Hi there, Molly here. I'm coming to you with some very exciting news. Starting now, we're offering a new way to engage with brains on and get some fun extra perks.

It's called Smarty Pass, and it's your ticket to add free episodes of brains on forever ago, Smash for Best and Moment of Arm, plus a bonus episode of one of our shows every month.

And you get to listen to it all right here in your favorite podcast listening app, including Spotify and Apple Podcasts. Pretty cool, right?

If you don't subscribe to Smarty Pass, your original free feeds will still be going just as they are now.

But if you do choose to subscribe, you'll get an ad free feed for each of our shows and some awesome bonus episodes on top of it.

What you're about to hear is a little taste of our first bonus episode for Smarty Pass holders, and it's a creep-tacular story.

Subscribe now to get your Smarty Pass at SmartyPass.org slash brains on. That's SmartyPass.org slash brains on. It's just $4 a month or $36 for a whole year.

That is three months for free, an excellent deal. Thank you so much for helping us make this show. And now check out this sneak peek.

Now entering brains on headquarters.

Oh my gosh, hi. Welcome to brains on headquarters. We're so glad you're here today. That Smarty Pass, your holding, gets you access to all sorts of behind-the-scenes goodies, including visits to headquarters.

Ruby said she had a story she wanted to share with you. I think she's waiting for us in the lab or kitchen. It's just a short walk and an elevator right away. Follow me.

So this is where we make brains on. Smash them best forever ago. Moment of arm. We're cooking up some new stuff too. We can't wait to tell you all about it.

Oh, here comes Gungador. Hey, Gungador. Oh, he has his headphones in. Gungador. Huh?

Hi, just taking our friend here to go meet Ruby.

Gungador just came from Dunes class with Ruby. Gungador show Ruby how to do split kick, side slinky, and backwards leap frog.

Gungador exhausted and sweaty.

You sure are. See you later. Okay, through there is the taco farm if you're hungry later. And behind that door is the tree hall of fame. Oh, and that's our saber to a fact checker.

He's awesome. A real stickler for bibliographies though. Oh, and here is elevator.

You called to the lab or kitchen, please, elevator. Lab or kitchen coming up.

You're new here. So here's a joke I wrote especially for you. What do you call a broken escalator?

Stairs. Get it? Tough crowd. Anyway, here's the lab or kitchen.

Thanks, elevator. And here's our pal Ruby got three. Hi, Molly. And ooh, look at you with that shiny new smarty pass. Welcome.
