Speaker 1 (00:01):
It's broken Jeffrey in the morning and straight from the
radio vault back on the airwaves. Yeah, excited. Today we
revive a segment that died years ago.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Don't let it die down. It was actually.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
It was killed mercifully, just like doctor Frankenstein. We're bringing
this monster back to life and unleashing it on the world.
It is the glorious return of reverse trick or treating.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
Now, if you've never heard it before, that would make sense.
You've even done it in like a decade.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
I don't, honestly, I think someone stole our idea because
I've seen it going viral on TikTok. Really, yes, just
because we talked about it for like months now before
we did it, so people did it sooner. Yes, maybe
send one of your twelve lawyers after those people brooke
so we can get some money out of them.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
But we got to get right to this so real quick.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
If you don't know, we sent our own redheaded, three
fingered test tube baby orphan out to a local neighborhood.
His name is Ashton, and let's see Ashton.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Are you on the line.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
I am hello.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Ashton described to the listeners what you're about to do here?
Speaker 3 (01:20):
So right now I am standing in a local neighborhood
and part of a house, and the goal is I'm
going to knock on the front door and try and
convince the person living inside to let me into their house. Huh.
Then we swap and then they go trigger treating at
their own house.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
Yes, you close down on them. You have to knock
and ask a trigger treat. Are you in costume or
did you bring candy? Yeah, you have to have candy.
Are you dressed up?
Speaker 3 (01:48):
Bro? I brought candy, and I am dressed up as
a thaithful radio employee because he doesn't need to dress.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
Up because he's on the trigger treat, so he looks poor. Yeah,
he's gonna be the door.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
We wanted him to wear some sort of radio attire
so that when he says I work for a radio station,
they might actually believe.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
He's got a badge. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
So I'm reminding our listeners at home, this is not
a hoax. This is not set up or a stock
This is happening live right now.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Do we get to know how how you picked the house? Ashton?
Speaker 3 (02:18):
So this first house we picked, we picked it because
the house we were originally going to do a dude
started mowing his lawn in front of it, so we shifted.
We provided audio.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Okay, yeah, well Andy wasn't inside. Well you should have
done that. The guy was home. But you can't try
to treat if the guy's already outside. There's no knocking
on the door yet, the whole bit.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
Yeah, we could have just ran in through the door
and closed it on him. This opportunity.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
Then that's a good point.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
So Ashton, we don't have a lot of time here.
We need you to go ahead, approach the door and
we are going to listen in.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
The door right now.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
All right, look, I hope you could take a punch Ashton.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
Oh god, this is Sunday. The house they have two
front doors. Which one they did too?
Speaker 2 (03:00):
That was a duplex.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
All right, here we go. Oh, here's the ring. I'm
trying to seem happy and I'm seeing Hi.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
Start crying the ring. No, don't actually cry.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
That's like that they might scare them.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
All right, I'm gonna try to ring again. No one's coming. No.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
Wait, do they see your radio station hat that you're wearing.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
Yeah, I'll show them. I'll show them. Hi, guys, I'm
here with the radio station. I know you can't hear
me if I'm gonna talk to you to in the
rings done? Okay, I don't know you.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Could hang up on a ring? Can Okay?
Speaker 1 (03:47):
Move away from that one.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
Let's go to the next house over.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
Yeah, okay on the second door.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
That strategy didn't work.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
You probably approached the last house to like shyly and coyly.
Sprint to the door this time. Okay, you need to
show confidence.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Are you running?
Speaker 3 (04:09):
All right? I'm not the next door.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
Okay, ring that doorbell?
Speaker 3 (04:13):
All ring it?
Speaker 2 (04:15):
No ring camera, I can't hear that one.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
These people are broke.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
Ring doorbell a subscription service.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
That's a lot for a moment. Hi. Hello, I'm with
a morning radio show and we're actually doing a live
segment right now. Would you be willing to participate? Are
you sure?
Speaker 2 (04:42):
It's Brook and Jeffrey Brook and Jeffrey in the morning.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
Oh you're working? All right?
Speaker 2 (04:45):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (04:46):
Well, I have a a you know what, then, I
just have a good day. You're missing out? Is it
the red hair? Is the red hair? Okay? Well? No,
all right, all right, we'll have a have a good
enrest here to day, sir. Thank you? Well that was rude.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Yeah, I feel like, that's not the first the red
hair turned someone off.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
We're in the middle of reverse trick or treating, sending
our technical director Ashton, out to the local neighborhood, trying
to convince homeowners to let him inside swap places so
they can trick or treat at their own house. It's
so good.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
Okay, buddy, you got it in you to do another house.
I feel like we have to do this until it works, right.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
Okay, should ask the people walking down the street if
they know people are home.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
No, they're going to call the cops on it.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
Sche mask, don't take the neighborhood. Okay, we we'll go
back to the one lower house. How about that?
Speaker 2 (05:48):
All right? One more Ashton, you get one more chance.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
Oh gosh, if you can't.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Do no, I'm not saying that your job is on
the line if you don't get this. I'm not saying that.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
What did they answer? Oh god, hell, hell, he's running hello.
Oh no that.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
Time?
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Okay, Ashton. You know what Ashton? Where we're calling It's
it's a fail. It's a fail.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
The goal is to give an adult a childlike Halloween experience.
You were not able to enter a stranger's house and
give them candy. I knew this was a bad idea
when Brooke suggested it in the pitch meeting.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
You know what that means.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Keep going next next year, Brook will be reverse trick
or treating in a bad neighborhood.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
I can do it, She'll get the job done. The
text in seven, eight, five, nine two.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
If you want Ashton to try again next week a
little bit closer to Halloween Day, or do we kill
this segment once again?
Speaker 2 (07:05):
Can we just choose a better time.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
It's not funny.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
If you do it at a better time, no one's gonna
open the door.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
That was reverse trick or treating. It's Brook and Jeffrey
in the morning.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
Brook and Jeffrey in the morning.
It's broken Jeffrey in the morning and straight from the

Intentionally Disturbing
Join me on this podcast as I navigate the murky waters of human behavior, current events, and personal anecdotes through in-depth interviews with incredible people—all served with a generous helping of sarcasm and satire. After years as a forensic and clinical psychologist, I offer a unique interview style and a low tolerance for bullshit, quickly steering conversations toward depth and darkness. I honor the seriousness while also appreciating wit. I’m your guide through the twisted labyrinth of the human psyche, armed with dark humor and biting wit.
