• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Hey, this is Sanny and Samantha. I don't have to
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: Stephane never told you a protection of I heart radio
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: and welcome to another happy hour, and we are changing
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: it up a little bit. I feel like this is
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: us celebrating the ridiculous ninety degrees in Atlanta, which actually
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: feels like a hundred and something in Atlanta because of
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: you know, humidity, and also I made my closet with
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: like a ring light. It is so hot, so hot.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah I am not and I'm still sweating from my boobies.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: So I don't know if that tells you anything other
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: than it's hot around here. It is, Oh it is.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: I know. One of my back when I used to tweet.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: One of the tweets that I ever tweeted that got
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: the most was the most likes, was I used to
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: put underwear in my freezer. You put him on for running.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: It was great, but also just sitting in his closet
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: And one time I forgot to take the underwear out
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: and had company over and they opened the freezers. Amazing.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: Who wasn't I need to know who it is. You
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: can tell me, you can help me off my because
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: I just like imagining who it was it was my
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: friend Redheaded Katie who's been on the show. Okay, so
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: her reaction wasn't I was honestly thinking like Ramsey or Dylan. Yes,
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: oh I wish and the reaction even user old producer Andrew.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: But I know he doesn't come over like that. But
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: you know in my head or Lyle from Ads, Oh
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: my god, I've been phenomenal anyway, but I know that
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: Redheaded Katie, whom we love, probably enjoyed every moment of it. Yes, yes,
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: it's still a kind of a strange thing to explain
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: to somebody. Absolutely, even to me, I'd have been like why,
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: like I would have that would have been my immediate reaction.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: But yes, it is hot here. So we decided we
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: would take a take. Yeah I said it, and do
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: Sminty makes a cocktail, yes, summer addition, summer edition? Is
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: it summer? Yeah? Yeah, Well it feels like it's always
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: close to go with me on this one. Yeah, and
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: we have been trying to get a Spinty, an official
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: Spinty cocktail for a long time. So again, listeners, if
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: you have any ideas on that, yeah, we would love
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: to hear them, because this is what sort of as
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: being like I tried to figure out what Samantha might like,
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: and I feel like you tried to figure out what
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: I might like, which is I'm glad. Yeah, I think
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: it worked out, but I would love to get kind
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: of a group effort cocktail. I feel like we need
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: to make it a small book, a cocktail book. Yes,
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: sminty cocktail book. I see things in the few, sure
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: of things happening here now, just me, Okay, I see
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: new things in the horizon for us. And yeah, so
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: I'm going to take a stab at a cocktail. And
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: it is based on a different cocktail that I saw.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: I think it's called the Basil uh Lime Cooler. But
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: I made a few plays I did take from their recipe. Um,
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: if y'all want to let me know on how to
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: do basil syrup syrup syrup, how do you say it?
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: I like how I because I'm always hunging up I
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: say basil, but I feel like people make fun of me. Sorry,
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: I like how you got hung up on syrup. Yeah,
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: basil basil, kids say either syrups. Anyway, you'll let me know.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: But yeah, so we did our own rendition of basil
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: simple syrup, and I took to that and added, um,
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: some lime juice as it calls for some in because
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: apparently the cooler had vodka. And as much as I
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: like vodka, I love jin more. And to meet jen
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: and basil gin and herbs in itself just hits. It
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: hits for me. Um. So I took that the gin,
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: and then I also took I decided, because strawberries are
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: in season right now, that I wanted to take a
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: strawberry muddle it up. I took half a one so
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: we wouldn't overwhelm and muddle it up, and then added
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: some salts or water. And for mine, which is in
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: a cocktail glass, and you see this, it has a
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: basil flower because we have basil plants and some of
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: them have sprouted into flowers, which is apparently not great,
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: but it's okay. But it's pretty and it smells nice.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: And I added as my garnish, and it's very pink.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: For mine is it is very, very pretty. So the
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: original impetus for this idea was quite funny because Samantha
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: presented it to me as why don't you make a cocktail?
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: And I was like, it's your cocktail? Houred trying to
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: give me more work, um that we exchange. We exchanged
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: dress the fees, so you'll you'll get mine later. But
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: it was very It was very funny to me because
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: I was like, here my pen ideas for a title.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: You haven't told me what you have named this drink.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: So I thought, if you added more of the red,
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: but you didn't add any strawberries, because that's optional. I
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: wanted to. I love fruit, uh, and seasonal fruit modeled
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: into things. That's kind of my jam obviously. Um, So
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: I was thinking that it was gonna be redder than
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: what it is. I was like, oh, let's be dark
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: and call it the Blood of my Enemies. But I'm like,
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: it's actually really pretty pink and it has a flower
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: in it. Now, Like I definitely have a flower in this,
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: So I'm like, okay, I'm gonna have to change this somehow.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: So I don't know now. I think one of the
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: original ideas is that we were going to title each
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: other's drink after tasting it. Oh well, I don't remember that.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: I feel like trying to pull up faster. No I did,
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: because I was like, oh no, I'm not gonna be
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: able to name any's but you named them before I
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: could get to it, I was like, okay, also that
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: it was the original idea that we would name each
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: other based on, you know, what we made. But you are,
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: of course, ten steps ahead of me. You would never
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: allow me to try to pun your drinks. I know,
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: but I'm trying to figure it out because I'm like, well,
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: do I want to name it something pretty like sunsets
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: in the Decatur Skies because I am indicator now and
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: I did see this, or sunset at the end of
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: the world because it feels like the end of the world,
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: or sunset on a hot night. I don't know, Okay, okay,
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: I mean, or it could be Sam's peace of mind cheers.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: I like that. I like that cheers. I it's very nice.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: It's very refreshed. Another funny kind of differentiation between Samantha
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: and I came clear during this because I gave her
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: three recipes to consider, and one of them had a
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: jalapino simple syrup idea. But I was like, I'll never
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: make the simple syrup, but you sent yours. You must
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: make the simple syrup. Yes, yeah, which I did and
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: it was so easy. Um, but I did not. I
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: did not muddle nor shake it together. I just gave
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: it a vigorous swirl with my straw, and I have
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: no fruit, but it's very lovely. Nonetheless, yours a straight
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: line and basil, so it is a different taste. So
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: based on what you made, what would you name it?
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: It would be something either related to YEA have been
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: four or indoor. How about we try not to do
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: a Star Wars one one. If it's very important to you,
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: I can come up with something on Star Wars related,
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: but it will be tough. It will be very hard
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: for me. You can, I would say, yes, probably indoors
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: since it is the foresty mm hmmm, level mm hmm.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: But the problem is when we get to mine, you'll
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: see there's already conflicting name with one of mine. So yes,
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: I have to way that sound. I do have a
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: question when it comes to summertime and refreshments. Is there
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: a memory that you have or something that you always
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: go to as a favorite moment in knowing that the
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: season has arrived, or this is the moment of a
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: faxation or vacationing. I'm glad you asked that because I
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: actually I've been thinking about it lately. When I was
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: a kid, um I was very very fortunate because my
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: grandparents have a beach house that we could go to
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: during the summer and I used to always we were
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: allowed to. Me and my two brothers were allowed to
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: pick one pint of ice cream each and for some reason,
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: even though it wasn't my favorite ice cream or anything, uh,
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: I would always get Rocky Road and I had the
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: strongest craving fort lately. I think it's because I think
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: it means I'm stressed and I'm like reaching out to
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: some It was a point of comfort for me and
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: I as a kid. And I also those like um
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: ice pops that were in the plastic and I didn't
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: even like those either, Like I think it was just
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: that they were cold and I didn't get them any
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: other time. So that was it when I was a kid,
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: and somemores. Um. Some wores for sure out when I
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: my mom and I used to for like three years
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: that commuted three hours a day to work and I
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: lived with my parents, UM, and my mom and I
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: when I would get home, i'd get home around four
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: pm and we would walk six miles every day three years.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: Um yeah, uh, and we would always during the summer.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: It was so hot. We would make these at We
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: would freeze chunks of watermelon and just blend that and
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: drink that straight and then have b l T s
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: with fresh tomatoes. And it was amazing. That's amazing. My
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: mouth just started immediately watering. And fresh tomatoes. Wow. Yeah.
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: So I've been craving that too, and it's kind of
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: I don't know that that's necessarily really a summer food,
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: but I crave it during the summer. I'm just all
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: of a sudden, like I have to have BLT some watermelon. Yeah. No,
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: tomatoes are definitely a seasonal thing, and summer is it.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: I love fresh tomatoes. I am that one who used
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: to eat it like apples with a little their salt
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: in the story to the point that it was too
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: much acid. But yeah, I love that memory because obviously
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: in the South, tomatoes are very important, and we talked
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: about tomato sandwiches in general, like I would eat white
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: bread with tomatoes point blank. Um. And I know a
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: bitter Southerner like that's one of their T shirts. I
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: never believe no Mayo because I hate it with a passion,
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: with a passion, But yeah, I think those that's very
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: summary and the push pops that you were talking about. Yeah,
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: I definitely have the memories. They were cheap, they were easy,
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: and they were a treat for all of us. And
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: even though it had sugar, it wasn't like tons of sugar,
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: so it felt nice and I could tell when I
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: was a nanny this was a smart idea to get
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: the kids to cool down, stay outside and then enjoy
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: something that's a little different inaccessible. So it was really nice.
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: Um for me. Growing up, I did not have a
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: beach house. However, my uncle at the time was the
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: manager of the local city pool, so I could go
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: every day I'm like, and I could go by myself
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: because I knew all the lifeguards at that point. Um,
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: and I would just spend all day there going through
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: all my energy. They would give me like five dollars
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: for snacks. Of course, you know, the snacks are like chips,
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: little bags of chips for descents or whatever. And I
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: would always get barbecue chips. And as an adult after swimming,
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: and when I say swimming, it was definitely not the
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: same level of kids where they die, eve and jump
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: and all of that. I just now sit in it.
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: I also crave barbecue chips and that is associated to
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: summer for me, and I will actually crave it, like
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: not even trying to figure out why. And I've hurt
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: a few people tell me they do the same thing.
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: So I don't know if that's a chemical thing, any
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: savor thing is this? Is this a chemical way? I
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: don't know, but that needing that salt to replenish maybe
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: I don't know, but always that it's either a mountain
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: dew or a sprite like that is the drink of
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: the summer for scrolling up. And my parents are tetolers,
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: so we definitely did not have alcohol or anything. Uh.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: Getting older, you know and trying to figure out what
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: I want, I still crave those uh barbecue chips, like
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: I want that cheap Lays barbecue chips today while I'm swimming. Um.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: But yeah, I find that interesting that we have those
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: core memories as children. And again we've talked about this
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: a lot, and I've talked about wanting to do shows
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: based on my experience as a kid, uh and being
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: triggered and traumatized sometimes by food. But that is that
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: memory of like having that moment of this is associated
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: with this of course seasonal fruits. That makes sense like that,
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: that's logistical ice versa, it's hot, all of that makes
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: a lot more sense. But I find that very comforting
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: that that is almost just universal for everyone. Yeah. Yeah,
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: And I think, especially as a kid, I would love
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: to hear from other people because, like, weatherwise, the summer
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: is not my favorite, but when I was a kid,
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: it was my favorite because it meant I didn't have
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: school and exactly, and it did have a lot of
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: those sort of it felt like special foods that you
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: just got during the summer um and when like again,
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: if you're lucky enough to go to a pool or
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: go to a beach or whatever, and you get so
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: tired and you'd be in the heat, you'd wear yourself out,
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: and then you have a hamburger and it's the best
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: thing you've ever had, even though it's just a hamburger
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: that you've had throughout the year, but it tastes so good.
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: There's a whole different thing. Yeah, let us know what
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: your favorite summer cocktail is, how you celebrate what we
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: should try any of the non alcoholic beverages and craft beverages.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: We would love to hear from you, your childhood memories,
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: we bask in your stories do just like we bask
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: in the sun of the summer, are high from it
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: because it's so hot. Yes, so we would love to
