    #9 Belly Bites: Jack O'Lanterns - The Story of Stingy Jack

    In this Belly Laughs from Fun Facts episode, we’re carving into the weird, wacky origins of everyone’s favorite Halloween decoration — the jack-o’-lantern!  Ever wonder why we light up pumpkins with creepy grins instead of, say, turnips or potatoes? (Yes, really.) Becky and Jeff dig into how a centuries-old Irish legend sparked one of Halloween’s most glowing traditions. From fiery folklore to pumpkin pandemonium, this episode is full of laughs, surprises, and the kind of trivia that’ll make you the life of any Halloween party. Then comes the star of our spooky story — Stingy Jack. The sly trickster who outsmarted the Devil himself! But his cleverness came at a cost, leaving him doomed to wander the earth with nothing but a burning coal inside a hollowed-out turnip. We trace Jack’s journey from Irish myth to modern pumpkin patch icon, all while cracking jokes that are anything but hollow. So grab your favorite gourd and tune in — because this tale of tricks, lanterns, and laughter is too good to squash.
