• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Hey, this is Annie and Samantha, and welcome to Stephane
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: Never Told your production of iHeart Radio, and welcome to
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: another edition of Happy Hour. And we're gonna make this
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: a Fall special edition. I feel like we can go
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: ahead and put that out there. And because we love
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: fall and all the good things about Fall, We've brought
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: on one of our favorites to sit and talk with
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: us and share her recipes because she is quite a
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: genius when it comes to these beverages. Holy froll. Really,
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: it's just because I have Fall rabies. That's why I'm
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: here Fall Brabies for Fall, and I love it, which
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: is fantastic because you do a whole season of things
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: and I feel like every time I see you on
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: social media, it's a whole like countdown of the goodness
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: of Fall and Halloween and spooky seasons, all the good things.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: And yes, first and foremost to our listeners, we are
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: not sponsored. That is always a thing we'd like to say.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: We love to have a good drink. But any of
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: the products that we're talking about, we'll let you know
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: if someone has sent us something, but typically these are
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: not sponsored by the drink industry. We are sponsored, just
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: not by this, drink responsibly whatever you do, and I'm
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: sure we can get you a variation. This is a
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: pretty easy recipe, Holly, I feel like you do this.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: Oh I'm ready. I'm I'm ready with the mock tail version.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: You're so good with that. So and this is such
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: a good twist. But yes, can you let our listeners
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: know what you sent us for this delightful episode? Yeah,
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: this is a cocktail called The Hanged Lady and it
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: came out of a Criminalia episode where we talked about
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: Rachel Wall, who was possibly the first American born woman pirate.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: She was also the last woman to be hanged in Boston,
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: although for highway robbery not for piracy, which is a
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: very complicated story. You could check out her episode if
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: you want to know, but it's a little theft problem
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: that she had. We actually did a small thing about
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: her because we did a whole episode on women pirates
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: because we wanted to know because we just got into it.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: And so yeah, I'm sure, because we had listeners saying
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: thank you for talking about this because it's fascinating and
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: I love that you have a bigger version. I need
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: to listen to this because you're fascinating. Our whole season.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: This this right now is about pirates, and we try
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: to have as many lady pirates in the mix as
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: we possibly can. It's pretty fun. So this one, I
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: wanted to pay homage to the fact that she was
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: from New England and get some cider action in there.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: And also she died in October, so it seemed like
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: a good thing to get some pumpkin in the mix,
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: which is my favorite everything all the time. One of
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: us on this recording has a subscription for pumpkin syrup,
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: so I'm never out. I just get a case of
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: it delivered like every quarter. I love that. Yeah, and
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: the other two of us were procrastinators trying to figure
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: out how to do this. If you called me, I
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: would have just driven some to you, like a pumpkin
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: sign in the sky, right, it's like the bat signal,
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: but it's just like a jack O lantern and I
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: know that someone needs pumpkin something and I'll just show up.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: But no, So this drink is one that's so far
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: I think my favorite we've done this season because it
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: is super delicious. So it's just an ounce or less
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: half an ounce to an ounce of pumpkin syrup, ideally
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: in a chilled glass, and then you're gonna pour about
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: three ounces of hard cider over that, and then top
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: that with another three to four ounces of champagne or
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: any sparkling wine. I don't know why it's I mean,
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: all of those are yummy, but like, I'm not a
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: hard cider drinker at all, and yet magically this becomes
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: a religious experience for pumping people. It is. It's very nice.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: It's autumnal, but it's bright. It's not like a heavy
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: autom drink super dubri ms. If anybody wants to do
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: the mocktail version, it's the easiest on earth. You just
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: do the same thing pumpkin syrup in lieu of hard cider.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: You just do like a low sugar or sugar free
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: apple juice, and then top that BIS up with some
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: jis areal and you're all set to go. And do
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: they have a sparkling apple cider that's non alcoholic as well?
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: They do? That also works, any of it, any of it,
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: just as long as there's some bubbles in the mix. Yes,
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: I've gotten very into champagne cocktails. As you both know,
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: I didn't used to drink them and now they're one
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: of my favorites. Yeah, yeah, I love champagne. I have
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: to be careful because it makes me super sleepy, so
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: I'm like, huh, this is really unfortunate that this is
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: oftentimes like the choice of earlier day drinking stuff, because
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: I'm like, that makes me want to go take a
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: nap right post brunch. You need like a two pm
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: to six pm block out, made a lot of water
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: in between. But I love it, I really do. I
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: think it's one of my favorite ones as well. And
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: this is so good. You're right. It feels like autumn,
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: but at the same time, because it's sparkling and light,
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: it also feels effervescent to as if it's a Georgia
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: autumn in which you never know what the weather is
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: going to be, whether it is sixty or ninety degrees
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: in October. That's what I like to call a seasonal
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: transition drink. Not bad. First summer, you won't be like
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: this is an autumn drink, but in autumn you don't
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: feel like, oh, this is two summery. It's a transition. Yeah.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: And because as we were talking about earlier, we were
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: in search of pumpkin spice, and as inundated as we
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: have been with pumpkin spice, it was still kind of
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: hard for any night of fine. Fairly last minute, we
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: were trying to figure out how to do this, and
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: I just gave in and made my own. And that
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: was a whole little out of you. Thank you. I
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: was like, you know what, I did it, And now
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: now I'm like, I have away gonna have to use this.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: Here we go everything pumpkin spice. Enjoy pumpkin syrup in
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: all the things it's creating coffee. I mean, I'll give
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: you a little bonus, which is actually a preview of
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: something that I'm doing for Criminalia is going to do
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: a live stream Halloween live stream on the twenty eight.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: We don't have the time locked down yet, but keep
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: your eyes peeled and I'm just saying, if you use
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: your pumpkin syrup to make a beautiful coffee like a latte,
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: and then you put an ounce and a half of
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: Konjak in it, I think you're gonna be very happy.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: We've already talked about the fact that Annie's drink that
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: she does or that I do for her, which is
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: that cinnamon roll. I think we told you about, which
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: is pretty much like the chocolate mocha with cinnamon and
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: all of the good alcohols in it. That we will
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: just take out the mocha and I would put pump
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: the spice and that's the Fall edition cinnamon roll perfect. Luke.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: You know, we've got some ideas, so we're trying to
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: get there. But you know, we had to have you
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: on this show, especially this season, as we all love
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: the spooky season. But honestly, I don't know if I've
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: ever met two people in my life who loves it
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: or celebrates it more than you and Annie, and I
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: feel like not talking about your love and passion would
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: be just a pierson for the season. I'm just being real, honest,
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: So I need to know what is it, both Annie
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: and Holly about Fall and specifically October and the spooky
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: season that you love and what is it is? It's
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: like something from the past. Does it bring you somewhere? Like?
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: Is it? Because you're so like imaginative, so therefore you
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: can just really go all all in? What is it? Anna?
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: You go first? Oh? No, are we can tag team
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: however you want to do it? Yeah? Yeah, that's I mean,
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: it's a really good question, because it's one of those
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: things where it's hard to pinpoint when this happened for me,
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: But I just know, like, for some reason, I have
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: always really enjoyed costumes and dressing up. I've always really
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: really enjoyed I love like the Jack Lanard aspect. I
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: love the changing of the leaves, I love the changing
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: of the weather. I like, even as a kid, I
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: liked scary things. I liked spooky things. I think I've
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: told the story before of how I like would constantly
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: try to buy horror movies behind my parents backs, and
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: I think I just really enjoy that. Like it feels
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: very fast tive to me, but in a way that
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: kind of felt transgressive in a strange way as a
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: child of like, Oh, we're talking about these things that
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: we're not supposed to talk about and we're supposed to
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: be so afraid of, but we're doing it in a
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: fun way that still is kind of scary, but I
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: still really like. And it's just from there it's just
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: become something that I really enjoy of the I love
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: the flavors, I love the colors, I love the dressing up,
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: I love the horror, and I love being around people
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: who also love that, and I think it's a great
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: stress reliever for me. That's also just really fun and
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: it is a way to kind of if you have
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: a lot of in my case, I won't speak for everybody,
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: but if you have like a lot of anxiety in
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: the back of your brain of of all these things
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: that are just constantly like looming of you know, death
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: and the potential afterlife and all these things that could
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: be scary, and like engaging with them in a fun way,
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: this is a really big stress reliever for me. Actually,
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: So what about you all? I mean, I I like you.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: I always loved Costumer and that whole bananas thing I
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: realized pretty early on as a kid, and it got
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: even more so as an adult. There's this beautiful aspect
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: to Halloween where it is all of the fun and
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: joy of any other holiday, but none of the responsibilities. Right,
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: you don't have to see family if you don't want
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: to on Halloween, and nobody there's no issue about it.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: Nobody is posting like if you can't be with your
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: family on Halloween or you don't feel comfortable like all,
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: but your nobody's doing that. It's just Halloween. You just
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: eat all the candy go bananas, it's super fun. Same
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: thing like, you don't have to buy anybody gifts. You
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: can if you want. Everybody should get a gold skeleton.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: But but it just has like this ease about it
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: that other holidays do not, So you can get all
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: of the festivity and none of the like obligation that
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: can get very weighty in a hurry. The other thing
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: is like, I legitimately love pumpkin everything. I know people
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: like to say that's a very basic thing to be.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: I am literally that person who, since I was a
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: child would just open up a can of pure ad
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: pumpkin and eat it with a spoon, like I love
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: it that much. So can you tell the difference what
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: it is the sweet potato? Because I know sometimes they
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: put yams and they try to pawn it off as
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: pumpkin um. I mean probably the real The real giveaway
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: to me is usually mouth feel, not taste, because pumpkin
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: just tends to have a little bit more of a fibrous,
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: sometimes even grainier texture, whereas if you pure a sweet
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: potato enough, like it gets quite smooth. And that's usually
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: where I'm like, oh this is more but honestly sweet
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: potato is also delicious, so this is not a problem
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: for me. It's good. Like if you've ever had someone
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: actually roast a pumpkin and do a pumpkin pie from scratch,
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: often you're like, this is not like the pumpkin pie.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: I know, because it does have a graininess, a little
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: more fibrousness in the mix. Still delicious, but yeah, I
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: mean I'm not kidding when I say, like I'm pumping
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: everything all year around. Who waits for September? Not? Maybe?
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: As you both know, my house is always ready for Halloween.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: And I do like that they are starting to do
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: the season earlier earlier because they've realized I love it
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: and it's not going away. Yes, I will say I'm
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: like season agnostic. I don't get angry when any season
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: shows up early right, like, I don't care. And I
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: think part of that is because I grew up in
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: a um, you know, a crafty family, so I always
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: grew up going to La fabric and craft stores. And
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: now Halloween and and Christmas stuff is out like in May.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: I mean, they're just because people have to have time
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: to do the lead up. So it's never been like
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: I have to have Halloween to itself until or you
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: know whatever, let's summer finished, all holidays, all the time.
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: Whatever makes you happy. So yeah, I'm one of those
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: who are like, why are they playing Christmas songs and
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: Thanksgiving hasn't happened. I will, I will punch somebody. That's
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: a whole different feeling though of like my own issues
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: with Christmas and drama. So that's a whole is really
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: going to be. It's going to take off this year
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: and then he'll blease. Lamba joined me. I have friends
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: who believe the same thing. But as you were talking
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: about being crafty, what is something that you have crafted
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: but you and Annie maybe through the season that's one
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: of your favorites, like through the past, whether it's a costume,
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: whether it's a decoration or even a drink or food.
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: What is something that is fall season that you have
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: done that is something that still lingers in your memory
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: as one of your favorite moments. Well that's hard, yeah,
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: I know, I mean I literally I'll just out myself.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: I was an hour late to this because I got
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: the time wrong. And I will tell you that that
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: time that I spent was making an outfit for Halloween
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: things in Disney World. Fully support this. There's always like
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: there's always something going on crafty or you know, oh
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: we know, yeah, you're like, I've seen your messy sewing room. Later,
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: besides that, you've made things for everyone around me and myself.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: But like, my partner will not take off the shirt
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: that you made him. That makes me so happy. He
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: is so excited about it. And then I'm like, you
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: can't keep asking hard to do shirts for you. He
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: absolutely can. I love him. I'll make him a shirt
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: a month if he wants. That's fine. Don't him like,
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: don't let him ever hear this audience to like to
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: hide this, so any what about you? Three things come
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: to mind the first time when I was eight and
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: I made you can see it but the listeners can't.
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: But this is a Jedi robe um that I made
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: for my character. I created Terri Polaris, and everyone would
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: be like, oh are you obi one canope? And I
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: was like, I'm Terra Pilarious. Everything about the same everything was.
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: I felt so good about it because I created this
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: whole thing in the outfit and I still like have it.
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: And then food wise, I've made these like pumpkin pie
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: pasts that were like dumplings but with punkin pie in
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: the middle, and they were so good. They were so good,
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: and that's just been like, they're kind of difficult to make.
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: They're not super difficult, but they are an undertaking, so
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: I don't make them that often. But I just think
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: back fondly of the time I made it and I
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: bit into it for the first time and I was like,
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: oh my god, oh my god, I need those so
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: that we can dip them in my homemade pumpkin spice syrup.
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: Just more more pumpkin. All the time, I was just
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: gonna make this whole thing, and then my I trying
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: to find I still have it in here somewhere. But
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: the time I made my black Swan outfit, which I
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: just told Samantha about, which is one of my first
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: like big costuming ventures as an adult, and it turned
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: out really well and I really liked it. And so
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: even though I like, I probably will never wear it again,
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: maybe I will, but I can't throw it away because
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: I was like so good. Wait people throw away costumes.
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: I I don't, But I feel like there's a times
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: where I'm like, I'm never gonna wear this again, probably,
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: but I'm going to keep it now. I will say this,
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: we have a costume overload situation at this point. It started,
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: what year do we do that? There was a year
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: for All Children where we did for taken con some
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: very large scale like mascot style nightmare before Christmas costumes
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: and we won the Masquerade ding. But we still have them.
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: They are now in our attic and I'm a little
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: scared that, like wasps lived there. I'm not sure what's happening,
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: but I will never have the heart to get rid
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: of the mayor. The mayor like and Brian actually has
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: trotted his buggy Boggie out a lot because we did
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: like a big foamy oggie boogie that like looks like
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: iggy Boggie. Sometimes you see a little oggy Boggie And
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: I'm not listen, I'm not gonna dog anybody, but I'm
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: just saying a lot of ugg boogie costumes look a
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: little flaccid. They just don't have the oops. They don't
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: look like they're full of bugs, which they should. That's
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying. I feel like though you and Annie
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: both have this level of costuming that is in that
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: cause play world where is legitimately like as where I
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: do costumes. I'm like, hey, let me take this old
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: T shirt, rip it up, put it in the mud.
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: I'm a zombie, you know, stuff like that. And I
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: just put like makeup on my face. But that's not
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: something that I would hold onto as like I've created
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: this amazing cost you. Yeah, that's a valid point, you
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: know what I mean. So it's a little different, Like
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: you have the cherry. I'm very scared of your cherry,
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: but great like prop costume that I'm like, yeah, you
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: should never get rid of it. I don't want to
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: be on it. I don't want to be near it,
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: but there it is. It's amazing. I feel like we
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: maybe like context that I made Cherry the chair from
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: Peewee's Playhouse and it's a puppet. I can stand in
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: it and puppeteia like in the back is hollow, but
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: it is also a piece of furniture in our house
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: because I made it so that people could sit on it,
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: which I think both of you have and you know
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: it's amazing. Samantha with fear in her eyes, but yeah,
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: I'll be I think we've told the listeners. I have
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: a really weird fear of life size objects coming to life,
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: and it's big, and it has a mouth, it has eyes,
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: and sure it's a sweet thing on peewee playhouse. I
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: know it is, but in my mind like it's gonna
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: come to life and kill me somehow, eat me, devour me,
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: and I will be one with the chair. Is it
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: irrationally as it is soft as butter? But is it
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: realistic looking? Absolutely? So those two things both at me.
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: It's amazing. But all the Jerry will never hurt you
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: at my house, I promise you. We'll see, we'll see.
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: I promise you. Cherry will never hurt you. And you
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: will always have a drink when you sit in it.
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: Always make you a beautiful cocktail. It issue and you
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: have you make some amazing cocktails. All these things. So
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: let me ask you, because we're probably gonna come wrapping
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: it up and I love it, what are your plans
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: because it's still a little different even though we are
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: no longer full on quarantine. You know, COVID is not
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: going anywhere. I think people are a little are excited,
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: but not as excited as if it was actually you know,
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: kind of to the wayside, because everybody got vaccinated and
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: we were responsible, which didn't happen unfortunately. But what are
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: your plans this year for Halloween? Bump bump, um? Do
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: you have plans? Annie? Um? My plan their bit up
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: in the air, right. I was originally intending to just
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: watch horror movies, carve a pumpkin, drink all the fall
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: drinks that I love. I like, like reading a scary
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: story at night, and just freaking myself out. Um. And
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: then I think I've said before, I have worn a
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: lot of costumes during this quarantine, even though it's just me.
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: So I was gonna, like, you know, try some costumes
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: on see see how that feels. Um. I maybe do
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: a lightsaber battle with myself. I don't know, It'll be
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: fun whatever it is. I do have some friends who
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: are like, maybe we could all hang out and you know,
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: play scary games and watch scary movies and drink these
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: fall drinks together. So I have faith it will be
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: I like, Callowea, It'll be whatever happens, I will enjoy it.
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: But okay, did either of you have you watched the
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: Muppetana Mansion special yet. I'm not really giving away a spoiler,
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: but one of the things that Curbent mentions is that
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: they're doing Halloween breakfast where they're making pumpkin pancakes, and
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: I'm like, we're doing that because Halloween falls on a
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: Sunday this year, So if you guys want to come over,
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: I will brunch you. We'll do pumpkin pancakes or pumpkin waffles.
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: I love a pumpkin waffle and I am ready at
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: all times to make a pumpkin waffle. I have all
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: the ingredients always on standby, So I'm going to start
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: the day like that. I don't know if we'll do
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: much dressing up. We do usually events leading up to Halloween,
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: and then Halloween we tend to lay low a little
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: bit because it's one of those things like if you
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: go out on Halloween, there are a lot of people
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: that go out and do not know how to drink
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: responsibly and like it just it always feels a little
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: dicey if you're out at like and especially now when
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: everyone should be careful and have their wits about them
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: and you know, wearing your mask and we all know
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: mask us falls as alcohol consumption goes up. That is
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: not super appealing as a fun time. We're going to
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: to Disney and gonna do some Halloween parties there, which
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: I did get to do already with any race. I
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: did one and I'll do another in a little bit.
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: It's so fun. And but on the day itself, yeah,
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: I'll get up, We'll make waffles for all of us, apparently,
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: and um then I just I usually cook all day
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: and make it like a feast day, and I may
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: usually I end it. I have this weird tradition where
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: I end Halloween and all black. This sounds very silly,
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: but it's honestly. There was a witch costume that my
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: mom made me when I think I was seven, and
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: it was like basic. I mean, my mom was an
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: exquisite seamstress, but this was not the evidence. It was
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: like a very basic, like unstructured robe style pull over
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: thing with jagged cut hems and a little cute hat
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: that she did a really lovely job on. And like
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: there was some epiphany situation that took place in there
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: where I was like, I want to wear this for
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: the rest of my life. And I did wear it
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: for like three Halloweens in a row, until I had
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: grown enough that it was like a little mini dress,
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: and I just realized, like, there there's this magic of
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: Halloween about deciding who you are and how you represent
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: yourself to the world, and that's part of the appeal
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: as well, kind of looping back to your earlier question.
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: And so I always like to like finish Halloween in
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: like a very basic black usually kind of like witchy, simple,
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: slightly ghouless chic kind of situate. So that's how we'll
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: wrap the day. I love this. Uh yeah, I will
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: be there and I will be my own personal waffle
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: iron that I received from you. That's right, you got
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: for me. It's a skull and I have waffle mixed
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: ready to go as a pumpkin spice. So well, I
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: was so excited. But yeah, I feel like we can
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: have pumpkin waffle pot luck and it could be amazing.
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: We can make like three pounds of bacon and a
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: bunch of waffles and sausages and also cocktails and maybe
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: I'll scramble some eggs. We'll put some tumeric in the
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: eggs to make them golden and beautiful. Yeah, I'm so
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: excited to see you. Not too early, so a lot
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: of may still be too early, Let's be honest. I'm
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: fine with a two pm brunch, but thank you so much.
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: And can you please. I know our listeners probably already know,
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: but let them know where they can find you so
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: they can follow your amazing crafting. Slash all of the
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: good recipes, slash all the good stories, Holly. So, I'm
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: on Twitter as Surliest Girl and I sometimes just pop
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: out cocktail wricipes there that have nothing to do with
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: any work event um, and on Instagram is surly Gurly five,
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: and then Criminalia usually gets posted as hashtag Criminalia. We
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: have not been posting all of the cocktails lately, but
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: there's always one at the end of every single episode.
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: And we did an impostor season where we did all
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: mock tails and we had such a good response that
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: now every cocktail comes with the mocktail version because there
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: are lots of people who want to get into the
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: festivity but maybe don't drink for whatever reason. So um,
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: there's always a mocktail waiting for you at the end
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: of Criminalia if you are not a drinker. And then
• 25:33
