                  Happy Halloween, kiddos! On this week's episode, Lex and Jules are coming atcha with tangents, and tricks, and treats (oh my!). These two ding dongs are swapping ghost stories, giggles, and (you guessed it) conspiracy theories about alien abductions. They'll cover the ghost of Gladstone Villa, Robert the Doll, a haunting in West Hollywood, and try to figure out if the ghost-witch finally got the best of Fionn.

                            On this week’s episode, Jules and Lex are getting deep in their feelings with their guest Delia Susana.
