Conversations Cocktails + Connections

Ep. 234: Tequila Drinks, Salon Updates, + Best Dressed

We made a Mexican Firing Squad cocktail (tequila, grenadine, lime juice, bitters) and talked about what we’ve been watching and the drama on the Yellowstone set, Tom Cruise as an entertainer, how Amy is processing on the new salon, and Emily being the old lady of the neighborhood. Cheers! Listen wherever you like to listen to podcasts.

Ep. 233: A Pink Drink, Rainy Days, + Granddaughter Guilt

We mixed up a fancy drink with pink ice cubes and sat down on a rainy day for our happy hour this week. Cheers! Listen wherever you like to listen to podcasts.

Ep. 232: Dogs, Pollen, + A Little Bourbon

We made an in-season Clementine Smash using bourbon and talked about all the pollen in the air, Emily’s stuffy nose, the progress Amy has made on the new salon location, what we’ve been watching (Beef, Rabbit Hole, Yellowjackets), first apartment furniture (whatever happened to Pier 1?), and gave pets to our special guest. Cheers! Listen wherever you like to listen to podcasts.

Ep. 231: High-Heeled Shoes, Quiet Luxury, + Door Knocking

Ep. 231: High-Heeled Shoes, Quiet Luxury, + Door Knocking We definitely won’t be making a Popinjay cocktail again — this was our first time making a drink with Cynar, and it may be our last. We sat down for a Saturday afternoon cocktail and talked about event season, the pain of high-heeled shoes, Succession starting the conversation around “quiet luxury,” how we ignore people knocking on our doors, and allergy season. Cheers! Listen wherever you like to listen to podcasts.

Ep. 230: A Pinky-Out Drink The Tornado, + Barbie

We fixed ourselves a Chief cocktail, served in a Nick & Nora glass (that felt dainty and deserving a of a popped pinky while sipping), and talked about the massive tornado that hit Little Rock last week, the new Barbie trailer (and how excited we are for the movie), shopping for sandals and eye glasses, preserving old photos, and mom comments that you never forget. Cheers! Listen wherever you like to listen to podcasts.

Ep. 229: Mispronunciations, Red Shoes, + Missing Silverware

Ep. 229: Mispronunciations, Red Shoes, + Missing Silverware We both wore all-black outfits with red shoes, but that was not on purpose — great minds, right? Over a Slope cocktail, we catch up on all the things — like Yellowjackets, the Shrinking finale, the embarrassment of a restaurant knowing what you are going to order because you’ve been there so much, and more. Cheers! Listen wherever you like to listen to podcasts.

Ep. 228: 10 Favorite Things (Currently) We had a delicious (and very strong) Elderflower Martini then each shared our current nine favorite things (the assignment was to bring 10, but weirdly, we each brought only nine). These are always fun episodes because we are SO DIFFERENT from each other! Cheers! Listen wherever you like to listen to podcasts.

Ep. 227: A French Gimlet, Fake Bangs, + Travel Accouterments

Ep. 227: A French Gimlet, Fake Bangs, + Travel Accouterments We can definitely recommend a French Gimlet cocktail for your spring-time cheer (and try the Empress Gin to give it the fun color, too)! Over our happy hour, we talked about our packing habits — does everyone pack all the accouterment as we do, or are we crazy? We need to know! We, of course, talked about Amy’s new bangs, plus Daisy Jones and the Six, and teenage driving habits. Cheers! Listen wherever you like to listen to podcast

Ep. 225: Concert Merch, Age, + BORGs We made a Brant Cocktail (Cognac, Créme de Menthe, Angostura Bitters) and sat down for a happy hour conversation about ball season, concert-going, cookie recipes, how old we feel (vs. how old we are), and blackout rage gallons. Cheers! Listen wherever you like to listen to podcasts.

Ep. 224: A Buster Brown, New Tattoos, + Sleep Aids

Ep. 224: A Buster Brown, New Tattoos, + Sleep Aids Over our latest happy hour session. We sipped on a Buster Brown cocktail and talked about our new tattoos, a punishment ring, screened-in porches, our love for classes, sleep aid tips, and what we’ve been watching lately. Cheers! Listen wherever you like to listen to podcasts.

Ep. 223: Chatting in the Car

Ep. 223: Chatting in the Car This week’s episode was recorded as we drove to an art event for friend of the pod, Bryant Phelan. We caught up on our Valentine’s Day plans (or lack thereof), Amy’s upcoming photoshoot, Emily’s education on the Dallas Cowboys, and more. Cheers! Listen wherever you like to listen to podcasts.

Ep. 222: Spice Preferences, Skincare, + Learning Styles

Ep. 222: Spice Preferences, Skincare, + Learning Styles We mixed up a Ginger Gold Rush and settled in for a Friday night happy hour, which turned into a bit of a therapy session. We talked about spice sensitivities, the importance of skincare checkups, what we are currently watching, new workouts, projects with sand, work achievements, and our different learning styles. Cheers! Listen wherever you like to listen to podcasts.
