S2E17 - Gabby Goose Halloween Debrief

Halloween isn’t just candy and costumes, it’s one of the last places where strangers still agree to be kind for no reason. We’re back after a couple weeks off, and we kick things off with the kind of trick-or-treating recap that turns into a full-on snapshot of family life: Jurassic Park costumes, kids who refuse to take the costume off, and that proud little moment when they spin around to show you what they earned at every door. From there, we get into the real state of Halloween traditions in 2026. Why did some neighborhoods feel packed while others felt quiet? We talk candy inflation, fun-size shrinkflation, and how fewer houses participating changes the whole vibe. We also plant our flag on something we actually care about: teenagers trick-or-treating is good, actually. Let them keep their whimsy, be respectful, and take the candy. Then we do what we do best and follow the thread into everything else: a weirdly perfect “candy or potato” house, adult treats on the route, a Halloween concert shoutout with a Dungeon Crawler Carl spotting, and a “No-Vember” tangent that turns into a surprisingly deep Jim Carrey conversation about priorities and learning to say no. We even take a quick detour into My Cousin Vinny, Joe Pesci, and a Marvel what-if that should not work but absolutely does.
