  Speaker 1: It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. It's Halloween time
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: around these parts. And for some reason, homeowners associations seem

  Speaker 1: to come into play a lot during this time of
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: the year.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: Oh, my God.
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: Saying what you can do, what you can't do. You're
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: just not in charge of your own life. They are now.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: And it's not just your life they control. It's also
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: the decorations on your house, which is why today we
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: call a woman with.
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: A very particular request.
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: Uh-huh.
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: Is it totally unreasonable? Absolutely.

• 0:35
  Speaker 3: Brooke and Jeffrey's phone taps on the 20s. Hello?
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: Hello?
• 0:43

• 0:57
  Speaker 2: Hi. You moved in about four months ago, and I

  Speaker 2: just wanted... I did.
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: I'm pretty new.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yes, you are. That is what I was saying

  Speaker 2: to you. And I wanted to give my official welcome
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: to the neighborhood.
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: Thank you so much.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: You're welcome. And although we have not formally met face-to-face,
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: I must tell you I have been to your house
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: at night and been on your property, and it is
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: very nice.
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: At night?
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: On my property. I don't understand.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: Are you... It will all make sense to you in
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: a moment.
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: The reason for this phone call is because we have
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: not received your $ 200 payment.
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: Oh, I mean, I've been here a few months. I
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: don't know what the $ 200 payment would be for.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: The payment for the penalty.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: Penalties?
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: The Halloween decoration violation that you have committed. I'm sorry.
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: I'm confused. I'm confused. I don't know what the violation is.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: Yes, I will explain it to you. You have the
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: Halloween decorations up around your house for two days?
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: With the skeletons and the gravestones in the front yard? Ooh, scary.
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and there's like a pumpkin and a witch, but
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: they're not near the sidewalk or everybody's able to park.
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: They're just literally in my window and on my little
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: front lawn area.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: You are wasting my time. Let me just go.
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: Right to the handbook here.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: Excuse me? Yes, so right here, Chapter 15, Section C,
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: Bylaw 14.2. It clearly states all Halloween decor that resides
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: on the exterior of a home That means the outside.
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: I know what exterior means.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: Please do not interrupt me. All of the decor must
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: be put away in the daytime before sunset and only
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: return outside after dusk.
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: What?
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: Yes, it is true. And you did not bring your
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: decorations inside. So we must collect the $ 200 fine.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to do that.
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: I've never heard of this in my life.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: It is not true because I just read you the bylaws.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: So you have heard of it.
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: You also said you were near my house at night,
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: so this is getting weird and creepy.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: Well, excuse me, ma'am, but that is part of my job.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: Good luck getting my money.
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: Good luck getting my money. That is ridiculous. I've never
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: heard of anything like that in my life.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: Once again, you should reference Chapter 15, Section C, Bylaw 14.2.
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: I don't know what you mean. I've never heard that
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: in my life. And I watch Judge Judy, so.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: Why would you try to use my favorite show against me?
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: You know what? I'm not surprised by that.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: Well, she's an absolute angel on Earth, so let's not
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: bring Judith into this.
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: Okay, look, I don't care about that, okay? What I
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: see is everybody in the neighborhood has all their Halloween
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: decorations and sh * * on their lawn during the day.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: So why am I being penalized?
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: Is everybody else paying money too?
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: Well, that's probably because October 1st was the deadline to
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: submit your form for decoration re-evacuation demonstration. and you did
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: not receive one from you.
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: Are you kidding me?
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: There's a form?
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: I didn't see a form. You did not request a form,
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: so you did not receive one. But if you did
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: and you had filled it out, then you would be
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: exempt from defying.
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: How would I know to request a form for Halloween decorations?
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: I've never heard any of this, and your stupid rules
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: don't make any sense. It's Halloween. We should all be
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: able to keep our decorations up during the day and night.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: Well, if trees and nuts were candies and butts, then
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: we'd all have a happy Halloween.
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: I don't think that's how that saying goes. And I
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: need to speak to the head of the HOA because
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: this is bullshit.
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: The only person who is more in charge than me
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: would be your husband, Gabe, who told me to set
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: you up for this festive holiday phone prank.
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: What?
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: The truth is, I do not work for the HOA.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: I work for a radio show. It's called Brooke and
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: Jeffrey in the morning.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: We're doing a phone tap on you.
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: Oh, thank God. I was getting so mad.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry.
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: And upset. And I really was going to write him
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: a text.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: You were going to pay the fine?
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: Yes, I was going to pay it. Just so I
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: don't have to hear his voice.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: Anymore. Oh, whose voice?
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: That one is so annoying. Do you mean.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: Barnaby Wild at your service?
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: Oh my god, Barnaby Wild.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: I just got it now.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: So as long as you can have those skeletons and
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: gravestones put away in your garage by 7 a.m. tomorrow morning,
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: you'll be good as gravy.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: That was the worst part.
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: Broken Jeffrey's phone taps on the 20s.
