The Incomparable, number 800, January 2026.

Welcome back everybody to The Incomparable.

I'm your host, Jason Snell, as I have been for most of the last 800 episodes of this

silly podcast that we started in 2010.

This is episode 800.

I will just point out we record these episodes out of order.

Plus there were some bonus episodes.

It's probably something like the 808th episode we've recorded.

But you know what?

It's labeled 800.

And it's the most kind of correct you can be technically correct.

We retroactively added two episodes to Mothership continuity so everything's off by two.

And people who are members and listen to the special edition have already heard episodes 801 and 802.

I'm out.

It doesn't matter.

This is episode 800, a silly episode that's not about anything.

Let me introduce my silly panelists who are also not about anything.

I will introduce them in the order in which they will pick.

We're drafting things.

You don't know what we're drafting yet, but we're drafting things, dear listener. And they will be drafted in this order with the first pick will be Monty, Ashley. No sniping. Oh, okay. Great. I'm in charge. That's what that means, right? That's, yep. Actually, as the host goes last, it means you're the least in charge.

But you do get to pick first.

Welcome, Monty.
