3 Cocktails In
Addicting conversations between friends who have been there, done that and still want more.
We are 3 friends who got this crazy idea to start a podcast based on our friendships, family lives, professional lives and experiences! This idea kept coming up in our conversations, especially after a cocktail or two or maybe three, and we finally decided to ACT on it!
We don't claim to be experts on too many things, but friendship? Well, we've got that down. We're making our way through major life changes, searching for work that excites us, busting myths associated with 'old' people, and keeping a sense of humor about it all.

3 Cocktails In
Happy Anniversary! 3 Cocktails In Podcast Turns 1!!!
Ever wondered what connects chin hair, the pandemic, and blue cheese? Our journey with @3CocktailsIn podcast began as a way to navigate midlife milestones during the COVID-19 pandemic, and now a year later, we're celebrating the community we've built. Through candid discussions on everything from unexpected facial hair to heartfelt personal stories, we've missed only one recording week despite life's curveballs. We've cherished feedback from listeners who see themselves in our conversations, creating a space where shared dislike of eggs becomes a bond, and where we laugh about life's absurdities together.
Reflecting on the past year, technology has been our lifeline, allowing us to form surprising connections despite the miles between us. We've had the pleasure of engaging with diverse ideas, like the quirky suggestion of handing out bouncy balls for Halloween, and welcoming male voices into our conversations. With plans for live sessions, we aim to amplify our camaraderie, turning menopause woes into shared laughter. Our favorite episodes and guests like Sarah's leap into entrepreneurship, Shannon's insightful coaching, Amy Bruns challenging the travel industry and Malory's path to finding the one, have all been the highlights, offering wisdom and humor in equal measure.
As we look to the future, we're eager to reintroduce our "three shots" segment, designed to fuel personal growth and exploration. We hope our stories resonate with the trials and triumphs of midlife. We're grateful to each listener who has joined us on this wild ride, and we can't wait to see what the upcoming year has in store for @3CocktailsIn. Cheers to community, connection, and all the hilariously relatable moments in between!

Hello, and me to the top. I don't need an invitation.
Speaker 2:Hello and welcome to another episode of Three Cocktails In. Welcome to our listeners and our viewers. You guys. It is a very special evening tonight Actually it's probably not evening. At whatever time anyone happens to be listening to this, we drop these episodes at five o'clock in the morning and I I like to believe that there are people at five o'clock in the morning waiting for that download to happen.
Speaker 3:Good thought, manifest it, manifest it.
Speaker 4:I can't imagine, but sure I can't imagine, but sure.
Speaker 2:However, we record these in the evening and this is a very special recording. Tonight we are celebrating one year of Three Cocktails In I don't know. Well, actually I was going to say I don't know where the year went, but I do know where the year went. We've been busy.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah've been busy.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, we have. There has been a lot going on, so we are excited to jump in and talk a little bit about again why did we create this a year ago, and I think it'd be fun too to talk about what were our favorite episodes, and so just just a fun conversation. Stacey and Amy, I will just say it's been a pleasure doing this with you guys and I'm excited about what the next year brings.
Speaker 4:Thank you Ditto. Yes, ditto, for sure, yep, okay.
Speaker 3:So if we think about, I'm really actually kind of surprised that we made it a year. Oh, that we made it a year. We actually recorded every single week for a year.
Speaker 4:Yeah, yeah I know we did good on us. We did miss, miss one, we missed one, but stuff happens yeah.
Speaker 2:That's. That's pretty darn good, Um, because there are a boatload of things that could happen, but I love that we were all committed to it and, um, you know, we're all we, not just the three of us, but everybody in general we're all always trying to do so much. It's hard to fit everything in, but I think the three of us looked at this as I mean, this is, it's fun time that the three of us can spend together, and we just happened to be recording it and putting it out into the world, so it was fun to be able to block that time.
Speaker 3:It was really born out of COVID and we started in COVID and we have continued to do these weekly Zoom check-ins. You know the group was pretty large, the group has. You know, a couple of people didn't feel real comfortable about this scenario and schedules and stuff didn't work for them, but this is one of the great things that happened because of COVID. So thank you, I guess.
Speaker 4:One, yeah One. We found one one, yeah, I've, um, you know, also surprised that we made it the whole year and we only skipped one week. You know there were a lot of times we were scrambling, you know, either for time, a couple times people, you know, one of us was sick and not feeling well, or just our schedules didn't match a hundred things, but yet we made it 51 out of 52 weeks. So I think that was pretty good.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:I agree. So let's think back to why we started this. Why we started this. I think that you know we've picked up viewers and listeners as we've gone through the year, but there are probably people who didn't tune into our very first episode. So I think it's well, and this is, you know, we this is something that we do in business and in our personal lives.
Speaker 2:We always look back to what was the original intention of anything that we have set a plan forth on right, and the idea was, the three of us talked about it over and over and over again. Finally, somebody said are we going to actually pull the trigger on this or are we just going to keep talking about it forever? I don't remember which one of us it was. It was one of you two, I don't think it was me. So again, thank you for whoever that was. But you know, we just we kind of felt that, as we had hit our mid fifties, that there were things that we just really wanted to dig in and talk about, and things that we knew that there were other people out there that were probably feeling the same way, and so we just wanted to raise those up and have some real conversations about them and some things that were maybe a little difficult to talk about as well, and I think that we certainly hit some of those topics this year.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I know, for me, when we talk about our why and if you've listened to any of the podcasts you know that I hate that question what's your why? What's your why? But also out of COVID came a divorce, separation, a divorce, a move. I changed jobs, I changed careers, whole bunch of stuff and what I found in the before we started and certainly since we've started, but I was lacking community started, but I was lacking community People to people, specifically women um, love you guys, but you have lives, you have kids, you have husbands, you you know I'm now a solo, I'm a solo person and for me, having this outlet, hopefully we've been able to reach people and I think we have because of the comments that we've gotten back is that people listen and they talk back to what we're talking about in the privacy of their own homes.
Speaker 3:They join the conversation and for me that has been the biggest reward to get a message that somebody says oh, when you were talking about X, y, z, I was yelling at my computer or my in my with my earbuds me too, me too. Or yeah, george Clooney is hot, you know just whatever it is.
Speaker 3:I wanted there to be this, this community, this group of friends that can just hang together. So maybe we don't solve the world's problems, but yeah, yeah, we discussed them.
Speaker 4:You know, that's the conversation part. You know the first ones. I remember some of the first ones I don't get nervous, that's not it, but the first ones. You know, I was trying so hard to think of what I was going to say and try to plan what I was going to say in some instances and, you know, not write things out word for word, but you know bullet point ideas and that kind of thing.
Speaker 4:And I think we've gotten better by just having a conversation, or literally just having a conversation with each other, and you know less about trying to, you know, necessarily tell the world anything. We're just having a conversation and telling each other People that listen, I assume, just like you said, me too or maybe they fully disagree and they think, oh well, that's, you know, that's their point of view or that's my point of view. But not, you know not that I agree with everything, which is great. That's the three of us anyway. We don't agree on everything. So I think that's, you know, an interesting thing for listeners. I hope that's why they, you know, have stuck around and listened.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I think community. I agree, amy, it's, it's a. It brings a sense of community as I look at people who've commented, when people will say, oh, I'm all caught up, all caught up on all the episodes and I, and then I'll be like, oh my gosh, they're listening to the podcast. Um, one of our listeners the other day just said, um, I feel like these gals are my best friends and and we've never met her.
Speaker 3:No, never, and I'm always happy to get a new best friend. Yeah.
Speaker 2:It's. One of the things that I've loved about technology in general is that it has made the world very small. It doesn't matter where in the world you are. You can have a relationship with someone through the technology. It can be texting, it can be Facebook, Instagram, any of these forms of media and the podcast is just another way to meet people and develop relationships. So I'm so grateful for that and I love that. I love that. I'm going to I'm going to call her out. That's Anna Marie. She's one of my fabulous glam dolls. That just warmed my heart when I saw that comment. Yeah, so thank you, my friend. I didn't know who she was yeah, and that's really.
Speaker 3:You know. When you talk about technology and having conversations and having community and friends and not feeling alone, none of us are in the same location. Stacy's a three-hour drive from us. I'm a half an hour, 45 minutes from Kitty. I don't know everybody that Kitty knows. I don't know who everybody that Stacy knows, and yet I now have a wider group of people that I can say yeah, I also hate eggs. Wait, I also. You know what do you mean? You don't like peeps. Gail, you know. I don't know who Gail is. I couldn't put Gail out of a lineup. But you know, if I run into somebody at a party of ours and she's poo-pooing the peeps, I got a pretty good guess about who that?
Speaker 3:is you know, and I love that. I love that I don't have to feel alone and I hope other people you know whenever they're listening to it, you know if it's at work, if it's in your drive, if you're full and close, whatever. I hope you get the sense that we enjoy your company and we're always asking to hear. You know, come on, participate, tell us what you think and people are funny, god. Some of those things that you know. The foods that people hated. Clearly the distaste for blue cheese runs in your family, stacey.
Speaker 4:I know right, yes.
Speaker 3:Maybe that's genetic, just like cilantro.
Speaker 4:It could be, but you know my dad liked blue cheese so yeah, of all things, he was probably the pickiest eater in the world, but he ate blue cheese. So I do not, I don't understand it, I don't know, I don't get it yeah, that's funny.
Speaker 2:We posted the question today about what would be a fun, interesting thing to put into kids' trick-or-treat. You know a good trick-or-treat thing that kids would actually like, you know, maybe other than candy. And I think Trenton commented bouncy balls, bouncy balls.
Speaker 4:That's a great idea, did you see? I asked him do you still have your bouncy ball collection? Cause he had at one time when he was little. He had like this giant bag of bouncy balls. Don't ask me where he got them all, but that's why I asked him. And do you still have that?
Speaker 2:That's awesome.
Speaker 3:Yeah, and we have men that listen. That, I have to tell you, has been a little bit of a surprise. I mean, we don't really talk about girly things. We've never had a podcast about menopause, we've never, you know. We're just talking about life, friendship, this age of life, things, yeah, but I am, I think it's great that we have some men that listen and comment.
Speaker 4:Yeah, do you remember? Early on I Googled you know what are the top, you know women over 50, probably you know concerns and what, what we should do on a podcast, and that was number one and I said yeah, not, not early on I mean we could probably do it today, but I don't know why we would want to. So let's hear that yeah, we're living it. What do we want to hear it for?
Speaker 2:I feel like there are enough podcasts out there that cover the topic quite well. Yes, like from the medical perspective.
Speaker 3:there's medical professionals, so I'm like we're good there, we can we can just you know this is jumping ahead a little bit, but we're talking about things maybe to do in this next year and we, tossed around, you know, we might try the idea of a live one night stream, live, maybe see if some people want to join in. And when you talk about living the menopause thing, I'm thinking we could just have like a giant session. Anybody who wants to call in with weird symptoms, we can just all get it off our chests, commiserate with each other, give virtual hugs and move on.
Speaker 4:I think we should try that. That's a good idea.
Speaker 2:What's up with this episode.
Speaker 3:Yeah what the hell Anybody else growing chin hair, the old chin hair thing.
Speaker 2:Okay, you guys. So this is interesting, talking about chin hair. So, um, I didn't know you were, I haven't had one now for a long time.
Speaker 3:Oh, you're just gonna totally. You're just going to totally. You're going to look like Billy Goat's Gruff, like in the next week. You have cursed karma. You never say something like I've never had it.
Speaker 2:I mean, I've had them from time to time and, as we've joked about it before, it's like all of a sudden. All of a sudden, it's like you know an inch long. And you're like how did I not see that?
Speaker 4:before now.
Speaker 2:like you know, an inch long and you're like how did I not see that before now? And and everybody, you all need to have the pact amongst your girl group that you are, you know, local with that, if you see the chin hair, that you tell each other there's no embarrassment Say something, say something. But it dawned on me the other day that it's been a long time since I've had to pluck a chin hair. I don't have them.
Speaker 3:I don't have them anymore. Okay, you know, I occasionally bring in some little nuggets that I've picked up from the single life dating men world. Okay, you know, I occasionally bring in some little nuggets that I've picked up from the single life dating men world. Okay, I had been. I had been seeing somebody more than one date and I am myself on these dates. What you see is what you get, I you know. And somehow the conversation came up and I'm like oh yeah, you thought you had a bad day. I was sitting at a stoplight and saw the big old goat hair and they came back with oh yeah, I got hair growing out of my ears instead of my head and I thought, okay, well, men are also experiencing the weird midlife. You know, why can I not grow anything here? But yeah, yeah, that's right.
Speaker 2:That was kind of funny. It made me feel better. Why do their eyebrows grow like this?
Speaker 3:Like fake eyelashes, yes, and why don't they manscape them? I?
Speaker 2:don't know. Do you not see that when you look in the mirror?
Speaker 3:I do, but you know you don't have to, you don't have to like pluck, but you could. You could run your comb opposite and then just you know all of them. Don't most men have some sort of clippers? Yes, Okay, Set it on a very high thing, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, and there are also these things called the nose trimmers. So, that might be a good investment as well.
Speaker 3:Yeah, see, so I guess men should listen to us.
Speaker 4:We have all the answers.
Speaker 2:Okay, all right, what were your favorite episodes? I?
Speaker 3:know what mine is, dace, what's yours? Go ahead. Episode five Let the ship sink. Okay, I listened to it again this morning and it still holds true. It's. It is something that I think we need to continually talk about and strive for. You know, it started with kind of a funny anecdote about if you're always the one that's planning everything, you know they'll be fine. If, if you know, it doesn't go exactly to plan, and then it kind of morphed into are you the only one that's doing all the planning for holidays? You know how do you do all that, and I think we all fall back into tried and true patterns of behavior, and I just think that that is a really good episode for everybody to listen to. For me to listen to, maybe on a yearly basis, I don't know whenever I'm feeling overwhelmed, because it's okay to just say you know what, it'll be fine without my, without my energy being spent in that way. Let it go. Let it go, let that ship sink. So I really, everything we talked about in that episode still holds true. Yeah.
Speaker 4:Yeah, that was a good one.
Speaker 3:And in our brigade sink about a week ago. What was that Kitty?
Speaker 2:let the whole brigade sink a week ago. Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 3:And are you feeling better?
Speaker 2:I am so happy. And I got a message from a friend who lives in California and she and I have never met, uh, but we just know each other through um, through the jewelry business. And she messaged me this morning and she said you look completely different, yeah, on on your life. And she said on your lives on um, so she must've. She listened to the podcast. This last week. I did another podcast recording yesterday she watched that one too and she just said you look completely different. You look stress-free and happy and clearly you made the right choice, made the right decision.
Speaker 3:Yeah, that's what happens when we just let stuff go, and why did we wait till we were this age to realize it?
Speaker 2:I know I mean and it's, it's is it a rite of? Passage. Well, we and maybe we need to talk about that in a future episode, because there's probably a lot there that we could talk about Take a note somebody. Yeah, my, my sense of it is that, you know, 10 years ago or 20 years ago, you just know, I don't know I was just gonna say, well, you just know that you have to work.
Speaker 4:Yeah. But I don't know. I was just going to say well, you just know that you have to work, yeah, for security. You know you couldn't. You probably wouldn't have thought you could have done it, even five years ago.
Speaker 3:No, right, that's right. Isn't it funny how we make the choices? We make the choices yeah, there's a whole lot there Because now you're weighing financial security what we deem as financial security, against mental health security, when really we all need to occasionally do a rebalance of those things and and not just look at a fiscal bottom line. Right, yeah, we got to come back to that, yeah, okay.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we will. So one of my. I've got a couple of my favorites. One I loved, the freedom of no apologies, that was also very early. I think that was episode three, yep and and I, that was one of the things that we knew right away at the beginning that we were going to hit that as an episode, because we really felt a lot of freedom, of no apologies ourselves in our lives. We were like you guys.
Speaker 2:Isn't this great? Don't you love this feeling that we don't have to apologize for? I mean? It's not true. We don't have to apologize for. I mean I shouldn't? It's not true. We don't have to apologize for anything. Of course, if you had bad behavior, you're going to, you're going to apologize, but that's not what we're talking about. Talking about just making our own decisions and owning it and saying, no, this is what I'm going to do, or this is what I'm not going to do, and I'm not going to feel bad and I'm not going to feel bad.
Speaker 3:And I'm not going to apologize for it.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 3:I wish I could, but I don't want to.
Speaker 2:I love that one. Okay, I love that one yeah.
Speaker 4:Yeah, so yeah, those were good. My favorites were early on too, even the first couple, just because I was so excited. I was so excited, you know, to to launch our early episodes and had no idea you know what was going to happen and where it was going to go. You might be interested to know I'm the statistician this evening, probably like usual Episode one, between video and audio. We are almost at 500 downloads for that one. By far the most it's been interesting to watch people, just like Kitty mentioned, go back and start. You know they just figured out that we have a podcast and they'll go back from the beginning and, you know, watch from the beginning. We literally almost have 500 for episode one, which is cool, goes downhill pretty fast after that, it does not go downhill caught up yet well it meanders it, meanders it does.
Speaker 4:We've had more popular episodes than some. Typically we're averaging, though a hundred, you know, per episode. I think we're at ninety seven. So ninety seven downloads between Apple Podcasts, spotify, buzzsprout where our, you know, audios held and YouTube. So about a hundred 100 a week. So I think it's pretty good. That's great yeah.
Speaker 3:So, Stacey, what was one of your favorite episodes?
Speaker 4:Like I said, the first few, but then I jumped to the ones that we did around our Paris trip. You know, I was just again so excited to go to Paris. Those, of course, haven't done as great. The episode 38, where Amy and Stacey plan for our excellent Paris adventure that comes in about middle, you know, but that really wasn't very long ago. You know there's still, like I said, people kind of watching old episodes. Yeah, so I liked those. I think afterwards we came back and had a you know talked about it episode 41. So those were fun, kitty. What about you?
Speaker 3:Is there a particular episode?
Speaker 2:another particular episode, particular episode well, I want to give a shout out to the guests that we've had on. So our very first guest was sarah deedle and we really wanted to um highlight her story because she took a big risk she left corporate world and she opened a yoga studio and you guys, she's killing it.
Speaker 3:That yoga studio looks awesome, yep.
Speaker 2:Awesome, yeah, so it's been, it's been. So we talked to her like right after had she opened it yet, or she hadn't even had.
Speaker 3:She was just about ready to open it. She had started a little bit of advertising.
Speaker 2:Okay, that's right, so it's been. It was fun to listen to her talk about how she made the decision and just taking I mean taking a big risk.
Speaker 4:So episode seven.
Speaker 2:Okay, thank you. We talked to Shannon, who is a personal coach.
Speaker 3:So that was to make another appointment with her. By the way, thank you, we talked to Shannon, who is a personal coach, so that was to make another appointment with her. By the way, yeah, I got new thoughts, Love love Shannon Yep Transition coach.
Speaker 4:That's episode 21.
Speaker 2:If you're looking for that, Okay, we talked to Amy Bruns, who is a travel advisor and sort of debunking this whole. You know, we talked to people and they would say why are you using a travel agent? Nobody uses travel agents anymore. There are real reasons to use a travel advisor.
Speaker 3:It doesn't cost much.
Speaker 2:No, it doesn't necessarily cost the end user. The fees come from the venues and the travel. So that was a fun conversation with Amy Bruns and, of course, mallory that we just talked to a couple episodes ago, where she was going to share her hinge journey and her journey to love.
Speaker 3:Yes, I especially appreciated that one yeah.
Speaker 4:Yeah Well, would you like to know what our second most popular episode was? Yes, would you?
Speaker 1:It was episode 11.
Speaker 4:Amy's got the blues.
Speaker 2:Thank you, Amy, for taking over the team.
Speaker 3:She did she really did I needed that, you guys, and I feel like I'm going to have to have another one. I really do, because I'm almost a year into Match. Yep, there have been some lessons I've learned. There have been some just mind boggling. You know. Just, I got really um, my drive home today. I was feeling a little blue. I had a negotiation that lasted a couple hours on a home and there we didn't come to terms. I think we will, but got to go home and regroup and I was, you know, I'm not seeing anybody and and whatever, and I was feeling a little like down in the dumps and damn, if Cindy Loppers, true colors, doesn't come on the radio, I'm like, oh, thank you, cindy, I just really needed that. So, um, that might tie into an episode we got coming up where we're talking about the woo, woo people. Yeah, yeah. So yeah, you know, that is part of having good friends, having good community and also being vulnerable enough to share the shit you're going through, because I know it's not just me. Yeah, oh yeah.
Speaker 4:Yeah, and I think that's why it was popular, because you really, you know, you really let it out there and, um, you know, talk to all the feels.
Speaker 3:Yeah, lots of feelings. One of my children says we don't have to talk about feelings, do we Not? Feelings? We all need to talk about feelings.
Speaker 2:Yes, yeah, we do. Yeah, so well, I'm sorry that that was such a Popular episode, popular episode Amy's shit show of a life does really well in ratings.
Speaker 4:I'm just, I'm just a giver like that. Yeah, I'm guessing everybody was just curious and wondering. You know what that was all about, right?
Speaker 2:well, you know, misery loves company.
Speaker 3:It's, you know it's the train wreck you you cannot tear your eyes from. I will be, I will be. I will be that, that dating and midlife person for you all.
Speaker 2:Great yeah, Um. So where, where do we go from here? What does our second year bring?
Speaker 3:Okay, I, in listening to this and I'm sorry that I'm kind of hogging this here I noticed that we used to do a couple of things that we stopped doing. One is the three cocktails. What are our cocktails? Three shots, well, the first was the three cocktails and then it was the three shots. Well, first was the three cocktails, and then it was the three shots.
Speaker 4:Yeah.
Speaker 3:Yes, I did have a massive goblet here, but there's not much left right now Little cab, but the three shots, and I liked that where we kind of got ourselves and maybe it'll be better now. We've taken it upon ourselves to be better in the second year with planning and and scheduling and um for lack of a better term self-reflection after a month or whatever you want to talk. I would like to get back to the three shots Try it. You got three shots at trying something new this next week.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so let's make sure that people understand what we're talking about. We're not going to be doing shots on the podcast.
Speaker 3:Because only two of us can do a shot, that's right, kitty won't be.
Speaker 2:The concept was that a shot is, here's something new to try, here's an idea, something that you might not know about, or whatever. So, yeah, um, that we would each come with something. And you know, I, in the whole first year of this, you guys, I was just 100% tapped out. I had, I did not have one more minute in my day that that I could even think about okay, about, okay, what's going to be my shot. I don't know, I couldn't do it. My whole world has changed now and I think that you two have probably even seen it in the last two weeks, so I've got more time to focus on. You know, this is, this is. I've got more time to focus on this, so I can promise to come with a shot. Um, I, you guys, I don't drink during the week, I don't. I don't.
Speaker 4:Now you can, now you can, now you can.
Speaker 3:Now you can. Here's the thing Peer pressure, Peer pressure.
Speaker 2:Okay you guys, I'm 57 years old. I did not think that I would have peer pressure for drinking.
Speaker 3:You were wrong, yes.
Speaker 2:But here's the thing Even on the weekend, if we go out to dinner and I have a glass of wine in a restaurant, I do not feel good, I don't feel good later in the evening and I don't feel good the next day.
Speaker 3:That's because you're out of practice. Yes, it's not because I'm out of practice you need to get back into training.
Speaker 1:you need to get back into training.
Speaker 3:You know I'm kidding, nobody's going to. People who have listened know that this is just our ribbing. We got no problem with that.
Speaker 2:Yes, it's true. So I I may have to make a mocktail. Hey, mocktails are in man Mocktails are so in are so in, and actually there is someone that I think we we should invite to a future as a future guest, um, a woman, uh, here in Minneapolis, and she is at the forefront of the what's the term? Um.
Speaker 3:Um the NA mocktail? Yes.
Speaker 2:Yes, oh, she was doing the. She brought the NA cocktails to that Good.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Good yeah. So she's been, you know she's been interviewed, she's been on on TV and in print media. She's you know she's known for this here in the Twin Cities and it's becoming national as well, and I think it'd be fun to have her come in and talk about sort of this movement that's happening. Um, sober curious is something that people are talking about and you know, in this world again, where we see so many young people who are binge drinking and you know we're not throwing stones, we had our, you know we did our things in college and after but the danger of that is coming more to light, and so it's interesting to see some of the younger generations looking at this sober curious concept, and I'm all for it.
Speaker 3:I think it's. I think that would be a great conversation. I actually think the younger generations don't do as much binge drinking Okay.
Speaker 4:That's good.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I think that you know the change in the drinking age has. I mean yes, of course there's always the incidents and stuff. I would be really curious to talk about that.
Speaker 2:Okay, all right, I'll reach out to Jen. We'll get her on the lineup there you go.
Speaker 4:One episode I don't remember which one it was, but I talked about how my extra fridge was overflowing. Yes, how are you doing Beer cans, beer bottles, just a ton of stuff in it, right? Well, and I suggested that I was going to spend the next year drinking through it, you know, to get rid of it, which of course I'm not doing. That was. That was kind of a joke.
Speaker 3:You were spring cleaning your refrigerator, your alcohol refrigerator.
Speaker 4:Yes, I did spring clean it, take out all the old stuff. You know I still have a whole shelf of I keep the you know liquor in the refrigerator. I know you don't have to, but I like it cold anyway. But you know, if I was going to do that I'd need to like have. Oh, what is it Hot damn shots.

Speaker 4:Yeah, try to get rid of stuff, but there's just some weird stuff in there. I should clean it out and dump some of it again, but yeah, so I'm not really doing that. This sometimes is real with a little bit of vodka. Sometimes this is fake just cranberry fresca. You just never know. It's refreshing regardless. Yeah, yeah, that sounds good that it is. Yeah, I drink it a lot, fresca and cranberry, sometimes with just a little dip, some kind of fresca is underutilized it really is, if you haven't.
