Brooke
It's here. Our Halloween show. Oh my God. You're in for a treat. Halloween 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.
Alexis
Yeah, he went hard for. He got so into it.
Brooke
Yeah. But I'm glad you're here. I really am. And we're gonna start off with a comment on our text board. I know we're gonna get a lot of comments after this show.
Alexis
Yes, I saw this get texted in today and they said good morning. I know this probably won't get read wr. My wife and I are going as Brooke and Jeffrey for Halloween. I have a half shaved beard with decorations on one side and my wife is wearing red lipstick with a blonde wig and thick glasses. 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 you doing at this Halloween trick or treating event? People will totally think we're crazy. Should be loads of fun.
Brooke
Yes. A way to represent that astigmatism for me, you know, I appreciate that.
Jose
You gotta bump into stuff a little bit too.
Brooke
Yeah. Hey, that's right. Send us your pics for sure at Briga, Jeffrey. And enjoy the brand new full hour right now.
Jeffrey
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.
Jose
No, Jeff, I can see you.
Jeffrey
I know what you are. Well, to the. Yes to the listeners. Most of them, I'm assuming, can't see us unless they're peeking through the windows. Are you looking into the studio?
Brooke
Just say this is what I'll say. Most effort put in by every single member of this show. I am very proud of us this year.
Alexis
And I said a high bar.
Brooke
A high bar.
Alexis
Yeah, you.
Jose
Brook always goes all out.
Jeffrey
We literally had to start the show late cuz Brooke took two hours to get her costume ready. 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.
Brooke
Did you tell them it's at Brooke and Jeffrey?
Jeffrey
Brooke and Jeffrey making 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. Okay, I'll just say you think Brooke's mean in normal life.
Brooke
Oh, wait, what?
Jeffrey
That's all you're going to get. Okay, not mean.
Jake
That was kind of a totally now look.
Brooke
Have I ever been mean to you?
Jeffrey
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 cook off?
Jose
I will be judging the chili cook off.
Jeffrey
I'm eating a bunch of random people's food.
Alexis
I heard there's only four chilies being brought.
Jose
Oh, there's only four.
Jeffrey
Oh, my God.
Jose
I thought it was going to be like 10.
Brooke
No effort from the office. That many people have been laid off.
Jose
We don't know that's also true.
Jeffrey
That's column A. Column B. Alexis, are you judging with him?
Alexis
Apparently.
Brooke
Have you heard it taste Spicy food. I know.
Jeffrey
What are you going to be looking for specifically?
Alexis
Which one is the least spicy, the least spice?
Jose
I bet for her it's like, which has the least amount of flavor?
Alexis
I have chili maybe once a year.
Jeffrey
Maybe.
Alexis
I'm not really sure what it tastes like, but.
Jeffrey
Well, clearly they picked the best person to judge the contest. That's good.
Brooke
I just realized I forgot something in my costume.
Jeffrey
Oh, you want.
Brooke
You want to drive home, do it all over again? The other room. Okay, I'll. I'll fix it later for the pictures.
Jeffrey
All right, fix it for the pictures. But our Halloween show is underway. We've got special Halloween phone taps, Halloween second date update, song of the week, and a bunch of other spooky stuff planned 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.
Jake
This is the day when creepy things naturally occur. The fog slowly rolls in, the jack o lanterns start to flicker a little, and Alexis's costume quickly becomes less and less work appropriate.
Alexis
I got a non PG one in my bag for later.
Jose
I was gonna cut that one.
Jake
After the chili cookout, 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. Normally you could just assume it was happening in Florida.
Brooke
Yeah.
Jake
But today, freaky events can take place anywhere at any time. And that's why to celebrate the most frightening news day of the year, we're doing a special Halloween headlines edition of plenty of 20.
Jeffrey
Let's go.
Jake
Now you say number one 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.
Jeffrey
See what you did there?
Jake
For today, we're gonna go with boo or Boo hoo Is real Boo Hoo. I made it up. Let's start with the woman who gets ghosted every Halloween by her own mummy. Cause Barb's gotta get her drink on. Yep, that's Alexis.
Alexis
Her costume's always hotter than mine.
Jake
Uh, 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.
Jeffrey
Is that a boo or a boo Hoo?
Alexis
I mean, you see, when Christmas people hired the Grinches that scare kids and it seriously backfired money. That's why I feel like this would happen.
Jose
Or just the Santa back? I don't know.
Jeffrey
I think there was a dead giveaway. He said drunk by midnight. If it was Florida, it would be noon.
Alexis
He didn't say it didn't start early. It could have been an all day thing.
Jeffrey
Okay, that's fair.
Alexis
That's why I'm gonna say boo.
Jake
Alexis says boo.
Jeffrey
Boo. We made it up.
Jose
I think that that scared a lot of people.
Jake
Yeah. Please pull over if you're listening. Brooke, it's your turn.
Brooke
Okay, well, 13.
Jose
All right.
Brooke
For the day.
Jake
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.
Jeffrey
Yeah.
Jake
Is that story a boo or a boo hoo?
Brooke
It's interesting because you'd just be like, dude, Chad, come on, man, we 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.
Jake
Brooke says boo. It is 100% real.
Brooke
Wow.
Jake
Jose, we're on to you. 10 and 13 are off the board.
Jose
Let's go 12.
Jake
Jose. In 2017, a guy in a Tucson neighborhood wearing a clown costume kept trying to juggle chainsaws while handing out candy.
Jose
That's not easy to do.
Jake
No. Cops were called and found out two of the chainsaws were a prop, but one was real. He was arrested. Is this news story boo or boo?
Jeffrey
The optics of jugg chainsaws be like reach in kids time it right.
Jose
Chainsaw roulette with yourself.
Jeffrey
One of these is real.
Jose
I can chop a limb.
Brooke
I literally say my cousin used to juggle chainsaws.
Jeffrey
Oh, of course. So it's not that impressive anymore.
Brooke
I mean, he did three real ones. Oh.
Jose
After hearing that, I gotta say, this is real. It's boo.
Jake
Jose says boo. Dry your tears. That is a boo hoo.
Jeffrey
We did make that one up.
Brooke
Yes.
Jake
Jeffrey, it's Halloween.
Jeffrey
Thank you.
Jake
Yeah. Halloween headlines. Just want to make sure you knew.
Jeffrey
Okay, I need a number. I'm gonna go eight. Eight.
Jake
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. 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 hoo?
Brooke
Hmm.
Jeffrey
You're saying this happened in San Francisco?
Brooke
Mm.
Jeffrey
I feel like the tech nerds of San Francisco would have figured out the pulley system. Some sort of high tech thing.
Brooke
I thought you were gonna say we're obviously scared of heights. Like, it seems like something that tech nerds like, they've never been on a ladder.
Jeffrey
Okay, I'm gonna follow Brooke's logic here. She is the queen of Halloween. So I'm gonna say that is boo. Jeffrey says boo. No.
Brooke
I will ask both of today. Boo hoo.
Jeffrey
And that means Brooke has won today's edition of Ple.
Jake
Plenty of Plenty.
Jose
She's evil. And that's a hint to her costume.
Jeffrey
That's right. Evil prevails. Once again, Brooke wins the Halloween shock collar. So she gets to choose who gets shocked. They're gonna be singing the Ghostbusters theme song. Who's it gonna be, Brooke?
Brooke
I just feel like the first person that got it wrong should be the first person.
Jose
Who was that?
Alexis
Alexa, if there's something strange in your neighborhood, who you gonna call?
Jeffrey
Oh, there you go.
Brooke
Oh, no, My makeup's cracking.
Jeffrey
Oh, I can't laugh.
Jose
That's a normal day for.
Jake
I know.
Jeffrey
I've just never said that before. Anyway, that is your shot caller Halloween question of the day. We've got so much more Halloween content coming your way. Halloween phone tab, second date updates, the whole show.
Jose
Happy Halloween.
Jeffrey
And go check Out. Go. Follow us on our socials. Right now at Brooke and Jeffrey, we're gonna do a phone tap. Halloween edition. Coming up right after this, Brooke and.
Brooke
Jeffrey in the morning.
Jeffrey
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, Brooke and Jeffrey, if you want to see them 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 in each of our characters. Alexis, we gotta go quick. You're gonna be first.
Alexis
Act it out, Dalmatians.
Brooke
I love the fur.
Alexis
I'm gonna turn it into a nice fashion statement and people will judge me because it's unethical.
Jeffrey
Alexis is herself this year.
Jose
Yeah.
Jeffrey
Brooke, we waited almost two hours for you to come out with your costume. So let's hear your impression issues.
Brooke
Okay, there are some makeup issues, but let's hear it.
Jeffrey
It's what I do.
Brooke
It's what I live for.
Jeffrey
To help unfortunate merfolk like yourself. Wow.
Jose
I like it.
Brooke
It's not hobbies with nothing left to turn to.
Jeffrey
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.
Jose
Prick her finger with a spindle. Really? That's her most famous moment.
Brooke
That's good. That's good. She doesn't talk a lot. She's just as pretty.
Jeffrey
No, she's sc. That's Maleficent. If people couldn't figure that one out.
Jose
Maleficente.
Jeffrey
I felt like I was watching the movie. It was so good for me. Peter Pan. If I could only find his secret lair of lost boys, then I'd be.
Jose
The happiest pirates in the world.
Brooke
That is not a direct movie quote.
Jeffrey
Oh, it's not.
Brooke
I would not. Yeah.
Jose
Lost Boys gonna be my.
Jeffrey
I'd toss a little to myself in there too.
Brooke
Do you think people guess we're the Disney villains?
Jeffrey
Yeah, we're Disney villains. Everyone is a. I'm Captain Hook. Everyone's dressed like a different character. Producer Boyd is dressed as the boogie boogie guy from Nightmare Before Christmas. Digital Jake is Jafar from Aladdin. Editor Ashley, she's the queen of Hearts 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?
Brooke
Long live the king.
Jeffrey
It's like a 12 year old actually. This scar from Lion King. So we have our show going already. We have videos that we've been taking up on our socials. BrookeandJeffrey, you can see all of us in our costumes.
Jose
You can finally see us.
Brooke
Don't zoom in on my makeup. I'm not a makeup artist. Just look from far away. Please call it out.
Jose
Bring you a grave.
Jeffrey
We got more Halloween themed content all show long Laser stories coming up right after this.
Jose
Hello, it's Laser Stories.
Jeffrey
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.
Brooke
Wow. Big twist from Zombie Stories last year.
Jose
I'm scared, Jeff.
Jeffrey
Where instead of lasers, we're replacing them with bloodthirsty werewolves.
Jose
Oh, God. Why is the moon out right now?
Brooke
That was intense.
Jeffrey
Now, this is cutting edge radio, people. If we don't win some kind of innovative radio pioneer award for this, we're never gonna win.
Brooke
That's true.
Jose
All the dogs are listening, that's for sure.
Jeffrey
Thank God. Let's dive in with your first werewolf story 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.
Brooke
Stop it.
Jeffrey
Seriously.
Jose
I would have thought it was like a decoration. I'm like, these things are realistic.
Brooke
You would want to bring the pet monkey along to see what the pet monkey wants to be for Halloween.
Jeffrey
Totally fair. And 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.
Jose
It's like you're gonna be a Karen for Halloween. Thanks, Jeff.
Jeffrey
The first Spirit employees didn't know what to do, so they just kept on working.
Brooke
Yeah.
Jeffrey
And the customers were still allowed to come in and shop.
Brooke
Okay.
Jeffrey
According to one, they weren't sure it was real because most things in spirit aren't.
Brooke
Yeah, but most things don't look real either.
Jeffrey
They have some crazy expensive ones that are super.
Brooke
At what point does it start flinging poo?
Jeffrey
Well, apparently there was one dead giveaway. It was wearing a diaper.
Brooke
Oh. Oh, thank God. That is actually benefit if it's swinging above your head.
Jeffrey
So eventually, Peanut Butter's owner was able to bribe it down with a cookie and regain control of it. Cookies for peace. Officers say no humans were in danger. Although a few did attempt to purchase the monkey.
Jake
Yes.
Jeffrey
Pointing to it up in the rafters and asking if they had any more.
Brooke
The back. Yeah.
Alexis
Be Curious George for Halloween.
Brooke
Awesome.
Jeffrey
That was a werewolf Story. Your next werewolf story is out of Marble Vermont pop music. Yeah, a guy woke up around 3:30am 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.
Brooke
I told you clowns aren't for bad, you guys. He just wanted a nap.
Jose
Oh, Sleepy the clown.
Jeffrey
Just a terrifying thought.
Brooke
Okay.
Jeffrey
When he gasped out loud, the clown sat up and told the man to close the door so he'd get more shut eye.
Jose
Yeah, I thought he was gonna get up and pie him in the face and run.
Jeffrey
No, instead the homeowner called the cops.
Brooke
Oh, I bet he got left by his little clown buddies who all piled into the car without.
Jeffrey
Police showed up and found 43 year old SE Baker sitting on the toilet in his full clown outfit.
Alexis
He's just having a day better.
Jeffrey
And here's a shocker, he also happened to have cocaine on him. Didn't see that coming.
Brooke
I was going for a more low end drug for the clown for some reason.
Jake
Sleep.
Jose
Right.
Jeffrey
So he was arrested for unlawful trespassing and drug possession.
Brooke
How the clowns get their white face.
Jeffrey
Surprisingly, it wasn't the only clown who got arrested that night. In a nearby town, one named Soapy tried to hold up a mini mart, but got so drunk he vomited on the cashier instead.
Jose
Oh man, he's gonna need some.
Brooke
Soapy would have kept it clean.
Alexis
Not helping the clown rent.
Jeffrey
No, that was a werewolf story. Your next werewolf story. Let him cook.
Alexis
Really?
Jose
He's got a big break.
Brooke
Oh my God.
Jeffrey
He ate Chipotle this morning.
Brooke
So there you go.
Jeffrey
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. Hold on, let me show you a picture of it. So you get the idea.
Brooke
Why do you need these when the kids eat them already? I mean honestly, have you been around to elementary school lately?
Jeffrey
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.
Kevin
Yeah.
Jose
Why are the kids helping?
Brooke
What they taste test.
Jeffrey
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. Here's the poo sticks called Hallowmus Hallowmus.
Calista
Wait.
Jeffrey
Christmas. A combo of Halloween and Christmas?
Brooke
Yes.
Jeffrey
Oh, this is brillian.
Brooke
Why?
Alexis
People like me, they're starting it now.
Brooke
One day.
Jeffrey
Yeah, technically Christmas already started like two months ago.
Alexis
I'm not arguing about that. I'm saying Halloween ends today.
Jose
So it's like a one day.
Jeffrey
Yeah, you gotta 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 Twix, one has a ghoulish green cookie center and the other is shaped like a snow snowman.
Brooke
That is wild. It looks just like a snowman.
Jake
Yeah.
Brooke
Yeah.
Alexis
I wonder if it tastes better like how the Reese's shaped ones do.
Brooke
Yeah, I bet it does.
Jeffrey
And they're even having a hello, Ms. Grotto pop up in New York.
Brooke
Oh, wow.
Jeffrey
To celebrate this, where zombie claws will be available for photo ops.
Brooke
That'd be so frightening.
Jeffrey
Funny. Fans can also expect jump scares and twisted Christmas carols for the event.
Brooke
I'm pretty sure when we were in Portugal once we saw zombie claws. He was just a couple months away from death.
Kevin
Oh, man.
Brooke
No makeup.
Jose
He like that?
Calista
Yeah.
Brooke
The kids have been scarred since that.
Jeffrey
Was a werewolf story. Your next werewolf story is out of the update of the polls.
Jose
Update on the poll.
Jeffrey
A new poll found 1 in 5Americans are totally delusional. At least when it comes to what our pets think of Halloween. Oh, yeah, cuz close to 20% of people think. Think pets actually really enjoy dressing up in costume for the holiday.
Brooke
No.
Jose
Okay, you know what? I'm gonna. 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.
Jeffrey
I'm a little concerned about your algorithm that these are the videos that are coming for you. But even crazier than the 20% who think pets enjoy dressing up, a full 40% think they either like it or at least don't mind it.
Brooke
Okay, Okay.
Jake
I can be.
Jose
I'm in that park.
Brooke
I allowed the kids to get a bow to put on Tula's collar and that was it. Because she can't feel it. Yeah, but she has no difference.
Alexis
We'll take a picture of our pets, but they just stand still because they hate it, so they take it off.
Jose
Would Tula even let you? Your dog?
Brooke
No. She hides.
Jose
Okay.
Jeffrey
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.
Brooke
Oh, that's cute.
Jeffrey
Or say they plan to this year. The most popular animal costumes people like to wear are. Are sexy lion.
Jose
Oh, there's a sexy kitty.
Jeffrey
Skanky cat.
Brooke
There it is.
Jeffrey
And confused squirrel.
Brooke
Party's here. Squirrel.
Jose
Where did I get these nuts from?
Jeffrey
Yeah. Coming in at honorable mention is a monkey gripping a rather large banana. Not sure what that's supposed to mean.
Jose
That's very curious.
Jeffrey
But I'm curious. What about turtles? Again, at the very bottom of the list. Not enough turtles, but jokes on them. He lost 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
Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
Jeffrey
If you live in a neighborhood like mine, you've probably seen at least four pumpkins with botched bbls.
Alexis
What?
Kevin
Wow.
Brooke
Is that the kind of hood you're in?
Jeffrey
That's right. Halloween is gonna be super scary this year and we're gonna put you in the mood for it by playing a brand new haunt Toberfest edition of Riffin Around.
Brooke
Yes. Oh my gosh, yes.
Jeffrey
Will you be able to identify the scary songs that my co host can't?
Brooke
I don't wanna listen.
Jeffrey
A porch pumpkin's lip filler's made to pend on it. We're gonna play coming up right after this. It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. And it's time for the scariest segment we are gonna do all day.
Brooke
Yes.
Jeffrey
Riffin.
Jake
Oh my God.
Jeffrey
Cuz it's Halloween week. 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.
Jose
I think she's going to look out of one of her eyes right now too.
Alexis
Oh my God.
Brooke
No, that's not it. That's not it.
Jeffrey
I'm just creeping all the children out. But to celebrate, we're doing a special Halloween edition of Riffing around where I play the instrumental of a famous song you've definitely heard before. One that has to do with the spooky season. Okay, my co hosts just have to say the correct title without whining or complaining or getting lost in my dreamy eyes. We're gonna start off with the woman who tried to crop top her Cruella De Vil outfit. Okay, so Alexis, name this this Halloween themed Song.
Brooke
Oh, Thriller. Gosh.
Jeffrey
Easy. 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.
Jose
This is Halloween. Dun dun dun dun dun dun dun.
Jeffrey
This is Halloween. Dun dun dun is exactly what we were looking for.
Jose
You boogie back, baby.
Jeffrey
One point for Jose, one point for Alexis. And that means. 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.
Brooke
That easy.
Jeffrey
That easy. Name it. One, two.
Jose
Oh, my gosh.
Jeffrey
Hello.
Jose
I want to steal it.
Alexis
I can't hear it.
Brooke
There's no music. It's just like a. Oh, it's so easy. I can't hear it because Jose is screaming. Are you not.
Jeffrey
Are you not a fan of Halloween? Is that why you don't know this?
Brooke
Oh, this is a Stranger Themes theme song. That's not like a song.
Jeffrey
Okay, okay. I specifically said no whining or complaining to the host.
Brooke
You didn't say theme song, Brook. Just like you would never play that at a party.
Jeffrey
Captain Hook giveth a point, and Captain Hook taketh away.
Brooke
It's like you don't even know what the name of that song is.
Jeffrey
I know you're being in character and being extra feisty with me right now, but it's just not cool. During this game, we're on to round two. Halloween songs from movies, TV shows, and pop culture. Back to Alexis, who don't tell anyone. I secretly want you to win. Okay, so, Alexis, we're all told.
Brooke
Everyone.
Jeffrey
We're all watching you as we wait for the answer to this spooky song.
Brooke
Oh, no.
Alexis
Oh, it's like the something at night.
Jeffrey
It's easier than you think.
Alexis
Halloween.
Jeffrey
I sort of gave you a hint right before we started.
Brooke
Win.
Jeffrey
No, after that.
Alexis
Oh, we're all. Somebody's watching me.
Jose
Amazing.
Jeffrey
Wow.
Brooke
Alexis.
Jose
I didn't think she'd get it.
Brooke
I didn't think she would either.
Jeffrey
A true fan of Halloween, Alexis jumps into the front with two points. Jose, we're back to you. Feel free to dance to this next one if you want to.
Jose
Okay.
Jeffrey
And, Brooke, get your ones ready. Make it rain down on him. Jose, name this. This famous Halloween song.
Jose
I'm Scared of the Monsters Under My Bed.
Jeffrey
Jeff, the name of the song is is Monsters. Monsters.
Jose
I was just telling you, like, in general, I'm scared of.
Jeffrey
That's right.
Brooke
I don't know if I would have got that one by Rihanna.
Jeffrey
This Is your chance to get on the board, Brook. And hint. This is the song your children hear as your car pulls into the driveway.
Brooke
Oh, this is another theme song.
Jeffrey
Yeah, sure is.
Brooke
I don't remember the name of the show.
Jeffrey
It would be a movie.
Brooke
Movie.
Jose
Yeah.
Jeffrey
That's okay.
Jake
Yeah.
Brooke
Oh, is it the Halloween theme? There we go.
Jeffrey
It only took 40 hints for Brooke to get it.
Jose
Good job, Brooke.
Jeffrey
You get one point. The Halloween movie theme. Mommy's home with quinoa for dinner. That is Brooks theme song.
Brooke
Yeah. That means I do love quinoa.
Kevin
That's right.
Jeffrey
Now, quick check on the scoreboard. We've got two for Alexis, two for Jose, one for Brooke. And these are gonna be the heart hardest ones yet. On to round three. Each question is gonna be worth double the points and triple my respect, which I know you want that. So, Alexis, you're up again. I'm pulling for you. That's our secret. So pay attention and name this Halloween song.
Alexis
I put a spell on you.
Brooke
Yeah. Wow. Okay.
Alexis
I got triple respect from Jeff.
Jeffrey
Yes. And double the points. That brings Alexis up to four total. Jose. Wow. You look great, by the way.
Jake
Thanks, friend.
Jeffrey
I forgot I never told you that. Anything that you want to say to your family real quick listening back home.
Jose
Yeah. I love you guys. Thanks for listening every morning.
Jeffrey
Sorry, we're gonna have to cut that for time. But at least name this Halloween theme song. Like a 90s grungy, but the theme of it may have something to do with Halloween.
Brooke
That's a hint.
Jose
I like candy. Oh, I'm so sorry.
Jeffrey
So close. Alexis, can you steal it?
Alexis
I want candy.
Jeffrey
She sure does.
Alexis
Yeah.
Jeffrey
I Want Candy by Bow Wow Wow. More points for Alexis. Who saw this coming? Not I. Quadruple respect.
Brooke
Dude, you're really annoyed today.
Jeffrey
Alexis has five total. Jose has two. Brooke with a lousy one.
Brooke
I'm like the crocodile in your story.
Jeffrey
That's right. Nobody on text board believes in you, Brooke. No one thinks you're gonna get this right. Even your husband Michael wrote in loser in all caps.
Jose
That's not Michael.
Jeffrey
But I don't want you to think about that. Just think about the points you'll win if you can name this scary song.
Brooke
Oh, this is a song. My parents liked cowbell.
Jeffrey
You may have danced through this at your wedding, Brooke. Come on now.
Jose
Oh, I know the name of the title.
Brooke
I can't think of the name of the title. Strangers in the Night.
Jose
Oh, no.
Jeffrey
Jose, can you steal it? Blue Oyster Cult. That is the band.
Jose
What is the name of the song? It's like sandman or who knows? That's another hard rock song.
Jeffrey
Alexis, this is your chance to steal it. Hopefully you're not afraid of anything terrible happening in the afterlife.
Alexis
Okay, Zombie.
Jeffrey
Oh, I'm sorry. Don't Fear the Reaper by Blue Oyster Cult. Ironically used in a lot of drug commercials targeting old folks. Kind of twisted.
Brooke
Well, you know, they shouldn't be scared.
Jeffrey
That's right. And now, with a total score of five points, that means the winner of Ripping around is our own Alexis Fuller. Noella deville. Oh, wow.
Brooke
Four coats for everyone.
Jake
Wow.
Jeffrey
Hooks and staffs and tridents up in the air.
Brooke
That's right.
Jeffrey
That was your Halloween edition of Riffing around. Everything is up on video, by the way, so you can go check it out on our socials. BrookeandJeffrey. We're gonna do a Halloween theme phone tap coming up right after this.
Brooke
Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
Jeffrey
It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning Haunt Tober Fest happening live right now in studio this entire week for Halloween. Oh, wow. 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.
Brooke
Oh, yes.
Jeffrey
Perfect opportun opportunity. And she. She did really good because she told her friend she might know a good paranormal investigator who 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 tab.
Brooke
Right now, it's another phone tab weekday.
Jeffrey
Mornings on the 20s.
Kevin
Hello?
Jose
Hey, is this a Brianna?
Calista
This is she. Mask is calling.
Jose
Salutations. 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.
Calista
You're the paranormal investigator.
Jose
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 Aveeno. Say hi, Vino.
Jeffrey
Hi, I'm Avino.
Jose
And I'm Avino. How you doing?
Calista
So you guys are dealing with spirits and things?
Jose
Precisely. Me and my cousin Vito been busting ghosts since our nana's pizzeria closed down over on 8th street under mysterious circumstances. Right, Vito? Well, they shut it down because of the rats. Oh, that's right, the rolling issues.
Jeffrey
Very big, big rats.
Jose
Yeah, she did have rats everywhere. I kind of forgot about that.
Calista
So.
Jose
Oh, the pizza was phenomenal.
Calista
Do you think that you can help me?
Brooke
Me?
Jose
Oh, of course. Why don't you tell me and my cousin all about it.
Brooke
Okay?
Jose
What's going on?
Jeffrey
Yeah, tell us everything, but don't scare me.
Jose
You know, you got to stop it, all right? We're ghost hunters. You can't be scared on the job.
Brooke
But sometimes I make the wet in my pantaloon.
Jose
Okay, that is true. Sometimes he does wet the bed, but only when the lights are completely off.
Calista
I'm not sure what's going on here. Why are we talking about his pantaloni?
Jose
Yeah, right. Beagle, stop distracting us.
Calista
Okay?
Jeffrey
So she can be scary.
Calista
Are you guys done? Are you gonna keep cutting me off or should I?
Jose
The stage is yours, my lady. The. The fat lady may sing. Not insinuating that you will have a weight problem whatsoever. I just mean it's the stage now, all right? She sounds very.
Calista
I'm having a really hard time communicating with you.
Jose
Go ahead. I'm gonna be quiet now. And now you go. No, you gotta be quiet too, Vino.
Jeffrey
Come on.
Jose
Everybody's gonna be a quiet.
Calista
Okay. I was walking by my bookshelf the other day and. Are you gonna keep interrupting me?
Jose
My apologies. Go ahead, please.
Calista
Okay. I live in a one bedroom apartment by myself on the top floor.
Jose
Oh, that's a Fancy pants top floor. Oh, that's gotta be.
Calista
Can you keep your comments to yourself? Myself, I'm still talking.
Jose
My apologies, Vino. Shut up.
Calista
Sometimes when I'm in my bedroom with the door shut, I can hear footsteps in the kitchen.
Brooke
Oh.
Jose
Oh, man. That's a pretty scary. Are we talking about, like, little tiny animal cute footsteps? Are we talking like gadoosh? Gadoosh, Gadoosh.
Calista
It's just normal footsteps. It sounds like there's someone in the other room.
Jeffrey
Could be anything.
Jose
Yeah, normal footsteps. That's medium pressure.
Jeffrey
Don't she have a roommate?
Jose
Oh, yeah. Do you have a roommate?
Kevin
No, I said I live alone.
Jose
Oh, my.
Calista
Are you listening to me?
Jose
Why would she hear footsteps, Vino?
Jeffrey
Why can't she get a date?
Brooke
What?
Jose
You do live alone. Hey, why aren't you dating Brianna?
Calista
This has nothing to do with my dating life, okay?
Jose
She doesn't want to talk about it. Someone probably dumped us. Yeah, probably.
Brooke
Yeah.
Jose
You girls don't ever choose to be single. Really?
Jeffrey
Yeah.
Calista
Oh, hey, stop talking about my dating life. I am trying to. To explain how there's paranormal activity in my apartment.
Jose
Definitely a sensitive subject.
Calista
Okay? I'm moving on.
Jose
I do agree. You should move on. We should all move on. You were better than him.
Jeffrey
Yo, you got a pretty name.
Jose
Yeah, your beautiful name.
Calista
I meant moving on to the next part of my story.
Jose
Oh, yeah, that too. That's important.
Jeffrey
It's all about the. You go for it.
Jose
It is all about her. You know, because technically, she's paying us to help her out.
Calista
I'm not paying you anything yet because you haven't helped me.
Jeffrey
Hey.
Jose
Well, hey, maybe we're getting paid for this.
Jeffrey
She sounded like a cheapo. Okay, this has gotta stop.
Calista
I think that this whole thing is. I don't think that your real investigators.
Jose
Do not trust you. Yeah, that's insulting, lady.
Calista
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.
Jeffrey
It sounded like a nothing going on in your apartment.
Jose
Hey, that's a good one, being all that same.
Calista
Okay, idiot. I am done with you.
Jose
Vino. She's on to us. I think she's gonna figure it out pretty soon.
Jeffrey
Maybe we need to tell her the truth.
Jose
Maybe we should just tell her it's a prank phone call and she's actually on Brook and the Jeffrey in the morning. I got you.
Calista
What?
Jose
Cause this is actually Jose. I'm here with Jeff.
Jeffrey
Yeah, and this is a prank phone call.
Kevin
Oh, my God.
Jeffrey
I knew there was something so weird.
Calista
About this phone call.
Jeffrey
Yeah, it was your friend Victoria's idea. She told you that she knew a paranormal investig. But really, she just wanted us to have some fun with you. Sorry.
Calista
Okay, I get that this is a prank, but what about my situation? This is a real situation.
Jeffrey
Oh, yeah.
Jose
I have no help there. I would move. I don't mess with that kind of crap. That's crazy.
Brooke
Yeah.
Jeffrey
Burn the building down. Yeah.
Jose
Oh, hey, hey, Hey. I know a couple of guys. I know a little way around a fire.
Jeffrey
Connected to us, though.
Jose
Oh, yeah. We probably should delete this.
Calista
You guys really are.
Jose
Yeah, yeah. Kind of.
Brooke
Wake up every morning with phone tabs. Weekday moron. Morning's on the 20s. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
Jeffrey
I think we've proved on this show Halloween isn't just for kids.
Brooke
No, it is not.
Jeffrey
Especially if you're knee deep into a spooky themed bar crawl with your friends.
Brooke
Yes. Let's go.
Jeffrey
Ghouls night. Yeah. 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 gonna hear the issue that came up during a very special Halloween themed second date update. That's coming up right after this second date update. Imagine the night is alive with chaos.
Kevin
Oh.
Jeffrey
Zombies are stumbling down the streets. Witches are cackling maniacally. You hear the screams. You see the horrors. You smell the fireball.
Brooke
What?
Jeffrey
And that's when you realize, oh, I'm in the middle of a Halloween bar crawl right now. And for all the terrifying sights you'll definitely see, it might also be the perfect setting for you to find true love.
Brooke
A trick or treat.
Jeffrey
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?
Kevin
I. You know, it's a work day. I'm not going to take shots.
Brooke
Whatever. I'm still at bar four. Okay.
Jeffrey
Okay.
Brooke
I want to know what you were dressed as. That's how I want to start.
Kevin
Most important, I went as Star Lord from Guardians. I think I have a look that matches.
Brooke
Is that the Chris Pratt?
Kevin
Yeah.
Alexis
Is that hot look or.
Brooke
Yeah.
Jeffrey
Doesn't that, like, cover most of you?
Brooke
I can't remember.
Jose
I really don't know. I never watched.
Jeffrey
None of us have seen the movies.
Brooke
I've seen the movies. Yeah. It doesn't stick out a ton to me, but.
Jeffrey
Okay, so we don't approve of your costume. Can you come up with a new.
Alexis
One, or do people know what you were?
Jose
I guess that's the question.
Kevin
People knew.
Jeffrey
Okay.
Kevin
He's a charismatic character.
Jeffrey
I would trust other people to know stuff more. More than this group would.
Brooke
So.
Calista
Yeah, definitely, James.
Jeffrey
So tell us about this woman that you met while you were doing your bar crawl. What's her name?
Kevin
Oh, her name is Calista. I honestly can't remember which bar that we met, but it was. We were both of two big groups, and our groups just sort of naturally kind of like started going on this crawl together.
Brooke
Oh, that's always fun. I mean, that's the whole point of bar crawls, right? To meet new people.
Jose
Oh, yeah. Run into people. Totally.
Jeffrey
Oh, I thought it was just to get drunk. You can do that.
Brooke
Just.
Jeffrey
I thought the social thing was kind of secondary.
Jose
So you just, like, happen to meet people.
Brooke
Okay.
Alexis
You can go hop between bars and drink alone anytime.
Brooke
Exactly.
Jeffrey
But this one, you're wearing costumes. So fun.
Kevin
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.
Brooke
Yeah.
Kevin
Whereas my friends just wanted to keep drinking they didn't care about the social part.
Jeffrey
Okay, so I'll hook up with your friends after we're done with this call, because they seem like my type of people.
Brooke
How did you and Calista. I mean, like, what was the connection between you two? What did you have in common?
Kevin
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 looked. The cheaper the better. We really. We realized.
Brooke
Oh, interesting.
Kevin
Like, nothing that looked like it was just pulled off the shelf of spirit. Halloween the hours before, like, the big tacos.
Jeffrey
Okay, so you're bonding over the shared interest of judging other people for their weird costume decisions.
Brooke
Costume decisions is what it was.
Jeffrey
Yeah. Okay, well, that could be fun. So how did the night go?
Kevin
I thought it was going great. I mean, we were just 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. Like, 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.
Jose
Oh, that's awesome.
Jeffrey
All right, so you and Calista made a lot of enemies that night.
Brooke
Probably.
Jeffrey
It sounds like you're in your own.
Jose
World, and that's all that matters, is you two. Right. Even if someone's upset, you're like, oh, my God, we really made that guy mad.
Jeffrey
Let's make out. Yeah.
Brooke
Yeah. Wait, did that happen? Did you make out?
Jose
Yeah, good question.
Kevin
I wouldn't call it a make out, but, yeah. At the last bar of the night. We definitely kissed at the bar. We kissed. Yeah, that happened.
Jeffrey
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?
Kevin
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.
Jeffrey
Like, you're a bad dancer or you won't even try.
Kevin
All of the above.
Jose
Did she try to pull you in and dance with you at some point? You said no.
Kevin
Multiple times. Multiple times.
Jeffrey
You may seem like you're not fun.
Brooke
Then you know 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.
Jose
Even Bad dancing is fun dancing.
Brooke
Yeah, exactly.
Jeffrey
That's exactly what bad dancers say. All that matters is I'm having a good time. Last place in the dance concert. So what?
Jose
I'm kicked off every dance floor?
Jeffrey
So you're thinking that she's just turned off because you came across as kind of a party pooper. Is that right?
Kevin
Yeah, I think she might think I'm just some stick in the mud or a bit of a lame O and I. 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.
Brooke
Maybe. Maybe having a radio station call will prove that you're a fun guy, you know?
Kevin
There we go. Yeah.
Jeffrey
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?
Alexis
I mean. Yeah, I can't look bad alone out there.
Brooke
Yeah.
Alexis
Come down with me.
Jose
True.
Brooke
Think of all the weddings you have to go to in the future if you end up a couple. Yeah. Dancing is such an important part. All right, social life.
Jeffrey
Well, let's see if, ironically, you dug your own grave on Halloween. Bar crawl 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, it's really funny he chooses not to.
Brooke
That's right.
Jeffrey
Because he's embarrassed about his lack of dance moves.
Jose
Oh, his feet aren't loose at all.
Brooke
Reverse.
Jeffrey
Yes, that's exactly what we're dealing with today. Reverse Footloose for our listener, Evan, who met a woman named Calista during a Halloween bar crawl. But when Calista tried to get him out on the dance floor, he said, no, sweetheart. Yes, Daddy. Don't move like that.
Alexis
Boring movie.
Brooke
He just sits in the corner.
Jeffrey
Saddest movie ever. Is that the reason that Kalista's been avoiding another hangout? We're trying to get to the bottom of it today with your Halloween themed second date update. Yes, I was hoping someone else would jump in and carry.
Brooke
I was hoping that he would answer you.
Jeffrey
Oh, yeah.
Alexis
Where is he?
Kevin
I'm still here.
Jose
Was that.
Jeffrey
Was that a terrifying recap for you, Evan?
Kevin
Yeah, it was, kind of. I was like, oh, no, this is probably gonna go bad.
Brooke
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, yeah.
Jeffrey
May have nothing to do with your dancing. Might just be your personality sucks, bro.
Brooke
You're out in costume. You're not looking for a relationship typically. So maybe that's just not where her head was at.
Jeffrey
You think she's a floozy?
Brooke
No, I don't.
Jose
Wow, Brooke. Why would you say that?
Jeffrey
What do you think? I don't really know.
Brooke
I just mean, like, you're out partying on Halloween. It's not meant to be more dates.
Jose
Yeah, the guy had, like, a fun makeout and doesn't accept that it was just a fun.
Brooke
Yeah, yeah, that's all it is. Why does everyone else get me except Jeff?
Jose
I don't know if Jeff's ever had just a fun makeout.
Brooke
Okay.
Jose
Want to try one?
Jeffrey
No, thanks. I mean, could that be the case, Evan, where you're taking this as a more serious connection than what Calista saw it as more of? Like a one night function thing?
Kevin
That could be the case. I guess I just misread it.
Brooke
I don't think that's bad. I think it's something you can fix. Yeah, right.
Jeffrey
Clearly he wants more, and so we're putting in the effort. We're gonna at least call and try and figure out why.
Jose
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.
Brooke
Because I only made out with hot guys when I was single.
Alexis
I would never drunkly make out with someone.
Jose
You look like Star Lord.
Jeffrey
Okay, yeah, let's not undermine anybody's confidence. We're just going to call her and hopefully she picks up, but here we go.
Calista
Hello?
Jeffrey
Hey, we're looking to speak with Calista.
Calista
Yeah, who's this?
Jeffrey
Hey, this is a radio show. We're called Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning.
Jose
Hey, good morning.
Calista
Hi.
Jeffrey
This is a segment that we do. It's called A Second Day to Update.
Calista
Okay.
Jeffrey
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.
Brooke
He described a really drunk hangout between the two of you.
Jeffrey
Cool, drunk, fun. It was all the emotions, Halloween time. I'm talking about a guy named Evan.
Brooke
Yeah, okay, maybe she likes him to be called Star Lord instead, and that is a problem blub. Is that right, Kalista? Star Lord. You like that better?
Calista
Not necessarily.
Jeffrey
All right, well, 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.
Calista
I mean, we had a fun night, but it was what it was like.
Kevin
It didn't.
Calista
I don't think it's like a long term thing.
Brooke
I mean, is that just because it was Halloween and you were at a bar crawl and it's just a few drinks deep? Yeah. That's not where your mind was at?
Kevin
No.
Calista
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 and it was just like a real turn off for me.
Brooke
Oh, turn off.
Jeffrey
Are you saying you had a conversation? Because we heard that you talked about other people's costumes and how horrible they were.
Brooke
Yeah, that's the serious. It sounds like she's talking about.
Jeffrey
She could read it as a serious. This guy's really judgmental about other people and their last minute outfit ideas.
Calista
No, I think that was. That was the fun part. 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 to dance in front of everyone for hours. 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.
Brooke
All of that sounds so serious. He's probably just trying to share a light hearted story to make you laugh about why he can't dance.
Jose
School play one time, but he still.
Calista
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.
Jeffrey
Okay, so you see your point. You took him very, very serious with that comment.
Calista
Like I asked him to dance like three times. Like he was serious about it.
Brooke
Okay.
Jeffrey
And his reason for not dancing, that he told you, was that when he was 10 years old, his mom forced.
Brooke
Him to in a play.
Jeffrey
In a play.
Kevin
It wasn't for a play. It was for the town festival where everybody was watching.
Jeffrey
Yeah, sorry about that, Calista, but Evan is actually on the other line listening in on this call. That's how this segment works.
Brooke
Yeah.
Kevin
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 think at 16, I stopped refusing to do it.
Jose
And because you scarred you from Halloween.
Jeffrey
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.
Kevin
You're making me say it again?
Jeffrey
Okay, sorry.
Jake
My mom.
Kevin
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.
Jose
Put a pumpkin on your head?
Jeffrey
I love that.
Brooke
God, why couldn't she have gone with something cool, like just made you do Thriller or something?
Kevin
I became Pumpkin man to everybody. I was known as Pumpkin man every year.
Calista
Yeah, but, like, it was such a long time ago. Like, I just. If you're not gonna have fun and dance as an adult like a grown man, it's just, like, a lot of issues.
Jose
Well, not everyone likes to dance. We have friends that don't like to dance.
Brooke
Sounds like Calista and your mom may have more in common than you realize.
Kevin
Well, look, I.
Jake
You're right.
Jeffrey
Oh, you gave him the ick, Brooke.
Kevin
I probably. I shouldn't have brought it up. I should have gotten out there.
Calista
But, like, 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.
Brooke
Because.
Calista
Because of this experience when you're 10.
Kevin
It was just the idea that you were just, like, trying so hard to make me dance, and it just. It was like you were my mom. In that moment, all I could think about was being the pumpkin man in my pumpkin helmet forced to dance in front of everybody.
Jeffrey
So, Calista, 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.
Jose
The floor with you.
Calista
We're not inviting anyone's moms to wedding.
Brooke
I think you're thinking of it this the wrong way, though, Calista. 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.
Calista
I mean, honestly, I was gonna 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.
Brooke
Okay. I mean, good luck with that.
Jeffrey
That's totally fair.
Calista
Like, does that not exist?
Jeffrey
No, it's 100% 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.
Jose
Oh, that's all I got to do. I'm perfect now.
Brooke
We're joking. But I think that what he's trying to say is that everybody comes with baggage. Okay. And if you're baggage. Baggage is simply that you are a little traumatized to dance. Like, that's pretty light baggage.
Alexis
You can say you're dating the pumpkin King.
Brooke
Yeah, right.
Calista
I mean, all right, but you have to dance with me next time we're going. Dan, I. Second date. I'm only going if you go dancing with me.
Jose
Wow.
Brooke
Oh, my God.
Jeffrey
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.
Kevin
I mean, I. I'd be open to wearing still that pumpkin skin tight suit, just not the helmet that just shows.
Jeffrey
Off his guns at this point.
Brooke
I. All right, so I'm gonna go with don't wear that.
Jeffrey
Yeah, but it's up to you, man.
Brooke
Her own trauma.
Jose
I mean, I wouldn't even carve pumpkins as a couple. I would just stay away from them.
Jeffrey
Yeah, that's our suggestion. But again, this is your decision, Evan. And Calista did say she was up for giving you one more chance if you danced.
Kevin
Yeah, let's do it. I'll get out there. I'll show what little moves I have.
Jose
All right.
Brooke
No one expects guys to have mini moves.
Jeffrey
Why do I feel like after, like, six or seven years as, like, the pumpkin guy, he's gonna be the best dance.
Alexis
They let him come back every year.
Jeffrey
Lord of the Pumpkins is what he is.
Calista
Yeah. I mean, I'm. I'm. I'm proud of you. I mean, I'm. I was.
Jeffrey
Careful, you're sounding like his mom now.
Calista
I was expecting to say no, like, 100%, so I think you handled it really well.
Brooke
So that's actually pretty cool.
Jose
Dance, gentlemen.
Kevin
All right, all right.
Jeffrey
We're back to Kevin Bacon again.
Calista
Here we go.
Jose
Brooke and Jeffrey and the morning.
Jeffrey
Oh, man, I forgot to ask if she wanted to go with him to his therapy session after they got appetizers and chilies. Oh, that's where I went wrong with this. It's the perfect pairing. Little baby back ribs followed by some traumatized kids.
Brooke
Oh, man. I mean, gosh, if. If this was your mom, Jeffrey, she would have already sent us the video of you doing the dance in the orange spandex and talked about how good your jazz hands were.
Jeffrey
Yeah, but that's the Thing. My mom continues to traumatize me well into adulthood.
Brooke
Got it. I'm nothing to do with the past.
Jeffrey
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 78592 if you think they're actually a good match for each other.
Brooke
Okay. Yeah. And share your trauma stories from your childhood.
Jeffrey
Is that what we want? I don't know if we want on the text board.
Brooke
We all have them.
Alexis
Okay, how about bad dancing videos instead?
Jeffrey
Bad dancing videos? Send your childhood traumas directly to Brooke's Instagram. We don't want that. Brookefoxfox. Yeah. Is that right?
Brooke
Yeah. We're trauma bonded now.
Jeffrey
There we go. And remember, you can find all of your second date updates. We put em up on our podcast wherever you get them at. BrookeandJeffrey.
Brooke
Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
Jeffrey
Tonight, the hunt is on. Children all over the country will be out sprinting door to door trying to pack their buckets with as much sweet, sugary, delicious candy as physically possible.
Brooke
You can do it, kids.
Jeffrey
And while some houses hand out chocolate and some give out lollipops and Brooke gives out life advice written on raisin boxes.
Jose
Come on, bro.
Brooke
Man, it makes an impact.
Jeffrey
Not me. I'm not waiting till sundown. I'm giving everyone a real treat right now in the form of my special Halloween song of the week. It's coming up right after this. It is time for a very special Halloween themed song of the week.
Brooke
Yes.
Alexis
Yes.
Jeffrey
It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. And maybe you're watching this on YouTube right now and you can see what we're all wearing. If you're not, it's BrookeandJeffrey. Like, follow, subscribe. Yeah, Just say it's pretty evil.
Brooke
Thank you, Captain Hook.
Jeffrey
But if you're in your cars right now or you're at home doing whatever you're doing, doing. You can't see us. We are all dressed as evil Disney villains. You got something in your throat, Brooke. We get it. We get it. Brooks. Ursula. Yes. Alexis is Cruella de Vil. Jose is the evil witch Maleficent.
Brooke
Yeah.
Jeffrey
And I am Captain Hook. So with these costume choices, it just makes. Since we're all dressed like this.
Brooke
Yes.
Jeffrey
Shouldn't my song represent for all of the evil Disney villains who get the least amount of love and the least appreciation for all of the plotting that they do?
Brooke
That's right.
Jose
That would Be great, Jim.
Brooke
There's so much work to be a villain.
Jeffrey
It sure is. It's not easy to be that dastardly and manipulative. I don't know how Brooke does it. Every single day I'm staring at her, right, right now she's got RSFW resting sea witch face. So I feel like all of us in here, out there, listening, we all need to join in in celebrating the bad guys who work so, so hard to make the heroes actually look good.
Brooke
Who's the real star?
Jose
Yeah, it's true.
Jeffrey
They love us. And I want this song to be a big celebration for all of them. Almost as if they were walking down the street in a massive villain parade.
Jose
That'd be fun.
Jeffrey
That's why today, instead of doing the famous song from Aladdin, make way for Prince Ali, it's Young Jeffrey's no Shame in Villainy.
Jose
And we're doing it Disney style.
Jeffrey
That's right. So I'm in a point when I'm ready.
Brooke
Here we go.
Jeffrey
Points.
Jose
Make way for villainy.
Jeffrey
No shame in villainy. They cheat and they scheme like a work of art Mark Wahlberg would say that they're wicked smart they'll trick and deceive you and even hypnotized but don't make a fuss they're inglorious Cause that's how you social climb Nobody does sorcery quite like Jafar does Cobra staffed sociopath with the goatee he'll play you like you're a pawn Then make himself the sultan But Jasmine's hot with red on we'd all agree viciously Ursula, she's witch of the agua in the dreg she'll give you legs Contractually she'll use your own vocal cords to steal the man that was yours. One spicy plate of offshore calamari Take a bite from their poisonous apple Looks delicious, doesn't believe us. Slippers in long beauty sleeves no one should be grateful Hear the sound of their villainous cackles? They talk into mirrors Just want to hear that the fairest of all is me. Ultra chic at Fashion Week Mrs. Cruella her boutique made people shriek so derelict they're jealous cause her fit slap Won't find your stuff at the Gap so.
Jose
Shut your ethical trap those Hush Puppies. There's a captain with a hook so fantasy in a wig that's been quashed perfectly all the crocs say his flesh tastes like candy Keeps on chasing Boat full of goons Sword crossing loons He's a model of piracy Yell at Sea such cruelty. Backstabby family be so cat Mufasa when.
Jeffrey
It'S through Frame your nephew for the stampede. They're masters of the betrayal the barons.
Jose
Of the Black Veil with 16 henchmen Sidekicks Gorna got secret layers on day.
Jeffrey
The flood goes diabolical pathological super cunning that is great day for.
Brooke
Let's go.
Jeffrey
Let's go sing my mustache off.
Brooke
Oh, my gosh. I can't believe you didn't lose another hand doing that. That was incredible.
Jeffrey
Well, we as villains are incredible. And it's finally time that we get our roses.
Brooke
Thank you. Yes, thank you.
Jeffrey
Even if the roses are cursed and are meant to put a spell on.
Brooke
You, is there a movie where the villain isn't there the best dressed?
Jose
That's true. I just wish I had more better powers. Like, all I can do is, like, predict something's gonna happen. Yeah, yeah. But I can disappear.
Brooke
And you got skin like Angelina Jolie, so.
Jeffrey
That's true.
Jose
That's true.
Brooke
Very small, very hot.
Jeffrey
That is your song of the week for Halloween. And for all the Disney villains out there, you can check out the video up on our socials at Brooke and Jeffrey, on YouTube, on tick tock, on Instagram. All the places places go like and comment and subscribe.
Brooke
Happy Halloween.
Jeffrey
Happy Halloween, everybody. We're going to do a Halloween phone tab coming up right after this text in to 78592 says, I'm looking at your show. Halloween pictures. Yes, thank you. And Brooke needs to fire whoever did her Ursula makeup.
Brooke
I know Brooke.
Jeffrey
No, come on.
Jake
Don't look.
Jose
You don't understand.
Jeffrey
She's Ursula with ocean eczema. I mean, it's a whole layer.
Brooke
You're not wrong. Think about it. She lives under the water all this time, and then she comes up and her skin's just supposed to be flawless? I think not.
Jeffrey
I do know something that'll cheer Brooke up, though. Is returning player Kevin is back to take you on in trivia today. Or is it a vampire? Count Kevin, are you there?
Kevin
It is I, Kevin. And I am going to destroy Brooke today.
Jeffrey
I was gonna ask. I bet you could nail the Dracula laugh, but you totally did it. Brook's been working on her Ursula laugh, too.
Calista
Yeah, I can't.
Kevin
I'm actually dressed up as a vampire clown right now.
Jose
What the heck?
Brooke
I mean, I guess you combine zombie with everything. Like zombie cheerleader, zombie football player. Why not vampire also, like, sexy anything. Yeah, why does vampire always stick with just black? You know, vampires need color, too.
Jose
Vampire lug nuts. Who knows what I'm gonna be.
Brooke
Oh, like for how to train your dragon?
Jose
No, no, like a lug nut.
Kevin
What are you talking about, Jose?
Jose
I thought we were combining random things.
Jeffrey
I love Dracula. Kevin has a little bit of attitude to him. In fact, you scared Brooke right out of the studio. So we can get to the game here, Kev, you know how it works. You got 30 seconds to answer as many questions as possible. If you don't know, and you could say pass. But you have to beat Brooke outright if you want to win. Are you ready?
Kevin
I'm ready. Let's do this, dude.
Jose
All right, we got the count on the line.
Jeffrey
This is awesome. Here we go. Good luck, man. Your time starts now. Overlook Hotel is the location of what famous 1970s horror movie starring Jack Nicholson?

Jeffrey
Before pumpkins, what root vegetables did the Irish and Scottish carve on? How Halloween squash. What's the only mammal that can fly?
Kevin

Jeffrey
We need to say non scary mammal.
Jose

Jeffrey
We can't accept that answer. It was. Brooke is back in the room. Kev, that was awesome though.
Jose
Great.
Jeffrey
I am curious. What are. What are you doing doing for Halloween this year? Are you partying? You staying in? You handing out candy? What's the plan?
Kevin
Well, I'm going to be taking my kids trick or treating. But I also have a 12 foot skeleton in front of my castle. So I'm going to be scaring the bejeebies out of many, many children.
Jose
Do you get a lot of trick or treaters in Transylvania?
Kevin
Yes and no. It just depends if I destroy them or not.
Jose
Probably the Village People.
Brooke
Well, they just keeps coming every year. Cuz they never die after they go to his house. You know, trick or treaters, he said.
Jeffrey
That's a good point. All the blood you can drink though, at Dracula's parties.
Jose
Great.
Jeffrey
So, Kev, you sit tight. It's Brook's turn. Are you.
Jose
It's Ursula's turn.
Jeffrey
Ursula. Excuse me.
Brooke
Don't forget the importance of body language.

Kev, man, I'm sorry it wasn't enough today. But just for playing, we are giving you a 25 Disney gift card. Valid at any Disney resort, theme park, or online in the Disney store.
Kevin
Ooh, I'm going to get some new vampire PJs with that.
Jeffrey
