In this mid-season members-only installment, Pete and Tommy trade Halloween stories, debate the ethics of haunted-house waivers, revisit emotionally scarring escape-room adventures, and brainstorm how a man in his 50s should celebrate his birthday (spoiler: laser tag turns him into a war criminal). There’s also pirate television, Dan Brown shade, and the ongoing mystery of why holiday pine-cone scent exists at all.

They wrap with early scheming for next month’s holiday-food-themed Feeling Friends special, plus a reminder to hold onto as much patience and generosity as you can during the emotionally bonkers weeks ahead.
