Welcome to the Judge John Hodgman podcast.

I'm bailiff, Jesse Thorne.

It's the Judge John Hodgman holiday party in the members-only mailbag this year.

Meow, meow, meow, meow, meo-meo, meo-mial.

Members only, members only, members are the memo mailbag.

Yeah, that's right.

It's our members-only mailbag that we send out to members-only,

members of Maximum Fund, that is, thank you for supporting us. And by the way, if you're listening to

this and you're not a member, it's like, what's going on? Is this some kind of, some kind of holiday

miracle? It's a holiday molecule, everybody, because we're releasing our annual holiday office

party slash listener potluck to you, even the non-members, as a special piece of non-coal

in your stocking. Maybe it'll be encouraged to become a member once the Max Fund Drive comes around this spring,

because after all, members get so much, including a monthly annual members-only mailbag

where me and Jesse and Jennifer Marmer are all looking so dapper for the holidays, get together,

and we just read your letters, and we have have it's a much more low-key experience

wouldn't you say like the kids say jesse loki i mean that's not what they that's not how they

use the phrase loki but they do say low-key yes loki loki loki the god of mischief that's what

they're talking about right in very It's very famous Norse mythology.

Okay.

It's all right for us to just turn to dust.

Oh, hang on.

Hang on.
