The Out-of-Touch Unks Episode

In this Halloween special episode of The Middle Class Souls, hosts Murr and Wes lean fully into their status as "out-of-touch unks" after getting roasted on Instagram for mocking gamers who plan to take PTO for the long-awaited release of GTA VI. The duo dives into a wide-ranging, comical, and nostalgic tangent-filled discussion that covers the realities of modern vacation days, awkward neighborhood dog-walking etiquette, and whether Halloween should officially be a national holiday. Along the way, they explore global death traditions (from Mexican altars to painted Bolivian skulls), debate the absurdity of "canceling" Freddy Krueger, wrap up a historic World Series victory for the Milwaukee Brewers, and pay a heartfelt tribute to the late, legendary Sir Patrick Stewart.
