Bob
Are you frightened of werewolves, Tom? I mean, man. Yeah. Now, what would scare you more? A bipedal werewolf or one that gets down on all fours? Like, does the werewolf or the wolf man scare you?
Josh
The wolf man always was scary to me.
Pat
Okay, what scares you more?
Bob
Oh, when they. Probably on all fours. Yeah, just chasing.

He offers wine to one of his.
Ace
Guests and then his guests say V.
Bob
That threw me the V there.
Josh
And he always dressed well.
Bob
Always. Yeah. Classy guy.
Ace
So let me ask you this.
Bob
Yes.
Ace
Did the classic voice for Dracula. Is it. I need mold Vine. Is it because that's the way Bela Lugosi talked, or is it because.
Bob
I think one of the reasons they may have hired him, besides the look, is his accent. Because whether or not it's true. Transylvanian, certain, when you hear it, you don't question it.
Josh
But he was Bela. But everyone says Bella. Is that the.
Bob
Yeah, yeah, but he. It's Bayla. Yeah.
Pat
What is it with the little. The hand thing?
Bob
The hand.
Pat
All the vampires that do this.
Bob
Oh, he's hypnotizing his. Now, in later movies, you can tell, like, they can do effects with the eyes and stuff like that. Okay, so this was before they could do that. So he had to wiggle his fingers.
Josh
What year was that made?
Bob
Oh, that was 30.
Pat
I just watched it.
Bob
Oh, boy. I don't. I don't remember, but vampires.
Ace
I.
Bob
30S.
Ace
I submit the vampires are the most sexual of all these.
Pat
31.
Bob
You're not wrong at all.
Ace
Terrifying creatures.
Bob
Oh, 31.
Josh
Well, you've got. I mean, when you were a little.

Frankenstein has a huge hog, obviously, but he doesn't really.
Josh
Yeah, well, Frankenstein was not smooth.
Pat
It says 1931.
Bob
Yeah. Okay.
Josh
Frankenstein. Back from the dead, Right?
Pat
He's not a. He's not sexy.
Josh
That scared me as a kid.
Ace
Werewolf.
Bob
No, no. Vampires. Sexy chickens. Dead. They're all about sex.
Pat
They're all about sex.
Bob
Yeah.
Pat
He has so many wives and he's always going after the pretty girls.
Bob

Josh
So back to your list. What else we got?
Bob
30 days of night with Josh Hartnett. Now, this is.
Ace
I've always been meaning to watch.
Bob
The premise is so great. They're up in Alaska, right? In one of those towns where the sun goes away for a month. Or I think in real life it's 45 days.
Ace
But you got to think vampires go there. Vacation.
Bob
Yeah. Vampires went. We're going there.
Ace
Yeah.
Bob
Because they. There's no danger of sunlight. And they are just so vicious. They run and rip you apart. I mean, Christy, you couldn't watch this one.
Ace
It's.
Bob
It's. It's so gory. But it's really good. Nosferatu is next. The original.
Pat
Yeah.
Ace
Yeah.
Josh
Is that a silent movie?
Bob
It is a silent movie. Yeah. The FW Murnau. And it is fantastic.
Ace
What did W. Murnau ever do to you?
Bob
I don't care. You know what?
Ace
He. He just said, fw.
Bob
My great, great grandfather was an extra on that film. And Murnau treated him like cr.
Tom
So.
Bob
So effed up him.
Josh
Yeah, I feel the same way about the Great Gansby.
Ace
Damn right.
Bob
I think Nosferatu is the scariest looking vampire.
Pat
He is scary.
Bob
He's so insane. That Max Shrek actor guy.
Chick
No kidding.
Bob
He looks.
Ace
Yeah, man. You know what? And no makeup needed. Isn't that interesting?
Bob
Kind of. I mean, there's plenty of makeup, but yeah, yeah, he's. And there's a great movie called Shadow of the Vampire where Willem Defoe plays Max Shrek. It's about the making of.
Ace
Okay.
Bob
And the notion in that movie is that Max Shrek was actually a vampire. That's a cool movie.
Ace
That's cool.
Bob
But Nosferatu needs. And then the. Did you ever see the Verner Herzog remake of Nosferatu?
Ace
I'm aware of Klaus Kinski. Yeah.
Bob
It's okay. And they're making a new one, Tom. It comes out Christmas and I'm really excited.
Ace
Just in time for Christmas. Nosferatu.
Bob
The guy who did the Witch and the Lighthouse.
Josh
Oh, that guy. Is it a.
Ace
The Northman holiday version of.
Bob
No.
Josh
Dracula.
Bob
They always. Sometimes a horror movie, just counter.
Josh
They don't have any.
Ace
I say if you get a chance. I don't think it's on your list because I. I've asked you a couple times if you watch. It's Dracula on Netflix.
Josh
It's three.
Ace
Three parts. It's three hours. And Dracula is played by one of my favorite British actors. Clay. Clay. Clay. Bang.
Bob
Clay Bangs in it.
Ace
Clay Bangs is Dracula. Yeah, he's. And it's wonderful.
Bob
Nice.
Josh
Now we reach number one.
Bob
Number two is Let the Right One in. Did you guys see that? Or the remake? Let me in. No, it's fantastic. This young girl is a vampire and this bullied kid befriends her. And it's. It's so great. It's just. It's excellent.
Ace
Oh, it's kind of like my buddy Go Bodyguard, only with vampires.
Bob
Yes. Scary and sweet and haunting. And then my number one. And again, these are my favorite, not necessarily the best.
Pat
Dark shadows.
Ace
No, no.
Bob
1985'S Fright Night is my favorite vampire.
Ace
That is a great movie.
Bob
Yes.
Ace
That's a solid. Roddy McDowell and Chris. Chris Sarandon's vampire.
Bob

Josh
Yes, the. The Milton Berle in the comedy hall of fame of.
Pat
Yeah.
Josh
And as Arnold Palmer now in that hall of fame. Yeah. Roddy McDowell, apparently. Huge, big hug and apparently like the nicest guy in Hollywood.

Josh
Well, he's in my favorite vampire movie, the Frank Langella.
Bob
I like it. Yeah.
Josh
Doesn't make it.
Bob
No, it doesn't. It's a little. It's a tad dry for me, but.
Josh
That was very sexy.
Bob
I do like it. Oh, sure, yeah. No, Blackula, dude, Blacula is great.
Ace
Percy Rodriguez has Dracula's beautiful voice.
Pat
How do you guys know all this?
Ace
Got a lot of it. Does a lot of voiceover words. One of my heroes.
Chick
No, At First Bite.
Bob
I like love at First Bite with George Hamilton.
Ace
I say Artie Johnson ruins the movie. Oh, he's.
Bob
He's Renfield.
Ace
Yeah. Yes, master.
Bob
Oh, there. Ganja and Hess. Did you ever see that one?
Chick
No.
Bob
With Dwayne Reddy from Night Not a Living Dead. And that's a lot.
Josh
Blacula is there a whole series and I think Scream.
Bob
Blackula Scream.
Ace
Oh, yeah, absolutely. Yeah, that's right.
Bob
But Blackula is actually a good. It's decent. It is. It's good.
Josh
Did they do a similar.
Bob
That was about 72 or somewhere around there.
Josh
A similar spin with the werewolf franchise.
Bob
Oh, I'm trying to think of. Of a black werewolf.
Josh
Is there a Blackenstein?
Ace
I don't think so.
Bob
I don't know if there's a black Frankenstein.
Josh
If there is, Ace, maybe this must be.
Bob
Get the pen out because Blackula was a hit. So they could have gone and at.
Ace
A time when they didn't think it would be a hit.
Bob
Yeah.
Ace
Surprise.
Bob
Wesley Snipe was a hunting vampire. Blade. Blade. Yeah.
Ace
Yeah. Oh, he's.
Bob
And he was like at least half vampire or something. Yeah.
Ace
Spoiler alert. He's in the Deadpool.
Bob
Wolverine Blade shows up in that.
Ace
Blade shows up in that.
Josh
I'm getting lost.
Ace
Kind of like a roster.
Josh
Very, very complicated.
Bob
I hope it wasn't too boring. Those are my favorite.
Josh
Okay. Are you going to post those somewhere?
Bob
Sure, sure.
Josh
Also posted the staff here as. As zombies. You can check that out on our various social media.
Bob
Eventually I do a whole series of my favorite zombies, my favorite ghosts, my favorite aliens, that kind of thing.
Josh
Okay.
Bob
And I tried starting and I really, really royally screwed it up. So I will.
Josh
I think we've created the possibility for Ace. Maybe you could write Blackenstein.
Bob
I'll get on that. Blackenstein.
Ace
Right after he gets his window fixed in his car.
Josh
No, I mean, if it hasn't been done, I can't.
Bob
I'm sitting in the waiting room waiting.
Josh
I would think it'd be. Oh, yeah, I can't imagine it hasn't been done already.
Bob
Yeah, I just don't know of it. So.
Josh
Yeah, that was really the one about the accountants. Stein and Stein. It's terrifying scene, the opening scene. There's no blood, but the IRS shows up to audit a guy.
Bob
We'll find blood.
Josh
No, too soon.
Ace
Really? That was the 70s. That was really a golden time for like all the black sports.
Greg
Absolutely.
Ace
Gun. And all the James Jim Brown movies and. Yeah, and the Superfly.
Bob
There are some legit great movies.
Josh
You know, I happen to know something you guys probably don't know. As much as I hate politics, I did a little research on this. And do you know who's behind the. The cancelling of daylight savings time right now?
Bob
I don't.
Josh
Vampires.
Bob
Oh, of course they are.
Josh
That's right. I can start at 5:00. Gets darker early. You see. That's right. But now I've got a surprise for you guys. Pizza. It's not pizza. Look at the big screen. Look who's here again.
Greg
I wish I was pizza.
Pat
Hi, Ed.
Greg
Then you could eat me, Ace.
Ace
Well, there you go.
Greg
The plumber will bang your pipes, never your wife. I'm usually on call 24 7, but you know what they say, turds never sleep.
Ace
So I think Neil Young said that turds never sleep.
Greg
I think it might be he's a great American hero.
Josh
He's Canadian.
Greg
Oh, yeah, you got the joke. I got a season to sess for my HOA about my candy commode on the front porch. So now I have to pass out candy to my kids.
Pat
Sorry.
Greg
The one thing I can't stand when the kids are too old to trick or treat. So I've created a helpful guide to let you know who deserves the big full size candy bars.
Josh
Okay.
Greg
And who don't. You know, a bunch of trick or treaters are too old when you hold out the bowl of candy and they fish around the bowl looking for the last pack of Nicorette gum. You know they're too old to trick or treat when they take a shortcut across your lawn in their new Tesla.
Josh
Yeah.
Greg
Too old to trick or treat when they have to Notify their probation officer of their whereabout. You know you're too old to trick or treat when you're actively breastfeeding a baby. When their shoe. Shoe wear of choice is on clouds. Yes, the trick or treat.
Bob
I.
Greg
When they say trick or treat. If their voices are three octaves lower than Ace Cosby's Trick or treat. Trick or treat. A trick or treat. If they say to their friends, this is more fun than the weekend at the AVN Awards with all them hookers too old. Instead of throwing toilet paper in your trees, they heave preparation ape swipes.
Bob
Oh, boy. Those are old people.
Greg
You know they're too old. Yeah, when the fat kids mask is the same one he uses for a CPAP machine.
Ace
Kid has sleep apnea. He's so fat.
Bob
Too old.
Greg
Finally. You know a bunch of trick or treaters are too old when the home detention monitor on their ankle isn't part of their costume. Happy Halloween. And don't forget what my granddaddy always told me. Blood's thicker than water, but a bloody stool can cut short a hot knot of sex. I've heard that the plumber don't give a flush.
Bob
Thank you.
Josh
Yeah, some folksy wisdom from grandpa. Something about a bloody stool.
Ace
Elsewhere in sports, uncrustables are taking over the NFL and the story has taken over NFL coverage. The Fabulous Athletic has found out which teams eat the most prepackaged peanut butter and jelly sandwiches in the league. Everybody clear on what?
Bob
Uncrossed fabulous athletics.
Ace
I was like a fabulous moolah.
Bob
Sounds like a. Like a Richard Simmons tape.
Josh
It does. You're watching the Fabulous Athletic.
Ace
It's a good site. They put out good stuff. According to the outlet, the athletic NFL teams go through anywhere from 3, 600 to 4,300 uncrustables a week. The teams with the most per week uncrustable consumption are. These numbers look low to me. I think. I. But here we go. Denver Broncos, 700.
Bob
A week. Okay, a week.
Ace
Well, according to the NFL teams, this. The entire teams. This is league wide, right? Where the numbers are 3,600 to 4,300. And then individual teams. Denver Broncos, 700. Seahawks, 320. Jaguars, 315. Oh, Dolphins, 300. Uncrustables and then Falcons, 250.
Bob
But one is double all the others.
Pat
Yeah, right.
Ace
Denver Broncos.
Josh
Do you think it's the pot Bengals. And it's like a munchies thing. I assume uncrustables are super popular amongst owners.
Pat
I don't know.
Ace
Therefore it is true.
Bob
Just asking how many players on a standard team?
Ace
54 on the roster, so.
Bob
54 on the roster, so maybe.
Ace
But then you got.
Bob
I was going to say. So let's say 80 people in the locker room.
Ace
Fine. Counting coaches, maybe go for the 90. Sure.
Bob
Okay.
Josh
Do they let the practice squad guys eat anything?
Ace
No, they starving. We'll see what kind of athletes these guys are. Yeah, we'll see what his 40 time is if he haven't eaten in 3 days.
Josh
I was thinking if you were in the practice guard, you'd feel kind of like a second class citizen.
Bob
Oh, I'm sure.
Josh
Hey, coaches said okay if I have that uncrustable, I. You know, I'm kind of concerned number five might want it.
Bob
Yes, but you can't unwrap it.
Ace
Okay, see now this makes no sense to me. The Bengals and the Saints tied in with the least uncrustables at 50. 50. Okay, why even bother counting them?
Josh
Yeah, those are rookie numbers.
Ace
If one team has 700 and many.
Josh
A teenager goes through 50 in a week, wouldn't you say?
Bob
Joe, myself ain't big. Okay, yeah, well, maybe not 50, but a lot.
Pat
Wow.
Ace
Isn't the key you're supposed to microwave them or something? They make a bro.
Bob
We had somebody email us and I think it's the perfect way to prepare them.
Ace
I have never. I'm stealing aces line. I've never had an uncrustable.
Pat
Are you serious?
Bob
They're fantastic.
Greg
Amazing.
Pat
My kids lived on. I made them myself. I have a little trustable maker. Oh.
Chick
Changed my life.
Josh
No. Yeah, I did a little research on this.
Ace
Oh, you son of a. Are you going to mention this fact about uncrustable?
Josh
I think it's fascinating.
Ace
Well, I know you do. Go ahead.
Josh
It's from the great company Smuckers.
Ace
Like Smuckers? It has to be.
Pat
Good God, that's great.
Josh
That is your best impression.
Bob
Sound just like that guy Mason Adams. I love Mason Adams.
Christopher
I'll go ask Mrs. Pinchot.
Josh
That is very good.
Ace
He was from Lou Grant.
Josh
Okay, this Smuckers uncrustables quote. The pillowy peanut butter and jelly sandwiches found on the frozen aisle. Sales are about to hit a billion dollars annually.
Ace
Okay, who's laughing now?
Josh
To keep up with demand, the J.M. smucker Company is opening a third uncrustables plant. What's interesting about this, the product lost money for more than a decade.
Ace
Yeah, that's. Wow, that's something.
Josh
What's that do with you? Sorry, the arc of business doesn't interest you.
Ace
Of course. I thought you were going to mention this. The uncrustables eaten by the NFL in one year would cover 18 yards of a football field.
Josh
I wasn't going to mention that because I put that in your text.
Ace
I wasn't going to read it because I thought it was stupid. And then you went off on this other tangent.
Josh
I think it's illustrative of the quantity of. Of uncrustables that are consumed.
Bob
Well, when you look at the price, you go, hey, I could just make my own peanut butter and jelly.
Pat
Well, you can make them, too, with the. There's a little machine thing that told us.
Ace
Yeah, yeah, we know. You know you've got one, so you don't bloody freaking die.
Josh
You don't. You don't get.
Ace
None of us have an uncrustable machine.
Josh
You don't get the store bought, so you're essentially rolling your own.
Pat
Yeah, exactly. I want to know how you're supposed to prepare them. You started now supposed to microwave them.
Ace
Right, what, 10 seconds when they're frozen.
Bob
Right straight out of the freezer into the toaster? Yes. Yep. Try it. It's fantastic.
Josh
If you were on a plane and you were served an uncrustable and bit into it and broke a tooth, would you sue just like the lady?
Bob
I would sue everybody. Even because you're the person sitting next to me.
Josh
So ignorant.
Ace
I would sue the person sitting next.

Skipping the usual advertisements and intros, the team dives straight into their favorite horror films, offering listeners a blend of humor, nostalgia, and insightful commentary.
The conversation kicks off with Bob and Josh sharing their preferences for vampire films. Bob mentions his top choice:
Bob [03:21]: "1985's Fright Night is my favorite vampire movie."
Josh complements this by highlighting the classic elements that make Fright Night stand out.
The hosts then explore the iconic Dracula, with Bob appreciating the original portrayal:
Bob [03:24]: "Number five, Dracula. The original."
Pat chimes in on Bela Lugosi's performance:
Pat [03:30]: "The original."
Bob humorously notes Dracula's aversion to wine:
Bob [03:30]: "I never drink wine is what he says."
Ace adds depth by discussing Bela Lugosi's accent, which added authenticity to the character:
Ace [03:50]: "I think one of the reasons they may have hired him, besides the look, is his accent."
The conversation shifts to the timeless appeal of vampires, with Ace stating:
Ace [04:04]: "I submit the vampires are the most sexual of all these."
Bob agrees, emphasizing the blend of fear and allure in vampire lore.
Moving forward, the hosts discuss Nosferatu, the silent film classic, praising its eerie aesthetic:
Bob [06:33]: "I think Nosferatu is the scariest looking vampire."
Ace adds excitement about the upcoming remake:

Bob [08:27]: "It's scary and sweet and haunting."

This leads to humorous banter about the practicality and fear factor of different werewolf depictions.
Shifting gears, the hosts embark on a light-hearted investigation into the consumption of Uncrustables (prepackaged peanut butter and jelly sandwiches) among NFL teams. Ace presents statistics:
Ace [16:18]: "According to the NFL teams, this is league-wide, right? Where the numbers are 3,600 to 4,300."
Bob and Josh humorously debate the practicality and impact of these numbers, speculating on team dynamics and player habits.
Greg steals the spotlight with his comedic take on Halloween traditions, critiquing overly mature trick-or-treaters:
Greg [14:16]: "They're too old when they fish around the bowl looking for the last pack of Nicorette gum."
His witty observations continue as he humorously describes scenarios where trick-or-treaters are unmistakably past the usual age:
Greg [14:41]: "When the home detention monitor on their ankle isn't part of their costume. Happy Halloween."
The group bursts into laughter, appreciating Greg's sharp humor.
As the episode wraps up, Josh shares an amusing anecdote about political saboteurs being vampires in jest, leading to more laughter. The hosts also touch upon personal finance podcasts, ensuring a well-rounded and entertaining session.
