The laughs continue as they reveal their top five most problematic Halloween costumes of 2026 [18:17], including Jeffrey Epstein, Charlie Kirk-inspired costumes, blackface, Diddy in jail with baby oil, and ICE agents [23:09], before debating which costume crosses the line the most [23:54] and why certain politically charged costumes are simply unacceptable.
