No gloss, no filter.

Just stories.

Spoken without fear.

Person who is not generous can not be an artist.

The world will be at peace only when it is ruled by poets and philosophers.

Listen to my weekly podcast, the Pooja Abhaw on the IHeart Radio app,

Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.

Come for the honesty.

Stay for the fire.

I hate to start off the show this way with some in-office controversy.

I love to start this way.

That way we got. Someone needs to have the courage to speak up, and I guess that person has to be me. Oh, no. It's just going to be your complaint. I thought we're getting real awesome. It's not my complaint. It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning, but apparently there's been a secret petition floating around, and I'm not happy about it. Uh-oh, what is it? I'm not going to say whose desk I found it on, but I will say it's in my possession now. Uh-huh. And I'm not even going to hint around about it. I'm just going to read you the title of this petition. I don't remember this. I've never seen a petition. Oh, really, because it says

petition for our technical director Ashton to make chocolate peanut butterballs for Christmas

2026 instead of jerky. What? Oh, wait a minute. Chocolate peanut butterballs is Jake's thing.

That's already shaking Jake's wife is the best in the world.

I'm pulling back the curtain here a little bit.

Our digital producer is the one who always gives out peanut butter chocolate balls.

While our technical director, Ashton, his thing every year is jerky.

Homemade jerky.

And it gets better every year.

So who on this show would want to double the chocolate peanut butter balls instead of having jerky?

Okay.
