.600
<v Speaker 2>It is quite amazing. I've told the story of being

0:02:02.640 --> 0:02:05.880
<v Speaker 2>at an ester a gun as a DJ many many times.

0:02:05.880 --> 0:02:07.440
<v Speaker 2>I was the MC of the Seast eight Hunt and

0:02:07.480 --> 0:02:10.960
<v Speaker 2>watching adults knock down little children to get candy. Candy

0:02:11.040 --> 0:02:12.519
<v Speaker 2>is practically free, by.

0:02:12.400 --> 0:02:16.040
<v Speaker 3>The way, Yeah yeah, since it's a church event, i'd

0:02:16.040 --> 0:02:19.200
<v Speaker 3>be forced to say, buy your own effing candy. Brother.

0:02:20.480 --> 0:02:21.600
<v Speaker 1>I had this conversation with.

0:02:21.639 --> 0:02:23.960
<v Speaker 5>You with a friend the other day about if you

0:02:24.000 --> 0:02:25.760
<v Speaker 5>have trick or treaters, right, and you have the little

0:02:25.800 --> 0:02:27.799
<v Speaker 5>kids that come up, say trick or treat, get the candy.

0:02:27.840 --> 0:02:30.079
<v Speaker 5>But then what if you have the couple that brings

0:02:30.120 --> 0:02:32.320
<v Speaker 5>their newborn that's dressed up.

0:02:32.760 --> 0:02:34.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you just want candy?

0:02:34.520 --> 0:02:35.560
<v Speaker 2>Dude, aren't you a grown man?

0:02:35.600 --> 0:02:36.720
<v Speaker 1>Do you have a job right?

0:02:36.840 --> 0:02:39.160
<v Speaker 5>Can you give you any candy? You brought your baby

0:02:39.200 --> 0:02:40.240
<v Speaker 5>along as a prop.

0:02:41.840 --> 0:02:48.560
<v Speaker 1>Pos weak ass? Yeah?

0:02:48.360 --> 0:02:51.680
<v Speaker 3>The truth is and a person must just accept this

0:02:51.800 --> 0:02:56.360
<v Speaker 3>in craft a society around this, although progressives don't, is

0:02:56.400 --> 0:02:59.720
<v Speaker 3>that a fair percentage of people will do the wrong

0:02:59.800 --> 0:03:04.240
<v Speaker 3>thing on a consistent basis. You cannot trust people to

0:03:04.440 --> 0:03:06.239
<v Speaker 3>try hard to take care of themselves to do the

0:03:06.320 --> 0:03:10.919
<v Speaker 3>right thing. They just won't. There are a thousand examples

0:03:10.919 --> 0:03:12.720
<v Speaker 3>of it, and they're highly annoying.

0:03:12.320 --> 0:03:14.000
<v Speaker 1>But you just have to accept it.

0:03:14.440 --> 0:03:16.200
<v Speaker 2>When did the we talked about this a lot at

0:03:16.200 --> 0:03:18.760
<v Speaker 2>the time, when did the trunk or treat thing take off?

0:03:19.639 --> 0:03:22.639
<v Speaker 2>It's fine, and I've done it before and it's it's good,

0:03:22.639 --> 0:03:25.440
<v Speaker 2>but I just remember how it was born. I remember

0:03:25.480 --> 0:03:27.840
<v Speaker 2>it was born of it's too dangerous to go up

0:03:27.880 --> 0:03:30.320
<v Speaker 2>to strangers doors in modern America.

0:03:30.680 --> 0:03:31.280
<v Speaker 1>So we too.

0:03:31.440 --> 0:03:32.920
<v Speaker 2>Now we meet it and you know, have all our.

0:03:32.800 --> 0:03:35.560
<v Speaker 3>Cars, they might get a hit, a crack or a

0:03:35.680 --> 0:03:37.480
<v Speaker 3>razor blade.

0:03:37.920 --> 0:03:40.160
<v Speaker 5>So it said we have them go up to strangers

0:03:40.280 --> 0:03:41.360
<v Speaker 5>cars to get candy.

0:03:41.520 --> 0:03:42.720
<v Speaker 1>This seems like a worse concept.

0:03:42.800 --> 0:03:44.000
<v Speaker 2>Trunk We're all you got to do is put a

0:03:44.040 --> 0:03:46.440
<v Speaker 2>bag over the head, put them in the trunk with

0:03:46.520 --> 0:03:47.119
<v Speaker 2>a done deal.

0:03:48.000 --> 0:03:49.840
<v Speaker 1>No, it's generally it like a group.

0:03:49.920 --> 0:03:52.520
<v Speaker 3>It's a church or whatever. And the the idea is

0:03:52.560 --> 0:03:54.200
<v Speaker 3>we've had people right in and say, no, it's nice

0:03:54.200 --> 0:03:56.480
<v Speaker 3>because we all get together with our friends and the

0:03:56.560 --> 0:03:58.440
<v Speaker 3>kids play and we know where they are and we

0:03:58.520 --> 0:04:00.880
<v Speaker 3>all hang out and talk with our friends, which is fine.

0:04:00.880 --> 0:04:04.680
<v Speaker 3>But it was born of paranoia, just ridiculous paranoia in

0:04:04.720 --> 0:04:08.160
<v Speaker 3>the early days of the Internet and people waking up

0:04:08.160 --> 0:04:10.880
<v Speaker 3>in bath tubs with the ice and the note saying

0:04:10.880 --> 0:04:13.640
<v Speaker 3>your kidneys have been harvested. It was born right around

0:04:13.640 --> 0:04:14.320
<v Speaker 3>the same time.

0:04:15.160 --> 0:04:16.960
<v Speaker 4>I kept thinking about what Jack said, though you have

0:04:17.040 --> 0:04:20.719
<v Speaker 4>to charge a certain amount to get the run as.

0:04:20.560 --> 0:04:21.159
<v Speaker 1>All it takes.

0:04:21.200 --> 0:04:24.039
<v Speaker 2>I've seen it in action. A one dollar charge will

0:04:24.040 --> 0:04:28.160
<v Speaker 2>make a festival so much cleaner and nicer than a

0:04:28.200 --> 0:04:28.960
<v Speaker 2>free festival.

0:04:29.279 --> 0:04:32.560
<v Speaker 1>It's just true. It doesn't take much to eliminate that crowd.

0:04:33.160 --> 0:04:37.360
<v Speaker 3>Speaking of prices, the consumer price index for candy and

0:04:37.400 --> 0:04:40.360
<v Speaker 3>chewing gum is up twenty two percent since Biden took

0:04:40.400 --> 0:04:43.279
<v Speaker 3>office nearly four years ago. That's more than twice the

0:04:43.320 --> 0:04:47.760
<v Speaker 3>cumulative inflation during Trump's presidency. Twenty two percent more for

0:04:47.839 --> 0:04:50.600
<v Speaker 3>your candy and gum. That's Joe Biden's America.

0:04:50.680 --> 0:04:53.279
<v Speaker 2>It is more expensive, but having purchased candy at the

0:04:53.279 --> 0:04:56.359
<v Speaker 2>story the other day, it is still practically free to

0:04:56.480 --> 0:04:59.720
<v Speaker 2>buy way more candy than you could ever eat in

0:04:59.760 --> 0:05:00.599
<v Speaker 2>your lif lifetime.

0:05:00.880 --> 0:05:05.320
<v Speaker 3>It's practically free plus twenty two percent. Rich Man, it's

0:05:05.360 --> 0:05:09.360
<v Speaker 3>amazing what a giant bag of crap costs, not that much.

0:05:12.279 --> 0:05:14.960
<v Speaker 2>I feel like the of course this is probably true.

0:05:15.080 --> 0:05:18.200
<v Speaker 2>Obviously this is true. Shrink Flation has hit the mini

0:05:18.360 --> 0:05:21.600
<v Speaker 2>candies because they're smaller now than they even were before.

0:05:22.160 --> 0:05:26.279
<v Speaker 2>They're almost to the point of absurdity. Mike, then it is, yes,

0:05:26.440 --> 0:05:27.520
<v Speaker 2>micro candies.

0:05:27.800 --> 0:05:30.919
<v Speaker 5>The internet went nuts yesterday or the day before because

0:05:30.920 --> 0:05:34.559
<v Speaker 5>a woman got those miniature quote unquote fun sized bags

0:05:34.560 --> 0:05:37.159
<v Speaker 5>of Eminem's, and she's so fun. She opened one and

0:05:37.200 --> 0:05:42.320
<v Speaker 5>there was one Eminem in the Oh boy, that's not fun.

0:05:42.360 --> 0:05:43.400
<v Speaker 3>It is no funny.

0:05:43.560 --> 0:05:44.920
<v Speaker 2>It is about to say. I was looking at these

0:05:45.000 --> 0:05:49.880
<v Speaker 2>kitcats where I think the energy to unwrap the tinfoil

0:05:50.120 --> 0:05:52.400
<v Speaker 2>would burn more calories than the candy bar. So maybe

0:05:52.400 --> 0:05:54.320
<v Speaker 2>it's a win wall.

0:05:54.240 --> 0:05:56.039
<v Speaker 3>If you unwrap your M and MS and you have

0:05:56.400 --> 0:06:01.680
<v Speaker 3>an M in there. That was the heartbeat they it's

0:06:01.720 --> 0:06:05.320
<v Speaker 3>it's hard to justify it, like the packaging. We're going

0:06:05.360 --> 0:06:07.320
<v Speaker 3>through the trouble of buying it and transporting it to

0:06:07.360 --> 0:06:09.800
<v Speaker 3>them from the store. What have I What are we doing?

0:06:10.000 --> 0:06:10.479
<v Speaker 1>That's funny.

0:06:10.520 --> 0:06:12.919
<v Speaker 2>I hadn't even noticed it till now. How tiny the

0:06:13.040 --> 0:06:17.040
<v Speaker 2>new bite size, fund size whatever they whatever lie they

0:06:17.120 --> 0:06:20.719
<v Speaker 2>call it, How tiny they are. I'll have to I'll

0:06:20.760 --> 0:06:23.240
<v Speaker 2>have to do that. Take some pictures at home, like

0:06:23.279 --> 0:06:25.760
<v Speaker 2>next to a coin or something to give you some perspective.

0:06:26.120 --> 0:06:26.560
<v Speaker 1>Look, there.

0:06:28.240 --> 0:06:30.400
<v Speaker 3>Ought to be a bust on Madison Avenue for the

0:06:30.440 --> 0:06:34.720
<v Speaker 3>guy who cooked up the name fund size. Right, Hey,

0:06:34.760 --> 0:06:37.160
<v Speaker 3>what do we what do we call these little candy bars?

0:06:37.320 --> 0:06:40.760
<v Speaker 3>We're gonna we're gonna charge actually per ounce fifty percent more.

0:06:40.800 --> 0:06:45.280
<v Speaker 3>But anybody got an idea? Yeah, a small sized diet? No, no, no,

0:06:45.360 --> 0:06:47.760
<v Speaker 3>that's all negative. Give me something positive.

0:06:48.640 --> 0:06:57.000
<v Speaker 1>Fun size? Do you expect trigger treats where you live, Katie, Yes,

0:06:57.240 --> 0:06:57.720
<v Speaker 1>lots of them.

0:06:57.720 --> 0:06:58.839
<v Speaker 2>What kind of candy you got?

0:06:59.560 --> 0:07:02.159
<v Speaker 1>I actually have not gotten it yet. What will you get?

0:07:02.440 --> 0:07:05.799
<v Speaker 5>Oh, I'm thinking of sticking with chocolate this year because

0:07:06.440 --> 0:07:08.440
<v Speaker 5>I don't know, I don't like them, Like in what

0:07:08.520 --> 0:07:10.520
<v Speaker 5>form do you ladle it out of a pot?

0:07:10.600 --> 0:07:13.640
<v Speaker 1>Or Yes, I'm gonna have a fondue fountain, Jack, Yes,

0:07:14.120 --> 0:07:14.880
<v Speaker 1>that'd be funny.

0:07:15.120 --> 0:07:17.680
<v Speaker 2>Have the fountain and the fruit, and the kids can

0:07:17.720 --> 0:07:19.480
<v Speaker 2>stick their fruit in the fountain and have a couple

0:07:19.480 --> 0:07:19.960
<v Speaker 2>of bites.

0:07:19.800 --> 0:07:21.360
<v Speaker 1>For the one skewer per child.

0:07:22.800 --> 0:07:25.840
<v Speaker 5>I'm thinking like the Snickers and the Reeses and all

0:07:25.840 --> 0:07:27.360
<v Speaker 5>the stuff that I like, so that I can eat

0:07:27.360 --> 0:07:28.680
<v Speaker 5>it after and we don't give it all away.

0:07:28.760 --> 0:07:30.120
<v Speaker 4>Give the full sized candy bar.

0:07:30.200 --> 0:07:32.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, there's a right house. Henry was big on we're

0:07:32.600 --> 0:07:34.240
<v Speaker 2>going to do full size. We're gonna go legend.

0:07:34.280 --> 0:07:36.160
<v Speaker 1>That's what he said. We're gonna go legend. Yeah, we

0:07:36.200 --> 0:07:37.880
<v Speaker 1>get it. You're rich, very good, Jack.

0:07:38.760 --> 0:07:41.080
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna have like six trigger treaders, I'm sure. And

0:07:41.120 --> 0:07:42.960
<v Speaker 2>I don't I want the candy gone. I don't want

0:07:42.960 --> 0:07:45.840
<v Speaker 2>it around the house. I want it gone. Last kid

0:07:45.880 --> 0:07:48.360
<v Speaker 2>of the night. You get your basket completely full of

0:07:48.400 --> 0:07:49.360
<v Speaker 2>whatever I got left.

0:07:50.160 --> 0:07:50.960
<v Speaker 1>No one has.

0:07:51.240 --> 0:07:53.200
<v Speaker 3>But there's no blanket way. I give out the full

0:07:53.240 --> 0:07:55.280
<v Speaker 3>sized candy bars. And I'll tell you why, because those

0:07:55.360 --> 0:07:59.520
<v Speaker 3>kids haven't earned it. It's the redistribution of candy. It

0:07:59.640 --> 0:08:04.600
<v Speaker 3>ran forces socialist impulses. The free market is how you

0:08:04.640 --> 0:08:05.320
<v Speaker 3>get candy?

0:08:05.840 --> 0:08:07.880
<v Speaker 2>What if I have them entertain me for a few minutes?

0:08:07.920 --> 0:08:09.280
<v Speaker 2>Can you dance or something or sing?

0:08:09.480 --> 0:08:10.880
<v Speaker 1>You know what you can? I have a pull up

0:08:10.920 --> 0:08:11.880
<v Speaker 1>bar at his front door.

0:08:13.720 --> 0:08:18.280
<v Speaker 3>Right, I am the Ron Swanson of holidays, Halloween houses. Yeah,

0:08:18.320 --> 0:08:18.760
<v Speaker 3>that's right.

0:08:20.000 --> 0:08:22.560
<v Speaker 2>The joy I used to get from getting candy as

0:08:22.600 --> 0:08:24.640
<v Speaker 2>a little kid, I barely remember it, but I remember

0:08:24.640 --> 0:08:26.600
<v Speaker 2>it was joyful. I remember it was very, very exciting

0:08:28.040 --> 0:08:30.840
<v Speaker 2>because I never was around candy that quantity before. I

0:08:30.880 --> 0:08:33.320
<v Speaker 2>think my kids are around so much candy. I'm candy.

0:08:33.320 --> 0:08:34.960
<v Speaker 2>I'm surprised leaves a mark with them.

0:08:35.000 --> 0:08:35.280
<v Speaker 1>Really.

0:08:35.440 --> 0:08:37.760
<v Speaker 5>I remember, like my last my last year of trick

0:08:37.800 --> 0:08:40.760
<v Speaker 5>or treating was one pillowcases got cool. Everybody had their

0:08:40.760 --> 0:08:41.800
<v Speaker 5>pillowcase to fill up.

0:08:41.840 --> 0:08:46.079
<v Speaker 3>There you go. I liked the idea of making them dance, dance,

0:08:46.559 --> 0:08:50.559
<v Speaker 3>dance for me. I watched for a second. Nope, close

0:08:50.679 --> 0:08:51.040
<v Speaker 3>the door.

0:08:51.880 --> 0:08:53.600
<v Speaker 1>I got it. You look at the bar.

0:08:53.640 --> 0:08:55.960
<v Speaker 4>If it's fifty calories, they got to burn fifty calories

0:08:55.960 --> 0:08:56.800
<v Speaker 4>before you they can eat it.

0:08:57.679 --> 0:09:02.160
<v Speaker 3>I've a net zero calorie policy. Put them on a treadmill, right,

0:09:03.920 --> 0:09:04.560
<v Speaker 3>little ghost.

0:09:06.120 --> 0:09:08.000
<v Speaker 1>As soon as the thing on the treadmill says you've

0:09:08.040 --> 0:09:10.320
<v Speaker 1>hit fifty calories behind you in the candy bar, there

0:09:10.360 --> 0:09:10.760
<v Speaker 1>you go on.

0:09:11.600 --> 0:09:12.800
<v Speaker 3>Happy Halloween kid.

0:09:13.120 --> 0:09:15.400
<v Speaker 1>The dance not good enough. You can do, you can do.

0:09:15.600 --> 0:09:16.920
<v Speaker 2>Come on, you can do better than that.

0:09:18.880 --> 0:09:23.160
<v Speaker 1>You'd call that dancing Nope slam.

0:09:23.200 --> 0:09:25.200
<v Speaker 4>All right, kid, make sure you stretch before you go

0:09:25.240 --> 0:09:27.960
<v Speaker 4>to Joe Getty's house. Well, I guess that's it.
