My brother works for the humane society. The Jewish members of the staff work on Christmas in exchange for being off for Yom Kippor. I LOVE the script idea.
Oh My Gosh what a great, timely, sweet, helpful and THANKFUL podcast!!!! The podcast was touching and so relevant for these times! I wondered what could possibly cheer me up and your podcast hit a grand slam (sports metaphor in case you wondered). Great tips, nice songs, FABULOUS boys, especially the outtakes. Not sure, but I think you can still ride around in your car while sheltering, just don’t get out til you get home–if anything else, take the long way home from shopping to see the lights. I’m guessing it was your birthday recently, so HAPPY BIRTHDAY. I bet your Mom thinks you are the best and handsomest son ever. By the way, am I the millionth person to tell you that you spelled below incorrectly?? (The embedded player for the episode is bellow the links)
Fun as always episode. Love the 20 second singing.
Tim, thanks again for all the work you do into making the podcast a reality. I used to work for healthcare at a university hospital and would work on Christmas day. I didn’t mind because we would go to church on Christmas eve, open presents on Christmas morning and then I would work from 2-10pm. The hospital staff would get a free meal compliments of the hospital admin, so it was always a good time. Plus getting 2.5 times the pay was greatly appreciated.
