Hello and welcome to the luxury podcast.

My name's Jonathan Vernon Smith and with me is William Hanson.

This is the podcast that helps you live a more luxury life.

Sorry, William.

You being awake. I'm so bored. Sorry, Willough. Keeping awake.

I'm so bored.

We've only just started.

Hello, Jonathan and I here.

I've covered my mouth to help you create the everyday moments of luxury that make life worth living

whatever your budget.

Now in each episode of the luxury podcast, if you can stay awake, William and I will tackle

an area of life that we think you should upgrade, sorting the onslaus from the higher

synths, advising the nation in gracious living.

So William, what are we going to talk about today?

Our favourite topic, our favourite time of year, we're talking about Halloween.

Oh.

Yeah.

I hate Halloween.

I do too.

But I would say as a child, or when I was younger, I was probably indifferent to Halloween. I would say my hatred, it gets stronger with every passing year, because every year it gets more and more common.

Gets worse. Yeah. And as a child, I think we carved a pumpkin. We stuck it outside, we lived in the middle of nowhere, so we never got trick-or-treaters. Right. That was the extent of Halloween. Fun, carve the pumpkin, stick it outside, look through the window, going, oh, doesn't that look spooky? Mm-hmm. Normal day. Yeah. We always did sparklers on bonfire night. That was always more exciting. Mm-hmm. Well, you say exciting?

Well, you say exciting? Well. I mean, they were rubbish, weren't they? Well, they were, but, you know, when you... You get your mum to light it off the gas hob, and then you stand outside the back door going, ooh, for about five seconds, and then it goes out. They were rubbish, weren't they?
