All right. Hi, I'm David Feldman and this is the mopup for December 26,

2023. Thank you so much for finding me. This is my 219th episode for 2023. Just tidying up around here.

This episode is a best of. I do these a, of. I do these three or four times a year. I put together some clips from the past couple of weeks that I think you might enjoy as I take today off.

Well, technically, I'm not really taking the day off.

I'm putting this clip show together.

And I'm also doing the hardest work that I know of,

and that is asking you for money.

It's interesting.

It's easy for me to prepare the show, perform the show,

but for some reason asking my listeners for money is always the hardest. It's the most difficult thing I do all year. I don't know why.

I don't know why I find it so hard to ask you for money. Maybe it's because I have low self-esteem. I don't think I'm worth money.

Maybe. Or perhaps it's because most of my listeners enjoy watching me squirm. Maybe it's because most of my

listeners are d-bags. That's probably it.

Anyway, you A-Holes, this is what I like to call a Pledgeasode, where I ask scum buckets like you for money.

It's the end of the year, and I'm asking you kindly for some cash.

By the end of the year, I will have produced close to 220 episodes all free.

But you self-important fever blisters just can't find a few shekels to throw my way.

Sure, there's money for a non-union cup of Starbucks, but nothing for the guy who day in and day

out reminds you of how bad things are and how much worse they're going to get.

Oh, yeah, money for food, rent, but none for the guy who told you George Santos wouldn't get

kicked out of office. And what happened? He got kicked out

office. I got that wrong. Isn't that worth throwing me a little change? Didn't I make you happy?
