So There's This Curse... w/ Nick Garros

BOO! It's time for another binchtacular Halloween episode! Join Julia and Nick in costume as they explore humanity's pettiest tradition: CURSES! From blighted crops and ancient binding spells to Etsy witches who can hex your ex, they unpack the storied history of transforming rage into ritual — while cackling hysterically along the way. Digressions include sad crab facts, the burden of being bald, and a Halloween abortion story with a happy ending. This episode was produced by Julia Hava and Kylie Finnigan and edited by Livi Burdette.
