Not done listening, but my brain segfaulted.
Jan 1 is the 8th day but no deliveries that day. However, on Jan 2 Samantha got double (for yesterday and today) but she only got 8 maids a-milking. She should have also gotten the 9 lords a-leaping, but they didn't come until tomorrow, Jan 3, the 10th day.
EDIT:
Finished listening, turns out I was very close to the end, Alasdair had a huge outro... And no episode feedback...
Anyway, the abrupt ending shocked me for a second, but it's actually the best way to end it.
The story was uninspiring and in my opinion, uninspired. I really want to think that this story was chosen for its theme and not its content. The idea is funny, but it's a one joke story and that got old very quickly. The long drawn out story got me to really feel for Samantha, but not because of empathy. I was feeling frustrated and exasperated too.
The ending was the best part, because that was well done (not just because it was the ending). What happened next? Did Dodecker track her and complete his nefarious scheme? Did Samantha and Liam live happily ever after? I don't care. I heard the joke, smiled at the punchline, now it's time to move on to episode feedback- oh no, we didn't get that this week. Nathan must be busy impersonating Santa's elf somewhere....
