Then she discovers her boyfriend making out with another woman at a Hallowe’en party. The cherry on top of her evening is when her rideshare is driven by Henry MacDonald—her childhood friend and secret crush. Dejected and dressed as a goofy anime character was not the look she wanted when she saw Henry again.Henry MacDonald isn’t thrilled to see Sophia either. He’s just quit the indie rock band he spent the last decade with. He’s turning thirty, has zero career prospects, and worst of all—he’s lost the spark that inspired his music. Being her chauffeur won’t impress the most accomplished person he knows—even if she looks like a rain-soaked Pikachu.As a distraction from her disastrous life, Sophia decides to make Henry her next project: helping him find work, a recreational hockey team, and even a girlfriend. The only problem is that Henry prefers the matchmaker to the matches.Show Notes:- Welcome Courtney & Sasha, the co-hosts of SpoopHour.- "When Cocktober comes a-knocking, you go a-cocking."- What is SpoopHour?- Shoutout to FriGay the 13th Podcast- Halloween in the time of Covid (00:08:19)- "Nothing small about his town, and by town, I mean his penis."- Let's talk crystal dildos (00:13:20)- "Can I f*ck that crystal?"- Listen to SpoopHour talk more crystal dildos in their Valentine's Day episode- "The vagina is a cul de sac.
