Booze And Glues

Life has been pulling at us from both sides and we aren’t sure if this is just a hiatus or just the last of this particular podcast, but don’t worry, we are still friends and no one is dying (at the moment.) We sip some frosé and ponder the number of liquor stores we have, Area 51, personal space issues, life hacks, how cute babies turn into smelly teenagers, gift exchanges at work, and Brad making questionable choices. Join us for one last drink! 

We are drinking “Skinny Orange Bitches“ (Orange Vanilla Coke Zero with whipped vodka-low cal and spray tan ready.) We talk landscaping projects, fashion cycles, woke men making attempts to understand the evolving menstrual game, drag queen makeup tutorials, cool dads drinking gin, live action Disney movies, American flag overalls, and using Home Alone warfare tactics in real life situations. At this point we’ve basically given up on making crafts during the recording, but Jes is working on the birch rounds backdrop for her faux mantel....join us!

Brad gets banned from Bevmo (and we're pretty certain it's not the first time he's been banned from an establishment.) We determine that the real "man- purses" are just the men we make carry all our stuff in their pockets. Plus, we face our mortality right alongside Tony Hawk and realize we are better off growing old in anonymity. 

This is not the Natty you remember from high school.  Summer brought the glory of strawberry lemonade beer that we were poised to hate but ended up loving. Plus we get into our love of Busy Phillips, body positivity, landscaping, and aggressive driving.

Tart red wine and grammatical correctness are a must and man buns need to go. Have you ever heard of trypophobia? Tab may be dead inside, but Jessye goes all the way to Amsterdam and eats chicken McNuggets-so who has the real problem? Plus we teach Brad how to "yes, and..."

We are drinking champagne and giving fashion advice for people who don’t want to make decisions. Plus: smashing the Patriarchy, being a friend to breast feeding women, skipping leg day, a tamale dealer, and all the cool new things that the “kids” are saying.  

Do you have resting scowl face? We do, and we’re fine with it. Jessye is back from her international Special Olympics trip and has lots of stories and pictures with camels; Tab is gearing up for an epic yard sale; plus: window treatments, she-sheds, Conan O’Brien, and choosing cards for your spouse. Drink up!   

We revive a nearly extinct language from Boonville, CA thanks to a new delicious sour we are trying. Also, can you put your cat on the Keto diet? Plus: fertility, friends, word searches, childhood birthday parties, cribbage boards, she-sheds, and more!

Producer Brad has done something unforgettable-if not unforgivable-but may have hit upon a new business idea. It’s time for Tab’s annual biscotti bake, and an episode all about relationships and love, in all different forms.

 Financial advice for pro sports athletes. Gearing up for the Special Olympics World Games. Tab is becoming a “dog lady.” Jes gets sucked in by Instagram ads. Teen starlets going bad. And more. 

When should kids get to cuss? How do we know if service animals are actually serving? Why are men trying to keep us under their thumb? Podcast confessionals, kangaroo babies at work, naked tutors, and the polar vortex. What else could we even fit into this episode? #boozeandglues #drink #craft #podcast

Well, we’ve officially confirmed that Brad really is an old man in a young-ish man’s body-based on his love of raisins, and the fact that he still writes checks to pay his bills. Plus: Tab’s secret oatmeal chocolate chip cookies, a year’s worth of birthday cards, sibling rivalry, women’s reproductive health, and refinishing a cribbage table.  

Is a cheese sommelier an actual job?  Because if it is we are ready to quit our real jobs right now. And by “we” we mean Tab. Plus: new seasonal frame art, Tidying Up, creepy teachers, wreath making, bread sizing, getting scammed on the internet, the umbrella revolution, hair styling, protein cookies, and a mini French lesson.

Narwhals are all the rage and we’re sipping hot cocoa with Baileys in honor of the frigid weather. Wittmeier Auto sucks, and we’ll leave it at that. Plus a mystery oil leak, getting help when you need it, Buddy the Elf themed decor, New Year’s Resolutions (or not), and birth control. We hit on it all. 

If you collect cat sized dogs does that still make you a cat lady? Whip up a hot toddy and join us as we create play props and talk; class reunions, flash floods, spirit animals, fish bait as gifts, home births, the definition of being super married, sensory deprivation tanks, RBF & more!

Handcrafted cards have a special touch, especially when you’ve spiked your hot cocoa-which we highly recommend you do! (It will help when you realize the cards you decided to make in a fever dream are a total disaster...) Things get deep when we discuss the horrific fire that has affected our community recently, but don’t fret because we get back around to lighter things, including a bizarre yard sale story & our unsolicited opinions on Jimmy Kimmel. Drink up! 

Are we professional foodies now? Close enough. Jes is making a wheel of local restaurants so she can decide where to eat on those nights where she just can’t cook. We give you the not-so-skinny on our favorite eats, and eating out dairy free.  Meanwhile, Tab is working on a red herring flag to wave at a live taping of My Favorite Murder (her favorite podcast.)  Plus: giant babies, punctuation, automatic cat food dispensers, the inevitable AI revolution, and gift giving... Listen up, you have craft to do!

This episode we put pumpkins into a bucket and call it crafting. Jessye reveals that she has never seen Poltergeist, much to Tab’s shock and dismay. We discuss feeling up produce, killing plants and bushes, Greg the girl cat, neighborhood drama, and how we must have inspired the skull candelabra “fad.” Drink up! You have minimally complicated crafts to do...

Introducing Wayne Houle! Our first ever special guest joins us in the podcast/craft room and he graciously brought us wine (that his mom bought in Montana) and a “craft”. Brad gets a podcast related birthday present, Jessye explains to us what we are allowed to call her-because she is technically not an Olympian, and for some reason we get heavy into Tab’s favorite (not favorite) topic-Geography. ...and if you haven’t put a puzzle together with 4 tipsy adults in the recent past you don’t know what you’re missing out on!

Are we turning into our mothers? Because we’re pretty sure Trader Joes sparkling wine in a can is just a wine cooler. Either way it’s delicious, and we make another holiday appropriate wreath for a mere $3! Plus: how to crash a frat party when you look like a dad, fashion from our childhoods making a return, RIP Burt Reynolds, mental health, Jessye’s weird dreams, how safe the world isn’t for women, and how Tab’s mom has more friends than all of us combined!
