The Backstory: Ghosts in the White House

A caller confessed to getting suspended for cursing at work, another admitted she can’t stand her husband’s friend, and someone missed a family grad party for the most relatable reason ever. We debated living in a murder house, exposed the lies we were told as kids, and tried (and failed) to make scary Halloween noises. Plus, Nate had some questionable “as your friend” advice, and we discovered exactly how New Yorkers really say things.
