As the orange leaves flutter down and the air fills with the heady aroma of pumpkin spice lattes and Ugg boots, we can't help but immerse ourselves in the excitement of October. We'll peel back the layers of Halloween traditions, from the playful spirit of trick-or-treating to the adrenaline rush of haunted mazes. Don't think we've forgotten about those Ouija boards that mysteriously find their way into many a Halloween party. We'll uncover their origin and discuss the dangers lurking behind their innocent façade. And for those brave souls who've dipped their toes into the world of spiritual communication, we'll discuss the precautions often taken to guard against unwelcome encounters. So, buckle up and prepare for a chillingly fantastic ride on this episode of Lower Your Expectations Podcast!

Dare to venture into the deep, unchartered territories of religion, belief systems, and societal norms with us. We're here to shake things up a bit, challenging the conventional thought process and pushing boundaries. Ever wondered why everything from Hollywood blockbusters to children's toys are blamed on the devil? How about the theory that religion was crafted by the powerful as a means of control? Or perhaps you've questioned the concept of salvation being restricted to a specific religion.

Join us as we continue on this thought-provoking journey, breaking down societal expectations surrounding relationships and the concept of marriage. Yes, that age-old institution that began as a business transaction and is now struggling to fit into our dynamic, modern world! We'll take you through the maze of labels in relationships and ask why we can't simply be two individuals in love. As we explore the fine line separating cults from religion, we'll also discuss the importance of understanding and respecting differing beliefs, emphasizing the role of unconditional love and compassion in life. It's time to challenge your beliefs, expand your horizons, and join the conversation!

Ah, U.S. politics, where we're all contestants on "Who Wants to Be a Keyboard Warrior?" Spoiler: No one wins, but we keep playing! Elections are just the season finales where we find out who gets voted off Democracy Island.

And climate change? That's just Earth's way of saying, "I need a spa day, and you're not invited." Hurricanes are the surprise guests that nobody asked for. But don't worry, Mom's advice will save us. You know, the same advice that couldn't even keep your goldfish alive. Good luck, planet!

Who says you need to date someone your own age? Maybe they just can't handle the math! Dive into the wild world of age-gap relationships with us, where we bust myths like piñatas and question why society's so obsessed with birth years.
