Oh my God, hi, it's me Dave Holmes. Welcome to Troubled Waters. The show that treats popular

culture is the most important kind of culture because it's the kind of culture that serves a dark

and twisted mirror onto our own selves, like even the Golden Girls. To this end, Troubled Waters pits a pair

of entertainers against one another in a pop culture

battle to the ego death. And now it's a special episode, all about monsters to win this battle.

Each guest will be called upon to use their smarts, their rhetorical skills, maybe the great

comebacks they wish that they had said in the moment to earn the coveted troubled waters title pundit emeritus, which will automatically give their opinion on if maybe Dr. Frankenstein is actually himself the real monster when you think about it more weight than a civilians.

You are listening to the troubled waters Halloween extravaganza. Let's meet our guests.

Our first contestant is a comic and the host of Pod Yourself a Gun.

It's Matt Leeb.
