Welcome to the high and low podcast. This is your host, Bravo, Bravo, Joaquin, Bravo, and we're about to recap my favorite show right now, Salt Lake City. But before we do, let me tell you why I've been so behind on my pods. I talked about it a little bit on my Patreon. I am in the throes of Halloween stuff. Parent-lift Halloween stuff. We got the

trunk-or-treats on top of the Halloween night stuff. That's starting to happen mid-month. So this

Halloween thing is turning into like a two, two-and-a-half week kind of holiday celebration.

And that's fine. I love Halloween. It's also a lot of labor.

Trunker treats, class parties, actual Halloween. Then different community groups, they want to have

their own trunk or treats. I don't even know what's going on anymore. I don't even know what day it is

anymore. I'm like, it's Halloween every day, pretty much. And that would be fine if I was just getting to enjoy it. But I'm just, I'm in a costume, sometimes inflatable, sometimes not. And I'm just handing out candy to children, freezing to death, standing behind the back of my car. Waking up the next day, boot and rally, stretch out, do it again. And chunk or treats are so weird. If you don't know what I'm

talking about, let's just say you're listening from a place where you're like, I've never heard that before in my life. A trunk or treat is where you take the back of your car, you open up the tailgate, and you turn the inside of that vehicle, that little cavernous space, it's quite small. You got to fold yourself up like a little

envelope to get in there and then you got to turn it into like a Broadway ready backdrop.

We're talking set design. You got to have 3D. Some people have smoke machines, lights. And the

idea is that you pick a theme, Halloween-ish, and you turn your back of your car into that. Like it could be a monster's mouth or it could be like a game thing. Some people go the extra mile. They put a table in front. So then they got a table and they got the backdrop and their hand in candy. And sometimes they also have an activity plan. Do you see? You see the lift? So then all the cars go to a parking lot and they all line up

and then the little kids and their cute little outfits come around and they trick or treat there

in the parking lot from car to car. That is a trunk or treat. Way more effort goes into that

than when kids just come by your house and say trick or treat and you give

them some candy. Like yeah, some people go all out with their Halloween decorations for their house, but you got room. You can at least stand up. You can stand fully. And this young person was asking me, like, what I'm doing this weekend. I was telling them like, I'm doing a trunk or treat. And they didn't know what it was. So just like off the top of my head, I was trying to describe it. And I was like,

you know, kids go to a parking lot and there's candy. And it's like, this sounds real sketchy. So I came up with like the best way to describe it to someone who either like doesn't have kids yet, her hasn't heard of this. It's just like a Halloween candy tailgate. The way people go all out for a tailgate, that's a chunk or treat. So anyway, I went all in and it took a lot of my time and attention this week. And then while I was doing manual labor of cutting things out and getting decor ready, I was like, I need a show to watch. And this led to my second distraction of the week. I opened Netflix. I said, I just need to show a series

that can just like run in the background, kind of half watch it, keep my attention as I'm like

cutting little figures out and, you know, doing this and doing that and blowing up stuff.

And so I put on this series called Pol Dark, historical drama. There's some romance. There's a love triangle. All right. I'll put it on. I'll check it out. I'm burning through episodes. I can't stop watching them. I need to talk about Pol Dark with people. I need a Pol Dark support group. I'm going to have to do a pot on it. I started out with like feeling sorry for this man, which is always a mistake. Don't feel sorry for men. and by, I'm almost at the end of season two right now, I hate this man. I'm cursing under my breath every single episode now. So I'm very thankful to watch Salt Lake City to get my mind off of that. Ross is working my last nerve. Also, I saw that Angie was on an episode of Wife Swap. I cannot wait to watch that. I've seen clips of it.

I was crying from the clips. She ends up with a family who lives off grid. That's so cool. So much

respect if you can do that. And so all her glamour and everything, you know, fish out of water story.

That's what they're going for on Wipeswap. So she adapts so well. And I think Angie, you know, on the inside is such
