Gee Thanks, Just Bought It!

Ep 157: Spooky Mingos, 12' Skeletons, and Family Costumes!


Listen Later

Which Gee Thanks! guest co-host penned the controversial argument, “Against Trick-or-Treating” in the 90s? If you guessed Sally Tamarkin, you’re right! We dive deep into Halloween: the costumes we bought, the candy we counted, and what made a neighborhood trick-or-treatable (PS. our opinions were not always correct). Plus, what we think of Halloween as adults and what Caroline thinks Sally should do with the essay.

 

Also, did your high school have a Halloween parade? Caroline’s did. Do you listen to this episode and think, wow these people have lost the joy?

 

Plus, spooky mingo decor and the booming 12 foot skeleton trend taking over Los Angeles and maybe your neck of the woods, too?
