governor has put
in place is that correct uh i was not currently i'm not but i was yes currently
i'm not though
okay i understand that where what's your point of view on this i think it's
kind of interesting i've
haven't i've because of the new call-in system we haven't been able to talk to
sort of the other
side quote-unquote where are you coming from i mean what you don't trust do you
believe that there's a
danger with the the virus out there like what's your what's your pitch on why
things should go back
to normal so quickly well well certainly things are definitely getting blown
out of proportion
and there is there is things that that people need and people want or people
will want like what like
what like what like what well there's all sorts of stuff for different people
different people like
easy okay calm down tim just like what name one name one thing personally or
just widely personally for
me i enjoy uh uh to be prepared for something things that are important to me
okay like what like what
like uh uh like you know birthdays or you know holidays or special like a
special holiday that's
important to me one that's uh not everyone's favorite because there's no gifts
god forbid yeah
but which one you felt so let me ask you what like so you felt passionate
enough to go out there and you
were you were protesting in front of the capital like why can't you just chill
out and uh let this
thing pass
i'm worried if i let this thing pass my life you know i'm gonna i'm gonna miss
out on some of my
favorite times of the year the scariest the scary seasons the seasons that are
the seasons where the
smells change you know what i'm saying the fall you're talking about autumn
like are you talking about are you
worried about uh missing out on halloween is that what i'm getting i'm very
worried about it yes very
worried about it okay i'm worried about not being prepared i do i do a massive
massive haunted house
out in front of my home and if and if and if it's not if it's not yeah exactly
yeah so you're worried
you're this is uh kind of quite personal for you you're looking ahead to the
end of october worried
that your halloween haunted house is going to get cancelled because of what's
going on right now
well not cancel i have enough stuff now to do it but uh not on the level that i
want what what now
can i ask uh what happens in that haunted house like what do you got in there
bowls and noodles that are guts that you close your eyes and they're guts well
you must be able to
find bowls of noodles well you can't you can't what about this what about just
sort of like taking
one for the team and having a little like the concept of sacrifice and the
concept of like maybe just chill
on this you know hopefully by this by you know september the restrictions can
be lifted a little
bit so you can focus on it just seems like you're jumping the gun on this
getting all upset about that's
what i'm saying but this is when i start this is the exact time when i start
and this is completely effing
me i'm gonna be so behind by the time i i'm not getting the jump i'm not
getting the jump on this and
there's about 10 other guys i fight with uh to get for supplies what on halloween
on your haunted house
supplies there's about 10 other guys that like it as much as i do and we're
fighting about supplies
did you have six months wait yeah dude it's fucking not even may and you're
already starting to get
your supplies in for your haunted house this is when they start putting out the
bargain bin stuff
into stuff that'll just fly off the shelf okay calm down calm down so all right
so whatever you just
fucking roll with it and maybe you pay a little extra for or you just scale
down your haunted house man
first of all b is not an option i ain't scaling down crap people look forward
to this and the smiles
and the scares on people's faces are what keep me going throughout the year i'll
die you'll die that's it
you'll die period if you don't do your haunted house i don't get if i don't get
to see the faces i will
die yes oh my god are you doing anything right now to protect yourself like i
mean because you
were out protesting like are you wearing you know prevented masks and all that
kind of stuff or
yeah i am wearing a wolf mask just because i enjoy it so you have a wolf mask
okay so but the
mouth is open the mouth's open well i have a question like great ass i have a
question so
this is don't you have stuff from last year like what do you do with all your
halloween supplies from
last year i mean i have i have a lot of stuff but once it's used in the haunted
house it's now personal
use okay i don't i don't understand so they can't be used in the haunted so you
so you do a haunted house every year and everything that's used in that haunted
house be uh is sort of discontinued after that okay well not discontinued it
becomes personal use for me
no so i'm just trying to paint a picture here you've got like cobwebs and scary
skeletons and stuff
that you use and then that once it's used once it's used it gets then put into
a box and it can only be
used for personal use right exactly and there is days that i'll pop around in
the basement and i'll open the
boxes and have memories or take it out there's there's stuff in there i forget
how scary it is
and and it's just nice to see then it becomes personal use and that is to be
honest with you
that is a benefit for me so how many years i'm just trying how many years have
you been doing this haunted
house i've all this is going to just be my second year okay oh so so you have
one you have one year
supply you have one year supply in your basement of haunted house materials
that are now have now been
discontinued and can only be used for personal use exactly yes some bone this
year yeah well i mean let
me just i have a question no i just okay i have a suggestion then you can ask
the question mine's a
suggestion too it could be the same thing why don't you just uh waive your
personal use rule that you've
created and reuse last year's halloween crap i mean you know what i mean that
would kill me
i would die you would die i can't do that that's not personal use i put that
out there people start
walking through it's i've seen this i've seen this right what's scary you know
what's the definition of
scary something you've never seen surprise yeah i hear you surprise exactly but
i mean i think like
80 percent can be just fucking skeletons and gravestones and whatever cobwebs
surprise
motherfucker let me ask you a pointed question answer honestly what would
happen if you skipped this year
i'm um this is not exaggerating this is not trying to get sympathy this is not
trying to get people to
go fund me or whatever for me uh but i think i might i think i might kill them
oh no jesus christ
yeah that's not a threat that's nothing i just think that's what that's what
that's the fact right
that's the yeah that's the honest facts if uh this is i don't know if this is
important to me guys
i hear you well so what what do you what's your what what do you hope to
achieve through your
advocacy here are you hoping that the governor reclassifies halloween stores as
essential services
or something or uh any holiday store sure but just that's for other people but
if if they could open up
halloween stores all around and if they could maybe open up party cities who
often have nice stuff
yeah i would feel yeah i can also buy a lot online which i am doing which helps
wait wait wait so you're buying on amazon or whatever and that's not covering
up for what
the like it feels like you've got things covered if it feels like it's gonna be
okay here's the problem
i don't know i can't tell the size of these things on the internet so a lot of
these things they're
showing up and they're massive or or they're puny and i'm like and i got no
like there's going to be
no scale on this thing because i can't tell the size on the internet okay you
should be able to do a
more in there should be a more info tab on amazon you can see the dimensions
that's my recommendation
they put it they hold it in a hand so you get the size yes they have that photo
just spend a little
time online and check and take a look at the dimensions and the reviews read
the reviews that's
a great idea the governor could if the governor if the governor could say yeah
you don't have to open
up the stores but you do have to hold the item in your hand on the internet i
would be fine
