Ep. 201: New Season, Black Dragon Drama, New Merch, Bad Tablemates & a Gilded West Getaway, Let's Go!
It's a brand new season for The Mahj Bros! The Mahjernet has its knickers in a twist — and this week, we’re finally weighing in on the great Black Dragon debate. Is mahjong evolving, or are we fixing something that was never broken? Spoiler: we have thoughts.We’re also tackling an even more dangerous question: how do you kick someone off your mahjong table? From toxic players and painfully slow games to ghosting, group-text exile and one truly spectacular table-flip story, we hear from the community and decide when it’s time to say, “Maybe you’d be happier with another group.”Plus: Ira is still stranded in Europe, while we launch themahjbros.com and the new Mahj Bros merch store without him, Mini Mahj Daily drama continues, a tournament player gets her hand slapped to save her from going dead, and we catch up on everything that happened while we took one week off and the Mahjiverse lost its mind.Then Jason sits down with Jovann Walker, founder of Mahjong Retreat Co., for a preview of the Gilded West Dallas retreat, where the Bros are heading this November with their cowboy boots, country glam, a tournament and a live episode of The Mahjcast.And through all the chaos, we come back to the reason we love mahjong in the first place: the table, the people, the stories, the laughter — and knowing when somebody might need to find another table.🎧 The Mahjcast🌐 www.themahjbros.com📲 Follow us on Instagram & Facebook: @TheMahjBrosJoin us at The Gilded West Retreat in Dallas November 6th-8th!And for a limited time, our listeners can use code PINKICEDTEA for 20% off in the new merch store.

Ep. 125: Mister Mahjong visits NYC, Nathan’s Hostile Takeover & More Mahj Confessions
This week on The Mahjcast, things get personal.Ira’s partner Nathan stages a hostile takeover of the studio with a few things to get off his chest — starting with Ira’s highly questionable mahjong teaching style, public shaming of new players, and a Mini Mahj confession that raises some serious ethical questions. Also this week:🀄 Classic Tiles vs. Crazy Tiles — We debate whether novelty sets are fun, fabulous… or way too confusing for tournament play.📚 Ira Tries to Correct the Expert — Ira is convinced Jillian from @mahjeltov's strategy book is riddled with errors. Spoiler alert: the book is right. Ira is not.🏙️ The Bros Take Manhattan — Rain may have killed Bryant Park, but it didn’t stop us. We pivoted to Sparrow’s Nest Studio with @Mister_Mahjong, Jackie, 10-Joker @zac.mathias and a packed room of mahjong madness.🏆 Mini Mahj Daily Drama — Bethany comes painfully close, Randy takes the weekly crown, and apparently mahjong dominance is becoming a family affair.🧢 Blanks Are for Cheaters — A listener turns a family mahjong feud into a custom hat, and naturally we have opinions.🌸 Hydrangea-gate Continues — The DMs have spoken, and Jason is still defending the flowers he allegedly murdered with his truck.📣 CALL IT: How Much Celebration Is Too Much? — Is a huge mahjong win worthy of fireworks, screaming and a victory lap? Or should you quietly rack your tiles and show some class? We settle the debate.And finally, The Mahj Bros are taking a week off. We’re squeezing every last drop out of summer and will be back after Labor Day rested, re-racked and ready for whatever the Mahjiverse throws at us next.🎧 Listen now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts & Amazon Music.Follow us on Instagram and Facebook @themahjbros and send us your mahjong drama, confessions, questions and debates.Pull up a chair, rack your tiles and let's play.
