  • E11: Halloween Pt. 1
    Oct 10 2022

    We're talking about Halloween ya'll! We hope you enjoy the sound of crickets and air conditioner because Raven forgot to close her window. You can also hear her neighbor walking around upstairs for extra haunted house vibes. Legend has it, he's still walking around up there. We also want to make a correction, Guy Fawkes Day is still celebrated in the UK, but not in the US.
