THE ART OF CONVERSATION.  Small talk is lame.  But how does one push past the superficial and have better conversations?  Chris and Amanda are joined by podcasting guru and “Master Provocateur” Brian Howie (host of the #1 dating and relationship podcast The Great Love Debate), for a fascinating conversation about…conversation.  If a good conversation is like a ping pong warmup, then this is one spirited volley.    Drinks in this episode: >> Lemon Lavender Shandy, Burnt Marshmallow Brewery >> High Noon pineapple vodka and soda >> French 75 Cocktail – 1 oz gin, ½ oz freshly squeezed lemon juice, ½ oz simple syrup, 3 oz Champagne (or other sparkling wine); combine ingredients in cocktail shaker with ice, shake and strain into Champagne flute.  Garnish with a lemon twist.
