Because Mahjong is no longer just a living‑room hobby, it’s a full‑blown lifestyle—Jenn and Cathy take you from Bean & Bottle in Houston to cruise ships, country clubs, and all the places you’ll play.

Recorded live with original Moxie members, this episode hits AI‑Dr. Seuss Mahj poetry, “I’m not playing to win” weirdness, dream celebrity tables, and the delightfully tacky merch that proves we’re all a little obsessed.

The Mahj Salon is presented by Mahjong Meets Moxie (https://www.mahjongmeetsmoxie.com/)!

Five Key Takeaways

1. Mahjong has gone lifestyle: coffee‑and‑wine bars, cruises, lodges, ballrooms, leagues, and big‑ticket destination tournaments are now standard ways to get your weekly Mahj fix.

2. Dream tables say a lot—RBG and Scalia, Ann Richards, Ali Wong, Wanda Sykes, Sally Field, and the Maj Bros vs. the “Salon Sisters” show how politics, comedy, and pop culture collide over tiles.

3. Around‑the‑table lines like “I’m not playing to win today” and “the ass that asks” reveal how differently people approach competition, socializing, and speaking up about what’s really going on.

4. Mahjong merch gets gloriously ridiculous: bird bam sweaters, bedazzled “Mahjong” tops, lucky socks, cat card bags, and 3D‑printed tile cases are part of the fun—and sometimes a Mahj misdemeanor.

5. Community is everything: original Moxie members, open play seven days a week, and invitations to meet up in places like Times Square prove Mahjong is as much about who you play with as where you play.
