HAPPY HALLOWEEN! We knew if we were gone long enough, we'd have to come back with something special, and... does a paranormal investigation in the oldest house in Manhattan fit the bill? Welcome to The Morris-Jumel Mansion, former residence of folks like George Washington, Aaron Burr, Eliza Jumel, and current residence of a handful of ghosts. At least, that's what we were told, so we strapped on microphones and decided to find out for ourselves. Our full Scooby-Doo gang included: DJB, Lauren, and Ashley, plus our favorite witch Miranda, new friend (and reluctant medium) Angie, and Broadway Hamilton alum Greg Treco. Join us as we join museum staff Charlie and Danielle to turn on the microphones, turn off the lights, and get frickin' spooky... Will you, too, be afraid of cat toys after tonight...? Follow us @DrunkMormonPod or the mansion @morrisjumel

We aren't the only drunk podcast out there, and like any 2 hot messes at a frat party, we have a way of finding each other! We're joined this week by Mike, Nate, and Jimmy of The Drunk Guys Book Club Podcast who willingly choose to crack open a copy of Chris Heimerdinger's "Tennis Shoes Among the Nephites". Some of us LOVED the book, and some of us DID NOT. Can you guess who was who? For more drunk book reports, or to hear all the jokes that DJB cut out of our edit, check out The Drunk Guys Book Club.
