Everyone knows that straight people have gone as the Joker and Harley Quinn for Halloween ever since biblical times, but has anyone ever stopped to ask why? Of course not. They're too busy looking at their phones. Well, that ends today as we are joined by Danny Pellegrino, author of "The Jolliest Bunch," to finally wake up and ask the tough questions. Questions like, why do we as a culture make it so hard to read articles? Can gay people dress up in a costume that more than four people recognize? And of course, is there a political affiliation associated with being "The Joker?" So grab some makeup from Haus Labs, smear it any which way, and get jokerfied via gay podcasting.
