In this episode, we spend the first 20 minutes discussing movies we've seen lately and birthday freebies (oops). Then we speed through the 5(!) most recent pet days before getting to the main topic - the Neopets data breach! We also have an intriguing business proposition, more user designs for pets, and a Neopets version of an iconic fanfic. Plus, we talk about which Muppet we're most like and rate our enclosures!
