Email of Interest from Eastern Europe for November 26th, 2024 · The Radio From Hell Show - Best Of

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Now I have for you here an email of interest
• 0:04
  from Eastern Europe.
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: Eastern Europe, yes.
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: Not specific as to where in Eastern Europe it is,
• 0:12
  but a pretty interesting email, all right for that, Sarah,
• 0:17
  dear Bill writing to you from Eastern Europe, where my
• 0:20
  wife and I just landed a few days ago. It's
• 0:23
  been over a decade since my last correspondence, which you
• 0:28
  read on the air at the time see below, and
• 0:31
  he's included with the one he wrote ten years ago,
• 0:34
  and I'll read that as well. My wife, whose job
• 0:37
  has led us here, is unpacking in the other room,
• 0:40
  listening to the latest episode of Radio from Hell Overhearing
• 0:43
  it just now, I felt compelled once again write to
• 0:46
  say that it has long been the sound of home
• 0:49
  for me and has now become the same for her. She,
• 0:53
  a New Jersey native who probably seldom had entertained even
• 0:56
  a passing thought of Utah until she met me, has
• 0:59
  been a race video from hell Attic since I introduced
• 1:02
  her to it several years back. I dare say she
• 1:05
  is now probably more conversant in Utah happenings and culture,
• 1:09
  thanks to you, than most of my kith and kin
• 1:11
  still based in Utah. In any event, I figured I'd
• 1:15
  reach out for a long overdue Hello, Yeah what from
• 1:19
  Afar and to assure you that, no matter what the
• 1:22
  man tells you, Radio from Hell would thrive in East
• 1:26
  coast markets, and perhaps even Eastern European ones will be
• 1:30
  working on that. In the meantime. If you end up
• 1:32
  reading this on the air, please tell Tina that I
• 1:35
  love her. We're glad Radio from Hell can be a
• 1:38
  slice of home for both of us now wherever we go.
• 1:42
  Sincere's best to the three of you. A fan since childhood,
• 1:45
  Gavin and you want me to read the letter that
• 1:48
  he wrote ten years ago, Bill, I've been meaning to
• 1:51
  write for some time. I wanted to tell you that
• 1:53
  somehow your voice and those of Radio from Hell in general,
• 1:56
  have become the sound of home, especially this past Almost
• 2:01
  a year ago, I summitted Mount Kilimanjaro. The final ascent
• 2:07
  is grueling, dark march in the snow and the cold.
• 2:10
  The guides recommend bringing along an iPod and playing something
• 2:15
  during those long hours with little scenery, until the cold
• 2:19
  took my iPod altogether. My spirits were high and I
• 2:22
  forgot the windburn. Thanks to some old episodes of Radio
• 2:25
  from Hell over four years ago, I moved with my
• 2:28
  wife to the East Coast from Salt Lake City, and
• 2:31
  as you know, there's a loneliness in getting used to
• 2:33
  new places. But the podcasts were always how we kept
• 2:36
  up with goings on in Utah, and it made it
• 2:38
  seem not so far away. Several months back my marriage ended.
• 2:43
  There were some extremely dark days and the business or
• 2:45
  the loneliness was unbearable, but Radio from Hell helped cut
• 2:49
  through the heavy and get me laughing again. This is
• 2:52
  a really long way of saying that ever since I
• 2:55
  used to pee myself laughing at Dingo Boy as a
• 2:57
  ten year old kid, the show You Guys has been
• 3:00
  a familiar fixture for me. As silly as it sounds,
• 3:04
  many people in your audience feel that they know you.
• 3:07
  You've spoken to them as often as their family. And
• 3:11
  it's just a show. But you know your day to
• 3:13
  day grind, you know that. But I wanted you to
• 3:15
  know that it's meant a lot to me and to
• 3:18
  have a little taste of home, a little familiarity and
• 3:21
  a little frivolity in the hard, lonely moments, you know,
• 3:24
  the last twenty years of my life. I hope you've
• 3:26
  got twenty more in you, whatever the medium, I'll tune
• 3:29
  in my heart felt best. Gavin, Well, so he wrote that.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: Ten years ten years?
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: So what really? Yeah? No, I don't, Gavin, I don't don't.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: I don't want to. I don't want to speak for Bill,
• 3:41
  but I don't.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: Think ten years from now.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: It could be. Tina Turner was still going strong, Bill,
• 3:53
  take your medication. Here's the thing. I'm gonna have to
• 3:59
  do it for more years, all right, because they're going
• 4:02
  to take away my social security? What have I got?
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: Well? And see my thought is is it's been.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: Putting into that since nineteen eighty two and it's going
• 4:12
  to be gone.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: See my thought on that is, I don't want to
• 4:14
  let Gavin down, but I don't want to let you
• 4:17
  guys down either. So if you guys can keep me
• 4:20
  alive that long, I'll do it.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: We're going to hook you, after all.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: If you got some machines and stuff, you know, plug
• 4:28
  me in.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: I'm beyond machines. I'm moving to the occult.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: That's the way we're going to do it.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: Okay, listen, I'll take it.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: Machines are expensive. The occult can go to a library.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: Okay, listen, I'll take you. I saw that movie. Heretic. Yes,
• 4:42
  and people will pray if people want to pray for me.
• 4:46
  I don't believe in prayer, but if people want to
• 4:48
  pray for me, thanks for doing it. It can't hurt.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: You can't hurt.
