Dogs cats black cats in the late 1980s, a woman in chicago adopted a black cat as part of her halloween costume and days later the animal was found dead.

Who do you think won the winner by five points? By five points Hannah, hannah, hannah Fitzpatrick.

Hannah 29:14

The winner of Halloween everybody, I mean, as it should be 24 to Rob's 19. I'm really surprised, though, with how much you did know, so yeah 19 was pretty good.

Courtney 29:27

I mean, I had a couple other little things I had found.

Hannah 29:33

I'm sad there was only one question about the fucking shining should be more but now, well, we didn't do all 100 questions no, because a lot of them didn't make any sense.

Courtney 29:44

Yeah, um, I had one that I thought was interesting the fact that I came across when I was researching that husband hunting was once a halloween tradition oh, like girls going out looking for their new husband back in the 18th century, halloween was about tricks in more ways than one.

Courtney 30:01

At this time, people took too many, took too many peculiar methods to rewrite their real halloween horror story. Being single in the fall, these tactful techniques included lighting candles in front of a mirror in a dark room to conjure up the fact of a future lover, and even tossing apple peels over their shoulders to form an initial upon landing.

Rob 30:21

Ooh.

Courtney 30:22

Witchcraft, witchcraft. Most of the other ones that I had found we had kind of already figured out from our trivia. I did think it was also interesting that a full moon only brightens the sky once every 19, halloweens.

Rob 30:39

Oh, that was kind of interesting yeah, full moon on Halloween is pretty rare. Rare, does it say, when the next one is um, let's see, it does not when is the next full moon?

Courtney 30:50

on a halloween the moon will appear full from everywhere on earth on october 31st. This is from nasagov. Oh god, is it this year? Oh my god, yeah.

Rob 30:57

Is it this year? No it, oh God. Is it this year? Oh my God, yeah. Is it this year? Putnums, no, it was 2020. Where did you get?

Hannah 31:03

this Witchcraft Fucking Putnums.

Rob 31:07

All right, courtney, is that it for tonight?

Courtney 31:10

Yeah, I figured some trivia, a little bit of Halloween. We got to feed Hannah. That's becoming abundantly clear.

Rob 31:15

Yes, yes, do we want to read a card or save it for next time?

Courtney 31:19

Let's save one for next time.

Rob 31:20

Okay.

Courtney 31:26
