Oh what a year it's been!!

We missed y'all 

Welcome back to Sunshine, Sherry & Shenanigans! Starring Hanni Martini, Tara Collins, & Jessica Baker Daza. The only thing that’s drier than the wine, is the sharp sense of humour. Today we’ve got our best guest yet: Susan Power, an amazing chef and event coordinator that the shownotes writer shows absolutely no bias towards in the slightest! We go on to plot the seduction of Jean-Claude Van Damme, recall Minecraft-induced Machiavellian drama, reflect on how white everything is, and concoct the perfect curry. 

“We used to play the game of ‘What would you like to hear the least about you?’ And we came up with- ‘She was a stout woman.’ ” -Susan 

“He absolutely deserved to lose his driving license for drunk driving. (Pause) And getting caught.” -Tara 

“The phrase used about him that you wouldn’t want to hear, is ‘He’s an elderly portly gentleman of limited means.’ “ -Tara 

“We should probably wonder why we’re still wearing Def Leppard’s lingerie.” -Hanni

“Did Carley really find out that you’re moving to Malaga from a conversation about a moyete?” -Susan 

“...She’s terrifying!” -Tara 

“I was lying in bed, listening to the boys fighting over Minecraft, and it was escalating- And I heard Arthur shout- ‘If you die right now, I will laugh.’ But Malachi came back strongly with ‘I hope you shit your pants.’ “ -Susan 

“Again, it’s the oppressed vs the oppressors on this podcast…” -Jess 

“She does go on about this- It was only 600 years!” -Susan 

“Maggie’s Spit or Swallow today is Tara.” -Jess 

“You like Coddle? I’m surprised, because that’s seen as poor people food.” -Susan 

“Well it’s- It’s not poor people food, it’s rustic!” -Jess “Oh, look at that reaction!” -Tara 

“Even we have boundaries. Not many, but they’re there.” -Tara

Today we navigate the social labyrinth of handing back oranges, discuss under-the-table clam juice dealers, and experience podcast mutiny. 

"I’ll be in the corner with vodka & orange. My chosen breakfast drink.” -Jessica “I’m like you, but funner.” -Hanni to Jessica 

“Well, you say we woke up...” -Tara “Came around. It’s different.” -Jessica 

“And! The vice president is both black, Asian, woman- She’s got it all!” -Jessica “

...I think your words were ‘She not only has a womb, but she’s of ethnic minority.’ “ -Tara 

“What have you brought to the party, this morning?” -Hanni “My fuckin’ wit.” -Tara

Today we recover from a Marmite-fuelled haze, provide bulletproof legal advice, confirm that it's not arrogant to prove that we're the best, and worship the holy courgette.

“Liver pudding- Sounds stunning when you say it out loud.” -Jessica

“I am the least capable I’d say food-wise.” -Tara

“Law and Order: Cádiz.” -Tara

“Please, officer, I was either breaking the law today or breaking it much worse yesterday because I was fuckin’ smashed.” -Hanni

“It’s because we’re, as I would say, better.” -Tara

In this episode the girls welcome wine-o Luke Darracott of Madrid & Darracott as their FIRST GUEST. Luke tries to take three uneducated lushes through a wine 'education'. 

Of course when you let a couple of half-cut cougars loose with an unsuspecting, wine-loving 30-something male you're going to get the appropriate amount of inappropriateness, to accompany what should be a classy sherry-tasting. 

"Granny is just for Christmas, but not the wine" - Luke 

"The good old days when we could lick each others faces" - Luke 

Luke "Before you had to finish your date and make a decision by midnight" Hanni "Good for you, having choices" 

Hanni "He's [Luke] a bit old for you" Tara "Are you over 30?!" 

"It was as if you'd said 'the Germans should have won'" - Luke 

"Listen you old bat, I'm a qualified alcoholic" - Luke 

Jess "I have an older relative" Tara "Good for you - ours are all dead" 

"She's not a very effective drinker" - Jess 

"She's very tall so when she falls...." - Jess 

"It's not about the size, it's all about the presentation" - Luke 

"I also have an enormous penis" - Luke 

"He started it" - Tara

In this episode we firmly confirm that we’re not involved in human trafficking, berate the American dinner, and revel in our newly found influencer powers.

“...I don’t think the Jehovah's are banned from podcasts, are they?” -Tara

“I cannot afford the price of human trafficking.” -Hanni

(Talking about passed away parents) “Neither of mine.” (Pause) “Okay, well, half.” -Jessica

“The only thing that’s saving (this topic) is the fact that we’re drinking cava.” -Hanni 

“Tara was let loose in the supermarket, and came back with three forty bottles.” -Jessica “...Not forty bottles, some bottles at 3.40!” -Tara 

“...To be honest, I’m not gonna lie, I’m still not sure last night if I had watermelon or tuna.” -Jessica 

“Everything has truffle, and I am living for it!” -Jessica 

“A happy bunch of Christmas rejects, with nowhere else to go, happily gathered together!” -Tara 

(Talking about Santa Claus) “I don’t think he’s an actual saint.” -Hanni “I mean, he is a saint for putting up with us and coming every year!” -Jessica 

“Tara is in a dress that nobody knows whey she ever, ever, ever would’ve ordered it. ...Well I could see why you would’ve ordered it in 1996, but the internet didn’t exist back then.” -Hanni 

“We are educators among swine.” -Jessica

Welcome back to Sunshine, Sherry & Shenanigans! Starring Hanni Martini, Tara Collins, & Jessica Baker Daza. The only thing that’s drier than the wine, is the sharp sense of humour.

Today we're lamenting about home responsibilities, considering the buffalo-spiced bug, and discovering the true meaning of the 90s.

“We do actually have day jobs, believe it or not.”

“The main problem that we have on this particular weekend is that we only went to one restaurant.”

“It’s appalling!”

“You could… only go down head-first?”

“We can do what we want. All we do is win win win!”

“I think it’s about 6 centimetres long- How long would that be in your old-times measurements, Jess?”

“What’s your Gra of the week, this week?”

This week we’re all about Nigella hash cakes, old man dates and the hugely underrated old town of Estepona via flights, day drinking and ex pats on Facebook groups.

As usual we chat on Gras of the week, what we’ve been eating, what we’d spit or swallow and the eternal question of what is an appropriate age of man to date.

We have a brand new feature #Nable you will LOVE IT. Promise. Pop and give us a listen.
