In a moment, we're going to get into this week's

0:39.1

episode of Mr. and Mrs. North. I do want to encourage you if you are enjoying the podcast to please

0:44.9

follow us using your favorite podcast software. As I said yesterday, this is not a Christmas episode,

0:52.7

as there is no Mr. and Mrs. North Christmas episode available.

0:57.2

That is a shame because after hearing what they did with Columbus Day, I'm sure their Christmas

1:03.5

special would have been with gusto.

1:05.7

And when a make-believe was over,

2:43.1
