Witcher 3

Skylar is once again going to teach us all a bit of something that would be taught in a college course. This time, she talks about Murphy's Law! You may think you know what Murphy's Law is, but we bet you do not know a lot of the chaos behind it's origins.

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!

This week we are talking about a movie while drinking something that we do not like, yay. Skylar is drinking a mango habanero cider (she does not like spicy things) and Brittany is drinking a cotton candy wine (she does not like overly sweet things). While, unfortunately, sipping on these we discuss the movie: Palm Springs.

Palm Springs is a Sci-FY romantic comedy from 2020. While stuck at a wedding in Palm Springs our nihilistic male lead meets the maid of honor and draws her into his offbeat world where he thinks nothing really matters. The two embrace this idea throughout the movie and they begin wreaking spirited havoc on the wedding celebration.

The film was directed by Max Barbakow and was written by Andy Siara and Max Barbakow. The movie stars Andy Samberg, Cristin Milioti, J.K. Simmons, and Peter Gallagher. The film was nominated for 45 different awards, and won 15 of them, including the award for the Critics Choice Super Award for best Science Fiction/Fantasy Movie. Palm Springs is a Hulu original film full of humor, heart, and quite a few surprises. This was a fun and easy to watch movie that we really enjoyed, and think you would enjoy as well!

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

**Trigger warning for some themes in this movie that we do discuss in the episode: drugs and suicide.

Welcome to another episode!

This week we are here to talk about one of our favorite topics, music, while we sip on something we like. Skylar had leftover mango White Claw from last time, so she is enjoying that while Brittany is sipping on one of her staples, which is a gin and tonic.

Donald McKinley Glover Jr., also known by his stage name Childish

Brittany talks about Donald Glover Jr., also known by his stage name: Childish Gambino. Donald is an American actor, comedian, singer, rapper, writer, director, and producer. He does anything and everything it seems. Which means, her segment is a little longer this time. It's also full of lots of information, so strap in, because it's a lot to get through. We are now 100% convinced Donald does not sleep. He is a very talented man, and there was so much we learned about him. *Note: Brittany was apparently having a horrible time with words this recording, so be prepared for that I guess.

Skylar finally talks about one of her favorite musicians: Hozier. Andrew John Hozier-Byrne is an Irish musician, singer, and songwriter. His music draws from folk, soul, and blues and is often full of religious and literary themes. We're sure everyone in the world knows the song "Take Me To Church", and we're so glad for that because we love Hozier on this podcast and love getting to talk about people we enjoy! Skylar did a very good job at holding in her tangents on the topic, but as always, you get her list of favorite songs at the end of her section. (Spoiler: it's every single Hozier song. Because he's amazing.)

Welcome to another episode!

This week we get to talk a little about some history and we get to do this while drinking something we like. Skylar is enjoying a lovely mango white claw and Brittany is combining two things she likes to see if they work together. It was a fad for a while on TikTok to combine red wine and diet coke, so she thought she would try it.

We talk a bit more in the beginning since we haven't recorded in a few weeks, so feel free to skip the first 25-ish minutes if you don't want the chit-chat.

Brittany talks about a rarely discussed moment in history involving James Jameson, heir to Jameson Irish Whiskey, and an unspeakable crime that he may or may not have committed. Giving the time frame of the incident and that there are varying accounts of the ordeal, we may never actually know what led to this terrible event that occurred. It DID happen though, and she talks about a few of the main variations of the event.

Trigger warnings for this section include: slavery, racism, child abuse, and cannibalism

Skylar then goes on to talk about another not so happy event in history. She discusses The Radium Girls, who were female factory workers that contracted radiation poisoning from painting watch dials in the early 1900s. These girls, and many others, suffered due to careless factory conditions and people in charge but they were able to use their circumstances to make a change and fight back some.

Welcome back for another episode and let's get this out of the way early: this episode is chaotic!

Once again we find ourselves back in the kitchen! This time with a guest! Skylar's brother Bret is home on leave from Japan and decided to join us. Skylar was in charge of the meal this time so we are cooking a White Bean Chicken Chili. While cooking this, we sip on some white wine.

We don't really have any specific topics we are mostly just chit-chatting. There's some light arguing, picking on each other, sibling things, etc. As mentioned above, it's just pretty chaotic and an hour of the recording was cut so you can just imagine what you missed.

**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!

xCheers!

Welcome to another episode!

This week the drink was Brittany's choice and the topic was true crime! Brittany decided to go with an iced 'hot toddy' since it sorta ties into her segment, and it was also a weirdly warm day here. As always with us, if you want to skip our beginning chit-chat you are going to want to skip ahead about 20 minutes! Sorry, we don't know how to shut up and this is usually how it goes here! 

Brittany talks about The Urantia Book, which is a religious text that claims to be from aliens and is essentially a cult. (It literally uses the word 'cult' in the book, so..)  It's a very bizarre text with very bad beliefs. She also talks about how this cult has ties to a very popular tea brand. America's number 1 tea company, to be exact. It seems that not a lot of people are aware of this connection, but this cult has again, very not good beliefs and more people should be aware of these things. Not claiming anything about the tea company itself, just talking about some of it's lesser known origins. 

Trigger warnings for: racism, race eugenics, cults, religion, etc.

Food & Wine Article

Skylar goes in a lighter direction this week and tells a few different 'Florida Man' crime accounts. She originally did these "notes" when she was without a computer and was also during a very busy work time period for herself. Therefore, her section is more like a 'narration' of these crimes, as she is just reading different articles from Buzzfeed. They will be linked below if you want to see them for yourself! 

Trigger warnings for: Florida I guess

This week we are talking about a movie while drinking something that Brittany picked. Brittany wanted to sort of match the drink to the movie so we are sipping on a a French 75 with a twist. This drink is made up of prosecco and gin like a normal French 75, but instead of lemon juice and simple syrup, Brittany made a mixed berry syrup since the movie is kinda fruity and also french. While sipping on that, we talked about the movie: Portrait of a Lady on Fire.

Portrait of a Lady on Fire is a French film from 2019. In the eighteenth century, a female painter, Marianne, is hired to paint a wedding portrait of a young woman, Heloise, who does not what to sit for the painting, since she does not want to go through with the wedding. The two grow closer during their time together on an isolated island in Brittany. 

The film was written and directed by Celine Sciamma and stars Noemie Merlant, Adele Haenel, Luana Bajrami, and Valeria Golino. The movie was nominated and won many different awards including the Queer Palm award at the 2019 Cannes Film Festival. Making it the first film directed by a woman to win this award. This is a very beautiful and bittersweet movie. It has little dialogue and instead relies heavily on body language, tension, and emotional expression. If you are a fan of arty films, foreign films, or just want to look at gorgeous cinematography with a lovely storyline, we think you might like this one! We sure did. 

The Vanity Fair article that Skylar mentioned in the episode. 

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

**Trigger warning for some themes in this movie that we do discuss in the episode: abortion, drugs, and suicide.

Welcome to another episode!

This week we are once again sipping on some white wine and we talk about some people that we enjoy, and the various things they do.

Brittany is talking about YouTuber: Safiya Nygaard. Safiya gained prominence through Buzzfeed and is now well known from her personal YouTube. Mainly through her very popular 'Bad Makeup Science' series, which involves her destroying beauty products and then combining them together to create "Franken" products. 

YouTube

Skylar finally talks about a couple of her favorites: Cody Ko and Noel Miller. They were big back in the vine scene and are now well known for their YouTube channels. They are also well known as 'Tiny Meat Gang' which was their music duo name. They also host 'The Tiny Meat Gang Podcast' and quite a few other things.

Welcome to another episode! And also a very Happy Birthday today to our Skylar! (And to the podcast)

This week we are drinking some boxed white wine, snacking on some charcuterie, and dropping all kinds of tea. Our 'topic' this week is more of a non-topic so come join us as we just chit-chat about nothing for a bit.

We cover a wide range of nothing, which is something we excel at. We talk some about Skylar's bad day, wrecks, hair adventures, celeb gossip, and some light book talk towards the end.  It's a fun casual time this week!

Welcome to another episode! 

This week we are getting to cover the topic: mystical! The drink this week was 'a drink we like' so Skylar is drinking a white wine blend and Brittany is having a diet coke with some coconut rum and banana liqueur. This week's episode is a little shorter than normal, but it's still a fun one!

Brittany talks some of the legendary witch: Baba Yaga. Baba Yaga is a figure featured heavily in Slavic folklore and fairy tales. She is known as a sort of 'bogey-woman' since it's claimed that she likes to eat children. She also resides in the woods in a hut that stands on chicken's feet and walks around. There is a lot more to her than meets the eye though, and in a weird way she can be seen as a feminist witch for women and we love her for that.

Skylar had a super crazy-busy week this week and so she doesn't actually have a segment this go around. We still love her though and hope she is getting enough sleep.
