Ep. 116: Bomb Squads, Bathroom Breaks & Bird Bam Beth Enters the Chat

This week on The Mahjcast, Jason and Ira are still dealing with the fallout from the reverse joker swap heard ’round the mahjong internet. Is it genius? Is it a mahjtastrophe? Is it Jason’s Law? The community has spoken — loudly — and the bros are unpacking every scandalous tile.Plus, Nancy from Cane Bay Mahjong joins by phone to talk about her team’s incredible Guinness World Record win — 48 hours, 202 games, bathroom-break strategy, no sleep, and one very missed Depends sponsorship opportunity.Then we head down to Tampa, where Florida is Florida-ing, the mahjong drama is juicy, and apparently even vintage tile boxes can trigger the bomb squad.And we are thrilled to welcome one of our favorite Mahjiverse personalities, Bird Bam Beth, for a hilarious, smart, slightly profane conversation about teaching mahjong, house rules, super jokers, alternative cards, mahjong on mushrooms, dogging, building community, and why there really is room for everyone at the table.It’s a full-on great mahjisode this week. So pull up a chair, rack your tiles, and let’s play.
