'''Brad Dowdy:''' Oh, this is so strange. So like after the show post last week, we started getting a bunch of links to a YouTube video from Mental Floss. And we've been in the Mental Floss magazine once.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah, we've been on the website once in the physical magazine once.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Maybe twice on the website. I can't remember. But yeah, they're they're they're good supporters of ours, good fans of ours.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' And this video is one of their kind of kind of like a list video by a guy called Myke. I believe you'd say his name, Rignetta, who I really like. He's got a great style. He did a really good XOXO talk one year that I was there. I'll find that and put that in the show notes. It's just a good a good conference talk if you're interested in such things. And the list is 37 bizarre podcasts. Picking the number 37 is bizarre enough on their part. And they basically list a bunch of really weird podcasts like super niche stuff is kind of what they're going for. And we are part of that list. Along with a couple of other stationery shows like Erasable and stuff like that, which is which is cool. I wish that we would have got a little bit more attention like some of the other shows did. Right. We just got like a brief mention. I would have loved for them to dig into the majesty that is the pan addict. But it was nice and weird to see us there. And then in a way that I'm sure came off the back of this, there was a CBC radio article where it was basically like a game for you to guess which podcast is real. So they would like present they present two shows to you. One of them is real. One of them they made up and you have to guess. And I don't understand why this happened. But the one that we are so like the last round, they're both real shows.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I know because I used to listen to the Golden Horseshoe Review when we were going to Disney World.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I just it feels a little bit lazy. Like they had the amount of shows that they were looking for. They ran out of ideas. So they just put me, me and you and the Golden Horseshoe Review against each other, even though they're both real. I don't really understand how all of that came to be. But we're now on in two different weird different places this week. So it's been a strange week for the Pan Addict podcast.

'''Myke Hurley:''' It has been a strange week. Anna, if you were making up a list of bizarre podcasts that you listen to, do you have do you have like one or two that's just like I would be embarrassed to mention this except Brad's going to make me mention it?

'''Ana Reinert:''' Oh, yeah.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I kind of had a feeling that what the answers might be. So I felt pretty good about asking that question.

'''Ana Reinert:''' You know, I wasn't expecting this, but let me pull up my overcast and I'll let you know.

'''Ana Reinert:''' I listened to one. The title of the podcast was unacceptable to iTunes. So they abbreviated it. This one's for the ladies out there. It's called the DBSA podcast. You're welcome to look it up.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Okay.

'''Ana Reinert:''' Um, it is about romance novels and they are hysterical. Amazing. But it is definitely not safe for work.

'''Myke Hurley:''' That sounds awesome. Actually, that that no, that's a totally bizarre podcast. That sounds totally awesome.

'''Ana Reinert:''' It is totally awesome because they it's it's I started listening to it because I found the blog and they did reviews. It's smart bees. It's smart bees. Trashy books is the title of the blog. So DBSA is a variation of those words, but they wouldn't let them use the B word.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' What I love is the artwork for the show. Has it written out on it, though, which I think is fantastic. Like the system wouldn't allow it to be in the title. But yet it's just on the artwork anyway, which is front and center. So I found it on iTunes. I've put it in the show notes for people to go and listen to if they want.

'''Ana Reinert:''' But they they interview some of the sort of most famous romance novel authors and they talk about what their favorite books are to read. So if you've ever wanted to read romance novels, they sort of recommend and based on your own person proclivities. So if some people like the prairie, you know, Western romance novels, some people like the urban fantasy vampires and werewolves and stories like that. But so they come each week. It's a different sort of different genres within that category. So it's really fun. And actually, a lot of my friends listen to it, too. And we're like, I didn't ever read romance novels, but now I do.

'''Myke Hurley:''' So I don't know that I could have gotten a better answer than that, to be quite honest.
