Speaker 1 (00:13):
Welcome to the Mini Rager, where we rage but just.

Speaker 2 (00:16):
A little bit.

Speaker 3 (00:20):
You love decorations like people. I love decorations. People love
decorations and they don't them, and then you love decorations. Yeah,
I do, like I've genuinely like I just I don't
love them enough to stockpile an entire house worth of

(00:41):
to transform from holiday to holiday. And you do. So
I want to hear about, like the process. Yeah, and
it's like and also I want to know, like, is
there ever a year where we're like I just don't
feel like it.

Speaker 2 (00:58):
No, okay, because we're getting we're getting in there, and
then it's like I have to turn over. I turn
over my entire apartment, all the art, all the bedding,
just everything becomes Halloween, and then it turns to Christmas.
Then it turns like year round. So it's like fun
to switch it around. And I am I'm just me.
I live alone, okay, and I have a little porch

(01:18):
and there's a big inflatable dinosaur with a bunch of
skeletons up there and pumpkins and I like them and
it's cool. It's fun.

Speaker 4 (01:27):
I will tell you that it's whack do wild what
I do.

Speaker 2 (01:31):
I tend to video it because I just go this
is crazy, let's show people. But I went around to
Burbank Halloween. There's a map Halloween Halloween map, right.

Speaker 3 (01:42):
We wanted to go for a hot second. It looked
down at the two small children we have and we're like, oh,
that's not happening.

Speaker 2 (01:51):
You should have just come to my house because I
want to tell you what you want to know. When
I got rage over the decor in the Rige's neighborhood
of Te Luca Lake and also the richest there was
one curb Bank and.

Speaker 1 (02:06):
I am telling you it was sad.

Speaker 2 (02:10):
Listen. There was a few houses that go all out.
I posted it on my Instagram. There's one a out
of Michael Myers and it's like fifteen million decorations.

Speaker 1 (02:17):
It's hardcore.

Speaker 2 (02:18):
But then some of the other houses that I remember
from last year had a lot more in some of them.

Speaker 1 (02:22):
We're talking about. Imagine, if you live on Candy Kate Lane.

Speaker 2 (02:26):
You've got to you've got to bring it up.

Speaker 1 (02:29):
We can't choose.

Speaker 3 (02:30):
You have to have it for Halloween too, because the
name is a little misleading, I.

Speaker 2 (02:35):
Know, but okay, if if you're on if you're on
Candy Corn Line and all the houses are whack. Could
do wild decorated corner Candy Corn. I switch it for
Halloween because you said we have to do all the holidays.

Speaker 1 (02:49):
Oh so these aren't real streets. No, no, god, I'm
calling it that.

Speaker 2 (02:53):
It's just in Burbank into Luca, like really nice neighborhoods
where they have the moolah. Okay, we're living in mansions
here to decorate.

Speaker 1 (03:02):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (03:03):
And their test was parked outside with one of them
had a huge truck that was towing their fun jeep.

Speaker 1 (03:10):
I was just like, wow, these places their Tuesday car. Yeah,
like what?

Speaker 2 (03:14):
And some of them were really nice. Some of them
just had like some lights and us skeletons.

Speaker 1 (03:21):
Some were like it was like a one sad pumpkin.

Speaker 2 (03:25):
Yes, what I have better decorations and what you are
doing and I don't have any money. It's come on,
come on, there's a lot of airca come.

Speaker 3 (03:38):
I have the saddest, most random, small amalgamation of Halloween decorations. Yeah,
and it's still sounding like more than what some of
what you were like, Yes, but like I've got like
one light up grave that's already broken. It's like the
grave is made out of styrofoam and it's broken, but.

Speaker 1 (03:58):
It still lights up.

Speaker 3 (03:59):
I've got like one hand that comes out of the
dirt and like a black cat that like with a
spike that you.

Speaker 1 (04:07):
Put in the ground. We don't have enough dirt for.

Speaker 3 (04:10):
Any of this to go into these I was so
livid at like one house having seventeen mannequins, probably all
done by a set decorator with amazing lights, and like
somebody built a pirate ship with a spooky pirate behind

(04:32):
it and like a waterfall comet, like it's set decover.

Speaker 2 (04:35):
Youre right, it's La La land. There's a bunch of creatives.
They're going wild. And then the neighbor they don't have anything,
they have nothing like and I'm like, are you going
out of your house?

Speaker 3 (04:46):
But maybe okay, but maybe they listen to me, maybe
they're looking. Maybe the neighbors like I don't have to
do anything, No, because you're doing it for the whole block.

Speaker 1 (04:55):
Nope, that's not how it works. That's not how it works.
So if you live on a street, you have got
to rise up. They need to put it in the
hoa rules.

Speaker 3 (05:05):
Then well there's no hoa around there, there's always like
in neighborhoods.

Speaker 1 (05:10):
Really it's common sense.

Speaker 2 (05:12):
If you're next to a house that goes ham on
it and your little area is is darged on a
mat on Instagram that says this is where all the
cool houses are. And then you're just a sad house
and you don't have anything, and you obviously leave in
a mansion and you could hire people to even.

Speaker 1 (05:28):
Get you stuff in like decorate. What are you doing
because it brings us joy? How do we know though?
Like what if they've fallen on hard times.

Speaker 2 (05:38):
Then sell your house, then sell yourself your hell rat
sell your house, Then for go Halloween and Christmas decorations
because you know you're providing joy. Joy is limited, it's fleeting,
just like happiness. It's the same thing, you know what
you could give us just a little bit.

Speaker 3 (05:57):
Just to be clear, these are just people living their life,
but they are responsible to provide joy for all of
these strangers.

Speaker 1 (06:04):
They are Los Angeles.

Speaker 2 (06:05):
Because we're driving around and we're going, oh my god, what.

Speaker 3 (06:08):
If you learn though, and they were donating all this money?

Speaker 1 (06:12):
They're not, But what if you learned that to wear Jake?

Speaker 3 (06:17):
Why does it have to always be saying, Jude, the
wonder your fault?

Speaker 1 (06:23):
Like what if it was you know, does the Animal
Society or Saint Jude all out a slide? I know
we're on health organized. I don't know anybody Like that's fine,
just you just erica, they're done.

Speaker 2 (06:34):
I don't want to hear it, because you're gonna come
in to me with an argument saying they're donating it? Literally,
does I just as sang, you like three hundred dollars
on decor and at least get probably three large items
and some light.

Speaker 5 (06:52):
Note if you have three hundred dollars to spend and
are torn between donating to starving children or getting a
few Halloween decorations to avoid public shaming by this one
unhinged woman in Los Angeles sipping champagne while podcasting, please
make the right choice. Obviously it's the decorations.

Speaker 1 (07:13):
I guess this is what my thing is.

Speaker 3 (07:15):
It's like I get it, but like I want you
to for real answer for real, not just because you
love decorations and you're like, look around, what's going on?
Like do you honestly believe that these people should have
to do this?

Speaker 1 (07:33):
Yeah? I really do. If you are on holiday lane,
or if you're on.

Speaker 3 (07:39):
If it wasn't always that way, like what if it's
it's built up over time. You're like, I didn't sign
up for this, like I'm an Easter person.

Speaker 2 (07:46):
I'm saying, Erica, Erica, you You've got to just what
if they're just people love this kid, fucking husband or
why or spouse and they're like depressed as hell, and
they're like, I don't have an in me to decorate
this year.

Speaker 1 (08:02):
Okay, I'll let that. I'll let that slide. But you
know what, you know what pure grief.

Speaker 2 (08:07):
I'll let it slide for one year, cute grief, because
you know what I'll say to help with that grief,
get decorated, get creative, Start setting out, pumpkin, it happened yesterday.

Speaker 1 (08:18):

all on the decorations and it's gonna go outside.

Speaker 1 (08:54):
My late wife is usual wide over the house and she's.

we make it work.
