Following is a paid political announcement.
Unnamed Speaker 1
Where have you been? I haven't seen you in a while.
Unnamed Speaker 2
Eh, I've been in jail.
Unnamed Speaker 1
Whatever for?
Unnamed Speaker 2
Excessive masturbation. I can't believe the laws in this country.
Unnamed Speaker 1
You got that right. That's why I'm voting for Chick McGee for Congress.
Unnamed Speaker 2
Chick McGee? Never heard of him.
Unnamed Speaker 1
You've never heard of Chick McGee? Why, he's the Rosa Parks of excessive public masturbation.
Unnamed Speaker 2
You mean he did it on a bus?
Unnamed Speaker 1
I'm not sure, but probably, yeah.
Unnamed Speaker 2
I guess he does stand for the little guy. Not like his opponent, Jack Wilson. This year, I think I'm going to vote Jack off the ballot and pull the handle of Chick McGee for Congress.
Chick McGee
Hello, I'm Chick Magee and I'm running for Congress in your district. Masturbation is no crime. And I promise you that as your congressman, I'll take a hard stance in Washington. Right after I take a nap.
Christopher

Christopher
Bob and Tom show is still trying to wake up. In the meantime, more Bob and Tom Extra.
Chick McGee
Hello, Tom.
Unnamed Speaker 3
Hello, Chick McGee.
Chick McGee
You remember Dwyane Wade. He won an NBA championship. Sure, three or nine with LeBron and Chris Bosh and all those. Remember LeBron? I'm going to take my talents to South Beach. Oh, he's going down there to hang out with Dwyane Wade. Well, the Miami Heat have unveiled a Dwyane Wade statue outside the Kasea K A S E Y A Center. And they also named the court the Pat Riley Court to honor the NBA hall of Fame guards impact on the team of the Miami Heat and the city of Miami.
Unnamed Speaker 3
Whenever I hear the name Dwyane Wade, it sounds like. I hate webs.
Chick McGee
There's only one problem. Do we have the picture? Jason?
Unnamed Speaker 4
Yeah.
Chick McGee
Does anybody think that looks like Dwyane Wade?
Unnamed Speaker 3
Not at all.
Unnamed Speaker 5
Oh, my.
Unnamed Speaker 6
I have a. I'd have to look up second statue in a couple of weeks. It doesn't look like the person wasn't.
Unnamed Speaker 3
The worst one ever. That one of Lucille Ball.
Unnamed Speaker 6
Well, remember they took it down. Yeah. You know, something happens in bronze. I don't know what it is.
Unnamed Speaker 3
That looks nothing like Dwayne Wade.
Unnamed Speaker 5
That is not even close.
Chick McGee
Well, they have.
Unnamed Speaker 3
The eyes are too close. It looks like if he'd been beaten with.
Chick McGee
There. That's Wayne O.
Unnamed Speaker 4
See?
Chick McGee
That's him.
Unnamed Speaker 3
You think so?
Chick McGee
Yeah.
Unnamed Speaker 3
See, I think the statue looks like him.
Chick McGee
No, no, no, no. I don't at all. No. I don't know why he's screaming like that. I don't.
Unnamed Speaker 4
All right.
Chick McGee
Like Edvard Monker or whatever.
Unnamed Speaker 3
I see.
Chick McGee
I see the silent scream now.
Unnamed Speaker 5
Yeah.
Unnamed Speaker 3
You asked me earlier if I had ever been to a freak show. And you didn't.
Chick McGee
Have you. That used to be. When I was there, it was a pretty big deal at the Ohio State Fair. Actually. There was a big section that.
Unnamed Speaker 3
And it was primarily one of the most popular sections. People who were disabled.
Chick McGee
Certainly. That's where I.
Unnamed Speaker 3
You had to pay extra to go in at the fair.
Unnamed Speaker 6
Right. It wasn't. It was like an attraction. It was like a ride.
Unnamed Speaker 3
It was. I'm like 50 cents. Except if you want to see Lobster Boy. It was market price. Was really had the freaky hands.
Chick McGee
Lobster Boy was there every year.
Unnamed Speaker 4
Did you ever see a geek?
Chick McGee
All the big ones, a geek.
Unnamed Speaker 4
They. They. Geeks are people who bite the heads off chickens.
Unnamed Speaker 3
Yeah.
Unnamed Speaker 4
Did you ever see.
Unnamed Speaker 6
No.
Unnamed Speaker 3
Yeah. We had him in the building.
Unnamed Speaker 4
You got a geek in here? What?
Unnamed Speaker 3
We had the Jim Rose Sideshow Circus.
Unnamed Speaker 4
Yeah.
Chick McGee
But they weren't biting heads off chickens.
Unnamed Speaker 5
Yeah.
Unnamed Speaker 6
He didn't bite.
Unnamed Speaker 3
They were eating light bulbs and stuff.
Unnamed Speaker 4
Oh, okay. I think a geek is specifically a chicken.
Unnamed Speaker 3
Oh, just the chicken thing. Oh, I didn't know. I thought it would just in general, why do they.
Unnamed Speaker 6
Today the word people. Geek.
Unnamed Speaker 3
I was just gonna say today, geek kind of means snurd and stuff.
Unnamed Speaker 4
Yeah.
Unnamed Speaker 5
Yeah.
Unnamed Speaker 3
Some computer guy who's sitting in his office all day making millions of dollars, laughing at all of us discovering some software thing that's gonna make him rich.
Chick McGee
He's horrible.
Unnamed Speaker 3
But I'm a geek, but have we completed the sports campaign?
Chick McGee
Yes, sir.
Unnamed Speaker 3
Is that correct? Okay, so we are indeed going to head over to the Silac Insurance news.
Unnamed Speaker 5
Desk, include the sports. I'll do a little tribute for Chick and the fabulous game last night.
Unnamed Speaker 3
Okay. Once again, the big Hail Mary and the Washington Football Club is a huge victory. With nothing left on. The quarterback runs around, heaves the ball. It's just an amazing feat.
Unnamed Speaker 5
Oh, for you, buddy.
Chick McGee
Okay.
Unnamed Speaker 5
What a night. Boy, oh, boy. Washington was behind with two seconds. Noah Brown says a Hail Mary came to me. Streaming from his chair was chick Magee. Chick McGee. They pulled it off successfully. A Hail Mary. Chick McGee screaming from his chair. Commanders when. Chicken McGee.
Chick McGee
What a night.
Unnamed Speaker 3
Oh, yay.
Chick McGee
A lot of barking. A lot of yellow.
Unnamed Speaker 3
Oh, the dogs are barking.
Chick McGee
Oh, yeah. They like. They bark every. I had them trained. I don't know how it happened, but they bark when we score touchdown because.
Unnamed Speaker 6
You jump up and probably.
Chick McGee
I. I guess. I don't know.
Unnamed Speaker 3
That's crazy.
Chick McGee
Maybe.
Unnamed Speaker 4
That's so fun.
Chick McGee
I didn't get. I haven't got the bandanas out yet, but I do have. I have the. I have merch for the dog. O. Yeah, sure.
Unnamed Speaker 3
Lady over there is Christy Lee. She has the big K in her cap. Yes.
Unnamed Speaker 6
Thank you, Jake McGee, for my Christmas gift.
Chick McGee
You're welcome.
Unnamed Speaker 3
And if you're wondering, Christie's had some eye surgery, so the light from above is a little troubling. So she's finally wearing her cap.
Unnamed Speaker 6
Finally figured out the problem.
Unnamed Speaker 4
Oh.
Unnamed Speaker 6
I don't know if you'll recall, but five years ago, I got headbutted by a horse. Y'all remember that wonderful incident? Well, apparently there was a little bit of nerve damage done when that happened.
Unnamed Speaker 4
No kidding.
Unnamed Speaker 6
That has caused this. Be a little bit longer of a recovery period than most. Yeah.
Unnamed Speaker 4
Is it too late to sue that horse?
Unnamed Speaker 6
That horse is long gone.
Unnamed Speaker 3
Did you.
Chick McGee
What'd you do to it?
Unnamed Speaker 3
Wait a minute.
Progressive Insurance
Did you.
Chick McGee
No.
Unnamed Speaker 6
He moved to California.
Unnamed Speaker 3
Didn't you have a song about Christy getting kicked in the face?
Unnamed Speaker 5
Christy went to a polo party with the polo ponies all around There was wine and cheese and high noons and the DJ was spinning new sounds Christy had a few wines and was feeling no pain Having fun and getting buzzed she went to nuzzle a cute little horsey but he wasn't feeling it just because Headbutted at a party by a horse with no name and now her eye is black and inflamed at the party she couldn't remember her name and there Ain't no bills for to give. Date everybody one more time.

Unnamed Speaker 3
Okay. Okay, good. You're okay.
Unnamed Speaker 6
So called influencer. And I know how much you love those. Dominant. This one is in Brazil. Claims she used her own menstrual blood to create a Halloween costume on the character Chucky.
Unnamed Speaker 4
Is that right?
Unnamed Speaker 3
Now, you're a big Chucky fan, right?
Unnamed Speaker 4
I am a fan of those.
Unnamed Speaker 3
Don't you have a Chucky?
Unnamed Speaker 4
I do now.
Chick McGee
Isn't there Chucky movies and Chucky TV shows?
Unnamed Speaker 4
That's right. The TV show has been canceled.
Chick McGee
No.
Unnamed Speaker 4
After three very successful seasons. It makes no sense, but hey, no kidding.
Unnamed Speaker 3
I've never seen the Chucky one. This is the talking doll. What's the deal with Chucky?
Unnamed Speaker 4
Yeah. Yeah. The first child's play. A serial killer moves his body or his soul and spirit into the doll.
Unnamed Speaker 6
A doll?
Chick McGee
Yeah.
Unnamed Speaker 4
Yes. Brad, the great Brad De Ryf plays him.
Unnamed Speaker 3
Is there a lady Chucky or just.
Unnamed Speaker 4
Yes. Tiffany, played by Jennifer Tilly, is Chucky's love. Yes.
Unnamed Speaker 3
And so this woman is dressed as the female Chucky.
Unnamed Speaker 6
Ms. Larissa Sumpani posted photos of herself dressed as Chucky.
Unnamed Speaker 4
Okay.
Unnamed Speaker 6
From the horror movie franchise.
Unnamed Speaker 4
As you would imagine, sexy, chunky outfits.
Unnamed Speaker 6
Saying she splattered herself with her own period blood to make her appearance more gory. Ms. Subhani said it was the perfect choice to make the costume look more realistic and visceral. The move proved to be divisive amid her fan base.
Unnamed Speaker 4
I would think so.
Unnamed Speaker 6
She told JAM press, quote, I received a lot of criticism from friends and even family. But she defended her decision, saying, quote, I think Halloween is about breaking free from conventions and exploring the darker side of oneself.
Unnamed Speaker 3
Next year, Carrie, or she'll be collecting. Collecting blood from her friends.
Unnamed Speaker 6
Yikes.
Unnamed Speaker 3
Well, that is.
Unnamed Speaker 4
That's too much. That's too far.
Unnamed Speaker 6
You think it's too much?
Unnamed Speaker 4
Plenty of great fake blood out there. Yeah. Karo syrup and some red dot, right?
Chick McGee
Yeah.
Unnamed Speaker 5
How many Chucky movies are there?
Unnamed Speaker 4
Oh, Child's Play. Child's Play two, Child's Play three, Bride of Chucky, Seed of Chucky, Cult of Chucky.
Unnamed Speaker 5
There's even songs.
Unnamed Speaker 4
Curse of Chucky. Really?
Chick McGee
Now in the TV show, Brad de Reef and Jennifer Tilly Reprieve reprise their roles.
Unnamed Speaker 4
They sure do.
Chick McGee
Oh, no kidding.
Unnamed Speaker 4
Yeah. Yeah.
Chick McGee
That's great.
Unnamed Speaker 4
Yeah.
Chick McGee
Wow.
Unnamed Speaker 4
Yes.
Chick McGee
That's. That's.
Unnamed Speaker 3
So what does Chucky does? Wanders around killing people.
Unnamed Speaker 4
Yeah. Yeah. I mean, he was a serial Killer Charles Lee Ray, you know, and he was.
Chick McGee
Was it a My Buddy doll? Is that what it was?
Unnamed Speaker 4
Basically a Good Guy doll. Yeah, but it was. Of course, it was definitely a My Buddy.
Chick McGee
You remember the My Buddy dolls? They were kind of almost like 18 inches tall or something.
Unnamed Speaker 4
My body.
Unnamed Speaker 5
There was even a hit song wherever I. Oh, yeah.
Unnamed Speaker 4
For Chucky.
Unnamed Speaker 5
Chucky's in Love. You remember that one, right?
Chick McGee
Christ, I think he's even combing his hair.
Unnamed Speaker 3
Great song.
Unnamed Speaker 6
You don't have to put your pumpkins in the trash this year. There are plenty of alternatives. That's right. Consider composting pumpkins in your garden.
Chick McGee
Yeah, I'll get right on that.
Unnamed Speaker 6
Or donating them to community gardens. Just be sure to remove any decorative materials and candle wax before you do it.
Chick McGee
There's some lunatic out here with a garbage bag full of pumpkins.
Unnamed Speaker 6
You can also donate your pumpkins to local farms, zoos, or sanctuaries for animals to snack on.
Unnamed Speaker 4
I love that.
Unnamed Speaker 6
I know. Our orangutans at the zoo love pumpkins over the weekend. Yes.
Unnamed Speaker 4
Well, they eat the rind and everything. They just.
Unnamed Speaker 6
I think they just.
Unnamed Speaker 3
They cut in half, these undecorated pumpkins. I mean, you don't.
Unnamed Speaker 6
Well, yeah.
Unnamed Speaker 3
Can you carve the ice and stuff out?
Unnamed Speaker 4
Right. Can you donate your Jack O lanterns?
Unnamed Speaker 6
I get. Yeah, as long as you take the wax out, it says okay. But those are kind of. They get kind of icky on the inside. I can't.
Unnamed Speaker 4
I don't think. I know locally, a pig farm accepts a lot of Jack O Lantern stuff, so I don't think they're that picky, is what I'm saying.
Unnamed Speaker 6
The group Pumpkins for Pigs has an interactive US Map of places Josh that will accept donations of uncarved, undecorated pumpkins. Homeowners may also consider feeding the local wildlife with salvaged pumpkin seeds serving as a tasty treat for local birds.
Unnamed Speaker 4
Okay. Because normally I just throw my launch mine off my deck.
Unnamed Speaker 3
And then you'll have pumpkins in the spring. Typically, it hasn't happened yet. Happens. Happened to me all the time at my house.
Chick McGee
All the time.
Unnamed Speaker 6
All the time.
Unnamed Speaker 3
Every year. Yeah.
Chick McGee
So if I go over to your house right now, you've got pumpkin plants as far as the.
Unnamed Speaker 3
I can see old house. Yeah, absolutely.
Chick McGee
Is that right? 10.
Unnamed Speaker 3
Why don't you go there right now? It's only 10 minutes.
Chick McGee
10 pumpkin plants.
Unnamed Speaker 3
I'll call, get the code for you.
Unnamed Speaker 4
You really did have a pumpkin growing.
Chick McGee
I don't believe it for a second.
Unnamed Speaker 3
Yes.
Unnamed Speaker 4
Oh, that's cool.
Unnamed Speaker 3
Correct answer. Ask anyone.
Unnamed Speaker 4
Yeah.
Unnamed Speaker 5
I can't believe it.
Unnamed Speaker 6
You had the plants and a pumpkin actually came. Grew.
Unnamed Speaker 5
Yes.
Unnamed Speaker 6
That's cool.
Unnamed Speaker 4
I. I think the animals are getting to mine too.
Unnamed Speaker 3
I used to have several acres of woods at my house.
Chick McGee
A pumpkin big enough to carve.
Unnamed Speaker 3
Yes. Is that gonna make you happy?
Chick McGee
I don't. I don't. I. You just spew these lies and no one ever calls you on them. And I feel like.
Unnamed Speaker 6
Wait a minute. Look who's talking.
Unnamed Speaker 3
What I like to do is. Now, as you know, yesterday Chick was mad at me because I didn't watch his team play football. Because I had a pumpkin carving party.
Chick McGee
Disappointed.
Unnamed Speaker 3
And thanks to Josh, I had some pumpkin tools of the gloves. And I've got it worked out. Yeah, those were great.
Chick McGee
And then some guy sent me some pumpkin tools.
Unnamed Speaker 3
I'm carve another one this week. Some guy sent me a. What's it called? A dremel.
Unnamed Speaker 4
Oh, sure.
Unnamed Speaker 3
A pumpkin dremel thing. I got to try that up. But yeah, I actually carved the phrase trick or treat into a pumpkin.
Unnamed Speaker 4
Not easy.
Unnamed Speaker 3
Not easy indeed.
Unnamed Speaker 6
Here's a stencil that really brings the.
Chick McGee
Holiday home, doesn't it? Wow.
Unnamed Speaker 3
You know what I like about doing an early pumpkin?
Unnamed Speaker 6
What do you like about doing?
Unnamed Speaker 3
Because it reminds me of the inevitability of Chick's death. My goodness.
Chick McGee
Hang on a second. I thought we would just have fun. I gotta. I gotta admire your moxie. I gotta tell you that I came out of nowhere.
Unnamed Speaker 3
Really did come out of nowhere.
Chick McGee
But I understand how we're playing now.
Unnamed Speaker 3
Josh, you know what I'm saying? Christy, you carve a pumpkin early.
Unnamed Speaker 6
Yeah.
Unnamed Speaker 3
And by the time Halloween comes around, kind of the mold is kicked in.
Unnamed Speaker 4
Oh, boy.
Unnamed Speaker 3
Sometimes. Sometimes the squirrels eat barn.
Chick McGee
I've been in the ground three or four days by then.
Unnamed Speaker 4
Yeah, well, you.
Chick McGee
I got you.
Unnamed Speaker 4
You threw a pie in his face. He dropped an anvil followed by atomic bomb.
Unnamed Speaker 3
It's the inevitability of the death of all of us. By the way we were talking other day, I was talking about the drug commercials on television for the pharmaceuticals. And it's always people and it's always this very diverse group of people at this party that doesn't exist, you know? Hi, there's my Asian friend. Oh, look, there's a gay couple. Oh, this is America. Everyone is represented in this commercial. They had one of the day. I saw when they're using. What's it called? Is it a trebuchet? What is it with the. They're launching pumpkins. In the commercial.
Unnamed Speaker 4
Oh, they are? Yeah, the pumpkin chunkin.
Christopher
Yeah.
Unnamed Speaker 3
So I guess they have no seasonal for, you know, I forget what it was for because all these pharmaceuticals, it's never, you know, some poor guy with an IV and a death's door. It's always someone kayaking in a parish, parasailing out there. And then followed by the inevitability, my death.
Chick McGee
I know.
Unnamed Speaker 3
No, no, no. Followed by the, the ridiculous disclaimers, for God's sake.
Unnamed Speaker 6
But who literally watches those shows and goes, wow, I have lung cancer. I'm going to go to my doctor and ask.
Unnamed Speaker 4
It's a problem.
Unnamed Speaker 3
Yeah, no, but they do.
Unnamed Speaker 6
They do.
Unnamed Speaker 3
Sure, absolutely.
Chick McGee
Absolutely.
Unnamed Speaker 3
Talk to, do you talk to some of your doctor. People walk in, they go, hey doc, can I get this stuff?
Unnamed Speaker 4
And they should be illegal, but no, I think they are in every other.
Unnamed Speaker 3
I think it's fine. I just think it's necessary to have all the, the, the disclaimers at the end, hey, if it's a prescription, have your doctor tell you that. I don't, I don't have time for this. Trust your doctor in any event. So this place is suggesting that you recycle your pumpkins.
Unnamed Speaker 6
Well, that makes sense.
Unnamed Speaker 3
I'm telling you, even in the woods you'll have stuff next year.
Unnamed Speaker 6
Now why don't the squirrels eat the pumpkins that are sitting on my porch right now?
Unnamed Speaker 4
Oh, mine do. It's either squirrels or chipmunks.
Unnamed Speaker 6
They do.
Unnamed Speaker 4
I have little chunks out of them. Yeah.
Unnamed Speaker 6
Oh, I don't know.
Unnamed Speaker 3
Last year I had a, a raccoon rave. Yeah, one night. A lot of carving yesterday and no injuries.
Unnamed Speaker 4
Oh, good.
Unnamed Speaker 5
That's real good.
Unnamed Speaker 4
Did you bake the seeds?
Unnamed Speaker 3
No, there was a request for that, but every time. It's one of those things I kind of did a lot. That never works. They taste awful.
Unnamed Speaker 4
Oh, I've, I'm pretty good at it.
Unnamed Speaker 5
Yeah, it's good.
Unnamed Speaker 4
Yeah, they, they taste great. You gotta. Wait, you can't just do them. I mean, they have to dry out for a while.
Unnamed Speaker 3
I just think I liked him because of all the salt.
Unnamed Speaker 4
Sure. So, yeah, I like. They're real healthy.
Unnamed Speaker 3
Just bypass the whis. Just put the salt on my dinner.
Unnamed Speaker 4
Yeah, you don't need the seats.
Unnamed Speaker 3
Yeah, much, much, much quicker. Yeah. So I'm sorry. Christy, what else you got over there?
Unnamed Speaker 6
Here's some Hollywood news. Lily Allen, the pop star makes more money, she says, selling pictures of her feet than she does on Spotify streams. The 39 year old singer songwriter said on social media, imagine being an artist and having nearly 8 million monthly listeners on Spotify, but earning more money from having 1,000 people subscribe to pictures of your feet. Ms. Allen's remark came in response to someone who had negatively commented on a post advertising her only fans account. The singer added, don't hate the player, hate the game. Billboard magazine estimates Ms. Allen is making about $10,000 a month from her feet.
Unnamed Speaker 4
Oh, that's awesome.
Unnamed Speaker 6
Her daily stream count on Spotify as of October 17th was 850,000. So they must not be paying much on Spotify for sure.
Unnamed Speaker 4
Well, that's also. She's making a point there too.
Unnamed Speaker 3
Yeah, Josh, you've been saying this forever.
Unnamed Speaker 4
Christy, I'm telling you. And I. I respect your husband and your marriage, but your fools.
Chick McGee
But I think what you're trying to say, your stupidity knows no bounds. We're not taking advantage.
Unnamed Speaker 4
I'm gonna say $2,500 a month you would take home just doing just your feet.
Unnamed Speaker 6
Real.
Chick McGee
A lot.
Unnamed Speaker 3
And we upgrade to boobs. We're talking 30 grand, right?
Unnamed Speaker 6
Oh, nobody wants to see my boobs.
Unnamed Speaker 3
Now, Pat. I bet your boobs.
Unnamed Speaker 5
My boobs could go for $30,000.
Unnamed Speaker 6
Really?
Unnamed Speaker 4
Oh, yeah.
Unnamed Speaker 3
Then. Then the following month. The following month, you shave them.
Unnamed Speaker 5
Whatever it takes to pull a cash.
Unnamed Speaker 3
Can you imagine that? We're on the air one day going, yeah, tonight at 9 Eastern Time Time, Pat's gonna be shaving his boobs. We've had 3,000 requests. Jimmy needs a Christmas.
Unnamed Speaker 5
As I pull my shirt up.

The BOB & TOM Show Free Podcast Episode: B&T Extra: Dwayne Wade, Pumpkin Talk, & Drug Commercials Release Date: December 19, 2024
Hosted by The BOB & TOM Show | Cumulus Podcast Network
Christopher kicks off the episode by welcoming listeners to another edition of "Bob and Tom Extra," a supplemental segment that airs every afternoon to recap missed highlights from the main morning show. He teases the topics for the day: Dwyane Wade, pumpkin-related discussions, and critiques of drug commercials.
The discussion begins with Chick McGee reminiscing about NBA star Dwyane Wade's contributions to the Miami Heat. He mentions the unveiling of Wade's statue outside the Kasey Center and the court naming—Pat Riley Court—in honor of the legendary coach.
Chick McGee (02:42):
"You remember Dwyane Wade. He won an NBA championship. Sure, three or nine with LeBron and Chris Bosh and all those."
(02:42)
However, the conversation takes a humorous turn as the speakers critique the likeness of the new statue.
Unnamed Speaker 3 (03:14):
"Whenever I hear the name Dwyane Wade, it sounds like. I hate webs."
(03:14)
The group collectively agrees that the statue does not accurately represent Wade, leading to playful banter about its artistic shortcomings.
The conversation shifts to the popular horror franchise "Child's Play," focusing on the iconic character Chucky. The speakers delve into the TV show's cancellation despite its three successful seasons and the ongoing legacy of the doll.
Unnamed Speaker 4 (09:45):
"What a night. Boy, oh, boy. Washington was behind with two seconds."
(06:31)
The highlight of this segment is the controversial act by influencer Larissa Sumpani, who claimed to have used her own menstrual blood to enhance her Chucky costume's realism. This move sparked mixed reactions among her followers.
Unnamed Speaker 6 (09:51):
"She splattered herself with her own period blood to make her appearance more gory."
(09:51)
The group criticizes the decision, arguing that there are safer and more conventional methods to achieve a gory look for costumes.
Unnamed Speaker 4 (10:36):
"You think it's too much? Plenty of great fake blood out there. Yeah. Karo syrup and some red dot, right?"
(10:36)
As Halloween approaches, the speakers dive into eco-friendly ways to handle pumpkin waste. They discuss options like composting, donating to community gardens, and feeding pumpkins to local wildlife.
Unnamed Speaker 6 (11:37):
"You don't need the seats."
(12:14)
Chick McGee (11:37):
"Yeah, I'll get right on that."
(11:52)
Practical tips include removing decorative materials and candle remnants before donating pumpkins. The conversation also touches on humorous anecdotes about wildlife interacting with leftover pumpkins, such as squirrels and raccoons.
Unnamed Speaker 3 (12:47):
"Wait a minute. Look who's talking."
(13:38)
The segment balances informative advice with the show's signature humor, ensuring listeners are both educated and entertained.
