Ruining A Seder

So, I'm a Jew.
This week is about to be filled with my people flocking to each others houses to cook an enormous meal and then wait to eat it...and wait...and then wait more.  As a public service, I'm offering up a more tolerable service for the Jews who are listening, as well as an experience that is guarantee to clarify 5000 years of tradition and culture for the Goy who might be tuned in. Listen to my Seder supplement and I personally guarantee you promotion from wicked son to wise son and we can do what has, for centuries been done in four questions in three or less.  Take that Maimonides!
