RE: Elvis Presley & Christmas Surprise
Dec 22, 2021Tap to summarizeDear Pennies & Pallers, First, a Pen Pal writes about their love for Elvis Presley, and asks how we want to be remembered when we’re gone. In this week’s second letter, a Pen Pal debates whether or not he should surprise his mother with a Christmas visit, given his mother’s schedule as a nurse and his own medical issues. We also discuss: the origins of Boxing Day, hologram Frank Sinatra, rock documentaries, buying Cameos to plug Pen Pals, and more. We wish you well, sincerely, Your Pen Pals Daniel Van Kirk & Rory ScovelSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
