How did we get here? This minisode, we're just taking a moment to chat about Ryan and Ally's Fall/Halloween tradition! 

It's officially October! And today we have a special guest - Ally's brother Ryan! AKA Ryanator Fortyone! While Julia is taking care of some adult life things, Ryan is going to try out some of the warm and yummy drinks we've explored on the podcast, plus take a quiz to see what kind of Halloween creature he (and Ally) are! 

You can find Ryan here: https://www.youtube.com/@ryanator41

Hahahahahaha oops we're a little late...

ANYWAY - THE DAY HAS COME!!! We are finally going to travel back in time to try out our original coffee drinks. 

These are the drinks that got us in to drinking coffee. But will we still enjoy them now? 

We're going to talk about smoothies!!!

We're going back to some summer basics: How did smoothies get started? What's the difference between a smoothie and a shake and a frappucino? Are smoothies actually good for you?
