Today we're talking all about Halloween.
-
-I want to suck your blood. -Really? JR, is this how you're going to host today?
-
Let's talk about that Vid!
-
-Welcome to VidTalk on VoiceTube TV. -JR, stop, please.
-
-I'm JR. -I'm Ray, and today we're going to talk about Halloween!
-
The reason why is because, it's coming up, right? When is it?
-
-It's actually this Saturday. Every October the 31st. -That's right.
-
Halloween is coming up, so we're talking about it and it's a very beloved holiday, but when we think about holiday, what do you think of, when you think about Halloween?
-
Well, of course I think about candy and trick-or-treating, those childhood memories.
-
-Yeah, well for me, I think of more... costumes. -So you're a cosplayer?
-
-No, I like watching people cosplay. -That is fun!
-
I don't dress up, I watch people dress up.
-
And also for some reason, we think of monsters.
-
Monsters, witches, werewolves, Dracula.
-
-I want to suck your blood. -JR, stop, please.
-
-That's JR's very bad impression of Dracula. -I just couldn't help it, it's like the werewolf seeing a full moon.
-
Ok, so what comes to your mind when we talk about Halloween? Candies, costumes, monsters?
-
-Trick-or-treating. -That's right.
-
But, JR, do you know the origin of Halloween?
-
You know, come to think of it, I really don't know.
-
So, let me fill you guys in on the origin of the holiday, Halloween.
-
The origin of Halloween actually comes from another holiday called "All Hallows Day" also referred to as "All Saints' Day."
-
It takes place on November 1st, so Halloween comes one day before that.
-
So Halloween is actually short for "All Hallows Eve", like Christmas Eve, Hallows Eve.
-
Now, on Halloween, people believe that ghosts will come and roam the Earth.
-
That is why they dress up as ghosts, so that they would be recognized as a fellow ghost to the other ghost,
-
instead of being a regular human being.
-
And that is the origin of Halloween.
-
JR... why? You know, I have so many questions right now.
-
First of all, where did you get that bar?
-
Second of all, why are you even eating on the show?
-
You know, well, it's Halloween, so I just went trick-or-treating in the office, and Richard (CEO of VoiceTube) gave me this.
-
Did you even listen to a word that I was saying about the origin of Halloween?
-
Well, we got it on camera, we can always go back and watch it.
-
-You're going to publish it on Thursday night anyways right? -Unbelievable, unbelievable.
-
Ok, let me make it up to you, I got a game.
-
You know, I'd rather you give me your candy.
-
No! But, if you win the game, I'll give you this.
-
Where did you even get that one!?
-
-Well, Johnny (COO of VoiceTube) gave it to me. -Unbelievable.
-
-Ok, if you win the game, I'll give you this bar. -Ok, ok, you're on.
-
Game on! If Ray wins the game, he will get this chocolate bar. Game on! Fact or Fake!
-
Now it's time for Fact or Fake and here are the rules for this game.
-
-I'm gonna ask five questions and out of these five questions, some of them are real, some of them are made up by me, and we're gonna ask Ray. -Ok.
-
-And Ray is gonna tell us if it's a fact or fake. -Like total BS (bullshit).
-
Yeah. So, Fact or Fake is an easy game to play.
-
I'm going to ask Ray five questions, and some of them are true, some of them are made up by JR.
-
And Ray has to decide whether it's true or not.
-
-Fact or Fake, it's just as easy as that. -Ok.
-
And if you get three out of five at least, three out of five, I will give you this candy bar as I promised.
-
Ok, sounds good.
-
-But if you lose, you're going to have to buy me another one. -What!? Did you just made that up? Can I back out now?
-
What! When did that happen?
-
-It's my game. I make up the rules! -Ok, whatever. Yeah, I'm in. I'm in.
-
Alright, ok, so five questions and here is the first question.
-
-Let's go into my computer laptop right here. -Ok.
-
And this is gonna be a lot of fun.
-
-Ok, Ray, no peeking. -Ok, no peeking.
-
First question: Halloween is the second highest grossing commercial holiday after Christmas we all know that,
-
according to Time Magazine, Americans will spend nearly 7 billion USD in total on Halloween.
-
-However, -That's a lot of money. -on the total, parents will spend more money on candy than costumes.
-
-Parents spend more money on candy than costumes, so candy and costumes. -Right.
-
This means parents in the US will spend more money on candy than on costumes.
-
Ok, so what I think, I'm gonna go with candy more.
-
-I think it's true. -You think it's true.
-
-Because the reason is this: because parents they don't only have to buy for their own kids. -Right.
-
Because a lot of kids come trick-or-treating, so they need to prepare a lot of candy to hand out to these kids.
-
-But for costumes, they only need to buy for their own children. -That's true.
-
-So I'm thinking, maybe, they will be spending more money, because of the quantity on candy. -Ok.
-
-So, I'm gonna go with true. Fact! -So, Ray you made a very good point. A very very good point, but it's wrong!
-
-What? What!? -Yes, it's fake! -It's not candy?
-
-It's actually the other way around, it's actually costumes. -It's costumes?
-
-Cause costumes cost a lot more money than candy, considering the fact. -Right, right. Ok.
-
Yeah, so costumes in total in America, they spend up to like 2.5 billion USD, while candies spend up to around 2.1 billion.
-
-That's, that's still approximate, that is still... -I know, that's a tricky game right? Yeah.
-
-Ok, ok, fine. -Alright, that's the first question and I win for the first question. Ok, that's a big X.
-
Second question right here for Ray and everybody who is playing with us.
-
Among all the candies children get on Halloween, Snickers are the most favorite candy.
-
-Why is it...? Why is everything related to candy? -True or false?
-
-Are all five questions about candy? -Because I like candy.
-
Snickers. I don't know if Snickers is that big of a deal in the United States.
-
-I think Mars, they're like... -Mars bars?
-
-Yeah, I don't know... -You know, Mars are big too.
-
-And Snickers? I'm thinking now, you like Snickers a lot -I like Snickers a lot, that's true.
-
So I'm thinking this is a personal preference, I would say Snickers is JR's favorite candy on Halloween, not the United States.
-
So I'm going to go with fake.
-
-So you're going to go with fake? -Yeah, fake.
-
How 'bout you guys in front of the... your laptop or your mobile device?
-
The answer is... it is true!
-
-What!? True!? -Yay!
-
-Snickers are very popular in America. -What!?
-
What's wrong with you? Like Snickers, yes, Reese's and Snickers are the most popular candy on Halloween.
-
And among all the candy categories, chocolate is actually voted, like, 70% the most favored candies.
-
-But out of all the chocolates, Snickers come up on top? -Yeah, Snickers and Reese's come out at the number one.
-
-Ok, fine. -At the top.
-
-I got two wrong. -Yeah, I got two already.
-
-Yeah, you can't afford to lose another question, cause you'll get eliminated. -Ok, ok. Alright.
-
You're going to have to buy me a candy bar.
-
-Ok bring it on! -Ok, question number three:
-
Children are more than twice as likely to be involved in a pedestrian car accident on Halloween than any other night of the year.
-
So on Halloween night, kids are more likely to get into a car accident than any other time of the year.
-
-True or false? -That's so sad, but I think it has a ring of truth to it, you know why?
-
Because on Halloween people, they need to dress up, in bulky costumes,
-
so that makes it hard for them to move around.
-
Second of all, they need to go out at night, door to door, to go trick-or-treating.
-
-So, I'm gonna go with true. -You sure?
-
-Yeah, because... -You have to consider the fact that there's a lot of holidays, a lot of festivals out there. Christmas, Christmas Eve...
-
-But you don't dress up as a ghost and go door to door for candy at night. -That's true, that's true.
-
People might shoot you for that.
-
-I'm gonna go with true. -You're gonna go with true?
-
-Yeah. Yeah. -True? Sure?
-
-Dang! You're right! -Yes, finally! Ok, good, good.
-
-One point for me. Sorry kids. -Alright, two to one right now.
-
-Stay indoors on Halloween. Don't get in to car accidents. -Yeah.
-
What you want to take away from this is, you got to be careful when you're trick-or-treating.
-
You have to be careful when you're trick-or-treating.
-
Alright?
-
-Ok so here is the forth... -I feel good about this.
-
-We got two more questions. Two to one, JR is two, Ray is one. -Ok. ok.
-
Forth question: Last year, the world's largest pumpkin weighed 478 kilograms.
-
-That's a lot, that's like eight of me, that's really heavy. -Yeah.
-
But it's also very specific, 478.
-
If you made that up, I would think, you won't be so precise, down to the last digit.
-
-478. -You know, I'm a smart person.
-
You have to consider the fact that I'm smart.
-
You remember the last time you tried to prank me on my birthday?
-
-You guys were totally fooled? -Yeah, it didn't work.
-
-Ok. 478. Ok, then I'm gonna go with fake. -Fake?
-
-I'm gonna go with fake. -Fake? Are you sure?
-
-Yes. -Fake? And the answer is... true! YAY!
-
I'm sorry it's fake. Man... I lost.
-
-So, I won? It's not true? Oh good! I got two points! -It's fake.
-
-Ok, good, good, good. -Oh man, I feel bad!
-
-So it's not 478? Is it more or less? -It's actually more.
-
-More? Really? -It's even twice more than that!
-
So, what's the weight?
-
So, last year the world's largest pumpkin weighed, it was actually grown in Switzerland,
-
by this guy called Beni Meier, I hope I pronounced it right by the way, it weighed 1054 kilograms.
-
-Wow! That is gigantic. -A gigantic pumpkin that is 1054 kilograms.
-
-Wow! That is unbelievable. -Oh man, for a minute I thought I got you there.
-
-Ok, so it's now two to two. -Ok! Two to two. Ok! It's like take all or leave all.
-
-Finally, also this game is getting really exciting. -Right, all down to this one last question.
-
-Okay, the candy bar is at stake now, and the last question is...
-
-Number five: In 1970, a five-year-old boy, Kevin Toston, allegedly ate Halloween candy laced with heroin. -What?
-
At least he got a high on Halloween.
-
Investigators later discovered the heroin belong to the boy's uncle and was not intended for Halloween candy.
-
-That question, it's even more specific than the last one. -Fact or Fake?
-
-You got the year, you got the name, you got the heroin, you got the candy, you got the uncle. -Yeah, yeah, yeah.
-
-It's a very complete and complicated complex story -Yes, still consider the fact that I'm a smart person.
-
I don't think you are able to come up with so precise a story.
-
-I'm gonna go with true on this one. -You're going to go with true on this?
-
I'm gonna go with true, yeah.
-
How 'bout you guys, true or false?
-
-Heroin candy... -In 1970, there was a boy who ate heroin Halloween candy on Halloween.
-
What kind of story? Why did you even make that a question?
-
-You know, it's beyond me. -Okay, so the answer is... it's true!
-
-Yes! I got three questions. -You totally turned the table. Oh...
-
-I thought I lost it there. I got the first two wrong. -Oh man.
-
-I feel bad now. Now I have to give you the candy. -Yeah.
-
-Next Halloween. -What!?
-
Ok, never mind.
-
Ok, so, next part, we're going to watch...
-
so, it's still VidTalk, we're going to give you a video and today the video is...
-
-Do you know Jimmy Kimmel? -Yeah, I love that guy, Jimmy Kimmel is such a humorous guy.
-
Jimmy Kimmel, every year, he asks parents to tell their kids
-
they ate all their Halloween candy.
-
So, here's the video, check it out.
-
It's time now for our beloved holiday tradition:
-
Hey Jimmy Kimmel, I told my kids I ate all their Halloween candy.
-
Last night I ate all your candy.
-
Why?
-
Cause it was good.
-
You've ruined my life.
-
Hey we ate it all while you were sleeping.
-
No!!!
-
Hello kids, I've got something to tell you.
-
What?
-
Mommy and daddy ate all your Halloween candy while...
-
F*ck you! Mother***!
-
I ate all your candy.
-
That's ok.
-
-That kid was really sweet. -Yeah, that was sweet.
-
-Compared to the kids before that. -Yeah, before that, swearing.
-
That was hilarious. I love this series.
-
Jimmy Kimmel has been doing it for years already.
-
-In 2012, 2013, and 2014, I hope he does it this year. -Yeah, I hope so too. It's so fun.
-
It's so hilarious. I really would like to see these kids getting pranked and their reaction and all that.
-
What you can take away from this is, if you're a parent and you want to do this to your kids,
-
remember to bring a camera.
-
And remember to filter it too.
-
-Because nowadays kids know a lot of bad language, more than you think. -That's true.
-
So, it's still VidTalk. We're going to bring you our challenge of the week.
-
Again, as usual, we pick a sentence from the video,
-
and we want you to make a sentence out of a particular word and today, our sentence is:
-
"Last night we ate all your candy. Why? Because it was good. You've ruined my life."
-
-I'm still picturing it in my head. -Yeah, it's so dramatic.
-
That kid. You've ruined my life!
-
So, we're going to look at the word "ruin", what is the definition of "ruin", JR?
-
"Ruin" means to destroy, to devastate, to wreck, like Ray ruined my game.
-
Uh... calm down.
-
Just kidding.
-
Yeah, but to ruin somebody's life, it means to wreck somebody's life,
-
-to make somebody miserable. -That's right.
-
So, the word "ruin", when used as a verb, means to wreck, to devastate.
-
So, when we say, "to ruin someone's life", it means to wreck somebody's life, it's very bad, and you make that person miserable.
-
So that's our word for today, that is our challenge for this week.
-
So, leave a comment down in the comments section below and using the word "ruined", make a novel sentence,
-
and the next episode, you might be able to see your own sentence in VidTalk.
-
That's right and that's VidTalk for today on Halloween.
-
Thank you for liking, commenting and sharing this video.
-
And remember to subscribe to VoiceTube TV and come back for weekly episodes of VidTalk.
-
And now we're going to go into the comments left in our previous episode.
-
-Take it away JR! -That's right.
-
Ok! We got some comments right here, and we're gonna take three out of the many comments that you left with us,
-
we're really thankful, and here are the three that we like a lot.
-
So, for the first one, from Wushuowei, this is from you,
-
he said, "I had a misconception that VidTalk is still on ICRT, so since 8 P.M. I waited there for 15 minutes, lol."
-
-We're so sorry. -Actually, I'm entertained.
-
But you can come back to VoiceTube TV every week without fail, we will be here.
-
-A new VidTalk. -Every Thursday night 8 p.m. by the way.
-
-That's right. -Ok, Wushuowei, nice guy.
-
-Next is from Rainey, Rainey Liao, yeah, she's one of our favorite listeners too, our audience now. -Yeah, see her a lot.
-
She said, "The people around me always think that I am really kind and patient, but that is misconception. They don't really know me."
-
Really Rainey!? Really!?
-
So that means you are bad, evil, and impatient?
-
Ok, we'll take that. We'll take that, as long as you keep on tuning into our show.
-
Ok, last but not least, I like the name already, her or his name is XDcrazylove.
