Wonky Times

This week, Matt and RoboBrian welcome bestselling author Scott Wells for part one of a spooky two-part conversation about his hit horror novel Marked by the Ouija — a story of friendship, restless spirits, and a Ouija board that refuses to stay gone.

Before the interview, professionally-voiced narration sets the stage:

A seemingly harmless night turns terrifying.

This week, things get extra spooky on Wonky Times! Matt and RoboBrian kick off the Halloween Spooktacular Special with a rapid-fire rundown of bizarre holiday traditions—like why skeletons make such popular decorations, what the “trick” in “trick or treat” actually means, and whether bobbing for apples is really just medieval germ-sharing. RoboBrian even pitches carving jack-o’-lanterns out of coffee beans… because, why not?
