From time to time in a SECRET SOCIETY, I will talk to an interesting person in confidence, and you can watch it.

Good evening if it’s evening where you are.

My name is John Hodgman, and this is a report to the membership of a SECRET SOCIETY.

Before we ascend the stairs to the secret room, here’s some public information.

First, on Sunday I fly to Cincinnati in order to drive to Lexington Kentucky.

Guess who else is driving from Cincinnati to Lexington? TRAVIS MCELROY.

He will be joining us on stage at the Opera House on Monday. And in celebration of this bonus, the Opera House is holding a BOGO sale right now.

So you can BOGO ahead and get those tickets for Monday right HERE.

And by the way, guess who will be joining me and Jesse on stage in Atlanta?

(Why am I making you guess? That’s annoying.)

It’s the World’s Pal: CHUCK BRYANT of Stuff Your Should Know.

Chuck will not only be typically charming as a charm bracelet, he will also be be singing and playing some country music for your intense pleasure.

So please make sure you get your tickets to that right HERE.

Pals

Now, last week we discussed the fact that the wonderful comedian and WGA Strike captain Josh Gondelman does NOT do cocaine.

But he is famously addictive to PEP. Which is to say, his genuinely inspiring pep talks that he used to offer on Twitter, but now who knows? I never go over there anymore. Sad.

But now he offers pep talks and other Gondelmania for absolutely free on his own substack, which you can subscribe to HERE.

And why wouldn’t you? Being with Gondelman is a powerful euphoria drug, take it from me.

hugs not drugs

Now travel with me to the distant past, our very first meeting of a SECRET SOCIETY, when I told you I had been interviewed by Dan Schreiber for WE CAN BE WEIRDOS.

That episode is now AVAILABLE, and though I normally despise the sound of my own recorded voice, I sure did enjoy revisiting that nice conversation about ghosts and Dan Ackroyd and other supernatural phenomena.

As he promised me he would, Dan and his producer DID visit the inner sanctum of the mysterious Swedenborg House, and they report on the weird thing they found in there.

IT IS VERY WEIRD! It only deepens the mystery surrounding my own findings in there.

I promised I would share with you what I saw in that secret room, and I will. NEXT WEEK THOUGH.

Because this week in the secret room, I draw the curtain on a new aspect of a SECRET SOCIETY, in which I do my best to record a video conversation between me and a SECRET GUEST about many topics, including:

-motorcycle sidecars

-hams made of stone

-what drugs we have done

So if you are prepared to climb the stairs and enter the open door, please join us in a SECRET SOCIETY.

THE REST OF THIS MESSAGE IS SECRET
