Jeff does another classic solo episode to deliver some anger because this podcast is recorded over the course of an entire day and a half because Jeff runs into constant issues, for the second time this week his fancy HP printer fails to do what he wanted to do (quickly print a thing without a 3 hour ordeal).

Jeff is also very frustrated to find that he got a poor review that also indirectly immasculated him for driving a minivan and having amazing long hair. Jeff has several things to discuss in the You Cannot Be Serious Segment.

Jeff had some positive things happen for him, he got a commercial agent, a couple of last minute spots at the comedy clubs in town, got hit on by a homeless drifter looking for a place to stay after the show.

Jeff discusses a few simple halloween costumes for dudes to do and still look like you tried. Some of his classic go-to costumes

Jeff also goes down a masquerade ball rabbit hole and figures out that masquerade balls were just parties that existed before the invention of the gloryhole. Then Jeff comes up with a romantic comedy that involves two men meeting at a gloryhole and becoming soul mates.
