He was one of the last guys in line, sort of a decrepit old fella.

And he said, you know,

I loved Heart-Shaped Box so much, and your dad's books have meant so much to me, and I just wanted to give you something to express that, how much those books meant to me.

And he lifted up this leather bag, it looked like a doctor's bag, and I accepted, I said, thank you, and I opened it, and this stink just rolled out like there was, you know...

I don't know, like a rotten piece of meat in it or something like that, and a chemical odor as well.

And I said, what is this?

And he said, my dad embalmed people for 40 years, and that was his bag.

That was the bag he did for his work.

And I was like, boy, you shouldn't have.

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

And I will say that I had him chuck it as soon as I left the thing.

I'm not bringing...

fucking bag like that on an airplane?

You know, one thing, speaking of grotesque gifts, you know, disturbing gifts, John Wayne Gacy sent my dad some art.

back in the day from prison and actually i found that so disturbing that's in the first paragraph of heart-shaped box yes you know that kind of hung in my mind because the other thing is is gacy wasn't terrible i mean he was obviously terrible i can't underline enough how terrible he was well he was a funny guy yeah he was a funny guy we've already singled it out you're screwed

Yeah, that's got to be the clip to sell this episode.

John Wayne Gacy was pretty good.

You know, but he did.

A real mushroom.
