Joe Rogan (0:00)

Do, do, do, four, three, two, one. And we're live, Candice.

Candice Thompson (0:08)

Hi, guys.

Joe Rogan (0:10)

Oh my god.

What were you saying about Hereditary? That's supposed to be a terrifying movie, right?

Candice Thompson (0:14)

That's what they said.

Joe Rogan (0:15)

That's what they said.

Candice Thompson (0:16)

They meaning the media, and like Huffington Post, I think.

So that's why I went, because I'm not scared by anything in the movies. So I'm constantly in pursuit of a actual scary movie. So I went thinking, oh, this might be the one. It was not.

Joe Rogan (0:32)

Damn, you're that hard that no movies get you?

Candice Thompson (0:34)

I can't remember the last time I was scared, but I think Poltergeist when I was a kid. And that's why I'm scared of clowns to this day.

Joe Rogan (0:40)

Nothing as an adult, though.

Candice Thompson (0:42)

No.

Joe Rogan (0:43)

I'm trying to think of the last time I was really scared. Well.

Candice Thompson (0:47)

See?

See? They don't make.

Joe Rogan (0:53)

Well, they're fun. I like them.

Candice Thompson (0:54)

That's how I feel. I like, and I also like thinking that something might get me. I like the suspense in that, but it never does. I always get, it's very anticlimactic for me.

Joe Rogan (1:03)

You like thinking that something might get you scared.

Candice Thompson (1:06)

Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. And it doesn't.

Joe Rogan (1:07)

And it doesn't.

Candice Thompson (1:08)

And it does not.

Joe Rogan (1:08)

Jamie, when was the last time you were scared in a movie?

Jamie (1:10)

So jump scares are, that's like cheap.

Joe Rogan (1:13)

Cheap scares, yeah.

Jamie (1:14)

That's not, that doesn't count, just because it makes it so loud.

Candice Thompson (1:17)

It doesn't care. That doesn't count.

Jamie (1:19)

I don't go see scary movies at the theater, so.

Joe Rogan (1:21)

So you're always at home. So you know.

Jamie (1:24)

Yeah. Yeah.

Candice Thompson (1:25)

The Strangers, that one bothered me a little bit. I was just.

SPEAKER_4 (1:29)

Checking the weather?

Candice Thompson (1:30)

No, I was just.

Joe Rogan (1:31)

You're holding on to it, like you're waiting for something to come in.

Candice Thompson (1:34)

I was just sending out my Instagram stories.

SPEAKER_4 (1:37)

Oh, your Instagram stories.

Candice Thompson (1:38)

But yeah, no, The Strangers, did you see that one?

Joe Rogan (1:40)

No.

Candice Thompson (1:40)

That one was with Liv Tyler.

Joe Rogan (1:43)

Did they have like masks on?

Candice Thompson (1:44)

Yes.

Joe Rogan (1:45)

They were outside the house, trying to kill people.

Candice Thompson (1:47)

That one rocked me a little, a little. But not.

Joe Rogan (1:52)

Yeah. Something about the dark, right? Do you ever mindfuck yourself, and you think that there's like someone outside?

Like you think you hear something, you open your door, you listen.

Candice Thompson (2:01)

That actually has happened to me. I had a peeping Tom. Ooh. I had a real guy outside of my window. Did you know him?

I didn't see him. I only heard him. Oh. My window was cracked, and he started whispering to me through my window.

I have a joke about it now, because it was the only way I could deal with it without getting too paranoid about it. So I wrote a joke about it. But I did, I did, but every time I tell people, they're like, that's terrifying. And I'm like, yeah, that is terrifying. But at the same time, it's like, it was kind of flattering.

Joe Rogan (2:30)

Kind of flattering that he went out of his way to whisper at you through a crack in the window?

Candice Thompson (2:32)

Yeah, all the windows he could have gone to, he came to mine, you know? So, but yeah.

SPEAKER_4 (2:37)

Did you ever see what the guy looked like?

Candice Thompson (2:38)

I didn't, but my neighbor's is. So he came one night, and I heard him, he started whispering to me. He was like, can I, I'll just tell you what he said. It was terrifying. I was watching, also let me give the setup. I was watching Mulholland Drive, have you seen, are you a David Lynch?

That's what I had on. I'm a David Lynch fan, and I had that. I was probably like three o'clock in the morning.

And I sleep with my window open, because my place does not have AC.

Joe Rogan (3:01)

What?

Candice Thompson (3:02)

I know.

SPEAKER_4 (3:03)

What?

Joe Rogan (3:04)

Where do you live, Montana?

Candice Thompson (3:05)

Yes, I just drove in for this today.

SPEAKER_4 (3:08)

The fuck, how can you live in LA?
