Hello everyone and welcome to our early Halloween surprise, as you may have noticed that we dropped

always a lot of fun to produce, so I hope you enjoy this one and have a very safe and happy Halloween.

He's here to remind us to embrace our fears and double check under our beds.

Are you alone in the house? Are you sure? Are you only asked because someone might be hiding

in your home right now, watching you as you listen to this? No, it's not some urban legend.

It actually happens. It even has a name. Frogging is a term inspired by frogs leaping from place to
