  • [Ep. 80 Mystical] Not Saying It's Crystals, BUT She Does Have A Straight Spine

    Welcome to another episode! 


    This week we are getting to cover the topic: mystical! The drink this time around was red wine, and while at the store Skylar was tempted by a holiday themed bottle. So that's what we are drinking to celebrate the first episode in December!

    Brittany didn't have a topic this week, her brain wouldn't let her focus, she's terribly sorry. So we just chit-chat for a bit in the beginning. If you'd like to move right along to Skylar's segment, you'll want to skip the first 20/25ish minutes.


    Skylar talks about one of her favorite practicing tools: crystals! She goes over 10 of the best crystals for beginners and their properties/uses. Also, since she's Skylar, she sprinkles in actual science with her whimsy. So if you are a crystal girlie but also enjoy some good science facts, this is the one for you!

    **Also, please don't replace medicine/therapy/common sense with crystals!

  • [Ep.79 History/Just Chatting] Surprise A/B/O & A Very Sturdy Feline

    Welcome to another episode!

    This week we are talking about history while drinking white wine! Well, Brittany is going to talk about history this week, Skylar might not have an actual segment this week, but that's okay because we are great at vamping. So the episode is more like a 'just chatting' with a little bit of history in the middle somewhere. We are both drinking a pinot grigio.


    Brittany talks about the best, in her opinion, figure from WWll: Unsinkable Sam. If you aren't familiar with the legend, Unsinkable Sam is a cat, sometimes known as Oskar, who survived multiple ship sinkings during WWll. There's also some talk about animals during war time in general during her section, and this is really just a cute little tale about a cat.


    All Thats Interesting

    History Skills


    Skylar promises to redeem herself next week! She does chit-chat some about the crazy shows she is currently watching. We talk about AP high-school classes, how neither of us used to sleep when we were younger, and more random things like that!

  • [Ep.78 Movies] The Chaotic Creative Process & Bizarre Celeb Cameos

    This week we are talking about a movie while drinking a pick of Brittany's choosing. She had some peach seltzer leftover from a family get-together, so that's what we're drinking this week. While sipping on these we discuss the movie: Begin Again.


    Begin Again is a comedy drama that focuses on two going through a rough patch in their life, who happen to have a chance encounter and begin a promising collaboration.


    The movie was written and directed by John Carney. It stars Keira Knightley and Mark Ruffalo. It was released in 2013 and received 5 award wins and 18 nominations. Including an Oscar nomination for 'Best Achievement in Music Written for Motion Pictures, Original Song' for the song "Lost Stars". This is a very 'chill' movie that is big on vibes, but very enjoyable to watch. Especially if you like movies that revolve around music and the creative process.


    **Spoiler warning, if you have not seen this movie and would like it to not be ruined for you**

  • [Ep.77 Culture, Travel, & Language] Don't Try To Find Us Because We'd Rather Be In France

    Welcome to another episode! 

    This week we are back on our couch classroom to hopefully teach you a few things. It's actually as if we are both back in our high school classrooms this week! So get your notebooks ready! We are going to be doing this while sipping on some white wine.

    Brittany is going to discuss some facts, knowledge, legends, etc. about France. France is obviously a very historical, important, and timely country so Brittany's section is a very, very light dive into some cultural aspects. There's some art talk, religion talk, and the always important discussion of if 'french fries' are actually french. There's also a little talk about a few travel destinations. (We're also not going to talk about how she said 'philosophers' in this episode...it's already haunting her nightmares.)

    Skylar is going to touch very lightly on some important but basic french sayings, terms, and pronunciation. Skylar's section is a little shorter than what she normally tries to do in these episodes, but French is a language she learned so long ago and is so familiar with that it was hard to determine what to start with. So just keep that in mind, but we may always dive deeper in the future!

    Skylar would like to remind everyone that she is by no means an expert or an official teacher. She is simply someone who loves to learn, loves to share her passions, and loves languages. As we are both just trying this episode to teach ourselves more about the world, and hopefully you as well, we are completely open and willing to learning more on the subject, or if there are any corrections anyone might have to share with us.


    As always, thanks so much for listening! If you enjoy us enough to share or recommend us to a friend, we would love you that much more!

  • [Ep.76 Paranormal] Vacation Spots to Hell & A Man Ruins it All

    Welcome back to another episode!

    This week, in the perfect way to end spooky season, we get to talk about Paranormal! A topic we haven't spun since the premier of this season. It was Brittany's turn to pick drinks this week and she went with Bloody Mary's.


    At one point before Brittany's section Skylar mentioned this tiktoker:

    Free Palestine!


    Brittany talks about a couple of popular theorized "Gates to Hell". Hell gates are said to be all over the world and each one has many stories and lore surrounding it. She talks about one in Louisiana and the Czech Republic.

    Czech Republic


    In her section, Skylar talks about the haunting of the Lake Club ghost! This is the ghost of Rudy Cranor who was a bartender at the club. He seems like a perfectly lovely ghost who was maybe just a little prank-y and then a man came and ruined it all.

    As always, thanks for listening!

  • [Ep.75 Cooking] The Pathwork Edited Episode Thanks To The Failure of The Audacity Program
    Welcome back for another episode!
    Once again we find ourselves back in the kitchen! Brittany was in charge of the meal this time so we are cooking a mushroom stroganoff. While cooking this, we sip on a nice earthy pinot noir.
    **Please note, that while editing this episode the audio program we have used since the beginning of this podcast, decided to just drop half of our audio when we were listening back to it to edit it?? This is extremely frustrating as we had to very sloppily edit this into something but it's not at all what this episode should have been.
    Topics you missed out on:
    -a lengthy A03 discussion, as well as Skylar's process and history with writing fanfiction, as well as her two A03 alias's
    -2 separate conversations about the horrible things that are happening in Palestine and what you can do to help. *we were going to attach some links here for donation sites, but these have all become blocked from getting to the people that need it, so instead we encourage you to look into what is happening, share on social media, be as loud as you can. It could help more than you think!
    -an insane, but important census story that involved Skylar's family
    -Brittany's fighting with her oven and burning the garlic bread, TWO separate times
    -Pretty much our entire conversation while eating our meal
    -Tattoo talk
    -Brittany described the show 'Hot Ones' to Skylar
    -what makes stroganoff what it is
    -our spin for next week as well as our normal outro
    **It's pretty fair to say we are pissed about this (this episode should have been 2.5 hours long) so not only does it feel like our time was wasted, but you should have gotten a better episode. Because it was! We had some really fun conversations as well as some really honest and deep ones.
    We are going to be looking into new ways to record going forward, so if you have any program suggestions, please send them our way.
    **This was recorded while we were actually cooking/eating this meal, so there are many sounds you might hear in a kitchen setting. Therefore, there may be some jarring bangs, clangs, and hisses. If you are sensitive to sudden sounds, please keep this in mind. There's also some dog and cat noises.
    As always, thanks for listening!

  • [Ep.74 True Crime(not really though)] The Departure of 'True Crime' & The Intro of 'Fake Crime'

    Welcome to another episode!

    This week the drink was Skylar's choice and the topic was true crime! This week Skylar decided to go with a vanilla bourbon with diet coke. It was mostly bourbon, but it was good!

    This episode might be weird for everyone, and it might even be disappointing for some, but in this episode we explain why we are getting rid of the 'True Crime' category on our wheel.

    The short of it is, this is our podcast and we've always wanted it to mainly be just fun for us. As popular as 'true crime' is for a lot of listeners to different podcasts it was not a fun category for us. We got really bummed out each time the category was spun, and we have decided that's not something we want to do anymore for our own personal enjoyment and for the fact that we struggle with the morality of even covering it as a topic in the first place.

    Our replacement idea was maybe we cover 'fake crime' so for example, crimes that happen in tv shows and movies, or in books. That way, they do not affect any real life people and it could still be fun and probably crazy because we each consume vastly different genres of media.

    We unfortunately didn't really come into this episode prepared, so you get our reasonings for why we are saying goodbye to true crime and then it just becomes a bit like a 'just chatting' episode. However, we do both talk about two different things that involve crimes so there's that. Brittany talks about the crazy book she just finished and Skylar goes into a tangent about the current show she is watching that drives her up the wall.

    As always, thanks so much for listening! If you enjoy us enough to share or recommend us to a friend, we would love you that much more!

  • [Ep.73 People] You Can't Have My Skin & Birds, Birds Everywhere!

    Welcome to another episode!


    We are back from our accidental 'summer break', these things happen but we are happy to be back! This week we are sipping on some white wine and talking about people! (Formerly the category: creators/creatives)


    Brittany is talking about English actor: Neil Newbon. He is a professional actor and voice over artist and has worked in film, TV, theater, and in high-profile AAA video games in full performance capture. Best known for his work in Detroit: Become Human, Resident Evil Village, and Baldur's Gate 3.

    Skylar is talking about American actor, musician, and first love of her life: River Phoenix. River's first notable role was in the film Stand by Me in 1986 and he went on to have many memorable roles and had a promising career ahead of him, but tragically died at the age of 23.

  • [Ep.72 Psychology] Failing Erikson's Stages: The Podcast
    Welcome back to another episode lovelies!
    This week we are in Skylar heaven because the topic is psychology and the drink is white wine, two of her favorites! There's a fair bit of chit-chat in the beginning this week, as usual, but if you want to just skip to the actual topic you'll want to skip to about the 21 minute mark.
    This week's episode might be a little on the shorter side, and you can blame Brittany for that. She actually doesn't have a topic this week, so it'll be just one topic..kinda. (We're us, so of course we babble on about some other topics).
    Skylar covers a very small portion of Developmental Psych. This is actually a topic she's wanted to cover for a while now, but has been saving it for a psychology episode. We just seem to spin this topic less than the others! Of course, Developmental Psych is a big topic, so she is actually only going to go over the two main theories associated with it.  
    As always, thanks for listening!

  • [Ep.71 Random] The Bisexual, Poly, Literary Queen of Sci-Fi & Skylar Teaches A College Course..No Really..

    Welcome to another episode!

    This week we got to choose literally whatever we wanted to talk about
    because we got the topic 'random' and once again: we're quite random. We also finally got to drink something good this week, because we got red wine! Brittany is drinking a Cabernet and Skylar is enjoying a Pinot Noir.

    Brittany is stepping away from folklore this go around, and instead talking about one of the literary OG's. Mary Shelley was an English novelist, most notably known as the author of Frankenstein. What you might not know though, is that her life was actually kinda crazy, and we are here to talk about some of it!


    The Unsex'd Females

    British Library

    Brandeis University


    We joke a lot about Skylar teaching college courses on the pod, but this time it just may very well be the honest truth of it. She came in with a whopping 36 pages of notes for her topic this week: Ethics. This is a topic she has been working on covering for a while now, so she was very excited and so happy to finally be able to. For context, we've never had notes that are that long before, so be ready for a long section. She was very factual, informative, and withheld any bias in her segment, so it's a good one if you are curious about Ethics as a whole.
