Hey everybody, Casey here. This is our fifth year making completely arbitrary. And to celebrate our

cone of the month for this month, December 2025, is actually five cones. That's right. We're making a

sticker sheet with five individual cones on it, one from every year we've been making this show.

And we want you to get them, which means

now is the best time to support the podcast at arbitrarypod.com. But we're not just leaving

into that. Right now, 760 of our dearest fungal associates are supporting the pod as

Tremium members. If we get to 800 subscribers by the end of 2025, then we're giving everyone a bonus sticker.

That's right. Every single supporter, regardless of the tier you're signed up for, if we get to 800,

everyone gets a bonus sticker. Now, to sweeten the deal even more, if you sign up now, this month only,

you'll get 15% off your first three months at either

support tier.

And if you're currently a subscriber at the tree hugger level and you want that sticker sheet,

you can get 15% off your first three months if you upgrade to the cone club.

So go over to arbitrary pod.

dot supercast.com and become a tremium member today or give it as a gift

to that tree lover in your life. Help us celebrate five years of completely arbitrary today. And thank you

so much. What's up, fungal associates?? Merry Christmas and welcome to completely arbitrary.

This is the podcast about trees and other related topics.

My name is Alex Crofton and I am one of your hosts.

And over there on the Big Green Couch, Casey Kla.

That's me.

Your pause was too long.
