Blind Love Is? Halloween Edition

30 Oct 2025

Transcription

Chapter 1: What is the special theme of this Halloween edition of Blind Love Is?

0.031 - 4.017 Unknown

On the podcast Health Stuff, we are tackling all the health questions that keep you up at night.

0

4.277 - 7.282 Dr. Priyanka Wally

I'm Dr. Priyanka Wally, a double board certified physician.

0

7.422 - 12.83 Hari Kondabolu

And I'm Hari Kundabolu, a comedian and someone who once Googled, do I have scurvy at 3 a.m.?

0

12.85 - 17.838 Jeff

And on our show, we're talking about health in a different way, like our episode where we look at diabetes.

0

18.499 - 22.765 Dr. Priyanka Wally

In the United States, I mean, 50% of Americans are pre-diabetic.

22.88 - 25.348 Jeff

How preventable is type 2?

25.83 - 32.772 Dr. Priyanka Wally

Extremely. Listen to Health Stuff on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

33.798 - 48.513 Radhi Devlukia

Hi, I'm Radhi Devlukia, and I am the host of A Really Good Cry podcast. This week, I am joined by Anna Runkle, also known as the Crappy Childhood Fairy, a creator, teacher, and guide helping people heal from the lasting emotional wounds of unsafe or chaotic childhoods.

48.813 - 58.723 Unknown

Talking about trauma isn't always great for people. It's not always the best thing. About a third of people who are traumatized as kids feel worse when they talk about it, get very dysregulated.

Chapter 2: How do the hosts set the mood for the Halloween special?

217.006 - 221.31 Jeff

It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning, and I mean that in the most non-serial-killery way possible.

0

221.33 - 224.613 Dr. Priyanka Wally

Really? Because you said it in the most serial-killery way possible.

0

224.633 - 237.365 Jeff

It's just my voice. Truly, though, we don't want our listeners spending the most terrifying night of the year all by themselves. That's why today we got to try a special Halloween edition of Blind Love Is.

0

237.625 - 237.685 Hari Kondabolu

Oh!

0

238.222 - 259.181 Jeff

Two of our listeners who've never met each other before, never seen one another, never heard their voices, will be monster mashed together. Right here on our show for the first time to have a flirtatious little seance of the heart. And we'll find out if it's true love at first fright. Okay. Alexis, you want more puns or should we get to the game?

259.201 - 262.106 Dr. Priyanka Wally

I gave you, I said I liked one and now I'm done. Okay. Good writing.

262.126 - 270.479 Jeff

We've got two listeners waiting on hold. I know we tend to think that this show is all about us, but when they're on, we need to stay quiet. Okay.

270.499 - 273.244 Brooke

Well, you've been talking for the last five minutes.

273.284 - 289.731 Jeff

This is our part of the show where we can talk, but when the listeners, we need to let it happen and we have encouraged them to ask Halloween-themed questions. Yeah, that's fun. I like that. So we'll jump into Discuss afterwards. But yes, we do want to match multiple couples up here. So we're going to go really quickly.

Chapter 3: What unique format is introduced for listener matchmaking?

343.304 - 352.275 Dr. Priyanka Wally

But like my mom still makes me text her a photo of my costume before I go out. Really? I'm 29, so yeah, I don't know.

0

352.295 - 378.119 Jeff

It's complicated, I guess. Okay. I like that. It sounds like your parents really care about you. Okay, so here's a Halloween question for you. You wake up the morning after Halloween. What candy wrapper is all over your bed, and who do you blame? Oh, probably Kit Kats. Oh.

0

378.139 - 382.945 Hari Kondabolu

And I'd blame my dentist, because he told me to cut back on sweets, and now it's all I think about when I'm lonely.

0

383.306 - 387.732 Jeff

Oh. Let's see. Reverse apology. Okay.

0

391.397 - 394.101 Hari Kondabolu

Okay. You don't think about chocolate, too, when you're by yourself?

396.244 - 400.349 Jeff

Oh. So many people do.

400.509 - 400.95 Hari Kondabolu

Same, girl.

401.13 - 427.897 Jeff

I know, Brooke. Okay, so here's my question for you. What can I do, Keith? Let's say that you and I are a couple, and you can invite one famous monster to our Halloween party. Who's coming, and what drink are they bringing? Okay. Yeah, that's a good question. I don't know. I guess the mummy?

428.899 - 431.022 Hari Kondabolu

Okay. Okay. Wives?

Chapter 4: What Halloween-themed questions do the listeners ask each other?

522.095 - 541.786 Jeff

Like, I still like to do things a seven would do. Fun five. Oh, okay. Sure. I didn't know there was a difference. Not totally sure what's going on. Okay, guys, this is Jeff here. So I don't want to ruin the spooky mood or anything, but we only have time for one more Halloween question. Make it count? Yeah, make this your best question.

0

541.967 - 548.614 Hari Kondabolu

Okay, I have one. What's the most ridiculous thing that's ever scared you on Halloween?

0

548.634 - 551.777 Brooke

That's cute. Those are good questions.

0

552.758 - 565.177 Jeff

I live in an apartment. And I never really get trick-or-treaters, but on one Halloween, there was a knock on my door around 8, and a 6-year-old was dressed as Bud Lightyear.

0

565.959 - 569.43 Dr. Priyanka Wally

Oh, cute. Okay, and that scared you?

569.984 - 582.624 Jeff

Well, he ran straight at me, yelling, to infinity and beyond. And then that startled me. And then I screamed so loud, my neighbors checked to see if I was being robbed. Maybe we should jump in here.

582.964 - 588.573 Brooke

Maybe he should order some toilet paper. Yeah. I'm really concerned about that part of his life. Yeah.

588.593 - 600.671 Jeff

Okay. Well, that's a fair thing to worry about. But let's put them on hold for a second. Before you put me on hold, the toilet paper thing doesn't happen all the time. It's just... some of the time. Got it. I think he was setting up his joke about the mummy morning.

600.691 - 600.952 Stephen Curry

Yeah, I know.

Chapter 5: How do the listeners react to their first impressions?

653.641 - 654.462 Dr. Priyanka Wally

Oh.

0
0

655.388 - 657.551 Hari Kondabolu

Yeah, I'm down to do that.

0

657.992 - 658.633 Dr. Priyanka Wally

Okay.

0

658.913 - 661.156 Jeff

All right. She's going to ghost him.

662.198 - 663.059 Brooke

I can tell by her voice.

663.099 - 688.861 Jeff

All right. Well, we'll exchange numbers between you two and whatever happens, happens. Yeah. Okay. It's not going to happen. That felt good. Okay. I'm excited. Keep us updated on what happens or what probably doesn't happen. But we're going to continue with a brand new couple for more Halloween Blind Love Is when we come back right after this.

688.881 - 694.827 Jeff

It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning, and we're in the middle of a very special Halloween edition of Blind Love Is.

695.087 - 697.409 Brooke

It's going pretty well so far.

Chapter 6: What challenges do the couples face during their conversations?

792.379 - 811.709 Hari Kondabolu

Let me stop. All right. So if you're watching scary movies alone, are you good with that? Or do you have like 15 stuffed animals around you? No, no. I love scary movies. Yeah. I can watch them alone. I don't need any protection.

0

811.749 - 813.251 Jeff

Oh, my gosh.

0

813.611 - 822.799 Hari Kondabolu

I do like to put the subtitles on so I can kind of know what's happening. Like, it'll tell you beforehand, like, my arm jumped out of the closet. Oh.

0

824.7 - 827.783 Jeff

That's such a good hack. So you never get the jump scare.

0

828.143 - 828.764 Hari Kondabolu

Yeah.

829.184 - 829.745 Jeff

Okay.

830.265 - 860.601 Hari Kondabolu

That's adorable. That's adorable. Hey, do you have any nightmares, though, from any movies you watch? No, not really. Well, I mean, really, real quick story. One time I had a dream that Michael Myers was chasing me through, of all places, Costco. Costco? Yeah. That's scary. Yeah. And I mean, what's crazy, it was very realistic. I remember I was behind the rotisserie chickens.

861.102 - 869.687 Hari Kondabolu

And it was just weird. It was a smell. And it was like, you just had to be there. It was just, it was funny. You had to be in my heart.

869.735 - 888.752 Jeff

Interesting. Okay, if you're just joining us, we're in the middle of a Halloween edition of Blind Love Is, pairing up two of our listeners who've never met before, never seen each other before, to see if a true love connection comes out just in time for Halloween. So I'm sorry, keep going with your conversation. You're doing great there, Brian.

Chapter 7: What funny and spooky stories do the hosts share?

966.904 - 974.774 Hari Kondabolu

I'll keep you as a zombie, but I will keep you tied up in the basement. Whoa.

0

975.375 - 981.602 Jeff

Hey, wait a minute. A contained zombie? That sounds creepy. Okay, so wait, you'll tie me up?

0

981.785 - 992.735 Hari Kondabolu

I mean, while I'm doing laundry, you could be down there, keep me company, have conversations, things like that. Oh, okay. You never know.

0

993.756 - 994.577 Jeff

All right.

0

994.597 - 994.838 Hari Kondabolu

All right.

994.858 - 1014.521 Jeff

Maybe we need to jump in here. What soap should we use? Gain. Yeah, could be kind of useful, actually. I'm coming around on the idea, but that was intriguing. It didn't feel as good, like, as flowy, as chemistry-y. A lot of Brian. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Not a lot of Alicia questions. Maybe real quick, Alicia, do you have any questions for Brian Halloween-wise?

1014.541 - 1016.183 Jeff

Because we didn't really get to hear any from you.

1018.305 - 1031.195 Hari Kondabolu

Um... Well, I enjoyed this Costco story about, you know, me being in his dreams, though. I mean, honestly, no. No questions.

1032.176 - 1035.481 Jeff

She is sold. She likes what she's hearing about Costco.

Chapter 8: How does the episode conclude the Halloween matchmaking experience?

1084.804 - 1091.934 Jeff

She would have to say yes. I know. But we're going to let Brian lead the charge. If you want to do this, go for it, Brian. If you want to pass, that's okay, too.

0

1092.455 - 1102.169 Hari Kondabolu

Because I've never seen her before, I'm just kind of curious. Nikki, is there one Halloween costume that you look most like, looks most like you?

0

1102.89 - 1113.894 Jeff

Oh, interesting. Oh, you're trying to get a visual. Yeah, exactly. I want to get a visual. You can answer that if you want to. This is supposed to be blind love, but he wants a little bit of a peek. You look like Poison Ivy?

0

1114.656 - 1130.884 Hari Kondabolu

I'm going to answer. Maybe like a very shapely... Younger Judge Judy. What? A young one? Wait, actually, I'm really into that.

0

1132.206 - 1139.198 Jeff

Okay. When can we hang out? Did you just say when can we hang out? Yes, we can hang out.

1139.578 - 1142.002 Hari Kondabolu

Okay. All right. I am free tomorrow.

1142.302 - 1153.157 Jeff

I am free tomorrow. All right. Perfect for Halloween. Well, that would be a successful edition, then, of Blind Love Is Halloween Style.

1153.317 - 1155.44 Brooke

Yeah, courtroom adjourned, Jeff.

1155.6 - 1167.566 Jeff

Careful, you're going to turn Brian on too much. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Well, young, voluptuous Judge Judy. That's an image that's going to be hard to get out of my head for a while.
