From the always funny Family Trips with the Meyers Brothers podcast.
Episode 40.
This part of the conversation stars around ~22:00 minutes in...
Patton: "... And then Tustin Meadows, California, which I very much remember. The reason I very much remember that is because when I was five years old, we moved to Virginia, but we moved on Halloween.
"So as we left the neighborhood to go to the airport, all the kids were starting to come out to go trick-or-treating, and I'm just watching this fade in the back window of the [car], it was-- If there was ever a super villain origin story of like missing out on Halloween... it's so brutal, yeah.
Seth: "Did you dress up for the move?"
Patton: "I don't remember dressing up, but I do remember, and I remember this very vividly, the attendants on the plane tried to give my brother and I like a Halloween and put together goodie bags for us, but it was like a deck of playing cards, those little plastic wings, a napkin.
"Like it was just, it made it even worse. Yeah, it literally was like the attendants going, 'These poor kids, let's give them a Halloween.' So they tried to gather every fun thing that was on the plane.
"This is the early 70s. It wasn't a lot of fun on planes. So they just, you know, 'Oh, look, it's a little plastic cocktail thing. It looks like a sword. That's fun.'
Seth: "It is true that I think a candy obsessed super villain, a great origin story would be driving away on Halloween. Yeah."
Patton: "On Halloween. And then he's like, I'm gonna wear a costume someday. Like that's how he becomes a super villain. And I will have all the candy."
