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?
After the lightning crashes and evil laughs settle down, Matt sits down with Eddie from Creepy Coffees—a paranormal-loving coffee brand that blends caffeine with ghost stories. They chat about:
- How Eddie takes his coffee ☕👻
- Creepy Coffee’s Arizona roots and upcoming tour
- Short stories and spooky storytelling
- Paranormal experiences at places like Shaker’s Cigar Bar, The Conjuring House, and the Shanghai Tunnels
Grab your favorite brew, dim the lights, and join us for a mix of caffeine, creepiness, and conversation.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
