It’s been 12 years since I last did a show dedicated to Halloween and so I decided that was enough time to revisit the topic. On this episode I’ll touch on a few of the topics I covered back on episode 144 (from 2015!) and lots of new stuff, from our 12-foot skeleton and which Halloween songs I’m sick of to all the wonderful animatronics and decorations I’ve seen at Home Depot, Lowe’s, and of course, Spirit Halloween. Happy Halloween to all and be safe out there trick-or-treating!

Back in grade school we used to sing this song called “Fifty Nifty United States”. Not only did it help me memorize the names of all fifty states in alphabetical order, but it also made me want to visit all fifty, which I eventually did.

On the next episode we’ll pick up where this episode ends!
