Gifts Galore From September 16th, 2026 · The Radio From Hell Show - Best Of

• 0:01
  Speaker 1: All right, so this giant package has been sitting here,
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: and then magically three smaller packages appeared.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: I guess you had them in the producer's booth, Dawson? Yeah,
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: they came in Monday.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: Okay, so let's tackle... So this is different from these. Yeah,
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: let's tackle these little ones first because I have an
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: email about it. It just came in.
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: Hello, Lords.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: Andrew in Arizona here. I know this has been a
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: stressful time for you all, not only because of the
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: world in general, but also the added headache of contractual situations.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: After six years of actively applying and interviewing, I finally
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: got the job I wanted, and I'm making enough money
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: to give back a little. So I wanted to send
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: you a little gift to show how much I appreciate
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: Radio From Hell and Geek Show. It's from Brawner's in Michigan.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: It's the largest Christmas store in the world. I know
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: it's a little early to start thinking about Christmas, but
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: I know how much peace Kerry gets from his Christmas tree.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: So I thought it was appropriate. It should be obvious
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: who gets which ornament. Bill was a little harder to
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: shop for. The closest they had to a bourbon ornament
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: was a bottle of Jack Daniels.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: So I went with a pickle instead. Oh, there it is.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: I really like it. Yeah, I have one of those.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: I thought so.
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: That's a Christmas tradition.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it said, my wife inherited from her German family,
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: when kids gather around the Christmas tree in the morning,
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: they search for the pickle ornament, which Santa hid the
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: night before, and the kid who finds the pickle gets
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: to open the first present. Anyway, thanks for everything. I
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: hope you get to continue doing the show as long
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: as you want to. Andrew from the chat, what was yours, Gina?
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: I got... Would you believe that I don't have one
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: of these?
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: A Diet Coke ornament?
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: A Diet Coke ornament. Can you believe I don't have one?
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: It could be that you didn't know they existed.
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: So that is perfect, Andrew. Thank you so much.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: And Carrie, what is it?
• 1:59
  Speaker 5: It's a box of cinnamon toast.
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: Oh, cool.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: That is sweet. That is really nice. I like that. Yeah,
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: those are nice. Thank you very much, Andrew, for in
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: the chat.
• 2:09
  Speaker 5: I want to show you something, though.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 2:12
  Speaker 5: On the logo.
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: Bronner's Christmas Wonderland. Christ is capitalized in the word Christmas.
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: Well, it's his birthday.
• 2:22
  Speaker 5: So they're letting you know.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: I forgot.
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: He's the reason for the season, Kerry.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: That's right.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: And now the big package, and there was a card
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: with it. It says, Hi, Kerry, Bill, and Gina. As
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: a born and raised Utahan, I grew up listening to
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: you all, so I was excited to have a chance
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: to reach out. I hope you enjoy these mugs. Kerry,
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: I know you said... I already got enough mugs. I do.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: So do I. But I thought you might get a
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: kick out of our animal-friendly idioms.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: I've been listening for as long as I can, as
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: long as I can remember, so it's a real pleasure
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: to connect with you from Wes and your friends at PETA.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: And there's a wonderful card here. It's got pigs on it.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: Adorable.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: And so I had reached out. So when they sent us,
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: we talked about the death of those naked mole rats
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: up in Logan. And PETA reached out to us and said,
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: we agree it was a horrible thing to do. And
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: thanks for talking about it, and thanks for being humane
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: with animals. And if you'd like, we'll send you each a,
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: I forget what the mug, it's got a cartoon rat
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: on it.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: Let's see, are they in there? Is there one there? Well,
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: there's an actual rat. Oh, yeah.
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: Oh, that's cool.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: I like that. I'll take that. All right.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: So I reached out to him and said, well, I'd
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: like one of those rat mugs just because my niece,
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: who lives in Chicago, loves rats. She's always been a ratist.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: And so what is that?
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: It's a.
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: There's some coffee.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: A whole pack. This is all and this is all
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: vegan stuff. Oh, here's the rat mug in here. Rats
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: have rights, it says on it. So I'll send that
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: mug to my niece. I'll keep the coffee and the
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: oat milk. I like oat milk.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: I have some in the refrigerator right now. Each mug
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: is different.
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: I got a horsey mug because I'm a horsey gal.
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: Mine says, feed two birds with one scone.
• 4:27
  Speaker 5: And let's see, holler mountain coffee. Looks like a Oh, Stumptown.
• 4:32
  Speaker 5: That's from Portland.
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: Oh, that's so nice of them.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: Stumptown Coffee.
• 4:37
  Speaker 5: Thank you. And Oatly Oatmeal.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Oatly's pretty good. I like it.
• 4:43
  Speaker 5: I'll have that with some Count Chocula today.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: This stuffed rat is also very nice. I think I'll
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: send that along to my niece as well.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: She's a rat person.
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: Oh, Wayfair has a bourbon ornament.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah? I wonder why the... Well, they.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: Because they're super Jesus Christmas plays.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, no. He said they had a
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: Jack Daniels ornament.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: Oh. And I don't particularly care for Jack Daniels. So
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: he must have known that as well.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: So there you go. Thanks for the gifts, everybody. Gifts
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: are not necessary.
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: He said that he got Katie a T-Rex ornament.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: Oh, cool. Oh, that's pretty big. It's a big one.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: Thanks for opening that, Dawson. Thank you, Dawson. Thank you all.
• 5:27
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: Oats don't have nipples. How do they get oat milk?
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: You know, it's really hard to milk a groat. That's
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: what I call just one piece of an oat. Let
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: me ask Kash Patel.
• 5:46
  Speaker 5: Maybe he knows.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: He has connections with those kind of people.
• 5:50
  Speaker 5: Apparently, yeah.
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: Dozens of them.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: Dozens.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: People wanting to join the FBI.
• 5:59
  Speaker 5: I went to Bronner's when I was in Michigan. It's
• 6:01
  Speaker 5: cool and creepy.
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: Cool and creepy.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah. What was creepy about it?
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: I get that feeling that it could... The creep potential
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: is definitely there for.
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: Kind of like a Hobby Lobby?
• 6:12
  Speaker 5: Kind of like that?
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it could be.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: Here's what it says on the back of this pig
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: card that they sent. Considered by animal behaviorists to be
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: even smarter than dogs, pigs are also friendly, loyal, and fun-loving.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: When not confined to factory farms, they spend hours... playing, sunbathing,
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: and I would also add taking mud baths whenever they can,
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: and exploring their surroundings with their powerful sense of smell.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: That's right. They use pigs for truffles. Truffle hunting.
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: There's a whole Nicolas Cage movie about that.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: It's called Pigs. Yeah.
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: Although they'll eat you.
• 6:52
  Speaker 5: They will.
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: They just as soon eat you.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: Given half a chance, a group of them might eat you.
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: They'd eat you.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Silence of the Lambs, I saw it. TV series.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: I really wish I didn't like bacon so much.
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: It would make things better.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry, PETA, for saying that. And I don't eat
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: it a lot, but a piece of bacon I can't
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: turn down usually. My wife sets bacon traps.
• 7:18
  Speaker 5: Bacon traps?
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: She's trying to catch you?
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: So what happens is she will have made herself a
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: breakfast of some sort involving bacon. And when I get home,
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: there on the counter will be sitting a plate with
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: maybe two or three pieces of bacon on it. And
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: I know that that's the bacon trap. I am meant
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: to spot it, smell it, and then eat it.
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: But then are you caught in a snare of some kind?
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: Not really. We just call it a bacon trap.
• 7:49
  Speaker 5: I don't think the word trap applies here.
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: I want you caught.
• 7:53
  Speaker 5: I think it's the.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: Gift of bacon. Yeah, it is the gift of bacon.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: I think she likes the word trap because she feels
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: as though she's tricked me into eating it somehow.
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: He can't resist this.
• 8:04
  Speaker 5: Tricked you into bacon.
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: Well, and it's all cooked and sitting there. I mean,
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: it'll go to waste if you don't eat it.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: It's really interesting, too. It can sit there for quite
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: a while and be cold, and it's still good.
• 8:16
  Speaker 5: Mm-hmm.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: Delicious. All right.
• 8:20
  Speaker 5: Let's take a break, play a song, and crawl towards
• 8:22
  Speaker 5: the exit.
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: And I'm very sorry, Peter. Again, this devolved into eating bacon.
• 8:26
  Speaker 5: Talking about bacon.
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: Very sorry. Very sorry.
