Hello, and welcome to SciShow Tangents, the fritely competitive science-knowledge

Scream Case! I'm your ghost Hank Gangrene, and joining me this week as always is Mad Scientist,

Scary Riley! Boop! And our resident, every wolfman, Sam Skulls.

The old calendar on the wall says it's time for Halloween once more, and as you know, we hear

at SciShow Tangents love to get into the spooky spirit, and this year is no different.

October will be trick-or-treat month, and Sam and Sarah have invited some ghoulish guests over

to Tangents Manor to join us this week and the rest of the weeks, I think. In fact, I think I

can hear one of them approaching the door now. Trick-or-treat? Why it's former Simpsons writer and

showrunner and current internet food reviewer at large, author of Space 1969 Bill Oakley!

Hi Bill, thank you for doing us. Yeah, how did we get you and your and your hamper of

full of dreams? Wow! You guys, somebody mentioned me on Twitter like a month ago from this podcast,

and there was, I believe one of you guys selected me as your preferred mystery guest. So,

tagged me in this, and I was like, sure, I'd love to be on the show. And then, you know,

the rest is history. Sam is living his dream life right now. He never smiles this much.

Your views just make me laugh so hard. I was watching the Velvita Martini last night,

just cracking up, and also wishing I could have one. Those were good, man. You're probably

going to have to go to a lot of trouble to make your own from scratch, but it might be worth

if you want to spend $75 to make a cheese martini. Yeah, they're cheese martinis with cheese

on the rim, and then macaroni and cheese stuffed olives. Yep, yep. And they were good.

They were actually so shockingly good. Look, I think that there are not enough things to spend $75

on that has gone immediately. Like, all the things that have been $75 on, I have to like look

at them. It's still in the house, yeah. Yeah. May I direct you to Las Vegas in that case?
