I actually read something recently that said that you should be comfortable in your own shoes first before putting yourself in others’. You have to know who you are first- otherwise your brain has a hard time defining who YOU are and not just what shoes you’re jumping into.

Jokes aside, y’all are some of the only content creators left from my childhood that hasn’t like … turned into a horrid person lmao. On the nose but the reason for this sob was the fact that I wished I was able to hold onto my childhood a little longer. I just wish I was given the chance. Kinda cheesy but I feel like we’re all given that chance to get that same comfort from our childhoods through watching our favourite KZreadrs. Hats off to you, thank you for making me the very strange but somehow functioning adult I am today.

Phrases wise- I love the phrase "calling the kettle black". Also love the contrast between '"too many cooks spoil the broth'' and "many hands, make light work"

@DocDeeISC

Ай бұрын

"Pot calling the kettle black" is for accusing someone of doing something they also do. Many hands make light work for labor, but too many people injecting their opinions into a recipe or other creation makes it appealing to nobody.

You can ask Evelien about "Helaas pindakaas". A Dutch saying. Literally means, too bad peanut butter/ unfortunately peanut butter. It's like accepting it's not gonna happen or just bad luck.

The one big UFO sighting in Britain I know of is one that happened in some woods in Suffolk (East Anglia) in the 1950s (I think). Over a few years a bunch of people said they saw UFOs and stuff. This, of course, happened near an American airbase (although Americans who worked at the airbase, also said they saw stuff in the woods).

Since I work 3rd shift I don't mind the time you upload. You give me my fresh hump day leak.I can start my day and continue my week. Thank you Brain Leak. 👍👾

2:06 this is so accurate. I'm someone who never watched new things or listens to new songs unless it comes on by accident. my brain just wants things I know are good.

My favorite etymologies are around bread!! Bread used to be cooked in ovens without sheets or pans on bricks/clay that was preheated by a fire. They scooped out the fire and put in the dough, so the bottom crust would be ashy and dirty, while the "upper crust" was clean, so the wealthy cut the bread horizontally. Thus was born the "upper crust" and "lower crust" of society😌. The 2nd is because "rule of thumb" came from grinding grain into flour. You'd pinch the flour between your fingers to make sure it was fine enough for cooking. Words! They mean things! And when they don't, there's a word for that too! Lacuna!!

honestly, i enjoy you guys uploading at night. im an opener usually where i work, so waking up and having something to listen to while i open is great

It’s a perfect time, please don’t change it!

Keep the upload schedule as is; it's the first thing I watch in the morning when I'm off!

There's probably plenty of unidentified flying objects, just not enough people around to report them.

I love the timing of when the podcast episodes go up! Right as I get to work in the morning, I’ve already been thinking about the new episode and excited to watch it while I work 🥰

I am awake in the middle of the night due to my terrible sleep schedule so you guys uploading then is nice.

I personally love the 1am upload, i get up at 2am for work so i love waking up to a fresh new episode

i love your upload time, because as soon as i clock in for work I have something to listen to. I usually am able to crush out the majority of my work in the first couple of hours when i listen because it feels like when you invite a friend over to body double :)

Please don't change it.... For once it's nice to be in the meat of the day, where it's my after dinner treat. It's nice to have it in "Australian" time. NB: I realise there are more than one country in a similar time zone, I just happen to be from the country mentioned.

The intro felt like a fever dream

The train of thought across this podcast is outstanding.

Alot of people may have faked the sky trumpets but it was a phenomenon that was really happening. We had it in our small town in Northern British Columbia. I remember it being something about the magnetosphere in the end. They are literally called "skyquakes".

I'm pretty good with yall posting at night :) I like to listen while I paint in the morning and I like not having to wait for a specific time.

I have a similar interest in phrases like you guys were talking but more misused phrases rather than the origins and meanings. My favorite one is “A jack of all trades is a master on none” which is how it’s typically used today to like shame people, for lack of a better word. But that version means the complete opposite compared to the full phrase which is “A jack of all trades is a master of none, but often times better than a master of one”. I think it’s crazy how at some point in time some people stopped using the full phrase and it completely changed the meaning of it.

dude i was OBSESSED with the trumpet thing when it was happening

KZread is the only way I watch the pod. I know you guys upload in the middle of the night Wednesday but I honestly don’t watch the pod right away. I let a couple episodes build up so when I feel in the mood to binge then I’ll binge the pod.

I'm happy with the time of day you upload these videos. I'm in the UK. So it's like 9 a.m. I wake at 6 a.m. By the time I'm done with all my morning routine, Brain Leak is just about out. The time works well for me. I listen whilst I do whatever I want to do that day. It works for me. Thanks guys.

No horror content struck me when I was younger as much as the weeping angels

My favorite phrase due to the origin of it is a phrase from Argentina, naturally it's in Spanish, it's "La verdad de la milanesa" which means "The truth of the milanesa", it's used when you're giving the facts to someone, milanesa being a type of food. The origin is that decades ago, in Argentina the origin of the milanesa recipe was being debated for a while and so the phrase came about.

adore these two so much

You guys are great it’s like sitting with your friends

46:14 "I liked the phrase 'there is no other shoe' " You can put a gaming spin on it: "The other shoe is a lie" 👟

I like that you upload in the middle of the night because I can watching during work Wednesday morning

Bob's your Teapot is one of my go tos, I remember it being in a Rowntrees fruit randoms advert and it stuck. I think it was to do with some politician appointing his uncle and then it was construed out from there.

i enjoy waking up and knowing there is another episode. but its up to yall

Omg SEÀN! Some of the most compelling cases of alien abduction took place in UK and Ireland! Mr. Ballen has shared some of the stories on his channel. I seriously recommend that you listen to them.

My father does the same thing!

I have thought SO MANY times about what it might be like if someone hopped into my body. I have a genetic disorder. I grew up thinking all the shit I was dealing with was normal. It wasn't until I was older that I started to realize my body did a million things it shouldn't. Not just pain, though that too, but random shit. Like I thought everyone had to deal with the occasional shoulder dislocation, for instance. If someone was in here, I don't think they'd know how to handle the day to day. I've built up so many patterns and movements to keep injury at a minimum. Don't turn too fast. Straighten and brace before sneezing. Tilt and prop up ankles when laying down, but make sure the blankets aren't on them or they'll pop out. Open soda bottles with the inner palm and not the fingers. I do a million things subconsciously, built up over the years. Any poor bastard in this body would probably have to spend an entire day just trying to figure out how to walk, eat, and breathe properly to avoid injury and feeling absolutely gross. ((For the record, I'm not bitching. I'm used to these things most of the time. I just genuinely enjoy this thought experiment and have thought about it a lot, haha))

I would say that "IT" is an alien that's eldritch horror like.

Love you two so much ❤❤

The "so hungry I could eat a horse" I believe came from the time where people didn't have cars so it's more like "so hungry I'd eat my horse" which would leave you walking everywhere and old bullets didn't have gun power in them when you "bit the bullet" it was just a ball of metal
