Fingers crossed, there might just be a light at the end of the tunnel. As vaccines start to roll out, Jacks and Viv start to think through what a post-COVID world will look like when the pandemic starts to show itself out. We can't wait to hang out with our friends again, but what's the proper social protocol now? Can we hug people again? Does anyone even remember how to hug people?? WHERE DO MY ARMS GO??!!

Alright, as a follow-up to our 'things we're really good at' episode, we thought it was only fair to counterbalance with a, 'things we're terrible at' episode. From cooking, to having general self-control when it comes to any type of food, it turns out.. there's quite a lot that we're just not great at. Hopefully you are also bad at these things.. so that we seem less like losers. Grab some wine too - but be careful not to spill and make a mess.. because it happens a lot to us.

Wine: El Terrano 2016 Albarino and Barokes Bubbly Rose

Parents. They're supposed to be the ones to guide you in life. Pass down their knowledge and wisdom. But....Santa Claus? Not swimming 30 minutes after you've eaten? You need a husband???!!!! Our parents love us (or at least, we think they do), but MAN can they lie. In this episode, Jacks and Viv run down the list of lies their parents told them as kids... and into adulthood.

Wine: SIMI Sonoma County Chardonnay and Steel and Oak Blush Rose Saison

The day has finally come. After fighting off elbow-less weirdos and homeless suitors, ages of searching all the dating apps, Jacks is finally the plunge. Yup. She's moving in with her boyfriend. In this episode, Viv answers Jacks' burning questions on how to cohabitate with her SO without killing each other. Viv doesn't really give the best advice, but that's all Jacks has, so it is what it is. Let's hope their boyfriends don't kick them out after this episode...

Which do you celebrate?

So.. we're bad a lot of things... like, a LOT. BUTTTTT there are some we actually are REALLY good at. In this episode, Jacks and Viv regail us with tales of triumph. If you want tips on how to drunkenly remove makeup, inhale way too many nuggets or hide your disregard of personal hygiene, Jacks is your girl! What's Viv good at?

Welp, we kicked 2020 to the curb!!! And here we are, 2 weeks into the new year and.....it's not any better. Hmm.. So with another round of stay at home orders and extensions on state of emergencies, Jacks and Viv are now pros on how to stay somewhat sane and have questionable fun during quarantine. In this episode, they share all the best hacks (tried and true!) and ideas (not great) that will keep you amused and entertained while staying safe at home. And NO, it’s not just drinking wine. Well, maybe.

2020 is almost done (WOO HOO!) Considering we spent pretty much the entire year in sweat pants and aspiring to be nothing more than a potato, a lot of our goals for this past year flew out the window along with our plans to socialize, travel and put makeup on. So as this dumpster fire of a year concludes, Jacks and Viv share some of their top contenders for New Year’s resolutions for 2021. 

Wine: Darioush 2018 Duel Cab Sauv Shiraz Blend and XOXO Botanical Peach Orange Blossom

"He sees you when you're sleeping. He knows when you're awake.."

Ahhh.. the jolly fat man in red pajamas… no, we’re not talking about your drunk Uncle Jerry, but none other than Santa himself! In this episode, Jacks and Viv discuss the enigma that is Santa Claus, and share all of our burning questions. From how he enters a home, to his Christmas Eve flight path choice to how he collects elves and whether or not he needs to pay taxes. And seriously, with all the cookies and candy canes, how does he not have diabetes yet? Grab your boozy eggnog and buckle up - this one’s a must-listen!

"It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas..."

It's officially DECEMBER!!! And that means singing along to Michael Bublé's Christmas album, decorating the tree and every available space in your home, and throwing out the horrid scale (calories don't count until January 1st right?). In this episode, Jacks and Viv share their favourite family holiday traditions from reindeer games to DIY martinis (as Jesus intended) and more. So refill your eggnog and rum and tell Santa to hold off until you're done with this holly jolly episode of Jacks and Viv!
