[chuck]Still no podcast yet. Yes, we’ve been busy with Halloween stuff, but this month has also been rough for other reasons. Chief among them, my wife is scheduled for surgery tomorrow. So sacrifice a goat, light a candle, and say a bunch of prayers, or just save your energy because none of that will affect the outcome.
Here are a few pictures of the haunt-in-progress to keep you occupied.
The gateway arch is all tarped up until Halloween, but it’ll look real spooky then.
A shot of the haunted hallway from the outside (Leighton has built a structure to protect the hallway from the elements):
We’ve closed off the back area to make a graveyard.
A shot of the inside of the haunted hallway. Not as creepy during the day.
Probably the scariest thing we’ve seen this season (at Home Depot):
One of the two room structures Leighton set up:
Inside, a laboratory:
More creepy stuff inside, and a sarcophagus.
Spiders are always good.
The bigger of the two spiders is controlled by this mechanism:
And driven (along with the haunted hallway) by a huge air compressor.
Finally, this dude is just chillin’ out waiting for you all to come visit.

Awesome work! Looks like it’s going to be pretty scary.
Sorry for your wife’s misfortune, I’ll get extra drunk to speed her recovery.
Wow, sorry I can’t get a chance to go through the house.
I hope everything goes well for your wife.
I will think good thoughts for your wifie. The cookie I ate at the Chinese joint says so – Your haunt looks awesome. I have been dying to do one of my own, I used to make them as a kid and now I am a warped grownup
hey guys, so this is where all the beer money is going to? lol well it looks great. much respect for your ambition, i can only hope that it will scar the children that enter for years to come! btw, now i feel like a dick for being a dick earlier, so thanks, i think that makes you guys dicks too. looking forward to your return, hopefully it wont take two thousand years like some other asshole i heard about
Hey Chuck,
Thanks for posting the photos. You guys have been very busy indeed. That second spider messes with my head; I bet I’ll have a full on arachnophobe nightmare tonight. Thanks.
BTW, the photo of Leighton’s arse was uneccessary and even more disturbing than the spider.
And, one last comment: I think the caption for the final photo should be “a fan waiting for the Prop 8 podcast.”
On a serious note though, I know I can’t do anything about your wife’s situation, but I am thinking of her and you, your family and friends. All the best and look after yourselves.
Hope everything goes well for your wife, and the haunt looks awesome.
Take care of your family.
And thanks for the update.
I wish a swift recovery to your wife.
Who’d a thought such a dickhead would be able to engender so much sympathy. But you got it, best wishes for your wife’s speedy recovery.
Good god that spider is freaking scary.
Love your Show. I always enjoy your podcast. So from a shithead to a dickhead hope your wife comes through okay. This Friday I will double up on my narco and think good thoughts (if I can think at all at that point). Silverback
Was that Leighton’s ass? Why is he in a fat person cart?
Wife’s out of surgery and doing fine. We’re both hoping to be anywhere but inside a hospital by tomorrow.
This is fantastic news! here’s to a big party once you get home!
Awesome Halloween constructions and contraptions & Best wishes for a speedy recovery to Mrs Chuck
“And, one last comment: I think the caption for the final photo should be “a fan waiting for the Prop 8 podcast.” LMFAO @Moggie Magfeline
The spook house looks awesome, Chuck. You gonna have Christine O’Donnell in there?
Very glad to hear the surgery went OK. All the best for a quick and uncomplicated recovery 🙂 It’s a bugger that I am on the other side of the world and can’t either bring you some food or see the home haunt 🙁
I’d visit the haunt but that would mean driving through Idaho, and that ain’t happening.
*recoils at spider*
Pennywise!?
Holy Guacamole now that a haunt, love the spider would make me jump like a little girl if I saw that thing moving in the dark. That butt crack shot well I will need therapy after that one.
May science cure what ails her in one quick painless shot.
I wish the wife well! Let us listeners know what we can do to help.
When your season is over, I hope you will give us a full walk-through of your backyard haunt. I would ask that we get it before halloween, but I don’t want to spoil it for anyone, and I know we would likely get a fu*k off, I’m busy right now LOL
Again, Hope the surgery goes well and enjoy the haunting!
Wife is home now and all hopped up on pain meds, but feeling significantly better. Thanks for all the well wishes, goat sacrifices, virgin sacrifices, and virgin goat sacrifices. I think the virgin goat sacrifice is what helped the most.
I hope I did the virgin goat sacrifice properly: I was supposed to take the goat’s virginity before I scarificed it, right?
I am glad your wife is doing well. You guys have a great haunted house coming along. You must have been collecting all that stuff for years!
Moggie: no, you take the goats virginity after you sacrifice it, at least one of us did it right.
No stealing the wifey’s drugs, guys. No matter how good they make you feel. That calm, relaxing sensation, like you’re floating on clouds made of boobs… it’s just not worth stealing her drugs!
what, no gay penguins?
I mean this is the heart of one of the most homophobic religious organizations, the scariest thing they’ll see is a happy gay couple.
I think the spirit form of Mike should also make a cameo….but keep him away from the penguins. No species on species action for the kiddies.
Chuck –
Thanks for letting us know that your wife is OK. Best wishes.
I hope this doesn’t destroy your faith………the goat was not a virgin. Not that I knew the goat personally …like in the bibical way, I just know goats…….and not in that way either. I mean, you know the term “you old goat”. Did I dig a deep enough hole?
Hope all goes well with your wife’s surgery.
How did you convince the Prophet and Revelator to pose in your recliner?
The fuck is my goddamn podcast? If you don’t put it out within the next week I’ll go over there and kill your wife.
@ Where’s my prop 8?: Not happy. Seriously not OK or even near funny. We all wish Chuck’s wife and his family and friends the best in this stressful time. In case you posted this comment in a drunken state or a fit of pique, I think all Irreligiosophites would really appreciate you withdrawing it and apologising to Chuck’s wife, his kids, and Chuck and Leighton. Fuck you. If you think I’m all sorts of uptight for no reason, then feel free to tell me to chillax. In response, I’ll tell you to not be an arsehole.
The fuck is my goddamn podcast? If you don’t put it out within the next week I’ll go over there and kill your wife.
Ah, the internet. Home to douchebags who hide behind anonymity to look tough by threatening a woman recuperating from major surgery. Never change.
I don’t mean to alarm you or cause any additional stress, but lack of irreligiosophy has forced me to start listening to Chariots of Iron. Do you see what you make me do? Are you happy now?
@ Where’s my prop 8: WTF? If that was an attempt at humor, you totally misfired. Poor taste, dude.
The haunted house looks properly scary! And best wishes to your wife, Chuck.
Chuck you should put up ‘Where’s my prop 8’s’ email so when can send him spam
It’s a fake email address. The ip is probably also spoofed, but for what it’s worth: 60.160.78.234
Yea it’s coming up with a address in China lol Yuannan province to be specific
Panda Dick of The Week?
To tide myself over in between podcasts, I’ve been running nekked up and down the Interstate every morning. Those truck drivers sure are nice.
I NEED MOAR IRRELIGIOSOPHY PODCASTS! I’M STARVING….
Are we having a troll infestation?
Dr Morrisson, I hope Mrs Morrisson will be well enough to enjoy the haunting on Halloween.
oh boy, without the podcast I feel like a priest being raped by an alter boy – something is just not right!
Hey that’s creepy-looking stuff! Looks REAL! lol! Congrats to your wife’s health and all. Can you guys, when you get back to podcasting, please, please, please try to interview Sam Harris?
“The fuck is my goddamn podcast?”
Ahem, “your” podcast? WTF makes you think it’s “your” podcast? WTF makes you think that Chuck and/or Leighton, or anyone else for that matter, owes you anything aside from a swift kick in the ass. If it’s “your” podcast then I highly suggest that you quit bitching and moaning and get to work on “your” podcast.
“If you don’t put it out within the next week I’ll go over there and kill your wife.”
I’d be will to wait a few more weeks for a new podcast just to piss you off.
All the best to you and your family, Chuck. I would express my wishes for a new episode soon, but I think that troll poisoned the well for the rest of us new podcast hopefuls. In the meantime, I will continue listening to the archives.
Archive binge–not a bad idea.
I know the first episode I’m going to listen to again.
*Delves straight into LDS Advice for Young Males*
We have the Kali worship coming up and I need to go all the way to make some special sacrifices for your wife. I am sure it will be covered under the first amendment.
Best wishes and we will wait a few more weeks before complaining to FCC.
