Since his death in 2009, the world has struggled with how Michael Jackson should be remembered, as the King of Pop, or as a monster. The new podcast Think Twice, Michael Jackson, offers a fresh perspective on the art and the artist, his life, his work, and his legacy. Listen to Think Twice, Michael Jackson, wherever you get your podcasts. Academy is a new scripted podcast that follows Ava Richards, a brilliant scholarship student attending Bishop Gray Academy, the country's most exclusive boarding school. Academy takes you into the world of a cutthroat private school where power, money, and sex

collide in a game of life and death. Binge all 10 episodes of Academy, early and ad-free on Wondering Plus.

Hey happy winter solstice guys you too. I said I'm Mary Chris must to you as well I you know, I still I've been here over a year and I still don't understand you're in ten months Yeah, I still don't understand all of the many different holidays that make up the winter solstice Well, we have a song about it. We're celebrating our Christmas, where Chris must do everything we ask him. Yeah, I know there's Chris must, but then there's also Gunderstein. Oh, yes, I love Gunderstein. There's also a Vila Peacateini. Vila Peacateini? Vila Peacateini.

Wow. Yes, it's more of a... It's a Southern tradition during the holiday season, where people have the foolish ills of... Filipini, they all get together and they drink... drinks with little umbrellas in them. Oh, wow, that sounds... That sounds very festive.

It is very festive. And they wear garlands made out of flowers and human ears. Oh, and there's Hwanaka? Hwanaka? Do you know Hwan? No. Oh, he's one of the cobblers. He has his book.

Oh, is this Tutou-Tutou-Tou-Tou-One? This is his brother. There's Hwan. There's Hwan. And yeah. Oh, and they're both name one? Hwan and Wwan. But I mean, million to one shot.

Yeah. That's the both name for one. Absolutely. Yeah. You know what? And also, you know, I feel like it's I haven't it really explained Earth holidays to you guys very well, but well you mentioned you have not yeah you mentioned What have you mentioned you mentioned there's that movie that you and your wife met at oh, it's a wonderful life Yeah, yeah is is a Christmas movie there's a crisp Not Chris must it's Christmas is a holiday on my world, and I you know, I miss a lot of people on my world this time of year

Oh, is there anything we can do to make you feel more Festive to whatever you need. Oh, why don't I Play this resonance stone that has a holiday song in it. Oh, all right. Yeah, and while we're listening to the song Uh-oh Arnie's underneath one of the stench berries What happens when you're under the stench berries? We have to kiss. Oh, okay, well that's not as bad as I thought it was gonna be. You have to kiss my butt.

Oh. Everyone, spans here the special presentation from the dwarfling choir of Melvange. I'll take it away, dwarflings. of Melvange. I'll take it away to watch things. Wait a minute, what's that? She said, a cup of cheer. Could you please explain? When you're here in the winter Sources you traditionally grab a cup of gin Incidentally a fold of what's that happiness That we like to have this time of year? Hold up, I said. I gotta ask, how'd you get happiness in that flash?

You never asked too many questions That's considered real this time of year It's best to join us in the winter soasters and blindly accept our cup of tea. Oh no, I don't trust that shit. How come no one's actually related to ranking it? We are friends of the winter soasters want to be polite and wait for you. If we started drinking our cups before you, this would be inherently very, very fine. I'll try to get if you drink it first, if you won't drink it then I'll know it's cursed.

Of course, indeed, we will definitely drink it. Here we go now, everyone. Bottoms up, we'll drink together. Come on, let's do it in three, two, one. Oh, look over there! What? What is it? Oh, what is it? I'm gonna look at that. You missed our drinking, and there's nothing left for us to drink. Oh look over there! What? What is it? Oh, where are you in the middle?

I don't know, right? It seems suspicious. Stay back! Stay back! What are you doing? You drink the wrong of the song. The flow of songs. Did you drink the cup of tea? Anyway, my soul is sucking out my soul.

Wow. That's one of my favorites. Wow, there's so many of the holiday songs in Fune are depressing if you listen to the lyrics. I guess sort of like the ones on earth. You know, it's depressing about that. Well, they seem like the person got their soul sucked out. Oh, yeah. I guess they did. I never really realized that.

I thought about that. You know, it's depressing about this time of year is I hate to bring it up, but I don't if I ever told you this, but around this time of year, maybe like 20 years ago or so, my grandma died, she got run over. Oh no. What did she get run over by? Sorry? What did she get run over by? By a cart.

Oh. What do you think she got run over by? What else would you get run over by? Who was pulling the cart? A reindeer. Hey, you know what? We don't have a presence or anything, but people have been shoving stuff through the, what? You don't have presence? I didn't. You know I got, youcks. Oh thank you thank

you Yusidor. Yeah thank you so much. We didn't know if you're like a hearing food when you get someone Socks is kind of a risky gift but yeah Socks and other clothing can be a risky business. You know sometimes if you're just in a shirt and underwear you know and you get someone sock it can just be yeah absolutely just slide across the floor totally. What? Nevermind. You know, sometimes if you're just in a shirt and underwear, you know, and you get someone talking, you can just be, yeah, absolutely. Just slide across the floor. Totally. What? Nevermind.

You know, we appreciate all the cool things we will be shoving through the portal to give to us. And I apologize that we can never mention all of the things. Although I think, Sean, you're going to put some of this stuff up on Instagram. Yes, I do. I got an Instagram account. I'm not sure what that is. But I will be putting up some using Arnie's phone. I'll be putting up some photos of

Packages that people send and you can follow that at chunt baby. Yeah, chunt baby on Instagram And guys I did actually get you a gift and it's a gift for our listeners Maybe something that's been requested a lot Minimor, Minimor, why don't you come in here? Okay, hello. Hey, Metamorph. Hello, Metamorph. Hey, everybody. Hope you guys are doing okay over here. Yeah. Yeah, you have a good season. Yeah, so far we're running a pretty cool campaign over there.

You probably heard the dice a Roland. Oh, yeah. For listeners who don't remember, Metamorph plays a role playing game called offices and bosses. Yeah, it's a fantasy role playing game. You work in an office and have a job, perhaps making copies or getting people coffee and it's lots of fun and we usually play in here at the tavern all the time.

It's wonderful, I love it. That's a super fun phrase you just said, making copies, making copies. That's a fun phrase, right? Yeah, I mean, it's just saying that, making copies. It's a kind of phrase right? I mean, it's just- I might start saying that. Make it a copy. It's a kind of phrase that's fun the first two or three times. I feel like I could invest in that phrase every week.

Three times is even pushing it. All right, I'll stop. You know what, since we're not doing an episode this week, I thought we'd just take a little extra time, and let's play offices and bosses with Metamorphosis. You guys love that game so much. Really? What?

And we're gonna record it. We're gonna, let's just record a bunch of episodes and do a spin-off mini-series of offices and bosses. The offices and bosses podcast that the world has been collaborating for. This is what I asked Chris for. I said he must bring about this podcast. Well, it, it's a Chris must miracle. And for people at home that even more exciting part is,

you have to pay a little bit of money to listen to. Hooray! Yay! So the pine guys is gonna be on Howl, Earwool, Streaming Services. That's actually really awesome. It's very inexpensive. If you go to Howl.fm slash magic,

you can sign up for Howl, get an introductory offer that I think gives you a few weeks, if not a whole month, for free. And then you'll be able to listen to offices and bosses, which is going to debut on Howell exclusively on January 11th. And you'll be able to listen to all those episodes, you'll be able to listen to all the other really cool

podcasts on Howell. And there's also just a lot of stand up comedy albums on there as well. There's just an insane amount of content. And hey, I chunk of that money will go to us. So if you want to support the podcast, this is a great way to do it and be able to listen to offices and bosses, which we haven't recorded yet, but it's going to be great. Metamorph, can you promise that we're going to have a great, exciting time playing offices and bosses?

Wait, yes, I can. I can promise. I can make that promise. Wow, Wow, I need to say when you John when you asked Christmas Said he must do that he came into my place at like 4 a.m. Oh did he threaten you or yes? You threaten me and broke some of my quills and I was I need those Yeah, well, it's not I need I need to he must do that thing. Yeah, absolutely. Sorry about that. Well, that's fine I'm so excited to once again portray my character John Bastion. Aren't you so we're gonna get a chunk of money? How much is a chunk? How much is a chunk? I'm not really sure I mean, you know, honestly, I'm not sure how that money is gonna get to you

Sean, but I think that money will go towards making sure that this podcast continues to exist. Oh, okay Can we have a podcast for a Game I invented? Oh, what's the game? It's called scattered categories. Okay. You might win a short nut. Combine the two words. Oh, okay.

Scattered gorries. Hmm, maybe that's a little on the nose. Let's just call it Scrabble. Also, we've appreciated all of the gifts people have shoved through the portal for us, but, you know, especially during this winter solstice season, maybe that stuff can best be sent to You know charities or people that are homeless shelters or places on my world that

Where people in need can use that kind of stuff wait a lot of people have sent me underwear and socks Which I appreciate and I think everyone around me and food appreciates But now I think I'm good on those things and I I encourage you to send those to people that can use them even more than me. I wait. They exist. People on earth also say you socks? Yeah. That does not mean that I do not deeply appreciate the sake you guys got for me.

Well, I would hope so, and I would hope that the good people of earth hear these words that Arnold has said, for he has told us that there is some hunger to me except for your subscription. To how.fm-slashmagic. And I put little bells on your socks. Oh, so you can always know when I'm coming? Well, don't worry, you won't move. Guys, can we sing that holiday song?

I just really love it. It's just very cathartic. And a one and a two and a three. Holiday's holiday's holiday's holiday's holiday's holiday's! Holidays! Holidays! Holidays! Holidays! Holidays!
