    Happy Halloween from Need Not Apply` the only workplace podcast where HR would definitely call an exorcist. This week, Gina shows up as your favorite corporate trope the Energy Vampire and Gary clocks in as your Boss from Hell. Together, we’re serving chaotic Halloween energy, questionable fangs, and some truly cursed work stories.Between recording after an emergency vet run (send love to our boy Samson 🐾❤️), last-minute costumes, and a whole lot of weird energy, this episode has everything: spooky stories, strange science, and the reminder that the scariest place of all might still be… your job.🕯️ Inside the episode:👻 Creepy coworkers & haunted workplaces — eerie sightings, weird night-shift encounters, and those stories that make you keep the lights on while closing.🧟 When customers cross the line — a retail shift turns spine-tingling when “Can you help me?” becomes “Are you alone?”🪦 The ghost who didn’t clock out — a workplace visit from someone who shouldn’t still be on payroll.🕳️ Graveyard security gone wrong — late-night laughter, empty roads, and one sound that should not exist.💼 Maniac at the Gate — they're coming...Then it’s our spooky-news lightning round:🌕 NASA says Earth now has two moons — but only until 2083.🧀 The U.S. is secretly hoarding millions of pounds of cheese underground (yes, really).💻 Microsoft Teams turns tattletale with a Wi-Fi location tracker.⚡ New Jersey wants data centers to finally pay their share of the power bill.💎 The Louvre jewel heist suspects are caught, but the gems are still missing…And of course, we couldn’t end Halloween without some delightfully unhinged detours:🚽 The science of a perfect poop — why it feels better than it should.🍑 Breathing through your buns?! — the legit medical study that proves you can (sort of).🧠 AI brain rot — what happens when artificial intelligence gets fed junk content all day.It’s creepy, clever, and completely chaotic... just the way we like it.
