Welcome to the Reason Round Table, the weekly libertarian podcast from the magazine with

a longer shelf life than Mike Pence's presidential campaign.

I am Matt Welch, joined by Nick Gillespie, Peter Suderman, and Katherine Mangu Ward.

Happy Halloween Eve, Goolees.

Halloween, howdy.

Hi, Matt.

Happy Monday.

Katherine, quick vote on who has had the best reason costume this season.

We had our Halloween party at the office last week.

We did give official prizes, but we did not allow participation trophies, if we may.

Now there was a real prize, it was a little guess certificate, but we didn't let reason

staffers compete for obvious reasons.

Our director development Jackie was dressed as a very specific 80s toy, which was the bust

of a Barbie doll, like just the head and shoulders of a Barbie doll, whose hair you could style.

And it came with like makeup and curlers.

I had this toy, everyone had this toy, if you were my age, every woman of my age with

this party was like, and everyone else was like, what are you?

What's happening right now?

So that to me is always the perfect costume.

You want to have insiders and outsiders on the costume, Barbie hair style head for the

win.

Way to go Jackie.
