The Moth
The Moth Radio Hour: The Pursuit of Happiness

And that year, about a couple months before Christmas, I called Kirk and I said, hey, your sisters and I are wondering, Christmas is coming up, and we're wondering if there's anything special that you would like to have for Christmas. And he said, I want to have sex. I said, sex? Sex is not a Christmas present. Videos and stinky cologne and sweaters and shit you don't need, that's Christmas.

So I talked to my friends.
