WEBVTT 00:00:07.829 --> 00:00:11.689 Welcome to Fit to Be Real. And a little extra. 00:00:12.509 --> 00:00:14.369 Thank God that was her and not me this week. 00:00:14.429 --> 00:00:17.350 It's usually me messing up when I open my mouth. 00:00:18.510 --> 00:00:21.109 I don't even know if they know that that just 00:00:21.109 --> 00:00:23.609 happened. Oh. Pretty sure that was just on our 00:00:23.609 --> 00:00:25.989 end. I thought I'd click the live button, but 00:00:25.989 --> 00:00:29.670 I didn't. So when I... It doesn't matter. It 00:00:29.670 --> 00:00:32.850 really doesn't matter. Things happened and now 00:00:32.850 --> 00:00:37.640 we're here. Never mind. Now we're here. I'm Victoria. 00:00:37.960 --> 00:00:42.640 Hey guys, I'm Carly. And we're both tired. What's 00:00:42.640 --> 00:00:45.960 different than any other week? Because I think 00:00:45.960 --> 00:00:50.179 sometimes I'm more aware of it. You're more aware 00:00:50.179 --> 00:00:51.920 that you're tired, but right now you're just 00:00:51.920 --> 00:00:55.259 figuring it out? No, the opposite. Like last 00:00:55.259 --> 00:00:57.240 week I'm like, yeah, we're always tired. And 00:00:57.240 --> 00:00:59.579 this week I'm like, oh, I'm making mistakes. 00:00:59.600 --> 00:01:05.079 Yeah. I'm tired. Yeah. I'm not. You look it. 00:01:06.240 --> 00:01:08.579 No, wait, my kids had off from school yesterday 00:01:08.579 --> 00:01:13.640 and I slept till 630 and I was like, this is 00:01:13.640 --> 00:01:20.700 amazing. It was wonderful. I felt so good. Great. 00:01:20.879 --> 00:01:23.540 Everyone should sleep till 630. You're good. 00:01:23.579 --> 00:01:27.299 That does sound amazing. Like we get up so early, 00:01:27.359 --> 00:01:30.930 which is fine. I mean, It's fine, but sleeping 00:01:30.930 --> 00:01:35.209 in is fine Everything's fine sleeping until 630. 00:01:35.209 --> 00:01:37.189 I was like, this is glorious. I feel like it's 00:01:37.189 --> 00:01:40.049 noon number one My body went off before my alarm. 00:01:40.310 --> 00:01:43.689 Nope. I didn't go off. What is that mean? My 00:01:43.689 --> 00:01:46.829 body woke up for the average person was I mean, 00:01:46.909 --> 00:01:50.409 I didn't sleep till 630 today My body woke up 00:01:50.409 --> 00:01:53.890 before my alarm and I was like, wow The sun's 00:01:53.890 --> 00:01:59.170 coming up. I feel with it I feel good. I feel. 00:01:59.329 --> 00:02:02.409 What's that? I don't know. Keep going. I feel. 00:02:02.629 --> 00:02:05.930 Oh, it's I look good. Never mind. I'm tired. 00:02:06.170 --> 00:02:07.930 I definitely don't think you look good at six 00:02:07.930 --> 00:02:10.710 in the morning. I've seen a little bit of that 00:02:10.710 --> 00:02:14.990 down the shore. It's not great. Yeah. OK. Anyway, 00:02:15.289 --> 00:02:16.930 the next disclaimer I want to put out is that 00:02:16.930 --> 00:02:19.050 they're cutting trees down across from my house 00:02:19.050 --> 00:02:23.150 and my windows are open. So should you hear the 00:02:23.150 --> 00:02:26.509 tractors beeping? Actually, they're flipping 00:02:26.509 --> 00:02:29.750 a house. No, they're cutting down your trees. 00:02:30.689 --> 00:02:33.810 They just cut down an enormous tree as I rolled 00:02:33.810 --> 00:02:35.770 up. In the wooded area? Yeah, like where the 00:02:35.770 --> 00:02:38.430 goats were. Oh yeah, we had goats for a while. 00:02:39.810 --> 00:02:44.090 To eat all the... brush. So but at that time 00:02:44.090 --> 00:02:45.990 when we had the goats they cut down a lot of 00:02:45.990 --> 00:02:47.810 trees. Yeah they're cutting like huge trees. 00:02:48.550 --> 00:02:51.610 So I think they're in fear of like falling and 00:02:51.610 --> 00:02:53.650 I don't know. But they're also flipping a house 00:02:53.650 --> 00:02:56.229 across the street for me and it's been rough. 00:02:57.009 --> 00:02:58.969 Yeah. They're like might as well have knocked 00:02:58.969 --> 00:03:00.389 it down. They probably should have just knocked 00:03:00.389 --> 00:03:04.469 it down. Sometimes I feel like that's I don't 00:03:04.469 --> 00:03:05.810 know. I don't know anything about flipping houses. 00:03:05.909 --> 00:03:09.659 I have no comment or opinion. But I do have a 00:03:09.659 --> 00:03:12.699 life update. Would you like to hear it? Would 00:03:12.699 --> 00:03:15.360 you like to hear my life update, everyone? I 00:03:15.360 --> 00:03:20.319 know you've all been wondering. Yes, Carly. Dean 00:03:20.319 --> 00:03:23.180 is now going to school without crying. Wait, 00:03:23.259 --> 00:03:25.780 no, this is a big deal. It took a month and a 00:03:25.780 --> 00:03:29.759 week, but it happened a month, a full month and 00:03:29.759 --> 00:03:32.120 a week. Don't say five weeks. Definitely don't 00:03:32.120 --> 00:03:35.800 say five weeks. But he's going to school with 00:03:35.800 --> 00:03:39.900 everybody else. Not crying. I do have to give 00:03:39.900 --> 00:03:42.699 him a toy every single time. However, I will 00:03:42.699 --> 00:03:46.659 spend however much money I need to get him there 00:03:46.659 --> 00:03:50.460 without crying. This is a perfect segue into 00:03:50.460 --> 00:03:52.360 what we're talking about today about spending 00:03:52.360 --> 00:03:56.340 in the season. Hold on. Like you promise him 00:03:56.340 --> 00:03:58.460 if you go without crying at the end of the day 00:03:58.460 --> 00:04:00.020 you'll get a toy or he gets one right now He 00:04:00.020 --> 00:04:02.740 has to he doesn't know the concept of time and 00:04:02.740 --> 00:04:05.120 the end of the day could mean six months from 00:04:05.120 --> 00:04:08.199 now It's so long So if I don't give it to him 00:04:08.199 --> 00:04:10.780 as he's walking down the steps going into school, 00:04:10.780 --> 00:04:14.500 it doesn't happen He did he is grabbing my hand 00:04:14.500 --> 00:04:18.540 and making me like squeeze hold him Until he 00:04:18.540 --> 00:04:22.009 gets to the steps, but he is not crying And he's 00:04:22.009 --> 00:04:24.230 not going into the office anymore where he gets 00:04:24.230 --> 00:04:26.050 picked up by his teacher. He's like doing what 00:04:26.050 --> 00:04:29.250 all the other kids do. And you never found out 00:04:29.250 --> 00:04:32.209 why. I mean, he never was able to say why. He 00:04:32.209 --> 00:04:34.870 went to the psychologist, like the guidance counselor, 00:04:34.910 --> 00:04:38.589 and she said, he told me he misses you. And I 00:04:38.589 --> 00:04:42.910 was like, I know. I'm very missable. But that's 00:04:42.910 --> 00:04:46.019 the joke. Like, that's why we know that there's 00:04:46.019 --> 00:04:48.100 gotta be something deeper. I don't know. And 00:04:48.100 --> 00:04:51.360 it can't just be that. Honestly, I think it's 00:04:51.360 --> 00:04:54.399 what everybody was just telling me. It's transition. 00:04:54.639 --> 00:04:56.500 It's a hard transition to go from. Your other 00:04:56.500 --> 00:04:58.920 two did not do that. But I was not with them 00:04:58.920 --> 00:05:03.100 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and then gone 00:05:03.100 --> 00:05:05.420 for seven and a half hours a day immediately. 00:05:05.639 --> 00:05:07.660 And that's what I was with Dean. You don't think? 00:05:07.899 --> 00:05:11.180 No. No. And it was just me. Andrew was in... 00:05:11.149 --> 00:05:14.310 Scotland and Vegas all summer. So it was us all 00:05:14.310 --> 00:05:17.790 day every day. He sleeps with me like it's Amazing 00:05:17.790 --> 00:05:21.769 how things are backfiring Amazing how no one 00:05:21.769 --> 00:05:24.350 has warned you interesting, but I think it's 00:05:24.350 --> 00:05:26.870 just I think it's as simple as that It was a 00:05:26.870 --> 00:05:30.069 transition, but now I spent lots of money at 00:05:30.069 --> 00:05:35.029 the very expensive feed below Which my god go 00:05:35.029 --> 00:05:39.000 to the dollar store. Well He wants a specific 00:05:39.000 --> 00:05:41.060 clink bot. No, no, no, you don't get you get 00:05:41.060 --> 00:05:44.279 what you get and you don't get upset. I will 00:05:44.279 --> 00:05:47.980 pay whatever it costs. Greedy or grateful. To 00:05:47.980 --> 00:05:50.079 get him to school without crying. So I bought 00:05:50.079 --> 00:05:52.959 him bulk and then he picks out the color and 00:05:52.959 --> 00:05:55.560 then he goes into school. And yes, I'm going 00:05:55.560 --> 00:05:58.139 to lunch duty today, but I'm not going tomorrow. 00:05:59.019 --> 00:06:02.079 So there's that. That's my life update. It's 00:06:02.079 --> 00:06:04.860 going to change within an hour. Folks don't believe 00:06:04.860 --> 00:06:07.500 a goddamn word she says. And on that note, we're 00:06:07.500 --> 00:06:09.079 both going to take a sip of coffee. I'm drinking 00:06:09.079 --> 00:06:13.639 Selena's mug today because she is a goddess. 00:06:16.379 --> 00:06:23.319 Selena's good. Oh, good story. OK. Como la flor. 00:06:25.800 --> 00:06:29.060 I think Mexicans everywhere are very upset with 00:06:29.060 --> 00:06:37.480 my Spanish, with how that just went. Okay, I'm 00:06:37.480 --> 00:06:40.920 gonna try this again. Okay. Hey guys, what we're 00:06:40.920 --> 00:06:46.459 talking about today is Halloween and how much 00:06:46.459 --> 00:06:49.720 gosh darn money we should probably stop spending 00:06:49.720 --> 00:06:53.759 on Halloween. But did you read what I said? Yeah, 00:06:53.759 --> 00:06:58.790 I did. $13 .1 billion is expected. Billion. Just 00:06:58.790 --> 00:07:01.629 for Halloween. That's not Christmas. That's not 00:07:01.629 --> 00:07:05.310 Christmas. Halloween. I have a question. I didn't 00:07:05.310 --> 00:07:08.670 see if that was just in the US or if that was 00:07:08.670 --> 00:07:12.689 worldwide. Because I know other countries celebrate 00:07:12.689 --> 00:07:16.050 Halloween. Not like us, though, I feel like. 00:07:16.209 --> 00:07:19.649 I mean, it's really, it's more of a Day of the 00:07:19.649 --> 00:07:22.089 Dead, which is not actually on the 31st of Halloween. 00:07:22.170 --> 00:07:26.199 Right. Is that November 1st? No, that's All Saints 00:07:26.199 --> 00:07:28.259 Day. That's Catholic school. Yeah, that's buried. 00:07:28.579 --> 00:07:30.259 I think that's different. We have off, but whatever. 00:07:32.000 --> 00:07:34.839 Americans is what it says. Americans are expected 00:07:34.839 --> 00:07:39.860 to shell out $13 .1 billion on candy, costumes, 00:07:40.660 --> 00:07:44.100 decorations, and other Halloween -related goods, 00:07:44.180 --> 00:07:47.439 which I'm not sure. We covered it all, so I'm 00:07:47.439 --> 00:07:50.439 not sure what that is. No, can't you say it again? 00:07:50.439 --> 00:07:53.939 Candy? candy, costumes, decorations. Yeah, like 00:07:53.939 --> 00:07:56.699 all the... What else is there? You know, gift 00:07:56.699 --> 00:08:00.540 bags, goodie bags, like all the junk, the spider 00:08:00.540 --> 00:08:04.360 rings, the little toys and trinkets, the paper 00:08:04.360 --> 00:08:07.720 plates, the... Yeah, true. All that stuff. I 00:08:07.720 --> 00:08:11.279 mean, I spent at least one billion on my Halloween 00:08:11.279 --> 00:08:15.000 party. I agree with you, but wait, what? Already? 00:08:15.500 --> 00:08:20.490 Oh my God, yeah. On what? Tell us. on spider 00:08:20.490 --> 00:08:24.550 rings, on bubbles, on little gift bags. But I 00:08:24.550 --> 00:08:26.509 told you I was buying all that and it was in 00:08:26.509 --> 00:08:29.009 my cart and I had already purchased it. Yeah, 00:08:29.029 --> 00:08:31.730 yeah, okay. So I had some of that from last year. 00:08:31.810 --> 00:08:37.029 So I bought that and I'm gonna kill you. Decorations. 00:08:37.490 --> 00:08:42.309 Like every year I buy at least two more decorations. 00:08:42.509 --> 00:08:45.210 Why? Because I love - You're part of the problem. 00:08:45.909 --> 00:08:51.490 Well, I love my front yard. like looking like 00:08:51.490 --> 00:08:53.549 Halloween, I love it. So like the kids look forward 00:08:53.549 --> 00:08:56.490 to buying like one more inflatable or one more. 00:08:56.490 --> 00:08:58.309 We bought a giant pumpkin this year. I can't 00:08:58.309 --> 00:08:59.710 wait to make you feel bad about all of that. 00:08:59.730 --> 00:09:02.409 All right. Hold on. I also bought. OK, we'll 00:09:02.409 --> 00:09:05.389 talk about it later. Go ahead. Wait, what else 00:09:05.389 --> 00:09:07.289 did you buy? Well, we're going to talk about 00:09:07.289 --> 00:09:10.370 costumes. So when we get to costumes, we'll talk 00:09:10.370 --> 00:09:13.190 about it. Yeah. OK, so we have a list. We're 00:09:13.190 --> 00:09:15.529 not going to be too long winded, but also that's 00:09:15.529 --> 00:09:20.440 always a lie. So. Be a full bar household. And 00:09:20.440 --> 00:09:22.179 this was shocking to me. No, I love this idea. 00:09:22.299 --> 00:09:25.460 But didn't it surprise you? Well, yeah. It says 00:09:25.460 --> 00:09:28.860 to buy and give out the full bars of candy, not 00:09:28.860 --> 00:09:33.220 the like mini bulk bags because of the amount 00:09:33.220 --> 00:09:36.019 of plastic and wrapping for the individual candies. 00:09:36.519 --> 00:09:39.759 And so you're saving the planet a little bit 00:09:39.759 --> 00:09:44.500 more on plastic wrap and trash or garbage waste. 00:09:45.480 --> 00:09:48.379 you're gonna save more money by buying the full 00:09:48.379 --> 00:09:51.940 bar than you would by buying the multiple like 00:09:51.940 --> 00:09:55.639 bulk variety packs and you will be the best house 00:09:55.639 --> 00:09:58.460 on the block not a part of the article okay but 00:09:58.460 --> 00:10:03.600 it is a benefit like Alyssa what's up Alyssa 00:10:03.600 --> 00:10:06.700 she's a full bar house she's a full bar girl 00:10:06.700 --> 00:10:11.500 she's a full bar girl well back it up she's a 00:10:11.500 --> 00:10:15.419 full bar girl and my kids know this and we will 00:10:15.419 --> 00:10:19.620 hit her up on the way on like it first and then 00:10:19.620 --> 00:10:22.220 we will hit her up on the way back. Rude. That's 00:10:22.220 --> 00:10:24.460 rude. So she get whatever she has left because 00:10:24.460 --> 00:10:25.980 we know she doesn't want to keep it in the house 00:10:25.980 --> 00:10:28.740 inappropriate. My kids know. We go to Alyssa's 00:10:28.740 --> 00:10:32.200 house. I'm trying to think. I don't think we 00:10:32.200 --> 00:10:33.960 had a house on our block growing up that had 00:10:33.960 --> 00:10:37.139 ours full block full candy. The one next to us. 00:10:37.139 --> 00:10:39.259 Remember, we would always be like, oh, the next 00:10:39.259 --> 00:10:42.679 block has the foot like you knew who gave out 00:10:42.679 --> 00:10:45.299 full bars and who gave out like toothbrushes 00:10:45.299 --> 00:10:49.059 and toothpaste. Because that happened. What? 00:10:49.279 --> 00:10:51.940 Yeah, there was a house that gave out like toothbrushes 00:10:51.940 --> 00:10:55.460 and like many toothpastes. Your kids or us? Us. 00:10:56.000 --> 00:11:00.100 You don't have a good memory. Trauma will do 00:11:00.100 --> 00:11:07.379 that. I'm sitting next to it. Okay, so the second... 00:11:07.230 --> 00:11:09.610 thing is basically try to pick things with better 00:11:09.610 --> 00:11:11.070 packaging if you're not going to do the full 00:11:11.070 --> 00:11:13.789 candy bar but that would mean like boxes of raisins 00:11:13.789 --> 00:11:16.750 like the cardboard boxes or nerds it says nerds 00:11:16.750 --> 00:11:19.070 are in cardboard not plastic so that's like a 00:11:19.070 --> 00:11:21.350 better option if you're going to give not like 00:11:21.350 --> 00:11:25.370 cuter just more eco -friendly yeah we're not 00:11:25.370 --> 00:11:27.070 we don't really who cares about being cute if 00:11:27.070 --> 00:11:30.029 we're all dead just want to put that out there 00:11:30.029 --> 00:11:32.350 um but this one is something i thought about 00:11:32.350 --> 00:11:34.830 because i almost bought myself from the dollar 00:11:34.830 --> 00:11:39.169 store uh Pumpkin carving plastic knife set which 00:11:39.169 --> 00:11:42.240 shocked me that it was at the dollar store But 00:11:42.240 --> 00:11:44.960 don't do that. We all have knives in our houses. 00:11:45.200 --> 00:11:47.080 Just use the spoons and knives we already have 00:11:47.080 --> 00:11:50.320 that are metal and steel and not plastic. I think 00:11:50.320 --> 00:11:52.240 everybody gets caught up in the packaging and 00:11:52.240 --> 00:11:54.200 being like, oh, this will make everything easier. 00:11:54.539 --> 00:11:56.480 I do it with the egg dying for Easter every year 00:11:56.480 --> 00:11:58.360 too. And I'm like, I have all this. I have a 00:11:58.360 --> 00:12:03.259 spoon. Why do I need a wired metal holder for 00:12:03.259 --> 00:12:06.100 the egg? To dip. Yeah, you have all the stuff 00:12:06.100 --> 00:12:08.600 in your house. Don't waste your money on it. 00:12:08.659 --> 00:12:11.620 Yeah, I get it though. No, I get it too. The 00:12:11.620 --> 00:12:14.480 packaging and the whole experience of like walking 00:12:14.480 --> 00:12:16.620 into the store and everything looks Halloween 00:12:16.620 --> 00:12:20.940 -y and you want to buy it, but you're wasting 00:12:20.940 --> 00:12:25.100 your money. You have all of it. Yeah. I support 00:12:25.100 --> 00:12:30.320 it. And then also, wait to buy your pumpkins 00:12:30.320 --> 00:12:32.159 because they're going to go bad if it's too... 00:12:32.159 --> 00:12:34.519 I saw pumpkins out in September and I really 00:12:34.519 --> 00:12:36.000 wanted to, but then I was like, they're going 00:12:36.000 --> 00:12:38.460 to rot by the time... We have to get through 00:12:38.460 --> 00:12:41.659 summer number two first. we're still in it yeah 00:12:41.659 --> 00:12:44.940 and then also the squirrels and the wildlife 00:12:44.940 --> 00:12:47.620 are hungry so they're gonna eat through it if 00:12:47.620 --> 00:12:49.080 you carve a pumpkin and put it out right now 00:12:49.080 --> 00:12:54.080 anyway so wait to buy your pumpkins number one 00:12:54.080 --> 00:12:57.740 maybe you'll not buy as many remember when you 00:12:57.740 --> 00:13:00.279 can go to Linvilla and do a what you what is 00:13:00.279 --> 00:13:02.620 it what you can carry pay what you can carry 00:13:03.519 --> 00:13:06.960 No, usually it's like $9 million a pound for 00:13:06.960 --> 00:13:09.340 a pumpkin. So mom only used to let us get like 00:13:09.340 --> 00:13:11.639 the tiniest pumpkin they sold at Linvilla. Right, 00:13:11.840 --> 00:13:17.019 pay what you can carry. The price is the price, 00:13:17.019 --> 00:13:19.840 but if you can carry this many, maybe you're 00:13:19.840 --> 00:13:22.340 right. Maybe it's different. But maybe you won't 00:13:22.340 --> 00:13:24.139 do that if you're like, oh, I already bought 00:13:24.139 --> 00:13:26.480 a bunch of stuff. Maybe I'll save my money. I 00:13:26.480 --> 00:13:31.080 don't know. But then use your pumpkin. Use the 00:13:31.080 --> 00:13:34.539 innards. You know, pumpkin seeds, they're one 00:13:34.539 --> 00:13:37.019 of my favorites. Outerts. Use the outerts. Where's 00:13:37.019 --> 00:13:39.600 the dong -gong? Oh, yeah, I have it. I was hiding 00:13:39.600 --> 00:13:44.899 it. It's here. Hold on, it has packaging. But 00:13:44.899 --> 00:13:47.299 yeah, all that like goop that we tend to be like, 00:13:47.460 --> 00:13:51.720 ew, gross. If you Vitamix it or NutriBullet, 00:13:51.720 --> 00:13:56.000 whatever blender you have, make like a pumpkin 00:13:56.000 --> 00:13:59.000 base soup or broth or whatever. It's all edible. 00:13:59.179 --> 00:14:00.480 It just is something you don't want to touch 00:14:00.480 --> 00:14:02.000 with your hands. You just have to look it up. 00:14:01.980 --> 00:14:04.100 like Google it, and there are a million things 00:14:04.100 --> 00:14:07.759 you can do with them. I mean, basic, we love 00:14:07.759 --> 00:14:09.919 doing the pumpkin seeds and salting them. That's 00:14:09.919 --> 00:14:11.179 the best. The kids love that. And you know what? 00:14:11.259 --> 00:14:14.779 We did not carve pumpkins last year. And I thought 00:14:14.779 --> 00:14:17.860 my kids would just forget. And it's the first 00:14:17.860 --> 00:14:19.919 thing. Can we please carve pumpkins? We didn't 00:14:19.919 --> 00:14:22.580 do it last year. Yeah, we have to do our competition. 00:14:22.700 --> 00:14:24.559 I know. And they asked me to do that again. This 00:14:24.559 --> 00:14:26.610 weekend. Yeah, they said, can we do it? Guys, 00:14:26.769 --> 00:14:29.190 just hold on. Let's work out our schedule. We 00:14:29.190 --> 00:14:31.950 could do it Saturday or Sunday because there's 00:14:31.950 --> 00:14:36.690 no Eagles game. Okay. And... Hold please. We 00:14:36.690 --> 00:14:38.269 can go to L 'Invilla and we can do that. We can 00:14:38.269 --> 00:14:39.029 make our whole thing. We need to make teams. 00:14:39.250 --> 00:14:42.970 You're all invited. Fine. Anyway, teams. They're 00:14:42.970 --> 00:14:45.190 all going to want to be on Pedro's team. It's 00:14:45.190 --> 00:14:47.690 so annoying. I know. And I'll have prizes. It's 00:14:47.690 --> 00:14:50.850 fine. Carly usually gets whatever kid is last. 00:14:51.649 --> 00:14:53.549 And then we try to make them feel good that they 00:14:53.549 --> 00:14:55.990 have Carly. Nobody ever wants to be on my team. 00:14:56.230 --> 00:14:58.409 It's usually Dean. But you know what, my Aunt 00:14:58.409 --> 00:15:02.129 Vicky, our Aunt Vicky, gave me, for my birthday 00:15:02.129 --> 00:15:08.409 one year, a pumpkin carving set. And it's battery 00:15:08.409 --> 00:15:11.789 powered. And it's like a little saw to carve 00:15:11.789 --> 00:15:14.190 pumpkins. And at the time, I was like, thanks, 00:15:14.389 --> 00:15:16.769 Vic. Wait, I love that you just said the Delco 00:15:16.769 --> 00:15:20.960 version of saw. Saw. She said, Azael, for those 00:15:20.960 --> 00:15:23.940 of you who weren't really listening. Drew despises 00:15:23.940 --> 00:15:26.759 that. I do, too. The kids say it. That's wild. 00:15:26.840 --> 00:15:29.879 Mom, I saw it. I think I used to say that. I 00:15:29.879 --> 00:15:32.799 saw it, and he's like, no. He doesn't get angry 00:15:32.799 --> 00:15:37.120 about much. Saul, he gets very upset with. It's 00:15:37.120 --> 00:15:39.299 a different word. It's a completely different 00:15:39.299 --> 00:15:42.500 word. Better call Saul. Better call Saul. But 00:15:42.500 --> 00:15:44.460 yeah, so at the time, I was like, oh, thanks, 00:15:44.580 --> 00:15:48.779 Vic. This is a great gift. We had already carved 00:15:48.779 --> 00:15:51.019 pumpkin, so I didn't use it that year. I was 00:15:51.019 --> 00:15:53.620 so happy the next year when I got a motorized 00:15:53.620 --> 00:15:57.600 saw and like a scooper and I had it in the package. 00:15:57.700 --> 00:16:00.720 It was such a good gift. Is it plastic that we 00:16:00.720 --> 00:16:02.379 shouldn't be buying? No, no, no. It's metal. 00:16:02.519 --> 00:16:05.110 It's like legit. It's something you keep for 00:16:05.110 --> 00:16:06.909 years and years and years. It was like a legit 00:16:06.909 --> 00:16:09.210 pumpkin carving set. So I would say if you want 00:16:09.210 --> 00:16:11.409 to save money, invest in that one time. Better 00:16:11.409 --> 00:16:14.009 call Vicki. Better call Vicki. Ask her where 00:16:14.009 --> 00:16:17.370 she got it, because it was very useful. And whoever 00:16:17.370 --> 00:16:20.789 is on my team, whichever child ends up with me, 00:16:21.370 --> 00:16:23.269 we'll be balling with that. It's Dean. Like, 00:16:23.269 --> 00:16:26.909 we know. It's Dean. I'll get Melody. Lewis will 00:16:26.909 --> 00:16:29.590 get Pedro. Yeah. Uh -huh. and Andrew's on his 00:16:29.590 --> 00:16:31.750 own actually doing the lawn yeah Andrew's gonna 00:16:31.750 --> 00:16:33.909 be cleaning something or whatever doing the pumpkin 00:16:33.909 --> 00:16:36.029 seeds no Dean might pick Andrew and I might be 00:16:36.029 --> 00:16:38.009 ousted which is fine I'll just sit and drink 00:16:38.009 --> 00:16:42.769 red wine moving on uh this was something I didn't 00:16:42.769 --> 00:16:45.610 know but it's really good and this really doesn't 00:16:45.610 --> 00:16:47.830 have anything to do with saving money but line 00:16:47.830 --> 00:16:49.529 the inside of the pumpkin with coconut oil did 00:16:49.529 --> 00:16:53.460 you read that no It saves the longevity of your 00:16:53.460 --> 00:16:55.519 carved pumpkin when you put it outside. Do you 00:16:55.519 --> 00:16:58.340 think it's more squirrel friendly? Do the squirrels 00:16:58.340 --> 00:17:00.679 like to eat that? I don't know. It's just prevent 00:17:00.679 --> 00:17:03.360 your just carved pumpkin from rotting by rubbing 00:17:03.360 --> 00:17:06.299 the carved edges, so whatever you sawed it with, 00:17:06.619 --> 00:17:09.859 down with coconut oil. Sweet. All right. So that'll 00:17:09.859 --> 00:17:12.559 keep your pumpkin from looking like a melted 00:17:12.559 --> 00:17:14.779 pumpkin. Yeah. I thought that was cool. Well, 00:17:14.819 --> 00:17:17.960 it's so hot around here right now. It's a pain 00:17:17.960 --> 00:17:22.339 in the neck. global warming, but the pumpkins 00:17:22.339 --> 00:17:24.200 really don't last as long after you carve them. 00:17:24.500 --> 00:17:26.519 So I wonder if that helps. I don't think I would, 00:17:26.720 --> 00:17:28.579 too, if someone was taking chunks out of me. 00:17:29.160 --> 00:17:33.400 You know? This isn't normal. I say it all the 00:17:33.400 --> 00:17:35.900 time. Oh, why are you buying costumes? Thrift. 00:17:36.099 --> 00:17:37.859 Go to the thrift store. Make your costume. That's 00:17:37.859 --> 00:17:40.279 what we did. Let's chat about this. OK. You're 00:17:40.279 --> 00:17:44.539 lazy. What? And buy costumes. No, we haven't 00:17:44.539 --> 00:17:48.460 done that in three years. We may. We. First of 00:17:48.460 --> 00:17:52.289 all, spent an exorbitant amount of money at the 00:17:52.289 --> 00:17:55.089 thrift store last year on costumes. Well, that's 00:17:55.089 --> 00:17:58.470 true. Melody was the invisible man. She can't 00:17:58.470 --> 00:18:02.069 beat that. No. And so we're doing it again this 00:18:02.069 --> 00:18:05.589 year. And I will say. The invisible man? No. 00:18:05.970 --> 00:18:08.869 But no. They're making their costumes again this 00:18:08.869 --> 00:18:13.250 year. Making their costumes is costing us more 00:18:13.250 --> 00:18:16.970 than purchasing them. But it depends on how, 00:18:16.970 --> 00:18:19.069 like what? Depends on how you're making them, 00:18:19.069 --> 00:18:20.589 right? Like, Melody's being a black cat, and 00:18:20.589 --> 00:18:22.690 she has spent two days making this mask. But 00:18:22.690 --> 00:18:25.470 she wanted jewels, and she wanted felt for the 00:18:25.470 --> 00:18:28.269 thing. Like, she's doing it legit. And Louis 00:18:28.269 --> 00:18:32.150 is being a Jawa from Star Wars, getting the beady 00:18:32.150 --> 00:18:36.230 eyes. Like, they like to be precise and, like, 00:18:36.390 --> 00:18:40.250 very factual. OK, do they have the money to purchase 00:18:40.250 --> 00:18:43.829 the preciseness and the factualness? So really, 00:18:44.230 --> 00:18:47.349 mommy and daddy could say no. Well, we had to 00:18:47.349 --> 00:18:51.130 like burlap his shoes. And so now we've with 00:18:51.130 --> 00:18:52.970 hot glue. So we've ruined a pair of shoes. So 00:18:52.970 --> 00:18:56.089 I just lost a pair of nice brown shoes in the 00:18:56.089 --> 00:19:01.670 process. But I will say it is so much more fun. 00:19:01.910 --> 00:19:04.829 It's in control here. Oh, I've never claimed 00:19:04.829 --> 00:19:12.890 to be in control. Dean bought his costume. I'd 00:19:12.890 --> 00:19:15.349 wear a turtleneck under a princess dress. We 00:19:15.349 --> 00:19:18.089 did. All right, I want to hear it. Struggles. 00:19:18.250 --> 00:19:20.650 I had to wear a turtleneck under my beauty queen 00:19:20.650 --> 00:19:23.970 prom dress. You did. And it was horrible. Wait, 00:19:24.250 --> 00:19:27.230 that's right. You wore the prom dress with a 00:19:27.230 --> 00:19:29.609 white turtleneck. Yeah. And I wore one under 00:19:29.609 --> 00:19:32.490 my Chiquita Banana costume. Oh my god. Because 00:19:32.490 --> 00:19:38.059 we had to. So here's the difference. I'm... encouraging 00:19:38.059 --> 00:19:39.960 my kids to make their costume because we had 00:19:39.960 --> 00:19:42.000 to make our costumes growing up, like we always 00:19:42.000 --> 00:19:44.859 had to. However, we had to make costumes with 00:19:44.859 --> 00:19:47.619 what we owned in the house already. That's what 00:19:47.619 --> 00:19:50.500 I mean. They're making costumes and going out 00:19:50.500 --> 00:19:52.740 and buying every piece of the costume that they're 00:19:52.740 --> 00:19:54.599 making. So there's the difference. They're putting 00:19:54.599 --> 00:19:56.220 it together. I messed that up a little bit. Yeah. 00:19:56.559 --> 00:20:01.500 We had to be creative and also like the Teemu 00:20:01.500 --> 00:20:06.450 version. Oh, definitely the Teemu version. and 00:20:06.450 --> 00:20:09.190 it was whatever you wore in the dance recital 00:20:09.190 --> 00:20:11.230 the year before, how can you make that into a 00:20:11.230 --> 00:20:14.190 costume for the next year? Like I was Tina Turner 00:20:14.190 --> 00:20:19.769 one year. I was Tina Turner. She was. Which is 00:20:19.769 --> 00:20:21.970 inappropriate. Like I wouldn't have been able 00:20:21.970 --> 00:20:24.430 to be Tina Turner in this day and age. Well, 00:20:24.730 --> 00:20:26.930 hold on. You didn't do blackface or anything 00:20:26.930 --> 00:20:29.849 like that. You just wore a fringe costume and 00:20:29.849 --> 00:20:32.589 you had a rocker wig. And I held a microphone. 00:20:33.539 --> 00:20:36.059 That's appropriate. That's appropriate for any 00:20:36.059 --> 00:20:39.420 decade. You saying you couldn't dress up as Beyonce 00:20:39.420 --> 00:20:41.740 if you didn't want to meet Beyonce? No, that's 00:20:41.740 --> 00:20:43.940 true. You can do that. I had great legs in second 00:20:43.940 --> 00:20:51.559 grade too. Cross in the line. Wait, wait. So 00:20:51.559 --> 00:20:54.680 yes, we're moving on. Thrift your costumes. and 00:20:54.680 --> 00:20:56.799 hope for the best, and also save a lot of money 00:20:56.799 --> 00:20:58.519 unless you're gonna do it like Carly, who's actually 00:20:58.519 --> 00:21:00.660 making it worse. Guys, we're spending so much 00:21:00.660 --> 00:21:03.519 money, and it's taking so much time, but they're 00:21:03.519 --> 00:21:05.700 gonna be very proud of themselves. But then wait. 00:21:06.380 --> 00:21:09.599 This is an option. I'm skipping a few. Costume 00:21:09.599 --> 00:21:12.359 swap. Oh, I love this. I think this is a great 00:21:12.359 --> 00:21:15.759 idea. Yeah. I think you have to... You have to 00:21:15.759 --> 00:21:18.099 do it well in advance, though. Like, you have 00:21:18.099 --> 00:21:21.940 to do a Halloween costume swap in June. Or July. 00:21:21.960 --> 00:21:24.250 Yeah. When you have to, like... prep for it. 00:21:24.410 --> 00:21:26.390 Yeah. I think it's a great idea though. It's 00:21:26.390 --> 00:21:29.450 just like a prom dress swap or, you know, to 00:21:29.450 --> 00:21:32.609 save money on that or anything else. It's, it's 00:21:32.609 --> 00:21:34.950 a really good idea. And I wish we had thought 00:21:34.950 --> 00:21:38.650 of that. My yoga friends did a, I forget what 00:21:38.650 --> 00:21:41.009 it, they called it something. And of course I 00:21:41.009 --> 00:21:42.589 can't remember. It was only this past year. So 00:21:42.589 --> 00:21:44.990 my brain really is bad, but I brought clothes 00:21:44.990 --> 00:21:48.089 I wanted to get rid of or don't eat. And so you 00:21:48.089 --> 00:21:51.140 bring clothes that you would like to get rid 00:21:51.140 --> 00:21:54.000 of and then she put everything on hangers and 00:21:54.000 --> 00:21:55.839 she you know you could walk around her house 00:21:55.839 --> 00:21:58.940 and go shopping with everyone's stuff for free 00:21:58.940 --> 00:22:00.960 you just took whatever you wanted yeah yeah it 00:22:00.960 --> 00:22:03.720 was a swap it was a clothing swap but like for 00:22:03.720 --> 00:22:05.279 normal clothes not costumes with your friends 00:22:05.279 --> 00:22:09.059 and whatever didn't get picked through and like 00:22:09.059 --> 00:22:12.960 rehoused she donated that so like it never goes 00:22:12.960 --> 00:22:16.460 back into your house like you do get that purging 00:22:16.460 --> 00:22:18.559 and like decluttering aspect of it, too. But 00:22:18.559 --> 00:22:20.759 it was so fun. We had wine, we had food. It's 00:22:20.759 --> 00:22:23.099 a real question. Did anybody take anything that 00:22:23.099 --> 00:22:31.720 you brought? Yes. Some. I also didn't bring much 00:22:31.720 --> 00:22:33.579 from what I remember. Did it have a lot of moons 00:22:33.579 --> 00:22:37.660 on it or like? Did I not say my yoga friends? 00:22:37.839 --> 00:22:40.339 Oh, yeah, I guess that is the place you would 00:22:40.339 --> 00:22:42.380 bring your clothes. You're not invited to any. 00:22:42.579 --> 00:22:46.150 Who are your friends, Carly? You're looking at 00:22:46.150 --> 00:22:50.509 them. Cricket? Cricket? Me, myself, and I. She's 00:22:50.509 --> 00:22:56.349 swapping with Target. Okay. But a costume swap. 00:22:56.450 --> 00:22:58.210 Because what if you just need a piece of something? 00:22:59.089 --> 00:23:00.950 Like, I just need this crown. That's a great 00:23:00.950 --> 00:23:03.069 crown. I have everything else or whatever. You 00:23:03.069 --> 00:23:05.410 all have kids of the same age. Like, oh yeah, 00:23:05.589 --> 00:23:08.569 you were Minnie Mouse last year. Like my daughter 00:23:08.569 --> 00:23:10.630 wants to be Minnie Mouse. Why are you gonna go 00:23:10.630 --> 00:23:14.789 spend? $49 .99 at Halloween spirit when you know 00:23:14.789 --> 00:23:17.990 spirit of Halloween and Halloween spirit Love 00:23:17.990 --> 00:23:24.930 it Halloween spirit y 'all Just swap Minnie Mouse's 00:23:24.930 --> 00:23:28.430 okay So this one this one kind of goes with Melody. 00:23:28.430 --> 00:23:31.430 I don't know how Melody made her cat mask. I 00:23:31.430 --> 00:23:34.390 got a picture of it It's a big secret for Halloween, 00:23:34.450 --> 00:23:38.039 but my goodness it It does look expensive. Right? 00:23:38.140 --> 00:23:40.200 She did such a good job. I'm so proud of her. 00:23:40.359 --> 00:23:44.180 It's well done. But ditch the plastic. Like, 00:23:44.220 --> 00:23:46.099 you know, you can go to that Halloween spirit 00:23:46.099 --> 00:23:51.099 and just pick a mask off the wall. Like what 00:23:51.099 --> 00:23:54.960 Dean did? Yes. Wait, what's Dean being? The Stormtrooper. 00:23:56.579 --> 00:24:00.740 Sorry. We bought his $49 .90. I am like the oxymoron. 00:24:00.960 --> 00:24:04.279 We bought his $49 .99 Stormtrooper, but my kids 00:24:04.279 --> 00:24:07.309 are spending $9 ,000 on making their costumes. 00:24:07.670 --> 00:24:10.670 Also, I really wanted Dean to do... I know, Saja 00:24:10.670 --> 00:24:14.730 Boyz and Demon Hunters. He's a storm... He's 00:24:14.730 --> 00:24:16.069 very upsetting. I know, I'm sorry. He was on 00:24:16.069 --> 00:24:19.130 board for a hot minute. Yeah, he was really into 00:24:19.130 --> 00:24:22.390 it. But again, when the kids are... This is why 00:24:22.390 --> 00:24:24.589 it can't be done in June, because when the kids 00:24:24.589 --> 00:24:26.750 are really into something in August and September, 00:24:27.210 --> 00:24:28.910 they're into something completely different in 00:24:28.910 --> 00:24:31.470 October. That's true, that's valid. Like he has... 00:24:32.250 --> 00:24:35.529 a one track mind until his one track is something 00:24:35.529 --> 00:24:41.549 else. I had an itch, sorry. No, that's true. 00:24:41.710 --> 00:24:45.849 And I feel like I'm pretty similar. I can't wait 00:24:45.849 --> 00:24:48.009 to see what you come up with. There's nothing 00:24:48.009 --> 00:24:50.369 in the atmosphere. There's not one idea yet. 00:24:50.710 --> 00:24:52.210 I thought you guys were gonna be demon hunters. 00:24:52.939 --> 00:24:55.579 Dean ditched us. You were gonna be Demon Hunters 00:24:55.579 --> 00:24:57.319 and then we said we were gonna be and you were 00:24:57.319 --> 00:24:59.599 like, now we're not. I was like, oh my god, you're 00:24:59.599 --> 00:25:01.640 stealing. I'm not being a part of your family 00:25:01.640 --> 00:25:05.079 clan unit. And then I got into it and now you've 00:25:05.079 --> 00:25:10.079 all rejected me. Yeah, sorry. We used to do family 00:25:10.079 --> 00:25:14.299 costumes and melody and up until last year, last 00:25:14.299 --> 00:25:16.319 year, they want to be their own people. And I 00:25:16.319 --> 00:25:25.349 hate it. Don't fall for the cheap stuff. That 00:25:25.349 --> 00:25:28.130 is Halloween. I mean, that is the embodiment 00:25:28.130 --> 00:25:31.470 of Halloween. It's cheap. I know, but like going 00:25:31.470 --> 00:25:35.009 to the dollar store or to Five Below, I mean, 00:25:35.170 --> 00:25:38.130 everybody has Halloween decorations now. And 00:25:38.130 --> 00:25:39.650 you're just like, oh, that's cute and it's cheap. 00:25:39.750 --> 00:25:42.210 I'll pick it up. And that's part of the problem 00:25:42.210 --> 00:25:44.710 because then the company is. think oh this is 00:25:44.710 --> 00:25:46.650 popular we're gonna do more next year we'll do 00:25:46.650 --> 00:25:48.390 double the amount that we did the year before 00:25:48.390 --> 00:25:51.930 it's just more plastic more micro plastic more 00:25:51.930 --> 00:25:56.549 waste more death for the earth i don't know it's 00:25:56.549 --> 00:26:00.009 it's yeah i agree but i am also the problem i 00:26:00.009 --> 00:26:01.750 went to michael's recently and i was like everything's 00:26:01.750 --> 00:26:05.170 50 it went yesterday did you and because we were 00:26:05.170 --> 00:26:08.930 buying stuff for the costumes yesterday the kids 00:26:08.930 --> 00:26:12.069 had off and we had planned it is a fun day like 00:26:12.069 --> 00:26:14.819 we to get excited about making your own costume. 00:26:15.259 --> 00:26:17.839 But everything was 50 % off and 60 % off because 00:26:17.839 --> 00:26:19.599 the Christmas stuff is coming out. Oh, I know. 00:26:20.039 --> 00:26:22.859 And like, we're unhappy because we haven't gotten 00:26:22.859 --> 00:26:25.099 to Halloween, but we're very excited. Don't act 00:26:25.099 --> 00:26:26.700 like we haven't been sending Christmas reels 00:26:26.700 --> 00:26:30.059 back and forth. Oh, I'm down for a Christmas 00:26:30.059 --> 00:26:32.759 cookie right now, but the stores is aggressive. 00:26:33.180 --> 00:26:35.359 Yes, but. I think being out in the stores is 00:26:35.359 --> 00:26:37.619 really aggressive. 60 % off, you don't think 00:26:37.619 --> 00:26:39.720 I bought Frankenstein hands that were making 00:26:39.720 --> 00:26:45.200 a peace sign? Of course I did. So I am part of 00:26:45.200 --> 00:26:47.519 the problem. And I was like, this is $3 .99. 00:26:47.900 --> 00:26:53.099 This is $17 .99. I bought a Venus Fly Trap, like 00:26:53.099 --> 00:26:55.599 little shop of horrors, big plant, you know, 00:26:55.619 --> 00:26:59.059 for $18. And I was like, $600 later, we're leaving 00:26:59.059 --> 00:27:02.720 Michael's. Not really. But yeah, $5 .59. Yeah. 00:27:04.000 --> 00:27:06.819 But yeah, I am part of the problem. Did I need 00:27:06.819 --> 00:27:10.220 any of that? If you saw my house. When you walk 00:27:10.220 --> 00:27:12.339 into my house, it looks like Halloween exploded. 00:27:12.460 --> 00:27:15.759 I don't need anything. Accurate. I need money, 00:27:16.019 --> 00:27:19.400 but I don't need anything. And I spent all my 00:27:19.400 --> 00:27:22.220 money and I got the things. So don't do as I 00:27:22.220 --> 00:27:25.960 say, not as I do. I think we've learned that. 00:27:26.240 --> 00:27:31.400 I think at 131 episodes, we understand that now. 00:27:31.980 --> 00:27:36.700 I would say by one thing a year that you really 00:27:36.700 --> 00:27:39.420 want. Maybe I didn't need the peace fingers, 00:27:40.819 --> 00:27:44.460 Frankenstein's peace fingers, but next year I'm 00:27:44.460 --> 00:27:46.640 gonna buy one thing, because I don't have enough 00:27:46.640 --> 00:27:49.000 storage in my house, to be honest with you. I 00:27:49.000 --> 00:27:51.480 mean, I will say I do enjoy, I just posted on 00:27:51.480 --> 00:27:53.240 my story yesterday, I enjoy the houses that do 00:27:53.240 --> 00:28:01.000 an entire front yard scene. That's me. That's 00:28:01.000 --> 00:28:05.400 me. You like me? My house? Okay. No. Let's... 00:28:05.369 --> 00:28:10.410 Let's be specific. I will repost what I sent 00:28:10.410 --> 00:28:13.210 on our Fit to Be Real page, so check this out. 00:28:13.630 --> 00:28:15.990 It was an entire graveyard scene. There were 00:28:15.990 --> 00:28:19.730 pumpkins that sang. Every little bit of this 00:28:19.730 --> 00:28:22.930 front yard was an amusement park. Carly puts 00:28:22.930 --> 00:28:25.490 out inflatables. They're just inflatables. They 00:28:25.490 --> 00:28:27.210 just stand there, and you're like, cool. I wonder 00:28:27.210 --> 00:28:29.789 how much that was once. Oh, that one's even bigger. 00:28:29.930 --> 00:28:33.339 Oh, that's a giant vulture. They bought things. 00:28:33.420 --> 00:28:36.000 Can I tell you how many DMS I've gotten about 00:28:36.000 --> 00:28:38.099 people saying I love your front lawn? My kids 00:28:38.099 --> 00:28:40.539 love it. You're welcome. It's also not a front 00:28:40.539 --> 00:28:46.859 lawn. It's Do it right if you're gonna do it 00:28:46.859 --> 00:28:55.660 do it right I Will do it to myself It's a side 00:28:55.660 --> 00:28:59.700 lawn And that's it. That's all I had to say. 00:28:59.759 --> 00:29:01.720 I live on a main road. You can enjoy it as you 00:29:01.720 --> 00:29:04.759 drive by. Right, but it's inflatables. It's not 00:29:04.759 --> 00:29:08.019 a whole scene. Did you see the house? Yes. You 00:29:08.019 --> 00:29:09.640 took a picture of it. It's also not a scene, 00:29:09.880 --> 00:29:12.619 or it's not... It's a bunch of Halloween decorations. 00:29:12.640 --> 00:29:14.279 It's just a bunch of Halloween decorations, but 00:29:14.279 --> 00:29:16.559 it's the giant skeleton. It's like the $500 skeleton, 00:29:17.279 --> 00:29:20.859 like three of them. These people have money to 00:29:20.859 --> 00:29:24.349 waste. and they get a new thing every year, but 00:29:24.349 --> 00:29:27.309 it's a giant new thing. It's not just like, oh, 00:29:27.309 --> 00:29:30.410 cute little spider in the window. It's an expensive 00:29:30.410 --> 00:29:34.390 lawn. I hope they have cameras. Well, I will 00:29:34.390 --> 00:29:37.990 say if we are talking about saving money and 00:29:37.990 --> 00:29:40.089 you know everything in this world costs a ton 00:29:40.089 --> 00:29:44.490 of money and going back to the basics is one 00:29:44.490 --> 00:29:49.309 that you just you can't. What can you do? I don't 00:29:49.309 --> 00:29:52.319 know where we're going here. My kids still, I 00:29:52.319 --> 00:29:55.359 have 11, 9, and 6. They love getting in the car. 00:29:55.539 --> 00:29:58.339 She's 11 children and then she had 9 and now 00:29:58.339 --> 00:30:00.900 she only has 6. Yeah, they all keep leaving. 00:30:01.559 --> 00:30:04.099 They love getting in the car and driving around 00:30:04.099 --> 00:30:07.880 where we live at night and seeing all the really 00:30:07.880 --> 00:30:11.400 fun houses with the decorations. I agree. Beetlejuice 00:30:11.400 --> 00:30:15.980 House. And that is still fun for them. And it's 00:30:15.980 --> 00:30:19.559 free. Get yourself a coffee. start driving around 00:30:19.559 --> 00:30:24.140 the neighborhood at night. It really is an hour 00:30:24.140 --> 00:30:27.039 of free fun for the kids. We get out. We walk 00:30:27.039 --> 00:30:29.480 around the house. I wouldn't mind if people did 00:30:29.480 --> 00:30:31.319 that to our house. Some people actually come 00:30:31.319 --> 00:30:34.700 out of their houses when we come, not because 00:30:34.700 --> 00:30:37.039 it's us, just because somebody's admiring their 00:30:37.039 --> 00:30:39.440 decorations. And they're like, hey, how are you? 00:30:39.799 --> 00:30:42.799 So it's really fun. And it's free. You don't 00:30:42.799 --> 00:30:45.319 need to go. Except for the gas. Except for the 00:30:45.319 --> 00:30:47.779 gas, which is expensive right now. You don't 00:30:47.779 --> 00:30:49.920 need to be doing like all these crazy things, 00:30:50.099 --> 00:30:51.640 spending all this money, just like spending an 00:30:51.640 --> 00:30:53.420 hour in the car, driving around, looking at all 00:30:53.420 --> 00:30:56.940 the fun decorations is still fun. Yeah. And same 00:30:56.940 --> 00:30:59.519 thing with Christmas decorations and all the 00:30:59.519 --> 00:31:02.799 things. I agree. But that's a perfect segue into 00:31:02.799 --> 00:31:05.019 the next thing you should do with these front 00:31:05.019 --> 00:31:10.519 lawn spectacles is turn them off. Some people 00:31:10.519 --> 00:31:14.240 keep them on all night long. Oh, my God, do you? 00:31:14.819 --> 00:31:20.220 Yeah. Yeah. Well, you're paying for that. Like, 00:31:20.299 --> 00:31:22.880 you're paying for that. Andrew's paying for that. 00:31:24.660 --> 00:31:28.240 And he's in charge of turning them off. So I 00:31:28.240 --> 00:31:31.940 blame him. Oh, boy, he shouldn't be in charge 00:31:31.940 --> 00:31:36.900 of anything. But turn off. At some point, you 00:31:36.900 --> 00:31:38.880 got to turn it off. You're paying for the electric. 00:31:39.059 --> 00:31:41.680 And yes, somebody could argue that's probably 00:31:41.680 --> 00:31:44.319 pennies overnight. and then you're turning it 00:31:44.319 --> 00:31:46.500 off in the daylight and then it's only that eight 00:31:46.500 --> 00:31:50.059 hour window is just at night yada yada yada but 00:31:50.059 --> 00:31:52.880 that electric bill oh my god it's getting louder 00:31:52.880 --> 00:31:54.440 and louder outside i know i don't think they 00:31:54.440 --> 00:31:59.519 can hear that though can you we'll see i think 00:31:59.519 --> 00:32:05.259 you can um it adds up and then all of that energy 00:32:05.259 --> 00:32:08.799 that it takes to use that electricity is what 00:32:08.799 --> 00:32:11.839 is killing the earth and if Every house does 00:32:11.839 --> 00:32:14.839 that. That adds up for the earth. Not your wallet 00:32:14.839 --> 00:32:19.900 specifically, but the environment. Yeah, I agree. 00:32:20.019 --> 00:32:22.619 Like I hate what driving, say you're driving 00:32:22.619 --> 00:32:24.880 home somewhere at night and stores that have 00:32:24.880 --> 00:32:27.259 been closed since seven o 'clock have lights 00:32:27.259 --> 00:32:30.259 on all night long. Like an emergency light is 00:32:30.259 --> 00:32:34.079 one thing, but having storefront windows at midnight 00:32:34.079 --> 00:32:36.400 and then you can see through the store because 00:32:36.400 --> 00:32:38.940 all of their lights are on in the store. But 00:32:38.940 --> 00:32:40.519 the store's locked and you can't actually go 00:32:40.519 --> 00:32:43.160 shop there. Why are the lights on? Well, I would 00:32:43.160 --> 00:32:48.160 argue that our lights are on. See fit. Our big 00:32:48.160 --> 00:32:51.380 sign is on. Not all the time. No, it goes off 00:32:51.380 --> 00:32:53.500 at midnight. But that's also not in our control. 00:32:53.619 --> 00:32:55.920 Right. So sometimes it's not in your control. 00:32:56.099 --> 00:32:58.079 My lights on my front lawn and my inflatables, 00:32:58.299 --> 00:33:00.740 yes, they're in my control. And I am part of 00:33:00.740 --> 00:33:03.180 the problem. If you say you're part of the problem, 00:33:03.359 --> 00:33:05.160 then you become not part of the problem. If you 00:33:05.160 --> 00:33:06.660 acknowledge it. But definitely don't fix the 00:33:06.660 --> 00:33:09.859 problem. Just acknowledge the problem. It is 00:33:09.859 --> 00:33:11.920 step one. Yeah. Step one is acknowledgement. 00:33:12.259 --> 00:33:13.980 I acknowledge I am part of the problem. Step 00:33:13.980 --> 00:33:19.089 two, we'll see what happens. Carly's the founder 00:33:19.089 --> 00:33:24.009 of Halloween Spirit. Throwing a Halloween party? 00:33:24.589 --> 00:33:27.609 Send a digital invitation. Did it. I am part 00:33:27.609 --> 00:33:31.069 of the solution. Yes, even though using the internet 00:33:31.069 --> 00:33:34.349 is killing the earth as well. But I can't save 00:33:34.349 --> 00:33:39.289 everybody. You won't. Don't worry. You certainly 00:33:39.289 --> 00:33:44.210 will not. But digital is the way to go. I would 00:33:44.210 --> 00:33:47.309 venture to say for any party situation, we got 00:33:48.529 --> 00:33:53.150 Yes, a save the date with one piece of paper 00:33:53.150 --> 00:33:56.650 or cardboard for a save the date and the invitation 00:33:56.650 --> 00:33:59.710 was a QR on the back. Really? So the wedding 00:33:59.710 --> 00:34:04.289 invitation was all online and obviously the RSVP. 00:34:04.509 --> 00:34:07.970 I had to go through a lot of questions for the 00:34:07.970 --> 00:34:10.730 RSVP. Like what song do you want to hear by the 00:34:10.730 --> 00:34:13.269 DJ? That's sort of cool. I like that. Yeah, I 00:34:13.269 --> 00:34:16.710 got nervous so I didn't pick any song. you could 00:34:16.710 --> 00:34:20.449 type in your own song, your meal preference, 00:34:20.630 --> 00:34:24.010 do you need a shuttle ride, all of the, it was 00:34:24.010 --> 00:34:26.030 like filling out a form, but that was the RSVP, 00:34:26.110 --> 00:34:29.289 so it just went to their website, and the invitation, 00:34:29.530 --> 00:34:31.309 I didn't have to throw away, which is what we 00:34:31.309 --> 00:34:33.550 all do to invitations, we just throw them away. 00:34:34.429 --> 00:34:37.650 Even if they're cool looking. I think the only 00:34:37.650 --> 00:34:41.190 point of a wedding invitation, and I'm only saying 00:34:41.190 --> 00:34:42.849 wedding because that's more significant than 00:34:42.849 --> 00:34:45.429 a Halloween party, is that the bride and groom 00:34:45.429 --> 00:34:48.610 will want to keep one. Yeah, I framed mine. Did 00:34:48.610 --> 00:34:52.170 you? Yeah. And that makes sense to me. But like 00:34:52.170 --> 00:34:54.550 nobody else doing that. Yeah. I mean, it's in 00:34:54.550 --> 00:34:58.889 a box in my closet, but I framed it. Oh, but 00:34:58.889 --> 00:35:01.190 don't worry. Dad has it framed on his wall at 00:35:01.190 --> 00:35:04.889 his house. There are exceptions to every rule. 00:35:07.349 --> 00:35:12.019 That's weird. But yes, I love an invite. I like 00:35:12.019 --> 00:35:14.679 an e -vite too, and really a paperless post, 00:35:14.840 --> 00:35:17.860 I think, texts it to you now. So you can just 00:35:17.860 --> 00:35:20.119 click a link on your text. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. 00:35:20.300 --> 00:35:25.260 I don't feel like it's any less personal. Maybe 00:35:25.260 --> 00:35:27.840 for a wedding, I would feel differently, but 00:35:27.840 --> 00:35:29.880 maybe not. I don't know. I'll have to get back 00:35:29.880 --> 00:35:31.179 to you with how I really feel. I really need 00:35:31.179 --> 00:35:33.639 to like sit on this. Good thing you're not getting 00:35:33.639 --> 00:35:37.539 married again. I am, though. You know I am. To 00:35:37.539 --> 00:35:40.469 Andrew. Whoa, whoa, whoa, you didn't say that 00:35:40.469 --> 00:35:43.969 fast enough For any of us. I am having another 00:35:43.969 --> 00:35:46.570 wedding in my lifetime. We've talked about this 00:35:46.570 --> 00:35:50.369 talked about this with you and him Just saying 00:35:50.369 --> 00:35:53.329 I don't know why I think I'm gonna be out of 00:35:53.329 --> 00:35:58.869 town We have a brother He's out of town if someone 00:35:58.869 --> 00:36:01.429 does not live in your area and they are quite 00:36:01.429 --> 00:36:03.849 literally past state lines They're out of town. 00:36:04.050 --> 00:36:07.110 That is out of your town And if you're just not 00:36:07.110 --> 00:36:09.730 as smart as the rest of the room, your name is 00:36:09.730 --> 00:36:16.130 Victoria. Yes. Yes. Oh, that's a dong -dong. 00:36:16.230 --> 00:36:18.949 Never mind. I thought that was like, yeah, I 00:36:18.949 --> 00:36:28.329 got one on her. Avoid, we're moving on, avoid 00:36:28.329 --> 00:36:32.449 plastic spoons and paper plates, which is hard 00:36:32.449 --> 00:36:34.960 because I agree with it. But I don't want to 00:36:34.960 --> 00:36:40.440 do dishes. I agree. However, there are compostable 00:36:40.440 --> 00:36:44.719 knives, forks, plates. I mean, I know Christina's 00:36:44.719 --> 00:36:46.699 restaurants when she does catering. Christina, 00:36:46.800 --> 00:36:49.300 our Pilates teacher. What's up, Christina? All 00:36:49.300 --> 00:36:53.679 the Pierre stuff they do. Wooden, like compostable 00:36:53.679 --> 00:36:56.960 catering supplies. Which is more expensive. It 00:36:56.960 --> 00:37:00.980 is. But worth it. Right. I think. I didn't do 00:37:00.980 --> 00:37:05.949 that. I did plastic. But. agree that you should 00:37:05.949 --> 00:37:10.090 do that's not good enough when we're all burning 00:37:10.090 --> 00:37:16.750 next year next year you let's hope we make it 00:37:16.750 --> 00:37:20.829 folks this is a podcast about bettering yourself 00:37:20.829 --> 00:37:23.590 and and I have never acknowledged that I need 00:37:23.590 --> 00:37:25.949 to be better before I'm acknowledging that I 00:37:25.949 --> 00:37:28.349 need to be better so next year I'll be better 00:37:28.349 --> 00:37:33.869 you know what I mean Your steps are way too far 00:37:33.869 --> 00:37:37.989 apart. I sent you a DM or a reel the other day 00:37:37.989 --> 00:37:41.530 that was like, oh yeah, it was yesterday that 00:37:41.530 --> 00:37:46.650 said, stop bettering yourself. Just be vile, 00:37:46.949 --> 00:37:49.949 be violent, do all the things. I don't remember 00:37:49.949 --> 00:37:52.190 this. Be part of the plot. I sent it to you and 00:37:52.190 --> 00:37:56.989 you said, I'm rolling my eyes. God, you can't 00:37:56.989 --> 00:38:01.389 remember what yesterday was? I might have early 00:38:01.389 --> 00:38:04.250 onset dementia. Yeah. Well, that's great for 00:38:04.250 --> 00:38:06.130 me because I'll just remind you how wonderful 00:38:06.130 --> 00:38:08.010 and amazing I am when you start to lose it. I 00:38:08.010 --> 00:38:11.250 think you still feel you still feel things. Truth. 00:38:12.349 --> 00:38:15.090 You just can't remember it, but I think you can 00:38:15.090 --> 00:38:21.969 feel it. We'll see. We'll see. And then we skipped 00:38:21.969 --> 00:38:23.650 a bunch because there's a bunch, but we are kind 00:38:23.650 --> 00:38:26.429 of talking through a lot of them. But I would 00:38:26.429 --> 00:38:32.000 say save your I don't know who does this, but 00:38:32.000 --> 00:38:35.539 some people get rid of like the moment they wear 00:38:35.539 --> 00:38:38.139 it, it's done. They can't wear it again. There 00:38:38.139 --> 00:38:42.679 is no costume box. There is no, you know, let's 00:38:42.679 --> 00:38:45.480 save this for who knows when. And I understand 00:38:45.480 --> 00:38:48.199 that like minimalistically. Throwing stuff out 00:38:48.199 --> 00:38:50.420 after you use it. Right. But like don't save 00:38:50.420 --> 00:38:58.909 for the what if. Right. But what if those burlap 00:38:58.909 --> 00:39:03.190 shoe feet can work for the Oogie Boogie Man next 00:39:03.190 --> 00:39:06.809 year. 100 % true. We have a costume closet dedicated 00:39:06.809 --> 00:39:13.449 to our costumes. What a luxury. My kids dress 00:39:13.449 --> 00:39:17.909 up a lot and have always dressed up. And I kid 00:39:17.909 --> 00:39:22.469 you not, Louis has been making pouches out of 00:39:22.469 --> 00:39:25.869 the leather fabric we bought and stuff and it's 00:39:25.869 --> 00:39:30.659 time consuming. time away from the TV, time away 00:39:30.659 --> 00:39:32.860 from screens or whatever he could have been doing 00:39:32.860 --> 00:39:36.420 and he's been cutting and hot gluing and brass 00:39:36.420 --> 00:39:40.460 pinning and it's really cool. Now Lewis is really 00:39:40.460 --> 00:39:43.000 into it and Melody is really into it so I understand 00:39:43.000 --> 00:39:45.539 if your kids aren't into that but if they're 00:39:45.539 --> 00:39:48.500 not into it just save them because you never 00:39:48.500 --> 00:39:51.219 know what those pouches could be used for next 00:39:51.219 --> 00:39:54.369 year. It's everything she just said. I just wanted 00:39:54.369 --> 00:39:57.650 to make it longer, apparently. But why they gotta 00:39:57.650 --> 00:40:00.690 be leather? Because he wants it to be legit. 00:40:01.929 --> 00:40:04.769 So he's playing with cow skin? Yeah. Well, no, 00:40:04.849 --> 00:40:08.230 no, no. It's fake leather. As Melody said, it's 00:40:08.230 --> 00:40:11.789 fox leather. And I said, Melody, it's F -A -U 00:40:11.789 --> 00:40:14.989 -X. She's like, oh, she's like fox. And I said, 00:40:15.210 --> 00:40:19.860 no, it's faux. She's in advanced math, but maybe 00:40:19.860 --> 00:40:23.079 not advanced English. I thought you meant, like, 00:40:23.179 --> 00:40:26.619 from a fox. No, she was like, Mom, Lewis is buying 00:40:26.619 --> 00:40:28.559 fox leather. And I was like, why are you saying 00:40:28.559 --> 00:40:32.539 fox? Like, fox. She's like, F -A -U -X. I was 00:40:32.539 --> 00:40:37.599 like, it's faux. Aw, you don't know French. Aw. 00:40:38.539 --> 00:40:41.380 But it did make... Lewis realized he had said 00:40:41.380 --> 00:40:43.119 a couple years ago he wanted to be a costume 00:40:43.119 --> 00:40:46.780 designer. And we were like, oh, cool. And now 00:40:46.780 --> 00:40:49.619 he sort of lost it a little bit. And now making 00:40:49.619 --> 00:40:51.219 this costume, he was like, Mom, I really do. 00:40:51.340 --> 00:40:53.760 I want to make costumes for movies. So I was 00:40:53.760 --> 00:40:56.699 like, OK, cool. If you can do that from Springfield, 00:40:57.000 --> 00:40:58.780 absolutely, because you're not allowed to leave 00:40:58.780 --> 00:41:05.900 me. I can't describe what it feels like internally 00:41:05.900 --> 00:41:12.190 when she speaks and says stuff like that. It's 00:41:12.190 --> 00:41:17.829 so upsetting. Real and real extra. I do have 00:41:17.829 --> 00:41:19.510 two questions before we leave. I know we talked 00:41:19.510 --> 00:41:22.949 a lot about money and how to save, and I really 00:41:22.949 --> 00:41:27.050 do think it's important. It's hard. Those gift 00:41:27.050 --> 00:41:28.989 bags that Victoria's probably spent a lot of 00:41:28.989 --> 00:41:32.989 money on are not entirely necessary. The kids 00:41:32.989 --> 00:41:35.489 are going to have fun regardless of a spider 00:41:35.489 --> 00:41:40.070 ring. I did paper. Oh, you did? Oh, good. Congrats. 00:41:40.769 --> 00:41:46.889 But, and the candy is, I throw the kids out like 00:41:46.889 --> 00:41:49.449 six months after. And of course my kids are like, 00:41:49.590 --> 00:41:51.030 where's our Halloween candy from last year? I'm 00:41:51.030 --> 00:41:52.909 like, number one, if you can still eat it six 00:41:52.909 --> 00:41:55.309 months later, it's not good for you. And number 00:41:55.309 --> 00:42:00.889 two, I threw it out. It's been gone. But. That's 00:42:00.889 --> 00:42:04.599 part of the problem. Okay. I have two questions 00:42:04.599 --> 00:42:07.880 for Victoria to finish off this. Halloween, what 00:42:07.880 --> 00:42:10.340 it means to us and how much we love it. What 00:42:10.340 --> 00:42:14.059 was your favorite Halloween costume growing up 00:42:14.059 --> 00:42:17.780 that you were? Like one that stands out to you 00:42:17.780 --> 00:42:21.260 that you remember? Chiquita Banana, cuz that's 00:42:21.260 --> 00:42:23.340 all I can remember. Chiquita Banana was good. 00:42:26.259 --> 00:42:28.960 My eighth grade year I was, I wore a Cowtown 00:42:28.960 --> 00:42:31.400 rodeo sweatshirt and put a hat on. It was a cowgirl, 00:42:31.559 --> 00:42:33.440 but it was like, because it was, you know, eighth 00:42:33.440 --> 00:42:37.500 grade and lame.
