Legion Podcasts - All Shows

Hello, everyone, and welcome to Episode 108 of The Friday Nightmares Podcast.

I am one half of your hosting team this evening.

Mr.

Smokeshow Crawford, coming to you from the town of Swartz Creek, in the county of Genesee, in the state of Michigan, in the United States of America, in the North American continent, in the Western Hemisphere, on planet Earth in the Milky Way Galaxy.

I'm fully vaxxed, boosted, and whacked, and ready to climax, and if you can, please get me wet and feed me after midnight.

I'm the man with the glorious beard, aka Mother of Cats, aka the man with the humongous ego, aka Scotthausen, aka Scotty Too Hotty, aka Spanky, aka Hey Scott, and with me as always is...

Aka Husband.

Oh yes, aka Husband now.

Yeah, yeah.

An official stepfather.

Yeah, yes.

Now the stepfather movie can really take place.

And now that I've met the children, I know what risks they're at.

They are so sweet.

I don't...

I'm concerned.

I'm concerned of your toxicity just leading into it.

They showed you their polite face.

Oh, they certainly did.

Those two young men were on their best behavior when I was there for your wedding.

But with him, as always, is Heather Powell, coming to you today from Waterdown, Ontario, Canada, for the second last episode of The Friday Nightmares Podcast.

Oh, that got me a little emotional.

That was surprising when I said it out loud.

We talk about it all the time.

But it actually got me a little emotional.

But we are breaking up.

This is this may be a slow decline, everybody, but it's like any relationship.

You know, you stop trying.

You don't spend the time you used to, you know.

As the song goes, breaking up is hard to do.

It is.

It is.

And then one day you're just at Chili's over some dips and you're just you're ending it.

And the reason why I make that joke is because I read this thing on online where like some guy got dumped at Chili's and the server brought him mozzarella sticks to like comfort him.

Like, that's really nice, actually.

Go Chili's.

Yeah, that's Chili's, actually.

I went to Chili's just before your wedding.

That's just the bomb.

They got great food at Chili's.

I haven't been there since they've because I think they redid their like entire menu and everything like that.

So I've been there since they've redone everything because before it used to be just kind of like Olive Garden, just mediocre.

You know, your typical.

What do you call that franchise type restaurant?

Oh, it's still that.

But we got drunk there and they were really nice to us.

So they put on the World Series, which we were like clearly the only Canadians in the restaurant that cared.

So that was very kind of them to do that.

That is true.

Right.

And they were like, we're cheering for the Blue Jays, too.

And we were like, I go to Detroit Lions.

Which shockily, I thought they were picking ass.

Yeah.

You know what?

This is not an NFL football podcast.

But I do watch football and I cheer for the Bills and I cheer for Detroit.

Because obviously, they're border towns.

Right.

And I think they're two teams that aren't full of dicks, to be honest with you.

I think they're the underdogs that I would love to see go on and have some kind of success.

Fuck West Coast teams.

Yeah.

Fuck fucking Southern teams.

And honestly, I don't watch football, but since it's Detroit lines and they are actually doing really well for like the third year in a row, like I'm paying attention.

I'm like at least looking at scores and stuff because I'm just curious, like because lines have never been good.

And to see them actually be good and consistently good is kind of shocking.

Yeah.

And you know, like, not again, this is not a sports podcast.

I don't know how we got into this.

But when we were watching, the Tigers were in the Run for the World series and they were the only other team besides the Jays that I would have cheered to the end if they had gone all the way.

I would have loved to see Detroit.

You know, I think there is something when you're in a border town, like I even noticed that being over where I was seeing you, a lot of people like, oh yeah, we cheers for the Jays.

Fuck like LA.

You know what I mean?

Like, because it's closer, right?

You have a little bit more of a relationship.

And I think it also emphasizes that the relationship between our country may look bad, you know, but I think between border towns at least, we're still quite friendly.

Yeah, I'll say a lot of, yeah.

Honestly, we work, we're neighbors.

We are.

We're straight up neighbors.

And I think there's more of a knowledge of each other and how each other functions, you know, and I think that that helps too.

Yeah, that does, you know, it's our governments that are fighting and we're just like, yeah, whatever.

Well, it's your government.

100 percent my government.

Oh, I know.

Mine's the instigating asshole.

Yeah, you know, the toxicity over here.

We're just trying.

We're just vibing.

Exactly.

With our maple syrup and our mousses.

We're just vibing.

And our ketchup chips.

This is ketchup chips.

We're just fucking vibing, man.

So, yes, we're coming off the heels of Scottie's.

We're talking.

We're obviously talking around, but talking about your wedding.

Yes.

Today would have been, well, yesterday would have been three weeks since the wedding.

But a lot has gone on before then and during and after it.

But man, what a whirlwind of activity that ended up.

It turned out way better than even I had anticipated.

Like, Eric and I both even said that.

We're like, we expected it to turn out to be fun, but my God, that was way better than we hoped it could be.

It was incredible.

It was a really, really good time.

Yeah, like, I was happy with just how everybody was.

Everybody showed up.

Well, I'd say about 75 to 80 percent of the people actually showed up in costume, which was awesome.

Yeah, yeah.

Like, the DJs were amazing.

Played great music throughout the night.

The bartender was great.

You know, we...

Shout out to the bartender.

Yeah, right.

I was going to say, shout out to everybody that helped us out throughout this thing.

So like our friends Angie and James doing the cooking for us and catering.

Yeah.

Erika's stepsister Alexis for helping with the catering and also helping with Erika.

You and Ron for helping us set up and do everything and just being there for us.

I sat there and I entertained the boys.

Let's be clear.

That right there helps a lot.

I talked to Connor about guns.

Yeah.

But just everybody that chipped in and helped out just to make this day, like our day so special.

Like huge shout out.

Yeah, it was special.

Yeah.

It was a great turnout.

Like wasn't insanely packed and there was a nice flow of people in and out constantly.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And it ended at a good time where it was like, we're not dragging this out and we were home by like 11.30.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I was, I don't know what time we got back to the hotel, because I made choices.

We all did.

I think I made a lot more different choices.

I mean, you had the option to, I had to still drive.

Even if it was a long time ago.

I took Mr.

Jeep Uber that didn't have seatbelts, but it's all right.

It's fucking Michigan.

I'm here for it.

Oh, God.

Really?

No, I had seatbelts.

I don't think they were working that well.

But I blame Ron for bringing extra party favors that.

Oh, yeah, my cousin.

Yeah.

That was fun, though.

And you had a bonfire outside.

Yes, we did.

We had a bonfire s'more station, which I don't think the s'more station ever really got used.

But I did toast some marshmallows.

Oh, did you?

OK.

Oh, I did.

I did.

Don't you worry.

And the and the setup was you had your pinhead there.

Pinhead was there to witness the day.

Yep.

He was honoring us.

Yeah.

It was really nice.

You know, it was such a, you know, you and Erica are a very good couple, right?

Like and you fell head over heels for her very early on.

And in my speech, we're not going to go over my speech.

Like I mentioned that because I'll never forget.

And it's true, Scott, the day that you brought her up, you've been to my house three or four times by that point.

Yeah.

And the fact that you entered in the wrong address, I was like, what the fuck is wrong with you?

And then I saw you had your hat backwards, because I know she likes it when you have your hat backwards when you video chatted.

And I saw her giggling and like the way she touched your hand.

I'm like, oh, that's why he was distracted driving here today.

It was very, very sweet, very, very sweet.

And she was she she handled it well.

Like I know she didn't have a lot of sleep, the poor thing.

Yeah, the Friday to the Saturday.

I don't think any bride sleeps well.

But she she rocked it going on literally, I think two hours of sleep.

So I think she, yeah, yeah.

She was fueled by caffeine and the energy of the moment.

And yeah, love for me.

We'll say that.

Yeah, it was her undying love for you, Scott, that kept her going.

She's like, yeah, that's it.

Yeah, 100%.

Nothing to do with the pot of coffee I drank, Heather, had everything to do with my undying love for Scott.

But that's the pictures too.

You couldn't have had a better day for these photos.

They were like Halloween, spooky, haunted.

Yes.

Like, I don't know, it's like the I know that you're not necessarily someone who believes in God, but it's like someone heard you.

And they were like, we got you.

Don't you worry.

Right.

Well, I was going to say, I cannot wait till we get all the professional photos back for our photographer, because also shout out to Cheyenne, the photographer, because she kicked ass.

She stayed to the very end and even helped us break down everything, which was awesome.

She didn't have to do that.

She's a very good photographer.

Yeah, and she took advantage of that open field with all the fall leaves and everything.

So I can't wait to see those photos when she gets them all finished up and uploaded.

But yeah, this turned out amazing.

It was funny though, because Erica and I barely seen or spoke to each other after all the necessities were done, because people kept pulling us in different directions.

Of course, it's your wedding day.

Like, I don't think we talked enough.

Yeah, we talked enough.

I felt like I'm like, damn, I didn't really get to even hang out with Erica and George that much.

Well, you know, here's the thing.

You don't need to, because we'll see you again, because Ron is now our new best friends, and he'll be coming up to and staying at a different hotel.

I definitely it was fine.

Like, honestly, it was just more that it was kind of like dirty around the hotel.

Like, I didn't give a shit about drug deals and stuff.

Like, I know that makes me sound probably like, but fuck, who cares about people making a little money off a blow?

Like, that's not...

I can turn my head to that.

I was more concerned that there's like human trafficking or something going on in the hotel.

That I have a hard time turning away from.

But luckily, I didn't see any of that.

And I'm making it sound like this was the worst hotel.

It was not, just to be clear.

It's just Flint.

It's just Flint, you know?

And even the restaurants, when I would go there, they're like, yeah, yeah, this is Flint.

I'm like, it's a thing, man.

I don't know if I can tell you people were like, this is Flint.

Flint does what Flint does, and the Flint people do what Flint people do.

Like, hence when we pulled up to the border and they're like, where are you heading to?

We're like, Flint.

No question of like, are you sure you're coming?

They're like, oh, you're coming back.

We know you're not staying.

Yeah, nope.

You two white folks looking like you just pulled out of a fucking Starbucks.

You two are not staying in Flint.

In the hotel that I was thinking that you were going to stay at, I thought was on Hill Road.

And that's the one that Erika and her friends all got hotel at the night before.

Well, they ended up having like something happen that they had to get shuffle everybody to the hotel across the street.

So it was like, good thing you didn't go there, because that would have been a mess too.

Honestly, I couldn't win.

You know, it was just not the high point for Flint hotels on the weekend of your wedding.

But it was a high point for your wedding.

And that's all that matters.

Is that you're married, and now you can have sex.

I can finally not live in sin.

You know, I'm proud of you for finally doing the right thing, Scott.

Oh, but yeah, this, I couldn't have been happier.
