22. The Kids Are Asleep Holiday Special (Holidays) by The Kids Are Asleep published on 2021-04-26T22:11:55Z The gang has been playing Mario Kart. When it comes to holidays, Tim and Sara remark on how surreal Christmas during COVID is, but Dan got real corny this season. Tim experiences Jewish holidays as a gentile-in-law, and everybody hates Easter. Sara brings up the Fourth of July, or “Summer Christmas,” Dan says historical materialism has led him to unironically enjoy America’s Birthday, and everyone likes blowing shit up. Finally, there’s Saint Patrick’s Day and the family-friendly debauchery of the South Side Irish Parade. Then the pod has to come to an end, because Ben starts yelling about Sweetest Day.
