Happy Halloween, Ghouls and Goblins! This year, we wanted to talk about something truly horrifying. Something utterly bone-chilling. A topic even more horrific than Halloween III: Season of the Witch, which is admittedly a tall order. What is this eerie and macabre subject, you ask? U.S. Electoral Politics, of course! If you want our predictions, you'll have to listen to 40+ minutes of hot takes, so buckle up.

This week we sat down to discuss the unveiling of Elon's super cool bartender robots, tipping culture in American restaurants and local ballot questions in that same vein, the potential debunking of the 'Blue Zone' theory, and the U.S. Government's bungling of Hurricane aid following a brutal storm season in the Southeast.

Dear initiates, come with us on a journey back to the fog-shrouded island of Britannia as we re-enter the landscape of the ancient mysteries on this exotic land at the edge of the Roman Empire. We will take a look at the different forms of worship in the towns and countryside of Britannia after the coming of the Romans, and then we will look at their cosmology. Finally, we will get into the weirder side of rituals and curses, and then take a look at the symbology of these cults.
