Episode 38:  Who said we don’t make good on our promises? Today, we picked our first guest from the first 25 reviews on iTunes, and as luck would have it, we pulled a self-proclaimed “Super-Fan,” Alie Farren. Alie share a bit about herself and her love of Bon Jovi in true Two Drinks In fashion…after two drinks in. D. Marie then starts the night by picking from a few topics of Alie’s choosing. Then, we ask Alie to draw from the hat and lead a conversation about “blue laws." The night concludes with Erin discussing the latest “pop” research on breakfast food and millennials. 

As always, our conversation quickly goes off-topic as we test out a variety of “as seen on tv” products while talking and drinking in Minneapolis, MN.
