FULL SHOW: Halloween COSTUME Reveal, Horror Fest Date + Monster (Laser) Stories (10/30/26)

0:00 If there's one thing this show does right, it's a Halloween group costume. And I stand by that. It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. We got our full hour of just Halloween fun for you today.

0:12 And our socials are actually being overflowed with content. Digital Jake is on it today.

0:18 Yes, he is.

0:18 If you want to see what we're dressed up as, we've got the big reveal coming up in this hour. You can also visualize it for yourself by going to our Instagram, our TikTok, our YouTube at Brooke and Jeffrey.

0:29 There's so many fun videos. And God, I just love today.

0:33 Oh, yes.

0:34 And you guys always want a live video of the shot caller. And we have that for you in costume. Oh, yeah, we do have it on our YouTube. Live shot caller today in studio.

0:42 Check it out on YouTube again at Brooke and Jeffrey and sit back, get into the Halloween spirit and enjoy the show.

0:49 It's finally here, kicking off Brooke and Jeffrey's big annual spooktacular Halloween show stravaganza. And we're less than an hour away from when we'll reveal our group costumes to the listeners, so you have to stick around for that.

1:05 But I am going to give you a little hint about what we are this year. Just a teaser.

1:10 And your hint is, we are not spooktacular. breakfast cereal killers like Brooke wanted.

1:16 Oh, you know, that's important to tell people. They all were like, we know what you're going to be.

1:21 I don't want to say it's a bad idea, but Jeffrey Dahmer's Frosted Meat Loops. You know, John Wayne Gacy's Clownberry Crunch.

1:31 I wasn't taking that angle on it when I said it, but I'm not opposed to it.

1:35 I'm surprised you were thinking it all, because I'm just shocked and disappointed. I guess not shocked, but definitely disappointed you put that idea out for a family show, bro.

1:44 But we didn't do that.

1:46 I was in my costume, though, and I did have a little situation happen in the break room. I'll talk about it in a bit, but it was very awkward, very uncomfortable. I do want to ask my co-host, though, what do you think the general reaction is going to be on social media when we do the big reveal? How excited do you think listeners will actually be?

2:04 I think they'll be like, they'll be the, the over 30 year olds will be stoked about it.

2:09 And then the younger.

2:11 Ones will go, huh? Then they'll do a Google search. Then they'll go, Oh my God, that's amazing.

2:18 It's definitely going to run the gamut. And I will say.

2:22 I'm not going to call anyone out by name, but there is one costume in the room that's dragging all the others down.

2:26 What?

2:28 No spoilers, but it is a group effort. One of us is not equal, though, in execution.

2:33 Wow.

2:34 Make sure you follow us on socials at Brooke and Jeffrey so you can see the photos and the videos that we're going to be posting in our costumes.

2:40 Yes, it's so fun.

2:41 All morning long. So, all right, now let's move on and get into the shot caller question of the day with Digital Jake. I'm guessing something Halloween. I'm going out on a limb here.

2:52 It's Halloween time!

2:56 Yay!

2:56 Which means soon, ravenous little children will take to the streets going door to door begging for free candy.

3:03 Ah!

3:04 Or whatever loose, unwrapped garbage that Grandma found in her purse.

3:08 Oh, yes.

3:09 And we've debated on the show Ad Nauseam, which spooky treats do you actually want in your bag, and which ones do you wish there was a hole in your bag so they'd just fall out as you walked away? And today, you'll have to identify some of those in a special candy brag or candy gag edition of... Plenty of 20. Now, this one is different. Instead of one list of 20, I have two lists of 10. The 10 most loved and the 10 most hated Halloween candies.

3:41 So before you guess, you have to tell me love or hate and then name an item from that list to stay in the game.

3:48 God, that's so hard, because I like to take notes normally, but I can't see very well right now.

3:52 That's good, because we're starting with the woman who, just like her dating life, doesn't like smarties. She thinks dum-dums are hotter.

3:59 That's Alexis.

4:01 All right, Alexis. I'm going to go my favorite, so it's on the love list, and that's Twix.

4:07 Twix is number four on.

4:09 The love list.

4:11 Don't haunt my Twix, Brooke.

4:12 Brooke, you going for love or hate? Oh, hate, hate.

4:14 Show me hate and show me candy corn.

4:17 Candy corn, number one most hated candy.

4:20 Wow.

4:21 We're two for two, Jose.

4:22 I thought I had the number one most hated. I'm going to go hated first. I think it's easier. Let's go Tootsie Rolls.

4:27 Tootsie Roll barely makes the list at number ten.

4:32 Oh my gosh.

4:34 Derek took a dookie in the swimming pool.

4:38 Jeffrey, it's your turn.

4:39 I'm also going hate because I don't know what's even inside of these. It's like mothball material. Give me whoppers.

4:46 Whoppers.

4:48 Number three on the hate list.

4:50 No way. They're hated?

4:52 They're disgusting.

4:53 People don't like malt. All right, Alexis, it's your turn.

4:55 Are you guys thinking of all hate? I'm going love again. I'm just going to take all the easy ones and say Snickers.

4:59 Snickers.

5:00 Snickers is number two on the like list.

5:03 All right, I'll come back to love. Is it my turn, Jake?

5:05 Let's go. Say when it's your turn, Brooke.

5:07 Say it, Brooke. I'm excited.

5:08 Brooke, it's your turn.

5:09 My favorite, Reese's.

5:11 Reese's is number one on the love list. You guys are cruising.

5:14 Yeah, I was going to definitely say Reese's. I'm going to say love. Milky Way.

5:19 Milky Way, Jose, is number seven on the love list. All right, Jeffrey.

5:24 I'm going hate again because I had some pretty bad experiences in my childhood when my chauffeur wouldn't drive me to the good areas. So give me Black Licorice.

5:34 Black Licorice is number seven on the hate list. We're through two rounds. We're talking the most loved and most hated candies. You guys haven't missed one yet. Alexis, it's your turn.

5:43 Okay, I might miss one, but I used to hate when they'd give me Smarties. I was like, these are lame and old and boring. So Smarties on hate.

5:50 Smarties did not make the hate list.

5:55 They better not be on the love list.

5:56 Alexis is out.

5:57 Brooke?

5:58 Okay, I'm going to go love list, and I'm going to say Peanut M & M' s.

6:02 Oh, yeah.

6:03 Peanut M & M' s.

6:04 So good.

6:05 Has to be on there, Jake.

6:06 I'm going to take both M & M' s off the list there. Number five. Regular and peanut are off the board now.

6:11 Jose?

6:12 Oh, man.

6:13 I'm going to say love Butterfinger.

6:16 Butterfinger? Barely makes the love list.

6:20 Yes, I'm very dramatic.

6:22 Number 10. We have four left on the love list. We have six left on the hate list, Jeffrey.

6:26 Let's keep the hate train going. I'm going to say Lemonheads.

6:30 Lemonheads did not make the hate list.

6:36 Alexis.

6:37 I'm out.

6:37 Wonderful. That was just checking. I was testing you.

6:40 Brooke, it's your turn.

6:42 I'm paying attention, too.

6:44 I'm going to go the Loveless. I remember we talked about it earlier. And show me Sour Patch Kids.

6:49 Number six, Jose.

6:52 Well, she took my answer. I can't think of anything else. I don't know what this is on. It'd be a miracle. But I'm going to say Love, Baby Ruth. Baby Ruth.

7:03 No.

7:04 I figured.

7:04 That means Brooke has won today's. Plenty of 20. Some of the candies you guys missed from the love list. Number three was Kit Kat. Twitch was the first one. Skittles and Starburst were eight and nine. The worst candies to get Twizzlers was two. Bit of Honey was four. Circus Peanuts was five.

7:22 Oh, I hate those. Those are wild.

7:23 Dots was six. I'm sorry to all the Joy Boys out there.

7:27 Oh.

7:27 Omen Joy and Mounds tied for eighth. And Neko Wafers, number nine.

7:32 On the list. Sad.

7:33 All right.

7:33 Well, Brooke obviously is the candy queen of this show, so she gets to choose who gets shocked. And they're going to be singing the Addams Family theme. Who's it going to be?

7:41 Well, you were so negative with all your hate lists, so I'm going you, Jeff.

7:44 Yeah.

7:45 Okay.

7:46 Generally.

7:47 Yeah. All right.

7:51 They're creepy and they're kooky, mysteriously spooky. They're all together ooky, the Addams Family.

8:01 Oh, Jesus.

8:02 Had it on eight for Halloween.

8:03 Oh, wow.

8:05 Oh, I loved it.

8:06 Add it to my hate list, shock collars. That's your shock collar question of the day.

8:10 Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

8:14 Head to our socials right now at Brooke and Jeffrey, YouTube, TikTok, IG, and you're going to see our costumes right there for Halloween.

8:22 I'm not even going to explain them to you.

8:24 Nope.

8:25 Just let you get hit in the face with a big ball of fur.

8:27 It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

8:30 But I will tell you this. Halloween will officially land tomorrow.

8:34 Woo!

8:35 A lot of people don't have a big budget for candy this year.

8:38 No, and it's so expensive.

8:40 Like the bag of chocolate stuff is like over $ 20.

8:43 For one bag, it's nuts.

8:45 So trick-or-treaters may have to work extra hard to get their loot. And a woman on TikTok named Danielle is going viral for what she found inside her son's candy bag during trunk-or-treat over the weekend. It wasn't great, so let's listen. A true sign of how horrible our current economy is.

9:04 Look at what I found.

9:04 I was going through my son's Halloween candy from his trunk of treat over the weekend.

9:08 Look what I found. One single individually wrapped gummy bear.

9:12 What?

9:12 All you get is one.

9:15 Oh, my gosh.

9:16 Yeah, and it's not a cannabis gummy, if that's what you were thinking. Oh, I didn't. Because mom checked, and she felt nothing. All of the candies in the bag.

9:26 The adults always got to check the drugs.

9:29 Yeah. It's one of the perks of being a parent. But he also got a single-wrapped Swedish fish. Oh, my gosh. A single-wrapped Sour Patch Kid.

9:38 What?

9:39 Because apparently Dollar Trees are doing this now, selling them as individually-wrapped one-off candies.

9:46 That has to be worth more than the actual candy.

9:51 Probably but yeah, hey, you know what don't let that get you down, huh?

9:55 Okay.

9:56 It just means your kid has to hit 14 houses of single-wrapped M & Ms to equal one fun-sized bag.

10:02 Hey!

10:03 All right.

10:03 Only have two pieces, kids.

10:05 Yep, and daylight savings happens this weekend, so that's one extra hour of trick-or-treat time.

10:11 Yay! Let's go! So enjoy.

10:13 We got laser stories and a whole Halloween show coming up for you right after this.

10:22 It's a special Halloween edition of Laser Stories where we're getting ultra creative, putting a super spooky twist on it, and today we're calling it Monster Stories.

10:35 Scary.

10:37 Still reading topical news stories around the globe, just like everyone else, but instead of laser sounds, we've got a menagerie of monster groans ready for you. While those other oogie boogies just don't, this first monster story is out of Baltimore.

10:53 Oh, werewolf.

10:55 Yeah.

10:55 A 48-year-old woman named Unique Wiggins said her 21-year-old daughter called her recently in a total panic.

11:02 Uh-oh.

11:03 She told her mom she was walking on the sidewalk by Unique's house when she heard a man's voice say she couldn't walk there.

11:10 What?

11:11 What the heck?

11:12 When Unique asked her daughter what man she was talking about, she said, the man in the sewer.

11:18 Oh!

11:22 Why is there a man in the sewer?

11:25 Well, at first, Unique thought it was a joke and her kids were just messing with her.

11:29 That's what I would think.

11:31 Trying to convince her that Pennywise from It lived on the street. Until she went and investigated herself. And that's when she walked down to the area and heard someone singing from the storm drain. Ain't nobody got time for that.

11:45 At least it's a happy man in the drain.

11:47 I don't know.

11:48 You don't sing when you're in a bad mood.

11:50 Singing in the drain.

11:51 Tell that to Adele, bro. Come on now. But she yelled down to the sewer grate and a man's voice responded saying, what?

11:59 Yeah, leave me alone. I'm sleeping.

12:01 I bet it's hard to hear when you're down in the sewer.

12:03 A lot of echoes. Unique couldn't believe it, though, so she screamed down to him, leave my kids alone.

12:09 Yes.

12:10 And he replied, no, tell them to leave me alone.

12:14 Oh.

12:15 So. Wow.

12:17 It's just a man in a sewer that wants his privacy. Yeah.

12:19 I see.

12:20 And I'm assuming they yelled that at each other for like five minutes back and forth.

12:23 No, you go away.

12:24 You know, she looks like the crazy one if you're looking from the street.

12:27 Yeah. Definitely.

12:29 After the unnerving altercation, Unique did call the cops, but police told her that the sewer lines and culverts are public property.

12:37 So they're limited on what they could actually do.

12:39 You can't kick someone out of the sewer?

12:41 Because it's public space, Brooke.

12:45 Even underground?

12:46 At least he was served a peace order. They could do that.

12:50 So now, with no other options, Unique is attempting to look on the bright side. At least the guy is a lot less of a murderous clown and more of just an annoying middle-aged man.

13:00 Ah, you know. I don't know. I may go with the clown.

13:04 On that one.

13:04 Yeah, that was a monster story. Your next monster story is out of Olympia, Washington. So cops were called to a spirit Halloween after a man walked inside with regular clothes, but then left looking like Darth Vader. And if you know anything about Darth, you know that he did not pay.

13:32 Oh, he's cheap.

13:34 Yeah, you would know that. I mean, he would be. He'd be the guy that didn't tip.

13:37 Yeah, totally.

13:38 He totally cut corners on the Death Star. Why do you think it blew up?

13:40 That's a good point.

13:41 But Olympia police arrived shortly after the Dark Lord's getaway. to find a pair of track pants and a hoodie laying in one of the aisles right next to an empty costume package.

13:52 Left the evidence.

13:54 As for where Vader went... The suspect reportedly hid under a tree for hours until the coast was clear.

14:00 That's not very brave of Darth Vader.

14:02 That's when he tried to make a break for it. But a couple of Spirit Halloween employees happened to be riding the same bus as Darth.

14:09 Oh, dang it.

14:11 Wait, Darth has to take public transportation? I didn't know times had gotten so hard for him.

14:17 It's tough on the dark side. But before he could use the force and choke him out, they called the cops.

14:22 Oh, no.

14:24 And this time when officers arrived, they saw the culprit in full costume with his lightsaber on a child's scooter attempting to do a second getaway.

14:34 What?

14:35 I'd love to see Vader on a scooter.

14:37 At that point, no amount of Jedi mind tricks would work, and the police did arrest him.

14:43 I'm sure they tried to add that mode of transportation to one of the sequels, but.

14:47 It got cut. So cops posted the incident on their Facebook page, and comments quickly flooded in, as you can imagine, way too many puns.

14:56 Ready, Alexis?

14:57 Never am.

14:58 One said, oh no, Wookie mistake.

15:01 Hey, hey, hey.

15:05 Another said, busted they are.

15:07 Not as good as the first.

15:10 And finally, the one that took the top spot was a caption over his mugshot that read, Caught the Millennium Felon.

15:18 You want us to keep going with the comments?

15:21 The police Facebook page is a page I never want to go to.

15:24 That was a monster story. Let's go to your next monster story out of The Big Bad Night of Free Candy.

15:32 I love it.

15:36 That was actually me from last Halloween.

15:38 Halloween, it's usually considered more of a kid's holiday than an adult one. But some older people want to claim it for themselves, especially if they can get a day off of work for it. And I say that because in a new poll, 70% of Americans say they believe Halloween is as much for adults as it is for children.

15:59 I think so.

15:59 With the parties? Yeah.

16:01 And like even like, you know, we're shutting our street down and having a block party and all our neighbors come out and we do bonfires in the street.

16:08 It's up 8% from last year. And 81 of parents agree Halloween belongs to grown-ups, too. Wow. Now, 58% of people take that a step farther. And they think Halloween should become a national holiday, like Memorial Day, Independence Day, and Christmas. And 78% of Gen Zers agree with that sentiment.

16:29 I agree.

16:30 That's an old Gen Zer.

16:33 Some of us believe that Halloween should just be an adults-only holiday and make the kids go to school while the adults get to stay home and party.

16:41 That's a little selfish.

16:42 But that's a trick. I mean, let's put the trick back in trick or treat, right?

16:46 Let's have one national holiday like that that's only for adults. I think that'd be pretty cool. But in other news, 53% of people said Halloween is their ultimate favorite holiday.

16:56 Aww.

16:57 Supposedly, it's the first year that the percentage has crossed the halfway mark.

17:01 I think it's because you don't have to invite your family over to your house.

17:04 Do you know what I mean?

17:05 You don't have to deal with in-laws, no drunk uncles.

17:08 Or spend like six hours cooking one dinner.

17:10 You don't even have to clean your house. They're not coming in.

17:14 So what have we learned this month?

17:16 People are spending much less money, but Halloween, for some reason, is getting way more popular.

17:22 I like it.

17:23 I think people just need escapes right now.

17:26 Yep.

17:26 100%. As for this guy, he's battling with an undead Payless.

17:31 Employee for a clearance bid high deal.

17:35 And that does not sound like it's going well.

17:39 That was not good at the end there, John.

17:42 That sound means Monster Stories has come to an end for the day. We'll go back to normal laser stories same time on Monday.

17:50 Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

17:54 There are certain events that people just look forward to every year.

17:58 Yes.

17:58 The Super Bowl halftime show.

18:00 Uh-huh. Yeah.

18:01 The comeback of the McRib. Oh. And, of course, the yearly defrosting of Mariah Carey. But none of those compare to the most anticipated fashion event of the whole year when we reveal our morning show group Halloween costumes.

18:19 Yes!

18:22 That's right.

18:24 I'm so excited.

18:24 We are all dressed in studio right now. Who's going to look amazing? Who's going to look like they lost a bet?

18:31 And whose costume is going to get them banned from being within 500 feet of a school?

18:35 All right.

18:36 You're going to have to find out when we reveal our group Halloween costumes coming up right after this. Oh, gosh.

18:42 We may have made a terrible mistake. In fact, I know we have. It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Brooke's not in the room right now. She will be shortly.

18:53 But the reason I bring it up is because our big Halloween show is today. It's right now.

19:01 And if you're listening, this is the first time we're going to be talking about what we're dressed up as. And I'll tell you, I just got back from the break room in my outfit. And there were three ladies in there grabbing coffee. And they saw me and said, oh, are you the Easter Bunny?

19:17 And, you know, these girls were on the younger side. So I told them, no, it's from the popular cartoon show with the rascally rabbit. And they just stared at me blankly.

19:29 So really freaking me out talking to you with a mask on.

19:32 It's really scary.

19:34 Off season Easter Bunny.

19:37 Too late to change it now. And before before I say who all of us are, like I already mentioned, we are missing one person. And I'm getting the signal that Brooke is waiting just outside the studio door. None of us. have seen her yet. So if you're listening and you want to see, check out our YouTube, our Insta, TikTok, at Brooke and Jeffrey. We'll have all the photos and videos up there. But now let's.

19:58 Bring Brooke back.

20:00 Into the room find out.

20:04 Who she is oh my god oh my god it's so good Brooke is.

20:10 Yosemite Sam cause we're dressed as the characters from Looney Tunes this year you're good for nothing varmints I've been looking.

20:19 For a high school.

20:21 Metal detector to find me the mother load I'm.

20:25 Rich rich I'll tell ya Brooke came in hot yeah You have a lot going on with your outfit right now. The giant orange mustache. You have to tell us about your outfit because we know you spent a lot of time working on it.

20:38 Well, Darn Tootin' I spent a lot of time on this, buddy.

20:41 What?

20:43 I said Darn Tootin.

20:44 I spent a lot of time on this.

20:45 There you go.

20:47 The communication between the mustache and the bunny mask.

20:49 Well, your nose is my favorite.

20:52 The problem was they don't sell Yosemite Sam costumes. So I had to make my own.

21:00 Yeah, it shows.

21:02 I thought you thought I was a real cartoon character.

21:06 So there's a lot going on with yours. Let's go around the rest of the room. Alexis, tell us who you are and if you still respect yourself after looking in the mirror.

21:14 I'm Tweety Bird.

21:15 Oh, you're so cute.

21:16 Thanks.

21:17 I do, but the feather bows, it's leaving a trail everywhere I go in the office today.

21:22 Anyways.

21:22 That's after Sylvester tries to get you.

21:24 I found out Sylvester and I aren't friends when I was Googling the show.

21:27 Yeah, because you had no idea who Tweety Bird was.

21:30 I mean, like, I knew who she was. I don't know anything about her.

21:32 It's a he.

21:32 Yeah.

21:33 What?

21:33 Tweety's not a girl?

21:35 She's a boy.

21:36 She's supposed to be a girl, but is a boy, I think.

21:38 I'm a boy bird?

21:38 You're a boy, yeah. But you agree.

21:40 I'm a boy bird.

21:41 Yeah.

21:42 That really threw me off.

21:44 Really good. Okay, Jose, I know you want to do the voice, so just go ahead and do it.

21:48 That's really good. I'm just me.

21:50 I'm Tasmania.

22:00 And as I said earlier, the girls in the break room all thought I was the Easter Bunny, but I'm really Bugs Bunny. And I had to put on the jersey from Space Jam because without it, I just felt kind of naked.

22:12 You still don't have pants on, Bugs.

22:16 So that's how you like to live your life.

22:18 Yeah, my pants weren't available for overnight delivery. So I had to make do. Who else we got? We have Digital Jake. He's dressed as Daffy Duck.

22:27 That's right, Jeff. To answer your respect question, I never respected myself to begin with.

22:31 There you go. So we're mortal enemies. And, uh, I think you are. He's trying to get me killed with rabbit season all the time.

22:38 Yeah, but it's kind of like, you know, it's kind of like you and Jose.

22:40 Yeah.

22:41 You know?

22:42 Okay.

22:42 It's the same type of relationship.

22:44 Sure.

22:44 Totally.

22:44 Technical director Ashton is an even more malnourished version of Marvin the Martian.

22:50 Bro, it looks so good.

22:51 It looks so good.

22:52 It's an incredible costume.

22:53 Ashton is incredibly.

22:55 He made it himself. Tell us about it.

22:57 I can't breathe. I can't breathe. And our editor Ashley is Sylvester the Cat. So she goes around with her best friend Tweety Bird to Starbucks sharing caramel macchiatos.

23:09 I love how big everyone's noses are. I never realized Looney Tunes, like I want to honk your noses.

23:14 And then, of course, we have our producer Boyd, who.

23:18 I really wasn't sure what he was, but the costume's very red.

23:22 Yeah, it's like the.

23:23 Red monster guy that kind of looks like the abominable snowman if he was red.

23:28 I don't know his name.

23:28 What's his name?

23:28 We talked about it. We looked it up.

23:30 His name is Gossamer. Gossamer.

23:32 Oh, how could we forget that? He's kind of a gentle giant at times.

23:34 Do you know who Gossamer is? Yes.

23:37 We did our research.

23:38 And his is one of those inflatables with a fan inside to blow it up.

23:41 Yeah, it's great.

23:42 It's really unnecessary for an ancillary player on the show, but. Together we are the cast of Looney Tunes.

23:49 Let's go, Looney Tunes!

23:52 Let's do this thing. We're toony.

23:54 We're toony.

23:55 We're loony.

23:56 Yeah, we're toony.

23:56 Some of us are more into it than others. And I understand that there's going to be some Gen Z people and Gen Alphas looking at the post and the photos saying, question mark, question mark, question mark. Who is this?

24:07 Oh, come on.

24:08 You guys know.

24:09 Yeah, I know.

24:10 You're going to think we're eight people heading to a furry convention after their car broke down, which might be a better idea than what we actually are.

24:17 But again, we do this for you.

24:18 Yeah.

24:19 For the listener. Yeah.

24:21 Yeah, darn tootin', I've just been working on this every night.

24:23 For a whole week.

24:25 My house is a mess.

24:27 There's orange fur everywhere. I feel like this is the real Brooke.

24:31 Yeah, I know. Her true spirit is coming out. But just looking around the room, in my unbiased opinion, I do think I'm dressed the best. Oh, really? I'm guessing all the texts at 78592 from listeners are going to agree.

24:42 You look like Bugs Bunny after, like, the midlife crisis.

24:47 That's exactly what I was going for.

24:50 Ashton and Brooke, I think, are the best. It's a tie.

24:53 You can always text in 78592. Tell us who you think wore it best. On top of that, we've got brand new Halloween phone taps and second dates for you later on today.

25:03 Happy Halloween, everybody. I think we're going to have to bleep some of that. Before we go, any last complaints about the work that you did for this moment?

25:15 Nope.

25:15 It's high on some paint fumes right now because I've got to paint this out. There we go.

25:19 I'm having a great time.

25:22 I heard pain. I thought you were going to say painkillers.

25:24 Yeah.

25:25 Anything works. There was a lot of pain. A lot of pain. Okay.

25:28 We're going to do a Halloween phone tap for you coming up right after this. It's time for your special Halloween phone tap. Brooke and Jeffrey.

25:36 In the morning. And today we call a woman who's been trying for years now, attempting to get her hands on a certain decoration from a popular hardware store. Last year, she missed out. And then she was put on a wait list. Then it was out of stock. Put back on the wait list again. And at this point, she's given up all hope.

25:56 Oh, no.

25:57 Oh, man. Sold out forever.

25:58 But her husband hasn't. Not on getting her the spooky animatronic. I mean, on pranking her on our show.

26:05 That's why he has asked the Hardware Employee of the Month to step in and handle the situation. That'd be Jose's character, Big Rick.

26:13 In your special Halloween phone tap right now.

26:18 Rick and Jeffrey's phone taps on the 20s.

26:22 Hello?

26:23 Why, hello there. Is this a silly Sandra....

26:32 Um, yes, it is. And this is.

26:36 Hiya, friend.

26:37 I am calling from Los Hardwell.

26:39 My name is Big Rip. Um, okay.

26:44 What can I help you with?

26:45 So, according to your invoice, you ordered the, uh, uh, 12-foot Lotted Pumpkin King with voice activation.

26:54 Ooh.

26:56 Yes, I did.

26:57 Is there... Is there an issue with my order?

27:00 Is there an issue?

27:02 If I had never heard a prediction in my life.

27:08 That's one.

27:10 All right.

27:10 So what's the problem?

27:12 Well, as you might remember, it was out of stock at the time. But lucky for you, Big Rick pulled a few strings and.

27:19 Got you an extra one shipped in. So now you can scare the chicken shit out of folks.

27:25 In your neighborhood.

27:26 Okay.

27:27 You're welcome.

27:29 Wow.

27:29 That's great news then that you got it in because I would have been super disappointed.

27:33 And it's mighty scary if I do say so.

27:36 Just listen. I'll activate the motion sensor on it. Hold on a second.

27:40 Here we go. Hold on a second. You have it out of the box right now?

27:44 Hold on.

27:44 Hold on.

27:45 Closer.

27:49 What the hell?

27:51 Your sleep.

27:56 Okay, can you please stop touching it?

27:59 Can you please?

28:01 I'm paying for something that's closed inside the box. I don't want any pieces missing.

28:05 Like, this has been a whole thing.

28:07 Something that you may not understand is we want to make sure it's working perfectly before we're going to go ahead and ship it off to you, right?

28:15 So I have got it installed here at.

28:17 Big Rick's house.

28:19 And what's scary? Don't make eye contact.

28:22 Hold on.

28:22 Excuse me.

28:23 You have it at your house?

28:25 Well, you are absolutely 100% correctamundo about that, because that is our lowest customer guarantee, and it's how we're going to take care of you.

28:35 My mind is blown right now.

28:37 I don't understand.

28:38 This is at your house, out of the.

28:40 Box, put together.

28:41 This is Big Rick's highest level of customer service, okay?

28:44 We have tested it. We have assembled it.

28:47 This is insane to me.

28:48 And on November 1st, I will personally come and deliver it to your home.

28:52 November 1st?

28:53 That's like the day after Halloween. What the am I going to do with a pumpkin king outside.

28:58 My house after Halloween?

29:00 Like that, ooh, happy Thanksgiving.

29:03 Now, you ain't wrong with that information.

29:06 Okay, but on my good- I know, I'm very correct.

29:09 Okay, well, on my good conscience, I cannot hand over a product that could be deemed.

29:18 Faulty.

29:19 How could it be faulty?

29:20 It's brand new, and it should have been in the box, closed up.

29:24 Not touched.

29:24 I have waited two years to finally get this one.

29:27 Hold on me, correction.

29:28 And you have ruined this for me.

29:30 Okay, it was brand new. But when I took it back to my RV park, I tripped over a tire, and I dropped it.

29:36 So there may be some damage.

29:38 I don't think you're hearing me. I want to talk to your manager. I need a supervisor to call me.

29:43 Okay, well, it.

29:44 Sounds like you're having some kind of cranky Karen kind of day.

29:48 I'm not a Karen.

29:49 Like, I don't even get it.

29:50 What kind of person takes home somebody else's purchase? put this together in their trailer park, and nothing has the audacity to tell me they're going to deliver it after Halloween.

30:03 I feel like I'm trying to be helpful, and I am being condemned for that.

30:07 You are not helpful.

30:08 You are insane. Something is seriously mentally wrong with you.

30:13 You are right.

30:14 Something is wrong with me.

30:15 The second I got hired by a radio station, I thought, these fools is crazy, boy.

30:20 Hiring Big Rick.

30:22 I don't want radio station.

30:23 What are you talking about?

30:24 The one that your husband, Matt listens to. He's the one who.

30:28 Set you up for this prank phone call.

30:31 Oh, my God.

30:33 He said, you finally got the 12-foot pumpkin in, and you're, like, all excited about it.

30:38 I am literally sweating right now, and I'm about to go take a little drive around to the trailer parks and.

30:45 See who has the skeleton pumpkin king, because I'm.

30:47 Going to kill him.

30:48 Hey, I'm sweating, too.

30:49 Oh, my God.

30:50 I just had to assemble a 12-foot skeleton, boy, and it is scary, by the way.

30:55 Oh, my God. Oh, it's looking at me.

30:59 Oh, my God.

31:00 This one is caused by a demon. This ain't a fake one.

31:03 This is a real one.

31:06 Brooke and Jeffrey's phone taps on the 20s.

31:09 Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

31:13 One of our listeners needs our help today after he found himself in a room full of people who were all shrieking in terror. And all he could think was... Oh my God, I'm in love. I'm in love, I'm in love, and I don't care who knows it.

31:30 Okay.

31:30 That's how he met an incredible woman who's now gone from bewitching him to just ghosting him. That's why he's called on us to help Frankenstein them back together during a special Halloween-themed second date update.

31:45 Right after this.

31:46 Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning, second date update.

31:50 Halloween is nearly upon us.

31:53 And we've been getting a lot of fun, interesting, and frightening date ideas coming from our listeners in their emails.

32:00 Yes!

32:00 This one is from a guy named Sean, who says the first time he met his date, he couldn't see her.

32:07 Oh.

32:08 Whoa, she's got the invisibility cloak from Harry Potter on.

32:12 Or maybe he just had his eyes closed.

32:14 Oh, well, that's less dramatic.

32:16 It's none of that.

32:17 She's not under invisibility cloak. She's not a ghost. It's because it was pitch dark. when they first met.

32:23 That's creepier, Jeff.

32:25 When the lights finally came on, he did not scream at the sight of her. That's a good sign. Let's learn more about it. Sean, welcome to the show, man.

32:34 Hey, guys.

32:35 Thanks for having me.

32:36 Sean, why are you finding random women in the dark, huh?

32:40 It's not as creepy as it sounds.

32:42 I swear.

32:43 Oh, really?

32:45 It's not good when you have to start the story with that sentence.

32:47 Yeah. What dark place did you meet this woman?

32:51 Okay, so a buddy of mine, him and I, we went to this horror film fest. Oh, fun. Yeah, it's like a 48-hour thing. Oh, okay. You know, they got nonstop horror flicks.

33:02 Okay.

33:03 This explains why you couldn't really see her.

33:05 Yeah.

33:06 And some people come dressed up in their costumes and stuff like that. But my buddy and I, we came normal, you know, just normal outfits.

33:14 Oh.

33:15 Yeah, no, we were kind of lame. And on top of that, we were late. So it's like 0 for 2.

33:22 So you walked into the theater when the movie's already going?

33:25 Yeah, we just tried to find the seats as close to the entrance as we could. And I go to plop down in the seat and I stepped in something. Like, I don't know what it was. It was like really sticky. So I looked to the person next to me and I'm like. Maybe it was a soda or something.

33:44 So now you're coming in late to the movie talking on top of it?

33:49 And accusing people next to you of being messy.

33:51 Yeah, when you probably.

33:52 Knocked their drink over.

33:58 These are all really good points.

33:59 Okay. And what does the person next to you say?

34:02 She actually just laughed and said no, but, you know, I wouldn't touch it with your hand.

34:07 Oh, yeah. Okay.

34:09 That's a life lesson right there.

34:11 Yeah. But I don't know. That kind of opened up some banter. Oh, wait.

34:15 This is the girl? The girl you randomly ended up sitting next to?

34:19 Yeah, yeah, this is the girl. And I'm kind of a talker with my buddies during the movies. I'm like that guy. And she was, she was too. And everyone was screaming in the theater. We were watching some like old scary movie. And I'm like, why is everyone so freaked out? Like this movie is old as hell.

34:38 Oh, my God.

34:40 Special effects aren't even good.

34:41 You're kind of a buzzkill. But she likes that, right?

34:45 She's with you on that? Totally with me. And here's the thing. So, obviously, it's really dark in there. I can't see her at all. And then the lights come on.

34:53 Yeah.

34:54 And she was dressed like Wednesday Addams. She was really cute, had pigtails, black outfit. And obviously, I figured out her name.

35:03 Her name was Allie.

35:05 And she was coming to the horror fest just like me with a friend. But her friend didn't show. And so my buddy and I, we were going to stay for the next one. And it started in like an hour. And I was like, well, hey, if you're coming to the next one, which she was also, I was like, let's go get a drink at a bar and kill some time until the next one.

35:24 She third wheeled you and your buddy at the bar.

35:29 Yeah.

35:29 Kind of.

35:30 That's cool, though.

35:31 So she agreed to that?

35:33 She was real cool about it. We met at the bar, and obviously, my buddy and I, we've been friends for years, so he knows the drill. I'm like, look, man, if it's going well, get the hell out of there.

35:43 Wingman, we all know.

35:44 Come on, fake a heart attack. Do something.

35:45 I was thinking just go to the theater earlier, Jack.

35:49 That's not believable. He was late to the first one.

35:53 I don't know.

35:54 My friend's an idiot. So I'm under the table freaking like kicking the guy's leg. I'm like, yo, get a hint.

36:00 Now's your moment.

36:01 Yeah. And basically he comes up with this excuse like he forgot to take his dog out. And it was so obvious and such bad acting.

36:10 Yeah, but that's okay. Don't you think that's okay?

36:12 Yeah, no big deal.

36:13 You know, we get it.

36:14 But it could make it awkward at the table if he's so bad and he's like, oh my gosh, I forgot I own a dog. And also that dog needs to use the bathroom now.

36:24 If she likes this guy, she'd be like, oh my God, so cute. Finally. But if she's not into him, then it's like, no, please.

36:30 Yes.

36:31 I mean, was she picking up on it? Oh, everyone did.

36:34 But she liked it. She was vibing with me. And believe it or not, we ended up, we ditched the movie and just ended up staying talking at the bar for like an hour and a half. It was awesome. And at the end of it, I was like, well, hey, I would love to see you again. And she said the same to me. And so... I got her number and here's the thing. I never heard back again from her ever.

37:03 When you say ever, you make it sound like a really long time. How long is it?

37:07 The work week, five days.

37:09 A work week.

37:10 Oh, wow.

37:10 That does feel like forever.

37:12 I guess so.

37:14 Yeah, I mean, it feels like forever to me when you're replaying everything that happened and all the interaction. I'm like, where did I go wrong? What did I do? Like, you overthink it.

37:22 Did you actually ask.

37:23 Her if she was single? Like, do you know for sure? Because what if she was just like, oh, yeah, some cool dudes to hang out with? Because it doesn't feel date-ish when you're going with two dudes to a.

37:32 Bar, you know?

37:33 Yeah, no, I mean, it didn't come up in conversation, but... I mean, I don't think she would have gone out with me if she was like, I feel like it was pretty obvious that I was flirting.

37:44 Right.

37:44 Especially with your with your buddy with a bad acting for sure.

37:47 Yeah. You know.

37:49 Yeah.

37:49 And then to stay an hour and a half after that.

37:52 Yeah.

37:52 Like, I don't know. I've been racking my brain. trying to think where i went wrong but i don't know i can't figure it out.

37:59 Yeah i mean i rack my brain all the time and nothing happens so let's hope for better results when we come back in forever a song from now and uh try and get you your second date update halloween edition right after this hold on okay.

38:16 Brooke and jeffrey in the morning second date update If you're.

38:20 Just joining us, our listener Sean went on an impromptu date with Wednesday Addams. Or at least a woman who was wearing her costume.

38:29 Yeah, the adult version.

38:30 Yeah, at a horror movie film fest. Her real name is Allie, turns out. And they had a little bit of banter in the theater. Ended up going out to a bar together afterwards where Sean's friend gave one of the worst wingman performances of all time to leave.

38:45 The table was.

38:46 Like shaking from him trying to kick his buddy and get the heck out of there.

38:49 Just so you guys know, it's so obvious to women when you're kicking each other under the table.

38:53 Like that does not go unmissed.

38:55 We are not smooth. But he did get the hint, eventually left, and it gave Sean and Allie a chance to really sit down and talk. for like an hour and a half.

39:04 It sounds awesome. I mean, they even skipped the second movie.

39:07 Yeah, so why is Ali now ignoring him for the past five days? That's what brings Sean to us.

39:14 It is a very Wednesday Addams thing to do.

39:16 Just cold.

39:17 I'm just.

39:17 Do you think maybe she's really sticking to her character then, Sean?

39:22 I don't know. It's hard to tell. I mean, I.

39:26 Yeah.

39:26 Oh, right.

39:27 Right. Yeah.

39:29 Listen up a little bit, buddy. We're good.

39:31 Yeah.

39:31 It's OK.

39:32 OK.

39:32 We're going to give Ali a call here and see if she answers and hopefully can explain why she's been gone for almost an entire business week.

39:39 Man.

39:39 Such a weird way to describe it.

39:41 All right.

39:41 Sounds good.

39:41 Thank you, guys.

39:42 That's right, because it was five days.

39:43 Yeah.

39:43 In Sean's mind, he said that was like forever.

39:46 Forever.

39:46 I mean, it does feel like that when you can't stop thinking about somebody, you know?

39:50 It's true. I cannot get her out of my mind.

39:53 Cute.

39:54 Aw, that is nice. I'm going to tell her that when we call her. So here we go. Dude, it may work, actually.

39:59 I know he's joking, but.

40:00 Let's see. I'm going to dial her number right now.

40:09 Hello?

40:10 Hey, is this Allie?

40:12 This is Allie.

40:13 Who's this? Hey, Allie, this is a radio show called Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning.

40:18 And we are excited to talk to you. Is that not right?

40:22 That's true.

40:24 Wait, why do you want to talk to me?

40:26 Because we're doing this segment that I don't know if you're familiar with. It's called a second date update. And we're trying to get some answers for a listener that you were kind of on an impromptu date with not too long ago.

40:38 I don't know.

40:42 She's like, more information, please.

40:43 Yeah. I'll give you a little more. His name is Sean. And you met him at a horror movie film festival.

40:50 Oh, my God. Like Sean of the Dead.

40:51 Exactly.

40:52 Yeah.

40:54 I remember Sean.

40:56 Good.

40:56 Cool.

40:56 All right. What did you think about Sean?

41:00 I mean, when we first met, I thought he was really funny.

41:04 Okay.

41:05 And cute. And he was also with a friend.

41:07 And I also thought the friend was cute.

41:09 You were pleasantly surprised by who you were sitting next to.

41:12 Did you say the other friend was also cute? Did I hear that?

41:16 Yeah, they were both cute.

41:17 Yeah, that's good.

41:18 Bingo. I mean, yeah.

41:19 You are who you hang out with, they say, so.

41:21 Yeah, okay. You're all a bunch of cuties.

41:24 Why is that weird to you guys that she said that?

41:25 I don't think that's weird. Maybe the interest was not directed where we thought it was.

41:29 Yeah.

41:30 I mean, we don't know. All we've heard is that Sean is a little bit sad that, It's been five days since you guys hung out and he hasn't heard anything from you.

41:39 Okay.

41:39 Well, let me tell you why.

41:41 Yes, please.

41:43 Oh my God.

41:43 Is it a funny word? It sounds like a funny story.

41:46 I mean, I didn't think it was that funny, but we ended up not going to that second movie. And then when we were leaving, he just kind of said something that was off kilter to me.

41:59 Wait, he said one thing and that ruined all of it.

42:03 Yeah.

42:04 Mm hmm.

42:05 I've definitely done that on this show before, but what did he say?

42:07 Good point.

42:08 I'm trying to imagine what could he have said to ruin all that?

42:10 Yeah. So when we were leaving, you know, we had talked about maybe getting together again and obviously we exchanged numbers and he was like, okay, like, bye, see you Wednesday. And I was like, wait, no, we didn't talk about getting together on Wednesday. And he was like, oh no, like, your costume, like your Wednesday from Wednesday.

42:31 Yeah. Yeah. He said that to us. See you Wednesday.

42:36 Yeah. Right. Yeah. He said that.

42:38 And I was confused because I wasn't wearing a costume.

42:42 Oh, Oh, Wednesday. Adam is like the cutest of all the.

42:48 Dead people on the show. The closest to death.

42:53 She's adorable.

42:54 Wait, why, why was it offensive?

42:56 I mean, one, I wasn't wearing a costume and he thought I was. And I guess he thinks that I cut my own bangs and like look like I came out of an orphanage or like a weird house.

43:06 I don't think you should be insulted by that. Wednesday Addams is adorable. And it's like a cute goth look. Yeah.

43:13 Didn't you like say like, hey, by the way, I'm not in costume.

43:17 No, I didn't.

43:18 I was just like, oh, this man just thinks I'm dressed up in a costume and he doesn't realize that this is my like normal style.

43:25 So he's probably not into it.

43:27 Well, I don't know. I understand why maybe you thought what you're thinking, but I don't think Sean meant it like that.

43:34 And he's totally he's totally into you.

43:36 I mean, he told us like the lights came on and he thought you were so cute.

43:41 Yeah, in costume, in what he thought was a costume.

43:44 No way!

43:45 He didn't say it like that, though.

43:47 No, because he's judging her on a sliding scale of costume prettiness.

43:50 Exactly.

43:52 It does not look like she cuts her own bangs.

43:54 I kind of see your offensiveness. I can see why you got upset.

43:57 I see it, but I think it's a coincidence because you're at this horror fest. There's a lot of people around you that are dressed up, and it's just a simple misunderstanding on his part.

44:06 He was like, see you later, witch.

44:08 Yeah, he's not judging your outfit.

44:10 There's worse things to be thought of in costume as.

44:12 And why are we speaking for him when Sean is on the phone right now and can speak for himself? Because you need to know he's listening to this, Allie.

44:19 He's on the phone?

44:21 Yeah.

44:21 Hey, hi, Allie. How are you?

44:24 Oh, my God.

44:25 Hi, Sean.

44:26 Oh, my God.

44:26 I didn't know you were listening.

44:28 Okay, so just to clarify, it for sure was not a costume.

44:32 Oh, my God.

44:33 That is not what you want to.

44:35 Come up with.

44:36 Sounds rude.

44:37 Sean coming in cold.

44:38 Yeah, exactly what I'm saying.

44:40 Look, I don't understand. I mean, we were at a horror fest. Everyone else was dressed up. I guess I just assumed, you know.

44:48 Sean, I think the word that you're looking for is I'm sorry. Yes.

44:51 Where is the.

44:52 Heartfelt apology and the embarrassment, Sean?

44:55 Yeah.

44:55 Well, have you guys ever, like, come up to a woman and said, oh, my God, what do you do? And she wasn't pregnant. No. No. Are you that person, Sean? Is that who you are?

45:06 No, no, I've.

45:08 Never done that, but I mean, I've seen it done before.

45:11 That is a terrible analogy.

45:12 He's trying to make it super relatable to everybody.

45:15 I just didn't appreciate being called that, like a teenage angst horror character when this is how I dress and like this is my normal attire.

45:23 So yeah, I found it off-putting.

45:26 Yeah.

45:26 Well, wait, so you wear like black all the time? Like all black?

45:31 Yeah, I wear black.

45:33 How about, Oh my God, I thought you were so cute and I'm still really attracted to you.

45:39 I am.

45:40 I am. I thought you were so cute. I still are. I think, I think you're cute.

45:45 That's nice.

45:46 Okay. Oh man, this is really hard. I don't know what else to say. I just, I like you. I wanted to go on another date. I didn't mean to offend you. I thought you're cute.

45:56 You know, and do you still think that knowing now that she wasn't in a costume?

46:02 Well, to be honest with you, I don't really think I should answer that. What? Because, I mean, I think she was in the costume. I just think she doesn't want to admit it.

46:12 Okay.

46:12 You're doubling down.

46:13 You think she's lying about not being dressed up in costume?

46:17 Shauna, I just think you're digging a hole for yourself right now because no one else thought that I was in costume for.

46:23 Like, I don't know what to tell you. Well, hold on a second. My buddy, James, who, you know, you remember James, we went to the bar with him. He literally, he sent me a GIF with Wednesday Adams afterwards. And I was like, dude, yes. She looks exactly like that.

46:39 He says, Jeff, that's a red flag.

46:44 Maybe, maybe they're just saying you look like Jenna Ortega, who is like, she is so beautiful.

46:49 Yeah. Yeah.

46:55 When she's in the show Wednesday, she's playing a character and she's wearing a costume and I'm not. And if Sean can't believe when I have said repeatedly on this call, like what else will he not believe me on if we go out on another date?

47:09 I think the best way to prove to Sean once and for all that it's not a costume is to go out with him one more time and dress the way that you normally dress. And that'll show him.

47:19 You know what?

47:20 I will say yes to going out with James because he's cuter.

47:25 What?

47:26 The same thing that Sean did.

47:28 I would like to try my luck with James.

47:29 He tested first. Okay.

47:32 Well, it sounds like she's shifted her interest and now she's more into your friend. Yeah.

47:37 Okay, well, you know what? I'm the only one who has his number. So I don't know how you're going to get in touch with him. Unless it's through me! Actually, Sean, that's where you're wrong.

47:46 When you went to the restroom, he gave me his number.

47:50 Oh!

47:50 That's not so much of a wingman there, is it?

47:53 Wow.

47:54 Wait, what?

47:56 Are you serious?

47:57 Well.

47:59 Okay. Well, congratulations, Allie. Looks like we got you another date.

48:06 Amazing.

48:07 Are you kidding me?

48:08 You guys were supposed to help me.

48:11 Hey, it's not us. It's your friend's fault. Get mad at him.

48:13 And you know what? Isn't it nice when your friends are happy?

48:16 No!

48:17 Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

48:22 We're getting a lot of texts in 78592 from people saying his buddy did him dirty. getting her number while he was in the bathroom.

48:31 I mean, you know, some dudes are wingmen and some dudes are the opposite. Also probably why he wasn't leaving right away.

48:36 Yeah. I mean, it doesn't sound like they really talked about it.

48:40 For sure.

48:40 No, that's a good point. Usually there's like a hidden or like a text even.

48:44 Like, hey, brother, you know. Yeah, but it does bring me to this. Am I counting this one as a win, even though it's not with the guy who originally called in?

48:51 Yeah, sure.

48:52 I mean, absolutely.

48:52 It's a win for her.

48:53 Definitely. They're both cute. Do I feel good about it? I shouldn't, but the answer is still also yes.

49:00 All right.

49:00 Because sometimes a win is a win. That's right.

49:03 He had a hard time apologizing too, Jeff.

49:05 He did.

49:05 So, you know, whatever.

49:06 And we can't keep hovering around a 15% success rate on this segment. We need a better percentage.

49:12 And if we're going to take cheap victories along the way with friends and family members, I say let's do it.

49:17 Let's go. Big victory today with your Halloween-themed second date update. Go check out all of ours online, wherever you find your podcasts. You can find them at Brooke and Jeffrey.

49:27 Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

49:31 The spooky season is here.

49:33 Yay!

49:34 I don't know about you guys, but my schedule is completely booked for the next few days.

49:39 Dude, seriously.

49:40 We are overbooked in our family, too.

49:42 I've got all these big themed parties. Is that what you're talking about?

49:46 Oh, no.

49:47 No?

49:47 Like, tonight is the sexy orthopedic surgeon and ghoulish gynos party.

49:51 Oh.

49:51 Wow, that's very specific.

49:53 I know, it is kind of oddly specific.

49:54 I've never gone to see a ghoulish gyno before.

49:57 That sounds kind of fun. I also got invited to a racy red riding hoods and provocative little piggies party. Wow. Very specific, my friend group is with their party themes.

50:09 I had kids' soccer games coming up, but, you know, same.

50:11 So I'll probably have to make a quick appearance there. But I definitely can't miss the loose lumberjacks and asexual forest axers party.

50:19 Oh yeah, that's going to be a really good one.

50:22 I can't even follow who's invited to that.

50:24 I think everybody is.

50:25 I don't really know, but it's going to be a big weekend for me and for everybody. Before I start trying on my costumes, I really need to get in the spirit by singing a brand new Halloween themed song of the week.

50:39 Hopefully it's simpler than those parts.

50:40 Get your asexual forest axe energy going for my song of the week coming up right after this. It is time for my song of the week. It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

50:52 All right.

50:54 Staying in character. And I've got a list in my hands of people's biggest Halloween pet peeves.

51:01 Ooh.

51:02 So let's start with adults who dress up their dogs but get offended when the dog bites.

51:07 And eats at their costume.

51:09 Ah, yeah. Yeah.

51:10 What do you expect is going to happen?

51:12 10 out of 10.

51:13 Or we could spotlight the house that gives off boxes of raisins.

51:16 Ooh.

51:16 Might as well just turn the porch light off, because you will be egged. And then there's certain people, some in this room, who steal candy from their own children and call it a Halloween candy tax.

51:29 Excuse me, that's for their own health?

51:32 Yeah, sure. Kids won't end up in therapy over this years from now.

51:36 You're welcome, Dennis of the world.

51:38 But you know what's the biggest thing to stick in my craw? And I'm not just even saying my personal craw.

51:44 Oh.

51:45 I'm not a craw.

51:46 The colloquial craw.

51:48 Okay.

51:49 The craw is like mouth, right?

51:50 I don't know.

51:51 I have no idea.

51:51 I think it's a mouth. Anyway, the biggest issue I have is there's a lot of people, and I know that people agree thanks to our awkward call that we did earlier.

51:59 Yes.

52:00 We got a huge response from listeners who cannot stand the rules of their homeowners associations around the holidays.

52:07 Oh.

52:08 That blew up.

52:09 Look, I'm totally sure there's probably some very cool-headed, common-sense individual who's overseeing it all, saying.

52:15 No hanging bodies above mailbox height.

52:17 That's the standard.

52:18 All torture racks have to be three feet away from the sidewalk. But if you don't believe me, it literally happened on this show when one HOA president restricted the size of the candy bars being handed out to trick-or-treaters in their neighborhoods so it'd be more fair for everybody.

52:33 Yeah.

52:34 Boo!

52:35 Exactly, Brooke. And I know it struck a nerve, which is why I had to sing about it this week.

52:41 You're darn tootin'..

52:43 All the homeowners associations that overstep on Halloween. And so instead of doing the hit song by Ariana Grande, I Hate That I Made You Love Me, it's Young Jeffries' My Lame HOA Just Docked Me. So I'm going to point when I'm ready.

52:59 Here we go.

53:11 My yard comes alive on Halloween.

53:17 I'm a spooky MacGyver.

53:21 You'll find entrails of slime. My blood slip and slide. is just Kool-Aid dye.

53:29 Oh, God, here comes the HOA to rule.

53:34 My 12-foot plastic ghoul is blocking their solar farm.

53:40 And they measure every tomb.

53:42 Boo-hoo.

53:44 It says in bylaw two dead tenants aren't approved.

53:49 So my, my, my.

53:51 Lame HOA just talked me.

53:56 Guess they're anti-fake homicide.

54:00 Was my, my slasher display too gory?

54:05 Cause I used real knives and real eyes, eyes.

54:11 What's their problem now?

54:15 Just brought the scale out to weigh all my candy. Cause if kids eat.

54:24 A ton, bring home prices down, a block full of chubbies from my.

54:30 Speakers I will play the tunes of Thriller at volumes that wake the dead from afar, citing section 42.

54:43 No hauntings Afternoon without a Permit due So my, my, my Lame HOA Just find me.

54:56 My pumpkins Outside were too Sexualized, yes I I carved up their faces To sultry Gave them bed Room eyes Fishnet thighs.

55:11 Eyes Of all of the monstrous things that I bought at the store Trust me that none of them slay like HOA tyrant Elianor Just riding around in her golf cart and measuring my decor The wicked witch of Zillow My, my fog.

55:34 Machine's way too smoky It wafted by my property line, and now I'm fine. Said that my hearse was too.

55:46 Bulky, feeling dead inside. Yes, my, my, my lame HOA just docked me.

55:58 With more fees and fines than Spirit Airlines. That's why my latest decor is Eleanor.

56:07 See, with a stake through her eye. Hallows night, night.

56:17 Yay!

56:17 Yay!

56:19 Happy Halloween, everybody. Happy Halloween.

56:21 I don't know if I should say yay or boo.

56:23 Yeah. They're all up in our business. Just let us enjoy Halloween how we want to enjoy it.

56:28 But how did you get fishnets on your pumpkin?

56:31 Oh, I'll show you. They are sexy.

56:34 I hope you cleared this song with our HOA.

56:37 Actually, I didn't. We're probably being fined for this. So, whoops.

56:41 My bad.

56:42 But that was your song of the week. You can text me to 78592. Tell us what you thought about it. We're going to post it up on our socials, on our TikTok, on YouTube, on Insta, all of it. You can find it, Brooke and Jeffrey, and share it with somebody else who absolutely hates their HOA.

56:55 Yeah!

56:56 All right. Happy Halloween. We're going to do more Halloween content right after this.

57:02 Win!

57:02 Roots!

57:03 Box!

57:04 Woo!

57:08 It is trivia time on our special, big, spooky, boo-ha-ha, Halloween haul of tears and scares. Trick or treat yourself to an extravaganza apocalypse show, Galloween.

57:20 I thought you were kidding about that title the other day, but it sounds like you.

57:24 Trademarked it.

57:25 Sorry.

57:26 It's here to stay. And we're all in our outfits right now, but I'm not going to spoil it. You need to go to our Instagram or our TikTok. It's all going to be up there, and you can comment, because I think mine is the best.

57:38 Of course you do. You also think that title's good, so questionable.

57:42 Two wins, Jeff.

57:43 You're going to keep the wins going with today's honored guest, brand new player who listens to us on the radio, on the apps, and through the small gap in Brooke's bathroom window.

57:54 Her name is Siobhan. Siobhan, welcome to the show.

57:58 Hey!

57:59 Siobhan, are you the one with the brown eyes that I see?

58:01 Yes, I am. I only see.

58:04 One eye, so maybe, but.

58:06 I hope you're a vampire right now so you can tell people, Siobhan, don't suck your blood!

58:11 Oh.

58:12 Okay.

58:12 Yeah, thank you so much. Siobhan likes it.

58:14 Brooke doesn't like any of my jokes. I love the listeners. They always laugh.

58:16 Well, she's been drinking, so it works.

58:18 Siobhan, good job. Let's get to the game. You got 30 seconds to answer as many questions as possible.

58:23 If you don't know and you can say pass, but you have to beat Brooke outright if you want to win. Are you ready?

58:27 Yes.

58:27 All right. And remember, every question is going to be Halloween themed in honor of the holiday. So let's do it. Your time starts now. In the Friday the 13th film franchise, what's the first name of the villain, Michael or Jason?

58:42 Jason.

58:43 Which Midwest state produces the most pumpkins?

58:47 Pass.

58:48 Which Friends actress appeared in the Scream franchise?

58:52 Pass.

58:53 In which European country would you find the region of Transylvania?

58:58 Amsterdam.

58:59 The witches from Hocus Pocus are all related, known as the Blank Sisters.

59:04 Sandwiches.

59:05 In Germany, which month do they hold Oktoberfest?

59:09 October.

59:11 Bold guess there, Siobhan. We'll see if that works out for you. Let's bring Brooke back into the studio now.

59:17 And Siobhan. I'm hearing it right now, and it says it on my screener. You've got two boys, apparently, ages six and nine. You're going to be trick-or-treating with them this year, and I've heard from our producer you're doing a family costume.

59:30 Oh, that's fine.

59:31 I'm hoping it's the cast of Below Deck Season 4 on Bravo. Please tell me it's that.

59:37 No, we're all ghost faces.

59:39 Oh, family of ghost faces. Okay.

59:43 How are you going to be able to tell each other apart?

59:46 Well, I'm going to be like the glitter one.

59:47 My youngest is the devil, of course. And then my husband and my oldest are going to be the basic one.

59:54 Oh, that's kind of cool. You're like, get original, okay?

59:57 You're like a bright pink one.

59:58 Yeah.

59:59 No, purple. Oh, purple.

1:00:00 I like that, actually.

1:00:03 We went to Spirit Halloween, the show did, and Alexis was really thrilled with all of the bejeweled weapons.

1:00:09 That were available as well.

1:00:10 I mean, if you're going to murder, murder in style. That's right.

1:00:14 A little sass, you know.

1:00:15 All right, Brooke, it is your turn.

1:00:17 Are you ready? Yes.

1:00:18 Keep in mind, we're doing all Halloween-themed questions. Oh. Weird, I know.

1:00:22 In my mind.

1:00:23 Why'd you ruin it? She wouldn't have seen that coming.

1:00:25 I know.

1:00:26 Shocker. But your time starts now. In the Friday the 13th film franchise, what's the first name of the villain, Michael or Jason?

1:00:34 Jason.

1:00:34 Jason.

1:00:35 Which Midwest state produces the most pumpkins?

1:00:39 Ohio.

1:00:39 Which Friends actress appeared in the Scream franchise?

1:00:42 Courtney Cox.

1:00:43 In which European country would you find the region of Transylvania?

1:00:47 Transylvania.

1:00:48 Romania?

1:00:49 The witches from Hocus Pocus are all related, known as the Blank Sisters.

1:00:54 Oh, the.

1:00:55 Pass.

1:00:56 Forget.

1:00:56 Oh, Brooke.

1:00:57 Ouch.

1:00:57 In Germany, which month do they hold Oktoberfest?

1:01:00 September.

1:01:02 Oh.

1:01:02 No, that'd be Septemberfest, silly.

1:01:04 I know.

1:01:04 That was weird.

1:01:05 What sisters?

1:01:06 We'll find out in a second.

1:01:07 Let's go to the scoreboard first to see what you both did with our own Jose.

1:01:10 Bring out your date.

1:01:14 Bring out Jadid.

1:01:16 What a classic.

1:01:18 Siobhan, you got two correct today.

1:01:21 Yay.

1:01:22 At least I got something. That's pretty good.

1:01:25 The boys are laughing.

1:01:27 Good job, mom.

1:01:28 Yeah.

1:01:29 And Brooke, four correct.

1:01:33 Sorry, Siobhan. The boys are still trolling you in the background.

1:01:37 Brooke, cut you down on Halloween. Let's go over the answers. In the Friday the 13th film franchise, the first name of the villain is Jason, Jason Voorhees.

1:01:46 Yeah.

1:01:48 Midwest state that produces the most pumpkins every year would be Illinois. Five hundred and thirty three million pounds of pumpkins come from Illinois every year. It's more than the next four states combined. The Friends actress that appeared in the Scream franchise was Courtney Cox. You would find the region of Transylvania in the country of Romania. The witches from Hocus Pocus are known as the Sanderson sisters.

1:02:12 I was like Samson, Swanson.

1:02:14 Sanderson sisters. Winifred, Sarah, and Mary. And in Germany, they hold Oktoberfest in the month of September. Yay! It is so weird to me.

1:02:23 Why?

1:02:23 Call it Septemberfest.

1:02:25 Weird anyway Siobhan I'm sorry it was not enough to win today but just for playing we're giving you two tickets to see Teddy Swims perform at Climate Pledge Arena on Thursday November 5th Nice.

1:02:37 Thank you so much.

1:02:37 I've been waiting to play with you guys forever.

1:02:39 Oh, yeah. I'm glad you got to do it finally.

1:02:41 Yes.

1:02:42 All right.

1:02:42 And remember, boys, mom gets half the candy.

1:02:45 I know.

1:02:45 I know.

1:02:45 Yes. You're listening. What up, kiddos?

1:02:50 He's ready for it. Hey, Siobhan, thank you for playing. You and your boys have a happy Halloween and come back to do it again soon. We're going to do Winbrook's Buck same time on Monday.
