Hello, America's sweetheart Johnny Knoxville here. I want to tell you about my new true crime podcast, Crimeless, Hillbilly Heist,

from smartless media, campside media, and big money players. It's a wild tale about a gang of high-functioning nitwits who somehow pulled off America's third largest cash heist. Kind of like Robin Hood except for the part where he steals from rich and gives to the poor. I'm not that generous. It's a damn near inspiring true story for anyone out there who's ever shot for the moon, then just totally muffed up the landing. They stole $17 million and had not bought a ticket to help him escape.

So we're saying, like, oh God, what do we do? What do you do? That was dumb. People do not follow my example. Listen to Crimless, Hillbilly Heist on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. I live below a cult leader and I fear I've angered her. Wait a minute, Sophia. How do you know she's a cult leader? Well, Dakota, luckily it's I'm not afraid of a scary story week on the OK Storytime podcast.

So we'll find out soon. This person writes, My neighbor has been blasting music every day and doing dirt rituals. And now my ceiling is collapsing. I try to report them, but things keep getting weirder. I think they might be part of a cult. Hold up. A real life cult?

And what is a dirt ritual? No clue, Dakota. To find out how it ends. Listen to the OK Storytime podcast on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Two rich young Americans move to the Costa Rican jungle to start over, but one of them will end up dead and the other tried for murder three times.

everything spins out of control listen to hell in heaven on the iHeart radio app Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts It's here our Halloween show Oh my God, you're in for a treat A little bit of tricks I mean we got it all

We got a brand new second date coming up We've got of course our costume reveal We're playing a little Halloween edition of Riffing Around, and Jeff's song is just iconic. Yes, he went hard for it. He got so into it. Yeah, but I'm glad you're here. I really am. And we're going to start off with a comment on our text board.

I know we're going to get a lot of comments after this show. Yes, I saw this get texted in today, and they said, good morning. I know this probably won't get red, wrong, but my wife and I are going as Brooke and Jeffrey for Halloween. What? I have a half-saved beard with decorations on one side, and my wife is wearing red lipstick with a blonde wig and thick glasses. Hey, there we go. My shirt says Jeffrey and my wife

says Brooke. That's right. We'll be walking around with a microphone during our son's trick-or-treating and asking people, what's you doing at this Halloween trick-or-treating event. Oh, that's so cute. People will totally think we're crazy.

It should be loads of fun. Yes. And way to represent that of stigmatism for me. You know? I appreciate that. You got to bump into stuff a little bit too. Yeah. That's right.

Send us your picks for sure. Yes. At Briggott, Jeffrey, and enjoy the brand new full hour right now. Happy Halloween, everybody. The day has finally come. It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning, and we are just minutes away

from revealing our morning group costume. No, Jeff, I can see you. I know what you are. Yes, to the listeners. Most of them, I'm assuming, can't see us unless they're peeking through the windows of the studio. How are you looking into the studio? I don't just say, this is what I'll say,

most effort put in by every single member of this show. I am very very proud of us this year. And I said a high bar, a high bar. Yeah, Brooke always goes all out. We literally had to start the show late because Brooke took two hours to get her costume ready. Worth it, though. But this is the one day, like out of any day, if you're ever going to go check out our social media at Brooke and Jeffrey, this is the one that's probably worth your while.

Yes. In fact, maybe the pictures are already up right now, and I would hate to blow the surprise, but if you have to go look there, right, you can, you know, go check it out. Did you tell them it's at Brooke and Jeffrey? At Brooke and Jeffrey. There we go. I can sure that's it. And I know earlier in the week I gave everybody a hint about what our group costumes would be, but maybe I should give just one more for the listeners before we reveal.

I'll just say, you think Brooks mean in normal life? Oh, wait. That's all you're going to get. That's not even a hint. I'm not mean. That was more big of a joke. Now, look. I know why I ever been mean to you?

Exactly. Look, we've got a Halloween party here at work, and I think, Jose, apparently you're going to be the judge. of something, right? Is it for the office costume contest? Or are you judging who gets the most food poisoning from the chili cookoff? I will be judging the chili cookoff. I'm eating a bunch of random people's food. Oh, I heard there's

only four chilies being brought. Oh, there's only four? Oh my God, I thought it was going to be like ten. No effort from the office. Or that many people have been laid off. That's all so true. That's a whole staff. Alexis, are you judging with him? Apparently. Apparently. We heard it taste spicy food?

Yeah, I know. What are you going to be looking for specifically. Which one is the least spicy? Least spice. I've never heard. It's like which has the least amount of flames. I have chili maybe once a year maybe. I'm not really sure what it tastes like. Well, clearly they picked the best person to judge the contest. That's good.

I just realized I forgot something in my costume. Oh, you want to drive home? We got to do it all over again. No, it's in the other room. Oh, okay. I'll fix it later for the pictures. All right. Fix it for the pictures, but our Halloween show is underway. We've got special Halloween phone taps.

second date update song of the week and a bunch of other spooky stuff playing for you so stay with us all morning long and again we're going to reveal what each of our costumes are in just a few minutes but first we got to get to the shock collar question of the day and send it over to our costumed digital producer jake who i don't think is on camera but you'll see him later go for it jake this is the day when creepy things naturally occur. The fog slowly rolls in. The jack-a-lanterns start to flicker a little, and Alexis's costume quickly becomes less and less work-appropriate. I got a non-PG one in my bag for later. Oh, okay. I thought he was going to cut that one.

After the chili cook-up. Everybody expects weird stuff to go down on Halloween, but sometimes it's so weird that people end up in the news for bizarre and stupid things you'd never expect. Ooh. Yeah. Normally, you could just assume it was happening in Florida. But today, freaky events can take place anywhere at any time, and that's where to celebrate the most frightening news day of the year, we're doing a special Halloween headlines edition of Plenty of 20. Let's go. Now, you say number 1 through 20,

I'll read you a bizarre Halloween headline from somewhere around the country. You have to just decide if I treated you to a real story or tricked you with a fake one. She what you did there. For today, we're going to go with boo. or boo who? Boo is real. Boo-hoo, I made it up.

Okay. Let's start with the woman who gets ghosted every Halloween by her own mummy because Barb's got to get her drink on. That's Alexis. Her costume's always hotter than mine. 10.

Alexis, in 2010, a Florida neighborhood hired a professional zombie to scare trick-or-treaters, but he got drunk and refused to leave after midnight and was arrested. Is that a boo or a boo-hoo? I mean, you see when

how it made Christmas people hire the Grinches that scare kids and it seriously backfires. That's why I feel like this would happen. Or just the same is that backfired. I don't know. I think there was a dead giveaway. He said drunk by midnight. If it was Florida, it would be noon. Yeah.

You're a little late. He didn't say it didn't start early. It could have been an all day thing. Okay. That's fair. So that's why I'm going to say boo. Alexis says boo. Oh.

You were right to. We made it up. I think that bitch scared a lot of people. Yeah. Please pull over if you're listening. Brooke, it's your turn. Okay, well, 13. All right.

For the day, you know. Brooke in 2017, a Florida man tried to rob a bank wearing a full skeleton costume. But he forgot his mask. So the teller recognized him instantly as his own brother. Is that story a boo or a boo-hoo? It's interesting because you'd just be like, dude, Chad, come on. Man, we've talked about this. You can't pull this off.

Yeah. I mean, there's always one disappointing brother in the family, so I'm going to say boo. Brooke says boo. Hey! It is 100% real. Jose, we're on to you 10 and 13 are off the board. Let's go, 12. Jose, in 2017, a guy in a Tucson neighborhood wearing a clown costume kept trying to juggle chainsaws while handing out candy.

That's not easy to do. No. Cops were called and found out two of the chainsaws were a prop, but One was real. No. He was arrested. Is this new story, boo or boo? Oh, my gosh. The optics of juggling chainsaws.

Be like, reach in kids, time and right. That's like chainsaw roulette with yourself. Like, one of these is real. I can chop a limel. I would say my cousin used to juggle chainsaws. Oh, wow. So it's not that impressive anymore. I mean, he's got three real ones.

Oh. Oh. Well, not for hearing that. I got to say this is real. It's boo. Jose says boo. Oh. Dry your tears.

That is a boo-hoo. We did make that one up. Jeffrey, it's Halloween. Thank you. Yeah. We're doing Halloween headlines. Just want to make sure you knew. Okay.

I need a number. I'm going to go eight. Eight. All right. Jeffrey, this story happened in 2015. A San Francisco man dressed up as a vampire. And then got stuck on his own roof while trying to dramatically descend to scare trick-or-treaters.

Hey. The fire department had to be called to untangle his wires from the chimney and free him. Is this story a boo or a boo? You're saying this happened in San Francisco. I feel like the tech nerds of San Francisco would have figured out the police system. Some sort of high-tech thing. I thought you're going to say we're obviously scared of heights. Like it seems like something that tech nerds, like they've never been on a ladder.

Okay. I'm going to follow Brooke's logic here. She is the queen of Halloween. So I'm going to say that is boo. Jeffrey says boo. No. I'm sorry. Both up today.

That's a boo-hoo. And that means Brooke has won today's edition of Plenty of Twenty of Twenty. Evil and that's a hint to her costume. That's right. Evil prevails once again. Brooke wins the Halloween shock collar. So she gets to choose who gets shocked.

They're going to be singing the Ghostbusters theme song. Who's it going to be, Brooke? I just feel like the first person that got it wrong should be the first person. Really? Who was that? Alexis! If there's something strange in your neighborhood, who are you going to call?

Ghostbusters! There you go. Oh, no, my makeup's cracking. I can't love. That's a normal day for me. I know. I just never said that before. Anyway, that is your shock caller, Halloween question of the day.

We've got so much more Halloween content coming your way. Halloween phones have second date updates the whole show. Happy Halloween. Check out, go follow us on our socials right now at Brooke and Jeffrey. We're going to do a phone tap Halloween edition coming up right after this. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning, and it's finally here our Halloween show extravaganza. Everybody is dressed in costume, and you can go to our socials at Brooke and Jeffrey if you want to see him for yourself.

But instead of just coming out and telling you what we all are, we're going to challenge you the listener to figure it out. As we go around the room really quick and act out each of our characters. Alexis, we got to go quick. You're going to be first. Act it out. Oh, Dalmatians.

I love the fur. I'm going to turn it into a nice fashion statement. And people will judge me because it's unethical. Alexis is herself this year. Brooke, we've waited almost two hours for you to come out with your costume. So let's hear your impression. There are some makeup issues.

Okay, there are some makeup issues. but... Let's hear it. It's what I do. It's what I live for to help unfortunate Murfolk like yourself. Oh, I like it.

It's not too obvious. Paul, souls with nothing left to turn to. She's a 40-year chain smoker. I thought she was Ursula, but I guess I was wrong. Jose? On her 16th birthday, she will prick her finger with a spindle.

Yay! That's really, that's her most. That's good. That's good. She doesn't talk a lot. She just is pretty. No, she's scary, though. That's Maleficent.

If people couldn't figure that one out. Maleficanth. I felt like I was watching the movie. It was so good. For me, Peter Pan, if I could only find his secret layer of Lost Boys that I'd be the happiest Pirates in the world.

That is not a direct movie quote. Oh, it's not? I would have tossed a little of myself in there, too. Do you think people guessed were the... The Disney villains! Yeah. We're Disney villains. Everyone is a dip.

I'm Captain Hook. Everyone's dressed like a different character. Producer Boyd is dressed as the Oogie Boogie Guy from Nightmare before Christmas. Digital Jake is Jafar from Aladdin. You should see Jake's mustache. Editor Ashley, she's the queen of hearts from Alice in Wonderland. And our technical director, Ashton, I feel like we've got to at least hear you try your character. Can you try it?

Long live the king. This is Skar! That is so good. It's like a 12-year-old, actually did. I loved it. I love it. The cadence was perfect. The Scar from Lion King. So we have our show going already.

We have videos that we've been taken up on our socials at Brooke and Jeffrey. You could see all of us in our costumes. You can finally see us. Don't zoom in on my makeup. I'm not a makeup artist. Just look from far away, please. Don't call it out, Brooke. You look great.

We got more Halloween-themed content, all show-long. The laser stories coming up right after this. It's a special Halloween edition of laser stories today. We're creatively twisting this entire segment on its head and calling it werewolf stories. Wow, big twist from zombie stories last year. I'm scared, Jeff. Where instead of lasers, we're replacing them with bloodthirsty werewolves.

Oh, God, why is the moon out right now? That was intense. This is cutting-edge radio, people. If we don't win some kind of innovative radio pioneer award for this, we're never going to win. That's true. All the dogs are listening, that's for sure. Thank God. Let's dive in with your first werewolf story.

Okay. Out of Plano, Texas, and what I'm about to tell you is real. This is not made up. Someone's pet monkey got loose inside a Spirit Halloween store. Stopping. Seriously. I would have thought it was like a decoration. I'm like, these things are realistic now.

You would want to bring the pet monkey along to see what the pet monkey wants to be for Halloween. Totally fair. This monkey named peanut butter spent more than 30 minutes swinging from rafters and poles, crashing into displays and in general causing a whole lot of chaos everywhere it went. It looks like you're going to be a Karen for Halloween. Thanks, Jeff. The first spirit employees didn't know what to do. so they just kept on working.

And the customers were still allowed to come in and shop. Okay. According to one witness, they weren't sure it was real because most things in spirit aren't. Yeah, but most things don't look real either. Yeah. They have some crazy, expensive ones that are super real. At what point does it start flinging poo?

Well, apparently there was one dead giveaway. It was wearing a diaper. Oh, thank God. That is actually a benefit if it's swinging above your head. So eventually, Peanut Butter's owner was able to bribe it down. with a cookie and regain control of it. Cucies for peace.

Officers say no humans were in danger, although if you did attempt to purchase the monkey, pointing to it up in the rafters and asking if they had any more like it in the back. Yeah. You could be curious George for Halloween. That was a werewolf story.

Your next werewolf story is out of Marble, Vermont. That werewolf likes pop music? Yeah. A guy woke up around 3.30 a.m. yesterday and heard some noises in his spare bedroom. And when he went to check it out, he found it was straight out of a nightmare. No. A random clown had broken into his house and was fast asleep in the bed. See? I told you clowns aren't for bad, you guys. He just wanted a nap.

Oh, he's sleepy the clown. That's just a terrifying thought. Okay. When he gasped out loud, the clown sat up and told the man to close the doors. get more shut-eye. Oh. I thought he's going to get up and pie him in the face and run. No, instead, the homeowner called the cops.

Oh, yeah. Oh, I bet he got left by his little clown buddies who all piled into the car without us. Could it fit? Well, police showed up and found 43-year-old Sean Baker sitting on the toilet in his full clown outfit. He's just having a day. He was better. And here's a shocker. He also happened to have cocaine on him.

You didn't see that coming. coming. I was going for a more low-end drug for the clown. Yeah, and he was arrested for unlawful trespassing and drug possession. Is that how the clowns get their white face? Surprisingly, it wasn't the only clown who got arrested that night. In a nearby town, one named Soapie tried to hold up a mini-mart, but got so drunk, he vomited on the cashier instead. Oh, man. You need some soapy.

He would have kept it clean. Not helping to clown rent. No. That was a werewolf story. Your next werewolf story? Oh, scary. That's scary. So going.

Let him cook. Uh-huh. Really? He ate Chipotle this morning. Out of the candy cauldron, the parent lifestyle brand named Frida wanted to make a splash with its brand new candy product this fall. And because it's flu season,

they came up with booger-inspired gummies called Boogie Bites. Candy. Ew! Hold on, let me show you a picture of it so you get the idea. Why do you need these when the kids eat them already? I mean, honestly, have you been around to elementary school lately? Made with the help of real sick kids, these gummies are sweet, a little salty, you know why. And they're packed with a whole lot of vitamin C.

So they're healthy. So gross. Why are the kids helping? They taste test. Boogie Bites candy is available. nationwide for $3.99 per box. Also from the candy cauldron, Twix is introducing a new holiday

to the world. Oh, here we go. Here's the pooh sticks. Called Hallomus. Hallow must. When Christmas. A combo of Halloween and Christmas. Yes, all this is brilliant for people like me.

But they're starting it now? One day? Yeah. One day of Halloween? Technically, Christmas already started like two months ago. No, I'm not arguing about that. I'm saying Halloween ends today. So it's like a one day.

Yeah. You got to mash them together. The combo of Halloween and Christmas has a new treat mashup that comes with two bars, but instead of being identical, like in a package of normal twicks, one has a ghoulish green cookie center. And the

other is shaped like a snowman. That is wild. It looks just like a snowman. I wonder if it tastes better, like how the Reese's shaped ones. Yeah, I bet it does. And if they're even having a Hallamus Grotto pop up in New York. Oh. Wow. To celebrate this where zombie claws will be available for photo ops. That is so frustrating.

Funny. Fans can also expect jump scares and twisted Christmas carols for the event. I'm pretty sure when we were in Portugal once we saw zombie claws. He was just a couple months away from death. Oh, yeah. No makeup. Yeah, yeah. The kids have been scarred since.

That was a werewolf story. Your next werewolf story is out of the update of the polls. Update on the poll. A new poll found one in five Americans are totally delusioned. At least when it comes to what our pets think of Halloween. Oh, yeah. Because close to 20% of people think pets actually really enjoy dressing up in costume for the holiday. Okay, you know what?

I'm going to defend this. I saw a video of a dog the other day. The dog would not leave the house until she put on the fairy outfit for the dog. I'm a little concerned about your algorithm that these are the videos that are coming through you. But even crazier than the 20% who think pets enjoy dressing up, a full 40% of the, that think they either like it or at least don't mind it. Okay. Okay, I can be, I'm in that park.

I allowed the kids to get a bow to put it on Tula's collar. Now is it, because you can't feel it. Yeah. We'll take a picture of pets, but they just stand still because they hate it so much. And they take it off. What Tule even let you?

Your dog? No, she hides. Okay. The poll didn't distinguish between cats and dogs, but obviously dogs are a tad bit more receptive to costumes. And a third of Americans have admitted to dressing up as a pet before, Oh, that's cute.

Or say they plan to this year. Oh, yeah. The most popular animal costumes people like to wear are sexy lion, skanky cats. There it is. And confused squirrel. Potties here. Squirrel.

Where did I get these nuts from? Yeah. Coming in at honorable mention is a monkey gripping a rather large banana. Huh. Huh. I'm not sure what that's supposed to mean. That's very curious, but I'm curious. What about turtles?

Again. at the very bottom of the list. Oh, wow, not enough turtles. But jokes on them, he likes being a bottom. And that sound means werewolf stories has come to an end for the day. Tune in next year for something even lamer than the werewolf sounds.

And we'll be back to a normal edition of lasers on Monday. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. If you live in a neighborhood like mine, you've probably seen at least four pumpkins with botched. BBLs. What?

Wow. Is that the kind of what you're in? That's right. Halloween is going to be super scary this year. And we're going to put you in the mood for it by playing a brand new Hontoberfest edition of Riffin' Around. Yes. Oh my gosh. Will you be able to identify the scary songs that my co-host can't?

I don't want to listen. A porch pumpkin's lip fillers may depend on it. We're going to play coming up right after this. We often think we know our type in dating, tall, funny, a certain job, but the research shows we're usually not the best predictors of who will actually make us the happiest. As we often say on the Happiness Lab, our minds lie to us about all kinds of stuff, and that definitely includes the kinds of things we need to be happy in a relationship. That's why it helps to stay curious.

And with photo and ID verification, you can feel confident the person you're talking to is real,

so you can date with a bit more confidence. When you treat dating as exploration, instead of sticking to a rigid type, you open yourself up to happier, more meaningful connections.

I live below a cult leader and I fear I've angered her. Well, wait a minute, Sophia

Adia knows she's a cult leader. Well, Dakota, luckily it's I'm not afraid of a scary story week on the OK Storytime podcast, so you'll find out soon. This person writes, my neighbor's been blasting music every day and doing dirt rituals, and now my ceiling is collapsing. I try to report them, but things keep getting weirder. I think they may be part of a cult? Hold up, Sophia. A real-life cult? And what is a dirt ritual? No clue. But according

to this person, contractors are tearing down the patio to find out what's going on with their ceiling, and her neighbors are not happy. Well, she needs to report them ASAP. She did. And now they've been confronting her in really creepy ways all the time. So, do we find out

They create a nature reserve and build a spectacular circular home high on the top of a hill. But little by little, their dream starts to crumble and our couple retreat from reality. They lose it. They actually lose it. They sort of went nuts. Until one night, everything spins out of control.

We are in studio in our costumes, dressed as different Disney villains, and you can see the photos and the videos up on our socials at Brooke and Jeffrey. I can't even look Brooke in the eye right now because she's just too scary. I think she'll look out of one of her eyes right now, too. Oh, my gosh. No, that's not it. No, that's not it.

I'm going to work on it. I'm just creeping all the children out. But to celebrate, we're doing a special Halloween edition of Riffin' Around, where I play the instrumental of a famous song you've definitely heard before, one that has to do with the spooky season. My co-hosts just have to say the correct title without whining or complaining or getting lost in my dreamy eyes. We're going to start off with the woman who tried to crop top her Corella DeVille outfit.

Okay, so Alexis, name this Halloween theme song. Oh, thriller! God. I said, we're starting off easy, and you did it. Well done. Might be the only one she gets right. On to Jose, remember, the theme is Halloween.

So name this song. This is Halloween done, done, done, done. This is Halloween done, done, done is exactly what we were looking for. Yeah, oh, man. One point for Jose, one point for Alexis, and that means we're on to Brooke. Brooke, this next one is so easy. If you don't get it in less than two seconds, I might take a point away. Oh, that easy?

That easy. Name it. One. Two. Oh my gosh. Hello. I want to steal it. I can't hear it.

There's no music. It's just like a... Oh, it's so easy. That is music. I can't hear it because Jose is screaming. Are you not a fan of Halloween? Is that why you? You don't know this?

Oh, this is a Stranger theme. Yeah. Same theme song. That's not like a song. Okay. Okay. I specifically said no whining or complaining to the host. You didn't say theme song.

Brooke. It's just like you would never play that at a party. Captain Hook. Give it the point and Captain Hook taketh away. It's like, you don't even know what the name of that song is.

right now in studio this entire week for Halloween and I'll be honest we got pretty lucky with this one because a woman contacted us saying her friend believes her apartment could be haunted Oh yes! I love it! Perfect opportunity and she

did really good because she told her friend she might know a good paranormal investigator who could could help her with the situation, but in fact, it's a pair of Italian ghost hunters named Vito and Vino. I'm sure they'll do a great job of getting to the bottom of this haunting in your special Halloween-themed phone tap right now. It's another phone tap. And weekday mornings on the 20s. Hello.

Hey, is this a Brianna Thu-S? This is she? Mask is calling. Salutation. Your friend, victorious, that we should. call you. Because you've been dealing with maybe like a ghost situation up in your place over there.

You're the paranormal investigator? Ding, ding, ding. She got it right. Hey, we're dealing with a smart one over here. Yeah. Oh, by the way, this is my cousin of Vino. Say hi, Vino. Hey, I'm a Vino. And I'm Avido. How you doing? So

you guys are dealing with spirits and things? Precisely. Me and my cousin Vino have been busting ghosts since our Nana's pizzeria close down over on 8th Street under mysterious circumstances, right, Vito? Well, they shot it down because of the rats. Oh, that's right, the rodent issues. Very big, big rats.

Yeah, she did have rats everywhere. I kind of forgot about that. The pizza's still good, though. Oh, the pizza was phenomenal. Do you think that you can help me? Oh, of course. Why don't you tell me and my cousin all about it, okay? What's the going on?

Yeah, tell us everything, but they don't scare me. Vino, you gotta stop it, all right. Well, ghost hunters. You can't be scared on the job. But sometimes I make it a wet in my pantalone. Okay, that is true. Sometimes he does wet the bed, but only when the lights are completely off. I'm not sure what's going on here.

Why are we talking about his pantaloney? Yeah, right. Bingo, stop distracting us. But I'm not scared. Okay, so I... She can be scary. Are you guys done? Are you going to keep cutting me off, or should I answer your questions?

And the stage is yours, my lady. The fat lady may sing, not insinuating that you will have a weight problem whatsoever. I just mean it's your stage now. All right. She sounds very skinny. I'm having a really hard time communicating with you. Go ahead. I'm going to be quiet now.

And now you go. No, you've got to be quiet, too, Vino. Everybody's going to be a quiet. Okay. I was walking by my bookshelf the other day and... Oh, scary. No, that's not scary yet. Are you going to...

Are you going to keep interrupting me? My apologies. Go ahead, please. Okay, I live in a one-bedroom apartment by myself on the top floor. Oh, that's a fancy pants. Top floor. Oh, that's got to be. Can you keep your comments to yourself?

I'm still talking. My apologies. Vino, shut up. Sometimes when I'm in my bedroom with the door shut, I can hear footsteps in the kitchen. Oh. Oh, man. That's a pretty scary. Are we talking about, like, little tiny animal cute footsteps?

Are we talking like, gadoosh, gadoosh, cadoosh, cadoosh. It's just normal footsteps. It sounds like there's someone in the other room. Normal, normal footsteps. Oh, my, it could be anything. Yeah, normal footsteps. That's medium pressure. Oh, my, do she have a roommate?

Oh, yeah. Do you have a roommate? No, I said I live alone. Oh, my God. Why would she hear footsteps, Vino? Why can she get a date? What? That's her, you do live alone.

Hey, why aren't you dating, Brianna? This has nothing to do with my dating life, okay? She doesn't want to talk about it. Someone probably dumped her. Yeah, probably. Yeah, you girls don't ever choose to be single. Yeah, oh. Hey, stop talking about my dating life.

I am trying to explain how there's paranormal activity in my apartment. Definitely a sensitive subject. Okay, I'm moving on. I do agree. You should move on. We should all move on. You were better than him. Yeah, you got a pretty name.

Yeah, your beautiful name. I meant moving on to the next part of my story. Oh, yeah, that too. That's important. Let's make it all about you. Go for it. It is all about her, you know, because technically she's paying us to help her out. I'm not paying you anything yet because you haven't helped me.

Hey, whoa, hey, maybe we're not getting paid for this. You sounded like a cheapo. Okay. No wonder you broke up with her. This has got to stop. I think that this whole thing is bullshit. I don't think that you're real investigators. Oh, hey.

Hey. Yeah, that's insulting lady Well, you're proving it to me By discussing what's going on in my dating life Instead of listening to me about what's going on in my apartment It sounded like nothing going on in your apartment Oh, hey, you got a good one, Vino That's a good one, Vailant

Okay, idiot, I am done with you Vino, she's on to us I think she's going to figure it out pretty soon Maybe we need to tell her the truth Maybe we should just tell us it's a prank phone call She's actually on Brooke and to Jeffrey in the morning. I got you. What?

Because this is actually, Jose. I'm here with Jeff. Yeah. And this is a prank phone call. Oh, my God. I knew there was something so weird about this phone call. Yeah, it was your friend Victoria's idea. She told you that she knew a paranormal investigator, but really she just wanted us to have some fun with you.

Oh, my God. So sorry. Okay, I get that this is a prank, but what about my situation? This is a real situation. Oh, yeah. have no help there. I would move. I don't mess with that kind of crap. That's crazy. Burn the building down.

Yeah. Oh, hey, hey, hey. I know a couple of guys. I know a little way around a fire. We can connect it to us, though. Oh, yeah. We probably should delete this. You guys really are moron. Yeah. Yeah, kind of. Wake up every morning with phone tabs. Weekday mornings on the 20s.

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. I think we've proved on this show, Halloween isn't just for kids. No, it is not. Especially if you're knee-deep into a spooky themed bar crawl with your friends. Yes, let's go. School's night. As soon you're doing a little bit of flirting, taking a lot of shots.

Until one critical moment where two people split off from the group and something happens that neither of them can stop talking about just for very, very different reasons. You're going to hear the issue that came up during a very special Halloween-themed second-date update. That's coming up right after this. We often think we know our type in dating. Tall, funny, a certain job. But the research shows we're usually not the best predictors of who will actually make us the happiest.

As we often say on the Happiness Lab, our minds lie to us about all kinds of stuff. And that definitely includes the kinds of things we need to be happy in a relationship. That's why it helps to stay curious. On Bumble, features like shared interests and prompts, make it easy to notice right on someone's profile initial sparks of compatibility, like a shared love of cooking or the same nostalgic TV shows. Shared interests and prompts let you showcase your personality right on your profile and connect with people who get your vibe. And with photo and ID verification, you can feel confident the person you're talking to is real, so you can date with a bit more confidence. When you treat dating as exploration, instead of sticking to a rigid type, you open yourself up to happier, more meaningful connections.

So maybe your type isn't tall, dark, and mysterious. Maybe it's Love's podcast as much as you do. Stay open, stay curious, and let yourself be surprised. Download Bumble today.

Second Date Update. Imagine the night is alive with chaos. Zombies are stumbling down the streets. Yes. Witches are cackling maniacally. You hear the screams. You see the horrors. You smell the...

Fireball? What? And that's when you realize, oh, I'm in the middle of a Halloween bar crawl right now. Yay! And for all the terrifying sights, you'll definitely see, it might also be the perfect setting for you to find true love. Oh, trick-or-tree.

And that's where one of our listeners made a connection recently, and he's emailed us for help today with a spooky themed second-date update. I love that. His name is Evan. So, Evan, we got to catch up. How many shots deep are you right now? I, you know, it's a work day. I'm not going to take shots.

Whatever, I'm still at bar four, okay? Okay. I want to know what you were dressed as. That's how I want to start. Most important. I went as Star Lord and Guardians. I think I have a look that matches. Is that the Chris Pratt?

Yeah. Is that hot look or? Yeah, doesn't that cover most of you? I can't remember. I thought he was a hell. I really don't know. I never watched it. None of us have seen the movie.

I've seen the movie. Yeah, it doesn't stick out a ton to me, but. Okay, so we don't approve of your costume. Can you come up with a new one? Do people know what you were, I guess? That's the question. People knew. Okay.

Okay. He's a charismatic character. I would trust other people to know stuff more than this group would. Yeah, definitely, James. So tell us about this woman that you met while you were doing your bar crawl. What's her name? Oh, her name is Callista. Calista.

I honestly can't remember which bar that we met, but it was we were both a two big groups, and our groups just sort of naturally kind of like started going on this crawl together. Oh, that's always fun. I mean, that's the whole point of bar crawls, right? To meet new people. Oh, yeah, run into people. Yeah. Totally. Oh, I thought it was just to get drunk.

That's just I thought the social thing was kind of secondary. No, the crawl is so you just like happen to meet people. Yeah. You can go hot between bars and drink alone any time. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. Okay. But this is when you're wearing costumes, so fun. I mean, I would definitely agree with all of that.

I was definitely probably steering our group to sick with hers because I was into her. Yeah. Whereas my friends just wanted to keep drinking. They didn't care about the social part. Okay. So I'll hook up with your friends after we're done with this call because they seem like my type of people. How did you and Callista? I mean, like, what was the connection between you two?

What did you have in common? I mean, I think it was just like our type of sense of humor. We just loved the people watching and looking at people's costumes and how silly they look. the cheaper the better we've realized. Oh, interesting. Like, nothing that looked like it was just pulled off the shelf of Spirit Halloween and clearly the hours before, like the big tacos. Okay, so you're bonding over the shared interest of judging other people

for their weird costume decisions. Sounds like multi-costered decisions is what it was. Yeah, okay. Well, that could be fun. So how did the night go? I thought it was going great. I mean, we were having a great time. One of the bars had just paper.

I'm assuming it was from one of their trivia nights as papers and pen and we just started like giving out awards. We just picked people and be like, you have like the craziest food costume. You have the ugliest blank costume second worst costume of this bar. That's awesome. All right, so you and Callista made a lot

of enemies that night, probably it sounds like. But you're in your own world, though. That's all that matters. It's you two, right? Even if someone's upset, you're like, oh my God, we really made that guy mad. Let's make out. Yeah. Yeah, wait. Did that happen? Did you make out? Yeah, good question.

I wouldn't call to make out, but yeah, at the last bar of the night, we definitely kissed up the box. We kissed. Yes, good. Yeah, that happened. You're painting a really nice image for us. We want to know, is there anything in your mind that you remember that went wrong with the evening? On the last bar, they had a dance floor, and she really wanted to get out on the dance floor. Regardless of what I was dressed up by us, because we know Star Lord is a dancer,

I am not a dancer. It's just not my thing. Like you're a bad dancer or you won't even try? All of the above. Did she try to pull you and dance at some point? You said no. Multiple times. You may seem like you're not fun then.

It is a bummer because it's like in my mind there's no such thing as a bad dancer. If you fully commit, you're fun no matter how good you are at. Even bad dancing is fun dancing. Yeah, exactly. That's exactly what bad. That dancer's sick. No.

It's true. And all that matters is I'm having a good time. Last place in the dance competition. So what I'm kicked off every dance floor. So you're thinking that she's just turned off because you came across as kind of a party pooper. Is that right? Yeah, I think she might think I'm just some stick in the mud or a bit of a lameo. And I mean, we've had a lot of texts back and forth.

It's just non-commit. She won't commit to going on a date. Maybe having a radio station call. prove that you're the fun guy, you know? Like for the party guy. There we go, yeah. I mean, if that's the case, Alexis, would this be a deal breaker for you if you're out with a guy who prefers not to dance?

I mean, yeah, I can't look bad alone out there. I'm not good. Someone's got to come down with me. That's true. Think of all the weddings you have to go to in the future if you end up a couple. Yeah, totally. Dancing is such an important part, a social life. Well, let's see if, ironically, you dug your own grave on Halloween bar crawl on that.

When we come back and get you your second date update right after this. Second date update. Imagine the movie Footloose, but instead of Kevin Bacon being told not to dance, he chooses not to. That's right. Because he's embarrassed about his lack of dance moves. Oh, his feet aren't loose at all, Jeff. Reverse.

Yes, that's exactly what we're dealing with today. Reverse footloose for our listener, who met a woman named Callista during a Halloween bar crawl but when Callista tried to get him out on the dance floor he said no sweetheart Daddy don't move like that He just sits in the corners

The saddest movie ever Is that the reason that Callista's been avoiding another hangout We're trying to get to the bottom of it today With your Halloween themed second date update I was hoping someone else would jump in Oh, I was hoping that he would answer you. Oh, yeah.

You know, where is he? I'm still here. Was that a terrifying recap for you, Evan? Yeah, it was kind of. I was like, oh, no, this is probably going to go bad. Honestly, I don't know if it even has to do with the dancing. It may just be like Halloween's meant kind of for just like flirting and hooking up. Yeah, while you're not.

Yeah, maybe have nothing to do with your dancing. It might just be your personality sucks, bro. I'm just saying, like you're out in costume. You're not looking for a relationship, typically. So maybe that's just not where her head was at. You think she's a flusy? No, I don't. Wow, Brooke, why would you say that?

What do you think? I don't really know. I just mean, like, you're out partying on Halloween. It's not meant to be more dates. Yeah, the guy had like a fun makeout and doesn't accept that it was just a fun make. Yeah, that's all it is. Why does everyone else get me except Jeff?

I don't know if Jeff's ever had just a fun makeout, Jeff. Why to try one? No, thanks. I mean, could that be the case, Evan, where you're taking this as a more serious connection than what Callista saw it as, more of like a one-night fun thing? That could be the case. I guess I just misread it.

I don't think that's bad. I think it's something you can fix. Yeah, but clearly he wants more. And so we're putting in the effort. We're going to at least call and try and figure out why. And bro, even if it was just a kiss, like just know you're attractive enough for her to come and make out with you. You should feel good about that.

Because I only made out with hot guys when I was single. I would never drunkly make out with something. someone's not wrong. You look like Star Lord, okay? Yeah, it's not undermine anybody's confidence. We're just going to call her, and hopefully she picks up. But here we go. Hello?

Hey, we're looking to speak with Callista. Yeah, who's this? Hey, this is a radio show. We're called Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Hey. Hello, good morning. Hi. This is a segment that we do.

It's called a second date update. Okay. Okay. So we're trying to help out one of our listeners that you met the other night. He described a really cool hangout between the two of you at a bar crawl. He described a really drunk hangout between the two of you. Cool, drunk, fun. It was all the emotions.

Halloween time. I'm talking about a guy named Evan. Yeah. Okay. Ooh. Maybe she likes him to be called. It's called Star Lord instead, and that was a problem. Is that right, Callista?

Star Lord. Do you like that better? Not necessarily. Oh, Star Daddy. All right. Star Daddy. Look, if you weren't feeling it with him that much, then we understand. We get it.

But we spoke with Evan, and he was saying he felt like he really connected with you during the bar crawl. And now you just, you don't seem to want to meet up one-on-one with him. I mean, we had a fun night. but it was what it was. Like it didn't, I don't think it's like a long-term thing. I mean, is that just because it was Halloween and you're at a bar crawl and it's just... A few drinks deep. Yeah.

That's not where your mind was at. No, I mean, I don't know what he told you or I don't know how this works, but we had a kind of serious conversation. Oh. And it was just like a real turn off for me. Oh, turn off. Are you saying you had a conversation because we heard that you talked about other people's costumes and how horrible they were. Yeah, that's the serious talk to. It sounds like she's talking about Jeff. She could read it as a serious. This guy's really judgmental about other people and their last minute

outfit ideas. No, I think that was that was the fun part. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, I was trying to like have fun with him and get him to dance with me. And then he basically told me he doesn't like dancing because when he was 10, his mom put him in this like play where he was like a pumpkin and he had a dance in front of everyone for hours. Oh, cute. Okay. And I was just kind of like, if you're that affected by something like that when you're 10, you pretty much probably can't handle anything in life.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. All of that sounds so serious. He's probably just trying to share a lighthearted story to make you laugh about why he can't. Yeah, school play one time. But he still can't dance as an adult. Like, that's crazy, especially when you're a little bit drunk, like, you're still that upset about it. Like, that just was a huge red flag. I see your

point. You took him very, very seriously with that comment. I asked him to dance, like, three times. Like, he was serious about it. And his reason for not dancing that he told you was that when he was 10 years old, his mom forced him to in a play. In a play.

It wasn't for a play. It was for the town festival where everybody was watching. Wait, there's guys on the phone. Yeah, sorry about that, Calista. But Evan is actually on the other line listening in on this call that's how this segment works yeah yeah my mom would force me into

this thing in front of the festival and this wasn't just like one time this is like from 10 years old till 15 I mean I like at 16 I stopped refusing to do it and because you're a pumpkin it scarred you from Halloween just to get it clear on the details you're saying that

when you were a kid your mom made you join a Halloween themed festival where you had to dance what you're making me say it again. Okay. Sorry. My mom would force me to wear a skin-tight, like, orange suit and put a pumpkin on my head to go dance in front of the town.

A pumpkin on your head. I love that. God, why couldn't she have gone with something cool, like, just made you do thriller or something? I became pumpkin man to everybody. I was known as Pumpkin Man every year. Yeah, but, like, it was such a long time ago. Like, I just, if you're not going to have fun, and dance as an adult, like a grown man.

It's just like a lot of issues. Well, not everyone likes to dance. It sounds like... We have friends that don't like to dance. Sounds like Colista and your mom may have more in common than you realize. Oh. Well, look, you're right. You gave him the ick, Brooke.

I probably shouldn't have brought it up. I should have gotten out there. But... So, like, hypothetically, if we went to my friend's wedding and I was like, hey, dance with me, you're never going to dance with me. you're never going to dance with me because of this experience when you're 10. It was just the idea that you were just like trying so hard to make me dance. It just was like you were my mom in that moment.

All I could think about it was being the pumpkin man in my pumpkin helmet forced to dance in front of everybody. So, Colissa, to answer your question, if your friend invited his mom to the wedding, too, to force him to dance, then he would definitely be out on the floor with it. We're not inviting anyone's mom. to wedding. Okay, wait, wait. I think you're thinking of this the wrong way, though,

Colista. Like, maybe just give him a chance to dance with you eventually because the good experience will outweigh the trauma that he had. And maybe he'll learn to love it all over again. I mean, honestly, I was going to say, like, hard no, but I guess I'm open to it.

I just want to be with someone that is, like, fun and can dance, and I don't want to be dealing with their past traumas. Okay. I mean, good luck with that. Yeah. That's going to be others. That's totally fair.

Like, does that not exist? No, it's a hundred percent okay to ask. And Evan, if you're willing to commit to dropping all of your past traumas right now, then she would be willing to give you a chance. Oh, that's all I got to do? I'm perfect now. We're joking, but I think that what he's trying to say is that everybody comes with baggage, okay? And if your baggage is simply that you are a little traumatized to dance, like, that's pretty light baggage.

You could see you're dating the Pumpkin King. Yeah. Come on. I mean, all right, but you have to dance with me. Next time, we're going to, second date, I'm only going if you go dancing with me. Wow. As long as he doesn't have to dress in an orange skin-tight outfit with the pumpkin over his head, he should be able to overcome it.

I mean, I'd be open to wearing still that pumpkin skin-tight suit, just not the helmet. Oh, what? That just shows off his guns at this point. I see. All right. So with, I don't know I'm going to go with don't wear that. Yeah. But it's up to you, man.

Her own trauma. I mean, I wouldn't even carve pumpkins as a couple. I would just stay away from them. Yeah, that's our suggestion. But again, this is your decision, Evan. And Colista did say she was up for giving you one more chance if you danced. Yeah, let's do it. I'll get out there.

I'll show what little moves I have. All right. No one expects guys to have many moves on the dance floor. Why do I feel like after like six or seven years as like the pumpkin guy, he's going to be the best dancer of all time? They let them come back every year. Yeah. Lord of the pumpkin. is what he is.

Yeah, I mean, I'm, I'm proud of you. I mean, I'm, I was... Careful, you're sounding like his mom now. I was expecting to say no, like, 100%, so I think you handled it really well, so... Oh, that's actually pretty cute. All you got to do is dance, gentlemen. All right.

All right. Oh, we're back to Kevin Bacon again. Here we go. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Oh, man, I forgot to ask if she wanted to go with him to his therapy session after they got appetizers and chilies. Oh, I see.

That's where I went wrong with this. It's the perfect pairing. Little baby back ribs followed by some traumatized kids. Oh, man. I mean, gosh, if this was your mom, Jeffrey, she would have already sent us the video of you doing the dance in the orange band-dacks. And talked about how good your jazz hands were.

Yeah, but that's the thing. My mom continues to traumatize me well into adulthood. Got it. It's nothing to do with the past. No, I'm not ready for therapy yet. It's trauma in progress But I don't know It's cool that they went out together

That they agreed to give it a shot Text in the 788-592 If you think they're actually a good match for each other Okay Yeah and share your trauma stories From your childhood Is that what we want? No, don't do that on the text board

We often think we know our type in dating. Tall, funny, a certain job. But the research shows we're usually not the best predictors of who will actually make us the happiest. As we often say on the Happiness Lab, our minds lie to us about all kinds of stuff, and that definitely includes the kinds of things we need to be happy in a relationship. That's why it helps to stay curious. On Bumble, features like shared interests and prompts make it easy to notice right on someone's

profile initial sparks of compatibility, like a shared love of cooking or the same nostalgic TV shows. Shared interests and prompts let you showcase your personality right on your profile and connect with people who get your vibe. And with photo and ID verification, you can feel confident the person you're talking to is real, so you can date with a bit more confidence. When you treat dating as exploration, instead of sticking to a rigid type, you open yourself up to happier, more meaningful connections.

So maybe your type isn't tall, dark, and mysterious. Maybe it's Love's podcast as much as you do. Stay open, stay curious, and let yourself be surprised. Download Bumble today.
