This week on Sake & Hot Tubs, Lisa and Fred are back in the hot tub for a solo episode — and this one starts with a simple idea: sit at the bar.

Not for the drinks (well… maybe a little), but for the conversation, connection, and sense of community that comes from being open and available to the people around you.

They talk about why those small moments of interaction matter, how relationships can start in the most unexpected places… and why being approachable might be more important than ever.

Also — a very important exception to the rule: maybe don't bring your tiny dog in your purse. 😅

Shout out to Liquor Lovers in Ankeny for the great selection
