Welcome to Week 3 of Hallowpalooza! Urban Legends: Based on truth? Or pure hogwash? Sometimes, the line between the two begin to blur and all you're left with is a spine tingling tale akin to the one Kate shares this week with Bobbi and Jake.

Topics include: Bunnies and hatchets and children, oh my! Mel Brookes blasphemy, serial killers, yet another example of just how creepy Mort can be. And... PIGEON GHOSTS?!? WOOOOO!

Apologies for the audio issues on this one. Maybe think of it as...spooky ambiance? Either way, we recommend listening with headphones. 

Welcome to Week 2 of Hallowpalooza! This time, we crank the spoopiness up to 15… 15 days without sleep! Which is what you will experience after listening to this creepypasta! Okay, perhaps not, but it’s still pretty darn spoopy. Listen as Mort describes his favorite frightening tale from the internet, and just how close to the truth it comes. Starring Taylor and Coach V. WOOOOOOO! 3SPOOPY5ME! WOOOOOOOO!

Welcome to Hallowpalooza! That’s right, every week in October, you lucky souls will have a new episode of Wait, What? covering various topics of horror and Halloween. This week, Mort discusses one of his favorite horror-themed artists. Topics include: Pee Wee Herman, Bats, Willy Wonka, Beavis and Butthead, Clowns.

Also starring Michelle, Jake, and Bobbi.

You're all going to die. No, that's not a threat, that's just a fact. We are all born, we live, we die. But have you considered where you're going when you die? Physically, that is. This week, Kate lifts the pale veil and educates Mort and Bobbi on some options that await then beyond the grave.

Technology is an amazing thing. It has allowed people to walk when they don't have legs. It has shortened the distance between faraway lands. It has given T Pain and Lil' Jon a career. This episode, we examine the last point by taking a long, hard look at a particular piece of software that has taken the world by storm. We also discuss technology that *shouldn't* exist, but in all honesty, probably will. 

Starring: Mort, Kate, Taylor, and Lizz.

Silver Lining (n): A term for finding a positive aspect of a generally negative situation. Advancing medicine in light of a new epidemic. Safety equipment engineered after a tragic death. Finding new appreciation for Marvel after watching Suicide Squad and Batman Vs Superman. This episode, Mort, Jake, and Sam discuss a specific silver lining, one created from one of the darkest, most tragic moments in human history: WWII. Included: Suicide Squad. Gadzookie. Weebs. Robot Boys. Suicide Squad. Moon-shaped projectiles. Power Rangers. Bastards and their bastard beams. What else? Hmmm… Oh yeah! There’s also Suicide Squad.

PS. Yes, we are sorry about the title. 

This episode we do something a little different. No, not that. Weirdo. This time, Mort's taking a break while Kate does the educating! Come listen to a tale of snitching, Calico cats, and gender swapping with Lizz and Taylor!

Hello, listeners. Are you comfortable? I hope you are. Have you been working out? You look really good. Not that you normally don’t, it’s just… Mmmm… Anyways, I hope you have about half an hour of time to step into our little playpen as Mortimer Langford makes his friends Taylor and Bobbi VERY uncomfortable as he fills them with knowledge.

Kings. Emperors. Presidents. Dave Mustaine once said “His idle hands, the Devil’s workshop, generate more smoke than heat.” And in our current age of fake news this seems truer than ever before. But has it always been this way? Has mankind always been ruled by dick-tators? Join Mortimer Langford, Lizz, and Jake as they examine the life and times of one ancient ruler who, by all rights, should probably consider suing Disney.
