Mr. Q is back with more paraphernalia from the Archie McPhee Archives! In this episode, you can see everything from pink and yellow walking monsters to a pink ball with a human mouth and feed.

You might think that they're pretty out there, but...

In this episode we discuss our new candy cane tasting video, Shana gives Heff and David a new Archie McPhee shirt and creepy mannequins are following Heff all over the building. In other words, just another day at Archie McPhee. Thank for listening! Here's the tasting video discussed in the episode. Watch as our new employees try Hamdy Canes, Kale Candy...

  Truth be told, the employees at Archie McPhee probably aren't the best people to do a taste test of any kind of weird candy.
