Many of us grew up with an A-symmetrical belief system. We were so worried about being good, as to not miss out on receiving toys from Santa. However, if we weren’t so good, the worst-case scenario was a bit of coal in our stocking. Now, if you grew up in Central Europe, your belief system may have been skewed the other way. If you were good, you may be rewarded with a handful of treats, but if you were bad, you could be dragged to the depths of hell and tortured for eternity by an angry demon. Just saying, but it feels as if the reward does not outweigh the risk in the later situation.
Join your hosts, Dan, Travis and Alan as they dive into the Legend of Krampus and try to decipher what is folklore and what is enhanced commercialized story telling. Nevertheless, before they dig into the history books, the guys will talk about what their best and worst Christmas gifts growing up were. The guys may need to go see a therapist after this conversation. Anyway, stay safe, be good and avoid a very scary Christmas by listening now!
- (07:29) Quick Question: What are the best and worst Christmas presents you’ve received?
- (27:34) The Legend of Krampus!

From time to time, the Q Code Podcast will drop a Bonus Episode we deem to be called Dream-isodes. These Dream-isodes will give you unadulterated access into the subconscious mind of host Dan. He will dream it, dictate it, then hosts Travis and Alan will read it on air! If you’re up for a wild and unpredictable adventure, be sure not to miss out on the release of these crazy yet fun episodes.
Dan has introduced a new wrinkle into the Dream-isode landscape. From time to time we will release a Dream Snips Collection, which is a series of shorter, but just as entertaining dreams, straight from the crazy recesses of Dan mind! Here’s a quick blurb of what you can expect in this volume:
Dream Snip #7: In the seventh snippet, join Dan as he is forced from his graduation ceremony at the school of “Counterfeit Money Detection”, located in the heart of Salt Lake City. Sadly, he’s cast out, not by just one, but two giant incoming tsunamis! Follow Dan, as he frantically runs through the streets of SLC in search of a safe haven. Of course, saving himself is not enough, he must also find a way to safe a woman and her child from an evil business owner, during the aftermath of this catastrophic anomaly. Will he escape the rushing waters in time? Can he afford to house a mother and her daughter?
Dream Snip #8: In the eighth snippet, catch up with Dan as he peruses the aisles of an old VHS rental store, located in the back of a coffee shop. What will he rent, before he goes home to store more boxes in his basement? Hold on tight, as you’ll be surprised what else he finds in his basement. Let’s just say a urine-soaked rug leads him on a journey involving homeless people, laughing cart-wheel loving cat-foxes, hidden tunnels, secret portals and of course, Catfish Dragons. Will he make it out of the basement alive?
Dream Snip #9: In the ninth and final snippet of the episode, Dan finds himself back in high school once again. As usual, things can’t just go smoothly, as he is forced to investigate a series of purple smoke poofs. Things take a turn for the worst when he discovers these poofs are creating evil little gremlins that are ransacking the school. Unfortunately, one of these foul beasts does end up cornering Dan for a while. Luckily, this time was not spent in vain, as Dan learns that the gremlins grow taller and taller the longer, they’re alive. Will he be able to use this new found knowledge against them in an effort to rid the city of this strange purple haze epidemic?

He will dream it, dictate it, then hosts Travis and Alan will read it on air!

This time join Dan, as he vacations in a nice Air B&B with his family, only to find out that his wife had been hiding crabs in their draws the whole time! These aren’t just any ordinary crabs. They are alien crabs, with the ability to shape shift into any size, shape and color. Without further delay, he must recruit his brother Steve, to help him destroy these alien crabs before it’s too late. Will they get the job done in time, or will the shape shifters from space get the better of them?
After the debacle with the alien crabs, Dan is then asked by a pool repair man friend, if he’d like to help him on a special job. Not being one to disappoint, he not only volunteers himself, but his brother and wife as well. If this isn’t intriguing enough to get you to listen, how would you feel if tiny pandas, a 20-foot-tall man and a 50-foot-deep replica of Lake Powell were all somehow involved? Don’t waste another minute, listen before the crabs get you!

Have you ever thought about, what size box would be required to pack everyone in the world inside and ship them off? Well, probably not. Luckily, host Dan is not most people. His brain is constantly taking random tangents that lead us toward odd math equations in order to figure stuff like this out. Bet your curiosity is piqued now.
Anyway, a question you probably have thought about is, what did people do for fun before you were born? How about hundreds of years ago? If you’re anything like Alan, you’d probably find life before the digital age extremely boring. However, Dan and Travis try their best to explain, things that entertain us today are not all that different from things that entertained us centuries ago. The main difference is the medium in which these things are presented on.
Finally, Travis will tell us about the crazy Dell Schanze and his Totally Awesome Computers. What kinds of escapades took this man from being a successful business owner to an unwanted outcast? Guess you’ll have to press play on your totally awesome device to find out!
