Speaker 1: Hello everybody, welcome to another Radio Archive Hour here from
0:02
Speaker 1: the Radio Hall of Fame Phil Henry Show and our
0:05
Speaker 1: Radio Archives at philhenryshow.com.
0:07
Speaker 2: This is from the year, what year is this, bud?
0:10
Speaker 3: Let me just double check it.
0:11
Speaker 2: I told you you've got to have that ready.
0:13
Speaker 4: Yes, November 99.
0:15
Speaker 2: November what?
0:15
Speaker 4: 99.
0:16
Speaker 1: It's 90, now say it clear, bud. November 99, Steve Bozell,
0:20
Speaker 1: and this is when Steve and his wife and the
0:23
Speaker 1: kids had just moved into their new home in Corona, California.
0:25
Speaker 1: Steve was a construction contractor. And he calls our show
0:28
Speaker 1: traumatized after his home was silly stringed on Halloween night.
0:32
Speaker 1: He considers this a personal attack against him since none
0:35
Speaker 1: of the other homes on the street were vandalized. Steve
0:39
Speaker 1: Bozell and the silly string.
0:41
Speaker 2: I mean, that's kind of right. Yeah, it took you
0:44
Speaker 2: a while. Do you own your own home?
0:45
Speaker 4: I do own my own home. We have lived in
0:47
Speaker 4: our current residence about four years. We live in a
0:50
Speaker 4: neighborhood where there are quite a few kids. We've got
0:52
Speaker 4: a lot of families, especially on our street. We do
0:54
Speaker 4: live on a cul-de-sac, which means that we have, I think,
0:57
Speaker 4: a nice, safe neighborhood. There's not a lot of through traffic,
1:00
Speaker 4: so the kids can trick-or-treat up and down a lot
1:03
Speaker 4: of these streets because they are cul-de-sacs.
1:04
Speaker 2: So you don't get a lot of vehicle traffic going through.
1:06
Speaker 4: That's correct, yes.
1:08
Speaker 2: Well, what's the deal? So you guys were trick-or-treating last night?
1:12
Speaker 4: No, my wife took the two girls out to trick-or-treat,
1:16
Speaker 4: and I stayed at home. And we had... do Halloween
1:21
Speaker 4: up maybe more so than other families because it's a
1:24
Speaker 4: fun holiday for us.
1:26
Speaker 5: I want to ask you, I'm sorry, you own your
1:28
Speaker 5: own home now, and how long have you lived in
1:30
Speaker 5: this home?
1:31
Speaker 4: We lived in this home for four years.
1:33
Speaker 2: All right. And is that the only house that you've owned?
1:36
Speaker 4: No, sir. I'm from Knoxville, Tennessee originally, and we owned
1:39
Speaker 4: a home there for 10 years before we moved out
1:41
Speaker 4: to Southern California.
1:44
Speaker 2: All right, so you had your wife's out with the kids.
1:47
Speaker 4: My wife was out with the kids, and we do Halloween,
1:50
Speaker 4: you know, what kind of candies the kids like. We
1:53
Speaker 4: found out the kids love the Reese's Pieces or the
1:56
Speaker 4: Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, the Reese's Sticks, now and laters.
2:01
Speaker 4: They love Milky Ways. We carve a couple of jack-o'-lanterns.
2:05
Speaker 4: I cut up two jack-o'-lanterns. We had all the music.
2:07
Speaker 4: We do prerecorded spooky music and all the Halloween music.
2:12
Speaker 4: My wife and I also dress up. We get into
2:14
Speaker 4: costume for it.
2:15
Speaker 2: So that you're in costume when the kids come to
2:17
Speaker 2: the door?
2:17
Speaker 4: Yes, sir.
2:19
Speaker 2: What do you dress up as?
2:20
Speaker 4: Well, I get into a Dracula cape, and I do that, and,
2:24
Speaker 4: you know, those fake Dracula teeth or whatever. It's a
2:27
Speaker 4: little difficult to talk to the kids with those, but
2:30
Speaker 4: my wife dresses up in kind of a good witch,
2:33
Speaker 4: a Wendy the Witch costume, and we really strive year
2:35
Speaker 4: in and year out to do what we can. Now,
2:38
Speaker 4: we're doing this anyway... Last night.
2:42
Speaker 2: You went to a therapist today, correct?
2:44
Speaker 4: I went to a family therapist. Halloween's my favorite holiday.
2:48
Speaker 4: I love Halloween so much. It's a kid's holiday, but
2:51
Speaker 4: I think it brings out a lot of imagination. I
2:54
Speaker 4: also called my attorney this morning as soon as I
2:57
Speaker 4: got back from Dr. Spell's office.
3:01
Speaker 2: You don't have to mention anybody's name here, okay? All right, sir?
3:05
Speaker 4: Yes, sir, I understand that.
3:07
Speaker 5: Just don't mention anybody's name, doctor or lawyer or otherwise,
3:10
Speaker 5: to protect their anonymity.
3:11
Speaker 4: I understand that.
3:12
Speaker 2: Okay, go ahead.
3:14
Speaker 4: About, I'd say a little bit after 8 o'clock, the
3:18
Speaker 4: doorbell rings, and we've been going along pretty good. We've
3:20
Speaker 4: been giving out candy. We've got a lot of trick-or-treaters
3:22
Speaker 4: coming to our house. So the doorbell rings about 8 o'clock.
3:26
Speaker 4: I go to the door. My wife has since come
3:28
Speaker 4: back with the two little ones. We've got two. We've
3:30
Speaker 4: got a 5- and 6-year-old, both of my daughters, so
3:32
Speaker 4: they don't stay out too late. They went out about,
3:35
Speaker 4: I'd say, 6, and they came back about 7. Okay. Okay.
3:40
Speaker 4: Doorbell rings. I open the door. There's a group of
3:44
Speaker 4: kids there. They say trick-or-treat. My wife was the first
3:49
Speaker 4: one to notice it, and I took down a note
3:51
Speaker 4: that my attorney told me to note down to use
3:53
Speaker 4: that time. And our entire front door, as well as
3:58
Speaker 4: the gate outside leading to the front door, as well
4:01
Speaker 4: as our garage door, have been covered in silly string.
4:05
Speaker 4: I have been a homeowner, sir, for Now.
4:07
Speaker 2: This was covered in silly string.
4:09
Speaker 5: If anybody knows what that is, it's the stuff that
4:11
Speaker 5: shoots out of a can?
4:12
Speaker 4: I don't know. It's something that kids squirt out of
4:14
Speaker 4: a can. It's like a long string. It comes in
4:16
Speaker 4: different colors, and it covers everything. And it's all over
4:24
Speaker 4: the car. It's all over the garage door. It's all
4:26
Speaker 4: over our front door. It was all over the gate
4:28
Speaker 4: that leads out to our front door. And I tell you,
4:34
Speaker 4: I've lived in this house for four years. And before that,
4:36
Speaker 4: we lived in our own home for 10 years. And
4:39
Speaker 4: every single solitary year, we had never had any problem
4:44
Speaker 4: like this. I had my home in Knoxville, Tennessee. I
4:47
Speaker 4: own my home here in Corona. It's 14 straight Halloweens.
4:50
Speaker 4: And every year, I'd say, what a great Halloween it's been.
4:53
Speaker 4: Next year is even going to be better. And for
4:56
Speaker 4: the first time since I've been a homeowner, we got
4:59
Speaker 4: silly stringed. And I asked myself and I asked my
5:04
Speaker 4: wife what it was that I did wrong or what
5:06
Speaker 4: we could have done to prevent this. And we just
5:09
Speaker 4: sit and think about it. I can't seem to come
5:12
Speaker 4: up with many answers. I had told my doctor. that
5:18
Speaker 4: I felt a little bit inadequate about this. He asked
5:21
Speaker 4: me why. I said there are a number of issues.
5:23
Speaker 4: First of all, the fact that none of the other
5:25
Speaker 4: houses on our block had been silly-stringed, none of them
5:28
Speaker 4: had been TP'd, there had been no any kind of
5:31
Speaker 4: vandalism or tricks or whatever you want to call it.
5:34
Speaker 4: He said to me that I might have been taking
5:37
Speaker 4: this personally, and I said to him, I am the
5:39
Speaker 4: only home on our block that had his house silly-stringed.
5:44
Speaker 4: I got no sleep last night because I was worried
5:48
Speaker 4: that now someone is in the neighborhood trying to make
5:56
Speaker 4: me look like a fool. None of the other houses
5:59
Speaker 4: got silly string, but I got silly string. That's 14
6:01
Speaker 4: straight Halloweens that we had never got silly string. Now,
6:05
Speaker 4: I have two homes. We have a very well-lit home.
6:09
Speaker 4: You can see our home up and down the street.
6:12
Speaker 4: All of the neighbors obviously can see this. Somebody out there,
6:16
Speaker 4: one of the kids, I don't know who, was trying
6:18
Speaker 4: to make me look like a fool and trying to
6:21
Speaker 4: humiliate my family. My doctor said not to take it personally,
6:24
Speaker 4: and I was so humiliated because it made me look foolish. And,
6:28
Speaker 4: of course, my next-door neighbor, who you told me not
6:31
Speaker 4: to mention any names, I'll just say his first name
6:33
Speaker 4: is Bill, has had this running thing going on with
6:37
Speaker 4: me that he doesn't like the way that we decorate
6:39
Speaker 4: our home. So I don't know who it is.
6:41
Speaker 2: Well, do you suspect your next-door neighbor?
6:43
Speaker 4: I don't know who it is. I could very well
6:45
Speaker 4: be my next door neighbor. I don't know. We do
6:48
Speaker 4: decorate our home on Halloween. We love to do it up.
6:52
Speaker 6: All right.
6:59
Speaker 5: You sound like you're having a hard time talking about this.
7:02
Speaker 5: And I want to be very, very clear. You went
7:05
Speaker 5: to your therapist this morning. Because your home got silly-stringed.
7:09
Speaker 4: I went to talk to our family therapist this morning
7:12
Speaker 4: because there's someone on the street who is trying to
7:15
Speaker 4: make me look foolish and trying to make my family
7:18
Speaker 4: look like a fool. Because we've been four years on
7:20
Speaker 4: this block and nobody had ever silly-stringed or TP'd our
7:23
Speaker 4: home or any of that nonsense. And ten years our
7:26
Speaker 4: home in Knoxville, Tennessee, nobody had ever TP'd the home
7:29
Speaker 4: at all. And now this has happened to me. And...
7:35
Speaker 4: I have contacted an attorney, and I can tell you this, Mr. Henry,
7:38
Speaker 4: that there is some grounds in his opinion for emotional distress,
7:41
Speaker 4: not only for vandalism but emotional distress, but I don't
7:44
Speaker 4: yet know who done it to me and who done
7:46
Speaker 4: it to my family.
7:47
Speaker 2: Well, is this a legal issue or is this a
7:50
Speaker 2: psychological issue? What do you think is going on with you?
7:54
Speaker 4: I think that someone obviously has it in for me
7:58
Speaker 4: or my family, but I need to deal with that.
8:02
Speaker 5: So somebody is trying to make you look like a
8:04
Speaker 5: fool by silly stringing your house, but you need to
8:07
Speaker 5: psychologically deal with that.
8:08
Speaker 4: I need to kind of bust through whatever this persecution
8:12
Speaker 4: is and then deal with it in a positive way.
8:15
Speaker 2: All right, Steve, will you hold on? Mr.
8:18
Speaker 5: Bozell from Corona, whose home was silly stringed last night.
8:21
Speaker 5: This was an emotional trauma for him to the point
8:23
Speaker 5: where he went to a doctor this morning, took off work.
8:27
Speaker 5: Apparently he's lived on the street for four years. His
8:30
Speaker 5: house has never, ever been... silly-stringed or attacked in this way.
8:34
Speaker 5: He lived in his home in Tennessee for 10 years
8:37
Speaker 5: and there has never been any such incident. And right
8:41
Speaker 5: now he is experiencing an emotional episode that at least
8:46
Speaker 5: has necessitated a visit to a psychologist.
8:49
Speaker 2: This is the Phil Henry Show.
8:50
Speaker 5: Phil Henry Show at 1-800-449-8686. Day after Halloween, I didn't
8:55
Speaker 5: quite think we'd be dealing with emotional trauma from adults.
8:59
Speaker 2: And this is unusual.
9:01
Speaker 5: But a listener of ours out in Corona, Steve Bozell,
9:06
Speaker 5: basically you had your home silly-stringed, and this has never happened.
9:09
Speaker 2: To you before.
9:10
Speaker 4: It has not happened in the years that we've lived here.
9:12
Speaker 4: And we've lived here four years and in the ten
9:14
Speaker 4: years prior to that. So I've been a homeowner for
9:17
Speaker 4: 14 years. I've never had my home vandalized in that manner.
9:22
Speaker 4: I've never had children come to my home and disrespect
9:24
Speaker 4: in that manner, especially considering the fact that we have
9:27
Speaker 4: done everything that we can to– Really bring the spirit
9:30
Speaker 4: of Halloween to our home. We love Halloween, and we
9:33
Speaker 4: have gotten all the good candy. We don't give out
9:35
Speaker 4: no popcorn bags. We don't give out no nut bags.
9:38
Speaker 4: We don't give out no dried fruit. I have never,
9:41
Speaker 4: ever given out no popcorn bags.
9:45
Speaker 2: You said you researched the candy?
9:46
Speaker 4: Well, we know exactly what the kids love. They love
9:48
Speaker 4: the Reese's sticks. They love the Now and Laters, the
9:50
Speaker 4: Milk Away, the Reese's Peanut Butter Cup. I've never not
9:53
Speaker 4: given out no raisin boxes, and I never will. And
9:56
Speaker 4: that's just a personal thing that I've always felt for myself.
9:59
Speaker 4: And so we have the enjoyment of the children of mine.
10:02
Speaker 4: And for me to hit the door, and I can
10:03
Speaker 4: tell you exactly, it was 8.03, because my attorney told
10:05
Speaker 4: me to write down the exact time that I'd seen
10:07
Speaker 4: Silly String at my door. I'll tell you, that took
10:09
Speaker 4: the wind out of my sails.
10:12
Speaker 5: Well, I appreciate how you get into the spirit of Halloween,
10:14
Speaker 5: I'll tell you that much. I also appreciate how this
10:17
Speaker 5: has affected you to the point where you actually went
10:19
Speaker 5: and talked to a professional today.
10:21
Speaker 4: I can tell you, Mr. Henry, I did not sleep
10:24
Speaker 4: last night. I had a very difficult time sleeping last night,
10:26
Speaker 4: I should say.
10:27
Speaker 2: Let me go to your neighborhood, in fact. Here is
10:29
Speaker 2: Corona on the Phil Henry Show.
10:30
Speaker 5: Hello?
10:31
Speaker 7: Hi.
10:32
Speaker 4: Yes.
10:33
Speaker 7: I just want to say, I don't think.
10:35
Speaker 4: Are you calling from Corona, ma'am?
10:37
Speaker 3: Yes.
10:38
Speaker 4: Do you know the neighborhood I'm talking about?
10:40
Speaker 7: What neighborhood is this?
10:42
Speaker 4: Well... We're up near the hills. Where were you last? Well,
10:47
Speaker 4: I'm not saying you did it, but you know what
10:50
Speaker 4: part of Corona you're in?
10:52
Speaker 8: You probably wouldn't know it.
10:53
Speaker 3: It's small.
10:54
Speaker 7: But I know what you're talking about. It's a nice area.
10:56
Speaker 4: Right.
10:57
Speaker 7: And, sir, it's... I don't think this is a personal
11:01
Speaker 7: thing at all. I'm 15 years old, and when I
11:04
Speaker 7: was younger, I used to do this to people I liked.
11:08
Speaker 7: If someone toilet papered my house, I would come to
11:11
Speaker 7: school excited, like, oh, guess what happened? I got toilet papered.
11:14
Speaker 4: Well, that's no. The way it works with a trick-or-treat
11:16
Speaker 4: is they give you a trick if they don't like
11:18
Speaker 4: the treats or whatever. We always give out the very best.
11:23
Speaker 4: That's what the kids have told us anyway.
11:25
Speaker 7: I don't think that any trick-or-treaters is taking the slang
11:29
Speaker 7: term trick-or-treat as something personal, like if they don't like
11:33
Speaker 7: your treats, they'll trick you. It's Halloween night, and they
11:35
Speaker 7: didn't do any permanent damage to your home.
11:38
Speaker 4: Well, who would do it? Because my children are too
11:40
Speaker 4: small to have any friends who'd be around Silly String.
11:43
Speaker 4: I've got two daughters who are five and six years
11:45
Speaker 4: of age.
11:46
Speaker 2: I've got to ask the lady to turn her radio down.
11:48
Speaker 2: I can hear it in the car there.
11:49
Speaker 3: Okay?
11:50
Speaker 4: Okay.
11:50
Speaker 7: Okay, I'm sorry.
11:51
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's all right.
11:52
Speaker 4: You know, who do they know? Five-year-old child going around
11:55
Speaker 4: with a silly string in me. Somebody, I think, is
11:58
Speaker 4: trying to intimidate my family, and that's the thing that
11:59
Speaker 4: scares me the most.
12:00
Speaker 2: Intimidate your family?
12:01
Speaker 4: That's where I really feel this is coming from, yeah.
12:03
Speaker 7: Sir, I honestly don't. Just to give an example, my parents'
12:07
Speaker 7: friends toilet papered us on their 20th anniversary with happy
12:10
Speaker 7: anniversary across our lawn. It is not always a personal thing,
12:15
Speaker 7: and even if it.
12:16
Speaker 4: You said that the people know you, though. Right.
12:19
Speaker 8: Even if they don't know you, sir.
12:20
Speaker 4: That's what scares the hell out of me.
12:23
Speaker 7: But, sir, it was in a good way. And I
12:26
Speaker 7: don't think this is a personal thing, especially on Halloween night.
12:30
Speaker 7: Kids are going around doing things just randomly. They will
12:34
Speaker 7: pick a house randomly. I have friends who.
12:35
Speaker 4: Have done it... I have never given out a raisin box.
12:41
Speaker 7: Honestly, sir, on Halloween night, you're lucky that you didn't
12:43
Speaker 7: get eggs.
12:43
Speaker 4: I will tell you this, and the reason why is
12:45
Speaker 4: because my wife and I, on Halloween, we don't give
12:47
Speaker 4: out no raisin box. I have never given out a
12:49
Speaker 4: raisin box.
12:50
Speaker 7: Sir, I can almost promise you that the people that
12:53
Speaker 7: did this to you did not go trick-or-treating at your house.
12:57
Speaker 5: They just walked up possibly and started smearing the door
13:00
Speaker 5: because they could probably be caught.
13:03
Speaker 7: Have you talked to any of your neighbors?
13:05
Speaker 4: I've talked to....
13:07
Speaker 2: Who is your neighbor?
13:08
Speaker 4: I have a neighbor. His name is Bill Bozinger. Mr.
13:10
Speaker 4: Bozinger has always been a little bit jealous of the
13:12
Speaker 4: way my wife and I do up Halloween. And I'll
13:16
Speaker 4: tell you right now that I feel in my heart
13:19
Speaker 4: that this guy Bozinger did it. But I can't prove it.
13:23
Speaker 2: Have you thought about talking to him about it?
13:25
Speaker 4: I talked to him, and of course he naturally denies
13:27
Speaker 4: all of this. Or his sons. He's got two twin sons.
13:29
Speaker 4: They're both 15 years of age.
13:31
Speaker 7: Maybe his son's doing it as a practical joke for
13:33
Speaker 7: fun on Halloween.
13:34
Speaker 4: Well, you know something? I'll say this.
13:36
Speaker 5: I think the lady's making a good point about being
13:38
Speaker 5: a practical joke.
13:39
Speaker 6: Well, I will say that.
13:40
Speaker 9: Sure, it's Halloween.
13:41
Speaker 2: Yeah, and kids do that. You understand that.
13:43
Speaker 4: Kids do that.
13:44
Speaker 7: I mean, I'm not a malicious person, and I've done
13:48
Speaker 7: this to random houses. It's not.
13:52
Speaker 4: They do it to places where they don't give you
13:53
Speaker 4: no good treat, you know? No, sir. I've never given
13:55
Speaker 4: out no popcorn bag or anything.
13:57
Speaker 7: I don't think there is a person under... 16 years
14:00
Speaker 7: old who understands trick-or-treat that if you don't get something
14:03
Speaker 7: you like, you have to trick the person. It's not
14:05
Speaker 7: like that, sir.
14:07
Speaker 4: I'll say this, that I have been through an emotional
14:10
Speaker 4: trauma and my family's been through an emotional trauma that
14:14
Speaker 4: we're still trying to come to terms with.
14:15
Speaker 7: Well, sir, I think maybe you and your wife have
14:18
Speaker 7: been through an emotional trauma and maybe you've convinced your
14:20
Speaker 7: children that this is emotional.
14:22
Speaker 2: Uh-oh, car phone gone.
14:26
Speaker 4: All gone. And she's about to get to a good
14:28
Speaker 4: place where she can explain.
14:29
Speaker 5: I know, but she's gone. The car phone went out.
14:32
Speaker 5: Here is Newton on the Phil Henry Show.
14:33
Speaker 4: Hello.
14:35
Speaker 7: Yes.
14:37
Speaker 8: You can't be serious. You can't take this personal. This
14:40
Speaker 8: is just a random accident.
14:41
Speaker 4: I've never, ever had no silly string.
14:43
Speaker 6: It doesn't matter.
14:44
Speaker 4: I've never had no silly string on my house.
14:47
Speaker 8: These kids probably have never trick-or-treated at your house. They
14:51
Speaker 8: came up, and they did this, and they took off
14:53
Speaker 8: because they were doing it as a joke.
14:56
Speaker 4: Let me say, practical jokes are not funny. There's nothing
14:58
Speaker 4: funny about this. This is mean-spirited.
15:00
Speaker 8: I'm not saying it's funny, but the kids are kids,
15:03
Speaker 8: and they're going to think it's funny.
15:04
Speaker 5: Why do you think kids put silly string on doors
15:07
Speaker 5: and things? I mean, that's a rhetorical question.
15:09
Speaker 4: Well, I don't know. To be cruel, and I don't
15:12
Speaker 4: think any kid did this. I think Bozinger did it.
15:14
Speaker 4: I think one of his two sons did it. They're 15-year-olds.
15:16
Speaker 4: I don't call them little boys anymore. Those are young men.
15:19
Speaker 4: And I had, as I have mentioned, and I've tried
15:22
Speaker 4: to make very clear, I've never given up one popcorn bag.
15:25
Speaker 4: I've never given out one raisin box. I've never given
15:28
Speaker 4: out no nut bag. And I ain't never given out
15:30
Speaker 4: no fruit. All right? Only the top of the line
15:34
Speaker 4: candy do I give out. And I get silly string.
15:38
Speaker 8: If you think that your neighbor is the one who's
15:41
Speaker 8: done this, he's an adult.
15:44
Speaker 5: Well, the guy wouldn't admit to it.
15:46
Speaker 4: I've never given out a poplar bag.
15:48
Speaker 2: I know that. Okay, we've got to take a break here.
15:51
Speaker 5: Phil Hendry Show at 1-800-449-8686.
15:54
Speaker 2: Phil Hendry here.
15:55
Speaker 5: The issue of vandalizing homes or trick-or-treat or whatever on Halloween,
16:00
Speaker 5: people talk about this. You get your house. Like last year, Mr. Bozell,
16:04
Speaker 5: I got Steve Bozell from Corona who's on the line
16:06
Speaker 5: with us. His home was silly-stringed last night. Last year,
16:08
Speaker 5: we had our candy stolen. That was at our front
16:12
Speaker 5: door because we took the kids out, you know, to
16:16
Speaker 5: go trick-or-treating.
16:16
Speaker 4: Yes, sir.
16:17
Speaker 5: And when we came back, We left a big bowl
16:20
Speaker 5: of candy basically with a sign that said, please take one.
16:22
Speaker 2: Well, that was a big mistake because obviously we had
16:23
Speaker 2: some kids.
16:24
Speaker 4: They came by and somebody took it all.
16:26
Speaker 5: Someone had taken it all. We had a little sign
16:29
Speaker 5: that said, boo, you know, trying to get into the spirit.
16:32
Speaker 5: And obviously a group of probably bigger kids with no
16:35
Speaker 5: adults around came and dumped it into their bag.
16:40
Speaker 2: I don't know that you can keep this from happening.
16:43
Speaker 4: I understand, but I think what you're failing to hear
16:45
Speaker 4: and what a lot of your listeners are failing to hear, sir,
16:47
Speaker 4: is that while it may have happened to you and
16:50
Speaker 4: it happens on occasion to other people, it has never,
16:52
Speaker 4: ever happened to my home. And the reason why it's
16:55
Speaker 4: never happened to my home is we don't give out
16:56
Speaker 4: no bad treat. We give out only the finest, the
16:59
Speaker 4: Reese's stick.
17:00
Speaker 2: I know you've never done a Raisin Box.
17:02
Speaker 4: We've never done a Raisin Box, and plus we get
17:05
Speaker 4: into the spirit of it. And I think that what's
17:08
Speaker 4: happened here is I think my family's gotten targeted. And
17:11
Speaker 4: I just wonder what I've done wrong and what we
17:13
Speaker 4: can do in the future to prevent something like this
17:15
Speaker 4: from happening again because it has traumatized our home.
17:20
Speaker 5: And do you hear there's a lot of people saying
17:21
Speaker 5: that you shouldn't take this as personally as you are?
17:24
Speaker 4: I'm working on that, but I'm also working on the
17:26
Speaker 4: reality that it could either be Bill Bozinger lives next
17:30
Speaker 4: door to me or his twin sons or somebody on
17:33
Speaker 4: the street that obviously wants to send me a message.
17:36
Speaker 5: All right, here is Tampa on the Phil Henry Show.
17:39
Speaker 4: Hello. Hello.
17:41
Speaker 6: Traumatized. He's traumatizing himself. I live across the street from
17:46
Speaker 6: a middle school. This happens to me. I've lived here
17:48
Speaker 6: for five years. October was my fifth year here, and
17:52
Speaker 6: every year it happens. I don't take it personal. This
17:55
Speaker 6: is the worst thing that happens to me all year.
17:57
Speaker 4: Everything happens to you.
17:59
Speaker 6: Thank God.
17:59
Speaker 4: Every single year.
18:00
Speaker 6: Every year.
18:01
Speaker 4: Mister, if I were you, I'd start looking into that.
18:03
Speaker 3: Why?
18:04
Speaker 4: Because I'm sure not everybody's house on your street gets hit.
18:08
Speaker 6: A bunch of houses on this side of the street
18:11
Speaker 6: across from this school get hit every year.
18:14
Speaker 4: Not every house, okay?
18:15
Speaker 6: Not every house.
18:16
Speaker 4: Okay, why is that?
18:18
Speaker 6: I don't know.
18:18
Speaker 4: Well, I've got the answer because I believe you're getting
18:21
Speaker 4: targeted somehow. And I don't know what kind of candy
18:25
Speaker 4: you give out on Halloween. But, you know, these kids,
18:27
Speaker 4: they don't want no Raisin Box.
18:29
Speaker 6: Well, let's see.
18:30
Speaker 2: I understand that. What do you give out on Halloween?
18:32
Speaker 6: $ 10, 000, Reese's Cups, Junior Mints.
18:34
Speaker 4: Junior Mints, Charmed. No, wrong.
18:36
Speaker 6: Three Musketeers.
18:38
Speaker 4: That's good.
18:38
Speaker 6: Sugar Daddies.
18:39
Speaker 4: That's wrong. Whoppers.
18:41
Speaker 2: What was the one you didn't... It.
18:43
Speaker 6: Doesn't have anything to do with it. You're taking it personal.
18:45
Speaker 6: You've got this vendetta that you think that somebody's out
18:48
Speaker 6: to get you, and you're wrong.
18:49
Speaker 4: No one's out to get you.
18:51
Speaker 6: You are traumatizing yourself. You are traumatizing your kids. You
18:54
Speaker 6: are traumatizing your family, and you're making way too big
18:56
Speaker 6: a deal out of what's going on. It's no big deal.
19:00
Speaker 6: There are bigger issues in your life, in your family.
19:03
Speaker 6: in the world than what you're talking about.
19:05
Speaker 4: What do you want to say?
19:07
Speaker 6: You're a big baby.
19:09
Speaker 4: No, I've got two nephews, I'll tell you. You give
19:10
Speaker 4: that junior mince, mister, you're asking for trouble.
19:13
Speaker 6: You're a big baby.
19:14
Speaker 4: No, no, I've got two nephews who tell you this.
19:17
Speaker 4: You're a big baby. Do you want some cheese with
19:21
Speaker 4: that wine? How are you qualified to diagnose my paranoia,
19:24
Speaker 4: as you call it?
19:25
Speaker 6: Wait a minute you just said it how are you
19:27
Speaker 6: qualified paranoia no you are paranoid i didn't say that
19:30
Speaker 6: you just diagnosed yourself you are paranoid you're probably laying
19:34
Speaker 6: this on your kids and god forbid that they grow
19:36
Speaker 6: up to be like you what are you telling the
19:38
Speaker 6: kids way to.
19:39
Speaker 4: Be no this guy called it paranoia i didn't call
19:41
Speaker 4: it paranoia i said how he qualified to diagnose.
19:44
Speaker 6: It you okay i didn't even say the word paranoia
19:47
Speaker 6: you brought.
19:47
Speaker 4: It up you most certainly did and I didn't. Unless
19:52
Speaker 4: you get the message about junior mints. Which apparently you haven't, correct?
19:56
Speaker 6: Go ahead.
19:56
Speaker 4: You haven't gotten a message on that?
19:58
Speaker 6: Go ahead.
19:58
Speaker 2: What's the message on Junior Mints, that it's a bad candy?
20:01
Speaker 4: It's the kind, one of those candies kids cannot stand.
20:03
Speaker 6: Oh, really?
20:04
Speaker 4: So you know what all kids like? I happen to
20:06
Speaker 4: know what they hate.
20:07
Speaker 6: It's obvious you don't because they did your house wrong.
20:10
Speaker 6: Isn't that true?
20:11
Speaker 4: That's the whole thing. It can't possibly be from a
20:13
Speaker 4: candy that I'm giving out. There's something else going on.
20:14
Speaker 4: I do my Halloween research.
20:15
Speaker 6: Maybe it's because you're a paranoid schizophrenic.
20:18
Speaker 4: There he goes again.
20:19
Speaker 6: Maybe that's what it is.
20:20
Speaker 4: There you go again. Trying to diagnose what you think
20:23
Speaker 4: I've got a disease.
20:24
Speaker 6: Anybody who's listening to you can tell that you are
20:28
Speaker 6: definitely making much too much of a difference.
20:31
Speaker 5: Is a kid going to get so angry at someone
20:32
Speaker 5: that he's going to silly string the house because he's
20:34
Speaker 5: got junior mints?
20:35
Speaker 4: I don't think so.
20:37
Speaker 6: They do it because there's an opportunity to do it.
20:39
Speaker 6: It doesn't matter who the person is. You know what
20:42
Speaker 6: upset me in my house? I've been here for five
20:44
Speaker 6: years when somebody kicked my door and stole all my stuff.
20:48
Speaker 6: That's what upset me. That's the only thing that's happened
20:50
Speaker 6: to me since I've been in my house that upset me.
20:51
Speaker 4: That's going to happen. That's going to happen. What are
20:55
Speaker 4: you talking about?
20:56
Speaker 6: When somebody robbed my home.
21:00
Speaker 4: Those things are going to happen.
21:01
Speaker 6: Those things are going to happen. But a silly string
21:03
Speaker 6: in your house, that's just the worst.
21:05
Speaker 4: That's what you got insurance for, sir.
21:07
Speaker 5: Okay?
21:09
Speaker 4: Silly string.
21:09
Speaker 6: Well, you got insurance for that, too.
21:11
Speaker 4: No, I do not. That's a personal attack, okay? Wait
21:14
Speaker 4: a minute.
21:14
Speaker 5: The guy just said that.
21:15
Speaker 2: Some guy just went into his.
21:16
Speaker 6: Somebody doing damage to your home?
21:18
Speaker 4: Somebody went into your home. You got insurance for that,
21:19
Speaker 4: don't you? Yeah, of course I do. All right, okay.
21:22
Speaker 4: So what's the big deal? You know that's going to happen.
21:25
Speaker 6: You are nuts. You are nuts.
21:28
Speaker 4: You know what?
21:28
Speaker 6: You didn't spend enough time on the couch today because
21:32
Speaker 6: you are nuts.
21:32
Speaker 5: Well, I am interested to know, thanks for your call, sir,
21:34
Speaker 5: what the doctor said to you.
21:36
Speaker 4: The doctor told me that I should not take and
21:38
Speaker 4: basically tell me what a lot of these people are saying,
21:40
Speaker 4: not to take it personal, but I told him that
21:41
Speaker 4: I was humiliated because they made me look like a fool. Okay,
21:45
Speaker 4: and not everybody.
21:46
Speaker 2: How are you made to look like a fool?
21:47
Speaker 4: Let me just say that. Farmers insurance will not cover
21:50
Speaker 4: Silly String on my house. They laughed when I called
21:53
Speaker 4: them up. And I made the phone call this morning
21:56
Speaker 4: at approximately 7.15 because I knew my agent was in.
21:59
Speaker 4: And I said to my agent, got the name of Rick, listen,
22:04
Speaker 4: you got to get over here because I got Silly
22:05
Speaker 4: String last night. Now I want an assessment. I don't
22:08
Speaker 4: know how quick you guys can cut a check.
22:10
Speaker 2: Well, wait a second, man.
22:11
Speaker 5: They ain't going to cover your pad for Silly String, okay?
22:15
Speaker 4: Well, no, but I'm saying they will cover you to
22:17
Speaker 4: have your home burglarized. So that's the point that I'm
22:20
Speaker 4: trying to make, you know. You get your home burglarized,
22:22
Speaker 4: you expect that because you have insurance for that. I
22:24
Speaker 4: got my ass Silly String last night. You think Farmers
22:26
Speaker 4: Insurance is going to cut me a check?
22:28
Speaker 5: I would not expect them to, and I don't know
22:30
Speaker 5: why you would make a claim like that, but I
22:31
Speaker 5: will tell you this.
22:32
Speaker 2: The doctor agrees with some of these callers. You're taking
22:34
Speaker 2: it very, very personally, all right?
22:36
Speaker 4: But I was targeted. It was my only house on
22:38
Speaker 4: the block that got silly string last night. My ass
22:40
Speaker 4: got silly string. I didn't see Bozinger's ass get silly string.
22:43
Speaker 4: I didn't see anybody else's, sir. And that's the point
22:45
Speaker 4: that I'm trying to make.
22:46
Speaker 2: All right. Here is Wichita on a Phil Henry show.
22:49
Speaker 4: Hello.
22:50
Speaker 8: Yeah.
22:51
Speaker 4: Hey, you know, he may not give out raisin boxes
22:54
Speaker 4: or bags of popcorn, but he does give out the
22:57
Speaker 4: most whining I've ever heard. And he's got to be
23:00
Speaker 4: the biggest baby I've ever heard. Are you talking to me? Yeah.
23:05
Speaker 4: What am I saying that doesn't resonate with every homeowner?
23:08
Speaker 4: Are you on your own home? You bet. You do?
23:13
Speaker 4: I find that hard to believe.
23:16
Speaker 8: I find it hard to believe that a grown man
23:17
Speaker 8: like you is such a baby.
23:19
Speaker 2: What is your point, sir?
23:20
Speaker 4: Well, you're just a baby.
23:21
Speaker 3: You ought to quit your whining or go home and
23:23
Speaker 3: cry to your mother.
23:24
Speaker 4: Well, I'll tell you what. The minute you own your
23:26
Speaker 4: own home, you let me know. Yeah, okay. Okay.
23:29
Speaker 2: Here is Santa Barbara on the Phil Henry Show.
23:31
Speaker 4: Hello.
23:32
Speaker 6: Yeah, man, you got to get over this.
23:35
Speaker 2: Are you eating right now? Are you eating right now?
23:38
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm sorry.
23:38
Speaker 2: Okay, see you later. Swallow your freaking food before you
23:40
Speaker 2: call this show.
23:41
Speaker 5: 1-800-520-1-800-449-8686.
23:41
Speaker 3: 1-800-449-8686.
23:41
Speaker 2: Phil Henry's show here.
23:42
Speaker 8: Mr.
23:42
Speaker 5: Steve Bozell on the line from Corona, who is apparently,
23:44
Speaker 5: and I got to tell you something right now.
23:55
Speaker 2: I'm agreeing with a lot of these callers. You're distraught
23:57
Speaker 2: and upset.
23:58
Speaker 4: You're agreeing with them why, sir? Because of the fact
24:00
Speaker 4: that I take it personal, that I find Halloween to
24:03
Speaker 4: be an important holiday?
24:04
Speaker 2: No, no, I'm agreeing with them that you're overreacting.
24:08
Speaker 5: You are taking it personally, but you're overreacting to the
24:11
Speaker 5: fact that you got silly-stringed.
24:12
Speaker 4: My ass got silly-stringed. Nobody else's ass got silly-stringed. Now, Bozinger,
24:17
Speaker 4: who lives next door to me, I confront him. I
24:19
Speaker 4: asked him about that. He told me he did not.
24:21
Speaker 2: Okay, you already asked him. He didn't do it. You
24:23
Speaker 2: asked his two sons?
24:24
Speaker 4: I asked. He's got twin sons, 15 years of age, right?
24:27
Speaker 4: And he said that they had not done it. And
24:31
Speaker 4: so I know he's lying to me, number one.
24:34
Speaker 2: So you do suspect him?
24:36
Speaker 4: That is correct. Now, I can do one of two things.
24:39
Speaker 4: I can sue him, or I can certainly exact some
24:42
Speaker 4: kind of recompense or retribution whereby it's even-steven, okay? And
24:48
Speaker 4: I have advised him today that I know he did it,
24:53
Speaker 4: And that I will silly string his ass at some
24:56
Speaker 4: future date when he's not expecting it.
25:00
Speaker 2: Now, you've told this guy you're going to go silly
25:02
Speaker 2: string his house.
25:03
Speaker 4: I'm going to silly string his ass because I know
25:04
Speaker 4: he did it. And he won't know when or where.
25:08
Speaker 4: But I'm going to get him.
25:10
Speaker 2: And what about the insurance claim that he's going to make?
25:13
Speaker 4: Well, that's between him and his insurance company.
25:15
Speaker 5: And when he gets his house silly string, he's going
25:17
Speaker 5: to know that you did it.
25:18
Speaker 4: And that's the difference between him and me. I'm a man.
25:19
Speaker 4: He's not. And I can certainly stand up for myself
25:22
Speaker 4: and say, I'm the man that did it.
25:23
Speaker 5: All right, here's Longview on the Phil Henry Show.
25:26
Speaker 2: Hello.
25:26
Speaker 7: Hi.
25:27
Speaker 3: I just wanted to say that it is absolutely a
25:30
Speaker 3: random event that occurs not only on Halloween, but every
25:34
Speaker 3: Friday and Saturday night.
25:37
Speaker 4: Everybody's calling it random. Why do you call it random?
25:40
Speaker 3: Because that's exactly what it is. It happens to you
25:42
Speaker 3: one time in 13 years or whatever you said. That
25:45
Speaker 3: means it's a random event. If it happens every year,
25:49
Speaker 3: that means it's a bunch of kids having fun with you.
25:51
Speaker 3: If it happens once every 13 years, that's just simply
25:54
Speaker 3: a random event. No, no.
25:55
Speaker 4: They only happen to my house on the street.
25:58
Speaker 3: That's the whole point. That's what the word random means.
26:03
Speaker 3: When I was a kid, I did this all the time.
26:05
Speaker 3: We'd go and toilet paper everybody's houses. On Halloween, you
26:08
Speaker 3: find the pumpkins and you smash them against the ground.
26:11
Speaker 3: I mean, this happens all across America, and surely this
26:15
Speaker 3: is a joke.
26:16
Speaker 4: I had absolutely no reason to fear that my home
26:20
Speaker 4: gets silly string on account of the fact that I've
26:22
Speaker 4: said to you that my family and I have celebrated
26:24
Speaker 4: Halloween together. to the true spirit of it. We dress
26:28
Speaker 4: up in costume. We give the children great candy and everything.
26:31
Speaker 4: We have three or four jack-o'-lanterns out. In other words,
26:33
Speaker 4: we do our home up very, very beautifully.
26:35
Speaker 3: You keep talking about the traditions.
26:37
Speaker 4: That's exactly correct. Now what happens is I come to
26:41
Speaker 4: the door. And I got silly string all over my door, okay?
26:45
Speaker 3: Listen, you keep talking about you hand out great candy.
26:48
Speaker 4: I'm not handing out no popcorn bags.
26:50
Speaker 3: I didn't say that. You say you hand out great candy.
26:52
Speaker 3: That's a tradition of Halloween. What you hand out is
26:54
Speaker 3: a tradition of Halloween. Guess what another tradition of Halloween is?
26:57
Speaker 3: Silly string, toilet paper, and good young fun.
27:01
Speaker 4: That's all it is. That's what happens when you hand
27:04
Speaker 4: out the popcorn bag. No, it doesn't.
27:06
Speaker 2: It happens to everybody.
27:08
Speaker 3: That's why it's a random event. It's unbelievable that you
27:10
Speaker 3: would possibly take this personally.
27:12
Speaker 5: Everybody is saying that they're going to silly string your
27:15
Speaker 5: house whether you're giving out the best candy or the
27:17
Speaker 5: worst candy.
27:18
Speaker 4: Bull crap.
27:19
Speaker 2: Bull crap?
27:19
Speaker 4: That's exactly what I feel. I think you guys are
27:23
Speaker 4: not telling me something.
27:24
Speaker 3: Absolutely not.
27:25
Speaker 4: What are you not telling me?
27:26
Speaker 3: Do you think this is a personal conspiracy against you?
27:29
Speaker 7: No.
27:29
Speaker 4: Well, sir, when I'm the only house on the block
27:34
Speaker 4: that gets his ass silly stringed, What do you think
27:36
Speaker 4: about that?
27:37
Speaker 3: I think that, like I said, it's nothing personal. You
27:40
Speaker 3: keep going back and forth. One time you think it's
27:42
Speaker 3: my next-door neighbor. It's probably his twins. It could be
27:45
Speaker 3: this and that. And then next time you say, it's
27:47
Speaker 3: only happened to me. It was the only.
27:49
Speaker 4: One that did happen to me. It was the only one,
27:50
Speaker 4: but I suspect it's both of your twins.
27:52
Speaker 3: But if you suspect it's your neighbor, then you have
27:54
Speaker 3: nothing to be paranoid about.
27:56
Speaker 4: How do I know?
27:56
Speaker 3: If he is simply jealous that on Halloween you decorate
27:59
Speaker 3: and you do a little bit better than he does.
28:01
Speaker 4: I saw that bastard laughing. How do I know the
28:02
Speaker 4: twins didn't do it?
28:04
Speaker 3: That's the whole point. What if they did? That should
28:07
Speaker 3: put your mind at ease.
28:08
Speaker 2: If you knew the twins did it, okay.
28:10
Speaker 4: Well, to me, that's purposeful vandalizing of private property by
28:14
Speaker 4: the twins.
28:15
Speaker 3: Absolutely not.
28:17
Speaker 4: Oh, well, sir, you and I disagree. I respectfully disagree
28:19
Speaker 4: with you.
28:20
Speaker 3: Did you ever toilet paper somebody's house as a kid?
28:22
Speaker 4: No, sir, I did not. No, sir.
28:23
Speaker 3: And so you think that anybody that does that is
28:26
Speaker 3: purposely trying to terrorize somebody else?
28:28
Speaker 4: I think there is some intimidation factor, yes.
28:30
Speaker 5: The twins came over and silly stringed your door and
28:32
Speaker 5: there's some intimidation.
28:34
Speaker 4: I mean, well, that's why I'm going to get him back.
28:36
Speaker 4: I'm getting him back.
28:37
Speaker 3: How are you going to get these people back?
28:38
Speaker 4: I'll silly string his ass.
28:40
Speaker 3: You do that. That would, right there, that you have
28:43
Speaker 3: become a vandalizer.
28:44
Speaker 2: Absolutely.
28:45
Speaker 5: You become the person that you don't want to be.
28:46
Speaker 5: Thank you for your call this evening, sir. I'm going
28:49
Speaker 5: to silly string Bozinger and the twins. That's the last,
28:52
Speaker 5: the latest word we got on that.
28:54
Speaker 4: 1-800-449-8686.
28:54
Speaker 2: Phil Henry Show.
28:57
Speaker 4: Mr.
28:58
Speaker 2: Bozell, I want to ask you a question.
28:59
Speaker 5: You say you've never given out any bad candy. You
29:01
Speaker 5: don't know why your home was silly stringed. What do
29:03
Speaker 5: you call bad candy? You mentioned popcorn balls.
29:06
Speaker 4: I can tell you, Mr. Henry, because we do love
29:08
Speaker 4: Halloween at our house, I can tell you the candies
29:10
Speaker 4: that kids will not stand for. We don't give out
29:13
Speaker 4: no mounds. We don't give out no Almond Joy and
29:15
Speaker 4: none of that coconut because no kid is going to
29:18
Speaker 4: stand for no coconut. We don't give out junior mints.
29:21
Speaker 4: We don't give out what do you call them, peppermint patties.
29:25
Speaker 4: I would rather strangle on my own spit than give
29:28
Speaker 4: out no mounds, no almond joy, none of that.
29:31
Speaker 2: Well, how do you know this? Because you guys have
29:32
Speaker 2: researched the candy?
29:33
Speaker 4: Because I just know what kids like. And I know
29:36
Speaker 4: the kids love the Reese's stick and Reese's Pieces peanut
29:39
Speaker 4: butter cup, the Milky Way. They love the Snickers. They
29:41
Speaker 4: love the Now and Later. Now and Later is a
29:42
Speaker 4: new one. But ain't no kid on earth is going
29:46
Speaker 4: to stand there and allow you to put a peppermint
29:47
Speaker 4: mint in his bag if he knows what it is
29:49
Speaker 4: you're trying to pull off. And I ain't doing no
29:52
Speaker 4: nut bag neither. Because I learned my lesson. We did
29:54
Speaker 4: nut bags here about... Well, I think I was still
29:56
Speaker 4: in Tennessee. We did nutbags. That was bad. You look
29:59
Speaker 4: at the kids' faces. Now, that's the one time I
30:02
Speaker 4: thought we would get our ass silly string. The year
30:04
Speaker 4: my wife insisted on giving out nutbags. And I told her,
30:07
Speaker 4: I said to her, and again, I don't want to...
30:09
Speaker 4: I realize I'm sounding emotional.
30:10
Speaker 5: You're sounding extremely emotional about something that is sounding very trivial.
30:13
Speaker 4: Well, I want to make this point. I told my wife,
30:16
Speaker 4: I'm asking you, please. You do a nutbag, our ass
30:19
Speaker 4: gets silly string. Please don't do that. Now, I realize
30:22
Speaker 4: it sounds stupid.
30:24
Speaker 2: I realize it sounds very stupid.
30:27
Speaker 4: But you have to understand how much we enjoy Halloween
30:29
Speaker 4: and how much we're the only ones got silly string.
30:33
Speaker 4: And I think that's been missed in a lot of
30:35
Speaker 4: what we're talking about.
30:36
Speaker 2: All right, Brayman on the Phil Henry Show.
30:38
Speaker 4: Hello.
30:39
Speaker 10: Hello.
30:39
Speaker 4: Yes.
30:41
Speaker 9: The deal about the candy, that is not true. I
30:44
Speaker 9: have a 10-year-old little boy that happens to love peppermint
30:47
Speaker 9: patties and the mounds and the coconut.
30:51
Speaker 4: No way. Not a chance.
30:53
Speaker 9: Yeah.
30:54
Speaker 4: No, ma'am. He's being nice to you. They hate that
30:57
Speaker 4: coconut crap.
30:58
Speaker 9: No, he's not being nice because he'll go in the
31:01
Speaker 9: store and that's what he picks is those junior men.
31:04
Speaker 4: Well, I mean, your child's aberrant. I'm sure he's a
31:06
Speaker 4: good kid, but he's just not the norm. And she
31:09
Speaker 4: just didn't.
31:10
Speaker 9: Well, he's raised in the country.
31:13
Speaker 4: Well, maybe you like the coconut out in the country
31:15
Speaker 4: or something like that because you don't have no coconut
31:17
Speaker 4: trees out there. I don't know what it is, and
31:18
Speaker 4: I'm not trying to say. But you give out a
31:20
Speaker 4: damn peppermint patty, and you're asking for trouble.
31:23
Speaker 9: It has nothing to do with the candy.
31:26
Speaker 4: Well, ma'am, what do you know?
31:28
Speaker 5: Well, what a lot of people are saying, it has
31:30
Speaker 5: to do with the fact it was a random event.
31:31
Speaker 4: Not a random event when I'm the only guy on
31:33
Speaker 4: the street that got it.
31:34
Speaker 8: Well, okay.
31:34
Speaker 4: And I know Bozinger gives out peppermint patties. He didn't
31:36
Speaker 4: get no silly string. He gave out peppermint patty. My
31:39
Speaker 4: kid went over there one year. He got one of
31:41
Speaker 4: those popcorn balls. God damn.
31:44
Speaker 9: You've got to be putting me on with that. It's
31:46
Speaker 9: about like somebody toilet papering a house. Here in Cobb
31:49
Speaker 9: County a couple of years ago, a couple of girls
31:51
Speaker 9: toilet papered a house. Well, the gentleman pulled up in
31:55
Speaker 9: his driveway. Well, he decided to chase the girls. The
31:58
Speaker 9: girls went around the curve. Two of them are dead.
32:01
Speaker 4: Well, now, see, that's what you get for toilet papering
32:04
Speaker 4: a house. What are you talking about? The girls hadn't
32:09
Speaker 4: been there, man. That wouldn't have happened. I bet you
32:10
Speaker 4: he got good candy, too.
32:14
Speaker 2: Look, she just said the two girls are dead, okay?
32:16
Speaker 9: It has nothing to do with the candy.
32:19
Speaker 5: It has to do with it was just a, you know,
32:21
Speaker 5: they decided.
32:21
Speaker 4: Go ahead, tell me why.
32:22
Speaker 2: It was just.
32:24
Speaker 9: A random act.
32:25
Speaker 3: I mean, why did the.
32:26
Speaker 9: Girls toilet paper the house?
32:27
Speaker 4: What do you give out on Halloween?
32:30
Speaker 9: I give out all kinds of different things.
32:32
Speaker 4: Like what?
32:33
Speaker 9: The now or later.
32:35
Speaker 4: Kids love those.
32:36
Speaker 9: Yes, I do give out junior men.
32:38
Speaker 4: Sorry, bad mistake. Bad mistake. You do that, you're asking
32:42
Speaker 4: for trouble. They're little kids.
32:45
Speaker 2: They're little kids.
32:46
Speaker 9: They get a lot of candy on Halloween.
32:48
Speaker 2: The little tiny kids.
32:49
Speaker 4: No, but you get your kid down 9, 10, 11.
32:50
Speaker 9: One Junior Mint is not going to make a difference.
32:52
Speaker 4: You lay a Junior Mint in a kid's bag, and
32:55
Speaker 4: all hell's going to break loose. Now, I know. I've
32:59
Speaker 4: seen it happen to a lot of very dear friends
33:01
Speaker 4: of mine. We lost a couple up the street. I
33:04
Speaker 4: forget when this was. It was about 19, probably about 19,
33:08
Speaker 4: just when I moved in, 94. We lost a couple
33:10
Speaker 4: up the street. You know what a popcorn ball tastes.
33:14
Speaker 7: Like?
33:14
Speaker 4: It tastes like real balls, if I may be so
33:18
Speaker 4: bold as to say.
33:19
Speaker 2: Okay, I got that. What do you mean you lost
33:21
Speaker 2: a couple up the street?
33:22
Speaker 4: Yes, we did.
33:23
Speaker 2: Cedar City on the Phil Henry Show.
33:25
Speaker 4: Hello.
33:25
Speaker 8: Hi.
33:26
Speaker 4: Yes.
33:28
Speaker 10: Did you clean up your silly string?
33:31
Speaker 4: What?
33:31
Speaker 10: Have you cleaned up your silly string?
33:33
Speaker 4: I don't understand your question.
33:35
Speaker 10: What's not to understand? Did you clean up the silly string?
33:40
Speaker 4: My attorneys told me to watch what I say.
33:43
Speaker 10: Oh, your attorneys told you?
33:44
Speaker 4: Okay.
33:44
Speaker 6: You're pathetic.
33:45
Speaker 10: Okay, it's silly string. Take a hose to it. That's
33:48
Speaker 10: all you've got to do. Take a hose to your door.
33:51
Speaker 10: And for your information, this Halloween, we gave out Junior Mints,
33:55
Speaker 10: thank you, in the little tiny boxes. And guess what?
33:59
Speaker 10: We did not give silly string. We did not get
34:01
Speaker 10: toilet paper. We did not get eggs or anything else.
34:04
Speaker 10: We've got little tiny kids from what? four up until
34:09
Speaker 10: 19 years old coming to our door. And, yes, we
34:13
Speaker 10: gave out Junior Mints. We gave out all kinds of junk.
34:15
Speaker 10: But you know what? We didn't get egg. We didn't
34:17
Speaker 10: get silly string. Nothing happened.
34:18
Speaker 4: They'll give you a reprieve, but next year you try
34:20
Speaker 4: to pull that.
34:21
Speaker 8: You need help.
34:22
Speaker 4: Why do I need help, ma'am?
34:23
Speaker 6: What is the big deal.
34:24
Speaker 10: About silly string?
34:25
Speaker 6: God, it washes off.
34:27
Speaker 10: Take your lazy ass out there and wash your door.
34:30
Speaker 4: First of all, ma'am, I'm going to ignore that, but
34:32
Speaker 4: first of all, we have brand-new oak doors, beveled glass,
34:35
Speaker 4: beveled glass. You understand what I'm talking about, don't you? Oh,
34:39
Speaker 4: you think that's funny? In a way.
34:40
Speaker 10: You know, I spent $ 10, 000 in the front.
34:41
Speaker 4: Of our house just in the doors alone. And you're
34:47
Speaker 4: telling me to take my, quote, lazy ass out there
34:50
Speaker 4: and hose it off?
34:51
Speaker 10: Yeah, if you cared about your $ 10, 000 doors, your $ 10, 000 doors,
34:55
Speaker 10: you would go out there and wash them off.
34:57
Speaker 4: Well, lady, you're the one giving out Junior Mints. You're
35:00
Speaker 4: the one playing Russian roulette, not me, okay?
35:02
Speaker 10: Russian roulette? I've been doing it forever.
35:04
Speaker 4: You know what, ma'am?
35:04
Speaker 10: Junior Mints, ass.
35:08
Speaker 4: What's the difference? What's the difference?
35:09
Speaker 10: Would you rather it be silly string that they did
35:13
Speaker 10: to your front door? Or seriously, would you rather have
35:15
Speaker 10: them egg your windows, bust your windows out, or egg
35:19
Speaker 10: your vehicles, which is.
35:21
Speaker 3: Not good for your car?
35:22
Speaker 4: It would be more honest.
35:23
Speaker 6: More honest?
35:24
Speaker 4: It would be much more. I'd respect that. I would
35:27
Speaker 4: respect that.
35:27
Speaker 2: If they busted out the windows in your car.
35:29
Speaker 10: That's windows that you've got to replace in your house.
35:33
Speaker 10: And you're whining and crying over some stupid silly string?
