It’s equal parts creepy, cozy, and cathartic in this week’s episode of This Is Why We Can’t Have a Podcast. 🕷️💀 From Halloween spider superstitions (are they ghosts or just bad roommates?) to the chaos of No-Spend November and the emotional landmines of anniversaries and memories — Ashten and Jen tackle it all with their signature mix of humor, honesty, and unfiltered bestie banter.
Along the way, a seemingly innocent burning questions game spirals into heartfelt confessions about love, loss, and what it really means to keep going when grief sneaks up in unexpected ways. Whether you’re here for the spooky facts, the sentimental chaos, or just the comfort of two friends laughing through life’s messiest moments — this one’s for you.
