Sip N' Spin

Welcome to another episode!

This week we are discussing the movie Booksmart while we drink red wine. Booksmart is a coming-of-age film that follows two best friends who focused on academics in high school, only to realize on the eve of graduation that they should have worked less and played more. Therefore, they try to cram four years of missed fun into one night. Booksmart came out in 2019 and was the directorial debut of Olivia Wilde.

This movie stars Beanie Feldstein, Kaitlyn Dever, Jason Sudeikis, Lisa Kudrow, Will Forte, and Billie Lourd. It's a very fun and fresh take on the classic "high-school" comedy. So whether you're a fan of the movie, like hearing about movies before watching them, or some other type of movie fan..we hope you enjoy us discussing this movie in a casual and loose manner!

**Spoiler warning, if you have not seen this movie and would like it to not be ruined for you** We did greatly enjoy it, and do definitely recommend it if it seems like your type of film.

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!

xCheers!

Welcome back for another episode!

(Big ole notice: This episode was actually recorded back in March of this year(2022) and is just now being released. This is the last release that was recorded months ago. Going forward from here, they are newly recorded.)

Once again we find ourselves back in the kitchen! Skylar was in charge of picking what we were cooking and since it was sorta close to St. Patrick's Day when this was recorded, she went with some "Irish Party Foods" This included soda bread, mac & cheese, and a fennel & leek soup. It was a very pale meal but everything tasted good! Unfortunately we had to drink something we didn't like so in keeping with the theme we tried to dye some Guinness beer green, but we just ended up with green foam..oh well. We still didn't like it.

While we are cooking/eating this time we are also answering some of the "36 Questions to Fall in Love" that was from the NY Times

**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. Also, much like last week there is some audio issues in the first half of this episode. It clears up once we are sitting down & not cooking. Plus, Brittany's Dog makes herself known a few times..such is life.

As always, thanks for listening!

xCheers!

Hello loves, and welcome back for another episode!

(Big ole notice: once again, this episode was actually recorded back in February of this year(2022) and is just now being released. ALSO this episode does have some audio issues that we apologize for. Hopefully going forward with new recordings, this is fixed.)

Ahhh, TV. A topic that has been the bane of our existence for this whole podcast. Therefore, we have officially removed TV from our spin wheel. So please join us for this final episode of the topic in this random-nonsense filled farewell to TV.

This is a very short and casual discussion about many different TV and TV-adjacent things. We play some games. Skylar doesn't know much TV trivia, Brittany doesn't know what X Factor is. Skylar goes off on a Love Island rant and describes 9-1-1 Lonestar. Brittany misses 90's era crazy reality TV shows. This episode is just a lot, and it's also just nothing at the same time.

We hope you can stick with us for it, again, we know the audio kinda sucks and it's a weird format, but we hope it's still fun!

As always, thanks for listening!

xCheers!

Feel free to reach out to us!

Helloooo beautiful people! We are officially back for the year 2022

 Welcome to our first episode of the season!

(Big ole notice: we actually recorded the first three episodes of this year starting in January, but for many different reasons we are just now releasing them. So please bear with the first few episodes, but we are officially back!)

We are kicking off our season premier with a Skylar-centric episode. The topic is psychology and she got to pick the drink. Therefore, we are enjoying a peach-mango hard cider.

Brittany originally wanted to discuss the psychology and phenomenon behind "why little spoon good" but, this led her down a rabbit hole. So she is actually going to be getting into some subtle signs and things to be aware of for disordered eating, that could eventually turn into an eating disorder. So trigger warning for her section if this would not be something you'd enjoy hearing about.

Sources

If you would like more information or would like to get help or just talk to someone, you can contact the national eating disorders helpline for support, resources and treatment options:

                         They have online chat Monday-Friday

                        You can call or text as well

If you are in a cirsis and need help immediately, text "NEDA" to 741741 to be connected with a trained volunteer at Crisis Text Line.

Skylar talks some about abnormal psychology. Abnormal psych is psychological disorders. This includes mental health disorders/mental illness disorders. She takes a very shallow dive into the topic and is much more technical than Brittany's but still, keep the topic in mind if you feel it could trigger you. She uses her notes from high school, as well as just her own knowledge and understanding of psychology. 

We are very happy to be back and putting out content for you guys. 

We can't promise that we will be any more put together than last year, but we hope you welcome us back and have a good time.!

xCheers!

Welcome to another episode, and also, welcome to our last episode of the year! (2021)

This week we are discussing the topic: TV. We are actually going to be talking about 1 specific show this week and we are doing this while we sip on some glasses of red wine. We are drinking some 7moons red wine, which is just a blend of different grape varietals.

The show we are going to be discussing is: Midnight Mass. We both watched this show separately and now we are going to break it down and discuss the events and our feelings in details. Obviously a BIG spoiler warning for this episode, please do not listen if you do not want this show to be ruined for you. We of course want you to listen to all of our episodes if you like us, but we both really quite loved this show and think you should watch it and THEN come back and listen to this. Or if you just don't care about spoilers, then by all means, join us!

This is a bit of a long one. We break down the events of each episode and discuss a variety of different topics that are covered. Skylar, having grown up in heavy religion is also about to provide some Bible history that accompanies each episode. All in all, this was a really fun one for us to make and it's also one of our longer ones. We just had a bunch to say about it.

Midnight Mass is an American supernatural horror miniseries created and directed by Mike Flanagan. It stars Zach Gilford, Kate Siegel, Hamish Linklater, Samantha Sloyan, Rahul Kohli, and Henry Thomas. The plot centers on an isolated island community that experiences supernatural events after the arrival of a mysterious priest. This series was released on Netflix on September 24, 2021. 

As mentioned, this is our last episode of this year, so we once again thank you guys for hanging out with us for this year. We didn't always know what we were doing but it was a lot of fun! We hope you come back and listen to us again next year!

xCheers!

Welcome to another episode!

This week we are getting to cover the topic: mystical! It's probably safe to assume that this is one of our favorite topics to cover so we were especially stoked for this week! However, our drink this week was 'a drink we don't like' so that put a slight damper on the recording session. We are both enjoying(?) a whiskey coke. Skylar because she hates whiskey and Brittany because she hates coca-cola and also *honey* whiskey, which was used, she loves just plain whiskey. All in all, a terrible drink, yay!

Brittany goes very slightly into some spiritualism beginnings in the USA talk, because her main focus this week is on the Ouija Board! A taboo and sometimes controversial topic, but one of her personal favorite tools. Nothing we talk about in any episode should be taken as 100% fact and truth, and while Brittany personally believes in most 'mystical' things and takes using these types of tools seriously, our episodes are always supposed to be taken lightly and are for fun.

Skylar goes lightly into the different types of 'witch' classifications and what makes up defining certain major "witch types". This is a very basic dive into this topic, but it's a lot of fun to hear about! Please note that when we got into Skylar's half of the episode, everything became chaotic! There will be quite a few distractions, tangents, and interruptions. Mainly because, that during the recording of her section we were in a tornado warning and so, we had to round up all of Brittany's animals and put them in the basement with us. We were almost done recording though, and wanted to push through with the episode. So we apologize for how off the rails it got towards the end.

*We really enjoyed this topic, and of course like everything else we cover, we are in no way professionals, so just take this for what it is: two curious and open minds who like to talk about fun and interesting things!

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!

xCheers!

Welcome to another episode!  

This week we are talking about some cool people out there making stuff! Brittany was in charge of the drinks, so we are sipping on some white wine.

Brittany talks all about video game developer: Eric Barone, also known as ConcernedApe. He is the creator of the hit game Stardew Valley. We are big fans of this game here and it was a lot of fun to talk about.

For more of Eric's interviews please see these links:

Skylar goes on to talk about Mark Fischbach, also known as Markiplier and Ethan Nestor, known as CrankGameplays. Both are you-tubers and she touches on each of them as individuals but mainly discusses their combined creative project: Unus Annus.

As always, we thank you so much for listening! If you enjoy us, please share!

Welcome to another episode! 

This week's theme is Psychology! Skylar is of course, super pumped for this so get ready for 11 pages from her! This week the drink choice was 'Brittany's Choice' so she went with a tart strawberry lemonade cider. 

Brittany touches some on color psychology. This is a very shallow dive, and focuses more on international connotations with some base colors. She also touches some on brands and how they choose color schemes, and then closes out with some front door color theory. *All of this is of course, not very scientific so don't take it too seriously, but it is still interesting when you break it down!

Skylar is very giddy to talk some about the wonderful and kind-of terrifying brain! There is a lot of terminology and biology in this section so hopefully you are able to follow along and enjoy it. If nothing else, Skylar is always fun to listen to when she's excited about a topic, and this is definitely a topic that makes her very pumped.

Welcome to another episode!

We are back in the kitchen once again! This time we are cooking a dish from the Elder Scrolls cookbook: Baked White River Salmon, and we are having that with some yellow rice. Skylar has never had salmon before and doesn't typically like rice, so this whole meal was a gamble. We do get to sip on drinks we like though! Skylar is enjoying some white wine, and Brittany has a cider.

While we are cooking/eating this time we are also answering some of the "36 Questions to Fall in Love" that was from the NY Times

Welcome to another episode!

This week is a little different, because this is Part 2 of our newest literature episode. We are still discussing 'The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo' and Skylar was still in charge of the drinks. This time, we are enjoying some peach-grapefruit Moscow mules. If you need to go back to last week and listen to part 1 we urge you do to that before continuing with this week's episode. This will be the very last half of the book, and has some major spoilers.

'The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo' by Taylor Jenkins Reid is a historical fiction novel that was published in 2017. It tells the story of the Old Hollywood legend Evelyn Hugo doing a "tell-all" interview to an unknown journalist. In which, she spills all of her secrets and finally tells her truth.

This is a very good book, we both loved it. It's fun but also can punch you in the gut a few times. If you enjoy the glamour of classic Hollywood we encourage you to check it out for yourself!

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!

xCheers!
