GMMore 558: Halloween Decorations are Stupid

what about pins pins staples sure I could get a hash-table removers this is the best yeti tape yeah i tape dispensers do me everything do it to me I got all I wanted so bad get them no yeah yeah yeah yes right here huh hey yeah here’s a marker it’s it’s scented finger know you like spaghetti um little nasty there how was that right that was fun taping the mouth is that what you’re gonna be for Halloween this year hey bow hey Peter no maybe I’ll be the opposite I’ll put a tape dispenser in my mouth thriller your condition or you could cover your body and tape and make a long tail and you could be a tapeworm oh I knew know what I’m gonna be for Halloween oh don’t tell it I’m not telling it’s cool wheels or bras okay let’s talk about whether or not you should or should not decorate your home slash apartment your home could be a department where’d you live for Halloween and I’m specifically talking about yard decoration so I guess that wouldn’t be an apartment you know you can do whatever you want to somebody will probably but that’s not specifically what I want to add red apartments I want to address the people who really go for it in the front yard there are people who is not about them it’s about everybody else the neighbors there are people who are so obsessed there’s obsessed about Halloween as you were about office supplies that it’s their favorite holiday of the year and so it’s a given that they’re going to decorate everything I don’t really get the it’s my favorite holiday of the year I mean it’s fun there’s I vote I’ve I’ve always been averse to it because there’s a pressure to have a good costume and like I’ve always underachieved and I just felt I’ve always felt like a failure when it comes to Halloween and I think that that’s had an effect on me that I haven’t celebrated Jen you love Halloween right it’s like you have you haven’t you said that it’s your favorite Halloween I mean it’s your favorite holiday Halloween Halloween having is the best Halloween favorite holiday let me say me why is that and do you decorate your house I don’t I’m just because it’s your favorite holiday it’s a given that you were gonna decorate but I have a theory as to why some people say holiday I think I get it I don’t necessarily agree but I get it it’s the only holiday where adults uh dress up in costume right I mean you don’t do that at Christmas or Thanksgiving unless you’re Santa um you could dress up like Santa so it’s an adult dress-up time it’s an everybody dress-up time okay here is a little subversive right so the origins of Halloween are a little more subversive so if you’re in it something like where there might be some sort of like another connotation to other holidays that people don’t aren’t comfortable with but they’re like oh I like the subversive holiday pagan yeah so I can kind of I kind of understand that and people who are kind of into like sort of spooky dark things as opposed to super festive and warm thing it’s kind of an anti holiday if you said if that’s your personality if that’s the kind of thing you’re into I get it you know is that do you support his theory she loves all holidays so but not equal she’s an exception because you’re there’s a darkness yeah in you yeah creepiness is if you’re into that then this is definitely your only opportunity to exhibit that if you want to do creepy Christmas then you’re gonna be who are you – you know what I mean you know but specifically the people who have made the decision to invest a lot of time and a lot of money into their yards that’s a phenomenon that I think is a lot more common in California that is in in North Carolina again I think in North Carolina it’s in the Bible Belt people people that got a little there’s a little they don’t know what to think about Halloween so but out here people in three houses down from me the dude James the first year we do gene we moved here and we moved into we moved into our house in September so the very next month was Halloween and I halfway through October like the beginning of October I might see like a gravestone in his front yard I’m like what did he kill somebody no it was fake it was plastic it was a Halloween decoration and slowly over that month I got to know him and talk to him and he’s got things that move around and light show and he’s got things that animatronic and then he’s got things like when you go up to his house on Halloween he’s got a remote-control car that has like a spider on top of it so it looks like a spiders coming after the kids and stuff and he’s like in the back like her doing it and then his mom and dad come to me you’re gonna sit off that car on the porch and they give away full-size candy bars oh yeah full-size candy bars even king-size I don’t know about that but they give like a full-size Snickers they’re not they’re not what what haven’t you didn’t say king-size I’m in a real like a full-size full-size not a fun size but if nothi you not a king without a waistline size well that’s pretty sighs that’s weird is over the top that anyway distasteful I have an opinion about this mentality and it is I like the fact that it exists with others in other words I look forward to benefiting from James front yard and Halloween experience but you don’t want to be James but I don’t want to be James okay we don’t underst the first time he met me he says oh we got a real big we got a real big celebration that we do on Halloween we do the yard up and put signs up and it sure enough on Halloween there were signs from like blocks out that directed you to his experience oh wow and then you go to it and I’m kind of like I’m glad that you did this don’t quite understand why you did and it’s not as cool as you think is that that was what I was thinking I was What did he say when he said I didn’t tell him that good I don’t think he watches a good mythical morning but uh I was like it’s pretty cool but it doesn’t seem like it was worth the effort but you know what I’m glad you did it because I’m benefiting from it so keep doing it in fact well I’ve grown so accustomed to it that my wife this year so saw him out there and we noticed cuz you know it’s getting it’s getting on his past mid-october and we haven’t he hasn’t done I haven’t seen anything in the front yard and Jessie saw me other day she’s like James so uh you gonna do the Halloween thing again he was like ah yeah I guess I I guess I better get on that it was like you had a stroke or something what do you mean you started six weeks early last year I think something I need to talk to him hmm I gotta go I gotta go have a little session with or you could be like the one house in my neighborhood that leaves there’s up all year round they have a black wrought iron fence and the top of the fence instead of having like a pointy thing has black skulls and then they leave those up year round I think there’s just a witch home like literally I think they might be Wiccan or something because they have like black skull wrought iron fence and then some other Halloween decorations like permanent pumpkins permanet pumpkins I mean to each his own out there but uh I walk pass out that house a little faster than the other ones uh when going to the park except for trick-or-treating I walk right up to the door and I say Trick or Treat gonna give what kind of bars they give King sighs no I can’t remember cat entrails black cat entrails Twizzlers what do you think about you know what this is the last thing what do you think about people who don’t participate and give out candy on Halloween because I would assume that you’ve fallen into that category a few years you know and I’ll admit that I have fun no no well if you’re gonna trick-or-treat you got you gotta if you’re gonna take you gotta get oh yes your philosophy you always give if you take wait well yeah I mean I’m not gonna go out and take people’s candy and not participate I live in a cul-de-sac though so not a lot of people venture down that little part but weep we’re out so there’s no one at my house but we put out a thing of candy and we put out a note that might as well not have anything written on it which says please take one did you do oh you’re one well I take advantage of those houses yes as a child that’s what the knapsack was for oh yeah like that will leave put off the side go a few houses down and then I’ll be like I forgot something I go back and all the candies go yeah I like to note no one’s even trick-or-treating in my neighborhood yet it’s just like just by virtue of putting a sign there like the the the Halloween ghouls they will I’m going to teach you a lesson is gone all of its go I’ve always interpreted that sign is take one at a time please take one and then another and then another and then another one that was another one if you said please take one per person only only in perpetuity you do that this year it’s you happens you
