Join Scott and Diana this week as they go from White House ghost stories to the very questionable history of JFK’s “secret tunnels,” this conversation goes delightfully off the rails. Spooky season, strange history, and a lot of “wait, is that actually true?”

They also get into heavier topics, including a botched execution, the cost of the death penalty, prison reform, and the everyday pressures of rising prices. It’s an episode full of weird history, sharp opinions, jokes, and tangents that go places you probably didn’t expect.
