The sisters are joined by a VERY special guest this week, Hank Green!

It's that ~spooky~ time of year again, and our sisters want to talk about one of the spookiest experiences of the teen and adult Halloween experience: haunted houses!

Rileigh has been obsessed with Shane Dawson's recent Youtube documentary series, and Sydnee is very confused by that idea, so we're going full documentary nerd!

We're sorry we missed our episode last week! All three sisters were on island time, and podcasting can get tricky when you're on an actual island.

Whether they were at your house, a friend's, or (worse of all) a significant other's, there have always been difficulties with them all...
