Hello! Hey! Welcome! Welcome to the show. It's
spooky season! Hell yeah it is! It's 30 Dirty
and Dying, the spooky episodes. We do all spooky
season shit for the October episodes. Every year
we've done it. Yeah. We're doing it again. And
again. And again. And the next day. And the next
day. And the next day. This is our favorite time
of year, y 'all. I'm Clarissa. I'm Courtney.
We're spooky as fuck. I'm so excited. I can't
wait. I just I live for this. Like I have opposite
seasonal depression. Same. This is when I'm the
happiest. I thrive. I thrive. Yes, I love it.
I can't I can't wait to decorate. I'm probably
gonna decorate like next week. We already did.
I gotta dig myself out of the garage. Our 12
foot skeleton is out. I love him. He's my fave.
Right now, I showed you last year because last
year what we did was we got a small skeleton
and we attached it to his hands like he's ripping
the smallest skeleton apart. Yes, I remember.
Yeah, we did that again this year. It was good.
It was solid. I'm thinking about getting an outdoor
decoration because we can now. Yeah, look at
you. You need to decorate outside. I know, but
I haven't found anything I like yet. Speaks to
me and speaks to my spook. Oh, so do you want
scary or cute? Probably scary but it doesn't
have to be like Insane it can be insane in the
membrane. Yeah, it doesn't have to do that. Okay,
they can be in the middle we went to Michaels
the other day to look for new decorations because
I am probably gonna have to add a few things
just because we have more space Michaels doesn't
have great decorations. It wasn't great. It was
like I never go to Michaels anymore Like they're
haunted houses that we collect. Yeah For the
past two years, we have not and not and we have
not and we have not been able to get a single
one because they come out in June and everyone
buys them. That's stupid. And we're like, um,
where is everything? No, I picked up this little
sparkly ghost and I carried it around for a while.
And I thought about, but a lot of it was stuff
that like, I know it's technically spooky. And
for regular people, it's stuff they would only
put out on Halloween. But I was like, I would
have this up all year round. It's not overtly
Halloween. It's just a little creepy. Yeah. And
I was like this. Like, there was Dracula shit
and Edgar Allan Poe shit. I was like, this could
just be on my bookshelf forever. Well, we have
our haunted houses out all year long. Which is
why I love you. Yeah. Welcome to our haunted
house. We're kicking off spooky season with creeps,
nostalgia, ghouls, ghosts, goblins even, vampires,
other stuff. I'm blanking. I'm sorry. Murder.
The point is we're getting really spooky. Blood.
We're getting really spooky. And we decided it
would be fun because we've been on kind of a
nostalgic TV kick this season. We've done our
brackets and those are pretty fresh for us. We
like a bracket. We love a bracket. And we recently
did, we opened the season with the live action
and we recently did the cartoon one. So these
things are on our minds. And one of the things
that makes those shows special for us are the
Halloween episodes. I love a Halloween special.
Yes. Yep. Nostalgic Halloween specials. So today
we're just gonna talk about some of our favorites.
We recently relived them on our own time. And
we're gonna talk about some of our favorites.
She says we as if I did anything. You told me
you were looking at them or reminding yourself
of them. Yeah, I was just Googling. That's what
I mean. Oh, okay. I don't mean like it has to
be like you watched them all. I just happened
to watch them way earlier than I thought it was
gonna be up today. So I was like, well, might
as well just refresh my memory. But yeah, so
we refreshed our memory a little bit on our favorite
nostalgic 90s, 2000s -ish. Some are a little
bit older. Yeah, so we're just gonna shoot the
shit a little bit about our favorite nostalgic
things in Halloween specials. Yeah. So we'll
get into that in a second, but you know, we gotta
get nostalgic about back in time first. Back
in time, alright! Yeah! Back in time, alright!
2001. Mm -hmm. A year that will live in infamy.
We're gonna try to focus on better things. We're
not we don't need to talk about her. No. So let's
start with them. Let's start with some TV shows
that came out. Okay, I feel like I really enjoy
doing this because I feel like this was these
early 2000s. A lot of great TV shows came out
that I remember very vividly watching and when
they came out. So super nostalgic for me. Reba,
a single mom. I watched some of that. I did too.
I feel like it was on At least the reruns were
on Lifetime. Yeah, I think so. And I remember
watching it, like, on a video of my Meemaw's
house. Was it on Lifetime, or was it on, um,
ABC Family? I think it was on both. But I think
the reruns, you know, they were on a couple different
channels, but they were definitely on Lifetime
at some point. Maybe. A single mom who works
two jobs. Loves her kids and never stops. Um,
Degrassi, The Next Generation. I watched a little
bit of that. Samurai Jack. I fucked with Samurai
Jack. I did too. I really liked that show. Yeah.
I kind of forgot about it, though. The Fairly
Oddparents. No shit. Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
A lot of great shows came out. I love Fairly
Oddparents. Yeah, we just talked about them.
Robot Chicken. Oh, I liked Robot Chicken. I did,
too. Lizzie McGuire. No way. Yeah. Why did I
think that was late 90s? I don't know, but I
remember why I picked 2001 for this episode now,
because it was mostly random, but... The Halloween
episode of Lizzie McGuire was 2001. Yep. Oh shit.
Okay. It was in that first season, I think. So
that was a banger. We'll definitely talk about
that one. Fear factor. I would tell myself I
could do that. Yeah, I could stick my whole head
in a bucket of worms and yeah, all everything
like eating. I could do that. No, I would I would
eat the stuff I would The only thing that I'm
like I probably can't do that is any of the physical
like Activity stuff telling me you would have
like stuck your whole face and spiders and shit.
No did that. I know I remember a lot Yeah, no
spiders, but any other creepy crawlies I would
be down for they did I remember one really? I
think it was maggots. I don't care. Uh -uh. No
I would not care. As long as it's not a spider,
I don't care. No. Like you can put me in a coffin
full of snakes. Shut the fuck up. Slither a little
snake. I don't like that. And I would just lay
probably fall asleep. I don't. Well, yeah, you
would. You'd definitely fall asleep probably
for longer than you're anticipating. Good. Yeah,
you would be good at Fear Factor now because
you don't want to be alive. They're like, no,
you're not supposed to jump. Courtney, you're
supposed to stay on the ledge. The Proud Family.
You know I loved it. I know you loved it. Oswald.
Hey. Hey. Fruit Basket. Did you ever watch this?
Fruit Basket? Fruits. No. There's an S. Okay,
so it's a manga. Am I saying that? Manga. Manga.
We're at the graphic novels. And it's about,
I was very obsessed, a few years later. But with
the books, okay, and then I watched some of the
show but I guess the show came out in 2001 Was
it about fruit? No, it was okay. So it's so good.
It's this it's this like family, I guess and
They all not all of them. But yeah all of them.
They all can turn into They all have an individual
thing where they turn into parts of the zodiac
Like one of them turns into like a dog and why
would love that I did and then in Japanese like
zodiacs or whatever they have the cat um and
it's like the it's not in the regular rotation
it's like the special one and he was i have big
boy crush on him his name was keo i wore this
little bracelet that had um like black and white
beads on it and i bought one at claire's that
looked just fucking like it so i could be just
like him but anyways this girl um she i don't
know if she lives with them or what happens but
she ends up and she's regular but she learns
about how they all change. So it's like a love
triangle with her, Kiyo, and then there's another
guy named Yuki. Was this animated? It was anime.
It was great. Great stuff. I still have some
of the Fruits Basketbooks in the garage if you
want to check them out. Maybe. What else was
going on, Courtney? Tom Cruise and Cole Kidman
announced that they are no longer together. Oh
yeah. I always even forget that they were even
married. I just think of him with Katie Holmes
from him jumping up and down and shit. Does he
date now? I don't know what he does. Um, Dale
Earnhardt is killed in a car crash on NASCAR.
Oh, that's sad. Yeah, during the Daytona 500
race. Yeah, that sucks. A total solar eclipse
happened in 2001. Total eclipse of my heart.
Oh shit. In Baltimore, Maryland, a 60 car train
derailed in a tunnel causing a fire that lasts
for days and virtually shuts down downtown Baltimore.
My god. That was in July on July 18th of 2001.
Wow. Yeah, this was a rough year, man Yeah, there's
there's a lot of stuff bad that happened to us.
Yeah, it's a ruffin. Oh Geez, okay. Oh The first
Harry Potter movie Harry Potter the Philosopher's
Stone is released earning the US 975 .8 million
I get it, man. You know, I had a little Harry
Potter action figure. I mean, it was a doll,
but I think they called it an action figure because
he was a boy. And he was wearing the red sweater
and the corduroy pants that he wears to go into
the little basement there to do the whole chest
thing and the whole movie, you know, the end
of the movie. And he was wearing and those corduroy
pants. I hated. That's what started it all. You
know, I remember I begged my mom to let me watch
it. But she wouldn't at first because she was
like, you know, she's religious. She was like
it's witchcraft. No And my aunt's one on my dad's
side really came in in the clutch for me She
was like because she'd let her kid watch it and
they had the DVD at this point So this might
have been like 2002 but I had been asking to
watch it since it came out and she was like we
were at their house visiting and my mom said
I couldn't watch it and and stuff and she was
like okay well then you know what you need to
do when you go home you need to throw away all
of those vhs from the disney movies like cinderella
and snow white and sleeping beauty because all
of those have magic in them right so that's also
witchcraft and guess who fucking watched harry
potter and the sorcerer stone that weekend this
bitch right here nice jurassic park 3 i don't
know i don't understand it moulin rouge i love
moulin rouge spirited away I love Spirited Away.
Monsters Inc. Wow, good year for movies. Bad
year for the world. I remember going to the movies
to watch Monsters Inc. I think I did too. I remember
renting Spirited Away from the Blockbuster. I
remember renting Teeth from Blockbuster. We usually
didn't go to Blockbuster. There was one in our
town here. Um, I miss it, but we would go to
Blockbuster sometimes and I remember specifically
getting spirited away from Blockbuster because
I feel like I was with my dad. Um, and I feel
like we had to go over towards like Walmart or
something because the other one was closer to
us. So usually we'd go to that one and it was
like, you had the, the other video store, our
video store and then right next to it was a pizza
place and they were connected. It's right over
here in this plaza. I don't know what they've
done to it. I haven't been there in years. But
there was like a hallway. So like, you just could
go from the pizza place straight to the video
store. Yeah, and then so we would on like Friday
nights, we'd go we'd place an order for pizza.
And then we'd walk over to the video store, pick
out a few tapes, and then go back over and wait
for the pizza to be ready. And then we'd go home
and have like movie night. We did that kind of
stuff a lot. It was fun. I saw this thing and
it was like, best thing to do is drive through
a town and someone goes, that used to be a blockbuster.
Cause everybody, I feel like we've all got that.
Well, me, I'm like, that used to be Fazzoles.
Oh yeah. The Sprint Store. Yep. Well, is this
Sprint or is it T -Mobile? It's T -Mobile. It
was Sprint at one point. Yes. I know that. But
that was T -Mobile. The Fazzoles. Fazzoles! Every
time, when it was my birthday, I'd be like, they'd
be like, what do you want for your birthday?
I want to go to Fazzoles. I tweeted to Fazzoles,
be like, can you come back? Alright, well, you
wanna go out with some songs? Yeah. Alright.
Drops of Jupiter. Drops of Jupiter in my head.
Tell me. No fucking shit. It's been a while by
Stained. Oh, Stained. That's amazing. It has
been a while. It has been a while. Oh my gosh.
It's been at least four years. Ride With Me by
Nelly. If you wanna go and take a ride with me,
so why do I do this? Uh, Love Don't Cost a Thing
by Jennifer Lopez. Love don't cost a thing. Apparently
love doesn't cost a thing over there. Because
he's not getting divorced, right? Yeah. Called
it! Need to go back because there was an episode
we did a couple of years ago where they got back
together And I was like I put a timeline on it.

don't remember specifically Okay, I know there
are a bunch of monsters and they were all friendly
and they like befriended this little girl who
was like wanting to trick -or -treat Yeah, and
I just remember loving it and I watched it every
single year that it would come out on TV Yeah,
but I don't remember specifically Let me that
came out in 2003. Okay, let me tell you Yeah,
really I remember now that I see it. I do remember
it, but I have no Deets It's it was animated
by an animation company called Mainframe Entertainment,
and they're the same animation company who did
reboot Okay, yeah on tsunami. It's all coming
together Um, let's see on Halloween night. Oh
shit. Tell me a spooky story bitch Hannah Marie
What a stupid dress as a fairy princess is about
to go trick -or -treating when with her spoiled
cousin Jimmy Jimmy wearing a devil hoodie. Do
you remember that? Yes. Yes. And his friend Katie
dressed as a black cat Daryl in a piece in a
candy piece costume and Bert pretending to be
a baseball player. Jimmy annoyed with having
to go with Hannah. Conceives a prank to scare
her home while near an abandoned house in the
graveyard Jimmy concocts a myth about residents
at the house the spook house Not feeding candy
to monsters surrounding its exterior and being
eaten as a result. Oh Ever since candy has to
be ever since candy has to be put in the basement
every year to prevent the monsters from killing
other children in the world Jimmy tells Hannah
to go in the house and leave some candy. A frightened
Hannah walks in the front door blah blah blah
blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah Guess
I'll go next. Yes, you have anything else on
you go. All right, so one that is one of my favorites
that I made a point to relive Was the even Stevens?
Yeah, I don't even remember it. Okay, so he's
a penguin jockey Lewis he is it's like an inflatable
penguin. I remember that Yes, I remember loving
that costume so much and wanting it like I had
my mom look for a Halloween a costume that was
a penguin jockey for a very long time after this
never found it um but i didn't fully remember
what it was about so i did refresh on this one
basically it's halloween and Lewis and his friends
tawny and 20 they're gonna do a prank where they
put eyeballs in the school lunch like fake eyeballs
I think I remember this so meanwhile while this
is happening Ren who is like anti Halloween yeah
anti fun anti everything she's helping the principal
and one of the other teachers do eye exams and
when you finish your eye exam you get a free
carton of milk so But people come back from the
eye exams, they're wearing these big thick eye
surgery glasses, and they're like, no fun. They're
like, sucking on this milk, and they're like,
milk is an excellent source of overall skeletal
health. We can't do that. That would go on our
permanent record. That'll follow us forever.
They're just super lame. I'm normal. Kind of.
The skeletal health thing though, it's like overall
skeletal. Turns out... He takes the glasses off
one of them. Their eyes aren't there anymore.
Just sockets. The principal and them are hypnotizing
them to make them lame. So then Lewis tries to
get out of there, they get his parents, they
get everybody, and him and Ren are the only ones
left. But then it turns out, spoiler alerts,
Ren is in charge of the whole thing. Yeah, she
sucks the fun out of everything. Yeah, and then
they turn all of the people who have been hypnotized,
there's this machine, and they turn them all
into clones of Ren. And then they try to do it
with Lewis, but he's just too silly. He goes,
it's Wren's body in his face. And he's just like,
looking at his hands and stuff. And then it ends.
And it turns out that Lewis is just telling the
story to Beans to try and - Beans! Yeah. He's
like, hey, you want to know what happened last
Halloween? That's what happened. And then Wren
brings them up cookies and milk and Beans like
- runs out of the house scared to death because
of the milk thing. It's hilarious. It holds up.
It actually holds up. Yeah, I'm gonna need to
rewatch that. Yeah, we can. Yeah. But it's so
good. First, I've talked about it before. I love
even Stevens. The Penguin Jockey is primo. And
it's just a funny one. And it's got a really
good like scary plotline that you don't always
get from shows like that. Yeah. And I love the
twisty twist. I love a twist. Twist me out. Twist
me up daddy. So that was one of mine. I'll also
mention a another even Stevens. That is a Honorable
mention. It's not technically a Halloween episode,
but I think it should be they think that beans
is an alien I think I remember. Yeah, and they
basically reenact ET. Um Over three species at
all. They do the bike and then they fall It's
really funny, but there's a lot of creepy spooky
things that happen while they're figuring out
whether or not he's an alien So yeah, that one
I would count as a Halloween episode too. So
even statements for me. Top of the list. Nice.
I put on my list. Sweet Life of Zack and Cody.
The ghost in 613? 613. Yeah. Just because that's
seance scene. Yeah, that's good. Only because
of that. Yeah. Because here's the thing. You
rewatch some so like you're familiar. Yeah, I'm
just going based on vibes here, and I don't remember
the majority of it I just remember scenes like
yeah a couple well That's kind of how I was with
some of them But then there were ones that I
know I really liked mm -hmm But I couldn't fully
remember why right you know Which is why I wanted
to watch the even Stevens ones cuz I remember
fucking loving it But then once I started watching
it, it all came back. I was like, rending on
it. They have no eyes. I'm here. So and the same
thing happened. I rewatched the Zack and Cody
one because I didn't remember it like at all.
But once they got in there for that seance scene,
I definitely did. Yeah. That's that's a good
one. And was that? Yeah, that was a Halloween
episode. I don't. They didn't say it was Halloween,
but when I looked up like, because I started
looking up like such and such Halloween episode.
Yeah, that's what popped up. Yeah. Yes. And I
don't so I don't think they made another like
Halloween special. I don't think so. They did
one on the Suite Life on Deck, too, I think.
Oh, I never watched that. I watched some of the
episodes. I wasn't as into it as I was the regular
Suite Life of Zack and Cody. Yeah, I don't think
I ever watched it. But I liked the ghost one.
What'd you like about it other than the seance
scene? Just to say, yeah, because I like, what's
his name? Belchapka? Yes. Oh, God. Esteban. Esteban.
It's Esteban. Esteban Julio Ricardo Montoya de
la Rosa Ramirez. Yeah, no, I don't remember that
shit at all. I knew Montoya was in there because
of my father. Yeah, Princess Bride, I think.
Yeah. Yeah, but no, he was probably one of my
favorite characters on that show. I really liked,
I think in art, The Handyman. Oh, yeah. Yeah.
Um, I forgot how much I liked him. But then in
that when I watched that episode, I was like,
he's really funny. Like, and he did all the tech
stuff to make the seance happen, because it's
all a trick. Yeah. Um, and that was really funny.
And he comes out with that glow in the dark skeleton.
He's like, hey, don't lose your head. What a
knee slapper. You know? What a knee slapper.
Yeah, I like that one a lot too. Um, I mean,
we'd be remiss if we didn't talk about, um, Night
of the Day of the Dead. Because we had mentioned
it before. Yeah, it's it's I think it's one of
the best Halloween specials maybe ever. Because
it's educational. Yes, you learn about Day of
the Day of the Dead. Yeah. Because Miranda is
is Mexican, her family's Mexican. So but it's
just it's just spooky. I can just I can still
see with all the detail in the world Lizzie dressed
in that clown costume. And her eyes like blacked
out with the paint and doing the zombie walk.
And then those those the skeletons and then you
know good old Kate getting got we love that but
like when I was a kid like she was the popular
beautiful and like Lizzie McGuire was like the
awkward plane but that's not the case at all
they're all they're all very yeah they're all
they well I mean they're kids call them attractive
no but I mean they're all you know they're nobody's
ugly no no they just had to play into those like
right roles that everyone kind of feels like
they have in like middle and high school. And
then what's his face? The hot guy. Ethan Kraft.
And then Gordo was - Gordo's cute. I'm all about
Gordo compared to Ethan. I had a crush on Gordo.
I did not have a crush on Ethan Kraft. I had
a crush on Ethan. But I think growing up I realized
that Gordo was the one. Yeah, Gordo was the one.
And then I do also remember about that episode,
Matt's costume. And he's just like an inside
out body. Yeah. He's like, I'm a person, but
I'm inside. And the mask with the eyes and they
cemented in my brain. It's definitely one of
the best ones. And it's actually a little spooky.
So the one that freaked me out. Okay. I love
this. Was that so Raven? The cows. I don't know.
I don't know. Like, I don't think it was. Don't
I don't even fucking know I just cuz I don't
remember that episode a whole lot. Yeah, it's
all I remember All I remember is cow They turn
into cows and that I'm just like that's weird
and it just freaked me out It was spooky. It
was spooky to me when I was a kid, I guess I
don't know. I mean it was cute I wouldn't the
only thing that I thought was funny that I that
really still sticks out today after I watched
it was the whole thing this is started because
they want to um go to this party and they're
talking about it and while they're talking about
it uh they're eating hamburgers but ravens is
a regular hamburger and chelsea is a vegetarian
so she accidentally gets a real burger she takes
a bite not realizing it's fake and then she makes
this poem later because she's so upset about
it she's wearing this button that has a no through
the cow and that's why they turn into cows because
it drops into their magic potion as it does.
Oh yeah. You know, but she writes this poem and
it's like, cow, cow, where art thou? I remember
that! As soon as she said it, I was like, oh
my god, I remember this exactly now. Oh my god.
Cow, oh cow. You just unlocked something in my
brain. That's what it did for me too, because
I was like, I don't remember this episode at
all. Oh my god, that poem. Oh cow, where art
thou? The only thing I remember. You're in my
stomach now. For that alone, I'm right there
with you. Yeah. Hey. Thanks for listening to
30 Dirty and Dying, the show for millennials
by millennials. We get real about chronic illness,
burnout, nostalgia, and why we aren't exactly
thriving. If that sounds like you, join us every
Thursday for new episodes. Now back to the show.
So obviously, and then there was Sean is the
first one that comes to mind. But that's technically
not a Halloween episode. But it's spooky. It's
spooky. And it's probably my favorite episode
ever. It definitely is my favorite episode ever.
It's the horror film stuff. We've talked about
it a lot. It's one of my favorites. They killed
Kenny! You bastards. But the Halloween episode
was The Witches of Pembroke. Well, they also
had it was an earlier one when he was a when
Corey was a kid and he turned into a werewolf.
Puberty. I remember that one. Yeah. Yeah. Um,
I think my favorite of those two though, which
is, yeah, yeah. Um, I think that's just because
of Sabrina Teenage Wish came on. Yeah, but she
was only on there for a second at the end. Yeah,
she was a girlfriend. Yeah, but she was only
on there. No, she was only on there for a second
at the end. She was like a cameo. I thought she
was in more of the episode because he was not
on a date with her. That wasn't her. That was
Candice Cameron from Full House DJ. It's been
a while since I've watched the episode then.
Yeah, she's the ma - Hang on, I need to check
what her name was and show you the picture because
then you're gonna remember. Well, moral of the
story, they were witches. Yeah, and they need
to sacrifice hunters to Satan. Mm -hmm. And that's
what they're doing. Millie is her name, but it's
short for something - Maleficent. Right? See?
Oh, shit. Okay. Sabrina's just on there at the
end. Like Eric is on a date. And then it's Melissa
Joan Hart. Okay. And it's just like a funny like
one line thing from her. Okay. I digress though.
It's a great episode. It's very funny. Also,
there's this line where I didn't even rewatch
this as part of it. I just remember it because
it's so where they're throwing that party where
they're going to sacrifice Sean and Jack. And
Sean says to one of the witches, he's like, Hey,
Rosemary, how's the baby? So fucking good. Because
when I walked out, I didn't know what that -
I probably didn't either. But yeah, it's really
good. Also, it's got a line from Boy Meets World
that I quote all the time. Eric comes in to the
apartment, thinks no one's there and says, goodbye
pants. He takes his pants off and just wears
his boxers. I do that all the time. I walk into
my house, I go, okay, goodbye pants. Oh my god.
Boy Meets World. So good. He always has the best
like one -liners. Absolutely. He really does.
And that was one that I say, I say that all the
time. And I honestly though, just like not about
the spooky specials, but just Boy Meets World.
Him and Jack together, perfect. A really great
- It's a great tag team. Yeah, chemistry that
is really good. But there's another part of it
where he's like, Jack's like, what's wrong with
her? And he goes, um, she's Satan. Fuck it. It's
such a good episode. Go watch it. Go watch both
of them But if we're talking about Halloween
specific like you're saying which is a Pembroke.
Okay, so this is not Early 90 or like 90s early
thousands. Okay I put Psych okay, you're gonna
have to educate me here because I never really
watched like unless I watched it with you sometimes
Okay, so please hold so I Here's the thing, I
don't know what was specifically Halloween or
what was just meant to be spooky, because there
was one, the scary Sherry, where when they were
kids, he thought he saw essentially a girl commit
suicide and jump out of a window. Yikes. So he
was like, as an adult, afraid of this ghost.
That is like coming back to haunt. Okay this
house that she jumped out of but What he didn't
see because he closed his eyes when he didn't
see was she was grabbed and pulled back in So
like she lived it was fine. Yeah, but like as
a kid like he had no idea So like it was like
the spooky ghost haunted house kind of love that
episode I think actual Halloween episode was
Shawn and Gus of the dead. I think that was one
but I don't that's a funny title So these are
the titles of like their I'll put in quotes Halloween
episode. Yes spooky spooky So scary Sherry love
it Sean and Gus of the dead Tuesday the 17th
That's my favorite Tuesday the 17th is probably
my favorite in plain fright Here's Lassie and
then a nightmare on State Street. These are hilarious.
We need yes, like I'll watch psych with you watch
psych with me. It's like it's so good Tuesday
the 17th is probably my favorite because it's
like Friday 13th. Yeah, tell me about that one.
So Sean and Gus as kids, okay, went to like a
camp for like a summer camp and because how how
psych starts is like them as kids and then that
episode as them as adults kind of brings it back
to like it's like a storytelling of like things
that they learned gotcha essentially gotcha so
it starts off with them as a kid summer camp
whatever and then as their adults one of their
like old friends from this summer camp came back
to like See them and he's like, hey, like I read
I guess something happened in the summer camp
like someone had like died or something. Okay,
you know the usual thing. Yeah, it happened.
He was like, hey, like I'm opening up the summer
camp again. I want you to like come and like
check it out. Yeah, like it's we haven't seen
each other in a while. I just want you to come
in. Okay. And so they go and Sean's always like
this. This gives me the creeps. I just like I
didn't like it here. But What actually is happening
is the summer camp that he's reopening is meant
to be like a horror camp. Okay. So like it's
meant and so he invited Shawn and Gus there as
like a trial of them like scaring people. Okay.
And they didn't know that. So like they were
all in like all the actors that were there were
in on this joke of like scaring them. It's like
a parody thing of like, you know, yeah, but there
actually is someone there that wants to kill
them. Oh my god. So like, one's a parody and
one's actually happening at the same time because
someone does end up dead. And so I have to figure
it out. What's real? What's not right? I love
that. No, it's it's probably one of my favorite.
Well, there's like a series of episodes in psych.
That's my favorite series of episodes. But that's
probably one of my like individual episodes that
I like. That's a really that sounds really good.
Yeah, I think I would enjoy that. Yeah, we have
to watch all of those like spooky psych ones.
Okay, we'll do it. We'll do it. Well, in the
same vein, if we're going over like sitcoms and
stuff. I love friends. You know, and, uh, there
are several Halloween episodes for friends. Yep.
Uh, we were on a break and, um, there's one though
that sticks out early, like the most and Monica
and Chandler are hosting a Halloween party and,
um, Chandler's dressed up like a giant bunny.
He looks like the Energizer bunny. Um, and he
really hates his costume cause obviously, and
he's being very sarcastic and weird about it.
Um, Joey dresses up as Chandler. Love that. He's
just wearing his sweater vest. He's like, could
I be any more Chandler? And Ross dresses up as
Sputnik. Of course. He's wearing a giant potato
suit and like an antenna. Because he's a fucking
potato. Okay. I hate Ross. I know you do. Can
you just calm down for a second though? He's
wearing like antennas on his head like Spud,
Nick, Sputnik, the satellite. He's a dork. It's
whatever. But he comes to the Halloween party
with Mona. when he's dating Mona. And he gets
into this argument with Chandler. Which one's
Mona? She's tall. She's blonde. He's dating her
after Rachel is pregnant. Because her and Rachel
weren't together. You know, so they still are
just doing their own thing. And he's I think
he meets her at the wedding Chandler and Monica's
wedding. So she's not around very long. But yeah,
none of them are. No, except for Rachel. She's
her and Joey. I hated that! Let's not get into
this. Anyways, him and Chandler get into some
kind of argument and they see who's the strongest.
So they arm wrestle. Ross and Chandler and Ross
is like, please let me win cuz like Mona's here
and he's like they arm wrestle for like cuz he's
a little bit ours though Cuz they're both weak
as fuck and it's like them and at first everybody's
all like yeah, you know And then everybody just
goes back to partying cuz it takes so long like
they're there all night nice also it's an episode
where Sean Penn is in it because he's playing
the fiance of Phoebe's twin sister Ursula and
Turns out Ursula has conned the shit out of him
and him and Phoebe make out. Mm -hmm. Mm -hmm.
He stresses the solar system. I just really like
this funny episode. It's one of my favorites.
It's one of my favorite episodes, period, but
it's one of my favorite Halloween episodes that
they do. And I think the Spudnik joke is kind
of funny. Sorry you hate Ross so much and you
can't see how hilarious that is. I can't. He
just makes me so angry. Your hatred is clouding
your judgment. Mm -hmm. I think it's fair judgment,
honestly. He doesn't deserve happiness. Okay.
There's this sound fight going around that was
on Teen Mom back in the day. You know what I'm
talking about? No. Okay. Well, it's the one Kaylyn
and Joe anyways, but he's like, it's a nice day
today. She's like, yeah, it's nice. You don't
deserve to be out in the sun. You should be in
a cave. What the fuck? People are using it in
like TikToks and shit now. It's pretty funny.
So yeah, I really like that one. Also, there's
this part where Phoebe is dressed as Supergirl
and Monica is Catwoman. And she's like, Catwoman,
we meet again. Supergirl. And then she's like,
no, it's Phoebe. All right, let me do one more
each. Yeah. Okay. Okay. Parks and Rec. Okay.
I recently watched it. I watched most - The Halloween
episode? You're gonna have to jog my memory though,
because I watched - I one -indund it. You know
what I mean? I haven't re -watched it, so it's
not all up here. It's where Andy and April have
their Halloween party. Yes. Okay, that was funny.
And only because of their back and forth. Yeah.
That is my favorite. They have really good banter.
Yeah, they do. That's back when, you know, he
was fun. Yeah. We are throwing a Halloween party
at our house. It's gonna be the greatest thing
ever. Someone will die of fun and of murder.
There's going to be beer, pumpkins, bloody goblins.
fake ones. It's gonna be awesome. We have decorations,
dead people that we just murdered. Not murdered,
but pictures of dead people from TV or movies,
mutilated bodies, but fake ones, candy, dancing,
tequila, all kinds of things. That one really
was funny. It's so good. I saw that clip like
the other day. It's probably like my favorite.
I mean, I love Parks and Rec, but that's probably
one of my like favorite little ss. snippets.
Well, I think one of mine and it's getting a
clip I saw the other day. It's not Halloween.
Well, I gotta I don't know if it is or not. I
don't know what episode it's from. But Ron is
buying a bunch of meat. And he's got April with
him. And then she brings up the fake crow. She's
like, Can I get this? And he's like, How much
is it? He's like, two bucks. He's like, Good
deal. And then she puts it down in the cashiers
like, Is that all? And he's like, No, just the
birds and the beef. Fucking love that. It's like
when me and Justin go out. Just like, let's get
this. Um, but there is another Parks and Rec
Halloween episode that's actually really funny
because, um, Leslie is on like a rampage because
this one kid that she like hates. I remember
this, the kid who vandalizes everything. Yes.
Yes. She's like, I'm going to watch him. And
like, she's like, I'm going to, I'm going to
watch him do this. And like he, he played her.
Yeah. And it was so fucking funny. Yeah. It just
like the whole episode is for literally going
crazy. Yeah, she's just so neurotic. So obsessed
with it. And he got like he paid someone to be
his mom. Yeah, and like this whole reason they
call his mom. Yeah, like had they had like detained
him. Yes. Yes. It was so good. That's such a
good. It's just all about him vandalizing this
one fucking statue and yeah. It's hilarious.
That's a good one. That's a good thing. All right,
my last one. I actually wasn't even going to
pick this. But when we were talking, I jogged
my memory. The Fresh Prince of Bel -Air. And
the episode is called, hang on, Hex and the Single
Guy. They go to this seance. Um, because remember
when Hillary's boyfriend gets killed in a bungee
jumping accident? No, I don't remember a whole
lot. Okay, well, his name's Trevor. He gets killed
in a bungee jumping accident. Trevor would bungee
jump. Yeah, he's like a fuck. Anyways, um, they
go to the seance because she wants to try and
contact him from the grave. And it's just like
this and Will the whole time is like, this is
fucking fake and is like screwing around with
the guy. And he ends up the guy curses him and
a bunch of spooky shit happens because he's cursed,
whatever. That's not why it's one of my favorites.
It's one of my favorites because Carlton, because
it is Halloween. And he's dressed up as Macaulay
Culkin. In Home Alone? Yeah. But he's... I'm
just gonna show you a picture. Please. Because
when I saw this, like when I looked up something
else Halloween, I was like, Oh my god, I forgot
all of that. They do the scene with him like
screaming and they zoom in on him, but he's...
He's got his hair dyed and it's like yellow.
Yeah, yellow. It's like when I tried to be Luna
Lovegood when I went to that Harry Potter release
and I dyed my hair green on accident. Yeah. But
yeah, he's like, I'm like, what are you dressed
up as? And he's like, my idol, Macaulay Culkin.
For that alone, I'm putting it on as my final
pick because it's hilarious. And you know, it's
a great show. It's a really funny show. So all
the other stuff was good. So those are some of
our favorite spooky Halloween episodes. Yeah,
