Toe beans, toe beans, toe beeaaannss! Welcome back to The SauceBox, y’all! It’s a singy episode this week (only 3 times). Hope y’all had a good 4th of July and still have all your digits and faces!

Nikki gives us a walk through of her trip to Tennessee featuring a sick ass sign her long lost bestie made for her and held up in the airport for everyone to see. From friendship that spans decades, to the perfect fried green tomatoes, to making friends in a cave full of music, to pool parties, Nikki might as well have packed us all in her bag with all that extra space she had.

After we get back to the Pacific Northwest, we get into the meat and taters of it all, the big reason you came back to us kinfolk… the 3rd installment of our series, Exploring Sexual Flavors! *cue horns ‘n’ shit, or a fiddle* Nikki’s throat needs a break after all that travel, so Samara starts us off with Objectum Sexuality followed by what she would consider its subcategory, Mechanophilia. And you bet your bottom dollar she provides two very real people with these philias. Once Nikki is all rested up, she gives us a brief rundown of Voyeurism.

The game this week: Bad Choices! It’s a fan and host favorite, and this week holds some darn tootin’ good ol’ questions. Boy howdy! So, put on your pearl snaps, don your hats, and fix your hair, ‘ cause we’re goin’ out with our boots on!

As always, thank you for being here! Talk at ch’all next week! Bye now!

Shake it like jello, make the boys say “hello” ‘cause they know [we’re] rocking the beat! *insert mental jello jiggling* Welcome back to The SauceBox! Happy 4th of July to all y’all out there, locals and across the pond (we know some of y’all celebrate).

We start out by teasing you about the 5k mud run we did, which we’ll talk about at the end of the episode. We will say, Samara felt like the prettiest pig in the pen! Per usual, we do some catching up. We learn that Samara drove 2,027 miles at work last week, and Nikki is going to be in Tennessee when this episode airs, plus the craziness this month has been. We’re a little coo-coo crazy with a dash of delulu this week, so hold onto your butts.

Nikki starts us off with telling us some funny 4th of July firework stories that later lead into a PSA to not be a stupid idiot tonight through the 5th. Take this as your content warning: she’ll be telling a couple stories of people losing body parts. Some of these graphic stories are not just shocking that Nikki of all people is covering these, but also that a really fun day/night can change lives for the worse.

Samara brings in the tail with some edu-ma-cation about a couple things that the United States Constitution says about the American Flag. Don’t worry, it’s only 5 things, including how to discard the flag with dignity when it is no longer fit to display. Then she moves on to random fun facts about the 4th of July. Lobster racing, hotdog consumption, and some other silly shit. One of Samara’s sources lied to her; it isn’t lobsters being raced, but lobster BOATS. So… here’s the correction.

We take a bit of time to tell y’all about our mud run experience with the Mud Factor 5k run. Everything from the obstacles to our experiences to our injuries. It was a funny and great time. Highly recommend participating in a 5k fun run to everyone!

Game of the week: Put A Finger Down! This was a close one, we had to play a couple tie breakers, ‘cause there can only be one winner!

Let us know how many fingers you had left in the comments on Spotify, Instagram, or our recently made Facebook page! All our links are in our Linktr.ee: ⁠https://linktr.ee/thesauceboxpodcast⁠ 

Notes:

There are a few ways to properly discard of the American flag when it is no longer fit to display, which includes a burning ceremony and ends with burying the ashes (this is the preferred way), recycling it if made of synthetic materials, or burying it in a box or bag so it never touches the dirt.

The Declaration of Independence was signed on August 2, 1776.

Meet your hosts, sisters, Nikki Bratton and Samara Edwards! We give you all a little taste of what we are planning and who we are. First full episode airs Feb 6, 2025!

We are back with our second installment of our kink and fetish series: Exploring Sexual Flavors! This week we go over consensual non-consent, cuckolding, and spectrophilia.

Samara first shares some great news about her boyfriend and what that means for their relationship and then goes into an unusual story of a woman who had to pee while she was working. Then Nikki gives a brief recap of her youngest’s grad party over the weekend and the amazing job her oldest did of planning it (with a little bit of help from Nikki). Oh, and Samara tells us about a disturbing and arguably cute wine stopper she found on Etsy.

Nikki starts us off by giving us a somewhat detailed lesson on the consensual non-consent (CNC) kink: what it is, why some people might be into it, the importance of both trust between partners and communication, how to practice it safely and of course, just like with the breeding kink she spoke about in the first installment of the series, she offers up some role play CNC scenes to experiment with.

Samara then takes us through the cuckolding kink: a brief history, what it means to be a cuck, cuckquean, bull, and the different ways people can experience cuckolding. Then she finishes us off with a very odd fetish: spectrophilia. Yeah, that’s right: a fetish where folks get off with or with the thought of ghosts or spirits. SpoOoky. She gives a movie example, plus some famous people, including Bobby Brown, that claim to have had some sexy experiences with spectors. Maybe that WAS ectoplasm between your legs…

It’s book rec time!

Nikki’s Choice: Ink Blood Sister Scribe by Emma Torzs

Samara’s Choice: A God In The Shed duology by J-F. Dubeau

Bonus Rec from Both of Us: Rose Madder by Stephen King

Game time: Bad Choices! We cover things like pissing yourself, dating someone who makes less than you, sex with a quadriplegic amputee, selling a kidney for a bunch of money, sharting yourself, and streaking naked up and down your street for a nominal amount of money. It’s a good time! What are some of your answers? Tell us in the comments or let us know on Instagram.

We catch you up on what we’ve been up to this past week, with a whirlwind trip up to Washington State for our ‘nephew’s’ graduation from a rinky-dink school in a village, then back home for a dance performance, to how we spent our fatherless Father’s Day.

We dive into our topic for the week: the history of burlesque. Samara takes us across the Atlantic to where it all began, opening our eyes to the very funny and mocking history of Victorian burlesque. Then Nikki gives a timeline tour of American burlesque and a few of the incredible women who really gave burlesque its solid foundation within the states. There’s talk about dress straps failing, a great example of “fuck around and find out”, nerds, and how breaking from the status quo transcends time. Rebellion isn’t a phase, it’s an attitude.

This week’s game: Mind. In. The. Gutter. Every time we play this game Samara does her best to redeem herself from the Tornado card. But who is she kidding? She’ll likely never live it down. Nikki is also the winner of this week’s game. Yay, Nikki!🙌

As a bonus story, we share a lovely little argument with our family while up in Washington State. It was all in the name of fun… and choosing sides. A family divided is a family united.

Nerdlesque Festival is annual, started 2014, held in D.C. So, for all our listeners in the D.C. area, go check it out for us and report back!

As all you wonderful listeners know, June is set to be a very busy month for us! We recap our first week of June sharing our massive pride and full hearts for Nikki’s youngest, who graduated from high school with Outstanding Achievement aka a 3.95 GPA!! Congratulations, Sydney! Then Nikki tells us about Lebanon, OR’s lackluster ‘Strawberry’ Festival, which celebrated its 116th year this year. After 67 years, one would think that the committee in charge of the festival would be absolutely on point with the festival, but at last they failed to deliver… in a big way to be honest. Samara shares a fun little story of her bad eyesight. Don’t worry, her boyfriend already made fun of her for it.

Nikki provides the low down on the distinction between kinks and fetishes, as they get used interchangeably, and helps us understand what the differences actually are. As Guy Fieri might say, “Welcome to Flavor Town!”. Our first stop on this freight of flavor, Samara, will be handing out tasting samples of Figging, a small sampling of Caning, followed by the sizzle of Stygiophilia (Stie-gio-phillia). Don’t get too full, because after you finish tasting these, Nikki is going to be dishing out a bold flavor for y’all to try… Breeding. She’ll even give y’all some ideas and scenarios to play with. You’re welcome!

Have a kink or fetish you’d like us to cover? Shoot us a message or comment and we’ll add it to the list!

Game this week: Put A Finger Down! Nikki ends with 3 fingers up, and, well, Samara only has one. She carries the degenerate title this week.

Some clarification: The term "figging" comes from the 19th-century word "feaguing." “Feaguing” is actually “gingering”, but this relates to training a horse to hold its tail high.

Meet your hilarious hosts, sisters, Nikki and Samara! We give y'all a little taste of what you can expect once you step inside our SauceBox. Buckle up, baby, it's gonna be one hell of a ride!

Welcome back our sexy and saucy listeners! Nikki regails us with the events of her night out with a group of friends who went out to karaoke, including one guy who completely failed and still acted like he was a headliner at a concert and another guy who bravely (and successfully) took on Whitney Houston’s “I Have Nothing”. This week, Samara just has a peaceful and uneventful life with basically no updates. We’ll take no news as good news! Yay, Samara!

Did you know that our bodies are actually made up of musical instruments? No? Well lucky for you, Samara will lead us through some of the bones that make us note-worthy (any puns are fully intended). To start, Nikki gives us a brief introduction to this thrilling and insightful topic, thanks to the Skelecaster from last week’s episode. For the chorus and verse, Samara takes us through the Indian, and later Tibetan, Kangling/Chod Kangling flute and trumpet, an Ancient Texan Tribe’s bone rasp, a Tibetan double sided skull drum/damaru, and a Central African Lyre made of a human skull!

With the coda (outro), Nikki tells us about a bust made out of one man’s frozen blood, a memoir of a thief bound in his own skin, a man that decorated his home in human remains (no, it isn’t Ed Gein), and the Indonesian Tana Toraja Tribe and their sacred treatment of their dead. As a bonus, she also includes Etsy jewelry made from human teeth, “ethically sourced” that is sold out of Atlanta and Richmond, Virginia (Yeah, we’re also concerned about the quotes around their sourcing).

Game this week: Truth or Drink! We aren’t drinking for this game, but we can still have fun. We’re also pretty sure this game was written by men. Tune in to hear the 8 cards we ask each other. Do you agree?

Thank you all again for joining us for another episode! Please follow us on Spotify and give us a rating if you feel so inclined to do so. Each one is greatly appreciated.

We hope you enjoy the rim job clip at the beginning of the episode from when we were still figuring out how all this recording equipment worked, we sure did!

This week, we give you all a recap on the events of last week for Piper’s 21st birthday, it was a lot to be sure! Dinner for her birthday was at an authentic Italian restaurant where you cut the pizzas with scissors!

FYI: Butcher Block tables (for the kitchen) can range from $400.00 USD (£298.35 GPB) to $6,000 USD (£4,475.32 GPB) depending on size.

Nikki shares some exciting news about a big thing that happened to her last week with us, demonstrating just how following and rating our podcast can be a conduit for others to find us. Samara shares how she would love to travel to the south with her boyfriend so they can eat good food and meet each other’s BFFs. After that, she shares a funny story about a lil stunt she pulled on Nikki at the Ziggy Alberts concert.

We get into the ups and downs of what dating is like now compared to when we were single before (Nikki 15 yrs ago, Samara 5 yrs ago). Nikki shares how she was ghosted a few times by the same guy. (Yeah, she knows! She’s currently re-learning her worth.) Nikki goes on about how men rarely approach women in the wild anymore and she absolutely hates it, while Samara shares how she met her boyfriend in the wild, because he approached her… lucky woman!

Game Time: Put a Finger Down results:

Nikki: ½ finger

Samara: 2 ½ fingers

Leave a comment and tell us how many fingers you still had up at the end of the game.

Share your dating stories with us! They can be funny, weird, sexy, gross, whatever you want to share. Change the names of anyone you include in the story or just leave it out entirely. You will also remain anonymous unless you specifically tell us we can use your name.

Lastly, Samara wants to apologize for her book recommendation last month. She hadn’t finished the book before offering it up and she regrets that.

Samara surprises us with quite the performance during this week's intro. We talk about some other podcasts, a couple that Nikki recommends, Nikki's pebble voice, being attacked by the pollen in the air and Samara fighting for her life because of it. Nikki gives the 411 on her long lost and now found bestie down in Tennessee. We discover she doesn't sleep on planes (crazy) and Samara does (in any position possible).

Samara and Gavyn go mini-golfing and it goes as expected, great but with hiccups. We talk about changing the rules of golf into a drinking game. Then start in on our dumb, dumb… DUMB criminals! There are 16 in total, but don’t worry, it’s a fun rap sheet.

Here’s a drinking game for y’alls: Drink every time Samara says, “Bro!”, “Jesus Christ”, and “Oh my gawd.” Depending what you drink, you just might catch a buzz (bet).

It’s the end of the month, so of course we give you two book reccommondations.

Nikki’s rec of the month (a tandem series): “A Game of Fate”, and “Touch of Darkness” by: Scarlett St. Clair

Samara’s rec of the month: “The Chain-Gang All-Stars” by: Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah
