Episode 3: Consumer Halloween
Ever wondered why skulls are mysteriously absent from Christian-themed stores like Hobby Lobby? Or struggled with the perfect timing to start your Halloween decorations? Join us in a laughter-filled journey as we kick off this episode with playful banter and dive into the whimsical world of Halloween traditions. From DIY ghosties with shoes to the hilarious challenges of holiday decorating during a pandemic, we share our stories and insights that will surely light up your spooky season.
Can horror, Halloween, and nerd culture coexist in harmony? Travis reveals how he embraced Kayla's horror-themed aesthetic, while we discuss the rise of cosplay and its ties to platforms like OnlyFans. Julia shares her balancing act of minimalism and holiday decor, and we humorously consider turning homes into Twister-themed wonderlands, complete with floating cows. Reminisce with us about the iconic movie "Twister," tornado sirens, and the nostalgia they evoke from childhood.
From the excitement of the Blue Angels' air show in Chicago to the humorous speculation of Tom Cruise's fictional speed, this episode is packed with eclectic conversations. We delve into teenage trick-or-treating norms and themed weddings, laugh over Travis's potential dress-wearing antics, and reflect on the importance of safe transportation during holidays. Whether it’s reminiscing about childhood costumes or imagining Larry Bird-inspired attire, join us for a hearty laugh and a nostalgic walk through Halloween's quirky traditions.
Pressing all the buttons.
Speaker 2:Pressing all the buttons. Yeah, Pressing all the buttons.
Speaker 1:Break it down, Pressing all the buttons. Yeah.
Speaker 2:How many buttons do you have? Eight buttons, eight buttons, and we're gonna keep pressing them, keep pressing them. How do you stop?
Speaker 1:Hey everyone, welcome to episode three. You feel me dog? This is Kayla.
Speaker 2:I'm Travis.
Speaker 3:And I'm Julia, welcome back.
Speaker 1:So this week we figured we should probably be a little more transparent and let you guys know that we plan on releasing our episodes every Monday Gives us time to do some editing and just hang out as well.
Speaker 2:So yeah, for sure, Every Monday every Monday. Okay, so real quick, I just want to let everyone know that our sense of humor is really fucked up and dark, so we're going to say some really dark and twisted, dumb shit and just let you guys all know we're all friends and family, so these jokes aren't real.
Speaker 1:That being said, episode three. We're talking a little bit holiday, but mostly Halloween. Halloween is my absolute favorite holiday and aesthetic I know. Last week we kind of talked about how I don't really care about aesthetic. Turns out that's a lie. I change my mind all the time. I like aesthetic of Halloween.
Speaker 2:It is your aesthetic, it is for sure, and it's awesome.
Speaker 1:So, yes, it's only August, but Halloween's the next big holiday that we have. So I just want to talk about that. Like when is it considered appropriate to decorate for Halloween, specifically Because a lot of stores start putting out decorations for it, like beginning, I'd say like right after Fourth of July?
Speaker 2:Right after, for sure.
Speaker 3:Especially craft stores.
Speaker 2:Yeah, like.
Speaker 3:I think of Hobby Lobby and Michael's right now. Yeah, it's spooky season for them, it is. Yeah.
Speaker 1:Except I told Trav this too Hobby Lobby does no longer do Halloween decoration because they're a Christian store. They will only do fall decor. I found that out a couple years ago actually. They don't do Halloween specific anymore. That totally makes sense, but I'm still shocked by that. I know right, missed opportunity.
Speaker 2:What does that mean? They just don't do ghosts.
Speaker 3:That's the only thing they don't do. No graveyards.
Speaker 1:How dare you like to talk about death and be okay with death?
Speaker 3:I just saw a video and it made me laugh, because it's this woman dressed up as Dorothy and her kid was dressed up, maybe as a lion or something like baby, baby. She's like, as Christians, we don't celebrate Halloween, but we do just like to dress up for fun. And it was Stitch and the guy's like yeah, like every person that celebrates halloween, like they were just dressing up. Man, you're celebrating halloween, you dressed up, but in their mind, nope, because it has some deep, rich, satanic underlining tone with it.
Speaker 1:So they do cosplay, which is fine, not for it, I'm for it, but also no, you're wrong, it's bad.
Speaker 2:Oh my gosh so when did they start pushing releasing their halloween decorations till july? Because I feel like when we were younger, it definitely was it not. Was it always july that they released everything in stores the halloween decorations? I?
Speaker 1:I feel like it was more like September. If it was July, we didn't notice it, I guess.
Speaker 2:I guess so yeah.
Speaker 1:Well, and I had read somewhere it might have been in an article that you found, Julia that ever since COVID people want to celebrate and decorate holidays in general more For sure Because it makes them feel more connected.
Speaker 3:So I don't know if maybe with like shutdowns from covid, if that caused more people to be like, yeah, decorate early and I, like I remember growing up we had like bins and it was allocated for each holiday and we used the same decorations, like I knew what was going to go up every year. Maybe we got some more tinsel, but now, myself included, I'm buying new shit, so it's one of those. They're like oh wait a second, you are going to buy a new runner. You're going to buy a new tablecloth every single season. Hell yeah, we'll get it to you as soon as possible.
Speaker 3:But, going with the static. They possible, but don't make it happen.
Speaker 2:Yeah, going with the aesthetic they were like okay, cool, I have so much more time to plan for this yeah, I can go to home goods and tj, maxx and marshalls.
Speaker 3:Yeah, hobby lobby definitely not hobby, because that's fall.
Speaker 1:Well, we already went into michael's earlier in july and I was looking at decor and I was like, okay, what's in here that I could diy make? And I found these little ghosties that have little shoes on them. So I bought some different fabric that I like and I tried to make it. It was a failure, but beauty in the attempt and it was fun. It gave me something to do that night.
Speaker 3:Charles, did you enjoy watching her attempt this From?
Speaker 2:the couch. It was awesome. I was like, oh yeah, do it, yeah, get it.
Speaker 3:I do think your little skeletons that you put in the bathtub, oh, my gosh. Was it marbles or cotton balls? It was both. I used both. That was, I think, my favorite Halloween one that you've done to date. That was precious.
Speaker 1:You know what? The only thing I had to buy for that I didn't already have was the skeletons itself, because the little quote bathtub that I put them in it was actually an empty M&M container.
Speaker 3:Amazing.
Speaker 2:A crafty little bitch.
Speaker 1:Peanuts are peanut butter M&Ms. Regular, only regular, trav. That's what goes best, with popcorn, of course. Speaking of popcorn, trav and I went and saw the movie Twisters the new one, and we were comparing it to the original one, because the new one is very upbeat and very yeah, let's go chase some storms. And the old one is a little more horror-like with the music. The music's just kind of like. I don't know if that's a good analogy or not.
Speaker 2:Hey, guess what Hollywood You're hired.
Speaker 3:It's just more, it has more of a like oh, this is eerie like not yeah they're trying to make it scary, like yeah these, you know, supernatural twisters can fucking kill you, dude yeah, basically we grew up being afraid of right tornadoes, like that was a fear yeah, so I don't.
Speaker 1:That was something we talked about this week too, though it was just like do we like the original more because of the horror music in it?
Speaker 2:well, it was it was edited and shot kind of like a horror movie. Like the very beginning it was like joe, our main character, fucking her dad, dies and it's just shot like there's this mysterious force coming yeah with this music that's also spooky and suspenseful. Even the opening credit with just twisters is fucking scary cows coming out of nowhere.
Speaker 1:We got cows anyway, I love that movie was there was it the same story storyline uh no, it was a different storyline oh okay, it wasn't just like a remake, it was almost a continuation, and if you had seen original Twister, you know that they have Dorothy and that's the whole thing. Yeah, so in this one they have a Dorothy that they use in conjunction with what they're trying to do Interesting, because they're trying to suffocate tornadoes from the inside out with what they're trying to get inside of a tornado.
Speaker 2:Yeah, destroy the moisture so it can just basically die.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so it can just basically die. Yeah, so it basically suffocates it out. Yeah, so, and it's good, I just checks out for me. That was something I thought. So I found this thing. It said usa today said holiday sales make up 30 of all sales for almost every store, specifically with craft stores like michael's. That just blows my mind. So then it made me think okay, well, we all know people celebrate for Christmas all the time. But then, julia, you had found that article where it said that Halloween is becoming just as big as Christmas as far as like spending goes.
Speaker 3:Yeah, because I no longer think it's a holiday, I think it's a lifestyle at this point. So we went to the state fair, yeah, and there is a lot of just craft vendor shows and they have indiana stuff. So there was one where it says like the band corn, oh yeah. Well, instead of with the k, they put it with the c corn and they have over the state of indiana and has like the corn little logo on and they're really cute. But then they had state of ind, indiana stickers that had the Freddy Krueger and Austin was like why? I just don't get that, because that has nothing to do with Indiana. I go, it doesn't matter, they're just cute, it's popular, in the shape of like your state. And he just didn't understand it Because he's like no, I like that, it's cute. He was, it just isn't indiana. I was like that's. But again, you're just like that because. But yeah, because it's halloween mixed with the state and it's more just people like that shit yeah, I, I can see what he's saying, how he doesn't get it.
Speaker 1:but then if I were to see that, I'd be like oh my gosh, it's freddie krueger, he's one my favorites and it has my state.
Speaker 3:I almost got it for you. It makes it kind of personal. Almost. He's talking shit about what I want to buy.
Speaker 1:Actually I was going to buy this for my cousin. Well, that's one thing that I was kind of thinking about, because in the downstairs bathroom I keep that plug in with the little nightlight year round and it's what looks like a male and a female little skeleton sitting inside of a carriage and then it's a ghost horse that pulls them. And I remember my mom came over and she was like, hey, did you realize that your halloween like plug-in is still in there? And I was like mom, that's not a halloween plug-in, like, it's two people in love. They just happen to be dead. It's year round.
Speaker 3:That is. I can see her saying that 100% 100% dude.
Speaker 1:It's just. It's just one of those things Like she's one of those people that she just doesn't get it. She's like no, that's a holiday. I'm like no, they're in love. It's a put this up like no, no, I didn't forget.
Speaker 3:Actually I unplugged it and put it away for you, okay, so trap, with kayla's aesthetic being more of a horror. Yes halloween themed. How did? When you guys got married and started dating, how did you adapt to that? Was that something you're like oh yeah, I dig this or did it take some transition?
Speaker 2:that's a good question I feel like nerd culture kind of goes hand in hand with the Halloween stuff. So it was pretty easy. Honestly, when I think about it yeah, nerds and horror and Halloween I feel like all three of those just go hand in hand.
Speaker 3:Maybe I don't know- Similar color scheme, for sure.
Speaker 2:For sure. Just kind of an obsession with those three categories yeah.
Speaker 1:So it was pretty easy being okay with cosplay, kind of like yeah, exactly, but it's true, though, like cosplay is so more, so much more accepted these days, I feel like is that because of only fans?
Speaker 2:honestly, oh my gosh is it. I think so. I mean, if you're not making money from something, I don't think it's going to become popular. Wow, that's what I think it is. If you're not, if you can't make money from doing cosplay, then no one would be fucking doing it I guess it is expensive it's.
Speaker 3:I think the makeup alone is expensive. I still think people would be doing it, but I also there's. So if you're doing cosplay on social media, yes you're getting partnerships, you're also getting paid for that as well yeah, if you're a cosplay on social media, you're getting partnerships, you're also getting paid for that as well.
Speaker 2:Yeah, If you're a hot woman doing cosplay, dude set.
Speaker 3:With tail biddies.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 3:Man all right.
Speaker 2:And you can fucking filter and manipulate it to make your ass look even better, baby.
Speaker 1:Yep.
Speaker 2:All right, I'm starting an OnlyFans, all right. Here we go, we're going to get Trav to start wearing padded underwear, so his booty be all bubble butt. Let's take a poll, man. Do we all actually want to try on thongs to see if it's comfortable or not? Because I don't. But if you do, put it down in the comments below.
Speaker 3:Send us a link with a picture, right?
Speaker 1:We need it.
Speaker 2:Make sure it's really up there. You know what I'm saying. Dog, you feel me.
Speaker 1:We feel you. I feel you, dog. One of the other things I had found was 77% of people who plan on celebrating a holiday expect to buy decoration. That's like what you said, julia, how every single year you do buy something new for a certain holiday, all the time. And I'm kind of on this kick right now of trying to consume less. And this year, I'm pleased to say, I've only bought two pillows, oh, but also, I still bought two pillows. It's the middle of august.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's already happened the weather is far from frightful well what does that even mean? You know what I mean. Are we still talking about twister, or?
Speaker 1:talking about halloween.
Speaker 2:I was talking, we talk about all of it, whatever the fuck we want Because it's an aesthetic, it fits, that's right. Can we make our house Twister themed? What would that look like aesthetically?
Speaker 3:A mess all the time. I think you would have to have a floating cow. Oh my gosh For sure.
Speaker 2:Just Just moving around.
Speaker 1:Mm-hmm.
Speaker 2:Just a cow.
Speaker 1:The cats would go crazy.
Speaker 2:That would be awesome, dude.
Speaker 3:For those that don't know, travis's favorite movie is Twister. Yeah, the original.
Speaker 2:For sure.
Speaker 3:In case that wasn't apparent yet, and I think it was actually a personal attack on you, travis, when they took Twister away at Universal Studios.
Speaker 1:Oh my God, Dude, that was one of my favorites, I know.
Speaker 2:I wish I could have been there. It was so cool. I'm so sad I couldn't have experienced it, because I would have came.
Speaker 1:Oh man, it was so cool, kind of like a 4D ride, wouldn't you say that's how you'd describe it? We're standing almost like we're in the Twister. Yeah, at the drive-in. We were standing at the drive-in.
Speaker 3:And they going like crazy.
Speaker 1:Yes.
Speaker 3:It's wild. There's like a hologram of.
Speaker 1:Helen Hunt and she's like okay, get ready, it's coming, the winds are going to be intense.
Speaker 3:And it is. Oh my gosh, I forgot that's what her name was.
Speaker 2:She's in her white tank top shirt. Rain's just coming down on her, so she looks really good. You know what I mean.
Speaker 1:That's exactly what it is, I feel you dog Twister, ride it out, baby. Hell yeah, that is a good ride.
Speaker 2:Oh my gosh, that looks awesome.
Speaker 3:So, being grown up in Arkansas for those few years like ages like three to eight, I remember that being like tornado sirens all the time we didn't have a shelter, shelter. But our neighbors across the street had a legit cemented shelter and as a kid we always wanted to go in there and play in it, but we weren't allowed and it was like because we were so desensitized to it. Yeah, they're like, no, like. Not only this locks from the inside, it was one of those like you know, scary things.
Speaker 3:But to us it was kind of like oh yeah, this happens all the time, like yeah, this is a normal thing.
Speaker 1:We're just gonna go to the neighbor's cellar on a tuesday night like it was just was normal, just being southern yeah, I mean southern us state tornado alley man. Yeah, it's some spooky stuff.
Speaker 3:It was crazy that shit can tear up. I could have lost my dad I mean, you could be Wade.
Speaker 2:Your dad wouldn't have held that door. Okay, he would have just let the door fly open. He didn't have to get sucked up by that fucking tornado. God, what was the dad thinking at the beginning of that fucking movie? Let go of the damn door.
Speaker 1:Let go of the door, get down low and you'll be fine.
Speaker 3:Yeah, the door came off and guess what? Your daughter and wife didn't get sucked out. Just go further in.
Speaker 1:Go further in and duck on down. That's that Southern education. He just ain't know. He just ain't know. Did you find the ride?
Speaker 2:I did. It looks like awesome.
Speaker 1:It's pretty cool.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 3:Definitely one of the top rides at Universal.
Speaker 2:Yeah, November 2nd 2015 was when it was closed oh, geez 2015 wow may 4th 1998 is when it opened it opened for my brother's birthday. Oh my gosh justin, we mentioned you in the previous episode. Justin is julia's brother. Oh, yeah, he'll be here at some point he's gonna show up on top gun with tom cruise oh, top gun baby, gotta get the boys back together that's an elite school dude I can never get in never, okay, I went to chicago last weekend oh yeah, and they had.
Speaker 3:I don't even know what it was called. They just had a shit ton of airplanes like the blue angels were there, oh, and they were just doing flips and stuff. They'd go all the way up and then it would go idle and you would watch it like spiral like helix down, terrifying yeah but it was an absolute blast to watch. That's why were they there. That's so cool. Do you think tom cruise orchestrated it?
Speaker 2:did you guys watch the closing ceremonies to olympics? No, no he flew from paris to la in two seconds it was amazing, really.
Speaker 3:Wow, whatever, no, he didn't. Oh, I was like are you fucking serious?
Speaker 2:they wanted to make it look like he fucking did it that fast blew himself.
Speaker 1:Yeah, because he's a real damn it.
Speaker 3:I was invested in that. I was like what? Because?
Speaker 2:la is hosting the olymp 2028. Yeah, so he was passing the baton to LA.
Speaker 1:Hell yeah Gosh.
Speaker 2:LA doesn't give a fuck.
Speaker 1:No, not even a little bit.
Speaker 2:Who cares that they're having Olympics in LA? I want to know, not the rich people. He could give two shits.
Speaker 3:So because the homelessness is such an issue in LA.
Speaker 2:The homeless people do.
Speaker 3:Do you think they're going to clear them out, or are they just going to leave them and then let it be? They're just going to beg.
Speaker 2:They're just going to make a killing.
Speaker 1:They're going to make a killing, which is awesome.
Speaker 2:They're going to hire stagehands and make fucking like a wall behind, or around the homeless people.
Speaker 1:They're going to green screen them behind so that you can't actually see them, but then, if you actually come to LA, you'll be given money. You know what? Maybe those homeless people could actually get off the streets. That's true.
Speaker 3:I think you're supposed to call them people in transition now, do you guys think homeless people dress up for Halloween?
Speaker 1:Dude, fuck that's so good, but honestly, why not? Because people give you candy and or other shit sometimes, like I remember being a kid and there was one guy in the neighborhood that gave us like a coin dollar bill I.
Speaker 3:I think if I was homeless I would dress up to go like as like my parents disappointment, oh my gosh yeah, I would destroy my second level of my cardboard house to dress up as a fucking robot or something.
Speaker 2:You know what I mean.
Speaker 1:Well, it also goes into, though, like our culture is very much this is for kids and not for adults or even really even teenagers. I feel like sometimes get looked down on.
Speaker 3:For sure, which I just think it sucks, it pisses me off.
Speaker 1:I would much rather a teenager be trick or treating-treating than doing something shitty like smashing pumpkins.
Speaker 3:I think being a teenager is really hard for obviously so many reasons, with just transitioning hormones, everything. But then the way that people view teenagers are just like they're the shittiest people. They are just trying to have fun. They have all this energy. So if they're skateboarding, look down on pieces of shit. They can't even trick or treat, like if they go to walmart at 11 pm just to pass the time. I mean, that's the shit that we did. We did that all the time like again we could be out doing heroin right.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I could be out doing some serious harm to other people or myself or whatever, but instead I'm like walking around walmart yeah, are you just dressing up with your friends?
Speaker 3:going getting some candy and you're gonna shit on them.
Speaker 2:It's insane yeah, I remember being 14 and going and trick-or-treating and some of the parents were like, aren't you guys a little too old to be trick-or-treating? I'm like I, I guess, can we have candy?
Speaker 3:I mean what the?
Speaker 2:fuck, do you want us to do tonight?
Speaker 3:I'm bigger, give me more candy.
Speaker 2:Go smoke pot, go melt your brain, you fucking idiot. That's what he should have said.
Speaker 1:That is what he should have said You're not supposed to do this anymore. That's just such a weird thing. I would never say that to a teenager that came up.
Speaker 2:You're giving kids free candy. Who gives a shit?
Speaker 1:dude. Also, I don't want to keep this candy in my house. I bought it to give away.
Speaker 2:You know what this guy? He was fucking bald.
Speaker 1:He was fucking bald A bald bitch.
Speaker 2:Can you believe?
Speaker 3:that I can. That's definitely. That's that bald boy energy.
Speaker 1:Little white boy energy.
Speaker 3:Do you guys think you'd ever date someone? That's bald.
Speaker 1:Shut up. I can't stand you, I could never.
Speaker 3:I feel like we need to put a picture of Austin now.
Speaker 2:What would you do, trav? I'd give myself 10 years, and then I'd probably be shaving my fucking head if I'm still alive by then, woo.
Speaker 1:In 10 years Wait. We're going to be 42 in 10 years wait we're, we're gonna be 42 in 10 years. We'll be 42 and don't age yourself. I don't, yeah, I don't know, trav, I'm just shooting for you to make it to 40 yes, that's what I was gonna say.
Speaker 2:If I can make it to 40, fuck, yeah, we're gonna celebrate. 40 is gonna be an awesome birthday just because of that alone is it gonna be a halloween party? Okay, it might. It might be sorry, edited that out.
Speaker 3:That was my bad so we I think I have a different view on this than you do about themed weddings, ah, okay, so I think you guys have gone to a couple like halloween themed ish weddings I've been to one or one, it was just one, yeah maybe not even themed, but like people having them on holidays yes and I know you guys hate it because it takes away from you being able to celebrate that, and which I do totally agree with that.
Speaker 3:but if I was invited to a halloween themed wedding where they were like, hey, dress up, I would lose my mind. That would be so much fucking fun but it would have to be no someone that I well, it would have to be someone that I know and like I would want to be there, but I still think that would be like that's an event in itself. Yeah, still think that would be like that's an event in itself.
Speaker 2:Uh, yeah I think that would be so fun someone somewhere has had to have had like a christmas themed fucking wedding somewhere.
Speaker 3:You know it, you know it well to be christmas themed.
Speaker 1:I mean, all they really need is red. The men could be in like green suits and the women are in red dresses and then instead of flowers, just wreaths everywhere, poinsettias, poinsettias. And then the little kids dress up like elves.
Speaker 3:That's what your bridesmaids dress up as Put elf ears on your bridesmaids. I think the reason why I'm most excited to get married in my future is because Travis is going to wear a dress and he's going to be my maid of honor.
Speaker 1:I'm so ready.
Speaker 2:I'm going to be swinging that dick and balls around.
Speaker 3:We've been trying to get you to wear a dress for like years, yeah.
Speaker 1:It's for quite a while We've been trying, yeah, but we wanted an event for it.
Speaker 3:But we need a good reason yeah.
Speaker 1:It can't just be because.
Speaker 3:The fish concert wasn't good enough. No yeah, it can't just be because the fish concert wasn't good enough.
Speaker 1:It's definitely not good enough. That is where that originated.
Speaker 3:Yeah, justin Just was dead silent for like 30 minutes and out of nowhere he just goes. Travis, what if you Wore a dress? We just lost it.
Speaker 2:Justin, I appreciate you visualizing me sexually In a dress.
Speaker 1:That's a good friendship. That's what that is, Justin.
Speaker 2:I appreciate you visualizing me sexually in a dress. I appreciate that that's a good friendship. That's what that is If you don't want to fuck your friends, then I don't know, do you guys have actual friendships?
Speaker 1:No, you're not. You should always find your friends attractive.
Speaker 2:You know me and Matt. You know we were always like yeah, let's fuck each other. You know, bleach our buttholes together.
Speaker 3:You know what I mean? Yeah, that's ass to ass, healthy, right, that is so you and matt, right oh my gosh, okay, well, free the nip, while you're bleaching your assholes, are you also making your own costumes?
Speaker 1:because I remember as a kid mom, only let us. We were allowed to go to the store. We were allowed to pick one thing. We were not allowed to pick a full outfit interesting.
Speaker 3:So you could choose, like a gun, and you had to be creative with how you wanted to use that gun.
Speaker 1:Yeah, pretty much, you could get a cloak yeah, like I remember one year I got a wig it was like a black and red wig and then went home and like pieced together like a witch outfit based off that wig that's so awesome.
Speaker 2:dude is awesome, it's interesting how it changes.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I remember my brother, ryan, having a Mortal Kombat costume, but I don't remember going to the store to buy it. I just remember him getting it and same with, like my mom had like a spider witch looking dress with the hat. Do you remember that? We wore that? Over, and over and over, and I don't remember how we got that either.
Speaker 3:Do you want to know what I imagine? Like them waiting until you took a nap in the middle of the day and Jen's, like Ryan, your sister's asleep.
Speaker 1:Let's go get a costume. We can get one for one of you, yeah.
Speaker 3:I do love how close you guys are to each other.
Speaker 1:It's awesome, kind of lucked out.
Speaker 3:So it could be like we have either a family gathering or, like you know, we go over to her house and then we can be at your house within a few minutes.
Speaker 1:I love that.
Speaker 3:Especially when we were drinking heavy. We could just drive drunk and it wasn't that far.
Speaker 1:And it wasn't that. It was literally like a one and a half minute drive. That's not that bad. The odds of me killing someone are low.
Speaker 3:That's you were to get pulled over, and you explain that to an officer, they would understand they would totally understand.
Speaker 2:That's the only reason my house is right down the road, just let me fucking go, just let me go, you can follow me home if you. My house is right there, man, you're five minutes away, it's right there. That's when they say, oh, you're right, go ahead bye-bye, keep driving.
Speaker 3:And then they say I'm drunk too.
Speaker 1:It's right exactly I wonder how much more likely there is to be drunk drivers, like on a halloween night, just because driving in general drunk is dangerous, but then there's more people out on halloween. You know what I mean? Does that make sense what I'm saying?
Speaker 3:I think it was worse before uber and lyft. That's a good point, yeah, and I think back even in college uber was new. Yeah, yeah, it was. I remember I would have like sometimes John and I would have a ride lined up before, like we would just give a friend, hey, 20 bucks take us home. And at that it's a college campus.
Speaker 3:The bars are like literally across the street, but yeah for sure. And then that was like people were putting promo codes that would link to their Uber. That's how new it was and then. So now we have an app store. I Uber is probably one of the favorites. It doesn't really matter for us anymore, but that was one of my favorite things that was ever invented.
Speaker 1:Well, and sometimes I've used Uber before just to like. I went and saw mean girls on the play, mean girls, the play, what? Yeah, I went with aaron you went to broadway well, it's the broadway, mean girls, but it was.
Speaker 1:It was that old national. But I ubered there even though I wasn't drinking, just for the sake of I didn't want to pay for driving, and it was just easier for sure. So I think I had trav dropped me off so that we could all go to dinner and then I Ubered home. It was great Then. I don't have to worry about a car.
Speaker 3:That is very nice.
Speaker 2:So fucking awesome.
Speaker 3:It's just a cool thing, especially back then.
Speaker 2:Gosh, it was like fucking 10, fucking bucks.
Speaker 1:Oh man.
Speaker 2:Round trip damn near. You know what I mean.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Fuck that shit.
Speaker 1:Because it was so new and we all had been told for so long not to get in the car with strangers that they were like, yeah, we need to make this very cheap.
Speaker 2:I know how fucking hilarious is that we were like the generation that you fucking strangers. You better fucking watch out. And then you fucking invent Uber and Lyft.
Speaker 3:Right, and dating apps, and dating apps. Oh my gosh.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we were doing. Every generation does the opposite of what the fucking parents say. That is so fucking funny, dude. Yeah, I missed the little pink mustache, though, on the fucking cars. Oh hell yeah, right, was that for Lyft? Oh, I don't know that one.
Speaker 3:I don't know which one. It had to have been Lyft it had to have been. I know what you're talking about.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I didn't know that. That's funny. Yeah, there was just a huge pink mustache on the front of the car. I would imagine someone. They're probably higher up, I would imagine in the lift ranks Interesting.
Speaker 3:But I do remember people telling us oh, be careful on the roads, it's a holiday, be careful. So I would say 4th of July would probably be the one that I would be the most worried about to be on the roads, or what is it? Blackout Wednesday, the day at bars. Bars the day before thanksgiving oh, because everyone comes home, they go to the local bar right before thanksgiving. I would say that one would be one that I would think about, but other than that I wouldn't say any holidays, I'd be worried about drunk drivers I guess new year's oh for sure.
Speaker 3:Yeah, you're right, that's true.
Speaker 1:But I also feel like for new year's, everyone actively plans to be getting that drunk.
Speaker 3:So then they have a plan in place and they're usually smart people, I mean a really, really late party, like right for the july party, is usually not well, the middle of it isn't at midnight and people aren't like out.
Speaker 1:Yeah, new year's, eat no more fireworks no more.
Speaker 3:Oh my gosh, white trash people on fireworks man, I'll never get over it.
Speaker 2:Dude, if anyone fucking wants to know. But you can actually get a Phantom fireworks credit card.
Speaker 1:Oh my gosh yeah.
Speaker 2:I learned that this year they have their own fucking credit cards because people spend so much money with fireworks.
Speaker 3:Imagine going into debt because of fireworks.
Speaker 1:No, no it, people spend so much money with fireworks.
Speaker 2:Imagine going into debt because of fireworks. No, no, it's bad. I don't know if it's the jewish in me, but I'm like god. This is fucking. It's over so fast and so pointless.
Speaker 1:I don't even see the point in investing in it I enjoy some sparklers and let someone else spend money on that I'm not a firework person yeah so daniel tosh has a bit in one of his little specials and it's saying and he's like asking fireworks or parade?
Speaker 3:fireworks are parade and he goes fireworks. I don't even have a joke for the idiot that says parade. Oh my gosh and I'm just like, I'm that fucking idiot like I would do parade over fireworks any day, because parade is over when it's done.
Speaker 1:Yeah, when it's done, it's done.
Speaker 3:Fireworks are a week before and five weeks after, because that poor fuck was like they're 70% off, I should load up. And they always say I'm going to load up until next year, but they fucking light all of them off that week.
Speaker 1:Well, and there are people that light them off, then at Christmas and then at New Year's, and then near forest, and then they can start a forest fire.
Speaker 3:It's perfect.
Speaker 1:I heard the world needs more smoke in it I heard that somewhere and more gender reveals Right.
Speaker 2:More gender reveals Fuck yeah, they're fucking shooting up all them fireworks for Diwali. That shit's awesome.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's true, there are fireworks for that too.
Speaker 2:Our neighbors are Indian, so every Diwali they fucking light it up. Dog Yep, they do Fuck. Yeah, you're right.
Speaker 3:All I could think of is the office Diwali party. And I just Michael singing Diwali.
Speaker 2:Did they have s'mores?
Speaker 1:He dresses up with a costume. I think it's a costume party.
Speaker 2:No, it's not.
Speaker 3:And she dressed up as a cheerleader and he just takes his costume off.
Speaker 1:And then he looks fine and this poor girl's in a cheerleader outfit oh my gosh Full circle.
Speaker 3:You guys. Back to Halloween, full circle, right.
Speaker 1:Meaning, is it? Well, we've already said that we agree it is an aesthetic. It's more than just at least Halloween A lifestyle. Now, that was one thing I was kind of talking to Travis about, too, though. So I feel like Halloween has become an aesthetic lifestyle, and there are no other holidays that are like that. Like in the middle of June you do not see people walking around with a Christmas tree on their sweatshirt or like an Easter bunny in September.
Speaker 2:I think it kind of correlates with like music, like heavy music, too kind of. It's all balanced. They're all integrated, dude.
Speaker 3:I also think like the Halloween aesthetic. If you're wearing that year round, no one thinks twice about it, right? If you are wearing like a hoppy Easter in October? I'm looking at you, I'm like hmm.
Speaker 2:Right.
Speaker 1:That's different.
Speaker 3:Couldn't find anything else, huh, but anything.
Speaker 2:Yeah, if Jesus saw you smited.
Speaker 3:You're already going to hell, so you can wear whatever you want, travis.
Speaker 2:That's fair, dude. That's why I have cancer. Dude, god hates you. Oh my gosh, twice I get cancer, twice the same cancer twice.
Speaker 3:Wow, you would have already gotten it if you were gay exactly that's why you've never actually bleached your asshole with matt. You just couldn't cross the line not yet, not yet okay, going back, I, we really did just growing up poor yeah yeah that was just not a cost that for a halloween costume. We weren't gonna do it. So we did a lot of homemade and I always kind of resented it when I was a kid because I wanted a costume so bad. But looking back, it's fun and it just promotes creativity.
Speaker 3:Don't say it was creative, but fuck, was I jealous. I was so jealous of the other kids. So one of our favorite activities that the three of us would do when we were drinking is Zubu. Oh my gosh.
Speaker 1:Or no Brouffari.
Speaker 3:And I'm bad at explaining things. Kayla explain what it is. No, yeah, brouffari, brouffari, yeah, and I'm bad at explaining things. Kayla explain what it is.
Speaker 1:No, I mean Brouffari, it was just a beer fest at the zoo, that's all it was. But it was during Halloween, so you dressed up and they even had a costume contest if you wanted to enter it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so a beer fest is where you get to try a bunch of random companies beers, that's what that is man, we just we'd one that we like and we just get back in line and get back in line yep, on top of the fucking high-end liquor that they would put in the middle usually I'm a hotel, hotel tango yep hotel
Speaker 3:tango shout out guys shout out, but we don't drink anymore, so actually, but I did, like their, their what do you call their lemon? One that they had, lemon Jell-O? Yeah, the one they did.
Speaker 1:Yeah, something like that. Yeah, I did like that one, and they were always nice people too, for sure.
Speaker 3:But, speaking with costumes, entering the contest at Bufari, we entered one year and our costume was awesome. So, travis, you were Rick from Rick and Morty, that's right. And Kayla and I went as aliens and we had our dresses matched everything, except I think we switched wigs.
Speaker 1:I think we switched wigs, but it was a legit costume. Yeah, it was awesome Like.
Speaker 3:I think we could have probably been top 10 at least. Yeah, but when we entered Travis you wrote Rick fucks aliens.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that sounds about right.
Speaker 3:And it was one of those like when the girl looked at it she was like okay, we're like fuck, we're not winning.
Speaker 1:now, we're not winning that, but we thought it was really funny.
Speaker 3:We walked away giggling so hard.
Speaker 2:God forbid, in an adult event fucking say adult shit.
Speaker 3:Fuck me, dude it just oh, I think the people that won one of the years was the Wizard of Oz group. Yes, yes. They were awesome, they were it was, and it was silly because the guy went as Dorothy.
Speaker 2:And he was like some big burly guy.
Speaker 3:That's right, and it was. It was silly.
Speaker 1:And that's why they won. It was a.
Speaker 3:Oh, who were? I think one of his names was Greg the one year.
Speaker 1:The Dalmatians, oh my gosh, those were legit costumes. I think that was the year that I was Harley.
Speaker 3:You yes.
Speaker 2:And you were Catwoman and Trapp was Batman.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we invited this couple to our fucking Halloween party. They looked so good.
Speaker 2:I fucking forgot about that until just now. That is so fucking funny. Oh it's weird. Hey guys looks so good.
Speaker 3:I fucking forgot about that till just now. That is so fucking funny, weird, hey guys.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you're gonna get together later, fucking hang out and drink well, and the reason we invited them was because their costume looked so good one of them was well, it looked so good and they were so nice yeah, one was cruella, and one of them was a dalmatian and I mean he had truly like paper mache ears, like it wasn't just a little headband with ears, it was ears Like they were good it was amazing.
Speaker 2:It was a great costume they own like a dog grooming business. You're right.
Speaker 3:Yes, I still follow them, do you really? It's a dog boarding business. That's awesome.
Speaker 2:Kayla accidentally sent them a photo of her with just a top and like fucking panties on dude.
Speaker 1:That shit was so fucking funny. Okay, not on purpose, not on purpose, just so we're clear.
Speaker 3:We were sending it to a group making fun of her because she looks hilarious and we're like, dude, send that.
Speaker 1:We're sending that to the group and Kayla and I accidentally sent it to this couple that we had just met because I was so drunk, and they never responded.
Speaker 2:And never showed up to the halloween party either kayla stone face just like like an action figure in its fucking case, fucking yours, fucking harley quinn, and just panties on. So funny dude it's amazing dude, I was looking at my instagram from that halloween evening whatever there was me pretending to choke you because you're harley qu I'm Batman. I should probably fucking delete this now because someone might fucking think I'm domestically abusing you or something.
Speaker 2:I think that's a joke in itself this podcast host is fucking choking at his wife everything they talk about is fake.
Speaker 3:They don't actually like each other if you hear any banging in the background, it's Travis beating the shit out of Kayla.
Speaker 1:No, it's Travis beating the shit out of Kayla? No, it's not.
Speaker 2:Oh my, this might be the most ADHD we've ever been. This is great.
Speaker 1:Oh, I'm sorry that I so technically friends, I am the one hosting today. This was my topic that I wanted to discuss. It's a fun topic. We're also learning, though, that Trav is way better at keeping us online with the things that we had planned to talk about.
Speaker 3:That's okay.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we're figuring this out Reeling it back.
Speaker 3:We're coming back. I'm okay with being a little bit chaotic too, I think it's good.
Speaker 1:So last year, a friend of mine lives in Irvington, which, if you're from local Indiana, irvington is a town in Indianapolis that is very, very big for Halloween. They have a huge Halloween fest every year. There's a giant parade. They have gosh. What is Joyce in? I wish I could remember the Black Witch Hat Society or something. And so they do fundraisers throughout the year to support the local community. Hey, real quick, Joyce, you a bad bitch dog, we love you, shout out to joyce we freaking love joyce.
Speaker 3:She's awesome. I think I've only met her one time, on a beer bus probably, and I only have fucking pot like the best things to say about her she's awesome, yeah, she's cool.
Speaker 2:Don't say pot, say marijuana. I can't help it, dude. If I have a, I'm going to fucking throw it out there, dude.
Speaker 1:Throw it out there. Throw it out there. Okay, we're going to leave all of this in too, because it's good.
Speaker 2:Hey, real quick, if you hear me coughing a lot, it's because I have lung cancer and I'm laughing at the same time. Classic.
Speaker 1:Yeah, trav isn't allowed to have extreme emotions about anything. He gets too extreme in his lungs say fuck that, shit cough. But anyway, last year for halloween, travis and I went over to joyce's house because she lives in irvington and handed out stuff there to those kids. She gets so many trick-or-treaters.
Speaker 3:Oh, oh, my gosh and I was like well, the kids aren't coming to our house this year for halloween, so let's do this with you.
Speaker 1:It was awesome, dude. It was like well, the kids aren't coming to our house this year for halloween, so let's do this with you.
Speaker 2:It was awesome dude, it was like the movies like so many people on the fucking street. Dude, there might have been one or two cars, but there was just everyone walking up and down the middle of the streets on the sidewalk. It was so cool, it was really cool it.
Speaker 1:one of her neighbors had like a whole table set up and it had like for the adults they had beer. If they wanted to grab a beer, they had apple cider. It was really cool. That is cool. So Joyce had this giant ass pot just full of candy, and then she had backup bags too.
Speaker 3:Oh, I love that.
Speaker 1:And it made me happy too, because last year I had decided I didn't really want to give candy to kids, just because we also are kind of trying to be better about stuff like that Give out apples walnuts, pennies.
Speaker 2:Oh, we'll get there, we'll talk about that.
Speaker 1:No, we gave out like tattoos and stickers and I had a bunch of little dinosaur things and it was so cute. We had one kid come up. He was like maybe five Holy cow, he knew dinosaurs and I had just kind of like been handing things to people kind of based on their age, and he said, can I pick my dinosaur? Because this one is a tyrannosaurus and I wanted to plug it to. But I was like these are the ones I have because I I don't know what fucked up, I don't know what dinosaur that is.
Speaker 2:No, Okay, Mark.
Speaker 1:Here's the one.
Speaker 2:Mark's from Love on the Spectrum, he loves dinosaurs and he's fucking awesome. Mark is the shit dude.
Speaker 3:He is cool. You want to know who also, so I'm re-watching season two of the US one this past week. I think, Tanner is really big into dinosaurs.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I think so.
Speaker 3:Because he's asking his date, because they go to the zoo. He's like you know, what other animals do you like? And he starts saying every, basically animal. He's like do you know any dinosaurs? And she's like no, he goes that's okay, I do, I know all of them.
Speaker 2:He's like a little encyclopedia.
Speaker 1:It's awesome he is it's precious dinosaurs man who would have thought I know they're so cool they are cool like mysterious creatures, dude I saw a joke that I sent to a, a friend of mine. That was uh um, if a human and a dinosaur raced, who would win the human? Because the dinosaur is dead. I laughed so hard I love that.
Speaker 2:Thank you very much really cute I was just gonna do. We want to go and talk about passing out treats or going out.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, I mean, that was why I brought up the whole Irvington thing.
Speaker 3:Okay.
Speaker 1:Because I really, really enjoyed passing out to kids because, like, I had that experience with that little kid and it was just cute to see him be so excited to get a toy instead of like a candy, instead of like a candy.
Speaker 3:So especially in the situation at Joyce's house with so many trick-or-treaters. I think the kids would be more excited and more, because you know you see someone passing out something other than candy in a neighborhood that isn't passing out a ton of candy, it's kind of like oh well, shit. But when you're getting bag fulls of candy and someone's giving you other things like that, it's such a nice little change. That's a good way to say that. That's a good point. Yeah, I still prefer the king size ones, but fucking.
Speaker 3:Hey dude, yes you guys ever try to go back to the houses that gave out king size candies? Oh man, in mom's neighborhood at least in middle school.
Speaker 1:I remember there was one year that we went all through the neighborhood and then we came home, switched costumes and went out again. Smart, there was a couple houses that did king size and there were a couple houses that gave you a little goodie bag of candy. Oh yeah, we went out twice, your mom More than once.
Speaker 3:Your mom's neighborhood is specifically what I remember yeah, it was just a good neighborhood too. What I remember yeah, it was just a good neighborhood too.
Speaker 1:I mean sidewalks, all throughout the whole thing. That was a great neighborhood. I enjoyed that neighborhood a lot.
Speaker 2:Man, what happened to the suburbs? And just caring for your neighbors and doing fun shit as a neighborhood.
Speaker 1:Dude, no kidding, I feel like.
Speaker 2:It's not like that anymore. I was just thinking this is kind of morbid of me, but how many kids or parents get hit on Halloween night? How often is that happening? You?
Speaker 1:know what I mean, just in general, because like you're saying people aren't moving yeah.
Speaker 3:But I think drivers are a million times more cautious because of it. Unless it's an absolute necessity, I do not get in my vehicle.
Speaker 3:I would agree with that Halloween and even when we had company vehicles it, they sent out like a week before saying hey. And even when we had company vehicles, they sent out like a week before saying hey, look out. Then the day before, then the day of yeah, and they made you like acknowledge it that hey, when you're like, they wouldn't even schedule sales later or jobs later in the day because they wanted you to get home before kids would be home. It is cool.
Speaker 2:It is cool.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it is. I mean, that's smart.
Speaker 3:I think it's the only cool thing that company did.
Speaker 1:But that was so cool.
Speaker 2:Well, like in a weird sense you could say, they were taking action.
Speaker 3:Oh, zing, zing, zing, zing zing. Oh my gosh.
Speaker 2:I'll never forget, though A high school teacher was handing out Mountain Dew game fuel. Oh yeah, in one year, and I think that was the best fucking thing. That was like 10 times better than the fucking candies that we were getting. It was just like so cool and so different.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it was the best thing, dude. That is cool.
Speaker 2:I don't know.
Speaker 3:That's awesome. What if someone's handing out ramen noodle packets?
Speaker 2:I think that would be cool.
Speaker 3:I think it would be cool too.
Speaker 1:It would still be cool, honestly. Honestly, would your parents have let you eat the ramen? We are just so silly. Would your? Would your parents have let you eat the ramen back then? Because remember it really, and maybe it still is a big thing and I'm just not a kid anymore, so I don don't hear the like, hey, make sure we check our candy, make sure it's not open. Oh yeah, you know what I mean. A ramen noodle pack. It's a little easier to potentially bust it open.
Speaker 3:Manipulate. Yeah, I don't think there's any fear of that anymore.
Speaker 1:I still see people post it, but it gets posted now as a joke of like. I can assure you I'm not wasting my drugs on your kids, for sure that's what I understand.
Speaker 2:It's like who's gonna waste their fucking drugs on these dumb ass kids right?
Speaker 3:especially in america, like they're not gonna hurt kids that way.
Speaker 2:They're just gonna like go into a school right, like dude, no one's gonna take the fucking time to do that dumb shit right also, if you're that fucking stupid to not see a razor blade, that it was inserted into an apple right.
Speaker 3:Your child deserves to get punished for that.
Speaker 1:You know it's gonna kill 90 of these kids fucking heart disease from the fucking candy right the candy, which is why we don't do it anymore, right yeah, straight up man and going back to like just money that people spend on halloween.
Speaker 1:I got smart about it. So at the end of last year, when everything was on sale, that's when I went and bought all the things that I planned on giving out this year. I got slimy hands and rings and tattoos and stickers Just all these things that are fun for kids to have, but it's not candy. I can buy it a year in advance and it's still going to be good. Yes, it's still consumerism, but I got it for 90% off. That makes it okay. It makes it okay. It makes me feel better about it.
Speaker 3:I tell myself that every time I swipe my card.
Speaker 1:It's okay. Oh my gosh, it's okay.
Speaker 3:It's a secondhand store, you can buy it.
Speaker 1:You're recycling.
Speaker 3:You can buy your fifth couch so that it reminds me of my neighbor, who is no longer my neighbor, and I'm very upset about it. Rip oh, shelby. But she was like not only the perfect neighbor, but doing halloween was one of my favorite things with her, because shelby didn't want to pass out the candy, like she wanted to get everything ready and like she would make like chili for us.
Speaker 3:But I love saying stupid shit to the kids so it was always so fun for me and I didn't have to spend the money on the candy. Yeah, that was always very enticing, for me too.
Speaker 1:Heck yeah.
Speaker 3:But that was always an absolute blast. Just that was always the best. And her daughter last year went as Wednesday Adams.
Speaker 1:Oh my gosh.
Speaker 3:Not only is she just the cutest, cutest little girl ever and her costume was so perfect, but she didn't smile in any of the pictures, and if someone was like, oh, what are you? She would just stare at you because she was so in character.
Speaker 1:That's awesome, because Wednesday doesn't smile, so cool.
Speaker 3:Oh, she's the coolest kid, oh my gosh, yeah, I love that it was so great.
Speaker 1:That's so cool. I do enjoy doing Halloween things with niece and nephew that live close to us. I think it's so much fun We've done because they do a lot of trunk or treat or trail or treat like at the parks where you can walk the little walkways, and we've done that a couple times and I always think that's fun to dress up and go do that. I don't put as much effort into that costume, which I feel like I've always put effort into my costumes, because I love this holiday. So much.
Speaker 2:You're better off going to the trunk of treat shit than the fucking neighborhoods now which is so stupid yeah, come on, guys, bring back the halloween spirit bring it back.
Speaker 3:Bring it back also what you guys were saying in irvington, where it was like a ton of kids like almost from the movies and no cars. Yeah, because that's what we see. A shit ton in our neighborhood is cars. Oh one, my mom didn't even go trick-or-treating with us. She was just like get the fuck out of here. Yeah, but over she would never. Yeah, even if we asked one. It costs gas money. We ain't got money for that, we ain't doing that. But she would be like absolutely not. You know what I?
Speaker 1:do remember one time it might have. We might have been freshmen, even a group of us all dressed up as like princesses, amazing, in plainfield. I remember going because I remember kaylee, your good friend, being there oh, she's my good friend too. Um, I remember all of us dressing up in dresses and I know it was all dresses that like we all had type of thing. Like I think I wore my mom's prom dress from high school. I love that dress, but I remember your mom taking us to a neighborhood and she was like okay, have fun, you're going to walk to this person's house when you're done, right, and she was like, okay, make sure, there was like six of us.
Speaker 1:It's that so my parents that's the only time I ever remember being drove anywhere was your mom took us to this neighborhood where, like, we all had gotten ready at your house and she's like, okay, here's this neighborhood, like and dropped us off, dropped us off left and then like we were expected to end up back at a different girl's house. Yeah, I do remember that. That's the only time I ever remember getting dropped off anywhere we're old enough, I mean old enough, that was fine yeah, but I look back as a child.
Speaker 3:Our parents, just left us yeah, like fend for yourself yep, good, yeah, that's how it should be. It is how it should be now, though I that's how we were raised. I can never do that. I'm such a hover. I'm like someone's gonna take you, something's gonna happen, but yeah yeah so last year travis got diagnosed with cancer in April.
Speaker 1:so by October it was kind of like I don't really want to put energy into hosting a party. And the year before that we had friends who got married on the Halloween weekend and it was like, well, this is too much stress if we have a party this year. So for the last two years we haven't had a party and I guess in my head I've just kind of accepted this year we're not going to a party. I've kind of just accepted like we aren't doing parties anymore. I say all that because I would normally already know exactly what I'm going to be for Halloween by now, 100%. And I'm kind of reverting back to when I was a little kid and I'm like, okay, what costumes can I come up with with things that I already have? Whereas it used to be because we were the ones having Halloween parties and I liked them so much. I was like, oh, we have to go buy an outfit, we have to look good together, and the three of us are such good friends that for a long time we've always done the group things.
Speaker 1:Like the Batman, catwoman and Harley Quinn. There was something else we did.
Speaker 2:We did. Did we do a Harry Potter themed one?
Speaker 1:No, we did.
Speaker 3:That was the theme of the party. That theme one. No, we did. That was the theme of the party. That was the theme of the party that year. And ryan and sydney I think we're on so good, yeah, oh my, I remember their peaky blinders. Oh, that was good too. Ryan had like borrowed eric's little pocket yeah, his pocket watch, and I swear, just like talk about details. Oh so good in costumes that like set it off.
Speaker 2:That was awesome. Good job Ryan. Good job, good team. Well, I was just thinking like fuck Halloween parties. I just love watching our bad B movies. That's probably just what we're going to do from now on. It's so low-key and awesome and fun.
Speaker 1:It's amazing.
Speaker 2:Low effort.
Speaker 1:I mean, that's what we did last year. We watched B movies that were horror movies. It was a lot of fun.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it was so much fun. I'm sure we'll do like an episode of all of our favorite B movies and stuff like that.
Speaker 1:Maybe on our actual Halloween episode not our pre-Halloween that we're in right now.
Speaker 3:We're in consumer. Yeah, this is consumer Halloween episode.
Speaker 2:That's what this is.
Speaker 1:But so if we were going to dress up this year, what is something that you'd?
Speaker 3:kind of want to be or do or okay. So I'm going to tell you in irvington, funny enough, yeah, there is this mural on the side of a building of larry bird. Oh my gosh, it's of him playing because he went to indiana state he was a sycamore and they like, depicted him and painted him with a sleeve of tattoos and maybe the next tattoos and he hated it that's hilarious.
Speaker 3:They might have even fixed it, but I thought it would be so funny to wear like a wig like him, wear a sycamore isu jersey and then have like fake tattoos. So I still really want to do the larry bird one, because I think that's still and it's fucking larry bird right, and people from irvington would recognize it too, even if that mural has been fixed so I think that I think this is the year I need to do it.
Speaker 1:I need to just finally. Yep, oh my gosh like a virgin.
Speaker 2:I don't go down on my knees.
Speaker 1:I wait till I'm married. I wait till I'm married.
Speaker 2:Shock them dead everybody. It's a great B movie.
Speaker 1:It's a great B movie.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I got no idea of fucking Halloween costumes.
Speaker 1:That's going to be all you guys. No see, I think about it all the time. So from a friend of mine she was getting rid of stuff and I don't know if travis fully realizes this, but I got a dumb and dumber couple's outfit, like one is a female size and one is a male size of the orange, oh yeah I have that. It's in the corner of our room.
Speaker 3:That's a really good one easy okay, I saw this recently and I can't remember what it's called, but it's another country. It's basically another like Halloween type thing, but they dress up as like oddly specific situations. So one of them was like girl that's always looking for her pen, so she's always literally she's playing a character where she's always looking for a pin, or a guy that's running after a bus. It was cool that's so fun. I think that would even be more fun than halloween.
Speaker 1:Like a oddly specific situation, it makes me think of your birthday party that we did, where we all dressed up as memes. That was so fun. Yeah, that was a great party. I loved that. That one was. That was a lot of fun. Ethan, our cousin, dressing up as salt bae oh my gosh sprinkling fuck yeah that was one for speaking of money and accessories.
Speaker 3:Oh, he didn't like the white shirt he was wearing, so we had to go out and buy him a white shirt right and he wanted one specific color and I didn't want to do it and he was like I just don't think the costume would look great. I was like, well, you're right, it won't, but so I've spent those and it was one like only for fucking halloween except it was your birthday costumes.
Speaker 1:So well, yeah, and this past year too, we had a mario party.
Speaker 2:Fuck we just like theme parties. It's fun yeah.
Speaker 1:Costumes are fun. We had a Mario party and Nephew dressed up as Luigi. I thought that was so cute. Well, what's funny is I didn't know that that was like a thing. But Nephew came to me and he was like I just came up with this. We should have a Mario party on March 10. And he explained it to me because it's M-A-R. Dot one zero and it looks like Mario and the more I was like, okay, yeah, let me look up Mario theme party. It's like a thing that people do. People have a Mario party on March 10th.
Speaker 3:He came to you acting like he created this Amazing.
Speaker 1:He came to me and he was like I've never, no one even said it to me. I just thought of it on my own and I was like no-transcript.
Speaker 3:So this is present day.
Speaker 1:Present day and it's accepted as an adult to go trick-or-treating. Would you rather pass out or go trick-or-treating?
Speaker 3:I think I'm still going passing out candy after doing it. Yeah, I love it, yeah, and I'm in the comfort of, you know, either my home or a close friend's home, and you dress up while you pass out candy. Right, thousand percent, okay, good, good, good, good, thousand percent yeah, I'm gonna go with that because we can watch.
Speaker 2:You know, fall break gonna have a good time, which is actually called the mutilator, but they originally called it fall break fun facts.
Speaker 1:Are you dressing up too trav?
Speaker 2:I'm definitely dressing up okay good, mainly as batman oh, I like that classic I it's actually a really hard, would you rather for me?
Speaker 1:I think if I get to pass out candy in irvington, I want to pass out candy because I get to just chill, but otherwise I actually really enjoy walking around because a lot of people will deck out their houses and do little.
Speaker 2:That's true.
Speaker 1:I just like to see the decorations. So I kind of think I might go with the trick or treating, not because I want the things, but because I want to see all the different styles that people did. That is fun.
Speaker 2:Yeah, all the holiday decoration.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I like seeing the way people do different things and I just remember seeing some houses where they would kind of make it a little mini haunted house, like on their front porch. I think those are so amazing. Yeah, I enjoy those things. I like haunted houses. So.
Speaker 3:Okay, I can't believe that I didn't think of this earlier. But trick or treating. I want to say I was in fourth grade. We went inside the house, like you want to say, I was in fourth grade. We went inside the house like you knock on the door and they're like hey, my grandpa's sick and he really wants to be part of it. As a group we walked into this home, oh, went to this man. That was basically an hospice and I looked back and didn't think anything of it. That's kind of weird. That's weird. It's a weird thing to do dude, that's so weird.
Speaker 2:They say that because I have a similar one pretty much like that, like the old grandpa on the couch fucking hey, kids, get some candy scary just going inside this dude's house oh my gosh, oh yeah oh gosh guys, but I mean nope, didn't do that this was the 90s, okay, so everything was open for fucking.
Speaker 1:Grasp makes me think of the movie. Uh, black phone. We're like, yeah, he seems like he's a really nice guy.
Speaker 2:You're just helping him out.
Speaker 1:It was also like 80s, 90s, nope, now you're going to die.
Speaker 3:Yeah, that was a really good movie. It was a good movie, that movie was awesome.
Speaker 1:I would like to watch it.
Speaker 2:Ethan Hawke Such a good actor.
Speaker 1:So good.
Speaker 2:I think that's pretty much going to do it for us guys, our next episode. I kind of want to talk about music and shows and I want to get into how the scene was back in the day.
Speaker 1:Well, heck yeah, after we finish recording today, we're all going to go to the Hi-Fi over in Fountain Square to see Haste the Day. So check them out. That's what they sound like, pretty much.
Speaker 2:One of the best local bands in my opinion.
Speaker 3:They're from carmel right, yeah, yeah, they're local it's awesome, yeah, super cool.
Speaker 1:I'm very excited. Support your locals. We have a friend who hosts a local music event every year and it's on august 31st. It's called electric boys. We'll put a link in case you want to buy tickets to that, because it's just another way to support locals. Support the locals support it.
