October 28, 2025 • 50 mins
From a Roomba disaster to a chewed-up pair of headphones, our “no-plan” Halloween episode spirals into pure chaos—in the best way. We kick things off with procrastination quotes, dive into a candy confessional (Reese’s reigns supreme), and battle over the great Tootsie Roll divide. Then it’s rapid-fire trivia: Samhain’s Celtic roots, why turnips came before pumpkins, and the truth about black cats and trick-or-treating.
We chase scares through pop culture—from Thriller to The Strangers—and debunk the poisoned-candy myth. The real chills come with a true story about losing sight of a child on Halloween night and what it reminds us about love and fear.
Hit play for laughs, lore, and horror talk that lingers long after spooky season fades.
