Tongue Slits , Midlife Terrors, and Larry Lupree in a Cabinet
Chris and Jeff sprint headlong into spooky season: sweaty plastic masks with tongue-slicer mouth slits, and the eternal question—why do fewer kids trick-or-treat now and why did our childhoods involve more eggs, fists, and questionable judgment?
The lads veer gloriously off-road into “adult fear”: a 13-year-old’s drive-to-school pop quiz on mortality, Jeff’s grandma turning 104 on steak and cheesecake, and a ranked list of "Things That Shouldn’t Be Hobbies Because They Can Kill You" (hi, small planes and scuba).
Jeff confesses to one nightmare he can’t shake, while Chris admits his true terror is!
Midway through Jeff and Chris’s nostalgic dive into Halloween memories and mortality, Larry Lupree bursts in metaphorically (and almost literally) to derail the vibe with his trademark mix of manic confidence and carnival-barker enthusiasm. He drops stories about his “mentor from the golden age of television,” name-drops obscure industry relics, and manages to make thelistener feel both confused and vaguely implicated.
Finally, the boys land the broomstick with a deliciously weird history nugget: ghosts weren’t “see-through floaty guys” until phantasmagoria lantern shows in the late 1700s. Before that, ghosts looked… like regular people who could vanish mid-hallway. Which is somehow much worse. Sleep tight!

Larry Lupree has spent over three decades shaping the entertainment industry in ways both visible and, more often, invisible. His innovative thinking has left its mark on live entertainment, from his pioneering work with “pay-to-clap” audience participation to his popular workshop How to Get Discovered at the DMV.
Larry’s expertise extends beyond traditional bookings. He pioneered the concept of “applause recycling” at minor league baseball games, and spearheaded the now infamous "Fax Yourself Famous" seminar (still available on CD-ROM).
When not negotiating contracts, Larry can often be found networking at Rotary Club luncheons and high school reunions, where he insists “the real deals get made.”
