What up, babysitters? We're back. As you can see. You can't see. And for you audio people. So Sid and I have been planning this Halloween episode for a while now, and we wanted to surprise each other.
B
Tb, You've been planning it for a while now.
A
I know. Okay, it was just me on air. We wanted to surprise each other with our Halloween costumes. So up to this point, we have no prior knowledge of what the other one has on. And, yeah, this is just the big reveal. And also, we can't guess what the other one's wearing. There's been threats to quit the pod, so there's a lot of pressure on this moment. Okay, so any words? Any final words?
B
Finally final words. What's about to happen? No, no, I just want to see if. I just want to see if either of us are actually going to guess the other ones correctly. And if you can't see because you only listen, then that means that you need to start watching our pod. So joke's on you.
A
Or there's other avenues. Sorry about Sid's attitude. You could just check social, most likely, and you'll be able to see it there as well. No pressure, though.
B
All right. All right, show me you.
A
Okay, I'm gonna count down in three.
B
Three, two. Okay, so three, two. Okay, ready?
A
Three, two, what?
B
Three, two. After one. No, after one. Not on one.
A
After, after one. Yep, after one. So three, two, one, and then go.
B
Okay. Okay.
A
Like how you used to play rock paper scissors, man.
B
Just do it. Three.
A
Okay, Matt.
B
Three.
A
What?
B
Three, two, one.
A
One.
B
Oh, my. Sid.
A
Wait. Sid.
B
I don't know what I'm looking at.
A
I'm straight from the Louvre, baby. Straight from the Louvre. Mona Lisa is here with you.
B
Did you take that on vacation?
A
Yes. I'm so committed to this bit that I brought this on vacation. Also hilarious. My room naturally had this picture that matches frames with me, so I'm matching frames with mine in room picture. Wait, Sid.
B
Oh, my gosh, bro.
A
You're a little blurry.
B
I'm a little blurry. Can you see me?
A
So you have a mustache? You have a dog.
B
Call, sit your five dollar ass down before I make change. Call, sit your $5 ass down before I make change. You know, do you know what it is?
A
No.
B
You don't know who I am?
A
No, but it's probably just a poor representation.
B
So because of this extreme cultural difference between us, I am gonna have to quit.
A
Well, it was fun while it did last.
B
No, no. For sure, man. I'm Martin from the episode where they Stole his. He thought somebody stole his CD player. TP's Mona Lisa, but. So you. You have a pillow? Is it a pillow?
A
No, this is just a picture frame. It's just a cloth picture frame.
B
A cloth picture frame.
A
This is the Mona Lisa. Like, I have a hand slit so that I can be active.
B
Yeah. No, the whole time I was looking, I was like, what's actually. What's actually going on?
A
It's probably me.
B
Like this actually. Oh, my gosh. And this takes me back to the show where on the episode where you looked like the. The Victorian white woman. Yeah, Colonial white woman. And like, I was like, how did you pick this room, too? It was fate. Wow.
A
It was fate. They must have knew that I was going to be Mona Lisa.
B
For I'm so mad because I ripped the tag off this so that I could.
A
So now you send it back, turn it.
B
No, but now I was like, it's going to be kind of like a memento.
A
So, like, I've seen a lot of Martin episodes. Not this, but I didn't remember that one specifically.
B
Yeah, specifically, for sure. Specifically, like me making fun of. Remember when I was making fun of.
A
When you're specific.
B
Wait, but remember when I was speech and Marty was like, wait, no, sis. She's like, in speech there because of her eye, how hard she got hit. And I was like, oh, my.
A
I'm literally going to talk through my issues with my. With my speech therapist. And you're like, yeah. You're slurring your words, you idiot. And then, yeah, I severed a nerve in my face. Thanks, dude.
B
I was like, it's permanent.
A
Thanks for asking.
B
I'm so sorry. But, girl, you did mispronounce spur.
A
But, babe, even still, she did say.
B
Play the song unsupervised. Unsupervised. Wait, hold on.
A
This is the first time Mona Lisa's ever sang unsupervised.
B
Oh, and Martin at the.
A
Okay, we say what we want. Okay, we say what we. And yeah, we looking down on haters. Cause they smaller than us and yeah, my flow is so depth I be coughing it up. You said that we going flat. Well, then I'm calling your blood call.
B
I don't know if you recognize anything around me and want to address my responsibility.
A
I would like to. I said, look at my hand. I'm touching my. I would personally like to thank our brother.
B
Sir, could you get your hands off of Monalisa's breath?
A
The police come bust out my door. They tackle me to the ground for assaulting and painting and I'm like.
B
It'S the TSA worker from Atlanta.
A
I'm like, oh, God, not two.
B
Thank the sponsors.
A
So we want to thank our sponsors. They're really coming through for us strong. We still have this many. And for those audio listeners. No, you didn't miss anything. When I said this many.
B
I just held up 0, 0, zilch, nada.
A
But all press is good brush. You guys keep us young. I will also like to say we might have an international audience, if we don't already have one. I've met these eight lovely ladies at the pool. They're from. What are the islands off of Britain?
B
There's so many, huh?
A
Anyway, they're from some islands off of Britain. They were awesome. They love the show. They love the idea. So, hey, what's up, y'? All? Oh, wait. See y' all later at the pool.
B
Oh, that's so dope that they said that and that they're watching.
A
Yeah. See, for all you Spanish speakers, yo soy in Mexico.
B
Estoy. Right, Sid, I don't want to hear.
A
A word about you correcting my Spanish until you fulfill your Spanish lessons.
B
Wow, that was below the belt. Down, down. Sit.
A
Le. You're actually insane. You're in San Antonio.
B
All right, y', all, so let's start this episode off with some positive news, okay?
A
Karaoke, baby. I'm just kidding. This is gonna be a full blown Halloween episode. And we're talking Halloween. And we're talking elements of Halloween. Halloween. We're talking Halloween music. And best of all, this or that, Halloween style.
B
Okay, tp, you talk about. Talk about your Halloween. Mine's a pretty short story.
A
We weren't, like, a bit. We weren't big Halloween people, I would say. We did have a lot of kids in my neighborhood. The kids that we would, like, rush to go play with after school. Like, up the street. You, like, ride.
B
Yes.
A
You get up.
B
Yeah.
A
Play. Also, in my neighborhood, I had, like, a lot of cousins in my neighborhood, and my grandma, like, all lived, like, within, like, 20 houses of one another. So we would just, like, walk. I, like, ran away to my grandma's house one time, and I thought I was, like, really doing some.
B
It wasn't for.
A
No.
B
Your parents, like, watch you. They just watch you get down there to the end of the street. They're like, all right.
A
They're like, all right. She made it. I, like, coincidentally had dinner, took a bath, and then, like, all of a sudden, my dad was, like, coincidentally there to pick me up around bedtime. So that was it. But anyway, we Would dress up all together for Halloween and go trick or treating as, like, a big cousin group. And it was so much fun. But we would meet up at my grandma's house and go trick or treating.
B
Yeah.
A
I remember we weren't, like, big into, like, scary trick or treating. It was more like just dress up in your favorite things trick or treating. We weren't down for the scary at all. And I think that I can actually show this picture. One of my best costumes. I think I was a pirate. And I had, like, the eye patch. I had a full, like.
B
Oh, yeah. That was the way you said.
A
Yeah. And it's very cute. Audio people. Again, you're probably gonna have to check social for this, but.
B
Like, look. Everybody looking like Kid Rock. You look like Kid Rock dressed up as a little kid being a pirate. That's what you look like.
A
It's like when your parents used to, like, put people in costumes that, you know, that kid didn't want to be like. This wasn't child chosen. This was parent chosen.
B
This was you.
A
My parents wanted a kid Rock. I did pick that. And my brother was Zorro.
B
Yeah. Yeah. Scotty looks good as Zorro. But tp, you just had. You just have unlimited swag. Because, like, look at you as a little kid.
A
Like, I was swaggy from the get go. I got picked on all the time, but it never crushed my spirit.
B
They were hating on you. That's what it was.
A
They didn't want to see this pirate succeed.
B
I hate that for you.
A
But here. Here I am.
B
That's so fun.
A
Also, another thing is, like, yeah. Whenever we would go trick or treating, my mom is very. My mom lives a very healthy lifestyle even to this day.
B
Yeah.
A
And we were only allowed to keep, like, two pieces of Halloween candy. And the first couple years. It does. It did come as a surprise. We're like, oh, no, not this shit again, mom. But we couldn't say that. So you just have to start being smarter. So you started, like, hiding, like, the good candy. You didn't put it in the bucket. You would, like, hide it in your pocket. So you had a secret stash on your person.
B
Yeah.
A
That we didn't.
B
But then it, like, melts, so we only.
A
So you had to. Exactly. But you had to work smarter, not harder, at that point.
B
Yeah.
A
And that was the adjustment that Scotty and I had to make, was that we just started hiding the candy instead of keeping in the bucket.
B
That's smart. But wait, a lot of your parents.
A
Honestly, I would recommend it.
B
Yeah.
A
I would never Got caught though.
B
Yeah. That doesn't make any sense.
A
Sorry, mom and dad for lying to you for all those years early on. That was years ago though, so hopefully we can.
B
I text my mom, tp. I was like, good morning. I'm about to record our pod. Let me know why you didn't let us trick or treat as kids. She said, fear, period. Simple. She said, I think you all did a few times, but I would not let you all eat the candy. I said, I don't think we did. Lol. You made that up. She said, I think so, because I recall throwing away candy that could have been any time of year, lady. She said. And then she said, all right. My mom texts so formally, like it's an email. I think so because I recall throwing away candy, period. Maybe you were not born, period. I think we did in Channel View, period. How about Northwest Park? And then she started naming other places where we live. I said, lmao, yeah, it definitely doesn't count if I wasn't born so. And then she said, so that makes you the ly. I said, loser. Question mark, Question mark. She said, yes. Laughing emojis. I said, I thought you thought it was. I said, wow, lmao. I thought you thought it was demonic or something. Lol. She responded, I probably did, period. I was in a phase, period. I stopped decorating. I stopped decorating for Christmas for a while, period. I think you are right, period. She said. I said, well, what do you think now? What do you think of Halloween now? As a grandmother, I still think it can be dark depending on who is celebrating, period. I think it is okay if it is jolly and kid, like fun, period. If it gets dark, I'm out, period.
A
What really killed me, what really killed me in my childhood was when parents would make it seem like there was visible razor blades, like stuffed in the Tootsie Rolls. And you'd be like, definitely don't eat that. Look at that thing popping out. It's a meth needle. And you're like, yeah, my mom told.
B
Us to watch out for needles, like digging in the candy and digging in the bags. I'm like, my mom instilled a sort of paranoia in me when you hear all the things that I have to say. TB sometimes. All my warnings. I know. Sometimes you're like, dang. I'm like, yeah, my mom did this to me.
A
Well, look, my hands are up.
B
I'm like, I have a deep mistrust for everything and everyone, but I play it off real cool.
A
But I'm like, yeah, like you do. You come with your doubt. But you definitely do have doubt about literally everything, including ordering food at every restaurant we've ever been to in our lives. But it's also funny because we had a dentist in our neighborhood, and, like, you know, candy gives you cavities if you don't brush your teeth. And I guess he thought he was doing the right thing, so he gave everybody, like, a dentist pack or you got, like, a bubblegum toothpaste, and, like.
B
Hey, do you remember his name?
A
Toothbrush. I don't.
B
All right, well, let's give him a big L. That's lame. Wait, is that the right way? Never the right way. Dang it. Whenever I do it wrong, I'm like, well, I'm the loser now. Well, I just want to say if. Hey, if. Hey, if you're watching this, sir, like, how would he be watching this?
A
Mr. Bob Watsky. That was my orthodontist. I don't know.
B
I was like, you know his name? Oh, okay.
A
No, no, that was my orthodontist. I spent a lot. He spent a lot of hours in this mouth. Years. Three and a half. Oh.
B
Big, big pause. Okay, all right, I'm gonna go back in. She said, I'm gonna go back in, listeners. And she went back inside of the Mona Lisa painting. She previously.
A
It is a little toasty in here.
B
It's creepy tv. It kind of looks like you're going like you're in the birth canal, like you're about to be reborn as Mona Lisa. Yeah, keep coming through. That would be so scary to see a baby come out like that.
A
I'm talking about in it.
B
Okay, stop. All right, so, you know, I really didn't celebrate Halloween, y'. All. TP's just doing a bunch of dances. Modern animal.
A
I'm talking about Mona Lisa right now.
B
Oh, shit.
A
Okay. I'm gonna get it together.
B
No, no, no.
A
Have it way too fun. We're never gonna be allowed to have a themed episode again if I don't get it together.
B
No, no. I like this energy, too. Keep it up, girlie. So, as you heard in the text messages, I really didn't celebrate Halloween or my family did before I was born. So in my.
A
Again exclude you from celebrating Halloween.
B
Right. So. So Amari and I started watching. Started doing, like, 31 days of Halloween. I think Freeform was. They had some, like, recommendations. And.
A
Have you seen Halloween movies before this before?
B
Yeah, I've seen, but I wasn't. I wasn't really big on sitting up to watch him. Like, I'm still not. But I just did it with her. We didn't do every single night, but we did watch some old throwbacks. So I had never seen the Haunted Mansion. Did you ever see that one?
A
I love the Haunted Mansion. I love the ride at Disney. We should go together.
B
Okay. Are you asking me out and then I'm not? Hocus Pocus. I've never seen Hotel Transylvania.
A
You just skipped through Hocus Pocus. Hocus Pocus, I know, is maybe an emphasis. Also, time out. Before we start, y' all comment below, add your favorite movies that we don't that we either said or didn't say. Let's know what you guys are watching as well. So Hocus Pocus was a big one that I watched that almost every year on Disney Channel.
B
Yeah, Yeah, I loved Hocus Pocus, but I. I also had seen that one, so that was why I didn't give it much attention. But that was wrong to me that, that movie. All those engine. What? Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker. Wait, did they do. They did. Yeah. And then they did a remake not long ago.
A
They did. They. They did a late in life remake, which I do appreciate because that movie was. Yeah, like standalone.
B
It was one of the like, few. Like sometimes I hate when they try to redo a movie or do like a part two. It's like, no, it was perfect at part one.
A
Just like, leave it at that.
B
Just leave it at that. But they were so good.
A
Which brings us to my next point. Halloween Town. Have you seen that one?
B
Yeah. Yeah. Halloween Town.
A
They should have just stopped at one. It got. It got weird. Oh, did it after the first one?
B
Yeah. Oh, I don't remember Halloween Town, but I know I watched it because I was on Disney. It was like as a kid.
A
Yeah, I don't really. I don't really remember it fully, but I do remember watching it like it was a staple as well on the Disney Channel.
B
Yeah, well, you want to know what I did watch?
A
Oh, I need to know what you watched.
B
Mom's Got a Date with a Vampire. Another Disney classic.
A
Oh, I forgot about that one.
B
Mom's Got a Date with a Vampire. Man, that movie was so good. Yeah.
A
Who was the blonde lady? The blonde mom.
B
She was in Sabrina the Teenage Witch.
A
Yes, she was. Okay, yeah, that one was a banger.
B
Aunt Hilda. I think that was her.
A
I didn't watch that one.
B
No, no, no, I'm saying that was her name in Sabrina the Teenage Witch. I think her name was Aunt Hilda. But that one was. That movie was so crazy. Cause I'm like, if my little sibling comes and tells me, like, all right, once we've already seen that, like, the dude disappeared. Cause they weren't believing the little brother. That mom was dating a vampire. Cause he saw him turn into a bat outside the grocery store at the beginning of the movie. Oh, y', all, Sorry. Spoiler alert. As if this movie isn't over two decades old.
A
This is a quick segment of spoiler alert.
B
But quick second, it's like, should there be a spoiler alert on something that's been out 20? If you haven't watched it in that amount of time, that's on you.
A
Yeah.
B
So I'm talking about it. So the guy turns into a bat outside of the grocery store. Or he, like, walks up the wall. One of those two. It was crazy. But then by the time that he told the brother and sister, like, outside of a restaurant, they followed the mom and the vampire there. So when the older brother, he went in, first of all, the younger brother went in there and confronted the dude at the dinner.
A
And the mom was never a vampire. Head on.
B
But this is why parents believe your kids. Okay. Like, the boy said, he's a vampire. They dismissed it.
A
Oh.
B
Even the older brother, he was like, oh, like, so sorry. Blah, blah, blah. They're walking out. He's looking in the mirror and looks back because he can't see who's sitting with his mom at dinner. At that point, I'm in go mode. Like, I'm not leaving out of the restaurant. Like, we're. I'm going to get my sister from outside, and we're fighting right there. Or like, also call your older boyfriend, because I think the sister was dating someone much older than you.
A
Yeah. I remember her being in a car with a guy.
B
Yeah. Maybe they were in high school, though. But also, check on your kids in high school. Make sure they're not dating grown men who are weird. Let's just normalize checking in with our kids. Yeah. Actually being in their business. Cause in our house, there was no. Like, that's my business. Or, this is my room. My mom.
A
No, it's our business.
B
We pay for everything in here. Anything under this roof.
A
Point out one thing that you could afford.
B
Anything under this roof.
A
You sit there like, dumb. Like, right.
B
Like, this is my business, my house. So. All right. Yeah, y'.
A
All.
B
Not to tell you how to parent, but definitely do better. A lot of you.
A
So also, we don't have kids for a reason.
B
For a reason. So anyways, the movie's great, y'. All. They didn't believe the younger brother until they did. And then the movie really, really gets good. So go watch it, and go watch the other. Well, it's not 31 days left now. Way to be late, y'. All. By the time you see this. By the time you see this, a day that's on them.
A
Tp, that's so much pressure. Y' all are gonna have to binge watch it on double speed to get through. But y' all can do it. I faith in, like, if anybody can do it, it's the babysitters.
B
Babysitters, baby sitters, baby sitters. We believe in y'. All.
A
We do. We have so much faith in you guys.
B
Somebody takes us so seriously. They're, like, up all night. They do not make it to work. They're fired.
A
Don't miss work for this, y'. All. Yeah, but also, can we talk about, like, you actually like scary movies. Like, this is the episode where it's, like, appropriate for you to talk about, like, your love for scary movies. Because, like, I have never been. I've been convinced to watch a few. Like, don't get me wrong, I've seen, like, in my opinion, some of the scariest. This one called the Orphan. Nobody watched that. It's terrifying.
B
You're late. They've already watched.
A
Yeah, that's another one that, like, you probably should have watched because it's now a decade old. But don't watch it if you haven't, because it is so sick on. So it's sick and twisted on so many levels. But there is a crazy twist. But the movie is all in all twisted. So I wouldn't recommend. I wouldn't watch it again, trust me. I remember parts of that movie very vividly, and it haunts me to this day.
B
Yeah.
A
Also, I guess another movie under my scary movie list would be Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Oh, yeah, that is creepy, because it was real. It actually happened. They made a movie on that. Oh, yeah, The Hills have. See, I couldn't get to that one. That's the one.
B
I broke a chair. I broke a chair in a theater because I, like, kicked the back of it, like, because I was so terrified. Sorry, AMC or wherever that was. But I think you fixed it by now, I hope. But yeah, that movie was. If not, that's on you. But that movie.
A
What's up with you in chairs? You're involved. Like, there's a lot of stories in your life that you're involved with a chair. Like the bullying thing. Now, AMC and Scary Movie, I got to think. But that one was scary because it was real. It was, like, based on real events and that. It's crazy that somebody lived like that. A and B, people were still going out there.
B
Nuts.
A
Like, why would you go out there? Like, I would never ever, ever, ever in a million years drive down that long road that they drove down. Like, what? What were y' all going see scary.
B
Movies versus, like, true crime. What's scarier to you? Because some of them.
A
Oh, like, what's scary to me is like.
B
Like, why are you so afraid?
A
Maybe I'm. Maybe I'm crazy. But I like true crime. Like, I love true crime. I love Dateline.
B
Me too.
A
I don't like. Like, I can do thrillers and stuff. Like, I can do a little, like, suspense here and there, but please don't chop anybody's arm off. Don't, like, skin somebody and then wear it. Definitely don't do an exorcism or any kind of. Like, don't, like, bend backwards and twist your neck sideways. Like, I don't want that in my life. I could do without. But also I find Dateline and true.
B
Sierra literally bends her back. Bends her back. You're gonna have to do that in your choreo, so you can't be scared of it. Can you do a little back then?
A
I don't know. I gotta, like, you know, I. I am gonna do my Sierra ride video, but I need to stretch and I need to, like, do some physical therapy before. I said physical therapy.
B
Do it, do it.
A
You should, I will say, though, yeah, I like watching Dateline because society makes you feel like criminals are like. Like these people that, like, you see every day and they're gonna, like, kill you and all this stuff. No, it's actually Benjamin from next door that you had no idea was cutting up people and putting them in his freezer. You had an idea that Benjamin was off, but Benjamin also came across as, like, just minding his own business. Average build, average looking guy. But really, Benjamin is who we need to be scared of. Also, all these white people want to be like, oh, black people commit crimes. Watch Dateline. How many black families are we seeing on Dateline? Not many. Not many at all. The percentages are extremely low. And you know how many seasons of Dateline there are? Over 30.
B
And you know that they criminalize black people. So there would definitely be more black families if it was really happening. Like, it would look like the news. It should mirror, like, the regular news.
A
Exactly. And also what's crazy is that, like, these are regular people that get Murdered over. Like, essentially nothing. Like it's so crazy liking somebody else. Yeah, just get a divorce on, like, yeah, like, you just wanting power and control. Like, there's nothing that was like, oh, like, divorce. I'm going to have to kill her when I get out of this hospital bed. Like, there's no stories like that that are just like, you had it coming. It's just like, no, people are psychotic. And to see what these regular ass people look like murdering people. I'm like, holy shit. Yeah, Dateline's real. And that's what gets me.
B
It's nuts. That's why you shouldn't trust anybody. Like, walk around with an extreme distrust of people even when you know them. I still. I'll just check a friend every now and then. Did you. You stole something from me. Just see, like, how they respond.
A
Just started that one time that I came to your room when you were about to shower and you had a stack of quarters on your coffee table. And before you took a shower, y'. All. I came into her room. She's about to shower. I'm sitting on her couch. There's a stack of quarters sitting on the coffee table. And Cindy's like, keeps emphasizing, like, also, I hear the shower running and she's like, I'm about to shower. I'm about to shower. I'm like, just do it already. Like, I'll just wait here. Again. She, like, slowly slides the quarter stack off the table and brings it with her into the bathroom. I'm like, were you afraid I would steal your cord? Your stack of quarters? It was probably at most 375 worth of quarters. Like, you did not have a lot of quarters there. And we're friends. Look at me, I'm Mona Lisa telling you this. Like, I'm trying to tell you how it made me feel as a friend. For some reason, I have to have Italian hands. It feels like I'm more in character trying to tell you how that made me feel. I'm so sorry, but actually it was really messed up.
B
I'm just, you know, I'm trying to build my wealth. Every. Every penny counts. And so I promise it's not personal. Girl, it's not personal. You know what? One of the four agreements. Don't take it personally. Right? Don't make assumptions.
A
Yeah, right.
B
Some there was one or more. And then do your best. Okay.
A
Within two weeks. Nowadays, Sid, that probably wouldn't even got me lunch. Not even like a coffee from Starbucks. I know.
B
I wanted something out the vending machine. I wanted something out the vending machine, though. Speaking of, I used to steal out the vending machine in middle school so much I. I stuck my hand under the thing and sometimes I would be able to change my. Sometimes I would be able to, like, pull the flap and I could feel if there was a can, like, nearby. And then Sprite.
A
What?
B
And then I. Yeah. So Sprite sponsor us.
A
Would you ever.
B
Because I didn't have to say Sprite. I could have said anything. Huh?
A
Yeah. Sprite sponsor us. Because she could have literally named off any other. There's other options out there. Other great options even. But we specifically named off Sprite.
B
Yep.
A
So what?
B
You're listening.
A
Did you ever steal for, like, somebody else? Like, if you were in a group, you're like, oh, let me show you this party trick. And you would only steal one for you or would you get one for the people around you as well?
B
For me. Any close, close friends. Close friends.
A
So I had smaller.
B
But I wouldn't tell them how. Like, I wouldn't tell them how I got it. I would just appear at the table with it.
A
I was like, too. My arm was too large compared to all my friends arms.
B
Oh, so you couldn't get your elbow in to maneuver?
A
No, I would just, like, body it from the side. Like, body.
B
Oh, yeah.
A
You know when, like, somebody's.
B
That would work too.
A
Bag of chips got stuck. Yeah, I would like, body that thing.
B
Are vending machines in school still? We'll have to go into schools and investigate this.
A
So schools, if you do need us to come public speak, let us know. You can reach us at unsupervised Sid tv.
B
Thanks.
A
Wait, Sid, you never said if you like. If you like scary movies or true crime better.
B
Wait, T.P. okay. I like true crime. I like true crime. You know that.
A
Sid, did you like, when you were growing up, did you ever. I know. Obviously trick or treating wasn't in the cards before you were on this earth, but did you ever, like, pumpkin carve or, like BOB for apples or, like, go to a haunted house?
B
Pumpkin carve. Yeah. Which is dangerous. Make sure y' all are doing it and not your kids. Don't let them use the knives or whatever it is.
A
Pumpkin carving is the number one reason why people end up in hospitals during Halloween. During Halloween time. So just be aware. Be aware again, check on your kids. Make sure they're safely. Pumpkin carving. I. We pumpkin carved. I. Yeah, at school I did hone in. We have to like.
B
Oh, really? Yeah, yeah, go.
A
No, at. We used to bop for apples, like, in school. And like kids would cheat. But also I'm like, there's. Thinking back, I have so much regret about bobbing for apples. Cuz I was like, that is some disgusting ass ill water games. But also like half of the apples would have like a piece of like bite that kid couldn't get. And you were like, oh yeah, that looks like leverage. I can get that one. It was actually insane. But yeah, I bobbed for apples a few times, but I didn't do many haunted houses. I got coerced into going to a haunted house. But there was incentive there. Okay, so we would have to do defensive conditioning for anyone that played in college. You knew that preseason was a killer. You would have two a days, which really was like four days, sorry, compliance coming clean now. But we would have defensive conditioning and it was absolutely miserable. You know coach Starkey. Yeah, so coach Starkey used to run our defensive conditioning Fridays. And it was like the turning point from where you could do preseason workouts and practices to like really start working out was roughly around like the beginning of October, I guess. So like haunted houses were out. There's a haunted house in Baton Rouge that's been ranked like in the top three of the US like scariest haunted houses. The line to get into that thing is like hours long. Like it was a lot. And coach Starkey said, okay, if everybody goes to the haunted house tonight and you all make it through, this was a Thursday. He was like, we don't have to do defensive conditioning tomorrow. On Friday you get an off day instead. So we had some people that were like, hard nose. We're like, come on, just do it. I was only down so I didn't have to run tomorrow. So we start the haunted house, we get everybody to show up. There's this one girl, she is a post player. She's one of like the taller girls on the team and she's freaking out. And they bring us up in groups. Like you go with your group, but there's like a few stragglers of like randos in there with you. And so like, and there's multi multiple levels and different themes of this haunted house. Like you start off and like the people are in chainsaws and there's like a clown space where they can like come up and like almost touch you. And like, it's really weird. There was like a baby clown in a crib that was like really scary. Scary. Anyway, it was very scary. Before we even get started, we get off the elevator, they bring you to the top floor, you get off the elevator. It literally starts. One of my teammates pukes on the back of somebody. That person had to be medically removed from the haunted house. We were all like, oh, my God.
B
If we have to run tomorrow, we're.
A
Going to kill you. So we had to decide in that moment, like, if we just, like, push through. Yeah, no, we did. And Coach Darkey. Thank God Coach Starkey gave us off that day because we did try. The person had to get medically removed. We were like, she wanted to go. Yeah, not really. If she puked.
B
She was so scared that she puked.
A
She was so scared that she puked also.
B
You can tell, like, this was so scary for you because you remember so many details about the haunted house. Like, it was crazy.
A
But I had teammates that were more scared than me that, like, ultimately made me less afraid because I, like, saw what true fear looked like in their eyes. And so, like, I was at least, like, in a place where I was scared but not that scared. And somebody. They were losing it. Losing it completely.
B
We went to one. We went to one last night. I went to one with. With Arian Lexi out here. It wasn't.
A
What was it?
B
It wasn't that. It wasn't that scary. There were a couple of different houses, but they also couldn't touch you. I was like, yeah, I'm only going if they can't touch us. They said there's one house, though, where they can. Like, you gotta sign a waiver. They put a bag over your head. You're, like, walking through. You get, like, shocked or, like, zapped by something. I'm like, oh, absolutely not. Absolutely not.
A
That happened.
B
Yeah, but not to me. So I just ended the night with an apple cider and drove back home with Eri.
A
That's also very festive. You. That's, like, very October of you.
B
Good for you. Thank you. No, but that's crazy. You were really. You were that. That scared that you remember this much about it? I love that.
A
No, it was terrifying, and I never did it again. But, yeah. What a time to be alive.
B
All right, T.P. well, other things that got dressed up. I don't know if you saw the City Edition courts for the NBA, but Minnesota, they got purple jerseys with. I think there's something from Purple Rain as a patch on the shoulder part of their jersey. And on the courts, they got Prince's emblem in the middle, and it's like a shout out to him. Yo, did you know that Prince had the Lynx team over one of the ones that, like, Maya Simone, Lindsey, like, one of those Teams and Seal had them over. I think it was. Maybe that's better than a White House.
A
That's better than a White House visit, especially right now.
B
Yeah. They said he had them over. He had them over and, like, performed what? Mm. I got a fact check with somebody I'm gonna hit, because I know for sure I heard this, and I'm like, no way. But, you know, he lived. He lived in.
A
Before that, he was a big supporter of the Links and a big supporter of the Timberwolves.
B
Yeah, I think so. I don't know so much the.
A
So, I mean, it is. It is believable to a certain extent.
B
So that was really cool to see their court, but. But it got me thinking, like, what would your city's picture in the middle be for New Orleans or whatever? Like, whatever. If you have a favorite city.
A
I feel like New Orleans, we, like. We're the Pelicans, Right. For the NBA team. Shout out to the Pelicans. I know y' all are doing yalls best, just like the Saints are. But with that being said, like, we have a really rich, like, voodoo tradition here in New Orleans, and I think that would be really cool to have, like, potions and, like, neon skulls and, like, bones and stuff to, like, fill up our court and have, like, a little voodoo vibe. I think they did that one year for our city edition. They, like, turned the pelican into a skeleton, and they called him a.
B
Like.
A
Yeah.
B
Oh, take the feathers off and stuff.
A
Yeah. And he was just obviously the court like this.
B
Oh, that's terrifying. You as Mona Lisa acting like a pelican skeleton.
A
He doesn't have a smile on his face either. So that was also a misrepresentation of what that skeleton looked like on the court. But we can just bring Zion on the show, and he can explain himself with everything and what was actually on the court anyway. But I do think that we could do, like, a really cool voodoo theme.
B
Yeah.
A
And I always think those, like, voodoo top hats look really cool.
B
Yeah.
A
Have that top hat involved somehow.
B
Wait, so what. So the top. The top hat is the.
A
No, I have, like, a skeleton with, like, bags of bones and, like, just different, like, voodoo elements. But that skeleton is wearing a top hat.
B
Okay.
A
That you would expect from, like, someone doing voodoo, I guess.
B
Okay. Okay. Okay.
A
All right. Do you have one for any city or. Houston.
B
Houston. I think we could have. We could have a rocket on there for NASA strip pole for the strippers that are popular in the city.
A
Not you doing a NASA stripper collab.
B
Some rims on there and booty cheeks.
A
Hey.
B
And some syrup. Some purple. Some purple drink.
A
That was absolutely super unhealthy, Court. If. If Houston came out, they're like, hey, this represents us. And it was everything that you just named a. We have to sue them. Because you came up with that idea. It just so happened to have, like, some purple syrup in the corner. Like, we did mention that we would have to sue them, but also, that would be so funny.
B
That would be hilarious. People were like, does this represent you? No.
A
Does it not?
B
You're hilarious.
A
They're like, no, no, no. I'm not really into space.
B
What is wrong with you? Oh, my gosh.
A
What's wrong with Mona, y'?
B
All?
A
I know we typically have our segment called Soapbox, Sid. But today I just have something to say. I'm taking over completely. It's called Totebox TV. And I'm bringing to you. Thriller is number 22 on any chart, much less a Halloween chart. That blows my mind, Sid. Let's get into it. Thriller was TikTok. They have a whole app worth millions and millions and billions of dollars that people are trying to now steal that. Michael Jackson was doing that in the 80s. So I'm like, he came up with a. Yeah. Way before Tick Tock. And also even before there was a platform to use it. Like, you were just. And everybody knew the dance. When people know the dance today, I'm like, dang, that's hella cool. But I'm like, what songs beat out Thriller?
B
You know what? I don't think that many do. And you know that obviously I've. I've let you know that I'm not a big Halloween person.
A
Right.
B
But, like, if I were to listen to a spooky or, like, Halloween song, like, that's the first one that I'm going to, probably.
A
Yeah. Because I feel like you could touch all generations when some kids are like, who's Michael Jackson? I was like, we're there. We're at that point where, like, kids don't know who Michael Jackson is. And then you learn and they start dancing. I was like, yeah, that's why he's the king of pop.
B
Right? Which. Here we go. Short soapbox segment. Stop trying to compare Michael Jackson to, like, people of today's time. Okay? Period. Nobody is or will ever be like, Michael Jackson in status. When you had stars from back then, like, Michael Jackson would go places and people would be crying and fainting. Crying and fainting. And not because, like, it's so, like, full or they're like, claustrophobic. You're at the site of this man performing, you're passing out. So. And this is world, and this is, like, worldwide without social media. People are just. They're telling people word of mouth, or you see it on the news. If you're hitting the top of the TV and you can pick up a signal and another gun, like, that's how this is going down. This man was unbelievable. Don't compare anybody else to him.
A
On top of that, like, Michael Jackson was up there solo performing. Yeah, he had background dancers, but they were just that they were in that background filling space. Michael Jackson was full blown performing dances and moves that people have yet to be able to pull off today. Some of the most talented dancers of today have not been able to perform. And also, at the age that Michael Jackson was performing, I remember watching his last concert on tv.
B
Yeah.
A
And the way that he moonwalked across the stage, like, I remember getting the chills. Like, I got the chills right now thinking about watching him do that.
B
Insane.
A
But everybody else needs background dancers. They need people to, like, perform with them. Michael Jackson was a solo act.
B
Yep.
A
He had Jackson 5 to start, honestly. But we know Jackson 5. We know, baby Michael, He.
B
He was incredible. Only person I thought could moonwalk and dance like. Like Michael Jackson was my Uncle Randy. I remember being a kid, we'd be in the front yard, he be moonwalking. My Uncle Randy. Uncle Randy. No.
A
I didn't know.
B
No. He would backflip and stuff. I'm like, oh, my gosh dang.
A
Your Uncle Randy did?
B
Yeah.
A
He would moonwalk into a backflip. Uncle Randy, if you still got it in you, we got to see this dude.
B
I know.
A
I'm going, that sounds incredible.
B
Make him do it on the spot. Here we are, y'. All. We're gonna play this or that. Candy edition. All right, tp. So I'm gonna ask you some. You gotta give your quick answer, and then you ask me yours.
A
Okay.
B
You ready?
A
I'm ready.
B
Fun dip or Pixie Sticks? Three. Ooh.
A
Fun dip all day.
B
One. Okay. Duncaroos or Wonder Ball? Five.
A
Four. Dunkaroos. Wonder Ball was so underwhelming to me. I hated that it was just a regular chocolate ball with a little shitty prize in the middle. And I'm like, all this for just some bland milk chocolate is kind of crazy. So 1,000% Dunkaroos. Like, at least they had, like, the sprinkle element to the icing.
B
Okay. Respect.
A
Okay.
B
All right, well, then give me your fun Dip or Pixy Stix? And give me your reason.
A
I like Fun Dip because Pixie sticks were good. But when you dipped the fun dip, I think specifically in, like, the Blooner.
B
Blue.
A
Blue or green one, and then you licked it, and the stick itself would turn like that color, either blue or green, whatever the. The different color of the powder was. I like that element of just, like, color changing.
B
Okay, respect. I like Pixie sticks better than I like being able to rip it off, really throw it back like.
A
So did you like the really big Pixie sticks that were, like, a foot long?
B
No, I didn't.
A
Okay, wait. What was your favorite Pixie stick?
B
Probably. I think it was red.
A
Yeah, the red one was best.
B
Okay, next one for you. Altoid sours or retro sours?
A
Oh, I don't know. That's tough for me. I did like the Altoid Sours because they had, like, the mango, the tangerine. They came in that really cool little, like, silver, like.
B
Yeah, things. That was the retro sours. Maybe both. Maybe they both did. I don't know.
A
But they were. They were bomb.
B
Okay. And okay, lastly, Granny Edition Butterscotch Cream Savers, or that strawberry candy that literally was wrapped like, it looked like a strawberry.
A
Oh, does those even have a name? Because I just called them, like, the strawberry candies. We have to look up and see if those have.
B
I'm sure they have a name.
A
Okay. Butterscotch is a hard no for me because I would prefer caramel over butterscotch.
B
Okay.
A
And so that means it's down to cream savers or strawberry candies. And that's gonna be a difficult decision, because the cream Savers, they're strawberry.
B
Strawberry. Strawberry bon bons to let you know.
A
Okay. The strawberry bon bons, I think, are my number one. I like the little center that was a little soft.
B
Yeah.
A
I can't tell, but it was, like, taffy or, like, gooey. But I remember the strawberries were my favorite. And then a close second was the Cream Savers. I did like the variety and the flavors. Yeah, I think they had, like, an orange one and they had a strawberry one, if I'm not mistaken. Yeah, there's something like red berry. And it was actually. It was delicious. I want to hear your Granny Edition.
B
My grand addition is the strawberry ones. Strawberry. Because I used to go. I remember in pre K, I went to Baptist Temple, and the principal would have candy, like, in the bottom drawer, and I would go in there, and I would grab these, and I would grab Tootsie Rolls. They were always in There together. So that's my association with these candies and I think stealing from your principal. I think they were there for us to take. I think because that's why they were low. That's why they were in a low. In a low cabinet or. That's what I told myself.
A
It's very interesting to me, Sid.
B
It's.
A
It's good. It's really good. That's awesome.
B
Thanks. Tv.
A
Okay, for you.
B
Yeah.
A
Ring pops or push pops.
B
Push pops.
A
Why is that?
B
I like seeing it get smaller. I like being able to push it up through there, and then I like to just gradually.
A
I like making it into a needle. Like, you can make it into, like.
B
A sword and stab somebody. Yes, yes, yes.
A
Yeah. And then you would put it back in your mouth, too, after you, like, actively tried to stab somebody.
B
God, I was a sick child. The ring pop I kind of got tired of because I kept hitting my lip on the part. I'm like, all right, I'm trying to get eat the candle, but I keep getting my bottom up.
A
Right. You can only do so much work.
B
On that ring pop.
A
Next one also was, like, very sticky. Like, the ring pop. It would, like, come off the sides. Like, I feel like the. Was a little bit cleaner.
B
Look a lot cleaner.
A
Okay. Gushers or fruit by the foot.
B
I'm going to go ahead and say fruit roll up that. So I just added one in there. That's the one that I would pick out of there because. Fruit roll up. Did we talk about this before? Yeah, Fruit roll up. I liked peeling it off of that paper. Okay, stay with me. All right. If this is nostalgic for.
A
Wait, you're talking about square one that was built like a square.
B
The square one, Fruit by the foot was in a roll. And you undo it along that hole, that whole paper, and there would be, like, there were, like, pictures on there or something.
A
Comics or something.
B
Yes, comics. But on the fruit roll up, you unravel that baby out of that, that. That plastic sheet. When you unravel it into that square, sometimes it would have such stuff etched in there. You could peel it off. You didn't have to eat it all at once. Like, I just respected the make of. Of the fruit.
A
They also had, like, tattoos that you could, like, put it on your tongue.
B
There we go.
A
And then you. Now we're talking on your tongue. Yeah. But also you could, like, throw it and it would, like, string out. And also that one was, like, cut in multiple ways. Like the. The tie dye one that was, like, green, yellow, and orange. Had the three slices.
B
Not a fan. Not a fan. I was like.
A
My favorite one was tie dye. Red and blue.
B
You. You know, that seems like you're tight.
A
Cut in the middle.
B
No, I like the one. The one color, one flavor, one. The flavors of fruit roll up were also better than fruit by the foot flavors to me. And I'm not. I'm not going to argue about that. The rare fruit roll up, the red fruit rollup is untouchable. I'm not.
A
That was the most basic one. They had too many of those in the past.
B
We can end the. We can end this relationship over it.
A
Over Fruit Roll Ups.
B
Yeah.
A
Fruit Roll Ups just sponsor us.
B
All right, Next. Next.
A
Okay. Sour Skittles or Sour Patch Kids?
B
Ooh, I think I'm going to also make an amendment. Sour punch straws.
A
Oh, okay. The long one right in the track.
B
Red, green, blue, blue. Wait, red, green, blue. Was that. I think that was it pink. I think there was a pink, too.
A
There was a pink.
B
Those were. Those were untouchable. Specifically the red.
A
It was always number one.
B
Red, blue for me. Red, blue, green and pink.
A
Do your order they. As an adult, I saw these actually. I might have taken a picture of them.
B
Yeah.
A
There's these Sour Plunge mystery straws.
B
Okay.
A
Which a. Oh, it sounds like. Oh, so fun. But, like, the mystery and is like, you don't know if you're eating, like, BlackBerry or ghost pepper one.
B
I wouldn't like that. No way.
A
I'd be pissed.
B
Also, did you used to drink the, like, drink juice out of the sour punch straws? Like, actually put it in liquid?
A
Yeah, for sure.
B
Okay. Yeah.
A
I would, like, sit in my water bottle and I would, like, try to fetch it out, but then it had, like, this weird texture if it sat in the water too long.
B
Yeah.
A
Ate it again. I was a sick child. But I'm learning a lot about myself during this episode.
B
Me too, girly.
A
Me too. Okay, this is a big one, Sid.
B
Yeah.
A
Candy necklace. Oh, just say candy jewelry because I don't want. You have to decide between the necklace, the bracelet, and now as an adult, they make, like, bras and panties, too. And candy or candy cigarettes.
B
I was not a fan of any of those. I didn't like the flavor of any of them. Yeah. So I'm gonna go ahead and say Smarties instead of those.
A
Smarties were good.
B
Yeah. What's your choice out of the. Out of the candy jewelry?
A
I don't know. I never.
B
Like, necklace. Your necklace.
A
No, I like the cigarettes because you could, like, you could blow It. And a little bit of smoke would come out, and you would just act like you were in the Mafia. Like, yeah, you took care of Alfonso, but. Yeah, but they also had the bubble gum cigarettes as well. That were pretty good.
B
Yeah, I just didn't like the flavor. It wasn't about the design. It was strictly flavored.
A
Okay. And I have one. One more for you.
B
Go ahead.
A
Would you prefer to do a. Okay, three options. Scary Halloween costume, cute Halloween costume, or sexy Halloween costume.
B
You said scary cute or sexy.
A
Yeah, it's like, scary, wholesome. We're gonna go scary, wholesome, sexy.
B
Yeah. So my order is just gonna be, like, least amount of work, and if we can go ahead and put up my previous costumes in the past, I don't like to put a lot into it. As you see, I dressed up like Martin dressing up like Nino Brown from New Jack City. So, like, I don't. I don't want to do much. You know what I'm saying? And I got the dog.
A
This ironically looks a lot like your LeBron get up in your decision video.
B
But I'm saying so. Probably. Probably scary, cute, sexy. But, like, first one is just, like, pragmatic.
A
Pragmatic.
B
Yeah. Practical is my first one, so.
A
Not me. I'm gonna have to go sexy first. I'm gonna have to be a little skimpy. A skimpy little nurse number or something like that. Next. Next year, y', all at our first annual unsupervised Halloween party. Just kidding. It's not going to be a thing. Unless you guys want it to be a thing and let us know where we're meeting up. We don't want to have to plan everything. We kind of. We're supposed to. It would never happen. You all have to technically make the plans as the babysitters, you know, have to. That's just my logic.
B
And fund it.
A
And fund it.
B
Yeah.
A
Your birthday party, the last one that you had where you.
B
We've.
A
Marty and I forced you to dress up in Harry Potter. And then your friends walked in like, why is Sydney in a cape? And we're like, oh, we forced her because she's immobile right now into this Harry Potter costume.
B
I was the most.
A
We also didn't let anyone know it was a themed party. No one knew it was a themed party. And Sid was the only one in Harry Potter get up. Which was great. You looked awesome. Like.
B
Yeah. Thank you. Thank you. Y' all killed it with.
A
We made this. Well, we didn't actually make it. We intended to make like that Front. That punch. The fruit punch with the sherbet.
B
Yeah.
A
And it like, looks like it's floating, you know, Sherbet.
B
We've still been eating it. But shout out to you, Marty and Marcella for putting that together. That was fire.
A
It was a good time. Good stuff.
B
Good stuff. Okay. All right. Tp, we're at. We're at our favorite segment.
A
It goes down in the dm. It go down. It go down in the dm. It go down. It go down.
B
Okay, very good.
A
All right, so what you got for us today, Sid?
B
All right, let me read it to you. So we got a message from Anonymous Jennifer.
A
Oh, Anonymous Jennifer.
B
What's up? She said, they said, basically I need to know. Basically I need to know. Do you two elder millennial lesbian role models have any dating.
A
What makes you think that?
B
Basically I need to know. Do you two elder millennial role models have any dating advice for this effed up era we live in? I've done the apps, I've gone to sapphic events in my city, have hella gay hobbies, and I've tried the whole self love shit. Not self love shit. This is also maybe a little bit deep voices, deep combos. This is also maybe a little bit deep voices, deep combos. But we'd love to hear your insight on gender represent, gender representation and dating women. I don't really fit into butch or femme and I'm looking for another two way player. Why is it so hard? Lol. By the way, I'm obsessed with the song from Tierra Whack. I need to be able to add it to playlist. Thanks for your awesome podcast. All right, so we're gonna start off.
A
Jennifer for writing in, right?
B
We're gonna start off with let's not call self. Let's call it self love because it doesn't sound like you're like doing it.
A
Right or taking his Read a little self love book. Like we're like giving terrible advice. No, I do have some good books though.
B
You do?
A
You are into that, but it doesn't seem like it based on the way you introduce self love to the. To the dm.
B
Right? Give her. Give her a pod. Give her a podcast to listen to because she's clearly not gonna do the work to read.
A
Hey, listen, unsupervised girl. It's really gonna help you out. Like, we're just promoting ourselves. Oh, okay. Sid, do you have any, like, advice that you want to say? Because I feel like you get pretty good advice just generally.
B
Yeah, I'm gonna say that on A serious note, like, the self love part is the most important. Like, I think so many people enter relationships. I'm talking to tp, but I'm talking to you. Anonymous Jennifer, so many people enter into relationships, like, hastily, without really fully knowing themselves or like what they want out of a partner. This is so funny for me to be giving this advice as Martin, once.
A
Again.
B
Acting like he's in New Jersey. 2 Mona Lisa, right. With my, my Rottweiler. So I'm, I'm like a firm believer that you need to be good one with being alone. Because then when you have somebody come into your life, it's an addition. And that's whether it's friends or a romantic partner, whatever. If people aren't adding something to your life, like, whether they're helping you emotionally or like in some other ways, like they shouldn't be taking from you. So if you're good with being alone, then when you enter into a relationship, you won't be as stressed about if they're gonna leave. You won't be trying to put on a performance because, you know, I enjoy myself and who I am. So I'm looking for somebody to add to that. If you're not doing that, I'm okay to end that relationship. So there's no need to be putting on a mask or wearing like having a front. Get to the point where you genuinely love yourself, whatever work that takes. And you love being by yourself. You can go to the movies by yourself, go eat by yourself. You don't always need people around. So many people. Try to stay busy, be alone and think about your life. Think about the choices you make. Think about the person you are, how you treat people, like what your dreams are. Are the people around you holding you back? Are they supporting you? You need to be able to assess all of that stuff to get to a point to then see, do I even want a relationship? I might be cool kicking it by myself, for real. Like, I have the most fun by myself. So when I can't. So that's how I know, like, I really enjoy being with Amadi because I have even more fun. Like, it's, it's an addition. Everything's in addition, right? But that's.
A
I love that. I love that, like you said, like, spend time with yourself as well, because it doesn't feel comfortable for a lot of people to go spend time with yourself. But it's also like a muscle that you haven't practiced with. Like, you have to build that. You have to build that muscle up. You have to build that tolerance of feeling uncomfortable and then finally get into a space where it feels comfortable and natural and normal. And then once you get there, you're gonna see, like, you're gonna look back in your rearview mirror being like, wow, like, look how much growth I have just in this one avenue. And you, like, being okay with yourself and being comfortable by yourself during doing certain things is going to help you out a lot. And also, there's a lot of, like, societal pressures. Like, everyone makes you feel like you're going to find your person in college and like, you're going to find who you are in college. That's not necessarily true. Like, it is true for a lot of people, but I'm one of those ones. I don't believe in a marriage. If, like, if two young people are getting married, I'm like, I don't know if you actually truly live. There's some young people where I'm like, I see them together. I'm like, I can't see you guys with other people. And I fully believe in that. And there's other people that I'm like, yeah, this isn't gonna work out. Just because you guys have been together since your junior year of high school and you're not graduating college together, I don't see it working out. You guys have had a lot of differences this far, and you really haven't even hit your stride in life yet. And social media puts these norms on people that's like, all these people want to post their couples and all these things, and then they're mad that you're in their business whenever you guys break up. And it's like, then don't put us in your business. But if you post it on social media and you're, like, asking for me to double tap so you can get one. Like, and like, and also that's multiplied by all of your followers, then you want me in your business, right? But you can't pick and choose when you want public business to be public business. Because, yeah, with one comes the other. So, like, my best advice is, I guess, to, like, be comfortable with being uncomfortable. Like, also take note on things that, like, make you happy. Take note on things that, like, are your hard nose. Because there's sometimes you can get in a situation where you're thinking that everything's right and there's certain red flags that pop up, but you, like, say, oh, no, but this person is just like, they're. They're good with their family, and you're like, you wave off something or like, this person is a great cook. And you're like, okay, I can overlook other things. Like some things, there's going to come a point in time where that's going to come to a head and that's going to be an actual issue. So being able to communicate and understand communication and feelings is like a big step. Emotional intelligence. And also, like, for me, something that is important to me is like a discussion. If there. If you have growth and if you have doubt, which again, this doesn't just relate to relationships, it just relates to life. Ask questions. If you don't know, that's okay. Ask, inform yourself. Because if you're not doing it, nobody else is going to do it for you. And you might have to learn the hard way in the wrong moment.
B
So like blindly trusting.
A
Exactly. So making sure that you're in the right space of your life too. Like, there is no rush. Some people, I see some of the happiest couples that find their partners in their 40s and 50s and they're like, I can't believe it took so long to find you, blah, blah, blah. And it's just like, just run your own race. You can't be compared to anybody else. You can't be compared to anybody else's lifestyle and the way that they want to date. Date for you. Because at the end of their timeline. Post what exactly? At the end, you can post whatever picture because we all know that social media is just a false reality is what you want people to think your reality actually is. And so if you are wanting a relationship for the pictures, don't get in that relationship at all. Take not a good sign a picture. It's not worth it, bro.
B
On that note. Anonymous. Jennifer, I hope this helps. If it doesn't, that's literally on you. We gave so much good advice in that segment. I don't know what to tell you, seriously. So. All right, y', all, that's a wrap on the episode. Tp. That was fun.

Podcast: Dear Media
This Halloween special is classic "Unsupervised": unpredictable, irreverent, and full of best-friend chaos. Syd and TP surprise each other with costumes, dive into Halloween nostalgia, swap wild childhood stories, debate the best (and worst) Halloween candies, riff on music, bicker over true crime vs. scary movies, and close out with heartfelt (but hilarious) life and dating advice to a listener. Through it all, their chemistry and unscripted tangents keep things zany and fun—like a late-night group chat you never want to leave.

“Call, sit your five dollar ass down before I make change. You know, do you know what it is?” – Syd (02:53)
Instant Confusion: TP doesn’t recognize Syd’s reference; Syd threatens to quit due to this “cultural difference.”

Memorable Exchange:
This episode brings all the chaos, fun, and warmth of Syd & TP’s friendship to a Halloween backdrop. From costume antics to nostalgia, honest advice, biting commentary on pop culture, and surprisingly profound dating insights, it’s a rollicking hangout for anyone missing the wild, supportive energy of a best friend sleepover.
