Afterwards we chat about being strange and owning it. Everyone has something that they like that other people would find a bit weird. Maybe it is current, or something from your childhood. Perhaps you were bullied about it in the past, or are scared of what people would think about it now. The best way to get through these things is to step up and own it. Make it yours, and take away their ammo to use against you. Well in this episode, we go through some of our own strangeness and step up to own it.

In celebration of Cinco de Mayo, we are having a flight of cocktails. All of these cocktails are tequila based, and recipes for each of them can be found at caskmatespodcast.com/cinco-de-mayo-2019.

Throughout the episode we chat about each cocktail and rank them from our most to least favorite. A heads up, we do have 5 cocktails throughout the episode, and as such we get pretty tipsy. This results in a rather rough recording. We apologize now, and you can blame Marissa for the cocktail flight idea.

Above all, thanks for listening and we hope you have a safe and happy Cinco de Mayo. Music by The Passion HiFi
