Ad-Free #223: Bleh Riddle Riddle 5!

This is awesome thanks for sharing your knowledge!! In Connecticut we always called it mischief night and kids would indeed pull some pranks but I think they were a little more light hearted!

Not suitable for work. Meaning I could get NOTHING done except to spit coffee on my keyboard, rip my ear buds out and quietly weep laughing while trying to hold in said laughs. I could not love you more! XOXOXOXOXOXO

Cabbage night is real (or at least it was when I was growing up). Where I grew up in Southern NH, it was anarchy. Kids would go around seeking vengeance on those who wronged them. Only if you were well liked by everyone would your pumpkins survive unsmashed. This is also when the eggings would happen. Younger kids caught by older kids would be bullied to the point of emotional scarring. My understanding is that the name comes from colonial times when cabbages were thrown at the houses of your enemies but I never cared enough to verify that.

Thank you Adal for helping me look cool in front of my trivia team and giving me the answers to 3 of this week’s trivia night questions! I always knew listening to this podcast would come in handy 👻

listened to this twice, Erin you are a gem and I laughed like an idiot with you all both times. the moment she said "Lice" it was all over for me. tears!! the movie trailer, bye I almost had to pull over I couldn't see while I was driving. it was spooky scary for sure! Adal hosting game shows is my favorite genre of episodes. JPC you are so clever. this episode bangs!

Candy corn is orange in the middle! This episode contains candy corn misinformation!!!

I too shed tears at work over this. All the points to Adal for his completely fair distribution of all the points. And I was so sure that slowed down all star was in the raccoon city trailer, but it was slowed down "what's up?" by 4 non blondes. Which is somehow even better.

I was listening to this at work, and “it’s raining, it’s pouring” made me cackle aloud. I work in a biology lab, so this happened in front of a bunch of mutant mice. I feel much closer to becoming an evil scientist now, which worries me a bit, but feels on theme for Halloween.

I honestly want to hear the continuation of Erin’s original trailer, about the spooky spider breakfast and the evil(?) grandparents. I mean, what was at the bottom of that hole??

CT

Had to listen to the previous 4. So good
