The world is full of stories, stories of mysteries, of curiosities, of oddities.

Join Pat and Jethro Gilligan-Toth for a strange, the bizarre, the unexpected,

as they lift the lid and cautiously peer inside the box of oddities.

It's the 18th of December. We're recording this on Sunday before Christmas and I'm proud to say

that about an hour ago, I actually ordered your Christmas present.

Oh really?

Yeah. My method has developed over the years because I tend to want to give you the present

as soon as it's in the house. So I'm waiting until the last minute to order. That way,

hopefully, as long as there's not a delay in the mail, your present will show up and I can hold

off for a day or two before I give it to you. I can't imagine why that would be a problem for you.

That seems silly.

Says the woman who makes me open everything she gets for me the day she gets it.

Yeah, that's me. I hope you like it though.

I do. You had a painting created based on a painting we saw at a hotel in Washington,

DC on our honeymoon. I liked it. It was very abstract. So I took a picture of it with my phone.

And I used it as my wallpaper for a while on my phone. You commissioned somebody to recreate it

and it's beautiful.
