Summary

Written by a model from the transcript; not yet reviewed.

This Halloween-themed episode features guest Sarah Sherman appearing as "Sarah Normal," joking about wearing a Juicy tracksuit, push-up bra, and blonde wig to achieve a conventional aesthetic. Host Stavros Halkias, Eldis, and Sherman discuss classic horror movie monsters, movie crushes like Keanu Reeves in Dracula, and Sherman's chaotic experience performing at the Gathering of the Juggalos in Missouri alongside Sandy Honig. Later in the episode, the hosts take listener voicemails on the Visible hotline, advising a listener whose co-owner is posting political rants on a haunted house Instagram account and another listener struggling with whether a 17-year-old should still go trick-or-treating.

  • Address business account boundaries immediately if a co-owner is using the brand's social media for personal political rants. 1:12:40
  • Accept that trick-or-treating days are over at age seventeen and channel that energy into hanging out with friends. 1:48:37
