As a young boy alone, listening to the radio I used to love the episodes when radio hosts would go on holiday vacation and have a fill in. So I started having my two friends Ben Snure and Jonathan Porter on and we’d fool around for a Black Friday show. We should be having Thanksgiving with our families and were recording a podcast instead. Perfect. This is the 3rd year of this tradition and unfortunately JP was having Technical issues that made him have to bow out this year. He was missed and we’ll figure something out soon. In the meantime Ben and I had a great time telling stories and dissecting crazy stories about Black Friday shopping. If you are not familiar with Black Friday Sales, theres a long history of Stores opening up early, slashing prices and making customers have totally outrageous behavior. We covered lots of human depravity looking for a sale. Sheesh. It was fun tho. Ben is always good on the mic and we had a blast. Thanks again and support small business this year. Thanks again- GF
