Speaker 1: It is almost Halloween. Today is the twenty ninth, where
Speaker 1: a couple of days away Boo bashes tomorrow night. On Friday,
Speaker 1: you might be able to dress up for work or
Speaker 1: you know, go to your neighborhood block party or whatever.
Speaker 1: But also some people really get into decorating their yards.
Speaker 1: And we got Brenda on the phone. We're just kind
Speaker 1: of chatting about somebody who's Wait, we got your email yesterday,
Speaker 1: but I wanted to talk to you today. There are
Speaker 1: like really cool Halloween decorations. Like my neighbor has like
Speaker 1: a graveyard in their yard. It's kind a fence around
Speaker 1: it with a bunch of skeletons sitting on the graveyards stones, whatever.
Speaker 1: But Brenda, your neighbor went a little over the top
Speaker 1: and you don't like it, and you're not being a Karen.
Speaker 1: I don't think you're being a Karen. I think you're justified.
Speaker 1: Tell me what's going on, Brenda.
Speaker 2: Hey, yeah, we have new neighbors. They moved in over
Speaker 2: the summer, so this is our first Halloween with them.
Speaker 2: They have awful Halloween decorations. It's a Texas chainsaw.
Speaker 3: On that cur theme.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Okay, Yannaquin holding a real chainsaw with a leather mask on.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, okay, all right.
Speaker 2: They also like use a speaker to blast like chainsaw
Speaker 2: sound effect.
Speaker 1: Okay, now that's what we call realism there. That's good.
Speaker 1: So when so is this just you don't know? But
Speaker 1: it's it's going all the time, even though it's not how.
Speaker 4: And it's not Halloween right now, you said that the
Speaker 4: chainsaw is are they running it constantly?
Speaker 2: They put the speaker on at like nine o'clock at night.
Speaker 1: At night, or they take it down at nine o'clock
Speaker 1: at night.
Speaker 3: Oh sorry, they turn it off.
Speaker 1: Okay. I was just thinking, so what time did they
Speaker 1: start running the chainsaw sound effect?
Speaker 2: I mean five or six? It's just going all easier.
Speaker 1: And there's somebody what is the rest of the decor
Speaker 1: in the yard Brenda.
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, So there's like a mannequin of a woman,
Speaker 3: her arms missing and the other body part sorts brawled
Speaker 3: all over the lawn like a bloody arm and leg awful,
Speaker 3: And you can hear on the speaker a woman's screaming
Speaker 3: and running. It's terrifying. I mean it's annoying.
Speaker 5: Well, you got to commend the commitment, Yeah, yeah, you
Speaker 5: have to especially out here. I'm assuming like people I
Speaker 5: hear go crazy because I nooka so close.
Speaker 1: I tell you.
Speaker 5: Over the weekend I went to the house decorating contests
Speaker 5: and some people went in. I don't know about real
Speaker 5: chainsaws and body parts galore.
Speaker 1: But I'm kind of impressed. But at the same time,
Speaker 1: I hear where you're coming from, Brenda. It's like, all right,
Speaker 1: how old are your kids? I mean, you got little kids?
Speaker 1: How old are your kids?
Speaker 2: Yeah? I had three and.
Speaker 3: Six, So thanks you. Scarerhood is this full of kids.
Speaker 1: And so really not really blending with the brand of
Speaker 1: the neighborhood.
Speaker 6: Everyone's got like Mickey Mouse as a pumpkin, and then
Speaker 6: they've got like body parts.
Speaker 1: On the ground pumpkin, like a little witch or like
Speaker 1: the Grinch or not the Grinch, but whatever, kid friendly.
Speaker 1: So what are you asking whether your annoyance is justified?
Speaker 1: Are you asking whether you should go steal the mannequins?
Speaker 1: Are you asking?
Speaker 6: What are you?
Speaker 1: What is your question? Brenda?
Speaker 2: Well, I know it's kind of late now, so I
Speaker 2: probably wouldn't say anything at this point because Halloween's almost over.
Speaker 2: But should I ask them to at least turn the
Speaker 2: speaker off? For brick treating, so it doesn't freak the
Speaker 2: kids out, or oh, I feel like.
Speaker 6: We always have that one you have that like one
Speaker 6: house in the neighborhood that's like too scary to go
Speaker 6: up to. Like in our neighborhood, it was that there
Speaker 6: was a guy that was sitting on a bench next
Speaker 6: to the front door. So if you wanted candy, you'd
Speaker 6: had to walk past this guy who looked like a mannequin.
Speaker 6: But then you go, and so no one went to
Speaker 6: that house.
Speaker 1: When Carson was about four, he was Darth Vader and
Speaker 1: we went to a house just like that. There was
Speaker 1: a guy sitting on the bench acting like he was
Speaker 1: a mannequin, and when you came up, he would jump
Speaker 1: up and scare you. But he saw a little Carson coming.
Speaker 1: He's just a neighborhood daddy. He saw a little Carson
Speaker 1: coming up, and he stood up and he's like, Hi,
Speaker 1: how are you. Oh you're a Darth Vader, And it
Speaker 1: was like good for you.
Speaker 6: Right, But at least with like these decorations, the kids
Speaker 6: can't like they can decide I'm not gonna go, but
Speaker 6: it's not like you can say, oh, I'm just kidding, buddy,
Speaker 6: just kidding. Hey, little Darth Vader. No, you've got body
Speaker 6: parts strewn around the ground. They probably got the best candy.
Speaker 6: You know what I'm gonna tell you. I'm maybe it's
Speaker 6: just me. I love it. I think it's really cool.
Speaker 6: I could just steer your kids around it, be like, Okay,
Speaker 6: we don't like that house.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but you got to figure fourteen year old Brianna
Speaker 1: and her girlfriends they love that house.
Speaker 4: So scar Yeah I got yeah, but by parts. I'd
Speaker 4: be bummed though. If I was like the direct neighbor,
Speaker 4: which I'm assuming you are, and then you don't have
Speaker 4: kids coming up to your house even because they're so
Speaker 4: scared of the house next door.
Speaker 6: Yeah, that would be a bu that's valid.
Speaker 1: I'd be most annoyed at the chainsaw sound effects running
Speaker 1: from five until nine nightly. Hey, Karen, I mean Brenda,
Speaker 1: thanks for being on the show. Happy Halloween, thank you,
Speaker 1: thank you. What do you think I mean? I don't know.
Speaker 1: I would say it's a couple of days out of
Speaker 1: the year, let them do it, let him go crazy.
Speaker 1: What do you thin
