## Resource

Grab your coffee (or join Bree in running on 7 out of 8 cylinders) because we are diving deep into the wonderfully weird today. Bree corrects some crucial childhood snack history (spoiler: it was Airheads, not Laffy Taffy), contemplates whether she'll soon need hedge clippers to prune her wardrobe, and explores the bizarre, brainless intelligence of slime molds. Finally, we wrap up with a trip to 1932 for a breakdown of the time the Australian military officially surrendered to a flock of giant, tactical birds. Pet your cats, adjust your blanket situation, and get cozy—you are officially pampered.
