It's snack time baby. Are you guys ready to snack? Always ready to snack.

Snack time.

I've been delaying my actual snack until after we record this so that I don't have like popcorn,

but it's not as difficult as snack mouth.

Do you remember that band from the 90s snack mouth? The 90s and 2000s.

Classic.

So snack time, you know this. This is when we jump through some of our favorite posts that we've seen on Reddit recently.

And they just feel a little more snack size than our usual meal sized episodes.

This is a rare three for Josh. Here I am and let's thread producer Josh.

Yeah, I like snacks. Welcome. Thank you. I feel like in that spirit, Josh should kick it off. What do you think?

Love it. I think you guys are going to really like the snack. I'm just going to say that up top.

Okay. Let's go. Well cocky.

All right. Say you're setting yourself up for failure.

I'm going to start with a question for you guys. When you were growing up,

did you ever believe in Santa Claus or the Easter bunny or anything like that? No.

I did in fact believe in Santa Claus. Josh and I believed for a really long time because my parents had an unfair advantage on me.

They got their neighbor to come over when I was like three years old and dress up as Santa Claus in the middle of the night.

And they all woke me up. My parents and my brother woke me up and like brought me into the living room to spy on Santa Claus while he was putting toys out.

And I basically believed in Santa Claus for as long as possible because of that.

I'd seen him with my own eyes. That's perfect because this story will really resonate with you. I think.

Nice. Nice. All right. I'm going to save the headline for the end.
