  • Zeus's Call to Action: Zeus might have skipped the script, but he's making up for it with a holiday giveaway! Share your holiday tradition for a chance to win a $50 gift card. Send your entries to zeus@firesidefolklorewithhades.com.
  • Enter & Win: A random draw will decide who gets to enrich our next episode with their holiday cheer, while we enrich theirs with a $50 gift card. Remember, the more entries we receive, the luckier you'll have to be!
  • Brotherly Banter: A spontaneous toast from Hades, and Zeus's commitment to being the podcast's occasional thunderbolt.
  • Look Forward: The next episode on December 29 will unveil the winner and their favorite holiday tradition, whether that be building a snow Hercules or lounging on the sands of the Caribbean. Though Hades swore upon the River Styx (in Episode 13A) that there would be "Buried Treasure" from Mexico, Zeus will find a way to slip in some holiday cheer! 
Transcript

Zeus: Psst, listeners. Since Hades did the podcast without us, I didn't get a chance to look at the script. But I couldn't leave you high and dry without a lightning round. So, since the winter solstice episode is coming around the holidays, how about this? Write out your favorite holiday tradition, and send it to me at zeus@firesidefolklorewithhades.com. I'll pick one listener at random to receive a 50$ gift card to the vendor of your choice. Your odds will be entirely based on how many entries I get. I'll share your holiday tradition when we next meet on December 29, along with your first name or pseudonym. Happy holidays, listeners, and never stop exploring! Gotta go before Hades drinks all of my favorite rum! 

Hades: Ah, there you are, brother! I thought you might want to enjoy a toast! 

Zeus: A toast? Erm, oh yes, of course! 

[Hades pops open the rum and pours two glasses.] 

Hades: To another year of laughter, folklore, and brotherly love. 

[The sound of clinking glasses as the brothers toast.] 

Zeus: Indeed. It's been a pleasure working on this podcast with you. 

Hades: So does this mean you'll finally want to be a host? 

Zeus: Oh no! I'd much rather breeze in whenever I please. 

Hades: Hmpf! Some things never change. 
[Happy Caribbean music plays.] 

Zeus: Well listeners, before Hades gets any grumpier, I'm going to whisk him away and ensure that he gets into the spirit of the winter celebrations. Happy holidays to you, and we'll see you next time!

[Caribbean music continues until its conclusion.]
