Get Religion Quick - A Good Omens Fic Nov 21, 2019

Show notes

Grace reminds the audience that she knows nothing of popular culture, so reading a Good Omens fanfiction was always going to be a stretch without Claire explaining basically the whole show. This whole podcast is basically the Odd Couple, but so is Good Omens!

Pairing: A non-alcoholic hibiscus tea, paired with the idea that you are a Victorian child and if you spend time outside in any form of weather...you will get sick.

Paranormal Activity aka Buzzfeed Unsolved Oct 31, 2019

Show notes

For this Halloween special Claire and Grace dive into paranormal activity! But instead, Claire went deep into Buzzfeed Unsolved for our Halloween episode!

Pairing: A Blue Devil. Mix 1 oz light Bacardi Rum, 1/2 oz blue curacao, 1 oz pineapple juice. Rim glass with sugar (preferably confectioners sugar, but Claire only had cane sugar) using lime juice.

Like Brothers on a Hotel Bed Oct 24, 2019

Show notes

Grace continues the streak of wearing a shirt that matches our fic today and is sporting a matching shiner. Which if you haven't seen Fight Club (like Claire) it means that she's got a black eye, which is just extra.

Everything comes back to Hashtag John Green for Claire. #JohnGreen, it's John Green all the way down.

Pairing: Dr. Pepper...and a slug of Fireball! Don't have a concussion with this pairing.

Last of the Daemones Oct 17, 2019

Show notes

Alien abduction can get weird...there can be tentacles. There can be eggs. There can be a thousand things that make Claire barf, so instead, she brought something a little tamer. Gravity falls...with alien abductions.

Pairing: Pour a base of pineapple juice into a tumbler of your choice, carefully pour the blue curacao over a spoon so that it floats on top of the pineapple juice. Carefully carry it to your co-host so that it doesn't mix for visual effect.

And that's the plot of Cats Oct 10, 2019

Show notes

What is the plot of Cats? Does anyone really know? Grace would say the answer is yes, but Claire would argue...no one really knows the true plot of cats.

Pairing: White Zin wine, because...'80s. Pair it with your ideas of what the '80s were: High sugar, high alcohol, and strangely pink. Because it's actually Franzia.

The Best Part of Waking Up Oct 03, 2019

Show notes

Grace didn't make it easy for Claire to come up with a good intro for this pairing. It's a fanfiction about the brother and sister Folger's commercial, yes, THAT Folger's commercial. But don't worry, Claire kept it as G as she could.

Our cocktail pairing is a Mexican Mudslide: 1 oz Kahlua, 1 oz Rum, 1.5 oz cream or to taste. Or buy a premix like Claire and serve in a coffee mug.

Pickles DNA Sep 19, 2019

Show notes

Grace and Claire return to their roots, the 90's, and dive into a Rugrats fanfic. The babies are back! But this time, with a dark twist.

Pairing: A dirty Shirley. Sprite, Geradine, and vodka. Served in a tiki cup, for whimsey. Rugrats...but rated M for mature.

Tithe Sep 12, 2019

Show notes

A long time ago in a fanfiction written far, far away...Young padawan Claire brings Grace a fanfiction set in the crusading times, featuring Star Wars characters Rey and Kylo Ren in a retelling of a famous ballad by the same name.

Our cocktail pairing was a twist on the green fairy: 1.5 oz grey goose vodka, 1 oz lime juice, 1 oz melon schnapps, 0.5 oz sour apple, and 0.5 oz simple syrup. Stir and serve in an interesting glass of your choosing.
