Do we.

When he was in.

In the White House, do we think there was a spray, like a, you know, a tanning bed in the White House?

And do we think there was one prior?

Because I think if any of the president's prior had younger daughters, Obama was tanning a bunch.

I don't think Obama was.

Why not?

Look at my, like, really, really bad facial hair.

I didn't want to shave my whole beard, so I just went, like, left this long for the little goatee that he has.

Yeah, Yeah.

I didn't want to shave my beard at all.

So.

I didn't.

Because the last time you talked me into shaving for a Halloween costume, I left everything.

But, like, I.

I just left the mustache.

So I shaved everything except for the mustache.

And then we didn't even get to do the Halloween contest at the party.

And we were gonna do Patrick Swayze and we're gonna do the Chippendales dancers.

We had all the costumes.

Oh, that's right.

And I shaved.

And then I just had to fucking have a mustache.

You don't got to be nervous around me, lady.

Walking alone down my street at night.

You know, I just look like a fucking pervert for like, for like a month, like, because I was like, dude, what do I do?

Do I just fucking shave off the mustache or do I let it catch up?

And I let it caught up, and that was not the movement.

But yeah, like, you like this bald cap?

No, I hate it.

It's pretty realistic.

Yeah.

It's not realistic.

You're usually supposed to put, like, makeup to match the skin tone.

I.

I don't know what skin tone this is.

I think it's just called death.

And, like, this is how pale you get when, you know you're croaking.

That's.

That's scrotum color, brother.

That's the kind of skin that doesn't ever see the light of day.

I can't flatten it.

Yeah.

Okay, so this.

I ordered two wigs.

Okay.

I'm not gonna put the other one on because that one's nicely folded.

Like, but it folded weird.

And the hair was all.

I couldn't fix it.

So this is what.

This is the one that came with the shirt.

I think you're like a McGruber without the bomb.

Yeah, let's go with that.

Yeah.

You're probably a wrestler.

I mean, you could say you're Jeff Hardy.

Yeah, yeah.

I could be any of them.

Yeah.

I don't know why you were so hell bent at me.

We were like, let's Both be pro wrestlers.

And I was like, I don't watch.

Wrestling because I knew I was already going to be a wrestler for Halloween.

So I was like, oh, like, you know.

Yeah.

And work out like this.

Like, I'm going to, like, two Halloween parties this weekend, and I'm not gonna be this anywhere else.

I hate the way that this is tickling my throat.

Like, I.

I have no dedication to the art of Halloween.

I want to be honest with you guys.

Like, this.

This podcast will be, like, the testament to, like, oh, he kind of cares about Halloween.

Like, he wore the wig the whole time.

And, like, that's even in question right now.

So, like, I don't know.

Honestly, I.

Hot take.

I think Halloween's number two out of holidays.

Really?

Oh, I don't know.

But Thanksgiving's got football.

No, I think it.

It's way better.

What's your number one?

Gotta be.

Gotta be Christmas.

Gotta be.

Christmas is my number one.

But Fourth of July is like, Fourth of July and Halloween might be battling for second place.

Fourth of July.

Okay, I could see that.

Fourth of July and St.

Patty's Day are usually my number two.

When people ask.

You didn't think about St.

Patty's Day because he moved to Nashville and you got soft?

No, I also just think, same Pat.

Like, people that say St.

Patty's is my favorite holiday.

It's just like, all right, you're secretly.

You're secretly still an alcoholic, and that's okay.

So that's my.

I mean, but that's why it's not my favorite.

It's my second favorite.

And also, why do you like Fourth of July?

Because you're crushing light beers and you're.

You're eating hot dogs.

So, like, what are you doing on St.

Patty's Day?

That's different.

You're crushing beers and not eating hot dogs.

That's the only difference.

Celebrating America, baby.

That's what I'm saying.

So.

Okay.

But there, you could argue that you're also an alcoholic if you say the Fourth of July is one of your favorite holidays.

Yeah, mine too.

I.

No, I'm just a patriot.

Okay, sure, whatever.

And you're just.

You're just someone that likes to drop kick Murphy's every now and then.

Yeah, I am a big fan of.

Yeah.

St.

Patty's Day.

And I do.

I mean, I do really like Fourth of July.

I don't want people to think I'm not a supporter of this country, but I do really like St.

Patty's Day.

I just like the color green, though.

No, yeah, it's a great time.

And, like, in the city of Chicago, too, specifically, it's like.

It's like a big thing.

You know what I mean?

Like, there's, like, two weeks.

They, like, we dye the river green a week before and everything.

But I feel like we're getting away from the fact that this is our Halloween special.

No, I mean, we're talking about.

Yeah, yeah.

Patrick's Day is cool, right?

We're talking about where Halloween is in, like, you know, our page, I think.

So it would fall, like, third for.

Me, but I don't even know if.

I don't think you're telling the truth, because based on this costume that.

Did you.

Did you cut the sleeves off of that flannel yourself, or did you buy it like that?

Bought it, brother.

Okay.

Yeah, I think.

Did you sew that yourself?

I mean, I bought this.

This vest was $80.

Oh, yeah.

This was not $80.

And this.

I mean, this ball cap was 75.

Really?

No, I think it was 12.

Yeah.

Yeah, I bet it was.

I.

I bought two wigs, probably totaling about $20 altogether.

And then I bought the flannel, which.

And the sunglasses, which was, like.

Probably another, like, 15 to $20.

So I'm about $40 in on this costume.

If you.

I'm not even using some of that.

If you bring up the other wig again, you have to wear it.

No, I'm not doing that.

Because it's so far away.

Y'all long.

Like, you would be sitting here for so long.

We are not doing that.

They.

They look identical, too.

I thought that the other one was going to look better, but they looked identical.

And I was like, well, me.

I guess I just have two shitty wigs now that I'm probably never going to use again because I don't like the way it tickles my throat.

It's really pissing me off.

I'm not like, I'm gonna just grab his scissors and cut it.

You won't.

You want me to.

I know, because it's gonna get everywhere, and then I'm gonna have to.

I'm gonna have to clean it up.

Okay.

Well, I mean, Happy Halloween.

Happy Halloween, bud.

Did you like you.

When did you stop going.

Stop going trick or treating?

Let's see.

Five years ago.

Six.

Six years ago.

I was drunk for my last Halloween, so I had to be, like, 20.

21.

You really went trick or treating at 21?

It was.

I was probably 20 then at still.

I probably went to the bars at 21.

Yeah, you probably did.

You Went trick or treating at 20?

Yeah.

What about, like, we, like, crushed a few.

Yeah.

I mean, it was hit or miss the last few years with whether or not I.

Actually, it might have been 19, because 20.

I think I just handed out candy, but I got in costume to fully hand out candy at my parents because I don't get trick or treaters here because there's, like a.

There's like, a long walkway to get to the house, and I don't want to be like, come here, kids.

Come into this.

Come through this little skinny alley, poorly.

Lit alley, and I'll give you some candy.

Like, that's, like, the number one.

Like.

Like, you're.

You're gonna get a case.

You're gonna.

Someone's gonna complain.

So you trick or treated in high school?

Yeah.

Did you not?

No.

What?

No, That's.

Though.

I haven't trick or treated since.

Like, you too?

What the hell?

I stopped trick or treating, like, 13.

Yeah, because you're no fun, dude.

Like, if.

If you had to rate me, like, what did you just spend all this money on this costume for what?

For no reason.

And you're what, like, no Halloween party?

Halloween party?

Yeah, and I went to those in high school, too, but it never was on, like, a Thursday or a Tuesday or a Monday.

You know what I mean?

Like, that's when it usually falls.

So I was like, you know what?

Like, I can.

I can go to Halloween parties, and I could get some free candy.

I wasn't gonna turn down free candy.

I don't know.

I don't.

Maybe we trick or treated freshman year, but, like, I don't think.

Yeah, freshman.

I don't.

Maybe I didn't go senior year.

I could have swore I did, but I had a lot of little cousins, too, so, like, at some point, I just went with my.

My cousins, and then they.

Their kids.

You know what I mean?

Like, we would all get together at one house, and I would just go with.

And then I would just get drunk in a Halloween costume.

Well, I guess they trick or treated, but sometimes I would walk up and be like, trick or treat, because I'd want a snack, you know?

Well, I'm like, something's got to soak up this alcohol.

There is a.

There's one house when I was younger that they would give out hot dogs.

That's good.

Well, there was one guy who collected comic books, and he would let you pick out a comic book.

Oh, that's cool.

If you let him take you in the basement, it was cool.

I'm just kidding.

He didn't do that.

He was really cool.

He.

I, I got like a, like a second edition comic book from that.

So, like, it was, you know, pretty cool.

Second edition, like X Men.

It's at my parents house in a box of like, like baseball cards and comic books.

Playboys and probably Playboys.

Yeah, I was just gonna say Playboys.

And then I have all those Playboys that you left me when you moved.

That was.

That was fun.

You should still put them in those, like those little mailboxes around the neighborhoods where kids get the free bucks.

Oh, he's just like a Playboy.

Just the one that, like, I'm like, well, it's bush.

It was classy.

So the biggest part of Halloween would be getting into the spirit of Halloween.

And one way that I love to get in the spirit of Halloween is through watching Halloween movies.

How about you, Michael?

Yeah, not a big movie guy, but around, you know, the Day of the Dead, which is technically Cinco de Mayo, so, like.

Yeah, it's not the Day of the Dead.

The day of the Day of the Dead with candy, definitely.

You know, Halloween comes on.

It's like, okay, I'll check it out.

Hocus pocus.

Hocus pocus, too.

But, yeah, for sure.

You know, I.

I dive in.

So what would you say are your top five Halloween movies?

Oh, so this is.

All right, so we're gonna act like we're just coming up with it.

And we didn't talk about, like, hey, we should talk about our top five movies and, like, rank them.

I didn't think that that was important, but I'm glad you thought context was important.

Well, you're just like, all right, so what are your top five?

And it's like, we already talked about this, Jackson.

We were going to talk about it on the podcast, but are we, you know, are we going to play a game with it or we're just going to casually be like, oh, yeah, we definitely didn't plan this before the episode.

We just came here to list our top five movies.

Well, I was going to do that one, but then I guess we're.

Yeah, we fucking planned it.

Sorry.

We put a little effort into this one.

All right, you go first.

Okay.

I'm looking at the board in the kitchen.

It's spelled Betelgeuse, but it's pronounced Beetlejuice.

So I'm going to assume that you haven't even seen that one.

No, Beetlejuice is a great movie.

What do you mean?

Oh, well, just the way you.

Well, just because the way it's written Is.

Is.

You know, there's.

Am I?

It was spelled wrong on your board.

Okay, yeah, it is two E's.

Yes.

I was like, what are you talking about?

That's my number five.

Anyways, that's your number five.

All right, well, my number five would have to be Hubie Halloween, the Adam Sandler movie.

Really?

Okay.

I'm a big.

I'm a big fan of the Sandman.

What can I say?

I mean, yeah, I am, too.

Like, of course.

But honestly, funny enough, the sheriff in that movie wears the same wig and the glasses, so, like, I'm kind of him, too, but.

Yeah.

All right, all right.

What's your number four?

You brought up Adam Sandler with little.

Like, little dicky count.

It's not.

No, it's not my number four, but I would pick that over Hubie Halloween for Halloween.

Number four is Halloween Class Halloween.

Like the Halloween movie.

Like that.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yep.

My number four is probably Halloween town one.

Okay, you said probably.

So is it number four or.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

It's Halloween town number one.

Okay.

Okay.

For number three.

This is one as a kid I would watch religiously on Halloween.

Probably haven't seen in, you know, a couple years, but it's still my number three for the emotional support it kind of gives me every year.

Freddy versus Jason.

That's a good one.

That's a good one.

My number three is the original Scream movie.

Okay.

Honestly, I grew up watching that.

Yeah.

That was like, every time, like, my cousins would come over, we would go trick or treating, we would come home, and we'd watch Scream or even, like, like, randomly throughout the year.

That was just, like, our, like, favorite movie.

And then.

Yeah, that was just.

That was just like, that.

That one's, like, nostalgic for me, probably the way Freddy versus Jason is for you.

That's why I got my number three.

Got you.

I don't think I've seen it, to be honest.

Oh, that's a good one.

That's all.

Like, all of them are good because they almost kind of parody slasher movies.

Like, they're funny to some extent, whereas, like, the Halloweens and that of the realm, I think, tend to end up being, like, an actual slasher movie where this was, like, this kind of meta.

Where they talk about, like.

Well, in slasher movies, like, you know, if you lose your virginity, you die first.

Like, you're more susceptible to the killer if you've lost your virgin.

So, like, that's, like, the whole plot of the first Scream.

So, okay, number two.

Hocus pocus I like.

I like the backup witches.

They're my favorite.

I don't know their names.

Clearly.

It's my favorite number two movie, but definitely, definitely has made me giggle.

I will say that was my number one.

Oh, okay.

And you also took my number two.

That was the original Halloween.

So my backup for number two is the scary movie.

Original movie.

Oh, okay.

My number one is Scary Movie three.

Is that the one with Charlie Sheen?

No, it's the one with the butler and the hand.

That's the second one.

Yeah.

100.

Wait, is.

It's the one with Eminem or.

And they make fun of us.

They make fun of signs.

That's three.

Okay.

But the one with the butler is number two.

Gotcha.

Okay.

Still.

Yeah.

Scary movie three.

Yeah, for sure.

Yeah.

What's your number one?

That was it.

Oh, yeah.

That was your number one.

Okay.

My number one is Evil Dead 2.

No idea what that is with Bruce Campbell.

Like, they had a spin off series, Ash vs Evil Dead.

They had.

Their third movie was army of Darkness.

This is literally him.

This is from army of Darkness.

But I have a prayer candle with him and he has.

Gets his hand cut off and then fashion a thing so it just bolts onto his hand, but it's a chainsaw.

What.

And what's that one called?

That was called Evil Dead 2.

Well, Evil Dead, the first one.

So the reason I like the second one better is they did Evil Dead 1, the original, with a different studio, and then they did evil dead 2 with it and the rest of them with a different studio.

I believe this is it.

I believe this is why they did it.

Oh, I know.

It was something along these lines.

And they had.

They did.

They wouldn't give him the rights to switch over Evil Dead 1.

So for Evil Dead 2, they remade Evil Dead 1.

And he fixed the things that the studio interfered with on the first one to make his own version of it.

So That's Evil Dead 2 is Evil Dead War.

It's the exact same movie, just better.

Interesting.

Yeah.

So I like that.

I like that.

That's a big reason why I picked it was because it has that interesting, like, you know, backstory behind it.

Because I.

I didn't know that when I first got into those movies.

I like, watched Evil Dead 1 and then I watched Evil Dead 2 because it's the next one in the series.

And I was like, that's the same movie.

I just watched the same movie twice.

I was like, the second one was obviously better, but yeah, so there's that.

And then they did army of Darkness.

And that's the third movie.

Like, they.

They kept going.

I think they.

I think they remake them every couple years, but.

But I don't think he's in it like, Bruce Campbell, so.

Alrighty.

That was our top five list.

I had to get a new office chair this week.

That sucked.

I.

Because you have to assemble them, and it's the worst.

And I thought I was getting really sick last night.

Like, I took a bunch of, like, cold medicine last night when I was going to bed.

I thought it was either going to kill me or make me better, and either one would have been better.

Like, I had, like, a body ache, low fever.

I was like.

Like, no, I was congested.

I, like, couldn't.

And it, like, the temperature had dropped, like, 20 degrees from, like, morning to night.

And I was like.

I'm like, it's killing me.

And I'm putting together this chair.

And, like, when you have body and you're trying to do something, it feels like your arms like a noodle.

And it's like taking all my might to just ch.

Tightening screws.

And I was like, please, God.

Like, just like.

Yeah.

I was like, kill me or help this, like, go faster because I am dying right now.

Why would you.

Why would you pick then to.

Well, because I, like, my chair was broken.

I haven't been able to use my office for a couple days.

I mean, I guess I could have used a different chair, but I didn't want to.

So I've been, like, working from, like, the kitchen.

So I was like, instead of dragging a kitchen chair all the way up here, I might as well just.

Yeah.

You know, work at the kitchen table anyway.

How embarrassing.

Each year there's like, a cycle of, like, Halloween costumes that come in and out of popularity.

What do you think are, like, some that we're gonna see this year that we haven't seen in other years?

Well, I guess, like, just, like, what do you think is going to be popular this year?

I mean, even if it was popular last year.

Well, it's election year, so clearly there's going to be a lot of Biden, Kamala, and Trump's.

It's just to the, you know, to the level of extremes that people want to take them is where I'm excited to see that creativity.

I love when I see someone get, like, a legit spray tan to do Trump.

I had a buddy in high school, so our senior year was the.

So it was the year that he was running.

And we.

I have a buddy who did.

Who went his Trump.

He had a, like a black suit, like, kind of oversized, you know, a long red tie.

And he had like a.

He had the hair.

And then he went and got like a legit spray tan.

But he was like, he went to like, the cheapest place to get a spray tan so it would like, come out the oranges.

Like, he wanted it to not be good quality.

And I actually knew someone who was working at the, like, one of the tanning salons around town.

And then she said we had.

They had five people come in that year asking for like a Trump spray tan.

And she goes, no, we, like, it's not gonna look orange.

Like, we have like, high quality spray tans here.

And like, it's not.

Yeah, it's like.

And they were like, go buy like, cheap self tanner to do this.

You know, like, like, don't.

Don't get like a legit spray.

So but like, this one dude went and he was like, he orange for like two weeks.

Like, past the point of it being like, funny.

Yeah.

Where you're like, that's kind of sad.

You know what I mean?

Like, he's just gonna be orange for a little while.

Honest question.

Make.

Do we.

When he was in.

In the White House, do we think there was a spray, like a, you know, a tanning bed in the White House, and do we think there was one prior?

Because I think if any of the president's prior had younger, Obama was tanning a bunch.

I don't think Obama was.

Why not?

Look, he just looks like someone that doesn't.

I'm curious.

I'm curious why you think.

Yeah.

You know, George W.

Is probably in there.

Yeah.

George W.

Barbara.

You should have been in for Halloween.

I should have been.

Yeah.

Holy.

What about you?

I know my favorite video ever is he's like, we will not stand for terrorism.

He's like, now watch this drive.

And he turns around, he just drives a bomb right to the green.

Like, that's a badass move.

Or like when they're throwing the shoes at him and he's like, oh, miss me?

I think it was just one, but yeah, that was what I think.

They just threw one shoe.

No, they threw two shoes because he ducked and then another one came and he ducked again.

He goes, I miss me.

Speaking of people from the south.

So I feel like my Halloween characters from the south.

And I feel like if you had a catchphrase, it would be, it's not every day you have a baby with the woman you love.

Sometimes you have a baby with the woman you hate, and I feel like that's this.

I mean, if that's that, then who are you making a baby with?

You know she got longer hair than you.

Yeah.

I believe it.

She smokes.

She smokes palm oil while we're doing it.

She always asks out my mouth.

I don't like that.

I don't think she can help it, though.

I think another costume that you're gonna see, but.

Well, you'll always see cat ears.

Cat ears will never go out of dial because that's the lazy man's.

Well, a woman usually.

Very, very rarely do I see a man with cat ears.

Yeah, I was just thinking about that too.

I don't think I've not.

Nope.

Yeah, I like the.

The combined ones.

Oh, one was at a Halloween party last year.

Maybe it was the year before.

Thought I saw.

Thought I saw Tina walk in from Bob's Burgers.

Oh.

Like, oh, Tina, like, you look amazing.

She goes, I'm Dora.

They're similar, though.

I could see they are.

They're like, for what they're wearing and their colors and the hair and, like, if you just put that on any person, I think the only giveaway is that she's wearing a backpack.

But I don't.

I thought, like, it wasn't like a real backpack.

It was like a leather backpack.

The other thing I think we're going to see a lot of this year is P.

Diddy jokes with the baby oil.

Oh, maybe just like, people walking around in baby oil or not in baby.

As baby oil.

I don't know if you've ever gotten baby oil on your hands, but if someone goes drenched in baby oil to, like, do that, I'm like, fucking kudos.

Like, they should win because you know how long that takes to come on.

Yeah.

Like baby oil.

No, I mean, I don't know how much it would.

How long it would take to come off of your entire body, but I know if you get a little on your hands, it'll.

It's so hard.

I'm like.

I feel like you're just constantly scrubbing until.

Until your hands are raw.

Why?

How much?

Is this something we should get into?

How many bottles of baby oil did.

They find out his house or wasn't it thousands?

Yeah.

And his manager or whatever was like, yeah, you know, he shops at Costco.

I don't.

I'm sorry, I just don't see one of the top.

One of the top searches.

I typed in how much baby oil it was like, was found.

And I like, yeah, it was found in P.

Diddy case.

Let's see.

Sean, did he comes.

New lawsuit, possession of baby oil laced.

Oh, a baby oil laced with date rape drugs.

That's.

Why was that.

Wait, I didn't know it was laced with it.

How does that work?

I don't know.

Probably the way, like, acid works.

Like how I can, like, soak in through your blood or your skin, getting your bloodstream.

I don't know.

I'm not a scientist.

I decided to start a podcast.

I guess I should have gone to school.

Anyways.

How many?

How many?

Well, this is kind of depressing.

It's all about bottles.

Was it?

I don't know.

I don't even really want to keep scrolling.

I feel like I'm getting on a list now.

Yeah, they're like, man, why don't you.

Google top top Halloween costumes of, like, 20, 25 and just see what the Internet has, because I'm guessing there's probably going to be a good amount of, like, Olympians, like, people being the Olympic guy that.

Oh, the spun around on the horse.

Oh, I was singing the Kangaroo, like, dancer.

Oh, yeah, that one too.

Yeah, I wrote that down.

That's a good one.

Oh, you prepared.

Good job.

Yeah, I didn't know if we were going to do top five for that, so my number five was cat ears, because it's always there.

So.

Okay.

You were such a lazy Halloween.

Well, I like Path of least Resistance because you're going to be out in it all night.

Like, I don't want to be out in something sleeveless.

Like, what would you.

I don't know.

Well, plus, the majority of the things I like are not wrestlers or anything like that.

You know what I mean?

Like, I'm not dumb as.

I mean, Stone cold Steve Austin is an icon.

It's not like I'm over here worshiping every morning.

I haven't watched wrestling in a minute.

I used to.

But my point is, like, all my stuff, like, I.

I watch comedies.

Huge fan of Sandler.

I went as Chris Farley the year before that.

I did what you just.

Because in my.

In my.

Yeah, but you need to see my Chris Farley because it was perfect.

Okay.

Like, did you do your hair at all?

What'd you do?

Yeah.

Okay, hold on.

Let me find it for you.

Chris Farley.

Last year I was Limu Emu and Doug.

I mean, I wasn't both of them.

I was just Doug.

Second year in a row, I had to shave my face down to a Mustache.

And it seems like every year in Halloween, I always end up shaving or trimming my face.

Yeah, you do, because you were like.

I was like Brian the year before, which was just buying a.

Like, let me see if I can share this.

Some Carhartt.

All right, here is me as Chris Farley.

Oh, the wrong one.

Wrong one.

I find this.

It's going through your whole Facebook photo.

There's my other one.

So this is.

I was Matt Foley.

Okay, that's good.

That looks good.

It was one of.

Yeah, like.

Like last year.

I will say I was kind of lazy with it because I went with path of least resistance.

I wanted to wear basketball shorts, and it was super last minute.

Threw a Yankees hat on, and I went as.

But then I did the impression all night long.

You know what I mean?

Like, I committed in that way to my casting where I was just like, shampoo is better.

Like, and it's like.

No, conditional is better.

It makes the hair silky and smooth.

That's pretty good.

So, yeah, so I did that all night.

And I actually.

I wasn't drinking at that point.

I was doing sober October.

So I did.

I did break because I had friends in town.

So, like, I had a few drinks before we left, but once we were out, I didn't drink until the last bar we went to.

So I drank Diet Coke at, like, six or seven bars.

And then I finally was like, okay, we're just staying here, and then we're ubering home.

I had, like, six Modelas at that last bar.

Oh, good old Modelos.

Yeah, those were good.

I mean, it was at Shakers.

Love that place.

Oh, wow.

Yeah, that was fun.

So we did, like, Halloween karaoke.

Oh, the Monster Mash is the best Halloween song.

And there's no.

No.

What's the word?

Argument.

Contester.

Nothing close to it.

Yeah, yeah, I like the Monster Mash.

But, you know, the crazy thing is, is there is no song that is the Monster Mash.

The Monster Mash song is about people listening to the Monster Mash.

So the song Monster Mash is about people listening to a song called Monster Mash.

So the song that we know as Monster Mash is not actually the Monster Mash.

You get what I'm saying?

One more time.

So the song that we know as the Monster Mash is about people listening to a song called the Monster Mash.

So the song we're listening to is talking about people listening to that and their experience and what they're doing, but it doesn't actually tell us what the actual Monster Mash is.

It just tells us that it was a graveyard smash.

This is the mash.

It is a monster mash.

The monster mash.

It was a great graveyard smash.

So you know what I'm saying?

You know what I mean?

Isn't that kind of weird?

Yeah.

So we actually don't have a monster mash.

So the monster mash doesn't exist.

Exactly.

Everything just keeps getting worse this year.

Speaking.

Oh, go ahead.

No, no, you go.

No, I was just saying, speaking of monsters, would you rather be stuck in a room with an ogre or Sasquatch?

Could the ogre speak?

Yeah.

Does.

Does the Sasquatch speak?

Yeah.

I feel like the ogre would speak more.

You know what I mean?

But I also feel like the Sasquatch would be pretty cool.

You're trying to have a conversation with one of these.

Well, if I'm stuck in a room with them, what am I gonna do?

You know?

I love to talk.

So, like, hear me out, hear me out, hear me out.

So, like, is someone.

We're sitting there, and then I pull out just something that I.

I rolled up, and I go, hey, I think the Sasquatch would be cool.

He'd be like, yeah, man.

They don't.

Hang on.

He goes, yeah, man.

They don't even.

Some people don't even think I'm real.

He's like.

He's like, can you imagine how hard it is to be?

He's like, yeah.

He's like, dude, like, just going to the grocery store is hard.

Like, you know what I mean?

Like, I don't even know what kind of trials he.

And tribulations he has.

So it'd be cool to, like, learn about that.

Like, be like, how have you evaded?

Like.

And he goes, every now and then, like, someone gets lucky, gets a picture of me.

He's like.

And then everyone else is like, that's definitely not him.

And he's like, and they always find my footprints.

And people are like, that's definitely.

There could be anything in my.

Yeah.

He's like, yeah.

And he's like, I'm so glad that there's so many conspiracy deniers out there.

He's like, because they would have caught on years ago, but, like, the ogre.

I'm like, I don't know.

I don't know what I would even say to him.

Like, I'm like, is it anything like the movie Shrek?

Like, anything at all?

You'd be like.

Like, it's like, kind of like the first one.

Like.

Like, after that, they got creative and in the morning, I'm making waffles.

Waffles.

Beautiful movie.

What about you?

What would you.

Who would you rather get stuck with?

Probably Sasquatch.

Just.

That's what I'm saying.

Yeah.

Because.

But when I brought it up, I was looking at it as, like, a survival situation.

Like, which one?

Do you think you could defend yourself better?

I would feel I would probably try to reason with them, but I guess I could defend myself better against an ogre, I guess, because you gotta think, like, how tall is Sasquatch?

I mean, I would say both Sasquatch and ogre gotta be seven, eight feet.

Yeah.

But okay, I guess Ogre, then.

If I had to fight it, I.

Feel like an ogre would, like, run out of breath.

Yeah.

Like, they're not in as good a shape.

It doesn't have to.

It probably hibernates.

Probably, like, trip over itself every now and then.

Yeah.

It's like a little clumsy.

Yeah.

Ogre.

I'd fight the ogre.

I wouldn't want to because I love the movie Shrek.

It's so good.

God, such a good movie.

It is so good.

One of the best.

So when you went trick or treating all those years ago, since you're so old and grown up.

Clearly.

Yeah.

And what.

What was your favorite thing?

What was it?

What was, like, the best candy you ever.

You never get it for yourself, but you would see it when you saw it in your bag.

You're like, this is like the most underrated candy and more people.

Oh, my God.

And, like, if I had to rank, like, a top five of underrated candy.

Like, yeah, if you had to.

No one's asking you to, but if you had to.

You know what?

It.

Let's.

Let's rank them a top five.

That's a good idea.

That's crazy.

Wow.

Oh, wow.

That's so cool.

On the spot.

Yeah.

I'll just come up with the top five.

Like, my most underrated candies that I think more people should have respect for.

Yeah.

Okay.

Okay.

We'll do the same thing.

We'll go with fives.

I'll start, work our way down.

Again, not planned.

This is just.

We're just gonna follow what we did last time, which was, again, not planned, so.

Right.

You definitely.

Wait, do you want me to start off this time or you want to start off this time?

No, you started last time, so I think.

I thought you started last time.

Oh, I.

I didn't.

Because I said Bettel.

Beetlejuice.

Yep.

So it's your turn.

I would say My number five would be off the top of my head.

Swedish fish.

Oh, okay.

For like, that.

Underrated.

Underrated.

Yeah.

This is underrated.

We'll have honorable mentions of, like, our faves after this, but underrated?

I'm not gonna lie.

I do like Swedish fish.

So in my world, I don't think I.

I agree with you in the underrated department.

I definitely think, like, people don't buy.

Like, it's not one.

You know, you're on a road trip, you're like, immediately, Swedish fish.

No one really does that.

But, you know, you see it hanging.

It's not in the aisle.

It's on the end cap of the aisle.

And you're just like, oh.

So, like, when you get that little tiny bag of Swedish fish in your.

In your trick or treating bag, you're like, oh, my God.

Like, I haven't had these in forever, and I don't buy them.

I don't go out of my way for them.

Nope.

All right, good choice.

Good choice.

My number five, Cow Tales.

Oh, that's a good one.

And I haven't had that in a while.

I might run over to the gas station after this and get a cow tail.

Just get in the mood, you know what I mean?

Maybe watch a scary movie.

They're good.

There's Oreo flavored ones, which I had too.

It was fine.

But, like, the original is where it's at.

My number four would be Smarties.

Oh, it's been.

It's been a while.

It's been a minute.

Yeah.

Wait a minute.

Our Smarties, a little, like, about yay big, colorful.

Up.

And they twist them up.

It's like a rainbow.

Wow, that's.

I.

Isn't that such a throwback?

It is.

I've had, like, a love hate relationship with those things because I would eat so many at a time.

And, like, I would.

My body would need.

Like, you can just feel your teeth, like.

Yeah, I guess, disintegrating.

Yeah, but no, but it's like you can feel a layer of your teeth.

Like, there's another layer of just sugar encasing your teeth.

And, like, it gets in your molar, like.

Yeah, I think that's why I like it.

But, like, I would just.

I would.

The way I would eat it, I would get two of them, right?

And I would.

One whole one in my.

And just dust in my mouth, right?

And that's how I'd eat the first one.

Then the other ones, I would enjoy each flavor individually.

So one or two, you're just like, all right, I Need.

I need to get, like, the, you know, the satisfaction.

I'm gonna savor it.

Yeah.

Yeah, I'm gonna savor it.

The first one, I'm like, I'm gonna it up.

Okay.

And then.

Okay.

So that was my number four.

What was your number four?

Wait.

Oh, yeah.

You went first.

My number four is Peanut Butter Snickers.

I wish I was more taken back, but I could hear you talking in the background before when we were.

Even though this is completely off the cuff and completely.

Yeah, yeah, I made this up.

I mean.

Yeah.

Which is making.

I mean, I didn't make it up, but I kept notes of my brain of the most five underrated candies just now in this moment as we decided to talk about.

But number four.

Yeah.

Easily Peanut Butter Snickers.

Probably one of my top five candies of just all.

It is a good one.

Any.

Any day.

You know, I ate so many of those because we would go on road trips for my sister's travel softball.

So we would go on, like, family road trips to see her play and stuff.

And we would always bring those peanut butter stuff.

And, like, when those first came out, like, every single year that my.

That, you know, Halloween would come around, my mom would get a bag of just those.

And, like, my dad and I could go through them so quick, like, the entire.

She would have to hide them because I'm like, they're so easy.

They're so.

They're little squares.

Yeah.

Oh, my gosh.

And of course, you, you know, you look at the bag first of all, the yellow, like, it's beautiful.

But you see, like, oh, peanut butter.

Oh.

Then, like, it can't.

It's not as bad for me because it has a little protein in it, you know, with the peanut butter.

So I could, you know, I could probably eat four of these.

And it's just, you know, I'm, you know, getting that.

That good juju.

And it's not just a bad candy.

Like, you know, that goes through my head, which is so not the case.

But that's okay.

Maybe this already.

Are you ready for my number three?

Number three, My Lord.

Big number three, My Lord.

Number three mini M M's.

Wow, that's weird.

That's weird.

Was that number three?

No.

I just don't think I've ever met someone that said mini M M's is, like, atop anything of mine, but this is underrated.

Yeah, I get it.

Because, like, it is fun just throwing a lot of them in your mouth and they just.

The whole tube, dude, I gotta get two Tubes.

This is the same thing with Smarties.

Just.

You can just fill up my cheeks like a chipmunk with.

With M M's.

And then just take that chocolatey goodness and eat it and then the next one, you know, I like to eat them.

Yeah, that's.

It's good.

Yeah.

Okay.

No, I mean, I don't think you're wrong necessarily.

It's just one I did not see coming whatsoever.

No, right.

I try.

That's what I'm trying to do here, is to catch you off guard.

Stone cold.

What?

All right, number three for me, High chews.

I don't think I've ever had one.

Oh, my God, they're so good.

Yeah, I've never had.

I have nothing to add to that.

Sorry.

All right, number two, white Kit Kats.

Okay.

I like those, too.

I like the white ones.

Yeah?

Yep.

I like them because it switches it up.

I mean, I love Kit Kats.

That's.

Kit Kats are, like, top five of all time, you know?

Okay.

They might even be the number one.

I don't know.

I just like them.

No, that's not true.

That's not true.

Okay, what is your number two?

One of my top two candies of all time, I think is underrated.

Okay.

And it's Twizzlers.

Yeah, totally underrated because I.

I don't even really like them that much.

Well, which one, Strawberry or cherry?

The regular ones.

I mean, like the regular, traditional Twizzlers.

But don't get me wrong, those little baby ones that you can peel, like the cherry ones.

Oh, my.

I don't like the cherry ones.

I don't like the cherry, but I like the strawberry ones.

Whatever, dude.

Okay, that's fine.

And then my number one candy of all time, Reese's Sticks.

Do they still make those?

Yeah, I had one.

Really?

Oh, yeah, brother.

Yeah.

That is the only thing that beats out Kit Kats in my mind.

I.

I mean, it's.

You get that crunch, you know?

So it's like kind of the same thing.

Yeah, yeah, it's.

But it's more peanut buttery.

Right?

Wow.

Okay.

It is.

I'm.

Because I had some deep cuts in there, didn't I?

Aren't you surprised by all mine because of you?

Next time I'm at a gas station, I'm gonna get Reese's Sticks because it's been so long and I forgot, like, the exciting existed.

I love that for a road trip, too.

I grab one of those, like, king size one because it's like, you get four of them.

Yeah.

And yeah, it.

Love them.

All right, I'm.

I'm guessing you haven't had these in a minute.

My number one most underrated candy is the fruity Tootsie Rolls.

Oh, no, but you and I were talking about them.

I feel like, recently.

God, they are so good.

Every now and then, her work will win us tickets to a soccer game.

And they have, like, box seats, so you're in, like, the VIP section, and they have this little area with free food.

And, like, in the way back corner in the lab on the left side of the wall, there's, like, bowls of candy, and they have a big fish bowl of fruity Tootsie Rolls.

So every time I go to this game on her company's dime, I literally just grab handfuls and just stuff my pockets.

They want you.

It's rude.

It's rude if you don't do that.

Well, they.

They only yell at me when I push the kids all the way.

Right, that makes sense.

Yeah.

And you would do that.

So that's really on brand for you.

I mean, Brandon was really mean.

He was making fun of my hat.

Yeah.

Okay, let's go into honorable mentions because we can't stop at five.

So.

Honorable mentions.

Sour Skittles.

Oh, my mouth is like.

Yeah, I know.

Because I would say that's up there with one of the.

Like that and like, warheads.

Oh, Sour Skittles over warheads.

But warheads are so good.

But sour Skittles.

It's been a minute for those, like, that's another one where you, you know, if you're going to eat a bag of Sour Skittles.

An entire bag of Skittles.

Anything you eat for the next 12 hours is just.

It doesn't matter.

Yeah.

If you've never tried Indian food and you're not a big fan of like, like, you know, venturing that far into different cuisines.

Eat a bag of Sour Skittles and then go try some Indian food.

You're really gonna like it.

I swear to God.

I.

I like Indian.

I had Indian food.

I love Indian food.

I love me curry.

I wish everyone.

Yeah.

Oh, that was the other thing.

So remember when I said I wasn't feeling well, so I took a bunch of cold medicine and ordered Indian food?

Because I was like, those fucking spices are going to just.

I'm going to sweat whatever is in me out.

So I got, like, hot curry.

Like, I was like, I quote, we have mild to spicy right here.

Shout out.

Mild to spicy.

It is one of my favorite.

There was a.

There was a It's probably.

It isn't helping if I tell this story like, their business, but there was, like.

Like three days.

I was, like, driving downtown from my place, and I passed it, and there was a sticker that was, like, you know, closed unexpectedly.

Like, we're closed.

We.

You can't come in.

There was, like, a.

A sign on the door.

So it was, like, probably health food related or health inspector related, maybe.

Allegedly.

And I didn't read the sign because I was like, when.

As soon as they open back up, I'm gonna order from that.

Like, I don't care.

Like, you could be like, there was rats in there.

And I was like, I don't care.

It was so good there.

Yeah, There was actually no chef.

It was just three legs, and it was a rat.

It was a ratatouille.

Yeah.

Three rats.

It was a ratatouille situation.

But for Indian food instead of Italian food, I would eat there.

I don't care.

But, yeah, it's one of my favorites in the city.

Check them out.

Yeah.

And I think.

I think I've had them.

I need.

I still.

I need to give your honorable mentions.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I'm.

I'm kind of mad at myself for not including this one in my top five, and I think it's probably in my top five of candies.

Yeah.

Rojos.

Oh, I don't know if I pronounce rolos, but I say rojos.

Yeah, I knew what you meant.

I, like, I got it.

The.

I haven't had one of those in a while either, because it's like a mini cow tale, right?

Oh, no, no, no, no, no.

I'm thinking the bullseyes, but, yeah, I know Rolo's.

I know what a rolo is.

Yeah, you like some weird candy, dude.

So do you.

What do you mean?

Yeah, but I feel like yours are weirder.

Yours are like, the kind that like.

Like, my grandmother would always be like, I have a cow tail in my purse.

And I was like, okay, that'll work.

And, like, now I.

I've had so much dental work done that I'm like, all right, I guess I'm losing the filling.

I mean, that's.

That's a bag of Skittles.

Well, not even losing a filling with Skittles.

I.

More Swedish fish than anything.

Swedish fish will rip that right out.

Yeah, you got a filling that's, like, on the edge, on the verge.

That shit's coming out if you eat some Swedish fish.

What it is.

Like, if.

All right, so your road trip.

Three minimum.

Three Hours.

That first stop.

That first stop at a gas station.

You know what I mean?

Like you're mentally.

I want you to.

I wanna.

I wanna.

I will go into a gas station for something before the trip hits three hours.

Like, like not the three hour mark, but I'm saying the trip could only be two hours total.

I'm gonna get a snack for the car and if I go in there, it's usually Reese's Sticks.

What?

How many items did you say?

As many games you usually get.

Reese's Sticks and then a bag of beef jerky.

Teriyaki jack links.

Unless there's like a really.

It has to be like a really good deal.

Unlike some like firehouse jerky or something.

But like part of me wants the.

The beef jerky.

The.

The like the one that feels super processed.

Super like, oh, this isn't real.

Like, there's no way this is real.

But it's still $12 for four pieces.

Yeah.

And they're like.

Because it's premium.

Yeah, but.

Yeah, like that.

And then pack his ins.

Nothing to drink.

Oh, I usually have my giant water jug, which is like all the way.

It's like around this corner, so.

But I guess I like the liquid death iced teas or like, like a Gatorade or a Powerade or something like Gatorade Zero Blue.

I guess.

I don't know why I danced around that.

It's Gatorade Zero blue.

Thank you.

All right, so Gatorade Zero blue zins, racy sticks and a pack of beef jerky.

Yep.

Okay.

Okay, that's good.

I would say mine.

Reese's Fast break all day.

Greatest candy bar of all time.

Probably some Twizzlers.

Little small pack of the red ones.

Beef jerky or chips or pretzels.

I just went through three different things, but to drink.

If it's a long drive, it's definitely something caffeinate.

Caffeinated.

Like not like a purple monster or orange monster.

The sugar free ones.

Okay.

Or if it's not.

If I don't need caffeine, I'll probably do like.

Yeah.

Liquid death Mango.

Yeah.

The.

If you could only pick one though of chips, pretzels or beef jerky, what would you pick?
