The RevolYOUtion: October 31, 2025

Cenk Uygur discusses the ghouls of politics on The Young Turks. D
  • 35 minutes
All right, guys, welcome to the revolution. Peaceful, nonviolent revolution. Take back our government from the corrupt donor class that controls it 100%, and the disgustingly corrupt mainstream media that runs cover for them. So I'm going to give you updates today, but it is Halloween, [00:00:16] so let's have a little bit of fun. What I'm going to ask you guys to do is write in with, who you think is the biggest ghoul or goblin in Washington, D.C.. It could be a person. It could be other entities. And then once you've given me a bunch of options, we'll pick the what we [00:00:32] think are a good four kind of to the best of our abilities, a top four. And we'll do a poll on it by the end of the show. You'll know who you guys think is the worst person in this, in Washington on this, frightening Halloween night. [00:00:50] Okay. And then. But as we're doing that, this is a little bit I don't know that it's tougher. But I'm going to ask for this anyway. Let's see how many of you guys write in about it. Which is if we win and we get our government back, and we're not no longer serving Lockheed Martin and ExxonMobil and Pfizer and Israel. [00:01:08] Right. And the government actually works for American citizens, takes care of American citizens. Wouldn't that be amazing? What is the treat that you have? Like, what does it look like to you guys? So the ghoul and goblin is a trick. [00:01:24] The treat is what does America look like after we win and the country is free again? Okay. So as somebody wrote in earlier, from the river to the sea, America will be free. But I'm going to change that a little bit. [00:01:40] I like from shining sea to shining sea. America will be free. So. And, yeah, I believe we are occupied. We're occupied not just by Israel, but also all the other lobbies that I mentioned. They control our politicians nearly 100%. They're almost all corrupt. [00:01:58] And so I'm not interested in their occupation. I don't want a government run by Johnson and Johnson. I want a government run by the American people. Okay. We're going to, of course, have updates for you guys as we go along too. But speaking of updates, we've got a big one for you guys. So going forward, the revolution or the revolution? [00:02:19] Will have a new YouTube channel. Okay, so I'm still doing it live on The Young Turks main channel, right? So, guys, you know, Young Turks is 6 to 8 p.m. Eastern Monday through Friday, right? We do the news for you guys, and then at 8:00, I'm doing this new show, [00:02:35] the revolution or the revolution, as you're about to see. And so that's still going to be live on the main Young Turks channel. And then we often do interviews afterwards. But when we put up the video going forward, we're going to put it on this new channel. [00:02:50] And so let's show you what that is. If we have it, I don't even know if we have it. I might ask for the graphics like, no, we don't have it. So it's at, the so you have to put it in the then revel like as in revolution. [00:03:05] But instead of the you being a single letter, we made it y-o-u. - As in you. - Oh. I don't know how corny. That is, but it's fun. And then, of course, t I o n so the revel. [00:03:21] Okay, so, by the way, why did we do that other than being cutesy and dorks? We did it. Because if you say the revolution, it's like copyright to bejesus. Like everything. Like, then I got to deal with Prince's band, right? But no one has the revolution, so we have that now. [00:03:38] So. And a bunch of you guys have bought up URLs and stuff to help us. Thank you for doing that. I love you guys for doing that. But you're going to see the videos after the fact, live on The Young Turks and afterwards on the new The Revolution channel. Okay. [00:03:53] So now, oh, we're going to ask you one more Halloween thing, and then I'll start to read your comments. The ones you wrote in with new ideas and the ones you're writing in today. So first thing is, we're asking you [00:04:10] to haunt your legislators today. Okay. So how are you going to do that? We already have this tool, a tight, where you can write into your congressman, to your representative. And so ask him to do two things. One is endorse populism. That was so easy because, like, the populist plank is all super popular bills, [00:04:30] even like people faking it or will probably say yes because it'd be absurd to say no. It's like anti war, anti-corruption, lower drug prices, lower housing prices, higher wages. I mean, if a politician goes, no, I want lower wages and higher drug prices. [00:04:45] I'll give them credit for being honest. But anyways, ask them to do this. It should be super simple for them. Right wing or left wing shouldn't matter. Titcombe endorsed populism. And then the second one is titled Drug Prices. So that's the one where we're asking them support O'Connor's bill that took Donald [00:05:04] Trump's executive order verbatim about making sure that we have the same basic, same drug prices as a combination of the other developed nations so that they're American citizens are treated fairly, and we're not at a [00:05:19] huge disadvantage versus other countries. So again, it should be something that both Democrats and Republicans are in favor of. So use the tool if you can. Title drug prices to send your representative a message. Haunt them a little bit. Don't be mean. Just ask them politely to. [00:05:35] But you know what? It's Halloween. Okay, definitely never ever, ever. Anything physical guys or even threats of or talk of anything physical. But you know, let them know otherwise that you'd like lower drug prices and you can't quite understand why they wouldn't. [00:05:53] Is that a weird thing where the congressional people are like, oh, a bill to lower drug prices? Well, where the drug companies would still make an enormous profit, but the Americans would get this would only spend as much as the French, instead of paying four times as much or 20 times as much. No, I want higher drug prices, and that's what almost all of Congress is saying now. [00:06:12] So call their bluff. Call them out. Okay. Again, politely to largely. Okay. All right. So now already before I get to the ideas from today, people have already started, suggesting ghouls and goblins, K Wallace suggests Caroline Leavitt I'm [00:06:31] reading this from our members at Titcomb. She's the white House spokesperson. Sure, I get it. Johnson says anyone who doesn't say Stephen Miller is just wrong. The real question is who's number three after number two, which is Steve Bannon. [00:06:47] Okay. Very strong opinion there. Lou B backs him up and goes Stephen bat boy Miller I'm not saying anything. That's just what they wrote. A kind of dragon, says Mike Johnson. By far, he's a fake Christian. And will this day step closer to expiration date? [00:07:05] By the way, those are our members. We're a left wing populist show, so they're going to name mainly right wingers. And right wingers are in charge now and doing a lot of questionable things. But if you're right wing, libertarian, independent, whatever you are, you want to write in a Democrat, by all means. Okay. Joe says Mike's speaker of the awful guy, speaker of the House. [00:07:25] Awful guy, pseudo dragon, says Jenkins. Just stealing garbage people now it's funny. Yeah, that's John's, segment on, Damage Report, which you should check out every day at 1:00 eastern. Magnetize me. Culture says cyclical. [00:07:40] Oswald Spengler I have no idea what that means, but probably some of you do. Moonshine dragon says ghoul Trump, Stephen Miller, Mike Johnson. So we're putting Stephen Miller on the board as one of the four options, because that's kind of overwhelming. [00:07:56] We'll fill in the other three, The other people you mentioned are in the running. But I don't want to prejudge right now. Okay. So I'll read more of you guys comments from YouTube and all other places we're on Twitch super chat, as we go along too, and we'll fill out the rest. [00:08:12] Okay, so, now, you guys have been doing amazing things because we're crowdsourcing the revolution, and Mark designed a shirt for us. And so, he writes in and his, handle is my political migraine, and it's, Mark Prapotnik. [00:08:29] That's a fun name. Mark. I had this idea for a while and finally got around to designing it. I would love to see you guys sell it on Shop Tight as part of the Free Palestine Collection, and I'm gladly donating the vector file to resize or modify however you'd like. It's the least I could do since pausing my membership because of being unemployed [00:08:45] from the tech industry for over a year. By the way, using Bezos bucks through my mother in law so you guys can get some dough. Well, Mark, you're amazing brother. Thank you, I appreciate that. I mean, look at you looking out for everybody else while you're going through hard times. So. And guys don't worry. The when you go to Titcombe, he doesn't have to pay for it. [00:09:04] His mother in law doesn't have to pay for it. That's if you already have Amazon Prime. You could send us $5 a month from Jeff Bezos's pocket. To us, it takes about 30s. Prime doesn't cost you anything. So I appreciate you, Mark. But anyway, let's show you his design. So it's, says Palestine occupies my heart. [00:09:23] It's got the Palestinian flag, kind of in the shape of a heart. Love it. So I'll talk to the thugs at shop Titcombe to see if we could add that to the collection. If you like the shirt, let us know. If you're interested in buying this shirt, let us know again. [00:09:40] The proceeds go to the Palestine Children's Relief Fund. Doesn't go to us as part of Free Palestine collection there. But beautiful. Beautiful. I'm going to tell you a real quick story, guys, that I actually found out recently. I didn't know this and felt a little embarrassed that I didn't know this. You know, the sign for the Palestinians is watermelon [00:09:57] And people often use the watermelon emoji to represent Palestinians. So I knew that. Of course, a lot of you know that. But what I didn't know is why. So it turns out that the Israelis, in their brutal occupation of the West Bank and Gaza Strip, had banned the Palestinian flag. [00:10:14] And if anybody put up the Palestinian flag, they would arrest them and oftentimes torture them, beat them and sometimes kill them. So then Palestinian artists started doing this super cool thing where they would start painting in the colors of the Palestinian flag. [00:10:30] So white, black, red and green, but predominantly black, red and green. And so eventually the Israelis, figured that out, and they started destroying all of the art. And they said, if you paint in black, red and green will arrest you [00:10:46] and maybe kill you, etc., right? So then as they were destroying one of the art galleries, one of the Israeli commanders Said, if you so much as draw a watermelon will come and bury you. [00:11:03] And the Palestinians took that on as their symbol. Why, they said, it's okay. Bury us. What you don't realize is we're seeds. We're just going to grow and there's going to be more of us and we're never going to surrender to you. [00:11:19] So it's a beautiful story. And and that's why watermelon is their symbol. And so for those of you who have grown up with mainstream media propaganda, for Israel, and they've brainwashed the whole country on behalf of Israel, [00:11:36] you never heard those stories, did you? Growing up, did you ever hear in ABC or CBS or any of these stations or CNN? Oh, yeah. The Israelis will brutalize you if you even draw the colors of the Palestinian flag in a different painting that they're smashing. [00:11:52] Artists, you know, work and they won't allow you to do anything that represents your own people because they despise the Palestinians. The idea for them of a Palestinian being free. I saw a video today of some lunatic pro-Israel radical. [00:12:08] I mean, they look like normal people, right? They both look like they're wealthy, women from, you know, some urban environment, I don't know. I only say urban, like New York, LA, some sort of like they looked upper class. Bottom line. Right. So my point is, they look normal. They look like they're regular Americans. [00:12:27] And they started talking about how we might have to flee and run for our lives here as Jewish Americans. Like what they in their lunatic mind, they really believe they're like they're the biggest victims in the world. And they have no power in America. No. If you're pro-Israel. [00:12:43] Oh, you're besieged. You're the victim. I mean, it's maniacal. Okay. But okay. But that's not why I brought it up. That's normal. In the middle of their little spiel, they said, I can't believe it. They're now allowing people to say Free Palestine. [00:13:03] And they're like, that's so anti-Semitic. So wait, freeing another people is anti-Semitic. I mean, their bigotry knows no bounds. And that's why one of the first projects we started here is, the kids of Palestine. [00:13:20] Kids of Palestine. That one already exists. And I went to it the other day. And there's this beautiful, you know, can we pull it up? I don't know if we can pull it up. This is precious little girl. And then I saw her picture. This is kind of. That was the point of what we were trying to do. [00:13:36] Please don't send our money hard earned American taxpayer dollars to go kill these kids. It's disgusting. Right? And can we please free America from this control over this tyrannical, ludicrous Israeli government? [00:13:52] So, anyway, and we do Kids of Palestine because like I said, we don't want our money going to that and I. And it's one thing to say 20,000 kids have been killed by Israel. It's another thing to show you the kids and for you to see it and go, oh my God, [00:14:09] what did they do to that poor girl? Right now we do. One of the campaigns we're doing is free our hashtag free our child, because Marco Rubio won't tell the Israelis to give us back a 16 year old American kid from Florida. [00:14:25] They basically kidnaped him. He's lost 30% of his weight. He's in disastrous shape. He might die in that prison. They said that he looked at someone else throwing a stone. That's a crime. Well, but the Israeli soldiers, they say they have witnesses. [00:14:40] Well, those witnesses also. Someone throw a stone. Are they in an Israeli gulag now? No. They're beloved, cherished Israeli citizens. They're allowed to do anything they like. That was a useless American citizen. Now They'll send their American away and Rubio won't even ask for him back. [00:14:57] He's like, no, no, I don't care. He's just an American. It's sick man. It's disgusting. So hashtag free your child. All right. There it is. So they've started adding more and more kids. I remember when the first 3 or 4 got put up there. [00:15:12] And Mohammed Ibrahim is up there. He's from the West Bank. Most of those are kids that died in Gaza. Go to kids of palestine.com. See if you can stomach clicking on 2 or 3 pictures and reading their stories. What do you. [00:15:28] They take money out of your check every week to send over to Israel to commit these atrocities. So there's Mohammed Ibrahim and by the way, you can share on social media. We didn't build this. You guys built this. This is what crowdsourcing looks like. So I know we got some updates from Arpan. [00:15:44] Oh, he says so Arpan, is helping with corruption. Watch us. Which is about tracking all of our legislators and all their bills and all of their donors. And he said, so Kids of Palestine is already up, but Corruption Watch [00:16:00] Us is probably going to go live over the weekend, if not by Monday, and we'll certainly tell you about it. So make sure you're checking out that as well. And oh, by the way, we got you guys asked us to to reach out to Palestine Children's Relief Fund. [00:16:16] And we did. And next week they're going to start partnering with us on Kids of Palestine. I also asked care that's the largest, Muslim American civil rights group, and to see if they can help and put up more kids. [00:16:31] So I love all the beautiful work you guys are doing. Okay, more people are going to come back to more ideas and progress, but, more people have written in with, potential folks, that are ghouls and goblins on Twitch. [00:16:46] Broken Wing Dragon says Ted Cruz could qualify as some kind of nasty amoeba on a flea. I'm taking that as a nomination for Ted Cruz. BB junkie says, are we only choosing ghouls from us? I would choose Benjamin Netanyahu if we're choosing from outside the US. [00:17:03] Well, I said in Washington, DC, and I don't know anyone more relevant in Washington than Benjamin Netanyahu. I mean, he runs the place. So I guess I'll accept that as a possibility for ghoul and Goblin. Next TT reporter says he's less ghoulish now, but he's [00:17:19] the ghoul that got us to where we are. I'm voting Mitch McConnell. Christopher Richard, writes in not a fan of Pam Bondi, Lindsey Graham Schumer or AOC. Hard to say who's the worst. That's an interesting group of people to be against, right? [00:17:36] Look at how we've got political realignment all over the place. The four people he named as the bad guys are Pam Bondi, Lindsey Graham, Chuck Schumer and AOC. Before, you never had that. Everybody was in their camps. Bonnie Lambrecht says they're all ghouls, but the worst is Miller and Vaught. [00:17:55] Vaught is the guy running project 2025. Oscar Sevilla writes, and I'm an independent. I'll add Cory Booker and AIPAC Shakur. It's hard not to put AIPAC in there. So that's not AIPAC as in the lobby. That's Charlamagne Tha God's nickname for Hakeem Jeffries. [00:18:13] So all right, we got I'll add one more almost. We're going to run out of time here. I'll add Mitch McConnell. He's been mentioned a couple of times. So now we have for sure Stephen Miller and Mitch McConnell. We'll find two more and then vote. Okay. [00:18:29] So keep on writing in on twitter.com, on YouTube, on Super Chat, on Twitch, wherever you can. All right. More updates. And by the way, at the end for the members, I'm going to do a bonus episode for you guys. I'll tell fun Halloween stories. Okay. [00:18:45] So, Liberty isn't free. Propose a URL for us saying, I wonder if it would help to have a Revolution as a catch all landing page which can house all the different sites. Related to this initiative. It would also help when trying to socialize to others. [00:19:00] You're right, we're throwing a lot of URLs at you, right? So we say the main one that we organize around is title. But we'll consider this and we'll get back to you next week. Good thinking I love it. Eclectic, wants to call out groups that are targeting other people. [00:19:17] So he wrote in call out pro-Israel groups like Canary Mission who are targeting hosts and others who dare speak out against Israel's genocide, gather information about them without doxing anyone to expose what they're doing to harass and ruin people's lives. [00:19:32] This could be via social media posts, a segment on air, a website, or part of a website. I can help it probably would be best to crowdsource or for someone else to take the lead. People will find out that Israel supporters are using terrorism to support a terrorist regime. They are not the victims. They are terrorizing people who are standing up for the victims. [00:19:50] So I kind of love that idea, with the heavy caveat of do not do what Canary Mission does. Don't dox people, don't put out their home addresses, don't do any of that. Okay, but if one of you has a good idea on how to organize outing the Canary Mission [00:20:08] people because I don't know who they are, they keep smearing everyone. They've smeared Anna, me, just about everyone who opposes Israel as anti-Semites. And what they do is they then rile up a bunch of people thinking that we're anti-Jewish. And and then the most radical of the Israeli crowd that follows Canary Mission, [00:20:26] then threatens to murder people, stalks them, and do all sorts of disgusting things to terrorize American citizens who are criticizing Israel. So who are they? Who's Canary mission? No one in media looks because they're like. Oh no, beloved Israel, we serve you loyally. [00:20:44] Canary mission. You're free to do anything you want. Terrorize Americans at will. No, you're not the problem. The people you're trying to terrorize are the problem. They're therefore, against genocide. How terrible and disgusting. Beautiful canary mission. No one find out about them. No. Canary mission is a disgusting organization and I would love to know [00:21:01] who's running it and who's funding it. So don't make anything public yet, like I said, because. There might be good people who are working there accidentally or something, I don't know. So I don't know how we're going to find it, and I don't know [00:21:17] how we're going to out it, but why do we have to crowdsource media? But because mainstream media that has billions and billions of dollars will never, ever look into Israel's crimes, their crimes here, and trying to control all of us through politics and media, etc.. [00:21:34] So we got to do it ourselves, and we don't have the billions of dollars that mainstream media does. So. But we have you guys. And so look at all the amazing things you've already created. So if you could some of you guys out there can tell us how to crowdsource this so that we could find out who's funding Canary mission [00:21:50] to terrorize Americans opposed to Israel. That would be amazing. All right, Roger, thank you for joining, tight TMB. You as well. You guys are amazing. We love you for it. So let me see if I've got any other candidates. [00:22:07] Other. Because we got to do the, the poll here. All right. So what I'm going to do is, I'll put Chuck Schumer as the Democrat because a couple of you guys, mentioned him, and then somebody mentioned Steve Bannon. And I think it's tough not to put Steve Bannon there. Interestingly, Trump didn't make it. He only got one vote. [00:22:24] And Ted Cruz only got one vote. So let's do the poll as quickly as we can on the live chat. So your options are Stephen Miller, Stephen Bannon, Chuck Schumer and Mitch McConnell. Okay. So who's the biggest ghoul or goblin in DC? You know, I didn't want to put Netanyahu in there. [00:22:41] It's a perfectly good choice. But he got one vote, in this really quick live thing that we're doing here. And plus that it's too easy. I mean, who doesn't despise Benjamin Netanyahu? Oh, right. All of American media and all American politicians. [00:22:57] The rest of the world like Benjamin Netanyahu. But America. Everybody in Washington is like. Oh, Benjamin Netanyahu. I told you earlier today, somebody wrote an article saying like, can you believe how anti-Semitic Mamdani is? [00:23:14] He wants to arrest Netanyahu just for the crime of genocide. What's the big deal? They don't even realize how bigoted they are. Okay. All right. Cicero wrote in in response to Eclectics post about Canary Mission. [00:23:30] This sounds like a really good idea. Would you have any interest in finding volunteers to get some of that information, at least at some point in the future? Yes, Cicero, we're definitely interested. By the way, these are title ideas, and so eclectic comes up with the Canary mission idea. And Cicero responds and you could all respond underneath. [00:23:47] And that's a place where we collect those ideas is and how to work on those ideas. So that's title ideas. I'm going to read one last one here as we're running out of time. So my idea is difficult. And this is from Delbert about, the boycott, [00:24:03] Divestment and Sanctions movement. So my idea is difficult and we need a lot of help. I think I have a way we can stop states and even the federal government from passing laws preventing BDS. The Supreme Court has already ruled that money is protected speech under the First Amendment. How can a local or federal government then say how you can spend money [00:24:18] in a political way? So it would appear to me that any law preventing divestment would be unconstitutional. On its face, he's got more. But hold on, let me just stop there. Delbert. That's a terrific idea and point. In fact, if I'm going to ask, Larry, Larry Lessig, who's one of the top [00:24:36] constitutional law professors and scholars and campaign finance reform experts in the country. Yeah. Wait a minute. How can they possibly, pass these BDS laws punishing speech, which actually is speech. First of all, it's a massive core First Amendment violation. [00:24:55] But also given Citizens United where they say you can give infinite bribes to politicians and that's just speech. So, okay, I'm speaking and acting with my dollars to divest from Israel. Like, no, you're not allowed to do that. [00:25:11] You're not allowed to think that you're not allowed to use your money doing that. Remember, First Amendment asterisks, unless you're criticizing Israel, in which case we'll eliminate you from the national conversation and ruin your life. Okay, the last part of the message was multiple rulings have been made [00:25:28] protecting money as speech. So would that not be enough precedent to overturn these BDS laws? No. The only way that we can stop Israel in this genocide is to hurt them financially. Hopefully a lawyer sees this and can shed more light or insight on this topic. This is definitely a long shot, but I would be willing to try anything [00:25:43] to stop the genocide. I love that brother. Thank you. And by the way, Yeah, this would hurt Israel financially. And that's why you notice that they're not passing laws at the state level on other criticism of Israel. [00:26:00] This, that the other thing. But when it comes to economically boycotting Israel, over 30 American states said, forget Florida, forget whichever state I'm in. I don't care about our citizens at all. We, as the legislators of this state, are here to loyally serve Israel. [00:26:17] So they pass a law banning you from boycotting Israel. And if you do, they take away your government contracts, they take away your livelihood and destroy American citizens that have legitimate critique of Israel. So. Do I want to hurt Israel financially for the genocide that they've done? [00:26:36] So they will stop the genocide? Of course I do. Any decent moral person would want to. But the Israelis are like, that's so anti-Semitic just because we took away their lives. You want to take away our money? No. That's the most evil, immoral thing you could do is to take Israeli money. [00:26:55] You're not allowed to do that. Ban the Americans. And they have in 30 different states have banned Americans from criticizing Israel. If you do it in Romania, the Turkish PhD student that was arrested at Tufts, she had written an op ed [00:27:12] in favor of boycotting, divesting and sanctioning Israel. They're like, how dare you suggest something perfectly normal? You're under arrest. We're going to deport you on behalf of Israel. By the way, Israel doesn't control America. Okay, so do we have a winner? [00:27:28] Others wrote in Ben-Gvir. But that's too much. That's not DC, that's Jerusalem and Tel Aviv. Oh, there we are. Okay. Oh, Stephen Miller in a landslide, man. Bannon's got to be embarrassed at at 5%. Schumer got 6%. I represented McConnell [00:27:44] still hanging in there with 12%, but man, overwhelming Winner. First time Stephen Miller has ever won anything. Congrats, Stephen. Oh, no. Are you going to deport me for saying that? Are you going to denaturalize me? Oh, no. A poll showed that people don't like Stephen Miller. [00:28:00] They think he's a ghoul and a goblin. That's it. We're going to denaturalize you and deport you. How dare you criticize the Millers? Don't you know the Millers are the elites in this country? They're the nobles, the nobility, the lords and ladies. [00:28:17] Wait, wait. What is Karen Miller or Katie Miller? Whatever her name is, what does she have to do with the government? She's not in the government. Yes, but she's married to one of the Lords in the Trump administration and working for Israel. [00:28:32] So you have offended her. You will now be banished on behalf of the Millers and Israel, said the guys who are for America first. Okay, now the Millers have two reasons to ban me. Thanks a lot, guys, I appreciate it. Okay. [00:28:47] We didn't get any of the treats. Sorry we ran out of time. But you know what? I'll give you guys a treat in the bonus episode for the members. So I'll tell you two Halloween stories from my past. A little slightly heartwarming. I hope you like them. I've told bad stories about Halloween in the past. Oh, you know what? I'll throw in a third story because we skipped a bunch of bonus episodes today. [00:29:06] I'll make it quick. Members, we love you guys. Thank you for making all this possible. So if you want to be a member, you hit the join button below on YouTube or anywhere else. So we'll go to members only now. Love you guys. Happy Halloween. [00:29:21] And we're in the members only section. Man, that's amazing how that happens. This whole not taking a break thing going to members only is tripping me out. Okay, so three Halloween stories for the price of one. One is one you've heard before. We'll start with that one. Some of you have heard it, of course. Most of you haven't. [00:29:37] So I come to this country, don't know what Halloween is. We, we get to. So we came in the very end of December in 1978. So my first Halloween's in October of 79. God, I'm old anyways. And, I don't know what this Halloween thing is. [00:29:54] We didn't have Halloween in Turkey, and I'm like, so what is Halloween? And they're like, it's a holiday where you get dressed up as different things. I'm like, oh, that could be fun. Okay. Got you. And then what happens then you go to other people's houses. I'm like, oh. [00:30:10] And I felt like, well, in the old days in Turkey, we'd go to people's houses and. And you, by the way, there is a muslim holiday where you get candy. So it's not that crazy, but it was kind of shitty candy, to be honest. There was no Twix bars or anything like that. [00:30:26] Simple little candy. But. But then we go to the family's houses and we get bored to death, like at the great uncle's house, the great aunt's house, etc.. I'm like, all right, go to people's houses. So when we go to people's houses, how long do we say they're like, no, no, you don't stay at all. You just knock on the door and then they give you free candy. [00:30:44] I'm like, where's the catch? Like, this country's too good. They have a holiday where they just go to everybody. Just give me your candy. And then they give it to you. That's amazing. So then, my one of my best friends, Kennan, his mom, Lisa, was an angel, [00:31:01] and she knows I don't know what I'm doing. I don't know how to get a Halloween outfit, and my parents don't know either. So she makes me an entire Halloween outfit. And it's the one I described before where it's the the prisoner with the. Oh, well, it might be fitting soon with the Millers, but anyways, the pinstripes, [00:31:20] prisoner suit, a little ball and chain made out of paper mache. And and a little hat, too, with the stripes. And I got to tell you, as a little nine year old kid, I was super proud of that outfit. [00:31:36] And I was so proud that I fit in because imagine you're a nine year old immigrant kid. You barely speak English, and you don't know what the hell is going on. And this angel of a woman makes an outfit for you so you fit in, and then I, I forget, I think I came in second. [00:31:51] I know I didn't win and I knew I'm, I was in the top three. I think I came in second. So I won an award at the school for best outfit. I was ecstatic, ecstatic. So there's, there's a they're they're real angels in the world. And Lisa was one of them. So that's story number one. [00:32:08] And I had the greatest time. And it's another reason why I love this country. First Halloween was phenomenal. Unbelievable. Second Halloween, same thing. And on and on. So then Halloween story about football [00:32:24] was so now I'm in high school and, we had a practice the I mean, Mischief Night. Yeah, we had a that's weird. We had a practice before the game. That's unusual. Oh, maybe because it was a JV game. [00:32:39] I don't remember the details now, but I'm pretty sure the day before we had a practice and it was, like, eerie. The cloud cover came in, so it was like a fog. And then I at some point I fell [00:32:55] and there was a rock, and it cut my hand and it was like this huge scar on my hand, which I still have. John. I'll show you afterwards. It's kind of. Okay. Can you guys see it? No, of course not. Don't be ridiculous. You can't see it from there. But, But if you look at it, you go, oh my God. Yeah, that's that giant scar right there. [00:33:11] And so that was on Mischief Night, like a rock tour, right? So then on Halloween, we. And I forget if I'm combining two different stories. But anyway, on Halloween, we had a. Yeah, this is definitely two different stories. We had a, a game on Halloween night. [00:33:28] So this giant scar, we had a game on Halloween night, we kicked ass. And I don't know, I just I love every part of this country. So I thought that was so cool that I had this cool scar on a Halloween game, and we murdered the other guys. [00:33:45] So, you know, I told you this story a couple of times. We got bagels thrown at us because our school was like half Jewish. And somebody asked me some random question today online on X, and I told that story a little bit and I said, but since we were an excellent team, we took those bagels [00:34:01] and shoved it down their throats. Okay. So I look, I'm a barbarian. That's one thing that, Randy finds slightly right about. And so I loved playing middle linebacker, and so I liked that I had a wound as we were playing. I liked that it was on Halloween. [00:34:18] I think the other story related to football was, one time I didn't have any time after practice to go and get an outfit, so I just stayed in my football uniform. A bunch of us did like 3 or 4 of us did, and we went trick or treating in the neighborhood near our high school. [00:34:34] But then I realized, wait, we're in high school. So there's like a Curb Your Enthusiasm episode about this bunch of like, I don't remember if it were 16 or 17, whatever. We were these giant guys. One of them was a lineman. Huge. Go, trick or treat. And we're in our actual uniforms with actual dirt on us. [00:34:53] And we collected the candy in our helmets. Come on, that's kind of fun. That's kind of fun. Then there were the hookup stories later when we became grown ups on Halloween. But I probably shouldn't tell those, so. [00:35:08] Okay, last thing, guys, one of the reasons I love Halloween is it's because it's perfect for everyone. When you're a kid, you love it when you're single and you go to Halloween parties, those are the best. But again, those are the stories I can't tell you. [00:35:23] So that's awesome. And then when you're a parent and your kids are excited about dressing up and going out and getting candy and stuff, that's also awesome. So winners all around. Speaking of which, I got to go trick or treating with my kids right now. So I love you guys. We'll see you on Monday. [00:35:39] Have a great day! Every time you ring the bell below, an angel gets his wings. Totally not true, but it does keep you updated on our live shows.
