Today's episode is brought to you by our lead sponsor, Safe House Project.

Do you guys have strong preferences on the candy that you give out?

Because I will tell you, we collect all the candy that we've accumulated over the summertime

from all the parades that we attend.

Because our kids just love grabbing all the

parade candy right they put in the bag we don't give him Joe's giving out peppermints

and bubble go like little American flags from 4th of July so we save all that candy because we don't

eat a lot of candy in the household.

So then come Halloween, we have no problem giving away all that parade candy that accumulated.

Joe, you'll appreciate this.

We were talking about it today because I'm back at my parents' house.

And we, I grew up in a very wealthy neighborhood. My dad's a pastor, so, you know, we,

we were roughing it. But no, the thing, the thing specifically in Lake Forest is that like,

there's this competition or social pressure to provide king-sized candy bars.

And I remember growing up, it's like, man, why would anyone not do king-size candy bars?

Those are all the cool houses.

That's the gross thing.

And now I'm sitting there thinking like, these people are spending hundreds of dollars on candy.

will like bus kids and families in. So then it's like there's just even more candy that you

need to buy and it's become this whole thing that's just ridiculous. I cannot believe you just

said your childhood was like, why would he not do king's say?
