Welcome back to the Mail-in podcast, a cold open on a cold morning in Austin, Texas.

To my right, the one and only, the lovely Sally DeFries.

Good morning, Sally, and happy Halloween.

Happy Halloween.

Thanks for, you know, I, thanks to everyone for bearing with us as the schedules change on a weekly basis based on my availability.

The good news is I think we talked about this going 0.8 in January, which means I'll have a set day off every week.

Let's go.

And we won't have to like try to work around the OR schedule. Mm-hmm. And actually it's not really a set day. It'll change depending on the week. But it'll be a set off day. But I'll have an off day. So we can like, the problem right now when we record for those of you who don't work an OR schedule is that I go to work at 6 a.m. and get off at like 3 p.m. And then after working for nine hours, don't really have the energy. And also, y'all are usually, there's other wash stuff happening, like when I get done at 3 p.m. So it's best when we can actually record in the mornings, but I'm at my job in the mornings. It's true. You and it's a very, you know, I would consider this an important job in helping folks out there. It is not saving lives and helping people save lives. And you do that on a daily basis. So we will, when I have a day off, we'll be able to record at like 9 a.m., which is what we're doing now. Bang, bang. Well, we're not, well, it's 10 a.m. But you know what I'm saying. But it is Halloween morning and you had to get the squad ready to go. I had to take my Tigger and Winnie the Pooh to school. Nice. And it was hilarious. I told you right before we started recording for this class has seven Spider-Man's in it.

Or the fours.

So there's two classes.

But like between the, I don't know, 20 kids, there's seven Spider-Man's.

Just a lot of Spider-Man.

A lot of pointing at each other.

You can't see that.

What does the trick-or-treating plan look like for a four-year-old at this point? Well, you, you start earlier than you think. I remember back in the day, it was like four or five. Yeah, it's like while the sun's like starting to set is when people are getting out there. So we're going, the thing about

trigger treating now, maybe this existed when we were kids, but it's way more prevalent now is I think

it's like specific streets. Are like designated tier. Because it's like you don't just like pop into

your own neighborhood. Like it's like for example there's three areas in Austin that

I'm like thinking of specifically like one street that we usually go to on Halloween where my sister

lives. One that's all of our classmates are going to that's like a giant like block party

and then the one we're going to tonight that's in a different neighborhood with some of our friends it's like there's a specific street everyone goes out all

out for it like all the you know a lot of the families you don't even like go up to people's
