The Halloween Costume Fail2:32 – 6:15

Georgia HardstarkHost

2:32

The subject line is most epic Halloween fail ever.

Georgia HardstarkHost

2:34

It says, hello, MFM team.

Georgia HardstarkHost

2:36

Hope you are well.

Georgia HardstarkHost

2:38

Happy spooky season.

Georgia HardstarkHost

2:39

Pumpkin emoji, which I realize is my favorite emoji now.

Georgia HardstarkHost

2:43

Ah, cute.

Georgia HardstarkHost

2:44

It's just so good.

Georgia HardstarkHost

2:45

It is.

Georgia HardstarkHost

2:45

Perfectly designed.

Georgia HardstarkHost

2:46

Do I have a great Halloween horror story for you? I moved to Paris a couple years ago and got a job as an events manager in a French company.

Georgia HardstarkHost

2:55

It was coming up on Halloween, so I decided to organize a party.

Georgia HardstarkHost

2:59

Now, I did not realize that the French do not take

Karen KilgariffHost

3:01

Halloween seriously.

Karen KilgariffHost

3:03

That's true.

Karen KilgariffHost

3:03

One of my friends who's French, super French, Melissa, loves coming to give out candy at our house for kids because they don't do it there at all.

Karen KilgariffHost

3:11

It's the most

Georgia HardstarkHost

3:13

non-French thing in the world.

Georgia HardstarkHost

3:14

Yeah, she loves it.

Georgia HardstarkHost

3:15

Yeah.

Georgia HardstarkHost

3:16

In the parentheses, it says, I'm Irish, so we've always gotten into it.

Georgia HardstarkHost

3:20

That's right.

Georgia HardstarkHost

3:21

I think the Irish are the first.

Georgia HardstarkHost

3:24

Right.

Georgia HardstarkHost

3:24

What is it called? The first jack-o'-lantern.

Georgia HardstarkHost

3:27

The Irish just carved a face into a turnip, which makes it look like the eyes and mouth are bleeding.
