Hey, Mike, forgive me for sending this voice note. I never sent voice notes, but I felt compelled to send you this idea. Feel free to use it if you want. Okay, you could put this to the top of the show. It'd go like this. Hey, hello, listeners. This is Max Kerman from the band Arkells. We're a Canadian band, and I'm coming to you today because I'm a listener of the gist. I listen every day. And every day, if I

accidentally click on the normal feed, I listen to Mike promoting the GIST list and Pesca Plus.

And to be honest, I'm both sick of it and inspired to make a pitch because, frankly, I'm

embarrassed for your listeners. If you're listening to this show, you know that you're getting

world-class journalism. And more importantly, I also know how you spend your money. You spend your

money on all kinds of stupid stuff. It's almost a crime that you're getting this show for free.

So the least you can do is pay Mike for what he provides every single day. It's really the least

you can do. The show is not only nourishing

for our minds, but it's also wildly entertaining. I hosted the Just Once. It's impossibly hard.

To do that and the Just List in Peska Plus five days a week, I'm both in awe, but I'm also annoyed.

The least you can do is sign up for Peska Plus, because if you listen to Peska Plus, you stop getting ads for Peska Plus.

Put it into your yearly budget and you won't even notice it.

And you also do this thing where text 777 or you give them the website, you don't need to baby your crowd by giving them instructions.

They can Google Peska Plus and be a part of the program in 30 seconds.

Music They can Google Peska Plus and be a part of the program in 30 seconds. It's December 24th, 2025 from Peachfish Productions. It's the gist I'm Mike Peskut. December 24th, you know what that means. It was Christmas Eve, babe. And in the drunk tank, an old man said to me, won't see another one.

So these are the lyrics of the great song, fairy tale of New York by the Poe.

A man named Shane McGowan with a heart full of love, a liver full of whiskey, and a mouth full of

teeth that go in whatever direction their bliss will take them.

He's smart that Shane McGowan.

He's a genius, lyrical genius, but also there's what, 10,000 Christmas songs?

I think there's one Christmas Eve song.

Some Christmas songs mention it being Christmas Eve or the events obviously have to take place on Christmas
