- Well, I don't know about you, but it seems
to me like this year has just flown by.
Does it seem that way to y'all?
- [Audience] Yes.
- I don't know why, but it seems like it's really fast.
It's hard to believe the holidays are already here.
And if you're anything like me or my next guest, Brittney,
you've been trying to maintain your sanity
amongst all the holiday hustle and bustle.
So Brittney, welcome.
- Thank you for having me today.
(audience chuckling)
- Thanks for taking time out
of your busy schedule to be here
'cause like I said, there's been a lot of hustle and bustle.
So what does a holiday season look like for you?
- Dr. Phil, this time of year
can get really crazy for my family and me.
It's a lot of fun, but there's just always so much going on.
My family and I go to several holiday dinners
with different sides of the family.
I do a lot of baking for those get togethers.
And of course there's also the house decorating,
Christmas tree decorating, gift wrapping, shopping,
all that stuff to get ready for the big day.
It's fun and exciting.
It's just a lot of work.
- Yeah, look, I'm sure there's lots
of people watching who deal
with that same too much to do and not enough time to do it,
and that just ends up being stressful.
And is there anything that you do
that's just enjoyable relaxing, stress-free?
- My husband, daughter and I like to go
to the local Christmas parades and our town
and around the other towns.
We drive around different neighborhoods
looking at Christmas lights.
And when I have a minute for myself,
there is an app game I love playing called Best Fiends.
It is so much fun.
- The holidays can certainly be a busy time of year
and though it's a season of giving,
it's also important to give
to yourself by taking really regular breaks
and doing things just for you.
And you have to learn to say no to some things
and some people.
Sometimes you just gotta stay home say,
hey, not gonna do it.
- Definitely. - Not gonna do it.
- It sounds like you've found a way
to do that playing the game.
- Yes.
- So what do you love most about it?
- It helps me relax.
I love collecting the little fiends on 'em.
They're so cute.
Every time you level 'em up, they get bigger.
(Brittney chuckling)
There's always new levels,
new events, stuff to keep it challenging for me
and it's just a really good way to pass time.
I started playing Best Fiends about a year ago
and I'm already on level 3,384
and I also have a few friends that play Best Fiends as well.
- 3,284. - Yeah.
You're not baking cookies.
(audience chuckling)
You ain't baking cookies.
Well, how about you play a game right now
and get that level under your belt.
So let's see what you got.
And what we're talking
about is a game Best Fiends, not friends.
Fiends is a relaxing puzzle game and it's got, as you heard,
thousands of levels and challenging events to play.
It's easy to learn but hard to master
and it really keeps your brain stimulated
and making it the perfect combination of challenge,
and fun, and the best of all,
you can use it offline so you can get some me time anywhere
and you can even play while you're traveling.
So this holiday season, you can give yourself the gift
of fun and relax your mind with this interactive game.
So how you doing?
- Doing pretty good.
- And I'm glad that you found something that brings you calm
during the busy time of year.
But to help you with your holiday shopping,
Best Fiends is giving you a $100 e-gift card
to spend on anything you like.
(audience clapping) - That's awesome.
- So if you're looking for a fun
and relaxing break on your phone any time of year,
just go to the App Store or Google Play
and you can download Best Fiends for free today.
Remember, it's like best friends, but without the R.
(audience chuckling) Okay?
I want to thank all of my guests today.
Brittney, thank you for being here.
Thank you for playing the game.
- Thank you. (audience clapping)
