We are Ken Jennings and John Roderick. We speak to you from our present, which we can only assume is your distant past, the turbulent time that was the early 21st century.

Fearing the great cataclysm that will surely befall our civilization, we began this monumental

reference of strange and obscure human knowledge.

These recordings represent our attempt to compile and preserve wonders and esoterica that would otherwise be lost.

So whether you're listening from an advanced civilization or have just reinvented the technology to decrypt our transmissions,

this is our legacy to you. This is our time capsule. This is the

omnibus. So, You have accessed entry 398. R.O.13, certificate number 32683, the Egg Nog Riot.

It's the holiday season.

Time to Riot. It's the holiday season.

Time to Riot!

Famously.

All those Christmas songs about how you riot on Christmas.

I don't like Egg Nog. If you were going to like bury the lead and get, you know, try and tease that out of me. I'm just going to start the episode by saying I am not an eggnogger. Are you going to conscientiously

object doing this episode? No I mean I'm capable of talking about a lot of things

I disagree with on this show. Last week we did slavery. I'm not this week we were

doing egg nogg. Disagree with both things things we're doing all the

abominations I would not I would not say they were equivalent I hope slavery

and I hope I didn't imply that no but I which which do you think is worse for civilization just for the record or for me personally

Which has affected your life more I mean I have to confront eggnog more often than directly confront slavery, but I think I confront the effects of slavery more often than the effects of slavery.

But don't we do it less than other people with less privilege in us?

Yes, we confront it less. Now I'm confused. I've lost my... It would be a bummer if...

Lost solid ground. Like for a month of every year you go to your dairy case
