Aaron and Sik dive into Halloween memories and costumes (from Freddy Krueger to Pulp Fiction), baseball drama as the Dodgers push to Game 7, and the fallout from a government shutdown threatening SNAP/EBT benefits. They also break down misinformation about food stamps, recent court rulings, and the broader political battles over welfare and economic hardship. Lastly, they explore anti-intellectualism, civic action through Prop 50 and redistricting, reflections from stoic readings, and a closing “not all doom and gloom” segment offering perspective and hope.
