Welcome to Rates and barrels. It is Thursday, September 29th.

Derek Van Riper, Enoceris here with you, or Mike and Sully,

if you are following a popular tweet that's been bouncing around the internet for the last 24

hours or so. Somebody put a tweet out there that was, I think every podcast duo are just these guys.

And it was a picture of Sully and Mike from Monsters, Inc.

And I think it was determined by one of our listeners that I am Mike, the guy, the green guy with one eye because of my bright, shiny forehead, thanks to my light being in the wrong position, which is so flattering, but probably deserved, totally deserved. All right, well, I'm the big monster then. Right, and he has the all-time scare record, too. Big doofy. And he's got the cool fur, right? The blue and green, teal, purple. I don't know, it's a lot of fun colors. Maybe I should go for him for Halloween. Go as him for Halloween. That'd be pretty good. Yeah. So. Make one of my kids dress up as. Yeah, one of your kids would probably want to be the other one. Or if they refuse, you know, I can, I can step up, I can contribute.

I like Halloween.

It's a fun day.

The size of the proportions are wrong.

Yes.

It works better with one of my kids.

Do you have a best Halloween costume that you ever had, one that you're particularly

proud of?

Yeah, my best ever was in tandem with my wife.

I was Kenny G.

When I had my long hair.

I've seen the pictures of this.

This is incredible.

And all I had to do other than, I didn't, like for the hair was,

instead of parting in the middle,

I just had to part it like Kenny G.

And I look almost exactly like him. You said to get an old shirt from the 90s? Yeah, I had to get like a mock turtleneck or something and like, and I got, and I made like a, I forget what the name of his instrument is. That's a saxophone, I believe. No. Kenny G plays a saxophone. But he also plays like a, like a straight one. That's like a, it's like a straight flute. It's like a, it's like a tin whistle? No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Like a, like an oboe or something. It's like a, it's like a clarinet or something. It's like a, one of instruments I don't think it was a sax yeah well that's the main one he plays but he plays other stuff apparently clearly I'm not a big Kenny G fan I was singing the like the seminal song do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do uh and i had i had the i made the instrument from that song
