According to Radio legend Paul Harvey, who retold this parable every Christmas for decades, “The story was originally published by United Press International by Louis Cassels, a longtime friend of mine and colleague.

S2 E5: Aaron's Movie Marathoners Appearance
7 Minute Stories w/ Aaron Calafato
09/30/21 • 9 min
Today's episode features a 7 Minute Segment from an appearance Aaron made on the Movie Marathoners Podcast. Marathoners is a fellow member of the Evergreen Podcast Network.
You can find full episodes of Movie Marathoners on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
We start this episode in the midst of Aaron and Marathoners host Matti reviewing the 90s classic Rookie of the Year, one of Aaron's favorites. Matti tells Aaron that movies like Rookie of the Year tend to be comfort films and do very little to make sense of their fairytale. Aaron, of course, takes this a little too seriously and tries to explain the deeper emotional impact of the film. He goes on to talk about the movie The Sandlot, The Great Babino, and Aaron's dream scenario as a professional baseball player.

The Problem with Using '90s Commercials as a Sleep Aid
7 Minute Stories w/ Aaron Calafato
05/15/25 • 9 min
Aaron Calafato thought he’d finally cracked the code on curing his late-night insomnia—with the help of a few nostalgic commercials from the 1980s and ’90s. But what worked like melatonin for him caused chaos in his wife’s sleeping habits.
