Anyway, it's Halloween week and we're so excited for Halloween. We're talking all things Halloween this episode. We're going back in the day. We're going back to our sexy Halloween costumes. Then we're going to frickin Cinderella. Glinda. This. This year. [00:03:45] Speaker B: I am Glinda. This year. [00:03:46] Speaker A: Yeah. I'm Darla. [00:03:50] Speaker B: Oh, you didn't even tell me what you're wearing for Darla. [00:03:52] Speaker A: Oh, I'll explain. [00:03:53] Speaker B: Okay. [00:03:53] Speaker A: Anyway, do you have anything to say? Do we, do we have anything to say? Anything happened? We have anything to talk about? [00:04:00] Speaker B: We could just talk about what just happened to us when we went into Spirit Halloween. [00:04:03] Speaker A: We went to Spirit Halloween because we wanted to do some content. First of all, forgot about Spirit Halloween because I met my husband five years ago, which was Covid. So we never did Halloween like together until we had a kid. Because no one was having Halloween parties during COVID I haven't been into Spirit Halloween. There's so many costumes. [00:04:18] Speaker B: Wait, you haven't been to Spirit Halloween like in five years? [00:04:22] Speaker A: Why would I go in there? [00:04:23] Speaker B: I clearly live there. [00:04:24] Speaker A: Gio was a newborn last year. I wasn't going to Spirit Halloween. [00:04:27] Speaker B: No. My kids, they love stepping on the things. Dom got so scared. [00:04:32] Speaker A: Did you know I genuinely was scared? [00:04:34] Speaker B: Yeah, I mean, I heard your scream. [00:04:37] Speaker A: So I didn't know this was the thing. You step on the things in Spirit Halloween, they come and scare you. Like those little statue things. [00:04:42] Speaker B: They have like a whole display now. It is, it's, it's better than a haunted house. [00:04:46] Speaker A: You can buy that stuff. [00:04:46] Speaker B: Yeah, for like $300. [00:04:48] Speaker A: I mean, you can absolutely go there for a haunted house. [00:04:51] Speaker B: Oh yeah. I mean, I do. That's like an activity for the kids. We're like, okay, we're gonna go check out the scary. [00:04:55] Speaker A: I mean, Gio would probably like laugh. Cause he doesn't think anything scary. [00:04:59] Speaker B: Rocco loves it. He just says again, again, again. When the scary clown pops out. [00:05:04] Speaker A: Oh, he's not afraid. [00:05:05] Speaker B: I know. You know what? I think a lot of kids aren't afraid. But then when my mom says that when they're sleeping, self conscious, that's why. [00:05:13] Speaker A: They say don't bring them. [00:05:14] Speaker B: Yeah, they don't bring them because then they think about it and then they are screaming from their crib, I'm scared. [00:05:18] Speaker A: I'm scared, I'm scared. Okay, so which is wine and why are we still here? Our husband's eating pumpkin patch. [00:05:26] Speaker B: No. Okay. We're talking Halloween, but we're also talking all things fall. Yeah. [00:05:30] Speaker A: Like October. Like, I just feel like you just have to like, intertwine them. [00:05:33] Speaker B: Yeah. So how does your husband feel about a pumpkin patch? [00:05:36] Speaker A: I feel like my husband has no feelings towards that. Like, I just feel like he just goes, if I say we're going, we're going. [00:05:43] Speaker B: So I have a couple. I have a lot of things to say about this one. Usually you're gonna go on like a Saturday or Sunday, right? [00:05:50] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:05:50] Speaker B: So they're miserable because they're missing football. [00:05:53] Speaker A: Yes. [00:05:54] Speaker B: Like, I remember one year it wasn't this year, but like, Joey was just on his phone checking his fantasy and I was like, can you just live in the pumpkin patch moment of the. [00:06:04] Speaker A: Can you take a picture with us by the pumpkins? [00:06:06] Speaker B: And I also saw a lot of other husbands literally on the phone pushing strollers like this. Pushing their stroller, checking their draft. Like, like, it was like a thing. Like I said, I want to beat. [00:06:16] Speaker A: All of them up. [00:06:16] Speaker B: No. You know what I need? I need when you walk into a pumpkin patch, I need like a rent. A husband. A husband. [00:06:24] Speaker A: You get to pick a pumpkin and a husband. [00:06:26] Speaker B: Pick a pumpkin and a husband that's going to be into it. Make him six five, tall, dark and handsome and make him like, want to take pictures with me. [00:06:32] Speaker A: Agreed. [00:06:33] Speaker B: That would be great. [00:06:34] Speaker A: Like, okay, you go there. I'm going to pick a pumpkin and a husband and I'll see you in three hours. [00:06:38] Speaker B: And they would probably be fine with it because nobody else wants to be at the pumpkin. [00:06:41] Speaker A: They would be absolutely fine with it. And it's not a pumpkin patch. Just like to watch your kids, like, explore. The pumpkin patch is like, so fun. [00:06:49] Speaker B: It's so fun. [00:06:49] Speaker A: There's always activities. Yeah. [00:06:51] Speaker B: And I'm truly, when I do things like that, like, I'm about the memory. I'm not even about the pictures. [00:06:55] Speaker A: Agreed. [00:06:56] Speaker B: I don't think I ever take pictures because I have 12 things in my hand. [00:06:59] Speaker A: You take. You do take pictures, but you're quick. [00:07:01] Speaker B: I mean, I. But there's, like, a missing shoe. There's like. [00:07:03] Speaker A: Yeah, someone's screaming. [00:07:04] Speaker B: Someone's screaming. Someone's in, like, their puke outfit that I didn't have planned because your kids get car sick. Right. So it's like, not like, it's not aesthetic. Yeah, but we're there, first of all. [00:07:15] Speaker A: We're like, cross leg me, Michael, and the baby. [00:07:17] Speaker B: Smile, motherfucker. [00:07:20] Speaker A: No, but seriously, it's so true. [00:07:23] Speaker B: And like, every mom is like, just one more picture. One more picture. [00:07:26] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:07:26] Speaker B: And the husband is just like, we've been here for two hours. [00:07:29] Speaker A: Oh, my God. It's so bad when you watch families take pictures. I cringe. I'm like. The husband is internally freaking out. The mom is screaming at the kids to smile. They're not listening. [00:07:39] Speaker B: No. [00:07:40] Speaker A: And you just want a good photo. Forget it. Holler me. Picture's gonna stress me out. I know. I'm gonna want a good photo because we're finally doing, like, you're gonna be. [00:07:48] Speaker B: You guys have a cute family. [00:07:49] Speaker A: I know. I hope, I hope. But you always get a good photo on Halloween. How? [00:07:53] Speaker B: I mean, I tried to do one. And then who takes your picture? You have to do it before all of the things happen. [00:07:58] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:07:58] Speaker B: I don't know. [00:07:59] Speaker A: Before you leave your house. [00:08:00] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:08:01] Speaker A: Okay, so let's get into it. What do we get into? [00:08:05] Speaker B: We're just talking about pumpkin patch, heaven or hell. Also, every single time I've been to the pumpkin patch, it's like 90 degrees. And you. Why is that flannel? [00:08:14] Speaker A: Wait, you're wearing a flannel and jeans and boots. [00:08:17] Speaker B: And it's 90 degrees. [00:08:18] Speaker A: And it's 90 degrees. Why do they do that? [00:08:20] Speaker B: My kids are, like, stripping. [00:08:21] Speaker A: No, it's. I remember last year, like, Gio's first, like, farm. I had him, like, layers. [00:08:26] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:08:27] Speaker A: And it was 90 degrees. [00:08:28] Speaker B: No, it's global warming. [00:08:30] Speaker A: I don't like it. [00:08:31] Speaker B: I know. [00:08:32] Speaker A: We did Happy Farm this year. [00:08:33] Speaker B: Oh, Happy Farm's a good one. [00:08:34] Speaker A: It's a good one. It's a really good one. It's so spacious. [00:08:36] Speaker B: Happy Farm might be my favorite. I feel like I've been to the mall, and I feel like when you. Before you. If you haven't gone to one, it's, like, stressful. It's like, okay, which. There's so many to pick from. Which one should we do? Only. Yeah. It's like a whole Cash only. [00:08:50] Speaker A: Cash only. Raw, honey. It's the only thing to eat. What is your favorite age to bring your kids to a. Like, a farm or Something probably right. [00:09:00] Speaker B: Now my kids are, like, such a fun age. [00:09:01] Speaker A: Like, would they do haunted houses or, like. Not yet. [00:09:04] Speaker B: Yeah. But they might be, like, a little scared. [00:09:06] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:09:06] Speaker B: If it was, like, not a really creepy one. Yeah. But they. I mean, they love, like, they love hayrides. They love, like, a petting zoo. Like, they love all the things. [00:09:15] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:09:16] Speaker B: Like, 2 to 5 is, like, the prime time. [00:09:18] Speaker A: What? At what age are they, like, really afraid of things? Like Halloween things? Because, like, the Valentine's scare is supposed to be scary. [00:09:25] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:09:26] Speaker A: Something like Winnie the Pooh when there's. [00:09:28] Speaker B: Like, those scary commercials that come on. Like, the conjuring. Like, they get scared. Yeah. Like, they're like, what do they do? I'm, like, getting the remote to shut the tv. [00:09:39] Speaker A: I know I'm not there yet. [00:09:41] Speaker B: Yeah. So I feel like now they could start to get scared. But also, like, they love the scary stuff at spirit Halloween. [00:09:47] Speaker A: I do love, like, the atmosphere at a farm now with, like, donuts and cider and, like, you're strolling around and your kids can run free. [00:09:58] Speaker B: Yeah. It's. It's fun. [00:09:59] Speaker A: Yeah. It's. People are, like, so afraid of, like, patches because, like, no one. No one's. I mean, I guess you could be taken in plain sight. [00:10:09] Speaker B: Why? [00:10:09] Speaker A: If you were on Netflix, there's a new. [00:10:11] Speaker B: Don't watch it. [00:10:11] Speaker A: It's a new movie out called Taken in Plain Sight. It's actually terrifying. They were at a rest stop in the middle of fucking Nowher where I've. [00:10:18] Speaker B: Been to so many rest stops where. [00:10:19] Speaker A: I'm just like, everyone hold hands. [00:10:22] Speaker B: Yeah, hold hands. Like, I make sure I could see the feet. I mean, I would never leave my kids alone, but I know. I mean, I have such scary, scary thoughts at rest stops. And now because I watched that, I will ever be. [00:10:34] Speaker A: Well, that was like, a scary rest stop. [00:10:36] Speaker B: So creepy. [00:10:37] Speaker A: So creepy. [00:10:38] Speaker B: She. They locked her door. Locked. Oh, I can't. [00:10:42] Speaker A: Yeah, no, it was a really scary movie. But you should watch it if you want. Just, like, a little. [00:10:45] Speaker B: You shouldn't. I can't do scary movies. Like, real scary movies. [00:10:48] Speaker A: I can. I love scary movies. I. It's so funny. [00:10:51] Speaker B: Scream. [00:10:51] Speaker A: And you don't like any haunted house. I'm, like, the only girl that, like, makes it through a haunted house. Like, ever been to Bain? [00:10:57] Speaker B: No. But do you do haunted houses where they actually, like, jump out at you? [00:11:00] Speaker A: Oh, my God, no. What a haunted house I've been to. [00:11:03] Speaker B: No. [00:11:03] Speaker A: Have you ever been to Baines? [00:11:04] Speaker B: No. [00:11:05] Speaker A: It's a haunted house. It's like Global and there was a pop up in Livingston one year and it was like serious shit. Like they put you in a box. No, no, no. And you have to try to find your way out. And then one was like you to crawl through a small space like this tight. And you have to crawl through it. And there's people that you have to say a certain word and they'll escort you out. And other than that, you have to go through. [00:11:28] Speaker B: I can't even do an estate now. [00:11:29] Speaker A: I'm scared that someone's actually going to kill me in it. Rather than being afraid of like the things popping out. But it was only like five years ago. It was like a serious haunted house. It wasn't like walk through people pop. It was like you had to like survive. [00:11:43] Speaker B: I can't, I cannot handle that. [00:11:45] Speaker A: Also, I loved it. [00:11:46] Speaker B: Halloween to me is like a perfect time for killers to just wear those masks and just like rob you and kill you. Like, why wouldn't they come in those bunny masks? They ring the doorbell, shoot people in. [00:11:58] Speaker A: Plain sight now, I guess, I don't know. [00:11:59] Speaker B: It's a scary world out there. [00:12:01] Speaker A: I mean, my favorite Halloween movie, it used to be Scream. [00:12:05] Speaker B: I can't. [00:12:06] Speaker A: Have you ever watched those? [00:12:07] Speaker B: No. Like I've seen. Is it the same as Saw movies? [00:12:10] Speaker A: No, I never really like Saw, so I was like too much for me. But Scream, like the Scream movies, they were like goofy. [00:12:17] Speaker B: Goofy funny. Yeah, I've seen like I've, I've seen one, but I, I, I like can't get into them. I don't really like anything scary because I am such a scaredy cat myself. [00:12:25] Speaker A: Yeah, you're afraid of it happening in real life. [00:12:27] Speaker B: Yeah, and I'm afraid of my own shadow. [00:12:29] Speaker A: Like it's not a thing. But like, people don't do it when you think they're gonna do it, or they do or they do. Like, when have you heard a Halloween horror story like that? Real life? [00:12:40] Speaker B: I don't know, but I feel like that would be a perfect time to do something like that. [00:12:43] Speaker A: Perfect time to kill Emily? [00:12:45] Speaker B: No, I mean, there's fake blood everywhere. Like, it could just be real blood. Like, oh, it's a Halloween costume. It's Halloween costume. One time I actually saw a white van driving. No. And it was during Halloween and it had like handprints and it said, help me. Like, but it was one of those, like, you know, those windows now, like, I'm calling 911. Maybe there's a fucking kidnapping. [00:13:05] Speaker A: Did you call 911? [00:13:06] Speaker B: I didn't because I Just assumed, assumed it was Halloween, but it wasn't. [00:13:09] Speaker A: Right now that girl is dead inside that van Because Judy Cole, 91 1. [00:13:13] Speaker B: I screwed up. [00:13:14] Speaker A: But seriously, I just feel like I, I also love, like the spirit of Halloween, though. Literally. Like, Halloween Town is like one of my favorite movies too. [00:13:23] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:13:23] Speaker A: Hocus Pocus, like, forget it. My all time favorite, I feel like. [00:13:27] Speaker B: And it just like brings you back to your childhood. [00:13:28] Speaker A: Like, it just, it really does. Like watching those movies. It really does. And then it's just like, it leads into like the best season, Christmas, you know? [00:13:35] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. Can we talk about Halloween then versus Halloween now? What was like, if you could picture like your. What you were like in Halloween? Let's, let's go back to college first. [00:13:47] Speaker A: Okay? Why don't we go back to high school? [00:13:48] Speaker B: All right, fine. High school. [00:13:49] Speaker A: Okay. [00:13:50] Speaker B: What was like your favorite costume? You were in high school? [00:13:54] Speaker A: I, I would say Black Swan was my favorite because remember when that movie was big? [00:13:59] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. And in that movie, I, I had a crush on her forever. [00:14:05] Speaker A: I mean, it was such a good movie. [00:14:06] Speaker B: That was a good movie. [00:14:07] Speaker A: Plus, the costume was legit. I wore a real tutu, fish nets, black tight corset, like, mask. [00:14:15] Speaker B: That's a sexy custom. [00:14:16] Speaker A: Yeah, it was sexy. I wore heels. [00:14:20] Speaker B: All in high school. [00:14:21] Speaker A: Yeah, I think I wore heels in middle school. [00:14:25] Speaker B: Sad. I remember we would do like group costumes. [00:14:29] Speaker A: Like, did you ever do solo costumes? [00:14:31] Speaker B: Yeah, I did. But I remember in high school we would do like cheerleader costumes and I, my mom would make me wear like the tank underneath, the slutty zip up and like the little shorts under. And then when was the Halloween party? After. I was so excited to take off the tank top and take off the shorts and like unzip it a little more and be like super slutty. [00:14:48] Speaker A: Yeah, that was like a thing to like. Because Halloween, you have to remember, like, what it's about. You're like somebody else. So people like, like being somebody else. [00:14:55] Speaker B: Yeah, you know, it's fun. [00:14:56] Speaker A: I think that was like my favorite in high school. What was yours in high school? [00:14:59] Speaker B: Um, well, in high school I was a slutty French maid after hours. Like at a, at a high school party in Joey. In my husband's basement. [00:15:09] Speaker A: Your husband now? [00:15:10] Speaker B: My husband now My husband now. [00:15:12] Speaker A: It's a costume where you wore no pants. [00:15:15] Speaker B: Yeah. So picture a French made apron. [00:15:18] Speaker A: Yeah. With like the fluff with the. [00:15:19] Speaker B: Yeah, but like, the apron just ties in the back. Right. So there was nothing else in the back of me. It was just like, I can't imagine. [00:15:26] Speaker A: You walking around with that ass. [00:15:29] Speaker B: I know, right? There's a picture. There is absolutely a picture. A sideways picture of me and my girlfriends and I'm. I have no. I know. Ass then. I mean, I don't know. You weren't pooping drunk in the. [00:15:39] Speaker A: Pooping as a French maid. [00:15:42] Speaker B: There was no pooping. [00:15:42] Speaker A: So no underwear? [00:15:44] Speaker B: No pants? There was underwear, but it was underwear with thong. It was probably like booty shorts. Thong. [00:15:49] Speaker A: Okay, that's different. [00:15:51] Speaker B: But there was bare butt. It was bare butt. [00:15:54] Speaker A: Who do you think you were walking around with your ass cracking? [00:15:56] Speaker B: No, I thought I was hot shit. [00:15:58] Speaker A: I think your husband was definitely into that. [00:16:02] Speaker B: He was like playing beer pong on. [00:16:04] Speaker A: The corner, not paying attention to you at all. Actually doesn't even remember you wearing that costume. That's hilarious. [00:16:11] Speaker B: But actually, my all time favorite Halloween costume that I had was in college. I was a dominatrix and I. Yeah. [00:16:17] Speaker A: I still don't understand that. [00:16:18] Speaker B: I went full. Like I pretended I was a dominatrix. Like I had, I had the choker, I had the ball gag. Like, I was like. I had a whip. I had like a black strap on hanging from me. Oh, yeah, I was whipping people all night. I remember, like, I just remember being at the Rutgers bars and like having an actual black strap on. On my person and just like bending people over and like trying to bang them. Like, so canceled. [00:16:45] Speaker A: So canceled. [00:16:46] Speaker B: Like so much sexual harassment. [00:16:48] Speaker A: No pictures or videos of that at all? [00:16:51] Speaker B: No. And that's the thing. There was no. There's no evidence, which is amazing. [00:16:54] Speaker A: I don't see it because I don't believe. [00:16:56] Speaker B: Thank God there's no evidence. [00:16:58] Speaker A: Imagine your kids, like, pulling it up. [00:16:59] Speaker B: Oh, my God. No, but the. [00:17:01] Speaker A: What's this strapped onto you? [00:17:02] Speaker B: The big black strap on. Hung on our chandelier in our rooker's house for the next four years. [00:17:07] Speaker A: No way. [00:17:08] Speaker B: So there's a. There is a picture of that. [00:17:10] Speaker A: I need to see all these pictures. [00:17:12] Speaker B: I'll show you them. [00:17:13] Speaker A: College. [00:17:14] Speaker B: College. Yeah. Oh, I was Playboy bunny one year. [00:17:18] Speaker A: Oh, yeah, typical. My favorite, I think was poison ivy. [00:17:21] Speaker B: Oh, you had the good. The red wig. I love a wig. A wig is fun to wear. [00:17:25] Speaker A: Wig is so fun to wear a lot of times. So wearing a wig is just like so fun. Oh, I was Ariana Grande one year, which was cute. [00:17:32] Speaker B: Oh, that's a cute one. [00:17:33] Speaker A: Like when she wore like the long white blonde wigs with like a beanie. Yeah, I did that. That was cute. I, I actually, I like, like making my own costumes. Honestly. [00:17:43] Speaker B: You're creative. No, but, like, I remember being so poor in college that, like, going to Spirit Halloween. Like, I couldn't afford, like, a $75 pirate corset costume that I really wanted. [00:17:55] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. I was a ninja one year. Ninja was fun. You're like. It was, like, the thing to be sexy when you were in college. [00:18:02] Speaker B: Yeah. I mean, or, like, badass. [00:18:04] Speaker A: Like, I was. I'm reading Sons of Anarchy. Like, I did, like, a badass costume like that. [00:18:07] Speaker B: That's cool. One year in college, Joey, we made his costume. He wanted to be, you know, a box of Franzia. The wine. Oh, yeah, the boxed wine. So we meet. We did, like, a cutout, and we made it look legit. And the spout, like, so he was a box and it was like, the brand Franzia. And the spout was, like, right by his peach. So, like, girls in college would just, like, be on their knees, like, taking. Slapping the bag. You were loving it. I mean. [00:18:33] Speaker A: No, but, like, he was also loving it. [00:18:34] Speaker B: Yeah. Like, that was a funny costume that. [00:18:36] Speaker A: I mean, there's so many things, like, I feel like it changes now. I'm like, let's fast forward to last year. I was Piglet. [00:18:43] Speaker B: I was Cindy Lou, who was. [00:18:46] Speaker A: And my husband was. Who's the. My Gio was Winnie the Pooh. [00:18:50] Speaker B: And then Eeyore. [00:18:51] Speaker A: Eeyore. And he was Tiger. What's his name? [00:18:57] Speaker B: Tiger from Winnie the Pooh. [00:18:59] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:19:00] Speaker B: I mean, yeah. It changes so much. So now it's like, I will be whatever the fuck my kids want me to be. [00:19:04] Speaker A: Yeah, totally. [00:19:05] Speaker B: So this year we're doing wizard of Oz. [00:19:07] Speaker A: Dorothy, your husband's a scarecrow. [00:19:09] Speaker B: He's the scarecrow. Joey's Tin Man Rock was the lion. And Glinda, that's actually really cute. That's what they want to do. So I will give. [00:19:15] Speaker A: They're like real people. So seeing them in the costumes, like, they're not babies, like blobs. They're, like, cute. Like, Vienna with her. Dorothy is going to be really cute. [00:19:24] Speaker B: Yeah. I mean, she was shoes. [00:19:25] Speaker A: But people are so creative. [00:19:26] Speaker B: People are. I saw one person, like, who I know, but don't really know. They were, like, the Costco cart. And, like, their kids were like the hot dogs in the Costco car. They use the wagon as. [00:19:38] Speaker A: The car was just animal crackers. They made, like, a wagon with the box. Their kids were. [00:19:43] Speaker B: Some people do the wagon as the prop. [00:19:45] Speaker A: I mean, like, that's so creative. I'm being my son's alfalfa. I'm being Darla. And my husband's being Spanky. [00:19:51] Speaker B: How's he being Spanky? He's just gonna put a black. [00:19:54] Speaker A: That's the dog. That's. That's Petey. Oh, Petey's the one who is like. [00:19:59] Speaker B: Oh, I love Spanky. [00:20:00] Speaker A: Cute little one who's, like, outgoing and makes all the rules. I love that he's just wearing a beanie and a sweatshirt. But people are so creative. Like, they. They think of the costume, but then they think of, like. Like they're not just animals. They're animal crackers. So they make the wagon and, like, the whole. I mean, like, who. I can't think. People hate Halloween, though. [00:20:19] Speaker B: My husband hate. [00:20:21] Speaker A: Like, why do you. You're like the Grinch on Halloween. What do they call that? [00:20:24] Speaker B: He should be the Grinch. So you haven't gotten to this stage yet, but Trunk or treats now are so big. So Trunk or treat. If. If my. All our followers out there aren't there yet. They do this thing in schools or just, like, with your town where you bring your car and you decorate your crazy trunk. [00:20:42] Speaker A: This was never a thing. [00:20:43] Speaker B: And then the kids go. Instead of going door to door, it's supposed to be safer. They go from car to car, trunk to trunk, and they trick. [00:20:50] Speaker A: They started this during COVID Yeah. [00:20:54] Speaker B: So. But now it's like a thing. They do it at every school. They do it. They do it in towns. Like, they have town special town ones. They have. I mean, I'm sure they have. [00:21:01] Speaker A: You have to go all out. [00:21:03] Speaker B: Oh, my God. These moms. They. They have fog machines coming out of their trunks. [00:21:08] Speaker A: No, they don't. Yes. [00:21:09] Speaker B: Oh, they go crazy. That's why I'm not doing it, because I don't have time. I just. [00:21:13] Speaker A: And your kids have to dress up on top of that? [00:21:15] Speaker B: Yeah, they have to dress up for, like, 20 of them. [00:21:18] Speaker A: So do they. So when you're at that age, do they just wear the same costume? [00:21:22] Speaker B: Well, so, like, last year, Joey, I. [00:21:23] Speaker A: Would have to wear a different Michael Sonoma. Has to be someone different every time. [00:21:26] Speaker B: It depends what they want. Like, sometimes they're so obsessed with their one costume, they just only want to be that. But I remember one year, like, Joey wanted to be Spider Man. Then he wanted to be. So that's Ninja Turtle. And then he wanted. Like, he wanted to. And then he wanted to be a police officer, so we did all that. [00:21:40] Speaker A: So that was fun. What is he wearing to school? And then verse. Trick or treating. [00:21:43] Speaker B: He's doing her thing, which I was shocked about. He's Going to be the Tin man, like by himself at school. Which I thought was funny because, like, we all won't be there with him, but he still wants to be it. [00:21:53] Speaker A: So your kids love the wizard of Oz? [00:21:55] Speaker B: They love. [00:21:56] Speaker A: I was a baby every year for like 10 years. [00:21:58] Speaker B: An actual baby? [00:21:59] Speaker A: Yeah, like a costume. Like, baby was like, like I was. Pink tattoo. Yeah, like a onesie for literally 10 years in a row. My mom's baby again. Yeah. [00:22:07] Speaker B: Wait, as like a little girl? [00:22:09] Speaker A: Yeah. That's actually so funny. [00:22:10] Speaker B: I remember that people being that costume. [00:22:12] Speaker A: I think everybody was that for like five years in a row. [00:22:14] Speaker B: Oh, I can't remember, like when I was a kid, like, oh, I was the cute. [00:22:18] Speaker A: My mom would do the cutest costumes when I was a kid. [00:22:20] Speaker B: Joey's poodle costumes. [00:22:22] Speaker A: Yeah, like really cute. My. When I was. I would say like all the years, like, when you do that parade, whatever those ages are, you should come to. [00:22:28] Speaker B: Joey and Vienna's parade. It's gonna be. [00:22:30] Speaker A: I should. Gio would love that to watch all the costumes on Friday morning, 9am and anybody can come. [00:22:34] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:22:35] Speaker A: So a killer can come in a mask and just. [00:22:36] Speaker B: Yes. [00:22:37] Speaker A: That's not okay. [00:22:38] Speaker B: 9:00Am Be there. Don't kill the kids. [00:22:41] Speaker A: Don't kill the kids. So funny how, like life changes though, isn't it? I love it though. [00:22:46] Speaker B: I love. [00:22:47] Speaker A: I can't wait till he's older and like we have more kids and it's. [00:22:49] Speaker B: Just like, it's so fun and they're so excited. Like, Joy was like talking to one of his friends and was like, I'm going to get more candy than you this year. And they're just like fighting over that candy. [00:23:00] Speaker A: What did you carry around? [00:23:01] Speaker B: I used to carry around pillowcases. Yes. With my brothers. I remember going from Pillowcases. Pillowcase. And we would go like late night. I remember like pretty late actually. [00:23:12] Speaker A: We used to do mischief night. [00:23:13] Speaker B: Mischief night. Oh, my God. My kids are really into ding dong ditching right now. [00:23:17] Speaker A: You ding dong ditch family, though? [00:23:19] Speaker B: Well, I text before. I'm like, we're about to ding dong ditch. [00:23:22] Speaker A: You don't answer the door. No. But pillowcases is like, brings me back to like my cousins and then like. [00:23:29] Speaker B: Dumping out the pillowcases and treating candy. [00:23:31] Speaker A: Do you ever have like a certain street in your neighborhood growing up that had like the best trick or treat? [00:23:35] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. But the big candy. So Liz, though it's still the same. We would have this one house that we'd always skip because they'd give pennies. We're like, nobody wants that penny giving. [00:23:45] Speaker A: Now give me a penny. I need it right now. [00:23:47] Speaker B: I need one penny. [00:23:48] Speaker A: I need a penny. [00:23:49] Speaker B: And then. Oh, and then like the. The houses that give like non candy. Like, like Doritos. Like health. No, but not Doritos. Like a healthy like bar. Weird bar. Yeah, it's a granola bar. Yeah, that's weird.

Our actually our neighborhood doesn't get a lot of trick or treaters. [00:24:17] Speaker A: Yeah, I mean, obviously I don't either. [00:24:19] Speaker B: But if we did, I think I would do big candy bar. Like I would want to be known as the big candy bar house.

[00:24:32] Speaker A: Your house would be like robbed. [00:24:34] Speaker B: Like how about the. The people that leave out the buckets and say take one. And then these ring cameras are like. [00:24:41] Speaker A: People taking the bucket because no one's gonna take one piece of candy. That's so me. [00:24:45] Speaker B: Just take one. [00:24:47] Speaker A: That's so mean to do.

[00:29:56] Speaker B: I don't know. I thought I. I feel like I come up with a lot of stuff. [00:30:00] Speaker A: I feel like October goes by so fast, I can't hit a farm or a spirit Halloween quick enough, though. [00:30:05] Speaker B: I know. Like, you. You told me this the other day. You're like, I feel like I'm not doing enough. Like, like. Because what happens honestly is you look on Instagram, you see all these people doing all these things, and you're like, what the fuck? But I forgot to tell you that this is the weekend. So, like, we're doing Boo on the. [00:30:21] Speaker A: Boardwalk, which we're going to. [00:30:22] Speaker B: Which we're going to. [00:30:23] Speaker A: Wait, I have to dress up too. [00:30:24] Speaker B: We'll talk about it. You can, but, like, this is the weekend that people actually start doing Halloween stuff. And you did. I mean, you only need one pumpkin patch. They're gonna go to another pumpkin patch. [00:30:34] Speaker A: We already did a farm. [00:30:34] Speaker B: Yeah, you did a farm. [00:30:35] Speaker A: Yeah, I. [00:30:37] Speaker B: Did I tell you about this farm experience I had? [00:30:39] Speaker A: No. [00:30:40] Speaker B: So like I said, my husband absolutely hates pumpkin farms. So this year, Pumpkin farms is. Pumpkin farm, Pumpkin Patches Farms. What is it? [00:30:49] Speaker A: Pumpkin patch. [00:30:50] Speaker B: But decided, decided I would go by myself with my three kids to wait. [00:30:57] Speaker A: I can't believe you did this. You sent me a picture and I was like, where are your supervisors? [00:31:02] Speaker B: I promise you I will never do it again. [00:31:05] Speaker A: But like, what did you do? Did you take a Xanax? [00:31:08] Speaker B: So, no, I should have, but. But I didn't think. I didn't think anything through. Because picture this. Okay, So I have the stroller. Cause my kids still go in strollers, right? If they, if I don't want them to run away. Joey, Vienna and Rocco in a stroller, right? And then my kids really wanted to pick out pumpkins. So you have that wagon that you have to put the pumpkins on. [00:31:26] Speaker A: You didn't think this? [00:31:27] Speaker B: I didn't think. So I am pushing the stroller, pulling the wagon and rallying my kids. [00:31:33] Speaker A: Let me ask you something. Did you go on a ride? [00:31:37] Speaker B: No, no, no. This was a small. This was a small, small place. [00:31:40] Speaker A: Like. Are you out of your fucking mind? [00:31:42] Speaker B: No, it was just. Honestly, it wasn't even talking about. [00:31:44] Speaker A: Taken in plain sight. They could have took all three of your kids. You can't do nothing about it. [00:31:49] Speaker B: Imagine. So I was like sweating, telling them to stay close. But. But I honestly telling them to stay close, they listen, Joey, Joey had to pull the wagon because I could not physically push the stroller. Like, I left the stroller for most of the time because I couldn't do it. [00:32:05] Speaker A: Who made you a five year old push the wagon? [00:32:07] Speaker B: Pulled the wagon. Pull the wagon. [00:32:09] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:32:09] Speaker B: I had to. I had no choice. I remember, wait, this mom walked by me, did like the mom, like, you know when you see another mom and they just. Idiot. They just like give you that nod like, I get it, but like, I feel bad for you. [00:32:23] Speaker A: She was just like, but don't help. [00:32:25] Speaker B: It doesn't help. Just gives you the look. [00:32:28] Speaker A: Doesn't help. Let me ask you something. You rolled out of bed that morning and said, let me go to a pumpkin patch with all three of my kids. [00:32:34] Speaker B: No, I didn't, I didn't. It was a spur of the moment. They wanted to paint pumpkins so badly. [00:32:39] Speaker A: Go to Costco and get pumpkin. [00:32:41] Speaker B: Yeah, that's. That's what we'll do. [00:32:43] Speaker A: I mean, like, that is on you. I got nothing to say. [00:32:46] Speaker B: We also went to this other. It's called Bright Nights. And it was like a dark. [00:32:50] Speaker A: We did last year. [00:32:51] Speaker B: Yeah. Oh, we did it last year. [00:32:53] Speaker A: I was miserable last year. It was actually below zero. [00:32:56] Speaker B: It was freezing. Yeah. [00:32:57] Speaker A: Gio was like four months old. [00:32:58] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:32:59] Speaker A: And it was pitch black. Nothing was lit up. So bright light. The night doesn't exist there. And we took a photo and we left. [00:33:09] Speaker B: So we went because, like, the kids school was doing like an event, so they had fun because their friends were running around. But for about, I would say 38 seconds, I lost Rocco. Okay. [00:33:21] Speaker A: Or Em, that's not funny. [00:33:23] Speaker B: No, it wasn't. He was by the scream truck. He, like, wandered. And you know when a baby does the thing where they're pulling on another mom's leg because it looks like. So he's pulling on this woman's leg, hysterically crying. I'm panicking, running around. He was like, literally like 20 steps away. But, like, for those 30 seconds, I was in full on panic mode. [00:33:45] Speaker A: Like, that's the worst feeling. [00:33:47] Speaker B: It's the worst feeling in the entire. I don't. I. There's no worse feeling. So obviously I found him. Thank the fucking Lord. But like, it was just. I, I. And then I didn't. [00:33:56] Speaker A: You're that age. [00:33:57] Speaker B: Yeah. Like, you turn your back one second. [00:33:59] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:34:00] Speaker B: And he wandered to the ice cream truck. [00:34:02] Speaker A: He can't find mom in a crowd. [00:34:04] Speaker B: It was. I'm sweating thinking about it. [00:34:05] Speaker A: I mean, that's like my biggest nightmare, like, losing my. That's why, like, even if I'm at like a coffee shop, where's he going? And like, just like, by my leg, I'm constantly. I feel like I'm constantly. [00:34:15] Speaker B: Yeah, always. Yeah. No, and then I, like, had to have my eyes on, like, Joey and Vienna. My husband is like, at the fucking beer tent. I don't know. Like, so it's like, beer tent. [00:34:23] Speaker A: Wait. You know, another thing, we didn't mention what happens to me personally during this season. [00:34:28] Speaker B: What? [00:34:28] Speaker A: Which honestly, you didn't say one thing to me. [00:34:30] Speaker B: What? [00:34:31] Speaker A: I changed my hair color. I changed my hair color during this season because I feel like, why? It brightens softer. [00:34:40] Speaker B: I told her she looks softer. [00:34:41] Speaker A: She looks me dead in the eye and she goes, you know what? You look like not as harsh. You did. You said harsh. She goes, yeah. Like, you look soft. I'm like, all right. Another thing. You have something else to say? [00:34:54] Speaker B: Go ahead. [00:34:54] Speaker A: So, yeah, I lightened my hair. Cause I feel like fall season here. [00:34:57] Speaker B: But she failed to mention I also wanted to change my hair and I wanted to do what she did. [00:35:03] Speaker A: No, I Don't want you to do that because look at your hair color at the moment. You have what I have right now, and you've just dyed your hair. [00:35:10] Speaker B: You should go dark. Meanwhile, she has caramel. [00:35:13] Speaker A: I was doing what's in her best interest, not mine. Okay, let's get that clear. [00:35:18] Speaker B: Anyway, your hair looks great, though. Thanks. You look nice and soft. [00:35:25] Speaker A: Needed to change act in it, though. Yeah, I needed to change up. I haven't, like, done anything with my hands. [00:35:29] Speaker B: Yeah, I feel like. You know what's so funny? When I didn't know Dom, Okay, I stalked her. I stalked the. Out of her. Wait, I don't know if I ever told you this, but. So, like, obviously I was talking my best friend's new girlfriend. And in every single picture I saw you, I was like, is this the same chick? Like, she looks really different. Like, her hair is red. Her hair is long Here. Her. Like, this is not the same girl. [00:35:55] Speaker A: I used to change my hair every month. [00:35:56] Speaker B: I mean, you look different in every photo. [00:35:57] Speaker A: I know. It's so funny. Everyone says that when they first meet me. Yeah, like, I stalked you, and you look different in every photo. Yeah, that's why I don't want you. Yeah, you can't keep track of me. I'm always changing. No, seriously. First of all, you stalked me? Yeah. [00:36:11] Speaker B: Oh, I stalked you. That's cute. She likes that. [00:36:14] Speaker A: I do. Anyway, I'm excited for Christmas. All right?
