On this week’s episode, we’re recapping Halloween! Colleen and Jon showed up as Tony Soprano and Paulie Walnuts and honestly… iconic. Bridget went trick or treating with the kids before heading out with her college friends, only to discover that today’s youth don’t know, "The Call" by the Backstreet Boys. Should be a crime, honestly.

Then we get into the story of the week, HELEN KELLER. Colleen, our resident denier, stands firm that there’s no way Helen accomplished everything she did, while Bridget sets the record straight. From her early years and her bond with Anne Sullivan to her decades of advocacy and achievement, Helen’s story is nothing short of incredible.
