On this week's ep, Mere & Nikki discuss the social performance of haunted houses, the unintended consequences of themsplaining, and being so uncool with (and accidentally stalking) crushes. Plus, discovering gender and personality through Halloween costumes, fielding "What are you up to?" texts with zero other information, and learning how to—finally!—talk to children.
