| 0:00.0 | Oh yeah, what's up, side hustlers. So glad you're here. My name is Chris Gellibot. The program is |
| 0:09.3 | Side Usual School. It comes out every single day, seven days a week, for 1,400 and 14 days |
| 0:15.1 | in counting. Presumably, we'll make it through 1,415 since that's what I'm recording right now. |
| 0:20.5 | But you never know. I don't count it until it's done. Well, let's talk today about subscription boxes. |
| 0:25.9 | Now over the years, we have featured a lot of different subscription boxes, including face masks |
| 0:30.7 | from Korea, candy from Japan, coffee, tea, beer, probably some other beverages from all sorts of places, |
| 0:39.0 | care packages for military spouses. That was called the Brave Box or the Brave Crate, if I'm not mistaken. |
| 0:45.6 | We've also had, I'm just going to call it, items for consenting adults. We probably had some |
| 0:50.4 | others as well. Those are just the ones I found when I looked quickly through the archives. |
| 0:54.4 | And then looking online, I also saw the Louisville Vegan Jerky of the Month Club. Pretty specific |

| 1:05.3 | box for your parrot. Now that one just sounds amazing. We're going to have to reach out to them and |
| 1:09.0 | feature them on the program. I also might order that for myself even though I don't have a parrot. |
| 1:13.7 | Now to all of these, we can now add the Shabbat subscription box. After dropping off supplies to |
| 1:18.6 | help friend celebrating Shabbat by Zoom, you know, this virtual world that we're all in now, |
| 1:23.1 | the marketing specialist in today's story creates a subscription box to reach others with the |
| 1:27.5 | Jewish Day of Rest. That's what we're going to look at in this story. And just as a note, the |
| 1:32.4 | side hustler in this story prefers the use of they or their pronouns instead of he or she. |
| 1:37.9 | So that's what I'll use when referring to them. All right, stay tuned. That story's coming up in |
| 1:42.5 | just 30 seconds. Nothing's more British than a copper and a biscuit. Take in a 15 minute break to |
| 1:50.8 | reset, recharge and feel better. But the perfect break needs the perfect biscuit. |
| 1:58.0 | And let's be honest, as the original and the best, only a MacVitties one will do. |
