**Johnny Cann** (2:13)
Hi, everyone, welcome to That Spooky, I'm Johnny.

**Tyler Hyde** (2:15)
And I'm Tyler.

**Johnny Cann** (2:16)
And this is a weekly podcast that came to be because we both ate an apple that a witch offered us. Sometimes it's a good thing.

**Tyler Hyde** (2:23)
That's right, you dangle a Granny Smith in front of me, I'm biting it.

**Johnny Cann** (2:27)
Yeah, I feel like witch apples have gotten a bad reputation over the years.

**Tyler Hyde** (2:31)
What kind of apple do you think is the go-to witch apple?

**Johnny Cann** (2:34)
Red Delicious.

**Tyler Hyde** (2:35)
Because they're aesthetically pleasing, but not actually that satisfying or delicious?

**Johnny Cann** (2:39)
What? How dare you? How dare you sit on my bed and badmouth a Red Delicious apple?

**Tyler Hyde** (2:46)
I thought your favorite apples were gala apples.

**SPEAKER_3** (2:48)
No, they're not.

**Tyler Hyde** (2:49)
Oh, you like the Red Delicious?

**Johnny Cann** (2:50)
Red Delicious is my favorite.

**Tyler Hyde** (2:52)
Oh, this is awkward.

**Johnny Cann** (2:53)
We're getting married in less than a month. And you, I'm pointing a lot of time right now.
In fact, I was pointing at the top of him and at the bottom of him, pointing up and down as I was deriding him. But no, and you have all the shit to say about my favorite apple.

**Tyler Hyde** (3:12)
Well, I listen, it's not just my opinion. I know that's the overall consensus of the Red Delicious. Yes.

**Johnny Cann** (3:17)
Who the fuck thinks...

**Tyler Hyde** (3:19)
Are you not listening to the apple discourse? No, I'm not.

**Johnny Cann** (3:22)
I grew up in the apple capital of Atlanta, Canada, the Annapolis Valley. Thank you very much.

**Tyler Hyde** (3:26)
Well, maybe that's the thing. Because you grew up in the apple capital, maybe your Red Delicious apples are actually delicious.
And everybody else's are less delicious.

**Johnny Cann** (3:38)
They're sweet and delicious. They're like the brown bread of the apple world. How dare you?

**Tyler Hyde** (3:43)
Well, see, I don't really like brown bread.

**Johnny Cann** (3:45)
Well, that's your problem too. Yeah. Oh my God. I love both of those things. And I will happily marry this man, because at least I know that I will forever get the brown bread and Red Delicious apples.

**Tyler Hyde** (3:58)
Yeah, and like I fully acknowledge I'm a sociopath. I love Granny Smith apples. Those are my favorite.

**Johnny Cann** (4:04)
Sure. You know what is also a really good apple that is completely slept on? The Lobo.
L-O-B motherfucking O.

**Tyler Hyde** (4:15)
I don't know her.

**Johnny Cann** (4:16)
It is a Canadian, I believe like Canadian variety of apple, but they're known, I don't know, they kind of look like little cartoon cherries. They have this like very bulbous short round look, almost not even cherries, almost like tomatoes.
