Hey Smarties, it's Kimberly. Black Friday is this week, which means we are getting into the height

of the holiday shopping season, even though it seems to have lasted forever. Anyway, if you've

ever wondered where this mega shopping holiday even comes from, you may have a kid in your life

who's wondering about that too. So today we are bringing you an episode from the latest season

of Marketplaces

Million Bazillion on the real origins of Black Friday and how a football game in Philadelphia

led to one of the biggest shopping days of the year. Plus, stick around for tips on how to

shop smarter during the holiday season. All right, here's the show.

Hey, listeners.

Welcome to a very special crossover episode of Million Bazillion and Forever Ago.

That means we've teamed up with the team at Forever Ago, and together we're going to tell you all about Black Friday, one of the most famous shopping days of the year.

We're so glad you're here. Now,

let's get to the episode. Hmm, where should we hang the garland? What do you think Ryan Perez,

Million Bazillion's host, Extraordinaire? Well, Joy Dolow, legendary host of Forever

Ago. What if we put it over the window? Or we could hang it in the doorway.

Excellent idea, Bridget Bodner, Million Bazillion's other equally fantastic host.

Hi Joy. Hi Ryan. Hi Bridget.

Hey Petra, my latest superstar co-host of Forever Ago? Perfect timing.

Would you mind helping me, Joy Dololo, Irreplaceable Host of Forever

Ago, and Ryan Perez and Bridget Bodner, uber talented hosts of Million Bazillion, hang up this garland?

Sure, I'll help you, but why are you saying their names like that? With titles and everything,

we all know each other. We literally all just had Thanksgiving dinner together.
