Hi friends, you might have heard that Bark, Sandin and I are on the road this spring with brains on live. We've been to several cities so far and it has been so much fun. Our next two stops are Atlanta and Fort Lauderdale. That's at the end of March. And then we just announced that we added Lawrence, Kansas in May and Columbus, Ohio in June. We're also heading to Chattanooga, Durham, Milwaukee, Portland, Buffalo and Ann Arbor, Michigan. We hope you'll be able to join us at one of those shows. We can't wait to see you to get tickets and get more information. You can head to brainson.org slash events. That's brainson.org slash events. Hi friends, Molly Bloom here, host of brains on and smash boom best. Both shows are part of the brains on universe, along with forever ago and moment of um. Well, I have some news to share about our shows. We're taking a little break from making new episodes. I know, I know, not cool, but this isn't goodbye. In fact, it's very exciting because we're looking for a new home. Right now, we're busy packing up everything at brains on headquarters. Have you ever tried to find a box big enough for a taco farm? Hey, Molly, I need your help. Have you seen my life-sized cotton candy sculpture of Penelope Poodle? Oh, hey, Sandin. I think I saw Mark eating some cotton candy. What? Mark, wait! Our new headquarters will be bigger and better. Six more bathrooms, 10 more water slides, a working doorbell. Ugh, that thing drives me baddy. Oh, hey, Joy Dolo from forever ago. Hey, Molly, Hermie the elephant and I are here to pack too. Yes, I know, Hermie, you're an elephant and you always have your trunk with you. But I need your help to pack up the rest of my closet into my trunk. Okay, our closet. Come on. Even though we're in transition, Brains On will still be performing live in Dallas on September 13th and Smash Boom Best is bringing live debate action to Princeton, New Jersey on October 26th. For tickets, go to BrainsOn.org slash events. I'll be there and I would love to high five all of you in person. Now, I gotta tape up this box. Molly, do you have room for one more thing in that box? Hey, Mark, sure. What is it? I may have accidentally eaten half of a dog-shaped cotton candy sculpture and I kinda wanna hide the evidence. Thanks. Okay, I'm off to pack up my inventions in the labra kitchen. Whoa, can't forget Molly's thuggy pants. A Velcro balloon, yes. The Luke forbinator, gotta have the zoom ring. So, yeah, we've got a lot going on. To get our forwarding address, sign up for our newsletter. Go to BrainsOn.org slash newsletter. You'll be the first to know about our new home.
