Theo Von hosts this Friday episode from December 18, 2020, weaving time, holidays, and gratitude into a loose, intimate monologue. He muses that even sitting still, you’re traveling through time, then riffs on Christmas sounds, nostalgia, and the idea that some people are “soft batch” while others stay solid. He recalls a Bowling Green, Kentucky trip, buying time with a hotel stay during COVID, and a cashier’s odd line about having “used to be in a wheelchair,” using the moment to reflect on vulnerability as a human connection.
He shares a cave excursion in Kentucky that turns out to be a hollowed-out landfill, illustrating entrepreneurial spirit and the odd places life can take you. He promotes a January 15 live show, Theo and Tammy’s Belated Christmas Talent Extravaganza, with Chelsea Lynn; tickets are ten dollars and the event will stream with sketches, live talent, and music.

Kenny from Portland and Melissa from Houston express thanks and warmth; Dan Laganna offers help, and multiple callers discuss the power of giving and feeling seen.
