Wear your waterproof mascera, cause this weeks episode will have you laughing so hard you are crying and then crying so hard you are laughing. You have been warned! :)

We’re diving into all the things we should be grateful for…but absolutely aren’t—and yes, it’s just as unhinged and silly as it sounds. Then Jess introduces Becca to the heart-melting, tear-triggering masterpiece About Time, a movie that will have you crying the warmest, fuzziest tears known to humankind.

Becca then shares a Pinterest gem: “Kids smile at you, animals approach you, strangers tell you their stories—your energy doesn’t lie.” And suddenly we’re spiraling into a whirlwind of sweet, hilarious, and strangely profound memories of strangers oversharing their life stories and leaving us feeling ridiculously cozy.

It’s gratitude, chaos, comfort, and vibes—wrapped up in one episode. Want in? Tune in.

From deflated lawn Santas to movie sequel names that missed the mark — we’re diving into the missed opportunities of the season.

Then we spiral (in the best way) about Dan Levy in Happiest Season — he’s flawless — and how that movie had us all over the place emotionally from start to end.

Jess closes things out with a “boujee on a budget” hack that’ll change your life (spoiler: it involves reusing your Starbucks cup and a little delusion).

This week, we are dressing up as the baddest and boldest Drag Queens in the world, Katya and Trixie Mattel! We’re diving into the real Halloween debate — what age is too old to go trick-or-treating? 🍬 Then, Jess shares a spooky high school story straight out of a show choir nightmare (ghosts apparently love good harmonies 👻).

After that, we’re reading your chilling submissions — from hearing your name whispered in the dark, to TVs flipping to static after grandpa’s passing, to the haunted happenings deep inside Knott’s Berry Farm. You really outdid yourselves, Ghoul Gang 😱

And to close it out, Becca brings us a benefit with the “Nutella theory” — a sweet reminder that you can’t be everyone’s flavor, and that’s exactly what makes you a success. 💫

As we continue to celebrate Halloween, we are all dressed up as Bob’’s Burgers characters! We definitely had fun playing into the quirks of each of Bob and Linda’s cute but eccentric family!

We kick things off by deep-diving into Taylor Swift’s newest album—ranking our favorite tracks, decoding lyrics, and arguing (lovingly) over which song is going to emotionally ruin us for the rest of the year. Swifties, this is your moment.

Then, the chills begin.

Our special guests, Leah McCormick and Allie Reed, join us with stories that might make you sage your entire house. Unfinished business is real, and some visitors don’t knock.

Benefit of the Week: We’re spotlighting Jessica’s friend, Andrea Andersen—romantic fantasy novelist and creator of worlds where love is epic and otherworldly. If you like passion with a touch of magic, her books are your next obsession.

It’s your last call for chills! We’re reminding all our ghoul gang members that October 15, 2025 is the final day to submit your spooky, paranormal, glitch-in-the-matrix, or downright cursed stories to our submission form. Don’t miss your chance to haunt the pod!

From there, we take a nostalgic trip down Halloween lane and rank the most iconic childhood costumes—the ones that made us feel untouchable, glamorous, or downright legendary. You know, that one costume that had you acting like you were signing autographs at recess.

Then, we dive into the movies from our childhood that scarred us for life, even if they weren’t technically horror. Why did that one scene live rent-free in our nightmares for years?

To wrap it up, Jess brings this week’s Benefit—a podcast recommendation you’ll love: Mad Woman in the Attic, a true crime show with witty banter, dark intrigue, and two hosts you’ll want to be best friends with.

Spooks, nostalgia, trauma cinema, and new obsessions… this episode has it all.

This week, Becca channels her inner Elton John while Jess rocks out as Freddie Mercury! The girls also talk about how they went to Disney’s Oogie Boogie Bash. The duo learns the hard way that with every treat trail and trying to run around the park in costume, comes with sore muscles—and maybe age.

Jess dives into the horror hit Talk to Me, leaving Becca completely unhinged and questioning reality itself.

Then Becca brings us back to art and awe with a story from her trip to France—spotlighting the breathtaking statue Nike of Samothrace, also known as the Winged Victory, a marble masterpiece symbolizing triumph and divine energy.

It's got all the spooky vibes you want for Halloween and then a touching piece of art that continues to make everyone swoon.

Becca might go back to school… but only if she never has to suffer through a group project again. Meanwhile, Jess decides it’s time to make a list of the ultimate afterlife questions—everything from the secrets of the universe to the tragic disappearance of her favorite shirt. Then we dive into Coyote Ugly, where Becca cannot deal with a main character who keeps getting shoved on stage for the dream she claims to want. Like girl… is it yes or no? We wrap things up with Becca’s benefit of the week: Aqua dell’Elba Classica, the fragrance you didn’t know your perfume collection was missing.

🐶 Jess is on dog duty this week, and Pico the pup steals the show before Becca drops a hot take: should you always save names in your phone, no matter how often you talk to someone? That spirals into a debate on text habits, unread message counts (how many is too many?!), and the chaos of social media notifications.

🌎 From there, the girls share their very real hatred of earthquakes before Becca shocks Jess with the Netflix doc Sweet Bobby — a rollercoaster she was not ready for (and neither are you).

✨ Jess closes us out with this week’s benefit: a reminder from TikTok about having faith the size of a mustard seed, and why waiting seasons in life can actually be a good thing.
