🎃 Just Between Us Ghouls — Season 2, Episode 3
“Laundry, Languages, and the Lost Episode”
This week, Joe and Lauri are running on fumes but still manage to cackle their way through chaos, coffee, and controversy. Between packing boxes, dodging scam calls, and fighting L.A. traffic, the ghouls catch up on everything from union meetings to moving day madness.
But don’t let the domestic chores fool you—things get deep. The pair revisit the aftermath of the “Evan situation,” unpacking how a simple podcast bit spiraled into a moral debate about context, comedy, and accountability. It’s a raw, unfiltered conversation that’s equal parts thoughtful and exasperated.
Along the way, Joe confesses to attending a sensory-friendly screening of Bride of Frankenstein, where the crowd’s etiquette was more terrifying than the monster. Lauri brings classroom insights about teaching sign language to nonverbal students, and the two go off on a hilariously tense tangent about language, culture, and what counts as “dangerous territory.”
By the end, the episode becomes part confession, part catharsis, and all ghoulishly real.
Joe’s long trek home turns into a full-on rant about L.A. traffic.
A quick “Diego, mark this” becomes a full laundry saga.
The long-awaited follow-up to the “Evan text.”
Philosophical detours into irony, intent, and why some jokes don’t land.
Lauri’s hot takes on group therapy, teaching, and her new apartment.
Joe’s screening of Bride of Frankenstein… at a sensory-friendly event.
An impromptu debate about sign language, dialects, and “universal” communication.
Lauri’s breaking point: “He spelled my name with an E at the end—I’m done!”
Between editing confessions, emotional reckonings, and tales from the moving trenches, this episode proves that sometimes the scariest monsters are human miscommunications. Joe and Lauri balance self-reflection with their trademark banter, delivering a candid, funny, and surprisingly vulnerable hour of podcasting.
