People joke about OCD like it's being neat, but real ocd, it's terrifying, intrusive thoughts you cannot control. I know because I have it. The good news is OCD is one of the most treatable mental health conditions and that's why I want to tell you about NO cd. OCD is a serious and highly misunderstood condition that causes people to get stuck in a cycle of stressful, unwanted thoughts and repetitive behaviors, which can become debilitating as well as exhausting. OCD can focus on anything and often targets the things we care about the most, causing us to question core values, beliefs or feelings about our loved ones. Because OCD is so misunderstood and can look so different from person to person, it's often misdiagnosed or not recognized at all. But with the kind of right help from a specialized therapist who truly understands what you're experiencing and is trained to treat it, OCD is extremely manageable. At nocd, every therapist deeply understands ocd. NOCD is the world's leading OCD treatment provider and all of their licensed therapists go through extensive training to recognize and effectively treat ocd.

A
Are we doing good? I feel like we're falling apart.

C
We're not doing great.
- [03:39]
B
Awful.

A
Let's not lie to the people, okay? We've never lied to them. Let's not.

A
Dude, did you see some body language expert said because you know how we did the lie detector test.
- [03:55]
B
Yes.
- [03:55]
A
She made a. And this scares me because this lady is a certified body language expert. She analyzed the lie detector test that I did in my body language and she said that I lied on everything.
- [04:08]
D
What?
- [04:08]
A
I was like, don't quit your day job, okay? Cuz that like, bro. She said, because I would like shake my head yes. Which I wasn't shaking my head. Yes. I was going. Yeah. I was going like listening. And like I. You know, you're under so much pressure when you're. When you're strapped to those wires. So it's like you don't want to move. You can only say yes or no. And you know, like that's crazy. I know, I know. I was just like, you know what? I'm gonna let her have this moment.
- [04:33]
B
People do anything for content.
- [04:35]
A
Yeah. I'm telling you. I'm telling you. What's been going on in you guys's lives?
- [04:41]
B
Just life in. I'm sick.
- [04:44]
A
Mimi came in eating baby food today.
- [04:46]
B
Yeah, I'm on a liquid diet.
- [04:49]
A
Poor baby things.

A
Isn't that disgusting?

B
Girl, Matt.

So bad I'll have diarrhea and my will be falling out, but I'll be like £3 later.

Exactly.

C
Can you cough on me?
- [05:05]
B
Yes.
- [05:06]
C
Something. Give me something.
- [05:07]
A
How about you?
- [05:08]
B
Hey. Hey.
- [05:09]
A
You've had a rough week.
- [05:10]
B
Yeah.
- [05:10]
C
Had a rough weekend.
- [05:11]
A
Are we allowed to talk about it or no?
- [05:14]
C
You can.
- [05:14]
B
He would.
- [05:15]
C
He would love that. My dad's brother passed on Friday. He had A heart attack two weeks ago, like two Sundays ago. But it's crazy because like I feel like he almost knew because he called me the day before and like he calls me out of the blue like every once in a while, whatever. But it was just crazy. He called me like 24 hours before. It was just like he knew. But it was a widow maker, maker, widow maker heart attack which like only like 12, I think survived that. And yeah, he was just. He was basically on life support for like two weeks.
- [05:51]
B
And it was very touch and go too.
- [05:53]
C
Like, yeah, he'd be like, go up.
- [05:55]
B
Yeah.
- [05:56]
C
And as soon as he was like doing good, it.
- [05:57]
B
It was like something else.
- [05:59]
C
Lungs are filled with fluid and it just like his body just gave out. And it's just. It's wild because I just lost my aunt like in April. So it's crazy because I always. On my vision board, I'm like all my f. Like I'm always grateful for all my family still here. And I was just like, not this year. A But my aunt and uncle were like the funniest people ever. So I know every like prank that's going to happen to me is going to be them.
- [06:25]
B
Like, cuz your aunt came back and like messed with you for a while. Yes, for like a good hot minute.
- [06:30]
C
She really did. I was downstairs at my house one time and I remember I was thinking about her because I just made a post that said, like, I regret not doing a makeup lesson with her. Like I thought I had enough time and the light downstairs flickered and it was one that's connected to multiple lights and only that one flickered. And I remember I went and asked my mom, I was like, your lights flicker downstairs? And she was like, no, they're brand new. And I was like, that was definitely.
- [07:00]
B
Yeah.
- [07:01]
C
And it was right when I was literally thinking about her.
- [07:03]
A
You were probably thinking about her also because she was around you. Yeah, because that's what happens. Like whenever I get those visions, you think about. That's how I see people, is I think about them and I can see them.
- [07:16]
B
Wow.
- [07:16]
C
Yeah, that. That was odd to me. There was a. There's been a few more. I can't remember them, but like, I'm hoping I have some with my uncle. But like I said, he, you will.
- [07:27]
A
Yeah. When a spirit. Sorry, I didn't mean to cut you off. When a spirit first crosses over, that's when you're going to feel them the most. That's when I felt my mom the most too. Except for my dad. My dad stayed away because he knew I was mad, but my mom.
- [07:38]
C
Yeah, I don't feel her anymore. It was, like, right when it happened.
- [07:42]
B
Yeah.
- [07:42]
C
Yeah.
- [07:43]
A
It's. It's like, it takes them a minute. I don't know. Maybe some psychics, if you're in the chat, can answer that. Because I've always felt the most connection with the spirit was right when they leave. And then after that, it's kind of hard to, like, find them. Put the feelers out.
- [07:58]
C
I also haven't processed this because it's just.
- [08:01]
B
Yeah, we're talking about.
- [08:03]
C
I feel so bad for my dad. He lost two siblings within six months. Yeah, like, within. Literally, like, he passed almost like a day. Six months.
- [08:14]
A
My aunt Wild, has your dad gotten his heart checked and stuff?
- [08:17]
C
Today is his heart skin. So I'm gonna call him after this, and we're gonna see how it goes. I'm excited.
- [08:24]
B
Got one, though.
- [08:25]
A
Good old Shake and Bake.
- [08:26]
C
He wasn't related. Yeah, Shake and Bake. Oh, my gosh. He's gonna love this. He's gonna clip this and show everyone that he sees at the gym.
- [08:34]
B
I said my name, talking about, we love them.
- [08:36]
C
They're so funny.
- [08:38]
B
My favorite. He said, yeah. Hey, Shake and Big.
- [08:41]
A
Stop.
- [08:42]
B
Stop.
- [08:42]
C
He's gonna freak out. No, but other than that, yeah, It's.
- [08:46]
A
A rough week, dude.
- [08:47]
C
It's been a rough week. Yeah.
- [08:49]
A
It was a full moon, too. Like, a super full moon.
- [08:52]
C
So wasn't it the, like, blood harvest, was it? Harvest?
- [08:55]
A
Yeah. What does that mean, blowing up? We'll talk about it in a minute. But you got a story for me that I've been anxious to hear about, so let me hear this story.
- [09:03]
B
Okay. So we talked about the land, Right? And.
- [09:07]
A
Yeah, we talked about the land. What, last week? I think last week. Yeah, we all went and saw the land.
- [09:12]
B
Yep. We pulled up, we looked at it. There was a lot of red flags. So, like, we. We sort of kind of had, like, an iffy feeling about it. Just I needed to, like, have more reassurance, I guess. Like, there was, like, a couple things that had to do with, like, easements and things like that. And I came back to you that following, like, day or so, and I told you. I was like, man, we got given the easement. No problem. And you were like, okay, well, don't give up on this if. If. You know, like, make sure you exhaust all your options. And so, um, that being said, I said. I went back to Jason. I said, bunny said we should just give it, you know, like, that once over. Just make sure so we grab our side by side. Our friends Dustin and Amy were at the house. They said, let's ride up there and just go. We'll do the whole land. Like, we'll go as far as we possibly can, look at all of our options. He works for the water utility districts in that area, so he would be able to give me a judgment of what water would take to get there, that kind of thing. We go up there. We're deep into the woods at this point. There's lots of trails already built into it. So we're deep in there, and I find a cow skull. And I was like, I need that cow skull. Like, put it in the trunk. It's coming home with us. And then I found it.
- [10:23]
A
A big one?
- [10:24]
B
Yeah, it was like this big. It was a huge cow skull, and there was a pelvis next to it. I said, get the pelvis, get the skull.
- [10:30]
A
What's a pelvis? Oh, the pelvis. Yeah. Oh, my gosh.
- [10:36]
B
So I'm so stoked about this that I'm not paying attention to anything else. And he throws it in the back for me, and we go to pull away, and he goes, what is that? And there's a stump sitting there. Now, mind you, this land has not been occupied since the early 1800s, and so local people in the area have used it clearly for. I feel like this was like, party. Party area.
- [10:58]
A
Oh, yeah. There's broken toilet seats.
- [11:00]
B
We. You know, the pool tab, Beers.
- [11:03]
A
Yes.
- [11:04]
B
We found like hundreds of the tops just laid out. So we're back in the woods now, and we find this stump. And I'm like, clearly someone's been back here. And he and Dustin stop. He tells Jason, stop. He goes, what's on that stump right over there? And it looked like money at first, so it's like 20 or so of these circles. And he jumps off the side by side and he grabs it. He goes, dude, these are beer bottle caps. But they're vintage beer bottle caps that someone smashed. And they've just been sitting there forever. I'm in the back, Jason's in the front. Dustin starts walking them over one by one, because he said, look, there's something.
- [11:38]
A
Underneath them written, how's he just touching all this? God, it makes my skin crawl.
- [11:44]
B
So he's looking at. He comes and hands it to me. And so I start setting the bottle caps in a series in my hand right as he hands them, I'm like, boom, boom, boom. The. But you know, back in the day when they would play the games and they were like cards so, like, the first was like. Like a 10 of spades or something like that. I don't remember them specifically. So each one had a number and a symbol next to it. So first ten of spades. And then he hands me a two, and then he hands me a three. Mind you, there's a whole stack to choose from. And he handed me a 10, a 2, and a 3. And I look at it, and my body just went cold. I said, no fucking way. Did you just hand me a 10, a 2, and a 3? And I show Jason and Dustin and Amy. Don't know why this is significant. Jason goes, what is that? I said, read those numbers. He goes, 10, 10, 2, 1023. If you look on Jason Arms, he has 1023 tattooed across his arm because that's when Olivia was born and his grandma was. Or the time Olivia was born in his grandma's birthday. So his grandma, who passed on, who meant the world to him, was born on 1023. My daughter was born at 10:23am and Dustin hands me out of all those Bottle caps a 10, a 2, and a 3. And so we're freaking out. And he comes over and he goes, what? And Jason holds up his arm and he says, 1023. The last bottle cap he brought back before we left, he hands Jason. It's a J with a heart.
- [13:08]
C
A Crazy.
- [13:10]
B
Is that not. I said there, And I was like, are there other bottle caps? He goes, yeah, there was a ton. He goes, what does this mean? So we had to explain to him what 1023 meant because he had no idea, like. And I'm literally just looking at this in my hand. And then he sets down the.
- [13:23]
C
The J.
- [13:24]
B
That's a heart.
- [13:24]
A
Wild. So do you think that's a sign to get the lane?
- [13:27]
C
I feel like that's a huge sign.
- [13:29]
B
From his grandma or somebody. There's. Unless you had pulled up, like, a 1620. The fact that the only other significant number in my life is the ghost.
- [13:38]
A
We would like to have some clothes.
- [13:40]
B
Yeah. Yeah. I. I literally freaked out after that moment. And we ended up riding the land and having the best time. And it was literally I. He came back home and he, like, cried. He was like, I can't believe that it would say 1023.
- [13:55]
A
No.
- [13:55]
B
Of all the numbers for him to grab.
- [13:57]
A
So are we getting the land or, like, or what?
- [14:00]
B
I think we are. As long as we get the confirmation from the easement, we're gonna get the.
- [14:04]
A
Land, and it's not gonna be hard to get power out there and water and stuff.
- [14:07]
B
We have like one more inspector coming up and stuff. Like, we'll have to do a couple tests. But I. I almost gave. I had already told Haley because she ended up spending the rest of the day with us. That day.
- [14:17]
A
Yeah.
- [14:18]
B
And when we left, I was like, I think we're gonna pass. And then talking to you, and you were like, just make sure. Just make sure. And then I get the phone call about the easement, and the guy was.
- [14:28]
C
Like, yeah, I don't care.
- [14:29]
B
You can have whatever you would like. And then we had a mutual friend with the guy and. And then the 1020. It was just so crazy.
- [14:35]
C
There's just been too many synchronicities.
- [14:37]
B
Yeah, really, it did. It was. So we found a cave to you.
- [14:41]
A
A cave on the property.
- [14:44]
B
A cave? Like a literal.
- [14:47]
C
Like there's treasure in the cave.
- [14:48]
B
Someone could easily fit their body down it. Like, not a walking in cave, but like, you know where people go. What do they call it? Splunking.
- [14:56]
A
What the.
- [14:57]
C
Like the guy that got stuck like this.
- [14:58]
A
And what is a splunk?
- [15:00]
B
A splunk that. Yeah. Splunking is like when you go through caves and like, tunnels and stuff.
- [15:06]
A
I would never do it, so why would I know what that is?
- [15:09]
B
But yeah, we found one on the property. It was so cool.
- [15:12]
A
Oh, I love that. Well, good camera. Makes me excited.
- [15:15]
B
I'm put a GoPro down there.
- [15:16]
A
Yeah, that makes me super excited.
- [15:18]
B
I know.
- [15:18]
C
What if there's a dead body?
- [15:19]

Whatever your Stage. Businesses that grow grow with Shopify. Sign up for your $1 a month trial@shopify.com. listen. I used to dread wearing bras and underwear. The straps would slip, the wires would dig. And by the end of the day, I couldn't wait to peel them off. And don't even get me started on underwear that rolls or pinches. It was always a struggle to find something that actually felt good. That's why I love skims. The Fits everybody T shirt bra is supportive without being suffocating. Smooth, soft, and so comfortable I forget I'm even wearing it. And the Fits everybody thong. It's stretchy, stays put, and feels like second skin. I reach for skims because they solved the problems I thought were just normal with intimates. And honestly, I'd recommend them to any friend who's tired of choosing between comfort and looking cute. Because with skims, you finally get both. Shop my favorite bras and underwear@skims.com after you place your order, be sure to let them know I sent you. Select podcast in the survey and be sure to select Dumb blonde podcast in the drop down menu that follows.
- [16:48]
C
And you solve a crime from like a 100 years ago or something.
- [16:51]
A
It would be all bones. Wouldn't find a body. You'd find bones if it was from 100 years ago for a mummified. Well, like the cow. Literally, like how old was that cow.
- [17:00]
C
That was left there?
- [17:01]
B
I don't know. I mean, those bones were clean. Like there was. They were so clean.
- [17:06]
A
It looked probably buzzards, like picking off, you know?
- [17:09]
B
Yeah. So it's going to my front yard.
- [17:11]
A
Well, we've all had some interesting days for this podcast. I know we're talking a lot, but and it's spooky season, so don't worry about it. We're going to get to spooky for this podcast. I think we are going to read we. I had this idea that I love fun, random facts and I love to know, like lore of certain things. I was like, let's do fun, scary, creepy, whatever type random facts of shows that we like. But before we do that, let's talk about Patreon. And if you are on my Patreon and have been a member of Patreon, dude, I love you guys so much, but your girl has found herself in a little bit of drama. But it's only because I'm standing ten toes fudgeing down. And you guys know one thing about me, I'm one. I'm never going to lie to you too. I'm always going to be about my business. Don't fuck with me, my family or my business. And everything's okay. So I've been on Patreon for almost going on six years. Like, that's a whole relationship. I don't care what anybody says.
- [18:15]
B
You opened it in 19, started in 2020.
- [18:19]
A
Exactly. So I can't stress to you guys how much I have poured into Patreon. And I'm talking like I've brought other creators to Patreon because I told them, hey, listen, this place is so fudgeing lucrative. Go here, bring your podcast here. You guys are going to love it. And I mean, I love those girls and I'm so glad I was making money. So I was so glad to bring everybody else in. Everybody. I could keep naming people who came on to Patreon because of me. Yeah.
- [18:53]
B
She. She came straight to us and she was like, I want to make the switch.
- [18:56]
A
Yeah. And that's not me bragging, saying, like, I brought these people in. It's me saying, like, this is how devoted I was to this platform. And let me tell you also how devoted I was to this platform. Do you know how hard it is to be one of the top podcasts in America and never post your podcasts on YouTube? I built my following for my podcast off streaming sites like Spotify, Apple, I. I heart. And hid it behind a paywall for almost six years.
- [19:28]
B
That's. No one understands how serious that is. Yeah.
- [19:32]
A
To be where we are and not have the YouTube exposure.
- [19:36]
B
Right.
- [19:37]
A
Is insane saying that much. I only said all this to preface the fact that I am finally breaking up with Patreon. I'm going to keep this very gangster. I'm only going to tell the truth. For the past year, they did an update on the platform that I didn't agree with. It charged, like, an extra percentage to us. It charged an extra percentage to the Patreons. You know, we had to raise our prices. Like, it was a whole show. And still I was like, you know what? I'm down for these people. They've had this platform for me for this many years. I'm going to ride with them, whatever. But so it just. It didn't feel right. It felt gross to me. So I was like, in January, I was pretty much like, mimi, I think we need to start upping our YouTube. So I think you'll notice come around, like, March, April is when we start posting on YouTube and we're starting to. To create our following over there. Because I've never been a YouTube person. I don't know how to operate YouTube. I'm not in the YouTube lore. I never had experience with YouTube. So we've been building on our YouTube for the past year. But behind the scenes, Patreon offered me a contract to offer me to stay on their platform. And I was 100% willing to work with them because, again, I felt like this was the love of my life, where we've made a lot of money together, dare I say millions together. And I'm just like, yes, I will do whatever I can to accommodate you guys. Still, even when I shouldn't have had to do that, it should have been them accommodating us. Long story short, for the past year, behind the scenes, it has been a ping pong match back and forth of what they want from me in order to keep me on that platform. And finally when I asked what was in this contract, because I normally try to let my team handle it and I don't want to get in the middle of it because I don't fuck around. Like if as soon as I have something I don't like, I'm fucking out. Well, I finally came to the realization that on the contract. What are they asking for, Mimi?
- [21:43]
B
So they came to us with this contract and nothing in it was what we had prior discussed. So we had gone, like you said, back and forth month after month after month, come to this agreement, we open up a 14 page agreement and they are asking for some of the most ridiculous things. Now, now, mind you, with other people, it's like, just keep doing what you're doing, you know. And for us, it was other people.
- [22:07]
A
Meaning other creators on the platform that were offer contracts.
- [22:10]
B
Yeah.
- [22:11]
A
They specifically sent me out of everybody a 14 page contract while everybody else is just getting a pat on the back.
- [22:18]
B
Yeah. And it, it's like very designated social posting, which.
- [22:22]
A
Yeah, they want me to post like how many times a week?
- [22:25]
B
Oh, it went back and forth for a while, even like, you know, for all of yours. That's what's. It was like an astronomical amount because it was like, we want it on Tick Tock x Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, everything. So I'm like, they want me to.
- [22:42]
A
Promote them even more than I already have.
- [22:45]
B
Yes.
- [22:46]
A
Which by the way, I took them out of my bio probably in. I'd have three months ago. Like three months ago. Because I was tired of the. With the. And as soon as I did that, guess what happened? You know, dramatic. Dramatic. Because I stopped promoting them.
- [23:00]
B
And that's when they came back to us and was like, yo, your numbers just crashed. And I was like, are you wondering why? Because we don't promote you. We're not giving you free exposure anymore. We're not putting you in our RSS feed, we're not putting you all over our YouTube. She doesn't have you in every single link, all over every platform. That's what we're trying to show you is the power we have. And what the numbers that grew were because of you. They weren't because you were announcing us as your top podcast and helping us get promotion.
- [23:29]
A
Yeah, they never helped us with anything. Anytime that we tried to go to them with an issue, it took months to get anybody on the phone and every time we got somebody on the phone, it was a different person. And that is 100 facts. We're not talking, we're just stating facts.
- [23:43]
B
We had a lot of reps in our time.
- [23:44]
A
We've had a lot of reps in our time. And you know, there comes a point where you have to realize your worth. And last, this last phone call, they had a representative on there who was extremely fudgeing rude.
- [23:59]
B
And she was new, so she didn't know the five or six year lore.
- [24:02]
A
Yeah.
- [24:02]
B
Of dumb blonde.
- [24:03]
A
Yeah. She was extremely rude. Made us feel completely unwanted. And I just finally snapped. I was like, this is it. I'm done. I am fudgeing done. We're taking Patreon out of every fudgeing podcast I've ever posted. We're taking it out of every frickin social media post I've ever, ever posted on. I will gladly speak up for other creators.
- [24:23]
B
You're not going to try to tell me and take credit for things that you did not do? Like, I just don't deal with that. That's not okay. And them trying to take credit for what we've spent six years building is insane.
- [24:34]
A
I brought almost. I brought over 300,000 free and paid members to Patreon in the past six years. Do you know how hard that is to do behind a paywall? And they're going to take credit and say that it was because of them. I don't fudgeing think so. So we pivoted and I'm going to be a streamer now. I'm so fucking excited over here. I'm excited. I'm so fudgeing excited. And you know what, Patreon, thank you. Like, this isn't like, I hate you, Patreon. This is a fudgeing thank you for the past six years for a great experience, but it's time to say goodbye. Lastly, the one thing that broke the straw on the camel's back. And then I'll get to the streaming thing is they're trying to take control of my book release.
- [25:19]
B
Yeah, they. We literally were like, just lighten up on the wording here. Like, why do we have to be so specific about her book in all of this? Like, our lawyers were like, yo, we will gladly move past this if you just redo your wording and saying that you want control of, like, it has to be this exact date. We can't promise that anything could freaking happen, bro. Like, you are not saying, like, it's this or nothing. Yeah.
- [25:46]
A
But here's the thing. You guys haven't lived my life. You know what I'm saying? You guys do not own any part of. Any part of my story at all. Thank you for the past six years. But if anything, we worked our asses off to become one of the top podcasts, and I hid behind a paywall, which made my podcast 10 times harder to get to where it's at.
- [26:10]
B
Yeah.
- [26:10]
A
So for anybody to try to take credit for that and then also try to control my book dropping. I'm out.
- [26:18]
B
I'm out.
- [26:18]
A
Like, literally, I'm out. So saying that much, your girl's gonna be a streamer. We signed up on Kick today. I'm on Kick, and it's. It's the Bunny xo. And when we do launch, we're. We. I think we're up to like, let's look, let's look, look, let's look. Hold on. Let's look at how many kickers we have. I'm so excited, you guys, because now I can like, actually really get to, like, hang with you guys, which I my so tied on the other website. Hold on one second, you guys. And by the way, you guys have showed up and showed out when I did.
- [26:55]
B
Were you in the chat earlier, too?
- [26:56]
A
I was, I was, yeah. We're at almost 5.5 thousand on kick, which is awesome for a first day, if we can keep that going. But what is so amazing to me is that everybody. I posted that thing on Patreon and I really thought that I was going to get a lot of hate and that people were going to be so pissed off, and they were like, girl, we are only here for you. We are on our way. And literally everybody is just going over to Kick now, and I can't. I'm like, dude, thank you guys so fudgeing much for just always loving me, always allowing me to grow, always allowing me to do weird shit like streamer. This is going to be fudgeing hilarious. And what's going to be cool is it's not going to just be, you know, ass. I'll confess. It's not going to just be the podcast. It's going to be like me and Jay waking up in the morning doing good morning and breakfast. Me and the girls doing, like a Hot Topic show, going down to Broadway once a month and with people down there going to.
- [27:53]
B
Yeah.
- [27:53]
A
Going to the bar at Good Night Nashville. And once I hit an X amount of subscribers on Kick, then we're going to have a party at the bar where you guys can all come and be on the Stream and stuff like that. So it's going to be so much fun. So if you want to follow me, Go to Kick. It has an app, in case you didn't know. Because I didn't know. I just learned that today. I'm learning all of this with you guys, so it's like a fun adventure that we're all learning together. They have an app and just go to the Bunny XO show. Sub right now. It's free to sub right now. And then once we get the subs going and stuff like that, of course you guys can join and be a part of the, you know, the coven. And we're super excited. And I don't know, I'm just really looking forward to 2026 because it's like out with the old and with the new.
- [28:35]
B
I'm so hyped about this.
- [28:36]
A
Are you hyped?
- [28:37]
B
Oh, him and Jason already had a call this morning.
- [28:39]
D
Yeah, no, I'm. I'm hype. I was like, dude, we could, like, play video games.
- [28:43]
B
We could.
- [28:43]
D
We could eat cereal.
- [28:44]
B
We could.
- [28:46]
A
That's what I said. I was like, we could do mukbangs.
- [28:49]
B
So good.
- [28:49]
A
We could do mukbangs. I mean, you. Anything you guys want us to do. If you guys want me to go streaking at a million subs, oh, I'm getting my butthole on Broadway. My butthole's on Broadway. I'm going. I'm going, buddy, listen, I get. I'm.
- [29:07]
B
That's your neck Christmas.
- [29:08]
A
I get a million subs on Kick, and I swear to God, I will go streaking down Broadway. Don't care. I'll be tanned up. My husband's going to kill me. I'm doing it.
- [29:18]
B
Yeah, he's going to. We're all going to get a phone call.
- [29:21]
A
You know, listen, my husband's so skinny now, he might do it with me.
- [29:24]
B
He might.
- [29:25]
C
He might throw something at the end of that road.
- [29:28]
A
I'm telling you. I'm telling you. Listen, J.
- [29:31]
B
Interview.
- [29:32]
A
Listen, Jay's getting loosey goosey now that he's getting skinny on me. He fucking always wants to be naked. So, I mean, if. If it depends on how long it takes us to get to a million subs, but, you know, we'll figure it out. And I'm just super excited. And that's what happened with Patreon. Not here to talk shit. Here to tell the truth. And just thank you guys so much for loving us and being there for us.
- [29:57]
B
So excited.
- [29:58]
A
I'm stoked. I can't watch today.
- [30:03]
B
Can we, like, stream after this. Sure.
- [30:05]
D
Yeah. Let's do like a. Like an intro stream. Just do it.
- [30:07]
B
Yeah.
- [30:08]
A
You guys want to.
- [30:09]
B
Yeah. Check a stream today.
- [30:12]
A
Can we announce it and, like, just post it somewhere and then we'll.
- [30:15]
B
I mean, I feel like once you start it, can't you share from there? Because I think it's like a link.
- [30:20]
C
Facebook just.
- [30:21]
A
I've never streamed in my life.
- [30:22]
B
But, guys, you're gonna watch this in real time. That's gonna be wild. Yeah, but just as a. Like, we're here and it's free. A free stream today, I think would.
- [30:30]
C
Cool.
- [30:30]
A
Yeah, I'm done. Let's do it. Totally down. You guys will be hearing this a week later, so.
- [30:34]
B
Yeah. If you were a part of that stream.
- [30:36]
A
Oh, yeah.
- [30:37]
B
I'm sorry now.
- [30:38]
D
Yeah.
- [30:39]
A
I apologize for all the. You guys are about to encounter.
- [30:42]
B
It's going to be now.
- [30:43]
A
Listen, and I'm a Voyer. I love to watch people. You know what streaming reminds me of? Webcamming. And let me tell you, your girl made a lot of money webcamming. She's going back to the roots. Going back to my roots. Blame it all on my roots. I swear I'm ready, baby. I am so ready. That's what this is. Where I thrive is like live shit, you know? So, yeah, I'm probably gonna get canceled 10 times, but. Yeah, that's all right. Listen, you guys are. Now, listen, you guys are still gonna love me.
- [31:12]
B
Yeah. They're gonna still be there. Yeah. Yeah.
- [31:15]
A
Love me or hate me, you guys will still be there. So I'm excited. But moving on, let's talk about some random facts from Halloween edition. Halloween edition, baby. Who wants to kick this off?
- [31:29]
B
Do you want to go, Haley?
- [31:30]
C
Okay, so one of my favorite Halloween movies is the Conjuring. I don't know if you would consider that like Halloween, but it is like.
- [31:38]
B
I think, like, horror and scary.
- [31:41]
C
Yeah, but it's like the only scary movie that actually, like, scared the out of.
- [31:47]
B
I've never seen.
- [31:47]
A
I won't watch it. I'm like, you guys have heard me talk about this before.
- [31:50]
C
That movie is rough.
- [31:51]
B
No.
- [31:52]
C
And I. I do not want to see the new. I like. I. I'm scared, but, like, I. Low key. I don't know. But anyway, so these are a few facts from the cast who worked on it. But Joey King, who played one of the children, she reportedly developed mysterious bruises all over her body during filming. Filming. Even though she wasn't doing stunts in those scenes. She also described a rare, bizarre blood disorder that Made her red platelets drop. She had to get checked before and after filming each day. And after filming was done, she said the condition resolved.
- [32:29]
A
Yeah. So that means, like a spirit was with her because they can. Spirits and entities, dark entities can latch on to you.
- [32:37]
B
And they happened to me one time.
- [32:39]
A
What happened?
- [32:40]
B
Yeah, I now I swear by this. So you guys remember how I've told you that I used to work in a haunted salon?
- [32:46]
A
I don't remember that.
- [32:47]
B
Okay. So when I first moved it. When I first moved to Tennessee, I worked in a salon that was like a 100 year old building, and it was haunted. It was very, very. Like, teacups would go flying because she had, like, displays of, like, vintage antiques. And like, we would literally watch things just fly off of shelves. Things explode on the walls. It was the craziest. And I think I brought something home one day and I was in the shower and I told Jason, like, I was like, oh, my gosh, my back. And he comes in, he's like, what? And I see blood going down there. Something scratched my back in the shower. I'm telling you, there's nothing sharp in the shower. Right. It was. It looked like a cat paw.
- [33:25]
C
Is it three?
- [33:26]
B
Yes. And I'm literally bleeding. And Jason was like, there's no way that just happened. Like, he's like, did you. Were you shaving? What?
- [33:40]
C
I just had a ringing in my ear as you said that.
- [33:42]
B
That's crazy. And the next morning I woke up and there was a mushroom circle on my front lawn. And it was like these black dust. Like, it looked like ashes. It was a perfect circle in our front yard of black ashes.
- [33:56]
A
Cooler days call for layers that last. And Quince is my go to for quality essentials that feel cozy, look refined, and won't blow your budget. Everybody talks about $50, Mongolian cashmere and premier denim from Quince, but for me, it's their gym wear. The quality is insane. It feels like the same luxe brands you'd find at high end athletic stores, but at a fraction of the price. Their leggings, sports bras, and workout sets. They fit like a dream, hold up tough through workouts, and look so good you'll want to wear them outside of the gym too. What I love is that Quince partners directly with top tier ethical factories and cuts out the middlemen. So you get luxury level quality without the luxury level price tag. It's the kind of upgrade that feels smart, stylish, and effortless. Whether you're lifting, running, or just living your life, find your fall Staples at quince. Go to quince.com/bunny.

You guys know me. I'm all about saving money where I can. Especially on boring stuff like phone bills. I got tired of those jaw dropping wireless bills every month. Hid these overages contracts. No thank you. That's when I made the switch to Mint Mobile. And let me tell you, it has been a game changer with Mint Mobile. I'm paying just 15amonth for premium wireless. Yep, you heard that right. 15. And I still get high speed data, unlimited talk and text. All on the nation's largest 5G network. The best part, I didn't have to buy a new phone or change my number. I just popped in the Mint SIM and kept all my contacts. Easy. Honestly, compared to my old provider, I'm saving so much it feels like I've been getting scammed all these years. If you're still overpaying for wireless, just stop. Mint makes it simple. And once you switch, you'll wonder why you didn't do it sooner. Ready to say yes to saying no? Make the switch@mintmobile.com bunny. That's mintmobile.com bunny b u n n I e upfront payment of $45 required. Equivalent to $15 a month limited time. New customers offer for first three months only. Speeds may sl 35 gigabytes on unlimited plan taxes and fees. Extra cement. Mobile for details.
- [36:11]
C
No.
- [36:12]
A
What did you do to get rid of it?
- [36:14]
B
I don't think I did anything. I just waited for it to go away.
- [36:17]
A
I'd have been praying still living with you, I would have had a priest in the house. I would have burnt sage. No, I don't want sage anymore. Last time I burned sage, I got my face beat in. So I don't burn sage anymore. I feel like it disturbs demons if you don't open the windows.
- [36:29]
B
I don't. I don't burn sage. I'll burn palo santo.
- [36:34]
A
Yeah.
- [36:34]
B
And I will like open my doors and stuff. Cash likes to make the. The bad things go away. So he carries it around and then shoes it out the door.
- [36:43]
A
I love that. Yeah, that's crazy. So the blood disorder definitely was.
- [36:47]
C
Yeah. And there was. Some of the actors said that they would wake up between 3 and 4. Specifically 307am every night while filming which is similar to what happens in the movie.
- [36:58]
A
Well, that's called the witching hour.
- [37:00]
B
Yeah.
- [37:00]
A
So.
- [37:00]
C
But they said that would happen during filming. There are claw marks and scratches on laptop and body. So one person said that while they wrapped, she saw claw marks on her laptop, and they were identical to ones on her thigh.
- [37:18]
A
You couldn't pay me enough.
- [37:19]
B
No.
- [37:20]
A
If I'm having mysterious bite marks on my thighs and I'm not enjoying my. Those bite marks. Like, she said, no, not narrow. It's not happening. I'm not.
- [37:30]
C
I've never been somewhere where I've gotten claw marks on me.
- [37:34]
B
No, that was the wildest thing. And I felt it happen. Like, I literally was like, ow. And I just started bleeding.
- [37:42]
A
He said, yeah, like, the tick tock thing, the. The cat arm that I send all the time. It was just pissed. That's crazy.
- [37:52]
B
Yeah.
- [37:52]
A
You couldn't pay me enough money to make that movie. I would be so scared. Let's talk about the Ed Gein story. Have you guys watched it yet?
- [38:03]
B
I haven't watched it yet. I'm so sad. I haven't had time to sit down and watch this. Have you?
- [38:06]
D
Yeah, I watched all of it.
- [38:07]
A
I watched the whole thing.
- [38:09]
D
Me too. A lot of episodes. Way too many episodes.
- [38:11]
A
So spoiler alert, if you have not watched it yet, don't listen to this part of the podcast. I'm gonna tell you right now, I love Ryan Murphy. I love what he does. I loved what he did with the Menendez brothers. I thought it was great how he portrayed everything. This one, really. And I'm a huge Charlie Hunnam fan. Like, hello, Jax. Like, you know, huge Charlie Hunnam fan. It just. I didn't like it.
- [38:43]
D
I didn't like it either.
- [38:44]
A
They added in way too much. That did not happen. They intertwined too many storylines, which I. I understand what they were trying to do. And if you watch it, you'll make sense. The ending is horrific. It is like. It's like they gave up at the end. The only thing that's. And Charlie Hunnam, God love him, he's an amazing actor, and he did a great job as far as acting, but the voice that he gave Ed Gein is straight up Winnie the Pooh or Goofy.
- [39:13]
C
What?
- [39:13]
A
Or Mickey Mouse. It sounds like Mickey Mouse.
- [39:16]
B
Yes.
- [39:16]
D
Mother wouldn't like that.
- [39:18]
A
Like, it's just like, I don't know what is happening.
- [39:22]
B
You guys are ruining this for me. I don't think I want to watch it, dude.
- [39:25]
A
It's threw me off so bad, and then I Saw Charlie Hunnam do this interview, and he's like. The guy's like, yeah, you're totally naked for. Cause he's like, naked, and he's wearing women's lingerie and all this stuff in the. In the episode. And Charlie's like, yeah, well, I just channeled Ed Gein, and I tried to do it as much as, like, you know, he would. He would have, like, approved. And I'm just like, boy, you are naked in every fricking show that you do. Jax was naked banging chicks left and right. And listen, I'm not complaining. Charlie Hunnam's body is a one top tier. But it's like, bro, you love to get naked. Like, that is in your contract. They're like, if Charlie Hunam is coming, that mofo is getting naked. And I mean, listen, it's a greatly disturbing watch. I think if you have time to watch the eight. I think it's eight or nine episodes.
- [40:14]
D
Eight episodes.
- [40:15]
A
Yeah, Eight episodes. Do it.
- [40:17]
C
Watch it on stream.
- [40:18]
B
Yes.
- [40:19]
C
Watch it with us, guys.
- [40:20]
A
But just know that a lot of the stuff they put in there is not factual.
- [40:25]
B
Dang.
- [40:26]
C
I don't think I know the actual.
- [40:28]
B
You know, Ed Guinness, like, my favorite person. I mean, of all horror movies, this is who. They have made countless, like, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, like, all the things like the. And this is very disheartening because I'm a huge, like, fan of Ed Gein. I don't consider him a serial killer. I will stand on that hill. Because he did kill three people. He does get technically considered a serial killer. He did not find joy in killing. He found joy in the idea of death. He was obsessed with death, with death and bodies and, like.
- [41:00]
A
And they portrayed him to be a murderer.
- [41:02]
B
Yeah. And that's why someone tried to talk to me about that the other day. They were like, oh, he's like, a murderer. I said, no, he's not.
- [41:07]
A
Yeah.
- [41:08]
B
No, no, no.
- [41:09]
A
For anybody who doesn't know, we covered this in 2023. So we. There's a podcast that we just posted on my YouTube bunny. Xo, go watch it. And those are all the facts that we could find.
- [41:18]
B
That man is obsessed with, like, death and bodies and that kind of thing. He's not obsessed with killing people. Like, serial killers are. Like, he's not like, a Gacy.
- [41:29]
A
And he was. He's a victim.
- [41:31]
B
He's not mentally.
- [41:32]
A
Right, Right. He's a victim of abuse. Which I can empathize, because when you're raised as a child with such an abusive parent, that alters your brain chemistry 100. And it has a lot to do with what happens later on in life.
- [41:52]
B
Yeah.
- [41:52]
A
And people not saying it's okay what he did, but at the same time. And then he also did not have sex with these bodies.
- [41:59]
B
He. He cuddled them.
- [42:01]
A
He cuddled them and they portrayed it. They portrayed it that he was full on banging these chicks. He even, like, fingered this girl in a. In a part of the show and was like, you're too warm. And made her get in an ice bath so that he could her. Like, it's. Yeah. Like they really.
- [42:16]
B
He had sex with a. Live women. He did not have sex with dead bodies.
- [42:21]
A
Yeah.
- [42:22]
C
Yeah.
- [42:22]
A
So there's a lot. And I hate it because I posted that one clip from the podcast, which I'll post some more, but people are like, arguing me in the comments. They're like, that didn't happen. And I'm like, this.
- [42:32]
B
Yes, it did.
- [42:32]
A
This series is fabricated. And I get that Ryan Murphy is you. If you ever need somebody for American Horror Story. Hi, Ryan. I would gladly come do something, but I understand that he's got a series to sell and that's what he's off. You know, that's his. His entire brand is expanding stories. You know, like, he gives you the gist, but he's also going to add a little razzle dazzle.
- [42:55]
B
Yeah, of course. Because I think if you were just to do it very factual, it wouldn't be very interesting.
- [43:00]
A
No, not at all.
- [43:01]
B
You have to create a story. You're creating art from something.
- [43:06]
A
So that's.
- [43:07]
C
Yep.
- [43:07]
D
I mean, it's. It started good. It's like.
- [43:10]
A
Oh, yeah.
- [43:11]
D
Because it kind of illustrated, like, kind of how messed up humans are for wanting to pay attention. Because it showed how they made movies that were inspired by it.
- [43:19]
B
Yes. Yeah.
- [43:19]
C
Because we're so desensitized.
- [43:21]
B
Right.
- [43:21]
D
It was a good start, but then it ended with, like, all the serial killers being kind of, like, worshiped. And it's like, no, what they did was. Was really messed up, but they made it seem like it was cool.
- [43:30]
A
Also, I didn't know that Alfred Hitchcock in real life looks like the penguin. Yeah, like Danny DeVito's penguin. Like, that's like, you would think Alfred Hitchcock, you know, like, you.
- [43:41]
B
I don't think I've ever seen what he looks like.
- [43:43]
A
Pull up a picture of Alfred Hitchcock. Somebody pull up a picture of Alfred Hitchcock and show it on the screen, too. Jason. Yeah, so he was a little round, robust guy.
- [43:53]
B
This is him.
- [43:55]
A
I. You would never think that Alfred Hitchcock.
- [43:58]
B
Screen look like that.
- [44:00]
A
I think that was the most interesting thing that I learned was that Alfred.
- [44:05]
C
Hitchcock, he looks like he would have been a president.
- [44:08]
A
Yeah.
- [44:08]
B
What is that?
- [44:10]
A
Yeah, I thought Alfred Hitchcock would have been, like, cool, you know, I think.
- [44:14]
B
An Edgar Allen Poe.
- [44:15]
A
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Daddy, Daddy Po.
- [44:19]
B
But, like, that's not what.
- [44:20]
A
Yeah.
- [44:20]
B
I would ever assume.
- [44:22]
A
So, yeah. Moving on. I got some facts, and I figured you would love this one. Memes.
- [44:29]
B
Give it to me.
- [44:30]
A
I've got a ton of facts about Beetlejuice, The. The original Beetlejuice. So when I talk about this, I'm talking about the original one that. That came out in, like, 1988, so not like the new one that just.
- [44:47]
B
Both my kids love that movie. I know.
- [44:50]
A
So the studio originally wanted to call the film House Ghost. Like, as a joke, Tim Burton suggested the name should be Scared Sheetless. And he was horrified when the studio actually considered using that. So Beetlejuice was actually going to be called Scared Sheetless.
- [45:10]
B
That's crazy. Is that not insane?
- [45:12]
A
Like, and we would have probably loved it still the same. We'd be like, let's watch Scared Sheetless every Halloween, you know? So when Adam and Barbara are exchanging gift wraps, the wrapping paper that Barbara takes off has beetles all over it, which I thought was pretty cool.
- [45:28]
B
I think I've noticed that.
- [45:29]
A
Yeah, that's like a part in the scene. You know, the scene where, like, Beetlejuice and Wynona Ryder are getting married and he's, like, standing next door and he's, like, cracking jokes. We did that scene for Tik Tok.
- [45:41]
B
Remember?
- [45:42]
A
Wynonna writer breaks character and laughs in the middle of that. And that's because she was genuinely laughing. That wasn't like that. Yeah, that wasn't part of the movie. But they kept it in there. She just broke character because he was so funny.
- [45:55]
C
I love when people break characters. Sometimes I'll look up on Tick Tock people breaking character.
- [46:01]
B
Yeah.
- [46:02]
C
Especially on, like, snl.
- [46:03]
B
Oh, when they break character on snl or when. Like on the ringer.
- [46:07]
A
Because it shows they're human.
- [46:09]
B
Oh, for sure. Do you know which one I'm talking about on the ringer? No. Guy in the ring when the. Do we get ice cream? And Johnny.
- [46:17]
C
Johnny Knoxville.
- [46:18]
B
Johnny Knoxville in the background, you guys, is the. The funniest part ever.
- [46:24]
A
No, I'll have to Google it. We'll have to look it up. So, you know, like, when they're in the waiting room when they die, Barbara and Alec Baldwin, Gina Davis and Alec Baldwin when they die. There's a part where a voice comes over the PA system and announces Flight 409 is arriving. Well, that's because United Airlines Flight 409 crashed on a mountain in Wyoming, October 6th of 1955, killing all of the people aboard. And to this day, no one knows why it crashed. So it's a real plane crash that they were announcing was coming into the waiting room of.
- [46:57]
B
Crazy.
- [46:58]
A
Yeah, Crazy, right? So you guys know the iconic scene, the day. Oh, Dale. When they're all sitting at dinner. Tim Burton was scared that that sequence wasn't going to go over well, and he almost cut it out of the film. I know.
- [47:15]
B
No way. That would have been crazy not to have that scene. It's so iconic.
- [47:19]
A
He didn't think it was funny.
- [47:22]
B
My kids love that scene. They'll reenact it all the time.
- [47:24]
A
Yep. Audiences loved it. And it's one of the most iconic film scenes ever. To this day.
- [47:30]
B
To this day, absolutely.
- [47:34]
A
All of Beetlejuice's characters and his. I like his outfit, his face, like, everything. Michael Keaton came up with everything. The character's look. He wanted mold on his face. He wanted his hair looking as if he'd stuck his finger in an electric socket. And he requested that the wardrobe department send him clothes from every different time era.
- [47:55]
B
I love that. I love how involved he was with that.
- [48:00]
A
I mean, especially in the 80s, to be that brazen of like, hey, I'm gonna take it. Michael Keaton is one of the best actors that has ever lived.
- [48:08]
B
Actors ever. And then even, like, Catherine being. When you look at Catherine's lifespan, everything she does is iconic.
- [48:17]
A
Catherine who, like the.
- [48:19]
B
The mom.
- [48:19]
A
Oh, yeah, yeah.
- [48:20]
B
Catherine o'. Hare. Like.
- [48:21]
C
Yes.
- [48:22]
B
If you really think about every role, how many other people are that iconic for everything they've done, literally.
- [48:28]
A
And then she can circle back and be beetlejuice's mom in 2024.
- [48:32]
B
Yes.
- [48:32]
A
You know, that's crazy. Wynonna's mom.
- [48:36]
B
Yeah.
- [48:36]
A
You know, like, to even still be relevant enough.
- [48:39]
B
And she just did Schitt's Creek right before that, which is also iconic. It's Home Alone. Home Alone. I know. I'm like, yeah, there's so many avenues that she's done. Is same with Michael Keaton. Like, everything he does is so iconic.
- [48:52]
A
Yeah. So you guys know the old lady who had the throat slit, and when she would smoke, the smoke would come out of her throat. It's this lady right here.
- [48:58]
B
Yeah.
- [48:59]
A
Sylvia Sydney plays a smoking ghost with a hole in her throat which emits smoke. She died from Throat cancer at the age of 88.
- [49:08]
B
No way.
- [49:09]
A
Yep.
- [49:10]
B
Oh, give me chills, bro.
- [49:12]
A
This one I thought was the coolest. The skeleton head on top of Beetlejuice's Merry Go Round. That's on, like. You know how they have that little, like, that, like, town that's up in the attic that. Okay. It's the first appearance of Jack Skellington. That's the first time you get to see Jack Skellington. See his face right there.
- [49:35]
B
No way.
- [49:36]
A
Yep. It's the first appearance of Jack Skellington, a skeleton figure which Tim Burton had been drawing since 1982 and would ultimately be used as the main character of the Nightmare before Christmas in 93.
- [49:50]
B
Get out of here.
- [49:51]
A
That's wild.
- [49:52]
B
I have to look this up. I have to see.
- [49:53]
C
What, an Easter egg.
- [49:54]
A
Yeah. Like, isn't that fun?
- [49:56]
B
Goodness.
- [49:57]
A
Yeah.
- [49:57]
B
Wow. That's crazy. Olivia's gonna be Sally for Halloween this year.
- [50:03]
A
We should take a picture of me and her together. You should do it together.
- [50:06]
B
She's so excited about this.
- [50:09]
A
Catherine o' Hara met her future husband, production designer Bo Welch, while making the film. According to Welch, Tim Burton said he should ask her out near the end of filming. So the gay guy who is the.
- [50:21]
B
The designer.
- [50:23]
A
Yeah. That's her husband.
- [50:27]
B
No way.
- [50:27]
A
Yeah.
- [50:29]
B
Never knew that. Yep. That's crazy. That was a really good fact. Thanks.
- [50:34]
A
I have a bunch about the Addams Family next.
- [50:36]
B
That is so.
- [50:36]
C
I don't have that many.
- [50:38]
A
It's okay. I was prepared. That's why I came up with the podcast. I was like, let's do this.
- [50:42]
C
Because I just.
- [50:43]
A
I don't know. I just find it so, like, it's crazy.
- [50:45]
C
I love facts.
- [50:46]
A
Me, too. And it's like, now when you go back to watch it, you're gonna see Jack Skellington for the first time.
- [50:51]
C
Oh, like Easter eggs.
- [50:53]
B
Yeah.
- [50:53]
C
Yes. Like, I, like. I really, like, like, re. Watching things and, like, picking up. Picking up on things, like, I didn't see before. And, like. Or when people, like, point out Easter eggs, I'm like, bro, that's crazy.
- [51:04]
B
Yeah.
- [51:05]
A
And then it's like your mind doesn't catch it until you're told. And then you're like, yeah, now you see it every time on Little Mermaid. The castle.
- [51:13]
C
Yeah. Well, it just makes you think of things in, like, real life.
- [51:16]
A
Yeah.
- [51:17]
C
Like, things that we miss.
- [51:18]
B
Miss?
- [51:19]
A
Oh, yeah.
- [51:19]
B
Oh, I miss everything. I'm. I'm so, like, I don't. I don't take in my surroundings very often. And you can be like, you didn't just See that? And I'm like, nope, I'm not.
- [51:29]
C
Enough with that. On and off with that.
- [51:31]
B
Yeah.
- [51:32]
C
What like you're saying? Yeah, either hyper aware or not aware at all.
- [51:36]
A
Yeah, that's true.
- [51:37]
C
I guess.
- [51:37]
A
Me too.
- [51:38]
B
A little bit. Sometimes I'm hyper aware. Like if I'm in the grocery store, you know, I'm really aware of my surroundings, especially if I have the kids. But then like, other times, like, bro, there could be a car accident. I'm just.
- [51:48]
C
I think it's when I'm alone. When I'm alone, I'm way more aware. And when I'm with people, I'm like, less like, paranoid.
- [51:55]
B
So.
- [51:55]
A
Yeah.
- [51:56]
C
Yeah.
- [51:57]
A
You got something for us?
- [51:58]
B
Yes. What were you gonna say?
- [52:00]
C
I was gonna go off the paranoid, but it's okay.
- [52:03]
B
Oh, okay. So one of the ones that I looked up was Psycho. So we were talking about this.
- [52:10]
C
I don't think I've seen that.
- [52:11]
B
It was actually the first American film to show a toilet it flushing on screen. What?
- [52:18]
A
Wait, say that again.
- [52:20]
B
So Psycho. It was the first American film to show a toilet flushing on screen and it ended up being like a scandal. What? Yes.
- [52:31]
A
I mean, was the toilet, like, facing the camera or like, what are we missing?
- [52:36]
B
Because, like, you know, when you. They watch the water go down, it.
- [52:38]
A
Yeah.
- [52:38]
B
Kind of thing. It was the first time a toilet ever flushed on film.
- [52:42]
A
That's insane.
- [52:43]
B
Who would imagine? Because this was. It came out in 1960, you know, so like, I guess TV film, it was, you know, still getting going. Yeah. Versus, you know, 2025. But that's kind of crazy to think.

C
I like the, like, psychological thriller.
- [55:58]
B
Hate that.
- [55:59]
A
Like, I don't know. I don't like Gory.
- [56:01]
C
But have you seen as above so Below? I made her watch it.
- [56:04]
B
Hated it. Hated it.
- [56:06]
C
She made me watch it so many.
- [56:07]
B
Times while we were, like, crazy traveling through some. You haven't seen it?
- [56:12]
A
I don't know. I know.
- [56:13]
B
Don't.
- [56:13]
A

B
The catacombs. Have you seen it?

C
It's about the catacombs.
- [56:17]
B
No, no.
- [56:18]
A
Oh, I would definitely not want to watch that when we're in Europe.
- [56:21]
B
No, no. It was last tour. Like tour of last year.
- [56:24]
C
Yeah, I Forced her to watch it.
- [56:25]
B
She, like, literally sat me down and forced me. I hated every second of it. I like horror. Like, I like blood and guts and, like, serial killers.
- [56:34]
A
You'll like that.
- [56:35]
C
That.
- [56:36]
A
Ryan, watch it. It's so bloody and gory.
- [56:39]
C
Yeah, I don't like bloody and gory.
- [56:41]
B
Zombie mo movie type person, but I.
- [56:43]
C
Don'T like Paranormal Activity.
- [56:46]
B
Hate it. I made my best friend sleep in my bed that night because I was so scared, I think.
- [56:50]
A
I don't find that a normal actor activity or whatever on cameras.
- [56:53]
C
So it looks more real. Like it's on, like, house cameras, you know?
- [56:56]
B
So it looks.
- [56:57]
A
I hated the Blair Witch Project, though.
- [56:58]
B
Made me car sick.
- [57:00]
A
Dude, stop shaking the camera. You scared.
- [57:02]
B
All right.
- [57:03]
A
Like, I hated it. Like, can you keep your arms straight or get it.
- [57:07]
C
Get a.
- [57:08]
A
Get a tripod, you know?
- [57:09]
C
Speaking of, like, woods, though, my for you page has been nothing but Appalachian woods.
- [57:15]
B
Yes.
- [57:16]
C
Since we talked about it.
- [57:18]
B
For you.
- [57:19]
C
So creepy.
- [57:20]
A
I know some dude. I have some dude that is in the Appalachian mountains doing something. And again, had the thinnest, sheerest curtains I've ever seen. And they just. It's weird.
- [57:32]
B
I. No, I can't handle it. Like, everyone on their back porches just looking out into the dark woods.
- [57:37]
A
Listen, if we don't go to Australia, we can go to Appalachia.
- [57:42]
B
Okay, live streaming into Appalachia.
- [57:47]
C
Stop. I'm so down.
- [57:48]
A
We're doing it.
- [57:49]
C
I'm so down.
- [57:50]
A
We're doing it.
- [57:50]
C
What if it, like, cuts off our live. Live stream?
- [57:53]
B
I'll live stream from my house and just be a little like, yeah, yeah.
- [57:59]
A
Baby'S like, I'm really there, guys. I'm in the other room.
- [58:01]
C
Jason's, like, screaming in the background.
- [58:05]
B
Yeah.
- [58:05]
A
That be crazy for us.
- [58:08]
C
I do. I have a few facts of Paranormal Activity. Okay, that one really also me up. So the real noises inspiration came from true occurrences that happen in the director's. Not the director's home. Someone's home. One of the actors, him and his girlfriend at the time, would hear strange noises at night and things falling off shelves for no reason. One specific example is laundry detergent was stored on a shelf, pushed way back, but one night it inexplicably fell off. So they put a little bit of that in the movie.
- [58:44]
B
So it's real.
- [58:45]
C
It's based on real events. And then Spielberg took a DVD screener of Paranormal Activity home before it was released. After watching it, he found the door to the bedroom locked from the inside despite nobody else being there. He allegedly had to call A locksmith to open it.
- [59:06]
A
What a just break the door?
- [59:09]
B
Yeah.
- [59:09]
C
And then it says I be freaked the out.
- [59:14]
A
I'm too scared to wait for a locksmith. I'm opening that now. My anxiety can never she just straight.
- [59:20]
B
Boom.
- [59:20]
C
Yeah.
- [59:22]
A
The door frame. I don't care.
- [59:24]
C
I'd leave.
- [59:24]
B
Oh, my God.
- [59:25]
C
But he was so creeped out that he returned the DVD in a trash bag believing it was haunted.
- [59:30]
B
Oh, don't like it.
- [59:32]
C
And also, did you know the budget was 11 to 15,000?
- [59:39]
A
Wow.
- [59:40]
B
They did it on GoPros.
- [59:41]
A
I believe it because they only do it in like one room.
- [59:44]
B
So.
- [59:45]
C
Yeah. And it was.
- [59:47]
B
It.
- [59:47]
C
No, it was a different one.
- [59:48]
B
Hold on.
- [59:50]
C
Yeah. So the budget was 15,000 and it went on to gross over 190 million.
- [59:54]
A
Damn. That's crazy. What a wire.
- [59:58]
B
That's insane.
- [60:00]
C
It's one of the most profitable films ever made.
- [60:02]
B
I love when you have stories like that. Have you guys ever watched the series on Netflix and it was like the things that made us. No. And so there's like. It's called like the movies that made us. Right. And it will do a breakdown. You guys know Home Alone was like the biggest flop job.
- [60:18]
C
What?
- [60:18]
B
Bro. Even mid filming lost like half of their money. And like, they ended up building the Home Alone house. In the pool. Or was it the gym? I think it was a gym.
- [60:33]
C
It was a gym. I remember watching the gym of a.
- [60:35]
B
School because they had no funding.
- [60:38]
A
That's crazy.
- [60:39]
B
That was like. That ended up being also one of like the most grossing.
- [60:43]
C
Yeah.
- [60:43]
B
Movies of all time.
- [60:45]
A
Huge.
- [60:46]
B
You gotta watch that. The movies that made us this. And watch the Home Alone. When he shocked what happened.
- [60:51]
A
I'll watch it.
- [60:52]
B
Actors, like, certain actors weren't supposed to be who they were. And then it was like weird stuff like that. Like, he literally didn't get the part. They casted someone else. They dropped that guy.
- [61:04]
C
Brother. No, we were supposed to cast his brother or something, but his brother is in the movie too.
- [61:10]
B
Oh, really? Yeah.
- [61:11]
C
He didn't. Macaulay Culkin's older. I guess brother is one of his cousins in the movie.
- [61:16]
B
Oh, I didn't know that. No. It's like, what's the bad guys. The tall skinny guy wasn't supposed to be him.
- [61:21]
C
Yeah.
- [61:22]
A
I was like, yeah.
- [61:22]
B
Yeah. There. Everything about that movie is so perfect. I'm telling you. Like, that's so iconic. And to watch the trials and tribulations it took for them to get there. They like had basically taken an old school and made it the set. So all the production Offices were in old classrooms, and, like, they built the house in the gym, and then, like, other scenes were built in the pool.
- [61:45]
A
That's crazy. I love that. All right, well, you guys know I love the Addams Family. I think that Jay and I are Morticia and Gomez.
- [61:51]
B
You are.
- [61:52]
A
So I have some Addams Family facts. So to make Angelica Houston, Morticia's eyes look slanted like the original Morticia, the makeup artist had to attach string with spirit gum to the outside corners of her eyes and anchor the strings onto her head.
- [62:08]
C
Head.
- [62:09]
A
And she had to film them.
- [62:12]
B
Ow. That stuff sucks. Yeah. Ow. Imagine peeling that off every day.
- [62:18]
C
I would have a migraine every day.
- [62:20]
B
Oh, yeah, but don't they do that now anyways?
- [62:23]
A
Couldn't that stretch your eyes out, too, like, filming for them?
- [62:25]
C
It could create wrinkles. Yeah.
- [62:26]
B
I bet you would feel, like, some kind of elasticity in your face. No, but don't people do that now? They do those like.
- [62:32]
A
It's called the Fox eye.
- [62:33]
B
Yeah. Yeah. They, like, pull it back with now.
- [62:36]
C
But you can. No, you can put strings in your face now.
- [62:39]
A
Yeah. You know.
- [62:39]
B
Oh, I was talking about, like.
- [62:40]
A
I mean, the threading.
- [62:43]
B
Yeah, the thread. She had threading dead one time. Remember that experience?
- [62:46]
A
Never again. It was a nightmare.
- [62:48]
B
That was crazy. It showed in, like, everything we.
- [62:50]
A
If I smiled, I had a bar that went across my face right here.
- [62:53]
C
Just the feeling of. Feeling of terrible.
- [62:56]
A
And. And once they're in, you cannot take them out. Nobody can take them out because they're. The way they're barbed is when they go in, they implant into your skin. Yeah.
- [63:06]
B
Wait, how'd you get yours out?
- [63:07]
A
I had to wait three months for them to dissolve. I never got them out. Never once.
- [63:12]
B
I never knew that.
- [63:13]
A
Yeah. Yeah. I had to live with that for three months. That was the time. We've gone through some.
- [63:19]
B
Do you remember when we did prison hacks on YouTube and they did, like, hot chicken and stuff? During all of that, you had all of that in your face. And I.
- [63:29]
A
She wasn't around then. I wasn't getting my makeup done by wipe then.
- [63:32]
B
Oh.
- [63:34]
A
The Addams Family house seen in the film was a real House at 21 Chester Place in Los Angeles, which had a third row tower added for its appearance of the movie. I wonder if it's for sale.
- [63:46]
B
Can we go? Can the Airbnb?
- [63:48]
C
I love how we were like, let's visit.
- [63:49]
A
She said, can I buy it? Uncle Fester was originally supposed to be played by Anthony Hopkins, who turned it down to play Hannibal Lecter.
- [63:59]
B
No way. Yeah. What a great switch up.
- [64:04]
A
Yeah. Although listed in the end credits as Granny, Judith Molina's character is never referred to as such in the film. She is only ever addressed as Mama or Grandmama, with the accent always on the final syllable. When the Addams family are kicked out of their home by Fester, they stay at the same hotel and in the same room as Gordon and his mother did in the beginning of the movie. The same paintings of John F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King, and Robert F. Kennedy are on the walls above the bed.
- [64:33]
B
I've never noticed.
- [64:34]
A
I wonder if they just didn't have a budget to get another room.
- [64:36]
B
I mean. Yeah, true, true. It was like, we're just gonna reuse.
- [64:39]
C
A lot of these facts are all that. They had, like, no budgets. Yeah. Which is wild.
- [64:44]
B
I mean, but we know being in film and stuff now, we literally, like. Yeah, we make some stuff work. When I think back to, like, the music videos we used to shoot and stuff, like. Like, you're literally in one corner doing this, in one corner doing that kind of thing.
- [64:58]
A
Uncle Fester's luggage has travel stickers from around the world. All of them are from dangerous places or locations with tragic histories.
- [65:08]
B
I'm gonna have to go look at this.
- [65:09]
A
We'll have to, like, Google, like, what's.
- [65:10]
B
On, see what they are.
- [65:12]
A
So the book that unlocks the vault for Gomez, titled Greed, is authored by JP Adams. This is a spoof on American banking tycoon John Piermore Morgan, or JP Morgan, whose bank banking industry is still around.
- [65:27]
B
Yeah.
- [65:27]
A
So they were pretty much calling him greedy.
- [65:29]
B
Greedy. Oh, my.
- [65:30]
A
That's like a little nugget. That's crazy. Movie composer Mark Scheiman has a cameo as a conductor of the orchestra during the Addams Family party.
- [65:39]
B
I love that.
- [65:40]
A
That's cool. The mystery hand thing was not a CGI creation. Instead, it was a puppet controlled by strings and operated by a puppeteer.
- [65:51]
B
Wow.
- [65:51]
A
It was a puppeteer doing that for a whole freaking movie. Crazy.
- [65:57]
B
Oh. So I wonder if they filmed it and then green screened it on so.
- [66:03]
A
You couldn't see the.
- [66:04]
B
The strings and stuff kind of thing. That's crazy.
- [66:08]
A
In order to gain Morticia's figure, Angelica Houston wore a metal corset. She also had to get gauze, eye lifts, neck tucks, and fake nails daily. She told Entertainment Weekly. Come afternoon, I could be prone to a really good headache from my various bandages. And because I couldn't lie down or rest, it was fairly exhausting. Oh, that's crazy.
- [66:35]
B
I couldn't imagine a metal corset no, absolutely not.
- [66:40]
A
No.
- [66:40]
B
That is what people do to their bodies is crazy.
- [66:44]
A
Yeah. According to Angelica Houston, Christina Richie, who played Wednesday, came up with Wednesday's sleeping position with her arms folded across her chest. So Christina Richie is the one who originally came up with that.
- [66:57]
B
What a great idea.
- [66:58]
A
Yeah. And those are my Adams family facts.
- [67:00]
B
I love those ones. I love. And I love what they've done with the Addams Family since.
- [67:05]
A
Oh, yeah. I love the.
- [67:06]
C
I like the new one.
- [67:07]
A
Yeah, me too.
- [67:07]
C
Great.
- [67:08]
A
Yeah.
- [67:08]
B
I know the new. And then, like, the cartoons that they've done for the kids. Like, my kids are like. The number two is actually really funny. And like, to incorporate Snoop Dogg into, like.
- [67:17]
C
Yeah.
- [67:18]
B
Freaking series is so.
- [67:20]
A
I feel like Snoop Dogg is the uncle you see everywhere.
- [67:22]
B
Everywhere.
- [67:23]
A
Like, he is literally. He's the definition of, like. I think he's, like, almost in his 60s, right? Like, he's the definition of reinventing yourself all the time.
- [67:32]
B
I'm looking up how old Snoop is.
- [67:34]
A
Yeah, he's got to be close to 60, 62.
- [67:39]
B
How old is Snoopa Loop? 53.
- [67:43]
A
Damn. Why'd I think he was. I thought he was close to 60. I feel bad. Don't hold it against me. Damn. We love you, Stoop. Love you. You're my dog. You're my boy Blue. All right, we're out of here. On that note. Gotta go. Love you. See you. Bye.
