A week late, full of glitches, and somehow… perfect.

We thought no one called for the Halloween episode.Turns out, everyone just called later.

Because we respect your chaos as much as we love your loyalty, we rolled the calls anyway. It’s a week late, full of glitches, and somehow… perfect.

This one’s a gem: we cover everything from The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown to stolen porch pumpkins, golf-cart concussions, and one listener’s emotional support costume. There’s mild existentialism, unexpected tenderness, and a brief debate about the morality of stealing decorative gourds.

Somehow, amid all the noise, we landed on something true: Halloween used to be about imagination. Now it’s mostly about managing expectations—and that might be okay.
