They're All Gonna Laugh at You, Foo

Halloween is supposed to be about costumes, candy, and a little bit of being scared. But what happens when you grow up being told that Halloween itself is something to be afraid of? Jolanda, Anthony, and I get together for a Halloween special. We start with a little history of the holiday, from All Hallows' Eve and Samhain to turnips, pumpkins, and candy corn. Then we do what we usually do and let the conversation take us wherever it wants to go. We share some of our favorite Halloween memories and costumes, including a pregnant Superman, a melting candle costume, and a gorilla costume story that really should have stayed in the closet. I also talk about growing up with a father who was a minister and the church videos we watched warning us about Satanism, missing children, and the dangers of Halloween. Looking back, some of those messages were pretty wild. We talk about Halloween traditions, trick-or-treating, childhood memories, ridiculous costumes, candy, religion, fear, and a few stories that are definitely not suitable for a Halloween safety presentation. Somewhere between the laughs, there's a bigger conversation about the things we're taught as kids, the things we believe, and what happens when we start questioning them. And yes, we even get into a few stories that are scary for completely different reasons. A little favor before you go: Our friend and former guest Jeremy Givens is competing for Top Host.
