Summary

"My Season of Regifting" is classic Daniel Tosh: irreverent, self-aware, and brutally funny. He serves up pop culture critiques, domestic anecdotes, and a delightfully unhinged regifting tradition. The episode’s energy peaks with an absurd parade of unwanted (and sometimes barely usable) presents, before winding down with a wink to listeners about the futility and comedy of holiday customs. Equal parts roast and homage, it’s a holiday episode only Daniel Tosh could deliver.
