Hey guys, it's up. It's Raven, Fun Fact from Samaya Brian on Instagram.

Skittles was originally what they called the game of bowling, you know, where you roll a ball and knock over some pins.

But back then, the ball was not a perfect sphere.

It was actually more of the shape of the candy skittles, which is where the candy skittles gets its name.

It's named after the game. On another note,

Hey, how y'all doing? I feel like I'm awkwardly reentering the chat because I definitely

have missed, what is it, two weeks of episodes at this point? I think it's two weeks, hopefully not

Yes, we missed two episodes of the podcast, but I also have not been uploading on my main

YouTube channel. And I also haven't been posting really anything anywhere. It's been a minute.

a little bit of an unannounced break, if you will.

Now here's the thing.

That's usually like my time to sort of like recoup, you know, give myself a little bit of a vacation, if you will, not even a vacation, but just like not putting as much pressure on myself to post

consistently in January and use that time to sort of just like plan and reset and get my life

together for the new year. So in previous years, you will see me like, you know, not posting

as much or kind of go dark in January. That's normal. But even then,
