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 mass
Speaker 2: a curseme. Yeah, Okay, Yannakin holding a real chainsaw with
Speaker 2: 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 so is this just you don't know? But it's
Speaker 1: it's going all the time, even though it's not how.
Speaker 3: And it's not Halloween right now, you said that the
Speaker 3: chainsaw is are they running it constantly?
Speaker 2: They put the speaker on at like nine o'clock at night,
Speaker 2: they put at.
Speaker 1: Night, or they take it down at nine o'clock at night.
Speaker 2: 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's screen. What is the rest of the
Speaker 1: decor in the yard, Brenda, Yeah.
Speaker 2: Okay, So there's like a mannequin of a woman her
Speaker 2: arms missing and their body part sorts brawled all over
Speaker 2: the lawn like a bloody arm and leg awful, and
Speaker 2: you can hear on the speaker a woman's screaming and running.
Speaker 2: It's terrifying.
Speaker 4: I mean, it's annoying. Well, you got to commend the commitment. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 4: you have to especially out here. I'm assuming like people
Speaker 4: I hear go crazy because I nooka so close. I
Speaker 4: tell you. Over the weekend I went to the the
Speaker 4: house decorating contests and some people went in. I don't
Speaker 4: know about real chainsaws and body parts galore, but I'm
Speaker 4: kind of impressed. But at the same time, I hear
Speaker 4: where you're coming from, Brenda. It's like, all right, how
Speaker 4: old are your kids? I mean you got little kids?
Speaker 4: How old are your kids?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: I had three and six, So thank your skarhood is
Speaker 2: this full of kids.
Speaker 1: And so really not really blending with the brand of
Speaker 1: the neighborhood.
Speaker 3: Everyone's got like Mickey Mouse as a pumpkin, and then
Speaker 3: they've got like body parts on the.
Speaker 1: Ground pumpkin, like a little witch or like the Grinch
Speaker 1: or not the Grinch, but whatever, kid friendly. So what
Speaker 1: are you asking whether your annoyance is justified? Are you
Speaker 1: asking whether you should go steal the mannequins? Are you asking?
Speaker 1: What are you 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.
Speaker 3: Or oh, I feel like we always have that one
Speaker 3: you have that like one house in the neighborhood that's
Speaker 3: like too scary to go up to. Like in our neighborhood,
Speaker 3: it was that there was a guy that was sitting
Speaker 3: on a bench next to the front door, so if
Speaker 3: you wanted candy, you'd had to walk past this guy
Speaker 3: who looked like a mannequin. But then he goes and
Speaker 3: so no one went to 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 dad. 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 3: Right, But at least with like these decorations, the kids
Speaker 3: can't like they can decide I'm not gonna go, but
Speaker 3: it's not like you can say, oh, I'm just kidding, buddy,
Speaker 3: just kidding. Hey, little Darth Vader. No, you've got body
Speaker 3: parts strewn around the ground. They probably got the best candy.
Speaker 3: You know what I'm gonna tell you. I'm maybe it's
Speaker 3: just me.
Speaker 4: I love it.
Speaker 1: I think it's really cool. I could just steer your
Speaker 1: kids around it, be like, Okay, we don't like that house. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but you got to figure fourteen year old Brianna and
Speaker 1: her girlfriends. They love that house, so scar Yeah, I.
Speaker 3: Got yeah, but by parts.
Speaker 1: I'd be bummed though. If I was like the direct neighbor,
Speaker 1: which I'm assuming you are, and then you don't have
Speaker 1: kids coming up to.
Speaker 3: Your house even because they're so scared of the house
Speaker 3: next door. Yeah, that would be a bummer. It'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 4: What do you
