From a Roomba disaster to a chewed-up pair of headphones, our “no-plan” Halloween episode spirals into pure chaos—in the best way. We kick things off with procrastination quotes, dive into a candy confessional (Reese’s reigns supreme), and battle over the great Tootsie Roll divide. Then it’s rapid-fire trivia: Samhain’s Celtic roots, why turnips came before pumpkins, and the truth about black cats and trick-or-treating.

92-We Came for Chick-fil-A, Stayed for Star Wars
Two sisters time-travel through 1977 using a playful “family journal,” tracing Roots, Star Wars, the NYC blackout, and the Apple II, while weaving in jokes, side tangents, and a tender “late entry” birth story. We close on why personal stories make history stick and a groovy sign-off that invites listeners to share their own. • Roots as national reckoning on TV • Super Bowl XI and Carter’s inauguration • Blizzard of ’77 and community strain • Queen’s anthems, disco style, punk rise • Apple I...

We rewind to 1979 and trace the wild mix of culture, politics, and technology that shaped how we live now, from Walkman freedom and disco backlash to international crises, feminist art, and hard lessons in safety and law. We keep it candid, curious, and a little chaotic, because the year was too. • TV nostalgia and the CB radio boom • Early school shooting and the Monday quote • Ayatollah’s return and the Iran hostage crisis • Punk mythology, Sid Vicious, and costs of image • Tracking Nazis ...
