Episode Date: October 26, 2024

Quinn and Maple come to you LIVE with the top things that spook us including vacuum cleaners, gargoyles, development hell, and much more

Hey, what's going on? It's Quinn David Furness. Welcome to my show Quinn David Furness presents the Bean Town podcast for Saturday, October 26 2024. We're coming to you live from the north side of Chicago where we where we are one of the 500 best podcasts here in the North side of Chicago. Hello also to Karachi, Hyderabad, Khyber Pass, Islamabad, Kabul, all the great places in the Islamic Republic of Pakistan. Thanks for making us the 112th ranked podcast. In Pakistan, I am the creator, the writer, and the chief storyteller of this program. Quinn David Ferris presents the Beat in Town podcast.

Speaking of storytelling, we listened to a podcast that I'm going to mention in a second here when we were driving late at night. Spoo-gee-gee from Albert Lee to St. Paul a week ago today, and I got to share it with you. It'll also just be a shameless plug for a podcast that is not for me, but it might be for you. So we'll talk about that in a second here. We're coming to you live Saturday morning here gearing up for the big North Center pet costume contest in an hour here. You got something you want to say?

contest in an hour here you got something you want to say you were whining before and now now you bring out the microphone and nothing from the co-host maple you got anything anything at all maple just whining the microphone is pretty interesting maybe if we want you to stop whining we just put you in front of a live mic. That could be a good strategy. Maple is going to go dressed as a pumpkin that mom bought from the internet. And we're going to try to win first prize. I told Maple earlier, I was giving her a little pep talk, that she's so anxious, so nervous. You got to be confident when you get on that stage in front of the big crowd They can they can feed off of the anxiety. They want a confident

Champion someone who can really go up there and work the stage So trying to give trying to send maples and ESP thoughts right now. Not sure how it's going He looks lost and confused Sitting up here on her Yoda blanket pumpkin Snoopy wedged in between her booty and the couch. This big disrespect for Pumpkin Snoopy. We watched the great pumpkin last night. It was Maples time first ever watching it.

And she got so spooked that she peed on the carpet. So I guess it was too spooky. We're going to, we're going to try to stick to things that are less spooky than the Great Pumpkin. So definitely no Saw or Friday the 13th or Frank and Weenie or anything like that. But we are gonna mention, and Maple has her own list too, we are going to mention things that spook us, volume eight, or volume seven here. It's the seventh season of the Beantown podcast. Coming up on, we are, gosh, we are just two, two months and change, like nine, ten episodes away from starting year

eight of the Beantown podcast. That's pretty exciting. It's like 1030 in the morning, you're sipping on a cup of coffee from my Rockford Ice Hogs mug that I bought after I moved to Baltimore just because I wanted to have a little sip of home every morning. I don't know how the Ice Hogs have been doing lately. What a great name though. I-C-E-H-O-G-S. Hog on the ice. It's pretty cool Maple you ever have pork before? bacon crispy pork belly What do you think?

Nothing alright, let's get right to it here in fact a lot of our Fun segments are not fun segments, but typical things we hit on are going to be incorporated into this episode we got to keep it pretty tight and high and tight and efficient here on the show today so that we can get Maple in costume and hair and makeup and all that stuff. And she's probably going to get a bath today too. So there's a lot going on. So we got to be efficient with our time here in the Bean Town podcast. So let's start with my list here and then we'll get to Maple's list here and then we've got a trivia question at the end. And I even have a grocery list that's all wrapped into this same note. We'll see if we have time for all of it. I went to Trader

Joe's yesterday for supper. But okay, Things That Spook Me, volume seven, starting off gargoyles. Maple, you could be a, starting off gargoyles. Maple, you could be a pretty cool little gargoyle. Just little stone statues. Why are they hanging out outside of churches, especially, you know, like old cathedrals? They're supposed to be a place of love and openness and welcoming, and you got these spooky gargoyles

hanging out. I don't know who other than like count Dracula which we'll get to in a second here or like a cartoon Frankenstein who thought it was a good idea to even create gargoyles in the first place why don't what if we had like if you're gonna have like cool stone statues on top of buildings what if we had like hearts or if acceptance could be made into a statuette? That would be nice. I like statuette. S-T-A-T-U-E-T-T-E. Any time a word ends in E-T-T-E it just seems little, small,

approachable, right? Kind of like you, Maple. people try to smooch you on the head, but you recoil and turn away So that's first up on my list gargoyle second up eye infections. I had an eye infection Pun intended I had an eye infection see what I did there pretty pretty clever There's a big groan for maple you couldn't hear it Excuse me last week in out. I'll preface this by saying it wasn't something that lasted super long. So I wouldn't consider it to be debilitating by any means. It certainly wasn't.

But it just kind of came out of nowhere, out of the blue. And I think, I'm trying to remember, I ran without, I'm almost exclusively someone who runs with my sunglasses now, my Gooder, G-O-O-D-R, running glasses, excuse me. And of course, I take one day off running with them at some point last week because it was very overcast, very cloudy, probably getting later in the day, and just completely unnecessary to have them. Of course, the one day I say, no, I'm not going to do it, probably getting later in the day and just completely unnecessary

to have them. Of course, the one day I say, no, I'm not going to do it. Definitely got something in my eye. I thought it was a bug. Not sure. Came home, did a thorough ocular investigation, O-C-U-L-A-R, and couldn't find anything. And then of course, two days later, notice, like as I was sleeping, notice my eye was just in pain. It's strange when your eye is in pain. Usually, hey, I, you know, just had a run this morning,

my calves are feeling it, my toes feel a little groggy, but usually your eyes are just like normal, for me at least. So it was probably like a 48 hour thing of course happened right while we were up in Minnesota for a wedding so had a nice eye infection for the wedding which was great. Just a lot of a lot of gunk around the corner of your eyes it's a nice image and then once or twice was able to get some some gooey stuff out from the eyelids. Like you had to pull back your eyelid and it was there. So pretty exciting.

Thankfully it went away on its own, nothing too bad, but just some pain, some itch and we made it out. But eye infection is certainly something that spooked me for sure. All right. Next up on our list here we have seances. It's basically when you get together with your buddies kind of like a house party but then you're trying to bring someone back from the dead or reach out to the dead or call to the dead. I'm not sure exactly if you got to bring them all the way back or if you just want to try to communicate with them. But first of all,

it's kind of a hard word to say because it's like the Irish spelling of Sean with a CES, like Chauncey, Chauncey Billups, NBA legend Detroit Pistons. There's a couple of like, in my mind, legendary teams across sports over the years where for some reason I just remember the starting five lineup. Like I can't explain it. In most Cubs teams I couldn't even do that. I couldn't even tell you like what the starting lineup was for game seven of the Cubs in the 2016 World Series.

I could get you like seven of the nine guys, but I probably forget someone. Well, let's see, I don't know. This week on the Beantown podcast, Quinn recalls lineups from championship teams over the years. Starting with the 2004 Pistons, Chauncey Billups, Teyshawn Prince, Rip Hamilton, Ben Wallace, and Rashid Wallace. There you go, there's your Chauncey Billups fix for the day. Chauncey heads just celebrating over here.

On SoundCloud, Stitcher, Player FM, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, wherever you get your podcasts, Chauncey heads going nuts. Another one is the Phillies had a ridiculous roster. They won one World Series back in the Ryan Howard chase out the era They beat the Rays I think it was like four to one or it was a sweet maybe and then at one point I think it was the next season they stacked their pitching rotation so heavily and they didn't win this year But it was like they went they really went for the trade deadline at one point. They had Cole Hamels Roy Halliday,

Rest in Peace, Cliff Lee, who probably a name you've forgotten over the years, but pitched for the Indians and was just a kick-ass pitcher in his day, and then Roy Oswalt, Astros legend, and then Joe Blanton, who was a pretty solid pitcher, especially as far as number five starting pitchers go. They had those five guys as their rotation for a hot second. All with the exception of Blanton. I mean, you got Cole Hamels, legendary Phillies pitcher,

Oswalt for the Astros, Cliff Fleet for the Indians, and Halliday for the Blue Jays. It was like when that guy, not Satan, what is his name? Thanos collects all the infinity stones. That's what that pitching rotation was like. But that lineup I look no one cares not even gonna go through it But I remember that lineup to 2016 game seven Cubs lineup Let's see if I can remember everyone knows Dexter Fowler let off with a home run. So that's first and foremost Things that spooked the audience Quinn listing random MLB and NBA lineups over the years. Could be our whole show.

Could have a spinoff where we just list lineups. Who else would have been? Rizzo would have been starting at first. Probably Zobrist at second. Addison Russell, rest in peace. What a guy at shortstop. Third base Chris Bryant, MVP. Our starting pitcher in game seven

was the legend himself, the professor, Kyle, I was going to say Kyle Richards. That's not right. That's a lady on the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Kyle Hendricks, mercy. Starting catcher in that game, I think they used all three catchers. So they had Miguel Montero.

Was he the starter? Or was it probably David Ross started? And then they had, I guess, Schwab was their third catcher. But he was only, he could only bat and play DH because of his torn ACL. So we got the infield outfield, I guess. We got Fowler, and then it must have been the Jason Hayward, our right fielder.

And then whoever was playing left at that point. That's the one I can't remember. Maple, you remember? You weren't alive back then, so it's going to be tough. Yeah. Maybe like an Albert Elmora something like that. That's the one in one cog I can't remember who our left fielder was back in the day But let's keep it moving here. There you go. That's I promise. That's the only installment in

baseball and basketball lineups for this episode Next up. Okay, so that was seances We talked a lot about actually seances, and definitely not a lot about baseball lineups and Chauncey Billups. Okay, we teased this at the top of the show. Weekly Spooky is what it is called. So here's what I'm gonna say.

I'm not gonna make fun of people's art and people could go on Weekly Spooky and make fun of the Bean Tum podcast. You know, let's keep it positive here. What I will say for context, Rachel and I were driving from Albert Lee, where podcasting legends Sally and Dave Furness live, to that condo would be a great podcast setup.

You could do it out on the patio, the enclosed patio looking over Lake Chepau, which is closer to a protected, well, unprotected marshland or wetland reserve now. Could he have a reserve that's unprotected or does the reserve have to be protected by nature? These are questions I have but they got a good setup for it. Probably good acoustics in there. Maybe a little drafty. We're driving back, you know, between 90 minutes and two hours, so nothing too crazy. But it's, you know, it's nine o'clock at night. Feeling a little spooky out on the open road, I-35, going up towards the cities. And Rachel was

in the mood for something spooky. So she found a podcast that is a, you know, like a serial, you know, different episodes each with each publication, and it's called weekly spooky. So here's the shameless plug. If you are someone who is not that concerned about quality writing, and just want something that is on a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being spooky, 1 being like bluey, like a 4, and occasionally kind of sexy because that was that was the thing the only saving grace for this episode we listened to Rachel fell asleep so she has no memory of it I had to recall detail the entire episode to her after we dropped the car off. But it was getting pretty sexy there for a while.

And then it got, it went off the rails. But so not that scary, pretty bad writing. Just one guy doing all the voices. So less sexy because they couldn't get like, you know, Scarlett Johansson or AI Betty White to do the voice of the female. But still, you know, it was like 40, 45 minutes. Each episode is a different premise, completely new characters is my assumption, all that stuff, whatever.

It's just like a short story basically read out loud. Just to give you and this is, I think this time of year they do an episode, you know, like five a week or something like that. So they're publishing a lot of content. I think basically like random people write stories, send them in, this guy reads it, that's the podcast. Of course, there's a lot of ad breaks built in. I don't know why we can't get ad breaks on the Beantown podcast, but Weekly Spooky can. Probably all politics, right, Maple? A lot of politics. Basically, to summarize the story, it's been

a week since I listened to it. But this guy is coming home from college for Thanksgiving break. His parents are going to be out of town on vacation. He's got the house to himself. He's looking to get laid. And he's very up. This is definitely like a 21 plus type of show because they're pretty upfront about this stuff.

I'm not just like making it all up. That was a good wine. You want more for the podcast? You gonna wine more for the podcast? No. So he's looking to get laid. So he sends out a bunch of internet messages. It was pretty unclear what platform he was using.

I don't know if it was Kik or Twitch or Pinterest or what. But he finally gets this one girl who he knew in high school to respond back to him and say, hey, I'm closing up my parents' cottage for the winter. Why don't you come up and help me out? And he's like, oh, yeah, I'm going to get laid. So he drives up there.

It's a long, winding, spooky road. And he finally gets there. He steps out of the car. Something smells terrible. He's like, what's going on? This smells awful. And he knocks gets there. He steps out of the car something smells terrible. He's like what's going on this smells awful and He knocks on the door no one answers, and he was like you know fuck this we didn't even say listeners question is advised That's embarrassing that's an SEC fine. Just way need to happen

Listeners question is advised when you're listening to this program number one will occasionally some language number two his podcast is objectively terrible So he's about to leave because no one's answering the door and then all of a sudden this beautiful lady Kind of getting kind of getting some like green night vibes right now Huge you know Arthur Ian legend heads will know the reference This lady from upstairs leans out the window with a towel. She just got out of shower says oh hang on you know I'm coming down and he's like oh, yeah, I'm going to get laid. So he goes inside and you know, they're sitting on the couch, she's towel enough and they're catching up. And of course he's super horny. He's like, I'm going to get laid. But then she starts to

kind of confide in him. I don't know, this was the part where it's like they were close to hooking up and I kind of lost interest. But she, you know, she could tell like he came up to get laid, but then he didn't like make a move right away. He was more of a gentleman. And so then the kind of the 180 moment hits and she transforms into a werewolf. Just kind of out of the blue and he gets spooked and she's like I want you know I can tell you're a good person so I want your seed for my pups and at this point I was you know kind of by Ohatana and Rachel was asleep and I was just kind of wondering what what in my life had led me to this.

So he runs out, he runs out because he's spooked, he's scared of the werewolf, and of course in classic horror vibe he doesn't just grab his car and leave, he runs out into the spooky woods, presumably foggy, although it wasn't explicitly stated. And he's hiding and he's thinking, okay, this is it for me. I'm gonna die. This crazy person's a werewolf. She was super hot. Now she's a werewolf. And so he thinks he's safe, but then she finds him in the woods. And he's like, oh shoot, I'm gonna die. I'm gonna die. And she's a werewolf. And she's got him locked down, pinned down. It's kind of getting a little sexy again, but not quite sure. And she's like, hey, it's your choice,

but I would really love your seed to create strong, intelligent pups. And this is probably the worst part, if you can believe it. He's basically like, I'm not sure what I'm going to do. And then he passes out. And when he wakes up, he's lying with her in bed back in the cottage and he's like I feel strangely powerful and she's like hey maybe it won't be so bad to be a werewolf so basically Tarika and that's

literally the end of the story I'm not making this shit up go find it weekly spooky I don't know what it was called. It was like, it wasn't the episode from last Saturday or the most recent one. It was like, Two Back. So it was like, I don't know, October 18th, 17th, something like that. And basically, this woman turns into a werewolf and rapes this guy, and now they're gonna have pups. And I don't know if he's gonna finish his degree or not that was kind of my biggest concern that's what happened so yeah weekly spooky I'll never forget it that's definitely something that spooks me next up next up stuff that spooks me this week on the campaign trail two things first up the Kamala town hall

Look I'm a pretty Left leaning guy and I'm not shy about that on the show usually when we do this week on the campaign trail It's something that JD Vance or Trump said and we'll talk about the right side of the aisle in a second here but Kamala did a CNN town hall with Anderson Cooper on Wednesday night, I think it was. And I'm just ready for this election cycle to be over, because it's a town hall with, quote, undecided voters.

They're asking her real, legitimate questions, good questions that require thoughtful, nuanced responses. And I got so mad at Kamala. In fact, I turned it off after like 45 minutes. Every single one of her responses was basically, oh, that's a great question. Thanks for asking that. But let me talk about the real threat here,

which is Donald Trump. And it was just every single time, the exact same recycled narrative, recycled talking point. I don't know, you know, obviously these politicians know a lot more about campaigning and voter psychology and all this stuff than I do. So I'm not pretending to sit here and be like, oh, that's the wrong strategy. What the hell do I know?

But it was just as a voter, an undecided voter, mind you. No, that's not true. Although I can't even vote right now because USPS Chicago post office, United States post office is holding my ballot hostage. It got mailed out allegedly like three weeks ago and it still says it's in transit. So not going to be able to vote maple. You have to go wait in line at the church on next Tuesday morning and just sit there for hours. That'll be fun. And I could have done it from the comfort of my couch.

But yeah, she just kept recycling the same old talking points. Had nothing new or interesting to say. Was not policy focused at all. Dodging questions. Just really frustrating to watch. And then, you know, everyone talks about the big October surprise. Well, here it was. I think it was Thursday or Friday. Must have been Thursday. Definitely wasn't yesterday. Maybe it was Wednesday even. Maybe this was to counter Kamala's town hall.

Look who, look who it is. Former supposed to be live on air, being town podcast guest at one of our, probably like the fourth or fifth annual pledge drives health on fundraiser. We invited her to come on. There were murmurs and rumors that she was coming on. And then we got ghosted. Former Hawaii, what was she a representative? How many, how many reps does Hawaii get like two and a half? Tulsi Gabbard is now officially a Republican. She showed up at a Trump rally, endorsed Trump, and I just, it makes you wonder, like who, who out there does this move the needle for? Like all jokes aside, Tulsi Gabbard coming out and saying, I'm endorsing Donald Trump. I guess I don't,

well, here, I think I answered my own question. It doesn't move the needle for anyone because Hawaii is extremely blue and it seems like everyone over there hates her already. Everyone over here hates her already. So basically the only she's really spooky. We're talking about things that spook me. I mean just Tulsi Gabbard in and of herself. Sounds like she's gunning for a cabinet in and of herself I sound like she's gunning for a cabinet position I don't know what she's qualified to be you know cabinet leader of I don't really know her background other than mayor of Spookville but she's not as spooky as what's her name Kimberly Gilfoyle Don

jr.'s wife that's like Hunger Games capital type shit with the like her rhetoric and her speeches and stuff that's extremely spooky like I actually listened to her talk Tulsi's kind of a joke but I listened to Kimberly talk and I'm actually would prefer to just not listen to it because it's not even funny how kind of crazy she is and aggressive in her speech pattern. So that's this week on the campaign trail guys. We got what 10 days here till election day and then only three months until we actually know the result. So that's very exciting.

Next up, foggy cemeteries. A cemetery in and of itself is a place of peace and rest. Come over here, Maple. Stop whining by the door. Come on, you can whine on the podcast. People love it. and rest come over here maple stop whining by the door come on You can whine on the podcast people love it. Yeah, come over here But you got a foggy cemetery there could be witches there could be ghouls there could be bats blood-sucking vampires No one likes a foggy cemetery Especially in Chicago. There's a bunch of coyotes that hang out in the cemeteries not good and spooky

I'm not that spooked by a coyote, but if one was chasing me, I probably would be. Next up, things that spook me. Foggy Bottom neighborhood in Northwest Washington, D.C. on the Potomac. I had to look this up as they named it because it's like low as far as the town goes elevation wise. There's a lot of flooding there. Maybe there still is, and that would create fog. So they call it Foggy Bottom. If you've never been, that's where the, what is it, the Kennedy Center is located in Foggy Bottom. It's just like northwest of the end of,

like west end of the National Mall, kind of by the Lincoln Memorial. So like west of the White House. All that fun stuff. But yeah, it's just a fun name and a little bit spooky. I wouldn't want to live in Foggy Bottom. Like I live in North Center right now. That seems like a very plain standard, not spooky, not aggressive type name, but Foggy Bottom is a little bit spooky. Like if I was a Dracula coming over from Transylvania, if I couldn't get into Pennsylvania, I might

go to Foggy Bottom because that would be a good place to take up residency. Next up, Mufasa. Oh man, talk about, well, I wasn't, usually I wouldn't be spooked. It's a fantastic film, but you worry about, they talk about in the industry, which I know some about, they talk about developmental hell or development hell. And it's where these movies get, you know, this is it going to come out. It's kind of a will they won't they situation. And that's kind of what I'm worried about with Mufasa because I haven't heard

anything lately. I'm seeing no media push. Barry Jenkins doing no interviews. You all heard that Childish Gambino had to cancel his tour. And all of a sudden you're thinking what is going on? Tulsi Gabbard really is the only one attached to the project who we're still seeing stuff from So I'm a little bit spooked that Mufasa is not gonna be ready to hit, you know theaters and IMAX on December 20th, 2024 I'm just trying to find my pride and Mufasa is giving me the creeps. So

Mufasa I'm still pulling for you. You still gotta find your pride, but it's a little bit spooky. If you can hear that off in the distance, that's Maple being spooked by mom coming home. Next up on the show here, we already mentioned werewolves once or twice. Hard to do a podcast when your dog is just freaking out. Come here, Maple. Nothing. I didn't do anything. No hitting. I gave her cheese.

She's crazy. Werewolves would be next on the list of things that spook me. Rachel, you want to come on the show? Things that spook me. We already talked about Weekly Spooky. Yeah, our favorite podcast. What spooks me is Maureen McCormick's attempt to pronounce werewolves. There's a great clip. I couldn't find it on YouTube, it was on Twitter, or X as we're supposed to call it now.

Politically correct. But it was, you know, Greg and Alice the Maid and Marcia talking about things that spook you, I guess. I don't really know what the context is, but instead of Maureen McCormick, Marcia saying werewolves, she says werewolves, which is what it looks like, right? It's not W-H-E-R-E wolves, it's W-E-R-E wolves. But apparently no one on the set knew enough about werewolves to correct her pronunciation of werewolves. So kind of tough to say your letters is your is your syllabric integrity kind of falters when you condense it like that to werewolves. Your

lips don't have to move very far. And so you can kind of say it in basically a one syllable word, monosyllabic is what we would call it werewolf. Marine McCormick, things that spook me. Getting to the end here, then we have Maples' list. This is a shout out and also I'm a little bit spooked by the level of dedication. Grandma Sal's dedication to Mounds bars. So long story short, we got a great classic grandma story who is all about coupons and good deals and just joy and mirth all around and certainly not being spooked.

But I was spooked by the amount of Mounds Bars that came out of this story. I think 13 Bags was the number, which is also a spooky number. But basically the long story short, Gramisal had a coupon or saw in the weekly ad for Walgreens that Mounds Bars were two for two or two for three, something like that.

And I just, I don't want to overlook the fact that for me at least, Mounds Bars are like the worst candy and why would anyone want a deal on Mounds Bars? But everyone has their own candies that they like and that's okay. So Mounds Bars, grandma goes to Walgreens, picks out the Mounds Bars, goes check out and apparently cashier says no, this is a you have to have a coupon and grandma says well it's it was just in the ad there's no coupon news. I don't see anything about coupons and so the lady says no you got to go online you got to clip your coupon and so grandma Sal just has her iPad apparently with no cellular data so she drives across the street to the McDonald's parking lot

because you can get free Wi-Fi there. You don't even have to get E. coli. You can just get the Wi-Fi. And so she goes on to the Walgreens app and looks for the coupon. No coupon in site, just mounds bar sale. Nothing you can clip. No digital e-coupon. And so she goes back to the Walgreens, and she says, hey, there's no coupon. It's just a sale. And I don't remember what went down at that point, but I'm already losing track of the story. Basically, had to go back to the McDonald's again,

had to clip, finally got back. So it was just back and forth between Walgreens and a McDonald's parking lot for Wi-Fi. Finally got the Mounds Bar coupon, clipped it, used the app, and I think got like 13 bags of Mounds Bars for like 12 bucks. So I'm a little bit spooked by the dedication to C-tier candy and then also spooked by you know, what's the shelf like on shelf life on mounds bars? It's reminding me when my great-grandpa Grandma Sally's dad passed away. He had a bunch of candy in his closet and that got divvied up amongst the great-grandchildren

and Probably stuff that wasn't safe to eat. But you don't see a lot of expiration date on hard candies. So you just kind of roll with it. And when you're like five years old, it's okay. Cause it's candy and it's almost unlimited from his coat closet. Next up, I don't want to get smited here by Jesus

or a Pope or a Cardinal or anything, but Catholic mass. Congratulations again to a friend of the show, Aaron Burns, for getting married this past Friday. But it was a full Catholic mass, and I got to say, I'm spooked. Not so much by the Out of the Blue organ music, although that makes me jump from time to time. You're not expecting it. But just hour-long church service, man, that is so like 1780s.

What are we doing here? It's just a lot of readings They need to have I don't know back in the good old days my evangelical upbringing. They will put You know words the songs or scriptures on a big projector screen so you can at least follow along what's happening But now here you're just kind of sitting wondering What's you know are we doing, what do we got a homily next, or is there a Pentecost or confession? What's the, you know, what's the strategy with the communion? Is it, you know, the little cups that they have, or is it just

one giant one at the center that you got to walk up to? So not a lot of clear instructions. You would think in, you know, this day and age that you would want people to know what's going on. But I think Catholic Mass intentionally just kind of keeps you in the dark. And it's a little bit spooky to be dark. So there you go, Catholic Mass. And then finally, Juul Pods. I got my Juul settlement this week, $40. I thought it was against Juul Osco, but it's actually a separate company. They sell what's called Juul pods, which are not Tide pods, they're slightly different. I don't really know, I think it's nicotine.

Do you smoke it or is it the thing you like rub on your gums? Or is it like chewing tobacco? I'm not sure. Dip. Is that what they call it? Juul dip? I don't know. But Juul. Spooky. But Jewel, spooky.

Seems bad for your health. If you're getting a class action lawsuit settlement against a company, they're probably spooky. Like Google's incognito browser. Got a lawsuit going against them right now. Maple submitted her list as well. These are things that spook her. We have crunchy leaves when mom goes to workout class, anytime someone sneezes, when there's no chicken, the vacuum

cleaner, and sleeping past 3 a.m. So that's Maple's installment into things that spook her, or entry into our seventh installment of things that spook us.

This is a pretty, I don't ever want to say a question is easy or hard, but it's kind of in the name, okay? So don't overthink this one too hard and just pay attention. Here is your trivia question for today. Stingy Jack.

That's the nickname for someone. Stingy Jack, or just the full name. Maybe his first name is Stingy. Stingy Jack is a mythical character in Irish legend who drunkenly bargained with Satan and was doomed to roam the earth with only a hollowed turnip to light his way. This legend gave birth to the creation of this Halloween item or term, or Halloween-themed item or term. So again, Stingy Jack wandered the earth continuous because he can't die.

He's like Jeffrey Rush in Pirates of the Caribbean, although he dies, but then he comes so kind of kind of in between sort of like let's say isn't there like a Jewish term for when you're like in between heaven and hell what is that called I can't even remember more more more more bituary Rachel what's the name of the term when you're like in between heaven and hell?

So if you're ever wondering why it's called the jack-o-lantern, it's because
