It’s A Merry Christmas In Boise For Everyone Except One Person

We absolutely adore spending time in Boise around the holidays. There are Christmas lights as far as the eye can see. Folks are in the giving spirit and being kind to one another. There's a giant potato being hoisted up ready to drop for the new year. You know, the typical Boise stuff.

And we wish you and your loved ones nothing but peace, love, health and safety this holiday season. You mean so much to us, and we're glad you're here.

Well, except for this guy.

We hope that Santa simply skips this person's house this year when dropping presents down the chimney. Who's that person in question? That's right:

Everyone knows this guy. He's always selling some fragrance that would smell terrible on you, or some shoe-cleaning product that clearly doesn't work, or some handmade trinket that you may have actually been interested in had he not shoved it in your face while you're listening to Megan Thee Stallion.

They can clearly see you have headphones on and are in the groove. Does that stop them from a harassment-level approach while they try to sell you something you 100% do not want or need? No. No it does not.

Now, we want everyone to be able to succeed at their job and get paid. However, mall kiosk workers, please understand that headphones are the universal language for "Nope. Not today. You don't want this smoke."

Happy holidays, Merry Christmas, and leave me alone. I'm trying to finish this podcast about the history of one of the guys who worked on the Titanic.
