Welcome to the Double X scab fest for Thursday, December 28th, the call-in show, which we are so excited about.

I love our call-in show.

I'm Hannah Rosen, a host of Invisibilia, and in the New York

studios, we have June Thomas, the managing producer of Slate Podcasts. Hi, June. Hey, Hannah. And Noreen Malone, an editor at New York Magazine. Hi, Noreen. Can we do like really quick holiday chatter before we get going? Because I'm actually curious. Are you guys going away? Are you staying? Like, what are you doing? What are you doing?

I'm going to Tropical Cleveland, Ohio, as always.

All right.

What about you?

Tropical Vermont, where it's minus six degrees. That's so tropical. And you know what I'm doing? I am staying at home. I may not, I may even not leave the house for a number of days. I'm just so excited. Wow. It's going to be so much TV. When we get back, it's going to be like so much recommendations. I'm excited. You know the Scandinavian concept of Huga? Huga. That's June. I just actually like picture you in the winter in Park Slope with like various Huga Accoutermal. Uh-huh. Hugo accoutrement and a huga cat.

I thought it was Higa or something.

I thought it was pronounced slightly differently.

I've watched like eight different YouTube videos in how to pronounce it.

I'm not exactly sure that I got it, but I have done my research.

You did say it smoothly.

Like it just rolled right off in your sentence. You didn't even pause. That was impressive. So, listeners, this is how we do the Is It Sexist Game? Basically, we do this in Slate Plus every week. If you don't listen, you should, it's really fun. And the way we're doing it. This show is a listener asks us a question and then we each give a rating

how sexist on a scale from zero to 10. We add up and divide the numbers and that's its sexist rating.

So let's get going. Let's queue up our first one. Hey, I recently went in to get my oil change at a local

car oil repair place. And when I was paying, I was kind of confused because it's way

cheaper than I thought I would be. And then the gentleman at the counter informed me that it was

ladies' night and that I would be receiving a discount on my services. So I'm sort of pleased because I

save money. And, you know, that's all as a plus. But I was also unsure as to whether or not this was sexist.
