We Are The Champignons (with De Soi CEO Scout Brisson)

Hands down, maybe, our most easily chosen episode title. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KXw8CRapg7k&ab_channel=QueenVEVO] (if you blur your eyes just a little you can imagine that's a Heineken 0.0 on the piano)   Happy Dry January! In this episode of The Dry Run, we have a lively and informative chat with Scout Brisson, the CEO of De Soi.

Kiss From A Rosé

Recorded 7/11/2023 This episode in unsurprisingly named after THIS song. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vx-Lzo9NxAQ] *as a music nerd, it's endlessly wild that this medeival tinged r&b pop song was allowed to happen in the mid 90's. It rules....BAaaYbaaaY!* We riff on pronunciations of LA streets and neighborhoods, which takes us to trying to remember the term Semantic Satiation [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymfC_iji6Z0].  We also return for a bit to the topic of "Day Zero", and Leyla pitches getting some summer sobriety reps in before the stresses of fall/winter family times. Here's a little explainer on Russ' mention of the gregarious info gatherer: Mavens as per Malcolm Gladwell's 'The Tipping Point' [https://www.shortform.com/blog/malcolm-gladwell-maven/#:~:text=Mavens%3A%20People%20Who%20Are%20Always,of%20(sometimes%20obscure)%20topics.] I know ya'll were EDGE-OF-YOUR-SEAT for this fact-check, but, the Sun Tea does NOT absorb/prvide vitamin D,  w [https://www.quora.com/Does-sun-tea-have-any-vitamin-D-in-it#:~:text=No%2C%20sun%20tea%20does%20not,D%20content%20of%20the%20beverage.]e do, however, have a link for a Green Tea ice cubes for facial skincare.   [https://thechalkboardmag.com/green-tea-ice-cubes-skincare-hack-for-summer/]which sounds LOVELY! So both Brady and Russ were mostly right about Pineapples and swingin' [https://cruise.blog/2022/02/pineapple-swingers-cruise-ships-truth-about-upside-down-pineapples]. Apparently the upside down pineapple is the traditional signal to others in "the lifestyle", but it's gotten a bit looser. There was mention of how Weird Al typically gets permission for his parodies [https://weirdal.fandom.com/wiki/Refused_parodies] even though he doesn't need to under strict parody/fair use copyright law: a concise explainer on Fair Use as it pertains to Parody [https://fairuse.stanford.edu/overview/fair-use/what-is-fair-use/#:~:text=In%20its%20most%20general%20sense,permission%20from%20the%20copyright%20owner.] Here's just a lil bonus cutie n/a French 75 recipe [https://thezeroproof.com/blogs/recipes/french-75] because that cocktail offhandedly came up. *********** For today's tasting, we had a great time sampling the full range from Prima Pavé [https://primapave.com/collections/all] I think it's safe to say this was hands down, maybe, one of Leyla's favorite tastings to date. *********** Use our code "dryrun15" for 15% off at checkout at: JAS  [https://drinkjas.com/] ready to drink non-alcoholic "Paloma Libre" Three Spirit [https://us.threespiritdrinks.com/] NA elixers and alt-wines

Bittersweet Symphony

Punk AF

PUNK AF [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-AbyJ_WU0M&ab_channel=Brett-Topic] It's been a minute! In this episode we open on Leyla and Russ chatting their love the "The Dan", Brady opening for "The Nuge", and then go a bit deeper talking about the need to normalize providing fun, non-alc drinks at weddings. [https://www.theknot.com/content/non-alcoholic-wedding-drinks]   After all that, we get down to a shootout of current N/A India Pale Ales (IPAs) Best quick history I found on the origin of the IPA.

Queen of Wands

3 out of 3 Dry Run creators agree that this song rules  [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HbT-OIwNP0Y&ab_channel=DavidDeanBurkhart] We chat some of the summer events we've been looking forward to, moms being internet awkward, LEYLA BE DATING (#HotLeylaSummer?)... Then we try some of the truly speechless-making offerings from Unified Ferments .  [https://unifiedferments.com/] Fact check stuff: Carly Rae Jepsen's Julien [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julien_(song)] is the FOURTH single off of Dedicated (which is, indeed, the album after E-Mo-Tion).
