This week on the show James talks about how he copes with life’s mania through therapy cooking. Sydnie talks about her recent fitness excursion into CrossFit and gives some pointers on how to start if that sorta thing interest you.

Song Of The Show:
Indisoul - Poetic Justice (Cover)

Mentions: 
Sydnie was introduced to CrossFit through a Facebook ad but she suggest if you want to start CrossFit for yourself that you interview do a couple of things first. One, research exact what CrossFit is, here is the wiki on it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CrossFit. And two, interview your coaches so you know exactly what you’ll be expected to do during a workout and to make sure you feel supported. That’s the only way you’re going to make it through. 

If you’re not into cooking but would like to be, James suggest checking out food network dot com or checking out YouTube. It is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to learning how-tos.

What up Stone Cold Weirdos!? It only took thirty episodes for us to come up with a name for our fans but we did it! Because one of James’s New Year’s Resolutions is to Lean Into The Weird and the two of us are stone cold weirdos, we decided since you all are on here with us you too, are weirdos. Welcome. Now that you’re here, why don’t you stay awhile? This week on the show Sydnie talks about her trip to Paris and offers some travel tips. James powers through his sickness to talk about New Year’s Resolutions and how he celebrated bringing in the New Year.

2016 was really on one. It’s pretty universally agreed it was The Worst. To counter all of it’s negative intent, here’s a list of all the good things that happened last year, according to Buzzfeed.

Put It In My Mouth:
This week, we try Green Flash Brewery’s Fearless Fifty. It’s a saison brewed with Rosehip and Orange Peel. We liked it and think it would go well with a heavy salad or a hardy soup. Here’s what Untappd had to say about it.

Blackest Things:
Moon Girl & Iron Heart are giving James his life with the recent announcement of their collaboration. Here is a link to the Marvel website.

This week on the show Sydnie talks about patting yourself on the back when you do well at work. James found a new storytelling podcast called LifeAfter and it’s by the same people who brought you The Message.

Song Of The Show:
Clipping - Body & Blood
Here is a link to the official video. It’s, umm, jarring and NSFW.

Mentions:
The podcast James mentioned is called LifeAfter and is produced by GE Podcast Theater. Their previous podcast was call The Message and was really good. James and I recommend you listen to it all in one sitting. It feels like it’s about to be terrible until the very end when it was all worth it. Here is a link to subscribe to the show LifeAfter https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-message/id1045990056

Cocktail Time 2.0:
The beer Sydnie talks about it from Martin House Brewery In Fort Worth, TX. It’s called The Imperial Texan and it’s a Double Red Ale (not a red IPA as she mentions in the show). Sydnie thinks it’s good to drink during the late summer and fall, but it being beer is good whenever you want to put it in your mouth. Here’s what Martin House’s has to say about it: http://martinhousebrewing.com/the-beer/imperial-texan/

Blackest Thing:
Sydnie mentions an article written by Ta-nehisi Coates (NOT Bartunta Thirston as she grossly misspoke) about President Obama called My President Was Black. It’s worth reading: https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2017/01/my-president-was-black/508793/

This week on the show Sydnie talks about some blerds and why you should mimic their level of confidence. James talks about how he feels played by Marvel because he waited a year for this story to resolve and it didn't. 

Just a note, there is an annoying hum throughout this episode that couldn't be removed. We are sorry if it annoys you too much to make it through the show.
