When we left off, Ryan was telling us the songs he chews. Kenny, would you like to go? I like this bet. Yeah, that's, uh, unfortunately, Kenny is not here today, but, uh, I asked him if he wanted to come on for round two of Brad's bar mitzvah bit and, uh, somehow I could not convince him to join us. He did say that next time Brad's not around, he will join though. Okay, cool. Can I get real with you guys? Can I get real for a second?

Context outside the activity. question: What were your Halloween traditions? notable references: There was no coffee shop. For St. Patrick's day? You rock Mardi Gras colors, Brad. reviewed full source context: he will join though. Okay, cool. Can I get real with you guys? Can I get real for a second? Are you sitting in a chair? The chair is like backwards? I think so. Yeah, well, yeah, sure. Yeah. Should you turn your cap backwards too to really get down to our level? I look terrible in hats. You look terrible anyway. What's the difference? No comment. I would like to get real because I dropped the ball on something last episode. There's something I did not do that was really bad. Ah, you didn't separate the fish from the meat. No, I totally ignored the fact that there was no coffee shop. So I apologize to all of us. Whoa! There was no coffee shop. I apologize to all our listeners that wait for me to have reactions to the coffee shop. So I apologize. I don't even know if there was, I don't even think there was coffee. There was no coffee shop. There was no apartment. There was no anything. And I didn't have a reaction. You're not married to the apartment. No, but I'm just like, I could have commented on it and I didn't. And I just want to apologize to all our listeners out there. There was no coffee shop. Where did the episode take place? I know there was a lot of office, but Boston, Boston, but that was just the last scene. It doesn't matter. We can't wait for the last episode. What are we here to talk about? It's, it's a Halloween episode. And I think it's our first chance to do a Halloween episode. What were your Halloween traditions? We have all these different holidays and they all have these different traditions and different families do different things. Were there any like very Halloween specific things you did growing up? I walked around my neighborhood. I did the neighborhood thing as well for candy. Yeah. We would map out which houses to go to and when to go to them. When you say map, is this like budgeting? You don't know what a map is? No, we would. What do you mean you mapped it out? We would hire a visual artist to draw out our neighborhood and then we would go from house to house based on the recommendations of the government. For me? Why did you need a map if the government told you where to go? Oh, this is when I was living in Alaska. So there wasn't as many houses. So it just helped. This would be more plausible in Baltimore, honestly, that you needed like a safety map of where you're allowed to trick or treat. Yeah. The tricks in Baltimore are a little rough. Yeah. God, could you imagine? You lived it. What do you mean? Well, when did you age out? What was the last year you went trick or treating? How old were you? Brad, you were what? 21? Brad hasn't stopped. Sixth grade. Brad has to quote unquote, do it for work. He's still on the mailing list for the map. So. No, I got over it very quickly. I don't love like asking people for things. I'm not good at that. I don't know. I got over it. If I like sixth grade, I was done. You don't like asking people for things? Yeah. I'm just not a big fan. That's what Halloween is. Give me, give me candy, please. It's like, we're all participating in this. Is sixth grade early to stop? What, what is the normal age to stop at? I don't even know. I think, I think we, I think my last one was eighth grade. We were definitely middle school. I, I don't know the exact age. It was probably middle school. I will say that when I was maybe 16, I was definitely in high school. Me and my friends did like a ironic trick or treating. What does that do? Where we just got dressed up and I mean, we, we basically was just trick or treating. I'm annoyed listening to you. What an annoying stance. Somehow we thought it was okay because we knew that we were too old. You know what? Like I, I think looking back, like, I don't know why I stopped now that I'm like older. It's like, yeah, I should have just done it till I was 20. I don't know. It gives a shit. It's candy. It's great. Why did I get too cool for that? Doing ironic trick or treating is the most, the most annoying of both worlds, but also the most current thing I've ever heard. It's so current. This is a little off topic, but say Valentine's day. Obviously we know what adults do for Valentine's day, but you remember when you're a kid and you would just go around and like drop little notes in every one of your classmates, little paper bag thing. Yes. Yeah. And it had candy in it. Yeah. Like one of those universal things kids do that only happens in schools, like, like trick or treating is an outside of school thing. I think we did a weird St. Paddy's day thing too, actually in elementary school. I think we just like drop little candies in each other's back or some crap for St. Paddy's day. It was just all green stuff instead of red. I did something. We did, we made eggs and dyed them green. For St. Patrick's day? Yes. What? You did green eggs and ham for St. Paddy's day? Yeah. Is it that same teacher that made the green eggs and ham? Did he get pinched a lot or did you wear green? I think I wore green. I don't know. I don't remember getting pinched like ever. I feel like you always wear green. Yeah. It's in my color palette. Yeah. For sure. You wear green a lot when you're not wearing orange. Yeah. Orange and purple. Yeah. You rock Mardi Gras colors, Brad. I think in this episode, we're going to find out that Frasier is green with envy over the prank war. Should we talk about this episode? Let's do it. Orange, you're glad the discussions are over. coffee apology speaker: Brad route story speaker: Brad sixth grade speaker: Brad ironic halloween speaker: Curtis

Context outside the activity. segment type: episode discussion claim: bulldog and fraser were equals which i assume just means bulldog had a show notable references: upside down sleuthin reviewed full source context: We open to the sun rising over Seattle, then turning into a jack-o'-lantern. Bulldog enjoys the hero's welcome having just pranked Dr. Crane. When Frasier tries to go to a commercial break, he discovers he has been had again. Okay. How mad are you guys that we didn't get to see the actual prank? You know. Not very. He describes it. I mean, we know what it is. I would have loved to see. I would have loved to see. I would have been mad, although when they played the clip in the later scene, I think it's really funny. So you would have lost some of that luster if we saw the scene. I think it's funny how he inadvertently plays his own embarrassing, you know, freak out. But I do think that the actual performance of him freaking out was not as much fun as I hoped to be. My car! Oh, my car! What did they do to you, my baby? That's fair. That's where I disagree. I think it was probably a better, rather than getting the visual, because how much could he possibly be doing? I thought that little clip was a perfect amount. That was fun. I think this show is pretty good at the visual acting. I think they're good at, like, faces and body acting. I think it might have been more fun to see him react. The voice just felt a little force to me well agree to disagree although what we did see i didn't really love was the giddiness of the three office mates i think you had you had crazy kenny you had roz and i think it was bulldog bulldog yep that's his name bulldog this is another one where like roz felt out of character in this bit yeah it's hard it's hard to imagine her being so interested in what kenny and bulldog are talking about yes she would want to see fraser embarrassed but like i didn't buy the rest of it the rest of the interaction she's so chummy with them like so chummy that exactly yeah like which we've never see again yeah it's just it it feels like really inconsistent especially this season inconsistent writing with her the whole concept that bulldog pulled a prank say bulldog yes bulldoctor dr bull no he he plays a prank on fraser presumably as a halloween thing although i don't really know of halloween being a particularly pranky holiday they didn't say that right they didn't say oh what a good halloween prank because we didn't know it was even a halloween episode in this scene yeah i don't know it's just we saw the moon turn into a jack-o-lantern or whatever right it's just weird to me i don't i don't know why did he decide to do this now and why is everybody so into it everyone's so into it there's just i get why kenny would be into it right like that makes tons of sense but everyone's so into it it's not just that he's like oh you did a great prank what a good job that was fun they're acting as if finally we've been waiting so long for this and you've delivered and it's just like why were they so anticipating with this prank's also not that good right like you come back and see your car crumbling like what is this like but insurance is handling it worst case no i mean that would be pretty traumatic it's in a parking spot like nothing's gonna actually happen to it especially it's a parking garage right you gotta figure that the effort involved like you have to remove his actual car you have to not only get the damaged car but have it maneuvered into place like how so much work would have gone into this all for that screen yeah but like what's fraser even supposed to think happened like oh a bulldozer came in and smashed my car up like what's the implication of the prank i mean presumably a car must have like hit it but this thing was totaled we're gonna get into later the issue of pranks that don't work because the things that they're using are just not real things that don't exist but i don't think this one's that far-fetched you could you can find your car damaged and be like with the what the fuck like you you would if it was street level yeah sure but this is a parking garage it doesn't make sense i don't believe fraser has a bumper sticker that is interesting because the bumper sticker he describes is the kind you would expect him to have i suppose but yes it does feel a little trashy well and it does come back up in this episode and that's a hundred percent the reason they bring it up like yeah he obviously didn't pull it off his car i don't think this is how bumper stickers work but like stupid there's no chance that fraser crane has a bumper sticker on his car i did not make that connection because i i just didn't but it also wasn't wasn't that good of a joke well that's what i was gonna say though the joke payoff at the end is so weak they did not need to keep the bumper sticker line yeah i would have scrapped them both it's just diminishing fraser's credibility as uh someone in high society also stupid a stupid sentiment what was the bumper sticker again it was something about opera i love operas and and i vote or some shit like that yeah oh yeah that is what it was what a weird combo is it supposed to be funny or is fraser take that seriously he takes everything seriously politicians that support the arts i don't know i think they're just two sentences i don't think they're related whatsoever he's just like i need these two things on my car in one sticker he was at hot topic and he was just like oh these both describe me i was gonna say he had a custom order right i don't know where you would get that at standard expenses they've all got them yeah i don't even know like where the opera crowd shops in general i don't know like if you're if you and a group of opera people like let's go shopping i don't know where the first place if you're an opera goer i think you exclusively shop at like museum gift shops they might they might have that bumper sticker that's the only place that possibly could i mean not a museum but the opera's gift shop there's no way it's at the opera's gift shop i'm convinced that's the thing i don't yeah i don't think operas have gift shop i don't think they have like the one table of merch at an opera just doesn't sound right we should go to an opera we should do that when we should record live like right before it just to be really annoying you go to the sydney opera house and all you get is like a t-shirt that says i went to the sydney opera house and all i got was this t-shirt i'd get one that says i listen to the operas and vote we get our first title card is it october 31st again miles and daphne hide from trick-or-treaters having forgotten to get candy gert picks a fight with them instead have you ever trick-or-cheated in an apartment building i said i don't think apartment buildings do that yeah that's what i was thinking right you live in a you live in an apartment right now right i bother you do right yes in fact last last halloween i wanted to pass out candy and couldn't find anywhere anyone would explain when it happens and on the day like nobody comes to apartment anyway yeah i just wouldn't trust it the apartment is not the place where you're going to be trick-or-treating but also this kid is from the building like he lives i'm sorry do not say this kid like you don't know who bean is i knew you would say that sorry are you please do not disrespect bean bean who is bean bean boo shia labeouf's former best friend curtis please oh i didn't really watch what show is this curtis even stevens i watched like a few episodes of that what do you it was a transcended comedy of our time what do you mean we didn't have the disney channel it was on they they aired it on like abc mornings or something i don't think we had disney channel either but i saw all of it okay well is that the one with the hillary duff curtis that's not lizzie mcguire you're sending the same oh that's a oh okay it was not the hillary duff although they might have they might have done one of them crossover yeah they definitely did a crossover yeah yeah oh well that's for our next podcast anyway all i was going to say is that uh because this kid clearly lives in that building i'm saying this kid whoever this kid was just unnamed kid all right it does not strike me that the montana is the type of apartment building that's going to have a lot of children that they would have an entire organized trick-or-treating night it seemed very out of place for the building i'm imagining mostly old there why are you saying it was organized i feel like in an apartment building it has to do you think this random ass kid just showed up yeah yeah i do there's no evidence to prove he didn't okay i guess um niles and dafty are like oh we missed halloween again which does imply that they should have known people would come to their door they also knew what day of the week it was they should have bought candy what day of the week what halloween is not always on a day of the week they're good at calendars curtis they knew the date so they should have bought candy well they had received in the mail the map from the government so thank you they knew they were on the trail i'm really glad you guys listen to me on the show i sometimes wonder so that yeah we don't know why we do yeah it's always regrettable yeah i don't blame you is this how it works if you don't have candy you get tricked i've never heard that before i mean that's kind of the sentiment behind the phrase trick or treat but no i don't think in even the early 2000 people were still doing that i always thought the line was trick or treat like are you gonna play a treat a trick on me or are you giving me a treat like i'm here to find out apparently i think in st louis they have a tradition that you have to tell a joke what like the kid in order to get the treat the kid has to tell a joke sounds borderline creepy yeah i don't know about creepy but annoying sounds like a lot really slows down the halloween process well i guess you know what i'm with you grad it is creepy i'm not trying to interface with children yeah could you imagine like being seven years old and knocking on like a 70 year old man's door and he's like tell me a joke before i give you kid oh not not loving this voice not loving your st louis accent but it's a good point though how does that how does that even start i don't know how do any of these stupid traditions start how did you start coloring eggs for st patrick's day well it was brad that did that i was talking to brad back then i was bradley you know good on you for not bringing that up for two episodes you're really you're actually much better when we don't go to the coffee shop i i enjoy a couple of niles lines didn't you hear we've got no candy we can offer you hotel soaps yeah the other is when they start getting egged and he has to go out and get candy to stop getting egged going to need my slicker and my squash goggles what's slicker it's like a rain jacket okay wait is that is that real no one says that i mean it's niles why do you know what it means he's an english feature it's on chris did you wear it ironically while going around halloween you fuck yeah why didn't niles just go out his famously owned back door oh that's right and he's got like a secret entrance yeah because they only use it when it's convenient yeah bean knows nothing about this back door it seems easy you don't even need the slicker or the squash goggles curtis you son of a bitch i can't wait for the next scene with this kid now we get another title card okay what if the balloon were blue phasia brainstorms a terrible prank and gert finds herself in an escalating prank war with a child an unknown child yeah hey ryan yeah we're at the coffee shop oh thank goodness thank you is that the bit now gert buddy can you not doddle on it please you're gonna give me a hard time for slicker but you get to say doddle people knows what that means well why don't you mosey on through the rest of the scene i thought it was slicker when uh when fraser pulls out his his idea board or whatever the hell it is very good drawer he is which i wouldn't have asked wait a minute because i do not feel the same you've seen my drawings so you know yeah can you post to our instagram any of your drawing any of your works of art my drawing is terrible and i i own that but while frasers are competent like you can tell what he's drawn now i i can't claim that but they are so simple like they look like a kid's drawing i have a hard time believing he would be proud to share with these you and time drew i think it was a dinosaur and i know is that i don't even know if that's a joke or not like i was like it was so so far off as like what am i looking at the thing i can draw like my go-to drawing is a an elephant and you thought it was a dinosaur and not a good one so that's actually way closer than my memory hasn't so i was like i remember it like thinking it was an animal and it just wasn't that's how bad you are drawing actually getting back to halloween ryan went your wife then girlfriend and i lived together she and i decided to do pumpkins for halloween one year we got jet we made jack-o-lanterns and i hand drew a design and then tried to carve it none of which i'm qualified to do yeah i assume the carving actually helped you it was supposed to be a wolf howling at the moon that was supposed to be the image i created um and when you guys looked at it you were like is it a drowning whale like what is that yeah it sounds uh your photos posted on post on the gram i would love to revisit you think i preserved the memory of that failure anyway sir fraser draws out his pranks which is pretty fun right like his pranks are starting out crazy as fuck the balloon over the car is insane absolutely crazy idea for the record because i know some people are are pot only and are not watching these episodes we don't mean insane as in it's going too far or it's like elaborate we mean insane as in it is a stupid ass idea that has no chance of working and requires way too much time just way too much so much to go on for years to even do what he thinks it'll do for his signature prank i will tie a red balloon to the antenna of bulldog's car every time his precious seahawks lose a game over time the conditioned response will become ingrained in his psyche eventually the mere sight of a red balloon will bring about in him an inexplicable sense of loss check and mate but i don't know if you got this Curt when he shows the uh the seahawks losing the football score is 78 to nothing that would be a scoreigami can you believe that scoreigami that's a score that's never happened in a football game Curt oh literally in the history of the of the entire sport of the the nfl existing there's never been a score of 78 to nothing so you're saying that in these drawings there was a visual joke the writers implanted where fraser is so bad at sports that when he draws it he writes a score that couldn't possibly happen it could possibly happen but it's virtually um it's it's very very unlikely it's literally never happened in every single game that's ever happened before upside down time bulldog bulldog and fraser were equals you're not gonna say the word sleuthin i like when you say sleuthin it was a little upside down sleuthin Curt uh bulldog and fraser i guess were equals at one point i know which i assume just means bulldog had a show yeah this was interesting easy to see why he wouldn't have a show anymore because you know it's modern times we've seen a decent amount of bulldog to the point where i'm like okay so his job this entire time was guy in the archives room like what even is his job yeah getting banished to the basement is really really confusing or dungeon whatever they described i can't wait till we get to the episode where they reveal what this is all about because it seems weird to do something so bad that they're gonna banish you but not so bad that they just you know shit ban you yeah i mean i assume that they just said your show is like too to sexually graphic or you know too misogynist for this decade and i don't know you're right though i don't know i heard them be like i guess you're stock boy now there's a there's a reason why i'm being quiet and it's not because my brother told me to so we'll find out one day right probably my favorite moment in the episode is if i expect bulldog to leave me alone i've got to show him that he's dealing with a superior intellect show them the balloon car this was ross's best seed i thought easily in the episode or in the episode i know in the episode yeah this is the only scene where she's playing ross yeah i agree yes 100 nobody had their best seed this episode oh actually i thought gurney was pretty good in this episode top to bottom i actually enjoyed her quite a bit i think that she's best in small doses and uh this is not her in small doses but yeah all that considered she did pretty good her really going tooth and nail against bean great i i could see phrasia doing the same thing also being kind of fun curtis you son of a bitch yeah i don't know i thought the whole her bean thing got very old very quick really i thought it worked the whole way through i thought it totally fit her character we don't know bean well those who know him best say he's weird potty menace there you have made sense that he would grow up to live in this fancy apartment um but yeah i thought i thought gurney totally worked i don't know i like her being extremely petty and really really never uh relenting on that yeah so he thinks she's a winner right she at no point does she feel ashamed to be fighting with a kid or like she's embarrassed to be losing a bring war to a kid she declares victory many times this episode many times and when it dawns on her finally in any moment not just this episode but in general like if it dawns on her that she has lost or is losing she doesn't admit defeat and she doesn't accept defeat she just changes the subjects or pretends like it never happened and tries to move on she just tries to move back respect we get you guessed it another title card storage room of terror marty and ross help frazier build his elaborate prank involving actors pretending to be zombies in the storeroom oh i was so bummed out to see marty at the at the top of this one it's like yeah it's halloween he's too old for halloween this would be great no there he is did you think for even a moment that he was actually scared or in some kind of danger or did you just know that he was helping frazier with a prank i think i thought it was his uh security job for a second oh i don't think we saw ross right away i think it opened to him but yeah i didn't really think for a second he was scared he's not a very good actor is he the character of marty is not no definitely the character how much do you think he paid for those actors that's a great question i mean clearly todd was bottom barrel i mean that he must have got them from acting school i think they're all from acting school but they're also like aspiring actors in seattle washington they couldn't have cost much did it at one point he made a comment that ross got the actors yes that would make sense yeah i don't remember how or why she's the go-getter that's what she did that's what ross do i did like when frazier told todd i am getting dead from you but i'm not getting undead he took it so seriously i liked frazier directing zombies i did think that was pretty fun i agree i like director frazier you can tell that he's bad at it like the advice he gives is not helpful for what he needs zombies go after the brain like what are you supposed to do with that how are you supposed to play go for the brain i i liked when he gave them hilbert i thought that was good oh that pissed me off that was very very frazier like yeah it was very frazier and i really hate i was just like no don't do this you don't have to be this way did you guys catch the sports line he said in this uh scene no i don't catch sports lines why is it that whenever bulldog pulls a practical joke you all applaud him as if he's won some sort of bowl a cup or other sports dish oh i didn't like that that was good a lot actually ryan i'm sure you did not like this but marty got so angry so quickly he just started yelling and the zombies as soon as he sees them he's gonna know it's a prank because he just pranked you and there are no such things as zombies i i mean i didn't mind it was frazier was being fucking crazy i i just thought you hate any time marty sure there's any emotion i i liked it because it's it's basically him saying what the audience is thinking that's what i was thinking like why would why would bulldog fall for zombies like that's yeah but i think that's a movie thing the way he goes from being perfectly fine to the shouting lines of frazier is it's a little quick yeah yeah it's true yeah i mean this this episode is not good at uh character development and then frazier fired his dad and ross yeah which i loved that part which maybe why i didn't hate the scene he didn't uh he didn't fire him he released his father that's what i say to people when i fire them my bats i release you your services are no longer needed hey can we say that to brett about the podcast we i released you i released you great i'll be back on the next episode see you all later sounds right yeah classic marty behavior oh curtis we should prank him next episode hires a courier to take a bedwetting doll to jason's school to embarrass him in p i thought the scene was so creepy uh you know i think i think it's a really funny prank like it started out super weird and then i thought there were some good deliveries it would be a funny prank if you were the same age as the kid not if you were an old lady well i think that's the the line where the courier is like i don't think i could just walk around to school which later we do see frazier walk around to school no problem but like this guy's correct like you can't just go do that just to go deliver a very funny you pissed your pants joke no that's why he said she said it was for her grandson right i also think there's a weird uh curve here we're like if you're a little kid doing it it's funny if you're like a middle-aged man doing it creepy as fuck but like elderly old lady from britain not that creepy i don't know if my grandma did that that's amazing you're amazing grandma that's hilarious but you're right like if i if brad did it like dude what the fuck's wrong with you agreed a hundred percent thank god yes pro show homie come on yo you're not gonna guess but we've got another title card it pulls from the crypt while frazier directs the prank from his radio booth marty and roz join to see the action it's fairly alert not our last title card i think the writers of this episode invested a lot of time on the title cards didn't think through the jokes so much i don't think i read a single one of them after that first one where we learned it's halloween i was like i i kind of forget that they even happened but not only do they have a thousand of them in this episode they're all really long it's just worse stuff for curtis to read why is there such a crowd to watch him uh prank somebody it's just another like roz just being out of care like marty has nothing to do that's fine you know roz showing up with marty's weird i don't i never get it now now wait a minute so i will defend this a little the reason they're there is not because they're excited to see frazier's prank that's the pretense they give but the reality is they know in that moment they are pranking frazier spoiler alert and so they're there to watch him get his not i forgot you know we're taking on this like like we don't know that's coming yeah yes when you get this scene it's a little it's a little sucks yeah i do like how butthurt frazier is about uh i forget what he's making a callback but he goes the it was something i read i forget what he was referring to but a lot of vitriol at marty marty had he was saying people are good at different things bulldog is good at pranking frazier is good at reading things and and in this scene he does he does a nice callback now you're here to revel in my success just like in boswell's life of johnson what it was something i read delivered masterfully a credit to kelsey grammar he can turn a stupid line into something that's just gold just by the way he says words and you know shoots looks seething looks at people he's got a weird ability to be over the top hammy and yet because he's playing in this weird mid-atlantic accent and like uber pretentious you just believe that this man is so bizarre that he would behave that way yeah he's believably hammy right yeah which is then it's it's that like classic we always talk about with how where you're just like he i totally believe everything that kelsey grammar is doing sorry how so i'm malcolm in the middle okay i thought you're referencing brian cranson performance in that middle but i couldn't be sure i forgot his last name uh so i almost called him hal jordan which i believe is the green lantern yes yes you are correct why do you know that i like pop code didn't the malcolm and the middle family famously not have a last name for most of the run of the show that would make sense that would be why i can't find the last name i think they eventually revealed they're the wilker sons but not to like the last episode or something terrible last man yeah i see i see when they kept that in well unfortunately we're not reviewing nothing or reviewing this episode of friction so some of these scenes are tough they're like there's like just little little quick hitters that there's not a lot to actually talk about this scene is all exposition there's really no there's really not no meat on these bones setting up yeah after a trash can prank on the montana jason's parents join niles and daphne in disciplining their respective children slash parents girk and jason team up to prank the adults yes no title card people i get a lot of time in this one yeah it's pretty even i think i'm pretty sure every single fraser plot scene gets a title card and only the b plot scenes don't oh interesting kind of more close to like an a and a minus plot than a to b they're both they don't intersect really at all which oftentimes they do yeah they're very thematically linked that's true oh interesting yeah yeah i guess you're right english major for the win talking themes look at you you ironic son of a bitch i didn't i actually didn't have anything to take away from this it was fine i'm with you what you said earlier where like gert's sort of behavior in this episode is a lot of fun and uh i'm down for her to be unhinged enough to pick a prank war with a child and really go for it this scene where we get a first of all a lot of child acting in this episode which um and this kid there's a reason that he was never in any other you know shows that people would have watched he's not you know nothing he's a child but you know he's an adult now so i can say he was bad at that's gert's teaming up with the kid not only kind of a predictable ending but just it just falls apart like it just it's not funny it i don't buy it it's just no good i think there's one funny line in this scene when the parents go we're gonna take away your broad band very 2002 very 2002 never a line anyone said to anyone i thought gertie and bean were great in this scene i think i think this is one of nile's worst episodes by far and i think this scene really highlights it i don't i don't love what they're doing is clearly very hammy and for the bit it didn't feel in character for niles or even daphne we've got to factor in at this stage of his life he has an undied most heart condition that he's suffering yes that's true mercifully we get a final last title card no zombies were harmed in the filming of this episode pranks within pranks bulldog pretends to shoot a gun at the zombies which ross and marty are in on but when the zombie dies of scissors to the back we find out fraser teamed up with bulldog himself to get ross and marty got we can officially spray most amount of title cards in one episode woohoo yeah jesus this is a wild scene i definitely didn't see the double whammy coming i did like how it all came together i will say that it makes me think a lot of that community episode yes and i know this predates that by like a decade but i couldn't help feel like i'd rather be watching community episodes i can't keep track of any of it anymore i just keep teaming up with whoever suggested yeah draw the parallel between those two episodes interesting wouldn't have done it it's a fun episode though you can talk about community right yeah not this one didn't see the double whammy coming like that really really threw me off where it's just like because at the start of it's like this is stupid when we find out fraser's in on it you're like oh weird i do like we have now had back-to-back episodes of nold i don't like that because i don't think he's a strong character well you know we don't see him until he's like hanging from a door though yeah yeah and that was kind of fun i do like this version of nold the one that doesn't really talk and is just there in the background being tortured basically as they're tripling down on the pranks which is cool we're like three levels into a prank throwing came in there really didn't add to any of the pranks and was confusing there's just a weird throw in it's interesting ryan that you did not see this coming i've obviously seen it like i didn't remember the episode but i saw a lot of this coming a mile away curtis you remember you saw this coming this episode you've seen before how well that's what i was gonna say i was gonna say probably just my subconscious remembering it and not that it's ad how did they telegraph in any way shape or form that there'd be a double cross and then a triple cross fair enough uh i think the scene where ross and marty show up i was like by that in that scene i was like they're clearly there like because you pointed out it didn't make sense for them to be there we already had ross showing up and being weird like she was just having a weird episode regardless of what i remembered or didn't i did not buy the reaction we get out of ross and marty when like they see the guy's got a scissor in his back maybe they think that's but when she sees no and like like marty said earlier that's not a thing like zombies are not a thing you're not gonna find a dead body in the closet hanging in your radio station like she would have seen that and been like this is a prank yeah and even if you do like but you're so disoriented like best case you just don't pay any attention to it worst case you go why what is this guys stop it i could see just the shock factor of like opening something that not expecting it i can see like jumping at it but after they have a beat to kind of catch up and go oh we've been had instead they're like what's going on like yeah it's a it's a bad prank what do you want it's uh such a weird prank we get some real closure when fraser slaps a bumper sticker on the back of you can't get a bumper sticker off of a car that's just impossible right i assume he had multiple of these bumper stickers for when he when he maybe he bought a new one because he found out his car was wrecked he went to the museum gift shop and he spent 14.99 for another bumper sticker finally the the joke for the first scene came back that actually actually makes more sense than what i'm sure they talked through in the writer's room do bumper stickers even stick to to stuff i i have no idea what a sticker is it's a sticker is it what's okay question is it a sticker or is it specifically made for cars because i think it's specifically made for cars you twat i don't think that's true i don't think that's true at all what about it being specifically made for cars means it's not a sticker it's specific it's a specialty sticker it sticks to special materials probably i've never i've literally never held one you're saying it's an adhesive strong enough to withstand rain snow sleet stick to that car no matter what impossible to get off of that car once it's on but a leather jacket doesn't bind to the leather cart well you are an adhesives expert so it's it's a 3m specific product and it only works on exactly whatever my car is made of i'm actually tripling down i think i'm right i'm not gonna google it i'm not gonna ask alexa i'm pretty confident that i'm dead on having never once held a bumper sticker i'll give you this if what you're describing is a product that exists 3m is the one that makes it that is true obviously i think they're the only company that knows adhesives without a title card thank god fraser plays us out with a custodian in headphones noel is still hanging from the closet and freaks him the fuck out so is noel actually on the hook well this is one of those things that really breaks the logic of the show because clearly people in show business have ringed him up in such a way that he is is able to hang from this door but if it's just fraser and the like theater troupe from the local university or whatever i don't think they're gonna hang a grown man from a closet door this successfully i don't really know how you would do it temporarily without doing it proper but i also don't know how you would do it where he couldn't get down other than there was still a thing sticking out of him but you'd have to think it was fake and not sticking through his stomach so he should have never like ripped that part off well i mean yeah continue no continue that sentence fully don't cut that off with it yeah honest to god i've forgotten how the sentence started brad did you like this episode for me sleuthin requester: Curtis sleuthin performer: Ryan release joke speaker: Ryan

activity request: brad did you like this episode competition adjudication competition established: False reviewed full source context: honest to god i've forgotten how the sentence started brad did you like this episode for me i was not excited for this episode one bit it was not great it was as bad as i remember it you say you weren't excited going in like you remember it yes as soon as it started i knew exactly what the episode this was i just it was not for me dog i did i thought there were some funny lines but all in all i'm gonna give it a d minus wow what are the council brads the council brads we all voted and we all decided d minus curtis how do you feel oh are we getting are we getting a new council of brads yeah who's on the council this week oh sorry sorry sorry sorry phil mcgrawl dr phil what he's not a brad yeah dr phil there's nothing that says the council brads has to be only brads no yeah that was not a rule he never said that okay yeah curtis is making up his own rules to my best make it live in his own world yeah it's funny you bring up dr phil because the dr phil episode which i rank very lowly the only episode worse than dr phil is the freudian sleep episode and i'm putting this one between the two dr phil narrowly is better freudian sleep is always going to probably be the worst but um yeah this is boring annoying bad kid acting too much gert i like gert stuff to an extent too much what did bean do what did bean do i don't know you i don't know what you're talking about what is a bean i didn't find the pranks particularly interesting or believable i just didn't buy or enjoy any of this and it was bad i i did not like this one ryan tell us that we're wrong i mean you're not i'm not gonna fully try to fight that fight uh we're looking at mvps it is tough you got gertie as definitely the mvp like clear favorite being second which is not a good look of the main cast i love some of the fraser lines i was caught up in the triple whammy like i definitely didn't see that coming and i enjoyed a little bit of that but it was surrounded by just horrible pranks that were weird and made no sense the b plot was probably better than the a plot which isn't that i don't think has ever happened before never a good sign it's not a good sign it's not it's not ideal give it a four one which is the lowest i've given it but you know as always we've lowered some of the other episodes it's definitely not the worst i'm actually really surprised that your lowest so far you said this is your lowest so far it's the lowest score i've given i've definitely dropped some of them since okay but it's not the worst episode four one feels i mean it's obviously not a good episode it's low but it feels still in kind of the middle of the pack world like it's kind of i don't i'm surprised i don't think you're gonna hear a two out of me at this point like it's it seems unlikely wow okay i think we've gotten i think we've probably gotten some threes you know so a couple in that range but hard to imagine a long way you've come a long way i feel like early early on in this in this reverse we watch you were very you took you a few episodes to even be convinced this was worth your time never said that Curt but that you are now saying that you you find it hard to believe you'd rank a fraser episode lower than a three that's that's i'd be surprised i would be very surprised i mean like on its worst i thought there was plenty of enjoyable bits on this episode fair enough i really can't emphasize this enough niles horrible episode and i think that's what hurts it for you two so much because you guys love him you do at no point does he bring anything to the party yeah but it's a bad ross episode it is a really bad ross episode too but we we've seen a couple of those this is this is really rare for niles where even even when we have a bad niles episode he's doing some weird physical comedy we don't even get any of that just a slicker just a slicker we just get we're learning what one word means probably assuming curtis is correct i'm right

title: candy war activity premise: there are only four trick-or-treaters on our street activity request: we're gonna share which candy we're gonna give each of these trick-or-treaters rules: then we're gonna vote on who gave the worst candy for each round whoever is giving out the worst candies in the end they're gonna get pranked scoring method: we each picked a different one which means it's war then we will decide of those three which is the loser competitive scoring statement: i i have gotten two losses in this game result type: they're gonna get pranked reviewed full source context: a lack of candy instigates gert's prank war but which of us will get pranked in a game of candy war in this game there are only four trick-or-treaters on our street fair to say you haven't over-engineered this at all no no no no this is we're near over-engineered this place does you went to the store and bought a different candy for each kid as you do for trick-or-treat yeah that's how it works uh well when you live in the montana and there are only four kids in the building and you forget it's uh it's october 31st so we're gonna go around and we're gonna share which candy we're gonna give each of these trick-or-treaters and then we're gonna vote on who gave the worst candy for each round now whoever is giving out the worst candies uh in the end they're gonna get pranked curtis did the trick-or-treaters have specific costumes they sure do the first little kid coming across this this street coming across the street i'm sorry where are we yeah we're in the apartment oh we're in the part i'm sorry we're in the apartment well he's crossing the street to get to the apartment he's entering an apartment that's not how that works you never go into an apartment to trick-or-treat well barriers are no problem for this kid because he's dressed as a ghost fran what are you giving the ghost yeah so i misunderstood the game and thought we came up with our own costumes boy what are you wearing yeah what costume you're wearing for each trick-or-treater you maniac aquaman ew he's already over-engineered and grab that i over-engineered it first no i thought we chose a candy that went connected to a halloween costume but we chose the halloween costume to connect oh you thought we put thought into this yeah i'm sorry what do you think the aquaman candy bar no no so i wrote like where's waddo would eat a payday why what yeah that doesn't make sense no because okay like that was normal because where's waddo is the whitest halloween costume with paydays the whitest candy what yeah only white people eat paydays um do we and then i said transformers or sour patch kids because they transform flavor i would do a lifeguard as an almond joy because you're supposed to feel like you're at the beach when you're eating you wouldn't do it you wouldn't do lifesavers no those are sucky candies you said candy candies can i answer your question now i'm sorry why you why you think almond joys are for life cards because you've never seen the commercial where you eat one and you're on the beach no oh well go go youtube it all right this is a long way of saying a ghost would eat a york peppermint patty ew what yeah why because they're like a similar shape you know like a circle oval what have you ever seen a york peppermint patty and have you ever seen a ghost yeah and if you open up the york peppermint patty it kind of looks like a ghost you're saying the inside is white yeah sure yeah ryan what did you pick wow as fuck you for you brad i am giving the ghost a butterfinger what what about the ghost red butterfinger to you apparently that's part of this ghosts are like ghosts are like slippery you know like they're hard to grasp if you're trying to catch a ghost just like a butterfinger is implying that's slippery because you got butterfinger's also they're fucking delicious candy bar i'm like a york peppermint patty goodness how are you gonna top that one yeah i thought curtis was gonna be bringing shit like york peppermint patties to the party so no no no i i i'm giving this kid a peanut m&ms it's a good choice do you want to know why i'm giving specifically the ghost peanut m&ms yes ghost love peanuts because they're so white it doesn't have to make sense i can't wait to hear what the next one is that paydays are covered in peanuts and ghosts are they like peanuts is that what's your actual reasoning why did you land on this oh i i like them i think they're tasty yeah but why'd you give it to the ghost because he was first first come first up you get if you go to my house you're getting the best candy and unless you come late and then you're getting you know those uh fruity tootsie rolls so we're just getting a reverse ranking out of you you're just going this is just whoever showed up on time it's downhill from here for sure i like peanut m&ms like peanut butter m&ms the correct choice but you actually don't get those on halloween right you don't you do get peanut m&ms i i want to pile on brad and say that he picked the worst candy because yeah but i don't like a butterfinger i do not like butterfingers curtis they're bad patty is a disc of mouth cleaner surrounded in chocolate what are you talking about thing is sometimes i want that that's oh my god that's why we this is why this game is going to be a challenge i never want a butterfinger what are you talking about why top tier it's a top tier candy it's just i don't it's too crunchy you can't even eat too delicious there's so much flavor what am i supposed to do it hurts it hurts to eat it hurts like it's like eating that insulation that pink insulation you might be eating wrong Curt brad who are you voting for i love a good m&m i'm gonna have to go with what is happening you lost you're trying to say that in any scenario a york peppermint patty beats a butterfinger are you out of your fucking minds yes you understand what you're co-opting so in order to get pranked i'm not choosing york peppermint patty obviously i'm choosing m&ms right right but you both chose mine which means that we don't you win i win but we don't have a loser why how did butterfinger clearly lost yeah two people voted for butterfinger do you know what voting is Curt oh no i don't there's actually no way there's no unless we all picked each other's which didn't happen i got confused very confused yeah because you chose york peppermint patty and someone chose it for some fucking reason no here's the problem brad brad did not say he chooses butterfinger than the loser he he said he would rather have the peanut m&ms and so it sounded like he was voting for me and i get with it guess who's coming now it's a witch ryan what are you gonna give the witch disappointment and sadness you're sending her to brad's house i'm sending it apparently to my house tonight i don't know butterfinger loses to york peppermint patty whatever it's normal it makes sense totally tracks i gave the witch a crunch bar runch bar a crunch bar i don't dislike a crunch bar but it feels like the thing you trade for better yeah i think i went for like every year of my life to having a crunch bar like you know once a month once a week whatever like it showed up a lot and then i think i went to middle school i don't know if i've ever seen a crunch bar since i think i really enjoy it gone the way of a chunky i don't even know if they still exist like that's how i've never just like seen one since going to middle school stash is a powerful impulse so you're you're going with the crunch bar i'm gonna give the rich a reese's shaped like a pumpkin oh okay i see reese's also was in the tradable zone because it was so for like i had reese's so frequently and i still sometimes do have reese's like i can draw the taste of a reese's in my head because i had it sometime this year i'm sorry you can draw it yeah mentally like i can draw an elephant probably it probably wouldn't be exactly accurate you know like of course the reese's is great but like i've had it it's it still comes up from time to time i've had better versions tj's has a dark chocolate reese's that's like go get that instead because i'm an adult now it's really good brad i i need to hear yours then oh yeah i mean i don't mess with ghosts so i'm not giving a ghost a good candy i'll give it a well this is a witch i'm not messing with witches i'm gonna give the witch a terrible terrible candy what is happening what is this game i'm gonna give a witch a charleston chew oh i love a charleston chew though do you like a charleston chew i mean i chose butterfinger first round same idea it's like here's a candy that lasts in your mouth for like two years no matter how much you brush it's just there that's why you give it to a witch why do you give it to a witch because you don't want the witch to enjoy it she's a witch i mean it's a good taste it's not like a bad taste it's not a great taste of all the potential risks when when dealing with supernatural creatures i feel like a witch is a pretty dangerous one to cross i don't mess with witches you literally are trying to mess with the witch nah the witch the witch knows what does the witch know i don't even know what i don't even know what you're trying to say at this point not to mess with me so you give them a charleston chew and they know this guy doesn't mess you're messing with the witch though like on purpose i guess no i'm i'm showing my my domineer it's charleston chew skills what the fuck you're doing you're doing what i did not know that a charleston chew was a way to show dominance because the word chew i thought it was a brand of chewing tobacco okay there's like four flavors of charleston chew what do you mean you never had a charleston four flavors yeah there are i think what are the flavors strawberry cherry what is it chewing gum i don't think brad's correct at all well i thought it was a chocolate chocolate surrounded with stuff taffy taffy taffy i don't think it's weird it is kind of it's like a filling all right that one's definitely the loser i don't know what's going on with that but that sounds like that's bad no they're really good Curtis you're the loser ryan's was great crunch crunch yeah i love a good crunch bar ryan's right does it come up should come up more yeah i choose uh i choose brad's charleston chew though i forget what you said Curt it's been like 12 minutes excuse oh shit you know what the benefit to the charleston chew it's just as good as the reese's and i got it for like two more days so i'm doing the chew yeah so Curt lost yeah it has been two rounds that i have not lost no one bet on that that's true well it's tough it's tough luck that you lost those reese's though that seems pretty safe reese's shocking shocking for this to lose this is like the number one candy of all time yeah it feels incorrect it feels like we did well there's always next round when we encounter from the high seas a pirate is that your pirate accent it's a pirate oh uh irish pirate why don't you go first uh well i don't want to fucks with a pirate so he's getting the snickers i still don't get how you guys are approaching this task like are you saying you think that we're we're gonna not incur the wrath of this children dressed as a creature or do you think these creatures are coming to our door i think that when i bought the candy i thought i don't want these kids tricking me and when i sold the costumes i thought oh no well pirate i better get the snickers uh okay so you know what snickers is another one i've grown to appreciate as an adult as a kid is like this is a tradable candy it's useless no i fucking love the snickers interesting i feel like i've always liked the snickers it was never my favorite but as an adult i definitely think it's up there it was always just like the default like it's good but it's always like yeah i'll trade this a lot of money yeah yeah they show up a lot it often depends like is it the fun size is it that nitty like tiny old thing yeah it's that tiny little it's always yeah it's the one biter it's a one biter brad what do you give us so i'm a pirate i'm on the seven seas what you're the pirate what what candy do i want to get what can i give out i would i would clearly give them skittles so they can taste the rainbow okay expand why yeah because because they're so close to the rainbow when they're when they're on their sailboat selling the seven seas not any different distance wise than the rest of us what do you mean well you can see it brighter when you're on the seven seas i'm a seaman i know what do you mean you can see it brighter you just can when i'm on the sea i'll take a picture and send it to you you've never been on the sea i'm a seaman right i don't think you know what the sea is how are you gonna top that oh i mean skills are pretty good yeah thank you i gotta take five bar pirates take what they want i'm gonna throw a flag on this one i hate that this candy bar has so much taste take fives are amazing they are not a halloween candy i ain't nobody selling a bag of take fives for you to give to kids on halloween i thought this through Curt i'm pretty sure i got a take five bar in my last year a couple of them like a little fun size take five bar pretty sure that happened mark market market one second i'm marking and so marked boom i mean it doesn't change my vote i'm saying that that's bullshit at least 40 confidence that i got three tank five bars my last trick-or-treat season so so i can vote next i agree with what Curt has said i don't really think it's a halloween candy but boy do i love to take five they're good they're real good it's just all the things you love in a candy bar i don't get why they all aren't take five bar yeah curtis you lose this round idiot did i vote no but you're going to vote for curtis i mean i can't lose the round until i end the hoots yeah no no one's voted for me because my answer was great i would choose to eat the skittles because as good as the take five is i've always been partial to the the fruit-savored candies yeah yeah you have shit taste what was yours again snickers uh oh back in the day i want to choose skittles as an adult i i appreciate the snickers i'm gonna actually choose snickers i think we're through a time oh wow okay so we each picked a different one which means it's war oh yeah i forgot there's a backer to this because we we've tied we have a we have to play a game of war so i'm going to sign each of you from the magic candy generator i'm going to assign you a candy and then we will decide of those three which is the loser no wait Curt you have to draw one for each of us that you don't tell us what it is and then you have to give us a second one to draw a random extra one that's the one you reveal that's how war works you're actually very right here we go put one down that is hidden and then brad you are getting black licorice yes i thought we're doing candy not medicine love black licorice of course you do ryan i put one down and then i reveal a mary jane fuck is that what is a mary jane terrible it's like i think it's like a caramel but my mom always liked them we would always give them my mom she's the only way to eat them mother of the pod i trust her oh no oh no oh no for myself i i drew one and then i drew one that was revealed yeah he got raisins what do you mean do you mean raisin nets no just raisins what is this you know that house that just gives out fucking raisins like the monsters they are what is the generator you're on what is this it's the magic halloween candy generator raisins aren't candy yeah but if people give them on halloween is this halloween giveaways or is this the halloween candy generator i think curtis had the worst one that time yeah he just got a fruit honestly i'm voting for myself to lose this round raisins are you kidding definitely 100 percent uh now for the record brad your black licorice and hidden you had circus peanuts oh wow circus peanuts are weird yeah they're i know terrible ryan you got mary jane's but what you had hidden were neca wafers oh those are shit yeah those are terrible even with that the worst pulls ever oh i i told it to give only the worst candies the the raisins are really bad but honestly what might be worse is what was hidden i pulled wax lips oh yeah what the fuck is what is that even candy no they're not i don't know what that is two two non candies what is what is a wax lip i think i think they're just what it sounds like i think they're just lips just waxed i don't know if you can eat them i think you suck on you don't want to eat them for sure i just googled i've never seen this in my life they're not great i've seen them before well uh sad as it might be i i have gotten two losses in this game and that means even though we were going to go for four rounds we don't need to because i had lost why can't i lose the next round no no oh yeah i can lose we can have a time all right fine yeah it's so late buck up you two see if you can tie it up and do another war princess what do you got this is lightning round though uh just saying brad uh princess would be a tootsie pop wow ryan i'm sorry i just have to let that sit you chose to see you chose like the candy that you have to throw out because people can just whoa okay them are fighting words i love me a tootsie pop yeah tootsie pops are great ryan what are you pulling oh for a princess box of nerds Curt oh i love nerds so much yeah those are great it's just exciting to get a box right here's like oh here's a whole box of candy for you so good i i think i've had nerds more recently in my life than any of these other candies i don't think they make nerds where do they make nerds why do you know that why do either of you know that last halloween a lot of my co-workers brought leftover halloween candy in and nerds with one of the things that somebody had in a bowl and i was gluttonous an interesting move and i love commercials which just get past that i'm choosing starbursts the two tell me the tell me the colors which colors do you have in yours um well i would love to say like a red and a pink but if i'm being honest it's always like two yellows or some bullshit i read red's a shit flavor i'm team pink and orange yeah i mean yellow is obviously trash well at least we can agree on that there's room for consensus here okay so we got starbursts we've got nerds and we've got whatever brad said tootsie pop oh it's a hard one for me to vote on shit ryan you go you can vote uh starbursts definitely uh tootsie pops the default like candy it's just like oh i guess that's there i guess it's left in the in my bag i gotta go tootsie pop though i i i would rather have that of course you fuck me of course you fucking do you for you mark the fuck out for box of nerds you acted like you forgot they existed you and then said it was the most recent one you had and then still are choosing tootsie pops because you're a plain jane yeah but i've had them recently so it's like i want the thing that i haven't had brad what do you what do you vote nerds are great so i think nerds is the best one wait do we do it again we tied yes we tied oh another war i did it with a tie but there's your three two one whoa brad you pulled bit of honey ryan you've got the tutti fruity tootsie rolls for me i'm get all i'm so excited i know people don't like these but i fucking love them i got smarties i really like smarties people like smarties but it's another one of like the default choices i don't what's a bit of honey i don't know what that is it's like a honey stick essentially like a candy yeah it's crap it's it's the loser i mean i love a honey stick but yeah i'm done i'm going with the real candy all right so bit of honey uh what you had hidden was sugar-free candy oh you were you you earned that all right the complete opposite yeah it's just a description of of candy it's a fruity tootsie rolls uh the thing you had hidden was peanut butter kaffee i couldn't even that's the thing i don't know that's the thing but i wouldn't try it it'd be better than what i got i i pulled strong this round and not only got smarties i also got almond joy oh that was one of my for the game i thought we were playing well i have officially lost and unmercifully i've i've designed this so that this isn't over you now have to prank me please make it break i i have a good prank i would invite you on a podcast and continue to play a game with you even if you were super tired i wouldn't be going to sleep and i would just keep playing the game over and over and over again that does sound like a prank guy let's drag this out let's see what i would do cars for years i would put a balloon over your car every time you had a bad night which isn't the you know like most of them so like six days of the year you'd be like you'd come out you'd be like oh there's a balloon over my car uh and then some it would slowly seep into your subconscious and then eventually you'd be like ah i fucking hate balloons or whatever that does sound bad but is it as bad as what we can expect

prompt item: ghost round sequence: 1 reviewed full source context: trick-or-treaters have specific costumes they sure do the first little kid coming across this this street coming across the street i'm sorry where are we yeah we're in the apartment oh we're in the part i'm sorry we're in the apartment well he's crossing the street to get to the apartment he's entering an apartment that's not how that works you never go into an apartment to trick-or-treat well barriers are no problem for this kid because he's dressed as a ghost fran what are you giving the ghost yeah so i misunderstood the game and thought we came up with our own costumes boy what are you wearing yeah what costume you're wearing for each trick-or-treater you maniac aquaman ew he's already over-engineered and grab that i over-engineered it first no i thought we chose a candy that went connected to a halloween costume but we chose the halloween costume to connect oh you thought we put thought into this yeah i'm sorry what do you think the aquaman candy bar no no so i wrote like where's waddo would eat a payday why what yeah that doesn't make sense no because okay like that was normal because where's waddo is the whitest halloween costume with paydays the whitest candy what yeah only white people eat paydays um do we and then i said transformers or sour patch kids because they transform flavor i would do a lifeguard as an almond joy because you're supposed to feel like you're at the beach when you're eating you wouldn't do it you wouldn't do lifesavers no those are sucky candies you said candy candies can i answer your question now i'm sorry why you why you think almond joys are for life cards because you've never seen the commercial where you eat one and you're on the beach no oh well go go youtube it all right this is a long way of saying a ghost would eat a york peppermint patty ew what yeah why because they're like a similar shape you know like a circle oval what have you ever seen a york peppermint patty and have you ever seen a ghost yeah and if you open up the york peppermint patty it kind of looks like a ghost you're saying the inside is white yeah sure yeah ryan what did you pick wow as fuck you for you brad i am giving the ghost a butterfinger what what about the ghost red butterfinger to you apparently that's part of this ghosts are like ghosts are like slippery you know like they're hard to grasp if you're trying to catch a ghost just like a butterfinger is implying that's slippery because you got butterfinger's also they're fucking delicious candy bar i'm like a york peppermint patty goodness how are you gonna top that one yeah i thought curtis was gonna be bringing shit like york peppermint patties to the party so no no no i i i'm giving this kid a peanut m&ms it's a good choice do you want to know why i'm giving specifically the ghost peanut m&ms yes ghost love peanuts because they're so white it doesn't have to make sense i can't wait to hear what the next one is that paydays are covered in peanuts and ghosts are they like peanuts is that what's your actual reasoning why did you land on this oh i i like them i think they're tasty yeah but why'd you give it to the ghost because he was first first come first up you get if you go to my house you're getting the best candy and unless you come late and then you're getting you know those uh fruity tootsie rolls so we're just getting a reverse ranking out of you you're just going this is just whoever showed up on time it's downhill from here for sure i like peanut m&ms like peanut butter m&ms the correct choice but you actually don't get those on halloween right you don't you do get peanut m&ms i i want to pile on brad and say that he picked the worst candy because yeah but i don't like a butterfinger i do not like butterfingers curtis they're bad patty is a disc of mouth cleaner surrounded in chocolate what are you talking about thing is sometimes i want that that's oh my god that's why we this is why this game is going to be a challenge i never want a butterfinger what are you talking about why top tier it's a top tier candy it's just i don't it's too crunchy you can't even eat too delicious there's so much flavor what am i supposed to do it hurts it hurts to eat it hurts like it's like eating that insulation that pink insulation you might be eating wrong Curt brad who are you voting for i love a good m&m i'm gonna have to go with what is happening you lost you're trying to say that in any scenario a york peppermint patty beats a butterfinger are you out of your fucking minds yes you understand what you're co-opting so in order to get pranked i'm not choosing york peppermint patty obviously i'm choosing m&ms right right but you both chose mine which means that we don't you win i win but we don't have a loser why how did butterfinger clearly lost yeah two people voted for butterfinger do you know what voting is Curt oh no i don't there's actually no way there's no unless we all picked each other's which didn't happen i got confused very confused yeah because you chose york peppermint patty and someone chose it for some fucking reason no here's the problem brad brad did not say he chooses butterfinger than the loser he he said he would rather have the peanut m&ms and so it sounded like he was voting for me and i

prompt item: witch round sequence: 2 reviewed full source context: get with it guess who's coming now it's a witch ryan what are you gonna give the witch disappointment and sadness you're sending her to brad's house i'm sending it apparently to my house tonight i don't know butterfinger loses to york peppermint patty whatever it's normal it makes sense totally tracks i gave the witch a crunch bar runch bar a crunch bar i don't dislike a crunch bar but it feels like the thing you trade for better yeah i think i went for like every year of my life to having a crunch bar like you know once a month once a week whatever like it showed up a lot and then i think i went to middle school i don't know if i've ever seen a crunch bar since i think i really enjoy it gone the way of a chunky i don't even know if they still exist like that's how i've never just like seen one since going to middle school stash is a powerful impulse so you're you're going with the crunch bar i'm gonna give the rich a reese's shaped like a pumpkin oh okay i see reese's also was in the tradable zone because it was so for like i had reese's so frequently and i still sometimes do have reese's like i can draw the taste of a reese's in my head because i had it sometime this year i'm sorry you can draw it yeah mentally like i can draw an elephant probably it probably wouldn't be exactly accurate you know like of course the reese's is great but like i've had it it's it still comes up from time to time i've had better versions tj's has a dark chocolate reese's that's like go get that instead because i'm an adult now it's really good brad i i need to hear yours then oh yeah i mean i don't mess with ghosts so i'm not giving a ghost a good candy i'll give it a well this is a witch i'm not messing with witches i'm gonna give the witch a terrible terrible candy what is happening what is this game i'm gonna give a witch a charleston chew oh i love a charleston chew though do you like a charleston chew i mean i chose butterfinger first round same idea it's like here's a candy that lasts in your mouth for like two years no matter how much you brush it's just there that's why you give it to a witch why do you give it to a witch because you don't want the witch to enjoy it she's a witch i mean it's a good taste it's not like a bad taste it's not a great taste of all the potential risks when when dealing with supernatural creatures i feel like a witch is a pretty dangerous one to cross i don't mess with witches you literally are trying to mess with the witch nah the witch the witch knows what does the witch know i don't even know what i don't even know what you're trying to say at this point not to mess with me so you give them a charleston chew and they know this guy doesn't mess you're messing with the witch though like on purpose i guess no i'm i'm showing my my domineer it's charleston chew skills what the fuck you're doing you're doing what i did not know that a charleston chew was a way to show dominance because the word chew i thought it was a brand of chewing tobacco okay there's like four flavors of charleston chew what do you mean you never had a charleston four flavors yeah there are i think what are the flavors strawberry cherry what is it chewing gum i don't think brad's correct at all well i thought it was a chocolate chocolate surrounded with stuff taffy taffy taffy i don't think it's weird it is kind of it's like a filling all right that one's definitely the loser i don't know what's going on with that but that sounds like that's bad no they're really good Curtis you're the loser ryan's was great crunch crunch yeah i love a good crunch bar ryan's right does it come up should come up more yeah i choose uh i choose brad's charleston chew though i forget what you said Curt it's been like 12 minutes excuse oh shit you know what the benefit to the charleston chew it's just as good as the reese's and i got it for like two more days so i'm doing the chew yeah so Curt lost yeah it has been two rounds that i have not lost no one bet on that that's true well it's tough it's tough luck that you lost those reese's though that seems pretty safe reese's shocking shocking for this to lose this is like the number one candy of all time yeah it feels incorrect it feels like we did
