Welcome to another episode!

This week we are getting to cover the topic: mystical! The drink this time around was red wine, and while at the store Skylar was tempted by a holiday themed bottle. So that's what we are drinking to celebrate the first episode in December!

Brittany didn't have a topic this week, her brain wouldn't let her focus, she's terribly sorry. So we just chit-chat for a bit in the beginning. If you'd like to move right along to Skylar's segment, you'll want to skip the first 20/25ish minutes.

Skylar talks about one of her favorite practicing tools: crystals! She goes over 10 of the best crystals for beginners and their properties/uses. Also, since she's Skylar, she sprinkles in actual science with her whimsy. So if you are a crystal girlie but also enjoy some good science facts, this is the one for you!

**Also, please don't replace medicine/therapy/common sense with crystals!

As always, thanks so much for listening! If you enjoy us enough to share or recommend us to a friend, we would love you that much more!

xCheers!

Welcome to another episode!

This week we are talking about history while drinking white wine! Well, Brittany is going to talk about history this week, Skylar might not have an actual segment this week, but that's okay because we are great at vamping. So the episode is more like a 'just chatting' with a little bit of history in the middle somewhere. We are both drinking a pinot grigio.

Brittany talks about the best, in her opinion, figure from WWll: Unsinkable Sam. If you aren't familiar with the legend, Unsinkable Sam is a cat, sometimes known as Oskar, who survived multiple ship sinkings during WWll. There's also some talk about animals during war time in general during her section, and this is really just a cute little tale about a cat.

All Thats Interesting

History Skills

Skylar promises to redeem herself next week! She does chit-chat some about the crazy shows she is currently watching. We talk about AP high-school classes, how neither of us used to sleep when we were younger, and more random things like that!

As always, thanks so much for listening! If you enjoy us enough to share or recommend us to a friend, we would love you that much more!

This week we are talking about a movie while drinking a pick of Brittany's choosing. She had some peach seltzer leftover from a family get-together, so that's what we're drinking this week. While sipping on these we discuss the movie: Begin Again.

Begin Again is a comedy drama that focuses on two going through a rough patch in their life, who happen to have a chance encounter and begin a promising collaboration.

The movie was written and directed by John Carney. It stars Keira Knightley and Mark Ruffalo. It was released in 2013 and received 5 award wins and 18 nominations. Including an Oscar nomination for 'Best Achievement in Music Written for Motion Pictures, Original Song' for the song "Lost Stars". This is a very 'chill' movie that is big on vibes, but very enjoyable to watch. Especially if you like movies that revolve around music and the creative process.

**Spoiler warning, if you have not seen this movie and would like it to not be ruined for you**

Welcome to another episode!

This week we are back on our couch classroom to hopefully teach you a few things. It's actually as if we are both back in our high school classrooms this week! So get your notebooks ready! We are going to be doing this while sipping on some white wine.

Brittany is going to discuss some facts, knowledge, legends, etc. about France. France is obviously a very historical, important, and timely country so Brittany's section is a very, very light dive into some cultural aspects. There's some art talk, religion talk, and the always important discussion of if 'french fries' are actually french. There's also a little talk about a few travel destinations. (We're also not going to talk about how she said 'philosophers' in this episode...it's already haunting her nightmares.)

Skylar is going to touch very lightly on some important but basic french sayings, terms, and pronunciation. Skylar's section is a little shorter than what she normally tries to do in these episodes, but French is a language she learned so long ago and is so familiar with that it was hard to determine what to start with. So just keep that in mind, but we may always dive deeper in the future!

Skylar would like to remind everyone that she is by no means an expert or an official teacher. She is simply someone who loves to learn, loves to share her passions, and loves languages. As we are both just trying this episode to teach ourselves more about the world, and hopefully you as well, we are completely open and willing to learning more on the subject, or if there are any corrections anyone might have to share with us.

As always, thanks so much for listening! If you enjoy us enough to share or recommend us to a friend, we would love you that much more!

xCheers!

Welcome back to another episode!

This week, in the perfect way to end spooky season, we get to talk about Paranormal! A topic we haven't spun since the premier of this season. It was Brittany's turn to pick drinks this week and she went with Bloody Mary's.

At one point before Brittany's section Skylar mentioned this tiktoker:

Brittany talks about a couple of popular theorized "Gates to Hell". Hell gates are said to be all over the world and each one has many stories and lore surrounding it. She talks about one in Louisiana and the Czech Republic.

In her section, Skylar talks about the haunting of the Lake Club ghost! This is the ghost of Rudy Cranor who was a bartender at the club. He seems like a perfectly lovely ghost who was maybe just a little prank-y and then a man came and ruined it all.

As always, thanks for listening!

Welcome to another episode!

This week the drink was Skylar's choice and the topic was true crime! This week Skylar decided to go with a vanilla bourbon with diet coke. It was mostly bourbon, but it was good!

This episode might be weird for everyone, and it might even be disappointing for some, but in this episode we explain why we are getting rid of the 'True Crime' category on our wheel.

The short of it is, this is our podcast and we've always wanted it to mainly be just fun for us. As popular as 'true crime' is for a lot of listeners to different podcasts it was not a fun category for us. We got really bummed out each time the category was spun, and we have decided that's not something we want to do anymore for our own personal enjoyment and for the fact that we struggle with the morality of even covering it as a topic in the first place.

Our replacement idea was maybe we cover 'fake crime' so for example, crimes that happen in tv shows and movies, or in books. That way, they do not affect any real life people and it could still be fun and probably crazy because we each consume vastly different genres of media.

We unfortunately didn't really come into this episode prepared, so you get our reasonings for why we are saying goodbye to true crime and then it just becomes a bit like a 'just chatting' episode. However, we do both talk about two different things that involve crimes so there's that. Brittany talks about the crazy book she just finished and Skylar goes into a tangent about the current show she is watching that drives her up the wall.

As always, thanks so much for listening! If you enjoy us enough to share or recommend us to a friend, we would love you that much more!
