This week on The Mahjcast, it’s a true full-circle moment.

Jason brings two absolute legends to the table—his mom and Jackie—the women who taught him the game, the strategy, the etiquette… and let’s be honest: the attitude, too.

We go way back—like 1950s smoke-filled living rooms back—into Mom's mahj origin story, how the game was played then vs now, and why it’s having such a massive cultural comeback today.

Plus:

• Real talk on the 2026 card and why pivoting is everything
• Tournament vs. kitchen table rules (and who actually follows them)
• A spicy Call It segment on food, drinks, and phones at the table
• Dream tables, legends, and a few unexpected picks
• And a Last Tile that hits on what this game is really about—connection, tradition, and gratitude

This one’s got history, humor, and a whole lot of truth from two players who’ve seen it all.

Pull up a chair, rack your tiles…
And let’s play.
