The turkey was delicious but it didn’t baste long enough. If you know what I mean. Grandma kept picking at the pie after dinner. If you know what I mean. That phrase – if you know what I mean – when added to the end of almost any sentence, makes it sound suggestive and sexual. Sounds like you have a new feature for your show. If you know what I mean…
Two mannequin challenge ideas: do one with pets if you can get them to stay still. The other is to get a boatload of turkeys from the grocery store and do a Thanksgiving mannequin challenge where the turkeys don’t move (which, of course, they won’t because they’re all dead and in packages).
Somewhere in your audience, someone is hosting Thanksgiving for the very first time this year. Find that person and let that story live on your show by finding them expert help with the cooking each day to knock it out of the park for their guests. The payoff comes the Monday after the holiday weekend when you have them on, with some of their guests, to critique the day.
Here’s a new game you can play called “Real Stat or F-That”. This one comes compliments from Brent, Indie 88, Toronto, who goes out on the street loaded with real, but weird statistics on things and a few made up (but plausible). You must guess three of five right to win. This is viable for a street feature or on the phones with a listener.
Monday would be a great day to ask fathers to take an oath (humorously written by you) to promise to not raid, eat, or steal their kid’s Halloween candy.
As an election bit, go to a place where there’s early voting or have someone record this on November 8th (election day). Ask people leaving the polling place to describe the candidate they did NOT vote for by using two words. Best part is no names are used so you’re not advocating for a side.
For us it was the Fudin family. They were the family in our neighborhood the kids abused every Halloween. Toilet paper in the trees, dog doo on the front stoop. If the cops were called Halloween night, it was pretty much a guarantee that Mrs. Fudin did the dialing. If there was a family like that in your neighborhood when you were a kid, it might be fun to call them to apologize as an adult as a Halloween idea.
No matter where you turn right now, there’s a new poll on the presidential race. How about one of your own? Spend a week offline finding kids and asking them: based on what you know about Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, who’d give out the better candy on Halloween? Whoever the kids pick wins the presidency. Like other polls, “release” this info to the media and I bet you get some coverage.
Who isn’t exhausted from this presidential campaign, right? Find a bunch of cute sounding seven-year olds and record each of them, in their own words, telling the candidates to just shut up already. String them together with an appropriate music bed and reflect how everyone feels!
There’s this theory that everything tastes better with pumpkin spice. Let’s test this. Bring in some regular foot (oatmeal, cookies) with pumpkin spice. Then see if other food items (anchovies, dog food) tastes better with it.
