| 0:00.0 | Hey there, it's Nick. |
| 0:01.0 | And it's Leah. |
| 0:01.9 | A real quick thing before we get going, would you please follow our show in whatever app you're using to listen to us right now? Yeah, you don't even have to listen. You could just hit follow and it would really mean a lot to us. Yeah, there's probably like a follow button or maybe there's a bell or a plus sign. Like there's some symbol somewhere and then you'll get notified whenever we have a new episode. We would so appreciate it. |
| 0:22.7 | We really would. |
| 0:23.3 | It makes a huge difference for our show, so please do that. Thank you so much. And now let's start the show. Let's get in it. Hey, everybody, it's Nick Layton. And I'm Leah Bonema. And we had so many great questions from you all in the wilderness. Ow! |
| 0:39.6 | That we have a bonus episode. So here we go. Our first question is, quote, is it rude to make a birthday |
| 0:45.3 | cake for yourself in quote unquote unpopular flavors? It's my birthday soon and I'm inviting |
| 0:51.1 | friends over. Would it be rude if I made a cake that I would love, but |

| 1:21.3 | Yes, this is definitely either a Canadian listener or European or somebody who is not using the American spelling. |
| 1:27.4 | I still use OU and everything. Really? And it gets using the American spelling. I still use |
| 1:28.3 | OU and everything. Really? And it gets flagged on everything. I'm sure. I say to my email, |
| 1:33.3 | I'm just international. Also, I just want to say up top, I don't think of peanut butter, coffee, |
| 1:38.2 | or coconut as niche flavors. So let's start there. What flavors would you consider to be, quote, |
| 1:44.0 | unquote, bad flavors or unpopular flavors? |
| 1:47.7 | I actually really had a hard time thinking about what flavors I would not enjoy in a cake. |
| 1:52.3 | I wouldn't enjoy pee, like a pee and gravy, like a, you know what I mean? |
