I (host Brenna) am very excited for my birthday episode tomorrow and I hope you all are too! Here are some spoilers with maybe more context than usual, to get you HYPED UP !!!

The "illusion of free choice" cow meme and the two options are "getting into hockey" and "doing literally anything else" but the end of the hallway is always number 87 for the Pittsburgh Penguins, Sidney Crosby

A man in a suit stands in an empty room looking at a very long scroll of paper. There is a little bubble that shows you zoomed in what the paper says at the top: "Reasons Why SidGeno is Compelling:"

A screenshot of a TikTok video of a person looking at a laptop while speaking on their cellphone and the text on screen reads "girl who hacks one direction hotel security footage peeps hollanov" and the caption reads "2014 was insane actually"

An edit of an image showing that Hello Kitty's measurements are that she is 5 apples tall, but edited in is that Eric Bittle (aka Bitty) from Check Please is also the same height of 5 apples tall.
