Episode 378: Pumpkindaze 2017

Outline
00:45 - Intro - Justin sings Tim Curry's Anything Can Happen on Halloween, from the movie The Worst Witch to kick off the brothers' celebration of Pumpkindaze, the precursor to Candlenights, which starts whenever Starbucks brings back their Pumpkin Spice flavor.

10:54 – Earlier I was speaking to my brother, and he stopped in the middle of the conversation, stared me dead in the eyes, and ripped out the pockets of his jeans. I’ve never been more terrified by a human’s raw power – the strength of him not only ripping the fabric out of his pants as he was still wearing them, but also, these were his favorite pants, and he still wears them. Should I confront him, or should I immediately go and search for a priest? Thank you for your time, but I fear by the time you see this he will have come for my own pockets. – Gmail

23:44 – So on Thursday I went to a Halloween party being hosted by a club at my college in full druid costume – very cool mask, the works. About 45 minutes in, I was informed by a sheepish gentleman that it was, in fact, a club-only party, not one hosted by the club, and I had drastically misunderstood the situation – thank god I had not eaten any of their food yet – and I made a rapid escape, absolutely mortified. My question is, how do I retrieve my skeleton from when it jetpacked into the sun and recover? – Worst Social Anxiety Situation Ever?

47:12 – For as long as I can remember, my dad has been afraid of loose buttons, like the ones you would sew onto a shirt. He refuses to be near them or interact with them in any way. However, he is completely fine with buttons that are attached to clothing. My mother also sews frequently, so there is a large amount of loose buttons around their house. How can I help my dad overcome his fear of small plastic circles? – Disconcerted Descendant in Decatur
