Halloween!

Dave’s heel arc against Halloween is officially over! This about-face comes as a convenient way to get rid of all the candy patients bring into his practice, and for his kids to hand it out rather than gobble it up. Dr. Stu also recommends the best movies to watch with kids, like Scooby-Doo, The Simpsons’ “Treehouse of Horror” episodes, and the TV version of Ghostbusters... way too much Ghostbusters...

They also discuss the prospects for the Blue Jays, people who pose as avid readers, and introducing your daughter to Ben 10.
