The doctrinares are all, well, Audum will join us in a moment.

Tim Andrews is here.

Jared Yamamoto is here.

George Clark is here.

And here's the big day.

The day that adults stole from children.

Many years ago.

Because what's been happening a lot, which is sometime around 25. stole from children many years ago.

Because what's been happening a lot, which is sometime around 25, 30, 35 years ago, children stopped wanting to become adults.

You have your arrested development.

And now the 42-year-old is like, hey kid, get out of my way.

This is my holiday. It's my holiday now.

Get out of here. No, it's great because... Who gives a damn about kids that are happiness? Get out of it. We're getting drunk, kid. You want to come into my haunted house? There's no pressure with Halloween. That's what makes it nice. With Thanksgiving and Christmas, obviously, they're beautiful holidays and it's great to spend time with your family. but with Halloween, there's just less pressure. You're just partying. You're having fun. You put on a costume.

If you don't have a family, there's less pressure. If you have a family, there's tons of it. Well, I think I can say that Jared's right about one thing. The difference is that there's no feast. You know, there's pressure because, you know, everybody doesn't come back into town and get together again as a family over Halloween. Right. So, you get that pressure with Thanksgiving and Christmas, which is not everybody ends up being in love with everybody in the wider family, and you've got to put up with them for a couple of days. But if you're driving home from work at 5 o'clock on a Friday, you're going to find out that there's a lot of pressure because the traffic sucks. Everybody's trying to get home.

Well, the traffic's terrible. Also, I love my neighborhood. I've lived there forever, but it's not the brightest neighborhood.

You know, so it's probably comes. No, I don't. Very, very smart people in my neighborhood. Of course.
