This is beyond a reasonable doubt with your hosts Mark Geragus and Gary Smith.

Well, welcome to the first post-Holloween.

Is it the first post-Holloween Sunday bar?

Yeah, absolutely, Halloween was this past Tuesday.

Okay, well, as somebody who was not taking anybody trick or treating, although in New York I will tell you

when I was there, they have this phenomena.

Are you aware of this where they will put the bowls of the candy out in the

hallway of the high rises?

Yeah.

And if you are taking a trick-or-treater who's sub four years old it is very difficult to to convey to them

that it's just one piece out of a massive bull I don't know if you've ever had

that problem.

Yeah, I have, especially during, during COVID, there was a lot of that, you know,

distancing thing or there was a big bowl and it's very tough to get a young toddler to grasp the idea that they should only take one because there will be more houses down the road.

It's a struggle, but you know, you do what you can.

I guess it teaches them patience, but then I saw a clip of Adam on the difference

between California and other places. Have you seen this clip? I haven't. Okay, Maybe you'll insert it at some point so that so that he can talk about it, but it's a very interesting commentary on the difference between Los Angeles and the rest of the country

and I think I would expand it to that it's also a phenomenon that you see in New York.

In the United States, we do this thing where we take these little European nations and we go,

oh, in Sturtldorf, they have a needle exchange program.

It works out perfectly.

It's perfect.
