- One Question Line - "Where you, yes you, are granted the opportunity to ask one question...but one question only. Don't start your questions with 'Can you tell me..., Do you know..., I was wondering..., or My question is...' We reserve the right to end any call at any time for any reason." - Brian Nelson

- Fan Letters - Listeners are given the opportunity to send in stories on various themes throughout the year. These range from Bad Break-up stories, lawn care disaster stories, home improvement gone wrong, bad camping experiences, Christmas time horror stories, and more. Every entry that is read on the show gets put into a hopper. At the end of the reading session (which usually lasts one week with two sets of stories over the course of one morning) one letter is selected at random to receive a grand prize that usually has something to do with the theme of the stories sent in. For example, when the camping stories were read in June 2006, the grand prize winner received a GPS navigation unit and Binoculars. Every entry that is read also receives a small prize as well.
