Under the assumption that things would get all ghouls and goblins-style spooky, the boys set off to talk about Halloween frights... but discover that real life is far spookier than fiction. Along the way they discuss the merits of jack-o-lanterns, pit the ghost of John Belushi against ghost-like Bill Murray, refuse to fall, avoid primates, embrace snakes, and try not to be so vane!

The finite nature of the world around us is what gives life meaning… or something. So this week the boys look into what it means to let go of something when it’s time. Whether we’re talking TV, water parks, people, or beloved pets turned drone - Matthew and Adam get to the bottom of what it means to let something fade away.

Tell 'em Prospector Dan sent you!

With Adam off slaying Dragon Con, Matthew collects favorite moments from Worst Adults history from listeners in order to compile a clip show. The result is a surprisingly good summation of what you should expect from the show: singing, obsessive behavior, half-baked characters, guests that are WAY smarter than Adam and Matthew, and episode-long tangents! Enjoy!

Favorite Moments:

• Adam's Amazon addiction! (02:05)
• Crime buddies! (07:44)
• He Would Fill His Mouth With Bees! (10:37)
• Cracky rides again! (26:17)

This month danger lurks around every corner... Or it would if corners were featured in jungles. But danger nonetheless lurks... Mostly in trees and in very bad visual effects! And the only man who can save us is the Governator himself!

Yes, this month we're watching Predator... Because why not? It's a classic... Right?

(Movie starts at the 08:59 mark.)

Hey, folks... This week we're doing things a little differently. Which is to say we're doing a completely different kind show. But don't panic. The Worst Adults I Know isn't going anywhere anytime soon. We were just curious if we could pull off the fancast format (and turn TV watching into work!)...

So this week we're diving into Donald P. Bellisario's late-80s, early-90s time travel body swap series Quantum Leap! Beginning with the two-parter that started it all back in 1989!

Did we pull it off? Let us know! If there's enough positive feedback, this might just become our next podcast venture!

Our intro music in this episode was "Where's My Jetpack?" by Computer Music All-Stars. You can find more by Computer Music All-Stars over at cmallstars.com. Our outro music is Herman Hupfeld's "As Time Goes By" as performed by Dooley Wilson.

See you next leap!

This week Adam goes to a very special summer camp, Matthew has a hard time with a movie trailer, Guy Fieri changes the food competition game (again), and the boys set sail at the zoo!

• The danger of paper towels! (04:20)
• Cooking competition! (10:00)

This week, a coincidental portmanteau turns what was supposed to be a quick opening bit for a clip show into a full blown episode! Their early morning recording finds the boys reinventing fast food, scolding Mel Gibson, questioning cinematic alien invasion tactics, towing/toeing water, choosing The Good Place over Pushing Daisies, and imagining some pretty gnarly vape flavors.

Talking Points coming soon!
