Father-Daughter Halloween Costumes

Matt Bragg talks with caller Mike about father-daughter Halloween costume pairings, the economics of trick-or-treating candy, and the surprisingly spooky history of turnip jack-o'-lanterns. What You'll Hear: A Very Expensive Feather: Matt kicks things off with a frantic vet trip, a questionable hairball, and a bill steep enough to rival a nice dinner out. Eevee, Ash, and the Art of the Pairing: Mike shares how he and his seven-year-old daughter plan their matching Halloween costumes months in advance, from Wolverine and X-23 to a very cozy Pokémon duo. The Original, Unsettling Jack-o'-Lantern: Before pumpkins took over, people carved something far creepier, and Matt can't quite get over it.
