Halloween Memories

0:01 Hello everybody. Happy Halloween.

0:04 Well, almost Halloween. Fuck you, yes.

0:08 Welcome back to Plug In for Player 4.

0:10 For player. 4 Where are you the view on the player?

0:12 Four. Yeah, I'm your host, Mark.

0:14 I'm. Your host.

0:16 That was Ethan. I'm player 4.

0:19 Yeah, surprise, surprise. We have a guest star.

0:24 We have my wife Emma with us. Say hi.

0:26 I'm wife. Hi, I'm Ethan.

0:29 I. Don't know who the fuck I am.

0:32 Go on. Don't worry about it, you'll

0:33 figure it out. I don't, I don't, I don't know

0:36 anymore. I tried doing what he did last

0:38 episode and it didn't work so now I'm upset.

0:41 It's Mark. He's he.

0:43 I am the king of bullshit. I am the king of bullshit.

0:46 I'm. Just not really here.

0:48 Fair enough, fair enough. You can only do it for so long

1:07 until it actually starts tripping me out.

1:09 And I, I just wanted to get you that.

1:11 I know I. Know I hope everybody loves.

1:13 I'm going to do some Halloween music in the background.

1:16 Yeah, fuck yes. Yeah, today's episode we're

1:18 going to be doing a little bit more relaxed.

1:20 We're not going to talk too much about video games.

1:24 It's more or less just going to be us kind of bantering about

1:27 Halloween, the Halloween kind of family life going on and whatnot

1:31 and just really a. Little different.

1:34 Have a have a little chance to just kind of talk about

1:37 ourselves. Yeah, you better sit back, relax

1:39 and don't touch that dial joke, son.

1:41 You're not like. Myself.

1:43 Oh. No what?

1:44 The fuck was that? Don't touch that.

1:50 Dial No. He he like a body.

1:52 Jim Carrey for a second, yes. Yes, I was trying to think like.

1:59 Familiar. If you want to talk about video

2:01 games, I thought of PT when he said that.

2:03 Oh really? Touch that dial now.

2:05 Oh boy, that's what I. Had to go for was like that old

2:09 radio. The radio, the the the Atlantic

2:13 accents. I wasn't going for any accent,

2:16 but yeah. That that game, I, I love that

2:18 game so much. It's.

2:20 Didn't they bury that man? They did, yeah.

2:22 In the fucking desert. I was, I was pretty pissed off

2:25 because I was, I was excited to see like, what the fuck is this

2:28 going to be, you know? And then, yeah.

2:31 Crooked Lisa stalking you in the corner.

2:33 Dude, man. Watching her shadow and behind

2:36 you do. You know she.

2:38 Goes. Outside.

2:41 I didn't know that so. When it first came out I used to

2:45 watch silent commentaries on it so it would just be the sounds

2:49 of the game that you would hear and you can hear her twitching

2:51 behind you. You can hear her.

2:53 Moving outside, just the worst thing of like the dripping blood

2:57 from the refrigerator. You hear it in bass.

3:02 It was just so awful. I hope that got picked up.

3:09 Oh my God, that was so good all. Right.

3:11 Note to self, don't put the mic so close to my wife's face.

3:14 But make sure it's there. But yeah, no, if you want to

3:17 ever listen to that game, listen to a no commentary version.

3:22 It's disgusting, but I love it. I.

3:25 Might do that now. Actually, honestly, there's a

3:26 few on YouTube and you you'll hear them.

3:29 OK, Yeah, you can even pay attention.

3:32 You'll see like, more things in the shadows when you don't have

3:34 some idiot talking to you about what's going on in the game.

3:37 Yeah, yeah. Or them talking about their cat

3:39 while they're running through a building there.

3:43 Yeah, that's fair. Yeah, I mean.

3:47 If anything, for this Halloween, I'm kind of 'cause you said you

3:50 had a costume, I'm kind of excited to see it.

3:52 I think what me and my girlfriend are going to do again

3:54 is wear a ghost costumes and get more pictures 'cause last year

3:58 we kind of got pictures outside your house a little bit.

4:00 Yeah. And then we mainly got pictures

4:02 at my culdesac when it was dark and whatnot, like there's.

4:06 You just don't fall again this. Time.

4:08 Oh my God. Wait, what?

4:10 Wait. Who fell?

4:12 Yeah, it was Shelby that fell. I remember 1 of you guys fell

4:15 and. Got hurt.

4:15 Why are you guys like tripping fell?

4:18 I mean, I remember there like there's a video where she was

4:21 like in the woods, but like, was this at your house that you're

4:24 talking about? OK, I don't.

4:25 I don't remember that. I just, I just remember 1 of you

4:28 2 falling. It doesn't help that our

4:30 driveway is like gravel, gravel and hilly and.

4:33 Holes not really lit up. Not really a driveway.

4:38 Yeah, it doesn't exist. There's some gravel and there's

4:42 some grass like wow poking through.

4:44 It used to be a gravel driveway until her dad just shoveled it

4:50 all off to the son of the house. Oh my God.

4:53 That's awesome. Yeah.

4:55 But yeah, no, we got like, we got pictures of the cul-de-sac.

4:57 There's one like Shelby, she has like, kind of sad eyes.

5:01 I was supposed to have angry eyes but like I look like.

5:03 You look dopey. I just look, it's more it looks

5:06 more like shades, like I'm just like nonchalant or just like

5:09 whatever about things. But it was supposed to be angry.

5:12 But she's got. Top Gun Maverick.

5:14 Ghosts, like there's one like where her legs are just like

5:16 sticking out and like just hurt. Like with her sad eyes, she just

5:19 looks like she just looks defeated.

5:20 And so I put a blue filter on and everything.

5:22 So just really sad. There's one picture where it's

5:26 either me or Shelby, I can't remember.

5:27 Like we were just checking my mailbox.

5:29 Like we literally opened the mailbox and I looked in and took

5:31 a picture. One where she's looking up at

5:33 the street light, one where my hand is like poking from

5:36 underneath the cloth and just on my like while I'm sitting down

5:39 on my chin. It's funny.

5:41 Funny pictures, that's all. Yeah, yeah.

5:44 It's a simple costume, but it was really fun to work to take

5:48 pictures with. I I favorite shit with

5:53 Halloween. I don't know.

5:55 I like, like I don't have that many memories with Halloween.

5:59 Like, I guess like as an adult. We'll make them.

6:03 Trying. Especially with us, you'll

6:05 definitely make a few well. Yes, is this.

6:07 Your first Halloween with us or? No second.

6:10 Second, OK. Second, yeah, OK.

6:12 I mean, to be fair, my family kind of likes Halloween parties

6:17 because my aunt and uncle went to a friend's house as a pair of

6:20 boobs, so. Like 1 individual yes.

6:25 Jesus. And they were tied together in a

6:27 giant bra. I wish I had a photo of it

6:29 still. I'm sorry, I hate those kind of

6:32 couples. That's it's not funny to me.

6:36 It. Was funny when you didn't expect

6:38 it. Yeah, yeah.

6:40 They're like, yeah, it was a big Halloween party.

6:42 We went as a pair of boobs and there's tons of bacon to eat.

6:47 I just, I just, oh. My God, we're just like what

6:49 kind of situations do you 2 get into?

6:52 It's fucking. Hilarious.

6:55 I'm not sure if I would laugh at that even if it was sprung up on

6:57 me. I'm like, it's just, that's

7:00 embarrassing for me to hear. Yeah.

7:03 So you would say it's cringe? Yeah.

7:08 See. Stop trying to use the

7:10 children's lingo. Lingo nowadays man, I'm I'm to

7:17 Wolford I. Feel like I need AI need a

7:19 dictionary to understand anything these kids are saying.

7:21 Yeah. Yep.

7:22 Just giving you how it is. Get out.

7:25 What else? I want to vomit.

7:29 Yes. Halloween.

7:31 I think they Halloween. One of my new favorite

7:37 traditions is giving out Pokémon cards at Halloween.

7:41 It's so the past few years they've been releasing these Boo

7:45 packs for these kids. They've got like packs of three

7:48 cards and just watching a little kid run up and like fistful a

7:53 couple of Pokémon cards. It's just so funny to.

7:55 Me. Yeah, yeah.

7:57 They're like, yeah, they're like, they're like screaming

8:00 because. They they never expected.

8:02 Yeah, I mean, like, it's going to sound kind of shallow, but

8:05 I've always wanted to be that house that's like got the big

8:07 candy bars. Yeah.

8:09 Gifts. I always love those.

8:11 Houses growing up and we don't, that is awesome.

8:13 We don't got a lot of those in our neighborhood anymore.

8:16 That's kind of what this house is because my mom is always

8:18 like, oh, you come to the end of like walk all the way down to

8:21 the end of the street and, you know, give out the big candy

8:23 bars because, you know, they made where there's only half

8:26 houses on one side of the street, which is really fucking

8:29 weird. Yeah, yeah, there's, there's

8:31 just no houses on this. Side No it's not.

8:33 So it's just. Grass.

8:35 To make the investment, to try to go down that street right,

8:41 takes like so much time because it's like you got to make it

8:43 worth it. Like you can hit the houses

8:44 down, but on the way back there's nothing because you

8:47 already hit the houses. Yeah.

8:52 I mean, our our street there resolved my brother's friends,

8:56 their family, they do the whole big candy bars and I've never

9:00 always I'm like candy bar come. On yeah, your neighborhood looks

9:03 nice from what I've seen. Oh yeah, it's.

9:05 Other than that one guy, no. There was a guy, I was outside

9:09 when I was leaving, there was a guy walking his dog.

9:11 He's like, hey, mind if I ask you a question?

9:13 Like, yeah, I guess. And he's like, do you know

9:16 where, Like what house were you just at?

9:18 I'm like, this is fucking weird question.

9:20 First off. Like he was like he was asking

9:23 for the numbers 'cause he was trying to find a specific

9:25 number. He's like, oh, I was at, you

9:26 know, this number. He's like, oh, so I should go

9:28 this way, 'cause like he was looking for a smaller number,

9:31 not a bigger number in terms of, you know, address numbers.

9:34 I'm like, I was just the weirdest.

9:36 I think you even asked or something.

9:38 I don't know, maybe I just told you about it.

9:40 I think he told me, but I don't remember.

9:42 It was just the weirdest fucking thing.

9:44 He's like, OK, I just turned around and walked away.

9:46 I'm like, what just happened? Did I just give my friend

9:49 murdered? Yeah, no, our, our streets

9:54 always been like decent and it's also there have been the past

10:02 couple years for Halloween, there haven't been a lot of kids

10:04 around, but. That's how this neighborhood is

10:09 when I when I was growing. Up, kids.

10:11 That's the thing, yeah. When I was growing up as a kid,

10:13 there was kids everywhere in the street.

10:14 Now there's just no way anywhere.

10:16 Here, Yeah, yeah, like there's still are some, but there's not

10:19 as much. As part part of it is that the

10:21 city does candy giveaways like open open trick or treat bags or

10:27 something. Yeah, it's like when you go to

10:29 somebody's trunk or their car and they've got it's like there,

10:32 it's like a giant parking. Lot of people.

10:34 Yeah, trunk or tree? Yeah, that's what it is.

10:37 Oh my God, it's such. A it's, it's hosted by the

10:40 actual city because they're like, well, it's safer than

10:43 having the kids walk around at night and it's being hosted by

10:47 the police, the firefighters, the the emergency squads.

10:53 And so it makes sense, yes, but at the same time it just ruins

10:59 the rest of the Halloween for regular households.

11:01 'Cause I was gonna say that kills it.

11:03 That's not Halloween. Yeah, it's really not like I

11:06 understand one and like the kids safety, but like they're I

11:09 don't. That was the.

11:10 Thrill. Watch your damn kids.

11:11 How about? That.

11:12 I mean, yeah, exactly. But no.

11:15 We from my grandparents house. We actually live on a larger St.

11:21 that's like a really major hub in the area for the houses down

11:25 there. God.

11:25 Yeah, you, you're living a long ass St.

11:27 Yeah, yeah, our street is. Connecting.

11:30 Streets too, with lots of connecting streets in the center

11:33 of just kind of like the where everybody's living and there's

11:37 tons of haunted houses and tons of people doing stuff.

11:41 So it's like a really big popular spot.

11:43 So we we never really noticed the decline too much, but it

11:48 yeah, yeah, it's always like, oh, there's like 10 or 20 kids

11:51 less than the previous year You. Know I feel really dumb because

11:54 I never thought about this until you said this.

11:56 Right now I'm surprised I never went trick or treating around.

12:00 Your. Neighborhood, it was just with

12:03 friends in general. Like sure, I've done it like

12:05 maybe here or there, but it was always like at my street.

12:08 Yeah, yeah, yeah, No, we had always tons and tons and tons of

12:14 kids come because it's such a nice center of gravity for trick

12:18 or treaters to come through 'cause again, there's tons of

12:21 houses all up next to each other, dense, really densely

12:25 populated, just tons of people doing events at their house like

12:31 haunted, haunted house tours and stuff.

12:34 Like it's it was always a popular spot.

12:37 So even even with truck or treat, it's still very popular,

12:42 but it has gone, it gotten a little bit noticeable,

12:44 especially his, you know, people are moving out in a way for

12:48 jobs, better opportunities and just to have kids elsewhere.

12:52 I mean, a lot of the cities started to become just older

12:56 folks, so. Yeah.

12:58 Not too much activity if you go outside like the the more

13:02 popular spots. I mean, I remember when when we

13:10 got laid off. Yeah, or.

13:13 Whatever we I went to this Halloween party with a couple of

13:19 friends, Tyler and Marcus and our buddy Josh.

13:26 That was that was a fun time that honestly was nice after

13:31 getting laid off. You know, something to do some

13:33 fun. You.

13:34 Know I've also got invited again this year see if I want to go or

13:40 not. But it was it was cool to be

13:46 around a lot of just different people after getting laid off.

13:51 We did like lightsaber battles and shit and that was kind.

13:54 Of cool. That's.

13:56 Awesome. And and they also had this

13:58 fucking this like ring on a string that you have to like

14:04 toss and it like goes in like an arc.

14:07 Oh. Yeah, it goes on a hook.

14:08 Yeah. Was it like one of those

14:09 drinking games or? Kind of, yeah.

14:12 Kind of like a yard game or something.

14:13 Yeah, but it was in the garage, which is funny enough.

14:17 I was pretty good at that. Like there were a couple.

14:20 I got it a couple times. That's awesome.

14:22 I was, man, I was so hyper fixing and I'm like, I'm gonna

14:24 fucking hit this. We're gonna do this.

14:28 OK, but I love those like weird games that you never think of,

14:31 but it's like super fun. It's super simple, but it's

14:33 super fun. Yeah.

14:34 And it's like, why? Why isn't this anywhere else?

14:37 That that's what I mean, like it's, it was so simple.

14:42 Could be looked at as like dumb. Yeah.

14:44 But it was much fun. And everybody was into it too,

14:47 man. Like I had people behind me

14:49 like, come on, come on, come on. You know, like it was, it was,

14:53 it was a nice time like that. That's like that.

14:56 And God, I stayed the night because I wasn't going to be

15:00 driving home because I was drinking.

15:02 And unfortunately, we, me and Marcus had this on the floor.

15:10 Damn. And the carpet was not

15:13 comfortable. Damn.

15:15 And Tyler? Tyler was with us too.

15:18 He slept in the chair next to us.

15:21 He didn't get a slick asleep. None of us did.

15:25 I remember driving home like Oh my fucking God this is bad.

15:29 You brought home and crashed. A few hours after I got home,

15:34 Yeah, yeah, 'cause I, we went to bed at like 4:00 or 5:00 in the

15:38 morning. Shit, I saw you.

15:42 Oh my fucking. God dude, like you you're

15:45 bringing up the games Reminds me this is not Halloween related,

15:47 but I actually tried axe throwing at my old job.

15:51 Oh, you actually did axe throwing?

15:52 Yeah, at my old job, so. It's a fun.

15:55 Time I did, I did like data processing as at my old job and

15:59 I would my, the company I worked with, even though I'm located, I

16:05 had to go to Pennsylvania for this.

16:08 So this is a pretty long drive. Yeah, but I got there.

16:17 I think this is like their summer meeting or something and

16:19 they have the cornhole, whatever the previous years.

16:21 But then there was a yeah, there's going to be an axe

16:23 throwing thing. You have to sign a waiver and

16:25 everything. The first XI threw fucking stuck

16:29 bullseye. I think like just be stuck in

16:32 there perfect like I can get into this.

16:36 This is pretty cool. This is.

16:37 Great. Yeah.

16:39 I'm always like, I wanted to try that like X story.

16:43 It it could be very dangerous. Oh fuck yeah, that thing

16:46 bounces. Yeah, there was 1 I think where

16:48 it didn't like come too close, but I I was still even every

16:51 single time I threw it, I'm like.

16:54 'Cause you're worried, man. Yeah.

16:56 Like just is it gonna come back and get me in the arm if I throw

16:59 it and it rotates too fast, Right?

17:01 Yeah. Or like if it bounces off is it

17:04 gonna like? Come back in.

17:05 Yeah, you can just, yeah. I could see where you'd be

17:09 nervous with. That like I was prepared to like

17:11 jump or dock or move or whatever.

17:14 It reminds me of when I was a kid back in Scouts for February

17:22 for our February camp out. It was always called the

17:24 Klondike camp out because we're camping outside in the snow at

17:29 the coldest time of year. And the whole point of it is to

17:33 for tons of different troops to get together and to compete in

17:38 different games to earn points, which you could use at the end

17:43 of the camp out to get stuff for your troop.

17:48 Like, you could get tents, you could get sleds, cooking

17:52 equipment, stuff that your troop could use for future cook camp

17:57 outs and whatnot. Anyways, one of the activities

18:00 was tomahawk throwing. Oh, God, yes.

18:06 Yeah. So we're pretty much out in an

18:09 open field. There's a bit of wood elevated

18:14 off the ground. That's your target and you're

18:17 throwing the tomahawk and it's essentially just the same as axe

18:21 throwing. Well, what happened to me was I

18:25 threw it, the axe kind of rotated upside down somehow and

18:31 stuck into the wood, and the handle flew out and kept going.

18:40 Oh my God. The X head lodges in and you see

18:43 the handle just continue down the its band.

18:48 Yeah, amazed. It just it, it kept going it

18:54 it's. Dangerous.

18:56 Yeah, it was even. It was even like the people

18:58 hosting it and be like Oh my God.

18:59 Yeah, they're like, oh, that come bad.

19:02 If you want to talk about dangerous, you need to know the

19:04 stupid shit I used to do. Yeah.

19:06 My dad used to give me throwing knives.

19:10 OK. Now, I always grew up in shit

19:13 apartments, and if you know anything about a shit apartment,

19:17 they're small. OK, so when you're like 5 or 6

19:20 years old, throwing knives in the house, what happens?

19:23 They bounce. OK, so my dad used to have this

19:27 dartboard in the wall. It was rubber.

19:32 It had rubber lining all over the dartboard.

19:36 So every time you miss, it bounces and there have been

19:42 times when you see all the scars that got in my body.

19:44 I've hit myself in the leg too many times.

19:47 Imagine like a four inch throwing knife getting chucked

19:51 into the wall. That's the reason my mom doesn't

19:54 let us have this kind of stuff anymore.

19:58 And I can't even have a candle in my own room.

20:02 That sucks man. It really does.

20:04 You really miss out on the candle s'mores.

20:10 I just want my room to smell nice without having to like

20:12 spray a bottle and low effort just, you know, light it and

20:15 leave it and. Then and then you just have the

20:17 candle glow so you can turn off lights, right?

20:20 But but The thing is, is because of my sister, like she had

20:23 candles and she like, you know, left them on without like

20:27 whatever, like she left the room or for the day or whatever, and

20:30 she would just keep them light up and, you know, they have to

20:33 cause a fire or something like that.

20:34 And it's like, I'm not her. Yeah.

20:38 Whatever. Yeah, that's, I know that

20:40 feeling. I mean, you can have a candle in

20:43 there if you have one of those like melters.

20:45 I know it doesn't have the Max. Welters are wonderful.

20:48 Yeah, I mean, I wouldn't mind a wax melter.

20:50 That would be something. You can get special Halloween

20:53 ones for this Halloween episode. Whoa, whoa.

21:00 No, it's not a sponsorship. No, it's.

21:02 Not a. Sponsorship.

21:04 If you go to. One, my wife just really likes

21:06 candle stuff. Do you?

21:08 Know how many candles I have? A lot.

21:10 Oh. Trust me, Shelby likes candles

21:12 too. Like I.

21:12 Have a closet. Oh my God, A.

21:15 Closet full of. Candles.

21:16 Shelby has some. Do you have decorative candles

21:18 too that you cannot burn? Yes.

21:19 Yeah, Shelby has some of those. God.

21:21 You would, Rebecca. I am getting scared.

21:26 Like, so this closet I have. So you know this closet?

21:30 Yeah. It has coffee mugs, baking

21:33 equipment and candles and like random vacuum cleaners because I

21:37 don't know why it's a good place to book though.

21:40 It's so like, if you open this closet, it smells like every

21:44 kind of candle that I have. No my so it smells like a.

21:48 Wax. Like no.

21:50 No, no, it smells like a perfume store.

21:52 Yeah, the perfume. That's exactly me with smell.

21:58 Like so quite literally it's like you open it and you smell

22:01 gourmand, which is like cookies baking and shit, and then you've

22:04 got apples and berries and fruit.

22:06 And. Fruit.

22:07 And it's like, it's like fisting you in the face when you open

22:10 this closet. No.

22:12 Yeah, don't ever open that closet.

22:13 Or nor Yeah. It's the one downstairs.

22:17 The big one. Yeah, that's my big closet.

22:20 That's my story. I don't think I know that closet

22:22 is. Probably wise.

22:25 Yeah, that's a good thing, yeah. Because the kids stink cancels

22:27 it out, so it's kind of neutral down there.

22:30 Anyway. So this isn't.

22:34 Sorry. Gone.

22:34 Gone. You good?

22:35 You good. I'm not.

22:36 Good. I'm just thinking about the

22:38 candles now. I was.

22:39 I was going to say something. I was going to say my.

22:42 Quest here I. Was going to say maybe instead

22:44 of something being under bed you can put candles.

22:45 Under his bed be for real. Yeah, actually, yeah, yeah.

22:50 Yeah. So I know this isn't really

22:53 Halloween related, but the at the time of this recording we

22:59 are underway with the Steam Next best right?

23:03 The whole demo stuff. I think I found another

23:07 obsession. Is it the vampire survivors

23:10 like? No.

23:11 Oh, OK no, it's a simulator. Uh.

23:14 Oh. Drain.

23:18 It's like unclogging drain simulators.

23:21 I saw you playing that. I'm like what the fuck?

23:24 And no, let me. He's been out of a job so long

23:29 that the only way you can get a job is by playing a simulator.

23:33 Virtual loving. So no, it's literally, literally

23:38 you're like this fucking hero in shit.

23:40 You have your plunger on this on your fucking belt and shit and

23:44 you go and you unclog drains like outside and it's 1.

23:51 The game is pretty as fuck, like the water looks really nice,

23:55 like it's a nice looking game. I think it's Unreal Engine 5 or

23:59 something. If it justifies it being a

24:01 plumbing simulator, what are you?

24:02 Doing it's not. It's not a plumbing simulator.

24:04 It's the same shit you're. Still not.

24:05 It's not called that though. Oh.

24:07 Yeah, they probably get copyright strike.

24:09 Five maybe, I don't know, but we.

24:13 You get a PED strike against you for having a plumber in your

24:15 game, That's really nice. To break something.

24:18 The the deck box is destroyed. Nice.

24:22 Does that happen? I think, I think because so

24:24 there's a bunch of shit in this room over the weekend that we

24:27 were recording and I think when they moved this, they kind of

24:31 crossed the button. I think all the cards look fine.

24:34 I mean. That's what matters.

24:36 That's what matters is the cards.

24:37 Yeah, we're talking about matching together.

24:39 Yeah, what's funny is I bought this Magic the Gathering deck

24:41 and I haven't even played it. It's not even slaved.

24:46 OK, well then you. Can play it.

24:49 Yeah, so. Speaking of magic, Dylan's been

24:52 starting to get into magic. Let's go.

24:54 Oh. God.

24:55 Let's go Jess and Dylan. They picked up the Spider Man

24:57 collection. Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

25:01 That's a dog shit set. That's fucking that's below app.

25:05 So he's he's learning how to play it through the mobile app.

25:10 Arena. I think.

25:12 If it's Arena, that's actually a really good, that's a good.

25:14 I have no idea. He just decided to pick it up

25:17 randomly. I think it was a Sunday and he's

25:20 he's sitting on the couch just fiddling away with it.

25:23 I'm like, what are you doing? Play with actual people who know

25:26 what the hell they're doing. Well, no.

25:27 That's the thing though about Arena is that it's a very, very

25:30 good learning tool. But like when, once, once you

25:33 get past the learning part of it, then you can actually like,

25:36 you know, you know what you're doing.

25:37 It's not wrong to play in real life and learn that either, but

25:40 it's just how good of a free online learning tool it is.

25:44 Because that's what I did, and you can play against actual

25:47 people. Or or bots.

25:48 And some of them are fucked, man, like some of these people,

25:52 man, they and. That's why I don't play.

25:53 Or, you know, piss me off. I like having fun, not my debut.

25:57 Yeah, boy did I'm how many days mine were fucking ruined, Mark.

26:04 Yeah. It's not a toy, Ethan.

26:08 It's not a toy. OK, y'all can touch tips in the

26:11 other corner. We'll finish this episode.

26:18 OK. What's your favorite Halloween

26:21 memory when you were a kid? When I was a kid.

26:24 When you were a kid, do you want?

26:26 To go. Yeah, you, you go.

26:31 I'm going to think familiar. I mean, it's, I don't think it's

26:33 exactly a favorite, but it's definitely one that sticks out

26:35 for me. So I guess in a way a favorite.

26:38 There was one year where my parents were like, yeah, let's

26:40 have a Halloween party. And like, I think me and my

26:43 brother could like invite three people each.

26:45 So I obviously invited you and Mark.

26:47 I invited somebody else and then randomly there's this guy named

26:51 Ted at school. And this was elementary school.

26:53 Yeah. And I invited him too.

26:55 And like we all have like custom gravestones, like made for them.

26:57 Like what? I remember this so.

26:59 And we made him rhyme too. And so the the one, the only one

27:03 I remember that I made was Ted is dead.

27:05 Yeah. I couldn't remember what I put

27:09 down for you, Mark. Like.

27:11 Marking by a shark or something, That's awesome.

27:15 Where's? Ted.

27:18 Yeah, I mean, he's a nice guy too.

27:21 Yeah, he was. Ted is dead.

27:23 I just randomly invited. I'm like, you know what?

27:25 Fuck. Like just random.

27:26 I'm not a person to just go up to random people and talk, even

27:29 as a child. Yeah.

27:31 So the fact that I did that, he's like, OK, sure.

27:33 Yeah. I'm like, that worked.

27:35 That worked well. And it was, it was kind of a

27:38 cool party that my parents hosted.

27:40 Yeah, it was great. I.

27:43 Do you still have that? By the way?

27:44 Is that long gone? Yeah, it's long gone dude.

27:47 That's like 2 households split up.

27:50 God. Fair enough, That's fair.

27:54 I wonder if Ted still hasn't. I do probably.

27:56 Not yeah, probably not. Most of us don't keep that shit.

27:59 No, I mean, dude, it's like 20 years down the line, so.

28:03 I mean, I would be the kind of person to keep that just as a

28:06 member. I keep trinkets in a box, not a

28:08 giant toy. Who put you on the planet?

28:14 A sensible soul. I guess the so I want to say as

28:21 a kid for me, but I remember. Be a kid, damn it.

28:25 No. You can't be a kid.

28:29 You never went to Chuck E Cheese's, dude.

28:32 I didn't go to Chuck E Cheese, you Dick I.

28:34 Just got shot at 1:00. Oh, I think I went to one once

28:37 and that's it. I forget you grew up in really

28:39 bad areas. You.

28:41 Know what's even worse is that wasn't even a bad area.

28:42 Oh really? That was Mayfield?

28:44 Oh, like the nice part of. Mayfield, Oh my God.

28:47 Sorry to steamroll you for a second.

28:48 No, no, you're good. You're good.

28:50 No. That's used to it.

28:51 This is so there's a Chuck E Cheese in Golden Gate.

28:55 It's over in Mayfield. Very nice.

28:56 Wow. Decent area I should say.

28:59 Nice compared to where she was living at the time.

29:01 I wasn't that old, but I wasn't that young.

29:04 This was when my brother was like 4 or five years old.

29:07 He used to throw tantrums and everywhere he went.

29:10 Yeah, no, I think he still does. He still does, I think.

29:13 I'll talk about that later. An adult still does.

29:16 So yeah, there there was this man that came in.

29:20 He was very special. He literally whipped out a gun

29:25 and was like, hey, look at this guy's and like literally almost

29:28 shot somebody. Duh.

29:31 It was just some guy came in. No security, might I add you.

29:36 This was before like they even cared about their kids really.

29:39 Because, you know, Chuck E Cheese is one of those places

29:41 where you come in and you sit right down.

29:43 You can you let your hair hang out?

29:45 Yeah, you hope your kids don't get taken by a pedophile.

29:47 Right, right. And quite literally, like people

29:51 could just walk in. So now they require you to have

29:53 a kid with you when you go in there.

29:54 Yes, they do they. Really.

29:56 Yeah, if you're over 18, you cannot.

29:59 Go in there. But this was before that rule.

30:01 So this guy just came in and he was hanging out with his group

30:03 of kids and he's like, hey, kids, look at this.

30:06 And like, literally, he just whips his gun out of his pocket

30:09 because this is Mayfield, you know?

30:10 You know. Fuck.

30:13 Oh, hi, that's great. Normal Saturday.

30:16 Normal Saturday. Anyway, your Halloween special

30:19 over there. I'm.

30:21 Special. I want to bleep that out, yeah.

30:32 Yeah, This is why it's called explicit.

30:34 I'm about a. Fair enough.

30:36 I mean. The people who listen to what

30:38 there? Was I noticed?

30:39 Funny enough I noticed this is in the leisure category.

30:42 Might want to like put in the video games category if it's not

30:44 in there and or games. I think those are.

30:47 This is just the Haberdashery episode to.

30:50 Be fair, it's not actually I talk about video games, no, I

30:53 think. Like because when I look it up

30:54 and I see it, it's like, oh look like.

30:56 Slice of life, yeah. It just says leisure you can.

31:00 Just make a separate category for holidays.

31:02 I mean, so wait, so you're seeing this on what?

31:04 On Spotify, when I look it up, it says leisure.

31:06 I mean, really? Yeah.

31:08 But when I look up another video game podcast that I listen to,

31:10 it says video games. It's a yeah, it's supposed to

31:12 say so why? Does it say leisure?

31:14 That's supposed to say leisure. It's supposed to, I be sure of

31:17 that fucking. Spotify.

31:19 I know, right? We love you Spotify.

31:21 Sponsor us. Yeah, that'd be great.

31:23 I mean, give us money. It's great.

31:25 Actually. No, I love it.

31:28 I like leisure tag. I'm gonna.

31:32 Make leisure. Tag, I'm gonna make sure I

31:35 change the shit now can you just name it Leisure Tag?

31:37 I drive. It's a new game idea.

31:41 Write that down too. Leisure tag.

31:45 Now my freshman. Year play, You're really lazy.

31:50 Brandon, you may speak. My freshman year of high school,

31:55 I remember hanging out with my buddy Zach, like his family for

31:59 Halloween. We that year, I got a lot of

32:03 fucking candy because we, we hung out at his grandma's house.

32:06 Like her house was right by mine, like straight over.

32:10 And we hung out there for a while and then we went around

32:15 the different streets by my, my house and it was so much, dude.

32:22 I had this fucking like pillowcase fucking full of

32:27 candy, dude. It was so much.

32:30 I don't think I ate all of it. You just unlocked poor memories.

32:35 I is it given to speak? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

32:38 OK, OK. So I remember as a kid, I mean,

32:40 like, this is probably a kid sized pillowcases.

32:42 But like, I remember as a kid I would like hold out my

32:44 pillowcase, be like trigger tree and whatnot in this neighborhood

32:47 back when there was kids all around here.

32:50 And I just remember coming home, turning that bag upside down and

32:53 just all on the floor and just like sorting all the candy being

32:56 like, I don't like this one. I like this one.

32:58 I love this one. I.

33:00 Don't know, that's a core memory that I completely forgot about.

33:03 I missed trading candies with my with my brother and my sister.

33:06 I don't. Think I ever traded candies just

33:07 like just whichever ones we didn't like we put like in a

33:10 communal bowl and whoever wanted to.

33:12 Date. Yeah.

33:12 No, we, we, my sister, brother and I, we laid ours out,

33:17 separated them into little piles.

33:19 And then we started negotiating with each other.

33:22 Yes. Trying to trade for the best

33:24 pieces. That's how it should be done,

33:25 yeah. And see that that wasn't me and

33:28 my brother. Yeah, a piece of candy.

33:33 We did ours the smart way though.

33:35 So most of my life I hung out with my dad and we both had the

33:40 common brain of take two pillowcases.

33:43 So when you would go to neighborhoods they'd give you a

33:45 shit load of candy and you run out of space in your bag.

33:48 You take the next bag that's empty.

33:51 Sometimes if you're lucky, you get the old people that forget

33:54 you, so you go back to those houses and you switch more.

34:01 That's awesome. We were so bad.

34:04 And I felt bad because like you can always tell the people that

34:08 really, really had the little kids that should have just been,

34:11 you know, taking their handfuls of candy and leaving.

34:13 No, we were. We were going to houses that

34:15 gave the big candy bars and taking them all.

34:19 Aw. We were bad.

34:22 I mean, I get it, but also, aw, yeah.

34:25 We were. We were bad.

34:27 Well, all right, we have a recording.

34:32 The police will come for. Cotton 4K.

34:35 Cotton 4K. Ma'am it was more of like 2K

34:38 background. Wait, wait wait, what's 4K?

34:41 An audio version. I don't. 4K Good speaker, good

34:47 speaker, good listening. I guess that would be.

34:50 Cotton base. Cotton base.

34:55 Look at them. Trouble.

34:56 What? Were you gonna say sorry?

34:59 I I think that would be considered lossless.

35:06 Cotton lossless cotton losses. I got.

35:10 I think that's probably about as far as you can go with that.

35:14 I mean, it hurts. Decibels.

35:20 No, that's you. That's.

35:21 Your cotton decibels. Cotton decibels.

35:25 See, that's a face. She regrets for burying me I.

35:30 Wouldn't say I know a certain somebody and Marcus told this

35:34 story about how this person, at first they were like, man, why

35:38 is he screaming so much? But then afterwards like he's,

35:41 no, he's quiet. I can't go to sleep without him

35:44 yelling. Yeah, we have very therapeutic

35:52 screams, apparently. Did you guys like to go to

35:55 haunted houses a lot when you were?

35:57 Growing up? Nope.

35:58 No, actually never went to one. Really I need to change that.

36:03 Well, you saw how I was a haunted house, I think.

36:06 I've been to a haunted maybe like a carnival, like a haunted

36:10 house, not like an actual. So controversial yet brave. 7

36:13 Floors of Hell is kind of like the bitch want to go to, so if

36:17 you want one, that's that. That one's.

36:19 Like a bitch one. Yeah, if you want one that's

36:21 like not really scary, that would be for you.

36:24 Me personally, I'm going to shout out to Akron, Akron

36:28 Schoolhouse and Laboratory. If you want your shit rocked,

36:30 that's where you go because they can touch you.

36:33 It's even better. Yeah, I'll.

36:34 Look at the center fever and shit that yeah.

36:36 But like I'm OK with it because like so when I was a kid I had a

36:41 fear of leather face for obvious.

36:43 Reasons. There, I think it's the end of

36:47 laboratory. There is a section that you go

36:50 through that it's just Leatherface chasing you through

36:54 and he could touch you. So he would be grabbing kids by

36:57 the arm and yanking them around. So the only way you would not be

37:02 allowed to be touched is if you had like a it was like a light

37:04 on your chest. I think it was like a glow

37:06 stick, but I didn't have a glow stick because I wasn't told that

37:09 you could do that. Oh no.

37:14 I was like maybe less than 10. Oh no, did.

37:19 You pee your pants. No, damn it, I did scream like

37:23 bloody murder because this was one of those costumes that looks

37:29 believable. It was one of.

37:31 Those ones where it looks like a professional.

37:33 No, no. He's gonna steal my skin.

37:35 No. It was so bad to the point that

37:40 at the end of it, I think I ran. So at the end of this part, you

37:44 get to go through a school bus. Yeah.

37:46 And there's people on the school bus.

37:50 I fucking booked it. So because that was the ending

37:54 of it. That was the end of the whole

37:55 thing. I fucking ran through it so

37:57 fast. I think I saw an actor look back

37:59 at me like, is she OK? I've never, I've never had such

38:07 a bad experience in my life, but I'll never forget it because I

38:09 loved it. Like as I get older I think

38:12 about it more and more and I just want to take you and

38:14 torture you with it. I look, I don't know how that's

38:18 gonna go cuz you saw me through some floors of hell.

38:21 Yeah, but this? Fucking with the actors, trying

38:23 to make friends. But like I said, you know,

38:26 controversially a break, but that one really sucks.

38:28 Yeah, it's literally, I mean, the one kid was high.

38:31 Yeah. We we were going through this

38:32 Egyptian building. So the way 7 floors of Hull

38:35 works, each building is a different floor.

38:37 It's a different theme. So the one building was like

38:39 this Egyptian cavern that you can I think it was a pyramid,

38:43 what it was and you can walk through these rooms.

38:45 It was muddy sand, just a disgusting.

38:48 Yeah, but because it was so dark, they actually give you a

38:51 Lantern for this one. Oh God.

38:53 There were these, I think they were high school kids.

38:56 They had to have been. But this one girl, she followed

39:00 us because we literally couldn't see 2 feet in front of her face.

39:04 And she was just talking about getting high with one of her

39:06 friends at the end of the tunnel.

39:09 That's how jank that 1 is. OK, yeah.

39:13 It makes me so sad. Hey, that's fuck.

39:18 Yeah. So some of the houses are great.

39:20 So like there's a there's an asylum one on there that was.

39:23 Pretty good. That one's probably my favorite.

39:27 I don't think we got to do that one.

39:28 I think that was the only one we skipped because it was already

39:30 closing time. Yeah, but it was so cool.

39:34 You can watch all. So this one has actors that walk

39:37 around and each actor's theme to the area, and you would have

39:41 like patient zero walking around, fucking twitching and

39:45 following you around the area. Yeah, really.

39:51 What was it, the barn one that you were messing with the guy?

39:54 Yeah, there's one. It was a, it was a corn maze and

39:58 we're walking through. Guy walks up to his.

40:01 He's like the last one with me, has to stay with me forever.

40:06 And so Emma and our our two friends go through past and I'm

40:10 staying there. I'm like oh OK cool.

40:12 Look I'm like you like football. The guy just starts chuckling.

40:18 When I tell you this one is like so jank.

40:21 What is? He starts.

40:22 He starts chuckling. He's like, go on, get out of

40:24 here. I'm like, OK, I thought it was

40:27 beeping. I was like, I finally got one of

40:29 them to pray. You know, going back to the the

40:32 Akron one, there is a really cool room.

40:35 It's actually a bathroom. So the schoolhouse in laboratory

40:38 is quite literally in an abandoned schoolhouse.

40:41 Oh, I'm good. Oh hell.

40:42 Yeah. It's in a legit abandoned

40:44 schoolhouse. Not even kidding.

40:45 Like I'm talking chasmophobia. Creepy.

40:47 That's fucking cool. Yeah, so there's a bathroom

40:50 where there's a skeleton sitting on the toilet and he'll actually

40:54 talk to you because there's somebody behind like the it's

40:57 like microphoned to a person in like a warehouse somewhere who's

41:01 talking to you. And he'll sit there and make

41:03 jokes and laugh at you. It's it's towards the end of the

41:07 schoolhouse, but it's so funny. And it's actually one of those

41:10 ones that's hard to find because people just leave it.

41:12 They run through it. Yeah, that's that's.

41:15 Fun. He'll start singing too, I

41:16 think, if I remember. Yeah.

41:19 But it's, it's just a guy on a mic, you know, somewhere else.

41:22 Walking you through a camera. Yeah, Yeah.

41:25 Well, she's Speaking of phasmophobia, Halloween stuff,

41:30 Good old blood moon that. That's just been kind of fun,

41:34 like a life. I'm just trying to play it more,

41:36 but some people don't like to play that game too much.

41:38 Well, I've been having a good time.

41:40 In the home, sure, you'll play it with Brandon or by yourself.

41:46 Mark's never played it by himself.

41:47 I'm. Not saying Brian, I'm saying

41:49 you. Oh, I play it by myself.

41:50 I don't care honestly, it's more scary by yourself.

41:54 Oh yeah, that's how every hurricane is even lethal

41:56 company. I refuse to just lethal fucking.

41:58 Lethal. Company honestly I'll be real

42:00 with you guys I don't get scared from.

42:02 That it's not scary, no. But playing alone though, I

42:05 don't know why it's. Playing alone is definite.

42:08 It's different. Yeah, now with friends, it's.

42:13 Just so. Stupid.

42:14 It's more funny. It's a shit post SIM.

42:17 Yeah, like, I know it doesn't sound like well-being by

42:20 yourself is scary. When you're in a dark room by

42:23 yourself with random noises, yeah.

42:25 Yeah. It's the ambiance.

42:28 Yeah, it definitely. Is it's definitely the ambiance

42:32 unless you like odd the fucker then that's who's my art cards.

42:38 No, Mark has this habit of lifting his arm up and whapping

42:40 the wall. He does it at our house too.

42:44 Not even kidding. It's not hollow.

42:52 Well Speaking of haunted houses as well, did you guys ever like

42:55 when you were trick or treating go to houses that were made into

42:57 haunted houses? I have never known.

42:59 Really. No, this this neighborhood never

43:01 did it. And we never we, I don't think.

43:03 Yeah, I, I think. Growing up, I don't think we

43:05 ever left this neighborhood to trick or treat.

43:08 Yeah, maybe so. Maybe like my sisters or

43:11 something once but. So not really like haunted

43:14 house, but they like made it like creepy like walking up to

43:20 like the door to. Knock or whatever like.

43:22 That's probably about it for me. You guys would have loved our

43:24 house then because again, most of my childhood was with my dad.

43:30 Me. We were fans of horror and

43:33 anything gross and I have some fond memories of the ones we

43:37 used to do, but the best one I think was our butcher shop.

43:40 My garage has seen a lick of paint a few times and.

43:47 Paint. Oh yeah.

43:49 We used to put on some cool ass haunted houses because my dad

43:53 was somebody who he, he, he kind of took inspiration from places

43:59 like Akron with like scaring the shit out of kids walking around.

44:04 So I would be the one who would do the candy bit.

44:07 And I remember this butcher shop.

44:09 You might have seen pictures of it.

44:11 Honey, I've seen pictures. We tripped out the whole garage

44:14 to look like a butcher shop. OK?

44:16 And we included, like the plastic on the walls, pig

44:20 bodies. Thing.

44:22 Oh yeah, no, we we went I. Remember some of the props that

44:26 you guys had left? Yeah, we in the middle of the

44:29 table there was a guy whose head would spin.

44:31 Oh my God. And that's where we would put

44:34 the candy is right by the head and there's like a sensor bar

44:36 and he wouldn't move. Jesus.

44:38 Christ, Yeah, No. These poor children we had, our

44:40 neighborhood was little children, too.

44:43 I remember. And I still think about it to

44:45 this day. I wonder what happened to this

44:46 poor girl. She was in this Cinderella

44:48 costume. Cute as can be, sweet as pie,

44:52 little girl. My father was in a pig mask with

45:00 a butcher's outfit. He looked like honestly from

45:04 Texas Chainsaw Massacre bad like blood head to toe.

45:08 He had the mask on. He was chasing this poor.

45:14 Girl and. I felt so bad because I think

45:18 she's, if I remember, I think she was crying because we used

45:22 to have this tree that blocked the view of the garage and he

45:27 would hide behind the tree. And if you know anything about

45:30 my street, we don't have St. lights.

45:32 So you've got these little kids with these little tiny

45:35 phasmophobia flashlights, these little dinky things that you,

45:40 the ones that the ones that you get for a dollar at like the

45:44 dollar store, you can't see nothing with them.

45:47 My dad would hide behind this tree and I remember this girl

45:51 because she came screaming out from our driveway because he hid

45:55 behind the tree. It's it's where that speed limit

45:59 sign is, is where the tree used to be.

46:01 Really. Yeah.

46:02 We had a massive tree right there.

46:05 Oh my goodness. I I've never seen it.

46:07 A parent look so mad. Oh, I'm sure.

46:10 I think it was this little girl's dad that was with her and

46:13 he, he like picked her up and walked back the way they came.

46:16 I'm pretty sure they went home. I felt so bad.

46:20 But if I, if I remember, like we had the weirdest of props for

46:24 that one too. We also had a mummy by the front

46:27 door that it's eyes would glow and move with you.

46:31 Yeah. Oh, what the?

46:33 Fuck, I wasn't kidding when I said we used to do some crazy

46:36 ass shit in our house. Yeah, we used to light up the

46:38 driveway. We used to have just banging ass

46:42 shit. I remember this other house that

46:44 used to do this, but they would actually open up the whole house

46:48 and you could walk in their front door and the whole house

46:51 would be tripped out and you would have kids going through

46:54 this fucking house and then leaving out the garage.

46:58 Holy shit yeah our street was wild.

47:01 That's interesting. OK.

47:03 I just don't see a whole lot of people doing it anymore, which

47:05 is so sad. That kind of reminds me of like

47:08 you were standing outside in the Slender Man cock.

47:10 Oh yeah, I forgot about that. You were slender.

47:14 Man, oh honey, we had a Slender Man phase camp, Yes.

47:17 He had a very big. We both did.

47:19 My buddy Zach went as. We used to write fan fiction

47:22 band. No, no.

47:23 But he was like, standing like his, like, you know.

47:26 I stood still. And so at my old house, we had

47:30 two trees out in the front yard that were just two identical

47:34 trees. And it was like right next to

47:38 the sidewalk. And I was dressed up in a full

47:41 suit with, I couldn't afford a morph suit.

47:45 So my grandmother made kind of like a, oh God, what was the

47:52 material? I think it was like a pantyhose

47:54 hat with like 2 little eye slits for me to see through.

47:59 And what I did was I would just stand propped up on the trees

48:04 just waiting for people to walk by.

48:07 And as they continued down, I started walking behind them.

48:11 Those were always my favorite houses, the people that would

48:14 just stand in their yard and watch you and then follow you.

48:16 Yeah, because we used to have a bunch of those, too.

48:19 We would have like Jason and Freddy Krueger just hiding

48:21 somewhere and just watching you, and then all of a sudden they're

48:24 just following these kids around.

48:26 Yeah. Those were always so good, Mark.

48:30 We should do that again. Yeah.

48:32 And I know that we need to get back into it.

48:36 We used to do so much shit for Halloween.

48:38 Yeah, our Halloween parties are a little lame these days.

48:42 I wouldn't say they're blame. Nice, nice and.

48:45 They're tamer. They're tamer than what we used

48:48 to. Have Yes, they're tamer.

48:49 I mean, I still think about the one Halloween party we had when

48:52 we had a waffle party. Oh my God.

48:54 You're right, and your dad was there too.

48:58 He's my dad so my dad has this misconception that 20 somethings

49:03 should be getting high or drunk. He he shows up and he's just

49:08 gonna sit in there. We're playing board games and

49:11 and whatnot. I'm making.

49:12 Waffles in the kitchen. He's kind of looking around

49:15 like, what the fuck are you guys doing?

49:17 You know our friend group, right?

49:18 So we're all a bunch of idiots and nerds.

49:21 You. Yeah, we don't do any of that.

49:23 Yeah, he just shows up like how do you do, fellow kids and.

49:26 I'm ready for some drugs and alcohol.

49:29 He. Came in high.

49:30 I know. Remember he was getting

49:32 irritating in the kitchen when I was trying to make the waffles.

49:34 Yeah, he. Game in pregaming.

49:37 Yeah, he pregamed, came over our house.

49:46 All right. And here he was greeted by

49:48 waffles and board games. Yeah, we were.

49:51 This was at the time we were still doing our board game

49:53 parties. Yep, and this was before we even

49:56 like were playing a Switch or, you know, doing stuff on Steam.

49:59 This. Was like early on when this was,

50:00 we both moved in together. Yeah, this was not much.

50:04 My God, it was like the first three months living together.

50:07 Yeah. Well, even even before that.

50:08 Your grandparents house, Mark. We used to used to do board game

50:12 parties there. Oh yeah, or Jack Box as well.

50:16 That was that was it, board games, card games or Jack Box?

50:18 I need Jack box to make like a Halloween game like.

50:24 Yeah, but. One party mode doesn't do with

50:27 one. Yeah, I don't.

50:28 I've never like, everyone goes to murder.

50:31 This is going to be fucking controversial.

50:34 But like everyone swamps the trivia party.

50:36 Like, yeah, that's the best rule.

50:37 Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm like.

50:39 It just shows you how much of an idiot you are if you don't know

50:41 trivia. But no no, that's the thing that

50:42 I don't mind the trivia, it's just everyone wants the swamp to

50:45 play it and I get so bored of it.

50:47 I get bored of things fast and constantly playing the best game

50:51 mode. I'm like let's try drawful.

50:54 I love TKO or something TKO. Is OK, I'm.

50:57 Just saying like, let's do something fucking different.

50:59 Like, I like espionage. I like that new one with the

51:02 sounds. Oh, I love that.

51:05 The make your sound thing, yeah. Yeah.

51:07 Voting on the sounds that are. Really.

51:09 That's an old one. That's from.

51:10 Is that old? That's from.

51:11 Yeah, That's earwax. That's from 2:00.

51:13 That's from 2. I thought that was newer.

51:15 Ones no. Oh wow, I love that one.

51:18 I. Love that one too, Oh my God.

51:19 It's so funny. But I swear that Jack Box was

51:22 making some type. Of they have a new one coming

51:25 out, I don't think it's Halloween themed.

51:26 They. Constantly have a.

51:27 New one, they made the adult one and apparently that one was just

51:31 really disappointing. Yeah, it was not that.

51:33 I mean, if you're going to do an NSFWI feel like it really needs

51:36 to be like Out in the Abyss of Nasty, yeah, yeah.

51:41 Yeah, I mean, because if you see cars against humidity, people

51:44 they've already gotten, they've already gotten a little, oh,

51:50 what's the term used to it from Cards Against Humanity?

51:56 So you have to turn it up a notch.

51:58 Right. That's one of the sad thing

51:59 about the game, though, is when you get so used to it, it just

52:02 doesn't be funny anymore. Yeah.

52:04 That's the problem. Yeah, it's just no longer taboo.

52:07 So now you have to go to an even bigger taboo.

52:09 I mean, my brother's got the like, huge fucking.

52:12 Are the bigger. And there's like so much there.

52:16 And there's also ones that they like they.

52:20 Oh yeah. Yeah, and some of those, let me

52:23 tell you. Wow, I'm like, man, my brother,

52:28 I don't know him. Apparently it's.

52:30 Probably wise. Some fucked up shit.

52:34 I mean, it was funny as fuck, Yeah, but yeah, when you draw

52:37 one of those cards and you're like, wow, wow.

52:41 My. Well, I guess this is where I

52:43 get my jokes from. That's always a sibling, isn't

52:47 it? Yes.

52:51 Oh, God. But now I'm looking forward to

52:55 the Halloween party this year. Because.

52:59 Not just because of, you know, but I really want to see you

53:04 guys play Sonic Cross Worlds, yeah.

53:05 Yeah. I see it.

53:07 That's all he's there for is after.

53:08 After we're done playing Sonic Rock.

53:09 Yeah, I'm just gonna back it up. Why?

53:11 You got fucking off. No, I think he's gonna be

53:14 babysitting his friend and me. I think that's what's gonna.

53:16 Have happened, we should play more board games.

53:18 I mean I want to get back into board or just current.

53:20 Games or whatever. So I kind of thought about that.

53:22 I told Mark like this time I kind of want to start with board

53:25 games because we always just jump straight to the Switch.

53:27 Yeah, yeah. Do that I want to do that.

53:30 Other tumble. I want to do it again.

53:32 I want. To do it.

53:33 Again, you guys ever want to tumble?

53:35 Play tumble. It's such a good game.

53:37 Me. And Jack just building the.

53:38 It's it's like it's just the dumbest game.

53:42 It is, It is, and I forgot how stupid it.

53:45 Is honestly what's what's really funny is when you mentioned that

53:48 I'm like Oh my God, I remember playing that in the 1st grade,

53:50 but like I was thinking of a different.

53:52 I think it was like topple or something.

53:53 Yeah, I know. Shocking about.

53:56 But tumble. Oh my God.

53:57 I feel like we need, I feel like we need to revisit Monopoly,

54:01 Mark. Oh God.

54:04 Oh no. Monopoly.

54:06 It could be even worse. We could do teams again.

54:08 I. Know.

54:10 I mean, I actually got some games too.

54:13 Mark won't play Monopoly with me for a lot of reasons.

54:18 I mean, you probably played it so much like that's all.

54:20 No, she cheats. I do not cheat, I like how you.

54:24 Say that when she's sitting right next to you, like.

54:26 No, I don't cheat. No, the problem is is Mark can't

54:29 figure out how to play the game. She cheats.

54:32 He doesn't like it because he always loses because he doesn't

54:36 know how to play the board. There are certain properties and

54:39 certain places that make you the most money and fuck your

54:42 friends. He hasn't quite figured that out

54:46 yet after like the 15 years we've been playing it together.

54:50 You got to get that Park Place. No.

54:52 I I like. Getting I bought Barclays.

54:54 I like getting the red specifically because there's one

54:56 singular chance card that's like, oh, go straight to this

54:59 red. Yeah, that's immediate money.

55:02 Well. If you want the intuition, it's

55:04 dark green and red that are the best.

55:06 Yeah, yellow's OK, Orange is. I like to go powder blue.

55:13 Yeah, I pout. I like the baby blue and I like

55:17 the I like the brown right at the beginning.

55:20 Those ones are funny, yeah, especially if you have hotels

55:22 and. It's just like a $400.00.

55:23 It's just already like how did this get so bad?

55:26 Well, The thing is, is because they're also cheap to acquire,

55:29 yeah. Because they start off at like

55:30 25, like, Oh yeah, that's 25. Like I've like, I've only played

55:35 Monopoly a handful of times. Me too, so I don't really know

55:39 everything. I have a.

55:39 Fallout 1. I know you do.

55:41 I know I could just see it now and then.

55:44 They're. Challenge me any day and I'll

55:50 play with. You I'm gonna get fucked.

55:53 I haven't played it in a very long time so I may be out of

55:55 touch. We'll see.

55:57 Mark, we should play here. I'll land and see again.

55:59 Oh yeah, that's fun. That was.

56:00 Fun. No, I wanna play.

56:01 I wanna play stratego. Oh yeah, it has to be the sci-fi

56:04 stratego. Yeah, I like.

56:06 Never played it too, but I'll do it anyway.

56:08 You've never played Stratego? Finally.

56:10 I've not done a lot of board. Games we've gotta play stratego

56:13 like it's one of the best. You want to play a game with me?

56:16 I don't fucking trust you. OK, so note to you, never play a

56:21 strategy game with Mark because he cheats.

56:23 I I will definitely play strategy against don't play

56:26 chess. With Mark because he cheats.

56:28 I don't. I don't cheat.

56:29 It's called castling. He cheats.

56:32 Castling is not. Cheating.

56:34 It's actually called on Poisson get flopped.

56:36 It's. Only if you're French.

56:38 What was? That interaction?

56:42 It's not even the same move on Poisson is when you have a, you

56:47 have a pond next to another pond.

56:50 You put it behind the other pond, get up.

56:52 It points the pond on the. Board, so there.

56:54 And it only applies if you're French it.

56:57 Only applies in market. What if what if I do the the

57:01 London opening? Huh.

57:02 Will that ship make your shake your boots?

57:05 And you face. Oh, OK.

57:07 Wow, he does not like that. He does not like the London

57:10 opening. Man, that's fucked up now.

57:14 There's such a good time. Well, so there is.

57:17 Yeah, chess and strategic. I can't move.

57:21 Halloween, Yeah. Board games not.

57:24 Not video games, Podcast. Not.

57:26 Spiders and skeleton cats, no. So there is.

57:30 I got to send a picture of it, but there's a board game that my

57:32 brother does not want. Anymore.

57:35 And he's like, you friends play board games.

57:37 Unfortunately, Like, yeah, I know Mark and Emma do.

57:41 And he's like, well, they can have it if they want.

57:44 I gotta go see what it is. I don't know if you guys know

57:47 what it is, but we'll do you. Like know what it's called?

57:51 I can't, I can't remember exactly what.

57:54 It's a pretty easily sized fucking box, so.

57:59 Glue Maven no OK. I'll send a picture.

58:05 Of it, we really wanted to play board games on Halloween.

58:07 I have some Halloween themed board games, it just take a

58:10 long. Time no fun than that, no.

58:14 I have a it's a haunted house one that you actually build the

58:17 map. Oh yeah, but we're.

58:19 And I also have an Edgar Allan Poe game that's kind of like

58:24 D&D. Oh, get the one where Jared

58:27 described the. Rules and Jesus.

58:28 Christ. And he fucked me over because of

58:30 it. Yeah, yeah, I died on the first

58:32 round or something. I'm like OK.

58:34 Cool, cool. It's like.

58:36 A weird D&D where you have like a dungeon master, sort of.

58:40 It's hard to explain about the rules with me, but it's really

58:43 cool game. If you remembered the Masquerade

58:47 poem from Edgar Allan Poe, it's based off that one where you're

58:51 going to different rooms that. Have the different color rooms.

58:55 If you remember that poem, each room had a different theme for

58:58 the different masquerade. Yes, Yeah.

59:00 So it's kind of like that where you have to go certain ways on

59:03 the board. With it basically you have to

59:05 end the game with the most prestige.

59:08 That's either by attacking other players gaining favour with the

59:13 Dungeon Master. Or Red Death kills you.

59:15 Or Red Death kills whoever else is there in your last one

59:19 standing. It's.

59:21 A It's a It's a game. Yeah, it's a game.

59:25 What are the games? I've got quite a collection of.

59:29 Games. Yeah, I.

59:30 Wonder if you guys have heard of 13 Dead End Drive?

59:34 I have, yeah. It's you've talked about this.

59:38 Before the to us, yes, the anger video game nerd he did also

59:44 bored James and he went over a bunch of board games.

59:47 And that's one of them. He did talk to us about this.

59:50 It's. Similar to Clue but it's it's

59:57 like who's going to be the killer shit?

59:59 Like. Like I don't have the shit in

1:00:02 front of me so I can't really explain it too well.

1:00:04 That's kind of how Beware is like beware as you build the

1:00:07 map, you know, then you find a screw, you trigger a certain

1:00:09 event, then depending on what event triggers it could be

1:00:13 anybody, could be the killer. This game, it's, it's such a

1:00:17 cool game because you can build the attic, the basement, you

1:00:20 build a kitchen. It's some kind of shit.

1:00:23 Yeah, I think the attic was actually.

1:00:25 It was an expansion. Expansion.

1:00:27 Expansion. So you know, what's really funny

1:00:29 is they make different editions of that game.

1:00:30 Yeah, I think I have second edition.

1:00:34 I think so. I think I have the 1st edition.

1:00:36 Yeah. I think I actually have the

1:00:39 extra dicing characters too. I I think the one time we

1:00:42 actually got pretty far into it, we got a really complicated

1:00:45 encounter. Yeah, we got to the end of the

1:00:47 game where it makes absolutely no.

1:00:49 Sense, OK. Well, the one we had was oh, I

1:00:53 became the killer. I have an invisible token and

1:00:56 now I have to keep track of where I am on the map all the

1:01:00 time. My.

1:01:00 Brother knows the enemy. Yeah, I think so.

1:01:02 I remember this. It's like, oh, this, this thing

1:01:04 can't die. It'll come back because like,

1:01:06 there's my brother and then there's the, the, the whatever,

1:01:09 and this thing cannot die. You can kill it, but it'll come

1:01:12 back unless you have a certain item.

1:01:14 I had that certain item, I killed the monster.

1:01:17 So I'm like, oh, what? Yeah.

1:01:19 Like do we just kill my brother in the game or like.

1:01:23 When like. Do we win?

1:01:24 Yeah, we just. I think the.

1:01:25 Problem is is we read it and just didn't understand.

1:01:28 It. Yeah, and.

1:01:29 It comes with like a booklet that explains like each event,

1:01:32 each thing. There's like 40 or so different

1:01:34 events. Too, Yeah.

1:01:35 But the house can flood. It's such a cool game.

1:01:38 Or, or, or one of them was when I was playing over at one of my

1:01:41 other friends that actually introduced me into this game.

1:01:44 This is way back when. There's an event where, like the

1:01:46 bird is actually on the sorry, the house is on the back of a
