Hey, everybody, welcome back to the Blister Podcast on the Blister Podcast Network.

I'm Jonathan Ellsworth, and you can check out everything.

We're doing and reviewing over at blisterreview.com.

Today, we are finally back to review the news with Cody Townsend, and unfortunately for me,

this is the episode where I have to make good on the bet that I lost to Cody.

More on that in a bit here.

But as usual on reviewing the news, today we are covering some really important topics,

some really timely topics, and some pretty maddening topics.

Also, as many of you know, as of January 1st, 2026, if you sign up for Blister Plus

or your Blister Plus membership renews after January 1st,

well, you are now covered for an additional 20 outdoor activities anywhere and everywhere in the world.

And Cody is real happy about this because we now cover surfing, but we also now cover

wing foiling and equestrian and dirt biking and water skiing and a total of 50 activities.

You're covered 365 days a year everywhere in the world.

As has always been the case, people of all ages can sign up,

So if you aren't already a Blister Plus member,

now would be the perfect time to become one.
