Before we start this week's show, I just want to say our hearts go out to everyone in the Los Angeles area who's been affected by these wildfires, which are still burning. People have lost their homes, loved ones, possessions, pets. I know people in LA are really pulling together right now. A special shout out to my friends in LA who've opened your homes to people who've lost theirs.

I recommend both of these charities. If you're in a position to help, please do. Okay, now we're going to start the show.

Happy Feast of the Ass to all who celebrate. I've heard from people, I've heard from listeners who are having special Feast of the Ass parties tonight, where they will be exchanging glazed Bundt cakes, the traditional Feast of the Ass treat, and spending the day or spending the evening or the night with loved ones or sitting on the faces of loved ones.

For those of you who aren't caught up on your love casts, for those of you who missed the show that came out on Christmas Eve, December 24th, and my interview in that show with medieval historian Dr. Eleanor Janaga, quickly to summarize, the Feast of the Ass was an annual holiday, a feast day celebrated by Catholics.

And this holiday was ostensibly held by The excuse for it was the flight of the Holy Family into Egypt after King Herod ordered the execution of all boys under age two in Bethlehem when he heard that a king had been born in Bethlehem.

But really, as Dr. Yonaga explained to us on the show December 24th, the Feast of the Ass was a party for people who needed a party in mid-January. The Feast of the Ass fell off the calendar centuries ago, which left us without a festive holiday to look forward to between Christmas and St. Valentine's Day. So we decided here at the Lovecast to bring back the Feast of the Ass.
