Hey there, the butter. Oh, that's cute. Welcome to 175 of Brain Candy Podcast. It's a special episode. It is. It's like when they used to do that on sitcoms like a very special episode of Brain Candy Podcast.

You got spooky. Yeah, because they do. They're like, Sarah finds out if she has PTSD from the challenge. Yes. So we, we usually keep all of our challenge content on patreon.com slash brain candy.

We found that that works really well where we can talk about nerdy brainy stuff on this show and some candy stuff. And then best of both worlds. Yeah, and then we can put all that stuff over on Patreon and everybody's happy except for all you losers that aren't happy.

You guys can, you know, can it. Can it. But everyone's in a while like once a year we like to spoil you rotten with a little reality.

Reality, gossip and answer some questions you have. So that's what we're going to be doing today. And I think it'll be fun because I've read through some of the questions people submitted and they are very thoughtful.

Great. Which I love. And I'm usually like the same five, you know, so it's nice when we get some thoughtful different ones. Yeah, I read a review. It might have been on iTunes, which I encourage you to leave a five star review because it means the world to us. And we read them when we're drinking.

And we just need to feel good about ourselves.

One of the people said maybe he was on brain candy crush that their impression was that we you and I assume that the audience knows more than they actually do about the logistics and I thought that is good criticism.

Isn't that kind of everyone's experience with everything we always just assume that our body of knowledge is similar to yeah, somebody knows what's inside of our heads when you know.

Yeah, and I thought that is good advice. And I don't want to do that. And even if I'm repetitive and I've said things before it's always good to reiterate if people are curious about a particular aspect of the weirdness that Israel TV. And I, I think there's no shortage of things that you could explore within the genre because it's ever growing and ever changing. So that's what we'll do today.

Before we do that, I was seeing lately that your husband has been coddling your dog is if you like are preparing for a family.

Yes, you don't have any pregnancies things to tell me right now. I don't. All right, keep us posted. But I mean, he's getting a lot of good practice in. Yes, he is with like holding segments like a baby. Yeah, putting him to bed at night, singing him all of us.

Yeah, land is getting super broody over there. I like that you little breeders. Well, and I saw on your in story that segment had this like weird little oh, yes, the dumpling that he will not let go of that is so cute.

He's like his pacifier. He keeps it in his mouth and he just loves it. I mean, it's in you. I liked your little fingers like going in there to get.

He loves anything that comes from bark box. Oh, right. The oh my god, and arrived just yesterday. What was the theme? Did you open it yet? Oh, I missed it. Oh, I put it up. I haven't saved. I haven't even posted it yet because it's so cute.

So long I couldn't stop. Remember what the theme was. Yes, it is fall theme. And it's so cute. There is absolutely a plush pumpkin spice latte. Come on. I am.

I am so basic pumpkin spice latte, but I am pro basic plush pumpkin spice lattes and segment. Oh my god, it's so cute. He opened. I opened the box. And he got all excited. And he knew exactly which toy he wanted to go for first.

Okay, he already had it was a little barrel with little apples in it. Just like the dumpling box. So the apple is now his new favorite. And this is why it's hilarious because I call him piggy like sticky piggy. Yeah, the apple in his mouth. He looks like one of those pigs.
