Hot Takes & Hocus Pocus: The Halloween Episode

from This Is Why We Can't Have A Podcast! · host Jen & Ashten

This week, we’re knee-deep in Halloween nostalgia, debating the Great Trunk-or-Treat Crisis of Modern Parenting™, and asking the important questions… like why are we all dressing our toddlers as pumpkins when we KNOW they’re feral raccoons at heart?We’re talking:• The glory days of running wild in the dark with a pillowcase full of sugar• Why Trunk-or-Treat feels like Halloween with training wheels• The costumes our parents should’ve gone to jail for letting us wear• And yes… we let ChatGPT choose our group costume (hint: Sanderson Sisters chaotic energy was FOUND.)Nostalgia. Humor. A tiny existential crisis about whether we’re making “core memories” or just buying $38 costumes our kids refuse to wear.You know. Seasonal content.🕯️ If Halloween makes you emotional about childhood and also slightly judge-y about modern parenting… this one’s for you. 🕯️
