We are in-person! Catherine has flown to Georgia from Colorado, and today we are in the same room discussing Chapters 10 – 12 of Twilight. We have about as much chemistry in-person as Bella and Edward do in…biology? We wonder what vampires smell like and what they’re made of and we get into our favorite colors and gemstones. We also hyper analyze Bella and Edward’s relationship and exactly how toxic it is. Brittany reminisces on dating as a middle/high schooler and gets really grossed out about drinking milk. Catherine tells us exactly how to pronounce “Chopin” and declares her (early) allegiance to Team Jacob. There might be some singing. In fact, is it even a Fiddle & Pipe episode if we don’t sing? This section ends with something…shimmering? Tune in next week for the cliffhanger reveal!

Bella and her Forks friends go on a trip to the beach in La Push where they meet the teenage dream you always wanted in high school, Jacob Black. Bella charms her way into Jacob's heart, so he tells her a scary story about the Cullens supposedly being vampires because it's obvious. Bella researches vampires on AskJeeves.com and still isn't sure if Edward is a vampire, yet all the signs are 99.9% there. Bella goes dress shopping with Jessica and Angela because this high school dance is the hot event in town, but she decides to break off from her gal pals to research more about vampires before almost becoming a True Crime subject on the Port Angeles's 5 o'clock news.

Does Bella end up on the 5 o'clock news?

Is Edward really a vampire?

What dress color does Jessica pick for the dance?

All of these questions and more will be answered as Brittany & Catherine continue their journey in 50 Shades of Twilight.

Brittany & Catherine are joined again with Pumpkin Spice (aka Reiner). They go back in time to a mid 2000's Forks, Washington where the high school dance is the talk of the town, Edward Cullen is a 40 year freshman, and apathetic teenagers are pricking blood in biology class for Forks Blood Depot. Oh and Claude Debussy makes an appearance because of Edward's melting honey, musical voice. Get into the mind of a judgmental 16 year old girl, as Fiddle & Pipe takes a deeper dive into Fifty Shades of Twilight.

We are joined again by Matt Richards of MMM Conversations to discuss our next book: Twilight! We hit the ground running addressing some of the controversies surrounding Stephanie Meyer. The amount of content we could pull from two chapters is staggering: we went real deep into the religious symbology of Twilight, we discuss the sexual appeal of vampires, and we think back to our own teen years in the 2000s and early 2010. Brittany does a mini dive on vampires and texting, Catherine thinks back to when she was the new girl in school, and Matt does several impersonations of Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart.

Happy Deaf Awareness Month! We're kicking off September discussing the Beethoven (composer, not the dog) movie "Immortal Beloved." We are also joined by Wendy Tabor, Canadian photographer, graphic designer, and member of the hard of hearing community. We dive into the logistics of the movie itself, including certain questionable costume choices and more serious aspects, such as the visual and audio representation of Beethoven's deafness. Catherine enlightens everyone with how she first heard Beethoven 9, Brittany makes fun of Canada, and Wendy provides some serious intel on living the hard of hearing life.

Take a portal back in time to 2010 & 2011 for this #WaybackWednesday as Brittany and Catherine reminisce their freshman year in music school. Hear about all the awkward moments about being late to rehearsals, countless hours sitting in practice rooms and not playing, coffee, breakups with best friends and crappy guys, more coffee, an embracing change in a new environment because let's face it, we all went through some terrifying life changes our freshman year; don't lie.

TW: death

We are joined again by Matt Richards of MMM Conversations to discuss Chapter 9 of “The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fuck” and to recap the book! As always, we get confused on time. We also deal with some technological problems which brings us back to virtual teaching. We discuss death in general as well as the possibility of our own deaths. We realize that life is too short and we collectively decide to approach life with a YOLO perspective. Catherine gives her SparkNotes on this chapter, Brittany still gets Charles Manson and Mark Manson mixed up, and Matt writes a hit song. Other topics include Hannah Montana, middle school memories, Dr. Suess, hustle culture, and so much more!

We announce our next book at the end! We hope you enjoyed this book with us! We officially don’t give a fuck, and we hope you don’t either.

Brittany and Catherine continue to read "Charles" Mark Manson's, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fuck, as they talk about setting boundaries and saying the word that defines 2021, “no.” 

Other discussions include: pressure comparisons between musicians and athletes, crappy portrayals of romantic relationships on tv, and how Brittany has never read or seen Holes.

In the words of Shia LaBeouf, "JUST DO IT" and listen to Fiddle & Pipe podcast.
