0:00.0	This episode is brought to you by Rugable. I just moved for the first time in 12 years,
0:05.2	and as I furnish a new house, you know what I've decided? A room does not feel complete until there's a rug in it. It really anchors the space and pulls everything together, and that's why I'm obsessed with Rugable. Rugable is a design-led home brand whose rugs are built to perform. I got their Beckett Navy rug for my son's bedroom,
0:21.6	and I'm so excited about it. It's this plaid pattern with navy, red, teal. It's perfect.
0:26.8	I'm about to order two more, one for my daughter's room and one for my hallway. The problem is
0:30.9	they have so many great options I can't decide which ones to get. I literally have 58
0:35.8	rugs saved in my favorites. That's not an exaggeration.
0:38.8	They have every style from classic Persian designs to vintage inspired to sleek modern and get
0:43.8	this. Not only are the rugs durable and soft, but most of them are machine washable. So if you
0:49.0	have pets, kids, a lot of traffic in your home, no problem. They're easy to clean. Refresh your

1:26.6	Hello, everyone. Welcome to people are the worst.
1:32.5	Are you new here? Welcome. I'm Rebecca, Blackstock. I'm Rachel Cassinger, and we are identical twins.
1:39.4	We tell each other true crime stories with a plot twist. Never an old time in crime. You're not going to hear that here. Crime from the 1800s is snooze fest. Let's just put it out there. It's not happening. It's boring. And we are so glad to have you. Thank you. Thank you for joining us. We're gearing up, okay, what's today? Tuesday.
2:01.6	In two days, we're going to ChromeCon, Vegas, 2026.
