this week’s show is devoted to identifying which product —if any — can be called “the Furby of Xmas 2023” (actual Furbies made in 2023 are ineligible as they’re substantially less popular than The Replacements ‘Tim’ remixes box, currently half off at online retail because everyone knows if you get one for a kid you’ll be done for child abuse). Apparently it’s someone or something called a Squishmallow and learning this is not dissimilar to my reading that some alleged a-lister has just been accused or charged with something heinous. I mean, I still have no idea who Artie Hammer is.  
That’s the great thing about listener phone calls — aside from how 99% of you have faces made for (internet) radio — every week is an education.
