One of the reasons it's my favorite is because it's when the shopping atmosphere starts to get interesting. It's October. And you know what that means, don't you? That's right. It's my favorite holiday of the year. I just go back to entering the season. Go to any store. And what do you see? What? Decorations and treats everywhere. Yes, it's finally time for... Christmas! And you are invited to Big Baba's pre Halloween Christmas Sale, where you'll find frightfully good bargains on everything you need to jump the gun on this marvelous either. Why? Here comes Santa Claus. Where are you going, Santa? I am going to Big Baba's to get chestnuts and candy corn to put in a trick or treat bags. The kids are going to hang on the fireplace. Yes, you too can confuse the kitties by jumping on the Christmas bandwagon in October. Oh, oh, oh. I'm Dasher. I'm Donner. I'm Igor and Boris. And don't forget to get your jack-o-lander to put on top of your tree. Please. How will we increase this? Don't waste time.

Big Baba's is the place for you. Scary masks, tinsel tooth, AP's on Earth and inside. Boo! Happy Baba's. You're listening to the jolene Roxbury Varayati Hour. Wait, wait, wait. Jim, I've got to stop you. We can't play this with no setup. There's a background story to this. We don't tell everybody it's not going to make any sense to anyone who's listening. So let me set this up for y'all. We did this song a handful of years ago during the height of one of my allergy attacks. I was sick all week and we had to do the show anyway. Plus, I had yard work to do. There were like a million tons of leaves in the yard. I was sick. It sounded terrible, but we recorded it anyway. So there we go. There's the setup for that. You also need to play the way back machine. Little thingy. Okay, thank you. It's time to crank up the jolene Roxbury way back machine. I can't decide which way to go. Would someone tell me I don't know? Which way to clean my yard is best? My doctor says that I should rest. So come on and let me know. Should I rake or should I blow? Because there's all these leaves, leaves, leaves. I cough and hack, they make me sneeze. But they're piling up so high and thick. But blowing dust might make me sick. So come on and let me know. Should I rake or should I blow? Should I rake or should I blow now? Should I rake or should I blow now? I hate yard work and so much trouble. But if I wait, there will be double. Will somebody let me know? Should I rake or should I blow? Boy, I remember that. I think I went through three or four bottles of NyQuil. That was awful. You know, I rarely get sick. But when I do it, my gosh, it hangs on forever. That particular one there, it was pre-COVID. Way pre-COVID. And yeah, I'll get a cold or something like that and it just hangs on forever. And yeah, mostly, we use the leaf blowers around here, okay? But sometimes, you just gotta get after something with a rake. That's why they still make them. They're appropriate at times. I'm happy we are firmly planted into October. Fall is my favorite time of year. Most favorite test. Hey, Jim. Yes, I'm here. Oh. No. It's the pumpkin patch poker. You can top your feet. Clop your heads. You're the pumpkin patch poker. You can top top top top. Oh. Pumpkin polka. All I can say is, thank God it was Miriam. You're just a killjoy, that's all I can say. That's all I can say. It's a great song. And we're gonna be playing that from now through November. Yeah. All the way through Thanksgiving. 'Cause you know, after Thanksgiving, there are no more pumpkins. There are no more gourds, no more cornucopias, anything like that. It's all about the crema celebrations. Then I whip out all of the old retro Christmas stuff. So, you're not safe, basically, now, through New Year's, Jim. Oh, I know. I, I, I, I know. Hey, I know what that music means. Earl T must be on the phone. How did I know? Hey, Earl. Hey, Julian, Earl T. Yeah, that's me, Earl T. All I ever wanted to be. Happy Halloween, dude. We'll do this. What are you up to? We're having a great time with the pumpkin patch, man. Yeah, we decided to do something for the community. Community, the local folks this year. Okay. See, we took all the pumpkins over to the local retirement home, and we're having a big pumpkin hunt. A pumpkin hunt? You know, like they do an Easter, like an Easter egg hunt, except not with Easter eggs, with pumpkins. Oh. You know, like no eggs, with pumpkins. Yeah, I get it. We thought we'd do it cause a lot of the residents, you know, they never find any Easter eggs, dude. Yeah, the eggs can be tough to find with the, uh, a stigma in the middle. So, we figured the pumpkins are so big that they'd be able to see them better, and it'd be much easier to find, man. It's gonna be great. Oh! Oh! We're gonna get over here, man! Oh, looks like the pumpkin roll didn't go too good. Pumpkin roll? That doesn't sound safe. I knew these pumpkins were too big to roll down the hill. Yeah, exactly. Oh, we got a scooter chair situation, man. I gotta go, Jolene, later! Okay, Earl, please be careful. Oh, get the crowbar, man! Just like... Oh. The Jolene Roxbury of O'Reilly, Iowa. And now, a Halloweeny moment with Belle Caddell. Halloween superstition number eight involves bobbing for apples. Of course, we're all familiar with the game, but did you know that it was once believed that the first woman who was successful in retrieving an apple with her tea would be the first to find a husband. Y'all, this one is true. My uncle once told me of a woman in his town named Arnez, who was able to come up with eight apples at a time, and the men were lined up around the barn to ask for her hand in marriage. Stay right here for more Halloween trivia. Roxbury. Hello, Jolene. This is Billy Davis. I hope you're doing well. I was just calling to see if you might help us promote our annual neighborhood hounded house. We course do it every year for the neighborhood children, and I believe you came one year with your boa, or I haven't seen you since, though. It's been a few years ago. I don't know. I guess you're just busy. But this year, I hope you'll try to make it. We're going to have the hay rides and food, delicious food. Christopher's doing his world famous about peanut butter surprise and just to die forwards, just to die. And then, of course, we're going to have all kinds of games and prizes, although this year we're not going to be able to bring back my famous, guess the number of candy corns in my pocket game. We had a lot of complaints last year from the parents. But we will be doing the annual ghost spank. And, of course, that's where I dress up in a sheet and run through the pumpkin patch. You know, while the kids just chase me around and spank the ghost, the whole world is really just a lot to spanking going on. But anyway, I hope you'll try to make it and thank you for your support. The JoMean Roxbury variety hour. Y'all, don't go anywhere. We're coming back with more show. Did you know that JoMean and the Roxbury players do their entire show in the nude? It's a good thing we never installed that webcam. Madeline, what's going on? Jeb and I have packed up our spa in a box for the winter and are busy decorating the air stream with seasonal squashes and festive fall foliage. Lord help me. Jeb has a velvet painting of Elvis sitting in a pumpkin patch. He insists on displaying in the back window. It is a frightening, realistic representation of Elvis in his later years. I'm not quite sure why he's in a pumpkin patch, but it does qualify as a seasonal display, so I know it slides. I'm sure it made Jeb really happy. As you know, I do conduct a certain amount of due diligence before we commit to staying in a particular RV park. I do know that. I like to familiarize myself with the local smoke and ordinance and of course the campground rules regarding alcohol. Must. This particular park only states that campers are to keep their drinks in a discreet container. I keep my martinis around my neck and a pair of them barnoculars. You gotta pair those from my birthday. They look like binoculars, but you can actually carry up to 16 out to your favorite beverage in them. I like to fill mine with crystal light. And they ask if you're watching any R or otherwise rated movies that you do close your blinds. I can imagine. They had a lawsuit last year when one of their older campers had some sort of infarction when they accidentally saw Kathy Bates naked in that Jack Nicholson movie. Darlene, I gotta go find Jeb's barbecue bib and load up my barnoculars. You have a good show, Darlene. Bye! It's me, Julie, right there we go!

My nails are still wet. Did you even watch the tutorial I sent you? No. I don't change my Facebook status every 15 minutes, like some people. How do I change the screen color? Oh my god, you were making this so much more complicated than it is. No wonder you're in a fog. You are hopelessly in a log. I pot, I pat, I give up. They're not my cup of tea. Instead of living, life on Facebook. I just watch TV. I'll be in a paper. My friends all say I'm weird and bad. It's hard to keep in touch with me. If you don't like my voicemail, then stop calling me so much. Answer your phone. You're living in a digital world and I am not a digital girl. You know that we are living in a digital world and I am not a digital girl. Does your status actually say Happy New Year still? Uh-huh, come on. What? I update post, I tweet. It's just that's not my favorite play. It's a way. Sometimes things are much more fun when we are face to face. I don't get it. I know. It's not because I'm old, I'm not. It's not because I'm unkind. I'm fine, but each day I take quiet time. So I don't lose my mind. Too late. 'Cause we are living in a digital world and I am not a digital girl. I know that we are living in a digital world but I am not a digital girl. Would you look at that? It seems I've accidentally dropped my cell phone in the toilet. That's a shame. In a digital world and a digital world. Maybe you got digitalis. Isn't that a show? That's a heart medication. Leave me alone. In any way Dan said he'd take care of all this post production stuff because I'm just so adorable. You're kidding, right? I thought that's what you said. You told me you had all kinds of free time. Alright, forget it. Forget it. I'm out of here. It's not that bad. Don't think it anymore. Oh, Dan. What is this? Mofo. I know. Rucks. Please answer. Answer. Pick up. Hello 9-1-1. Where is your emergency? I'm in the bathroom. Sir. Ma'am. Sir. Ma'am. You're going to have to talk a little bit louder, sir. I cannot understand you. I can't. This is Bill Caddell. I'm in the bathroom. I can't do. When's the problem, ma'am? My husband has overdosed on those man vitamins. You know? Man vitamins. You know those pills that make men happy and just. Oh, okay. You talk about those pills on the TV where that ugly man is playing golf with that really big club with that goofy look on his face. That's the one in his overdosed. And for the past four days he's been just enhanced. I can't stand it anymore. We're on vacation. I must ask you again. Where is your problem with that? Well, then we're on vacation. I've got friends over. What would you like for me to do? Would you like for me to send over some other people? Or perhaps some cocktails and food to your house or something? Absolutely not. I've got shopping to do. Well, ma'am, where are you at? I'm in my condo. I don't know. Could use a track and charge. Well, ma'am, we do not have that. This is not Lieutenant Oohora. What? You don't have to let me know your location. I don't know the address. I've got shopping to do. Well, ma'am, I am not being rude. Okay. I am simply trying to help you. I do not understand that this is not an emergency. It is to me, we're trying to play cards. I'm looking at my bulletin board right now. This did not make the list of emergencies. I don't say nothing about a woman being locked up in her bathroom with her husband wanting to get his freak on for four days in a row. Well, that's just-- You don't have to just go home now? No. I'm not going home to HR stiff and stuff. He's making me crazy. You're just going to go home and take care of your business. I'm trying to. Like everybody else does. No, I've got to hang up now, ma'am. Don't you dare leave me. I cannot talk with you anymore, ma'am. Don't hang up now. Don't hang up now. No, me hanging up on you now. No, don't hang up now. Hell. I'm Jolene Roxbury. Thank you for taking us along with you today, sharing some of your precious me time, no matter where you are, whatever you happen to be doing, getting yourself up to. We are glad to be along for the ride, because the more time we spend with you guys, the less time we have to be around each other. We love each other. All of us do, but it gets a little challenging. Right now, John, John's giving me the high sign. We have a phone call. Yes, it is our very own Martha Stewart. Martha, I'm thinking you have some pumpkin carving stuff that you're doing. Something with pumpkins. Am I right? You bet, dear. What Halloween celebration would be complete without an impressive Jack O'Lantern to greet your guests, while also keeping a watchful eye over your entryway, as the neighborhood yard dragons can invade your home. Oh, you mean like big flying insects? Children, dear. Oh, kind of terrible. Okay, let's get on with our pumpkin project. What you got? The best pumpkin project start in the patch. You should begin by searching for pumpkins that are smooth, symmetrical, and firm. And hollow out the pumpkin, using a keyhole saw or other sharp instrument to cut the hole. If you'll be using a candle for illumination, you can cut the hole in the pumpkin's top. For electric lights, make the hole in the bottom or the side so you can hide the core. Next, scoop out flesh. Now it's time to affix your design to the pumpkin and trace it by poking holes with a sharp, all-needle tool or teep in. Remove the template and carve along the pattern with a miniature saw or linoleum carving tool. If you want to make holes in the pumpkin for ice, use a drill equipped with a half-inch or three-quarter-inch spade bit. If desired, place candles, small flashlights, or battery-operated light sources inside your pumpkin. Also, to prevent exposed areas of the pumpkin's flesh from turning brown, apply a film of Vaseline. That does it for Halloween in the Hamptons. I'm Martha Stewart, and remember Halloween can be a good thing. This portion of a jolly and Roxbury variety hour is brought to you by Mr. Biddle's Little Skittles. Love candy?

Right now, we're going to take a short break, but don't you go anywhere. You meet us right back here. ♪♪ Roxbury. And now, live from her kitchen, the Alabama's beautiful Gulf Coast, the woman who loves to eat, but hates to cook. Actually, she doesn't know how to cook. Bell Kato! Greetings, everyone, and welcome to Bell's Kitchen. Football is in the air, and the stadium is where we need to make sure we need to be. What is all this? And what is this coming towards us? What's going on? They're backing in the tour bus. Stand aside. You are kidding me. This is supposed to be a simple tailgate party. And the back of the bus doesn't exactly fall down. Well, that's not going to-- So here, I brought this. It's not going to work. You brought what? Oh, geez. Where did you get this thing? It didn't actually mean you had to bring a tailgate. Really? Oh, dear. Well, maybe someone else can use it. Alec, what are we cooking today? All right. I love this one. This is my favorite stuffed burger with gorgonzola and smoky bacon. Yum. Now, you know I always say anybody can cook a hamburger, but can you cook a good hamburger? Okay. But this is one of my favorites. What you do is you take you some ground beef. I like that lean stuff, something in the 85% lean, or even 90% lean. Hey, you gotta have a little bit of fat. Oh, yeah, just like with a woman. A little fat just means more to love. And I guess that goes for burgers too, dude. Let's refrain from any commentary, all right? All right. We're going to take us some bacon. We're going to put the bacon in the skillet, but cut it up in a little bit of pieces, and let it saute and cook down in the fry, and a little skillet till it's all nice and crumbly, and get you some gorgonzola cheese, crumble it up really, really good. All right. Now, in the meantime, you take your hamburger meat, and you crunch it up really good. You smish it, you smish it, you smish it. Add a little salt and pepper to it. If you like a pinch of garlic, that's fine, too. And you get it all worth that, then you make you some patties by hand. You just smacking back and forth in your hand, and you got a good flat patty. Hey, man, I took her to the prom. Who? Flat patty, dude. She got that name because-- Hey, you don't want-- No, I don't, would you? You set that patty aside. Now, you make you another patty, and you keep making them till you use up all your ground beef. Now, what you do next is you take the patty, you put a little bit of that crumble smoky bacon on top. You put a little bit of that crumble gorgonzola cheese on top, and then you take one of those other hamburger patties and you lay it on top of the other hamburger patty. Now, you pinch your sides together, and in the middle you're going to have that gorgonzola and bacon flavor, but you're taking the two patties, you're putting them on top of each other, and so your patty is stuffed. Wait, two patties? Not another word. So that's why I call it my favorite stuffed burger with gorgonzola and smoky bacon. And, of course, there's any number of traditional southern dishes that go right along with these burgers, right? Potato salad. Cake beans. Or you can grill you some corn on the grill. Love it. Yeah, all that's just delicious. Any of that works really fine with me makes it convenient. Get you a nice big sesame seed bun to put this big old hamburger on, slicey up some tomatoes, slicey up some red onions. I'll put you the lettuce if you like some lettuce, and you've got a wonderful stuffed burger with gorgonzola and smoky bacon. Alright, that does it. Are we even going to the game? Of course we are, dear. When do they throw out the first pitch? Kick off. I knew that. Hey, Alec, let's go find us a couple of patties and paint the town red, man. Whose truck is this? We'll see everyone next week right here at the most luxurious tailgate in town. Hey, nice buns. Not that kind of tailgate. See everybody next week. ♪ Thank you, Aunt Belle. Thank you, Alec.

Really, somebody asked to hear this again. I can only figure they have a house full of in-laws. They want to turn this up really loud to get rid of them. It seems the paranormal supernatural investigation subgenre that has cropped up on cable television over the past few years has grown exponentially in popularity. There are many shows to choose from, and you can typically find one on any given night on a number of networks. Coming soon to Roxbury Television. We don't have a TV network. Coming soon to Roxbury Television as soon as we have a TV show. It's totally better. Thank you. Two riveting reality shows, combined into one hour of mind numbing suspense. Paranormal hoarding investigations. Our team has been called to a rural area of southern Georgia. Rusty Nutbolt describes to us the situation with his mother as she believes a ghost is responsible for the thousands of items she has amassed in her home. Well, thank God you're here. We just don't know what to do anymore. I'm getting up in age. Mother's getting up in age now, and well, she just keeps bringing stuff home. Ain't that truck up yet? This amount of crap is very unsafe. Crap! She goes to Goodwill and all of them thrift stores and just brings everything home with her. What was wrong with that? You gotta help us. If I stole my suit. Mr. Nutbolt's mother was in need of our help. But would she accept it? It's a hell out of my house. But clearly, she was in denial. Mama says it's a ghost bringing in all the stuff in the house and I think she's losing it. And the neighbors are starting to talk. As I told you, quit talking to their people. They just think I'm crazy. Our next step was to make our way deep into the forest behind the house to see if in fact ghosts were responsible for purchasing thousands upon thousands of crappy items from thrift stores and bringing them into her home. Or was she just a nasty old woman who let too much crap pile up in her house? It's a damn ghost! To get to the bottom of things, we called in field specialist, paranormal expert and hypnotist to the stars, Trey Vanderpoof. Trey, we'd like to find out if there are any spirits here who are filling this woman's home with crap. Are you picking anything up on your very official looking, paranormal thingy? Yes, I'm definitely getting the feeling there's a man in the house with some unresolved issues and oh my goodness! A ghost? Oh my goodness! Is it a ghost? Would you look at all these shoes? Shoes? Yes. That's all you're seeing. And most of these persons still have the tags on them. Girlfriends done some serious shopping. Hello, 1-800-GOT-Crap. When you come to pick up the order, don't touch those shoes or I'll scratch your eyes out. Are we indeed encountering a ghost? Or is this simply the case of a hoarding old woman denying responsibility for the retail regurgitation that has taken over her home? Our vast experience with cases such as this has led us to the conclusion that in extreme cases it is helpful to talk to the neighbors. I am talking with Gayle Goodbody, the across the street neighbor of Mrs. Nut Bowl. Mrs. Goodbody, what can you tell us? All I can tell you that somebody needs to get that crazy woman out of there house. So you're of the opinion that she's faking her. Don't listen to that woman, she just wants my shoes. Me and my husband sit up on the porch that night and you can just hear all kind of noise going on over there. Do you suspect a ghost? Have you ever called the police? The police go by there all the time. Shine that light on the house but don't nobody see nothing. Have you seen all this stuff in that house? Indeed I have. We're here investigating the fact that Mrs. Nut Bowl claims a ghost is responsible. She says she got a ghost. That's what she's claiming. All the ghosts that little girl is in her hair because she's crazy. And we conclude yet another successful case of paranormal hoarding investigations. And now a Halloweeny moment with Belle Caddell. Halloween stooper station number 12. On Halloween night, do not sit underneath a Hawthorne tree or you can expect to become enchanted or taken away by fairies. You know I do believe this one is true. When I was growing up, I had a relative we referred to as Uncle Barbara. And any time we'd ask Grandmother would tell us he had become enchanted. We figured it out after we grew up. Day right here for more Halloween stoopers stations. The Juleen Roxbury of O'Reilly, Iowa. Hey Juleen, it's Brooks. Hey everybody, it's our truck driving cousin Brooks, phoning in his promo. Let's just launch right into it. This is Billy Brooks coming to you live. Wait, wait, wait. You can't say live. Well, I am live right now. True. We can start that again. See this is why I don't like dealing with you directly. Why? It's just a nitpicky. Please just start over. This is Billy Brooks coming to you live from the cab of my Peter Bill. When I'm running across the country with a hot load of freight, I listen to the Juleen Roxbury variety hour podcast on FM21065.com. You know, I'm thinking, don't you listen to the show when you're not hauling freight across the country? Well, it don't matter. Well, yeah, I know, but people might get the impression that you only listen when you're hauling freight across the country. Why do you say that specifically? Well, because I do haul those girl statues. Yeah. It kind of makes it sound like you work harder than we do. Maybe I need to say we haul stuff. Only thing you're hauling is a load up. Hey. Lending truckers roll 10-4. That's a train was. I'll break the one, nine, and tear the rubber deck. You better cut me on me in a little machine. [Music] My grandson is a senior, and I can't wait to see him in the halftime shows. Jeb Jr., you're supposed to be down on that field. It's fine. He gave me 20 bucks to take my place. Who gave you 20 bucks? Is that David Lord with A&A vacuum down on that field? What is he doing down there? Oh, he said he couldn't march back when he was in high school because of his asthma. So I was like, "Here, take my tuba. Have a field day." He can't carry your tuba. He's got a bad back. What's he carrying? Is that a... Yeah. It's a vacuum cleaner. He's taking a vacuum down on that field. Hey, Tony. Come over here for a minute. Aren't you the more reasonable brother? You got to do something. This can't happen again. You remember how bad it was the last time David went down on the field, right? That was terrible. He took out the whole first line of the horn section. Stomping around down there like he knows what he's doing. Where's he going now? No. We go left here. Left. This ain't good at all. Can't you do something? I've got this. What you got is a liability, my friend. Make your day with A&A. Pop in the top on a big old can of crazy. It's the Jolene Roxbury variety hour. And Jolene Roxbury, thank you for joining us this week. We love you guys. And you know, since we moved our studios up to Roxbury Farms, the bunch of us have been sifting through all of our audio files. And over 15 years, that's a lot. We got a lot of stuff. We got stuff we don't remember recording, like at all. I remember when Reggie, who is one of our Roxbury players, he's been with us all 15 years, he sponsored our show in the very beginning. He never sent us any money, but he called himself a sponsor. And we did too because well, we really didn't have anything else. So we just went with it. And he is kind of sort of family. So, you know, that was another reason. Anyway, Reggie did several segments on Halloween history. And I just love them. So we are going to resurrect those for the month of October. Here we go. It's time to crank up the Jolene Roxbury Wayback Machine. Hello, Jolene. How you doing? Doing great, thank you. I thought we'd be very educated this week for y'all listeners to know something about the history of Halloween. Janelle, I would like to start by enlightening everybody on a custom or modern day tricking or treating. Sounds good? This custom originated when the Irish priests were massed while going door to door, begging for the soul cakes. Now, the soul cakes of long ago ain't like the ones that they get that day. You mean they actually make something called a soul cake today? Soul cakes of today, I use Lloyd's lid and wire spread in the gymnasium locker room toilets throughout the public school system. I do not. But way back in the day, soul cakes was goods that was baked up and offered to the souls of the departed. Another custom was when the Protestants, which ain't like what y'all thinking about price events, which is totally different. But the Protestants would encourage the needy to travel from house to house to gather food for the pole. This was called going solely. I've heard about that, going solely. Much like Smokey Robinson did when he went solely from the Americas. Because getting ready to make that exact analogy, yes. Families who would donate foods was rewarded with a treat, if you will, and those who did not was punished with a trick. Now the Irish soon realized that going solely was way too difficult to pronounce. The Irish couldn't pronounce going solely when extremely drunk. Oh. And when the great potato famine struck hard in the mid-1800s, it was all a week from hunger and decided to simplify things and just call it trick-a-treat. I'm loving the Halloween history. I don't know if I believe all of what you have written down there. Ok then Janelle, I'll be back on next week's show with more Halloween history. And now, a Halloween-y moment with belch at all. Another ridiculous Halloween superstition. It is said, you can cure a toothache simply by spitting into a frog's mouth, transferring the pain from your mouth to the frog. I'm thinking that if your mouth is that close to a frog, a toothache is not your biggest problem. Stay tuned for more Halloween superstitions. I'm Jolene Roxbury. You know, one of my favorite things about the show in October has always been checking in with Earl T. at the Pumpkin Toss. He would always have a report of sorts. This is Earl T. You're a man on the street reporter. Although there's not really a street here, it's more like a big field because you don't throw pumpkins onto a street. You throw them into a field because you don't want to cause big traffic crashes. Although that'd be kind of fun. That'd be a whole different thing. You know, it'd be the Pumpkin Highway Toss car crash thing. Earl, kind of pressed for time here. Anyway, this is where people toss pumpkins at the Pumpkin Toss. And? And that pretty much explains it there. You told me you were going to be doing some interviews? I'm going to talk to a couple of the teams right now. Here's one right now. Hey, excuse me, sir. What's your name? And what's the name of your team? We're the orange next. Oh, I get it. Yeah. He's not red, it's orange. He's pumpkins or orange. Yeah, that's right. Do you have any special way to toss? No. Alrighty. Well, I'll talk to another team here in just a minute. Oh, boy. This is Earl T. at the Pumpkin Toss. Keep it right here on FM Talk 1065. Guests of the Jolene Roxbury Variety Hour stay at that big fancy hotel downtown. The rest of us stay at the Motel 3. Anyway, she never has any guests. In 1978, the world was frightened by the movie Halloween. Directed by John Carpenter and starring Jamie Lee Curtis, Donald Pleasance, a Captain Kirk mask, and a big honking knife. It became a classic. Then came Halloween II, proving that if something works the first time, it'll work the second time. That was followed by Halloween III, which oddly had nothing to do with Halloween I or II, but it was called Halloween III anyway. And by this time, Jamie Lee Curtis had better things to do with her career. [Singing] It was followed by Halloween IV, the return of Michael Myers, which was called the return of Michael Myers, so everybody would know that Halloween IV was returning to the story of Halloween I and II, and had nothing to do with Halloween III, which had nothing to do with Halloween I and II, or IV. Then there was Halloween V, the revenge of Michael Myers, like he wasn't seeking revenge all along. Then came Halloween VI, the curse of Michael Myers, which explained the curse that led to the revenge that came after the return. After that, Halloween H2O, not named H2O because it was watered down, but because it was Halloween 20 years later. It should have been named Halloween VII, the return of Jamie Lee Curtis. Hold on, we're not done. Halloween VIII, Resurrection was next, where Michael Myers comes back to life. Whoa, didn't see that coming. Then there was Halloween. Yes, just Halloween, directed appropriately by Rob Zombie, where Halloween starts all over again. Now, this Halloween. Prepare yourself for something completely different. The Muppets do Halloween. Halloween, Halloween, Halloween, Halloween, Halloween. The Muppets do Halloween. Because, frankly, we've just run out of ideas. I'm Jolene Roxbury.
