152! Hitting the Breaks and Hanukkah Retail

How do we take a break? And why is the average American retailer so bad at Hanukkah? [26:29]

This week, Joey, Jess and Aaron talk about the feeling of wasted opportunity, the down-shift, accounting for transitional time, Hanukkah ignorance, the secularization of holidays, and uniquely designed menorahs. They don’t talk about HAIM and/or Adam Sandler.
