Notes

• This episode won the Best Short Form Audio Drama award at the 1st annual Audio Theatre Central Seneca Awards, held on July 27, 2018.
• This episode was originally recorded with a different actor for Wilson Knox. In post-production, they recast the role with Gregory Jbara, and re-recorded Wilson's lines. A deleted scene with the original actor can be heard as a bonus feature in this album.

Goofs

• Both Jason and James Churchill call J and J Antiques “J and J’s Antiques,” although previously, the name has never been possessive. (This is a recurring goof, also found in #826: “Find a Penny, Part 1” and #827: “Find a Penny, Part 2”).

Quotes

Quinton Tolliver: This is what I think of his gift!
Jason Whittaker: Hey you're a guest here! You need to calm down!

---

Jason Whittaker: I just decided this is more important.
John Whittaker: What made you change your mind?
Jason Whittaker: I just dealt with two men. One who when his father was alive he wouldn't have spent five minutes with him. The other who would give up a vast fortune just to have 5 more minutes with his dad. And I also saw a calendar with three father son fishing dates on it, all cancelled by the son for no good reason.
John Whittaker: And just where did you see this calendar?
Jason Whittaker: It's a long story. Let's just say it made me realize I've been neglecting one of the most important things in my life. Spending time with you. I'm really sorry for that Dad.
