Sip N' Spin

Welcome to another episode!  This week we are getting to cover the topic: mystical! The drink this time around was red wine, and while at the store Skylar was tempted by a holiday themed bottle. So that's what we are drinking to celebrate the first episode in December! Brittany didn't have a topic this week, her brain wouldn't let her focus, she's terribly sorry. So we just chit-chat for a bit in the beginning. If you'd like to move right along to Skylar's segment, you'll want to skip the first 20/25ish minutes. Skylar talks about one of her favorite practicing tools: crystals! She goes over 10 of the best crystals for beginners and their properties/uses. Also, since she's Skylar, she sprinkles in actual science with her whimsy. So if you are a crystal girlie but also enjoy some good science facts, this is the one for you! **Also, please don't replace medicine/therapy/common sense with crystals!

Welcome to another episode! This week we are talking about history while drinking white wine! Well, Brittany is going to talk about history this week, Skylar might not have an actual segment this week, but that's okay because we are great at vamping. So the episode is more like a 'just chatting' with a little bit of history in the middle somewhere. We are both drinking a pinot grigio. Brittany talks about the best, in her opinion, figure from WWll: Unsinkable Sam. If you aren't familiar with the legend, Unsinkable Sam is a cat, sometimes known as Oskar, who survived multiple ship sinkings during WWll. There's also some talk about animals during war time in general during her section, and this is really just a cute little tale about a cat. All Thats Interesting History Skills Skylar promises to redeem herself next week! She does chit-chat some about the crazy shows she is currently watching. We talk about AP high-school classes, how neither of us used to sleep when we were younger, and more random things like that! As always, thanks so much for listening!

This week we are talking about a movie while drinking a pick of Brittany's choosing. She had some peach seltzer leftover from a family get-together, so that's what we're drinking this week. While sipping on these we discuss the movie: Begin Again. Begin Again is a comedy drama that focuses on two going through a rough patch in their life, who happen to have a chance encounter and begin a promising collaboration. The movie was written and directed by John Carney. It stars Keira Knightley and Mark Ruffalo. It was released in 2013 and received 5 award wins and 18 nominations. Including an Oscar nomination for 'Best Achievement in Music Written for Motion Pictures, Original Song' for the song "Lost Stars". This is a very 'chill' movie that is big on vibes, but very enjoyable to watch. Especially if you like movies that revolve around music and the creative process. **Spoiler warning, if you have not seen this movie and would like it to not be ruined for you** As always, thanks so much for listening!

Welcome to another episode!  This week we are back on our couch classroom to hopefully teach you a few things. It's actually as if we are both back in our high school classrooms this week! So get your notebooks ready! We are going to be doing this while sipping on some white wine. Brittany is going to discuss some facts, knowledge, legends, etc. about France. France is obviously a very historical, important, and timely country so Brittany's section is a very, very light dive into some cultural aspects. There's some art talk, religion talk, and the always important discussion of if 'french fries' are actually french. There's also a little talk about a few travel destinations. (We're also not going to talk about how she said 'philosophers' in this episode...it's already haunting her nightmares.) Skylar is going to touch very lightly on some important but basic french sayings, terms, and pronunciation. Skylar's section is a little shorter than what she normally tries to do in these episodes, but French is a language she learned so long ago and is so familiar with that it was hard to determine what to start with. So just keep that in mind, but we may always dive deeper in the future! Skylar would like to remind everyone that she is by no means an expert or an official teacher. She is simply someone who loves to learn, loves to share her passions, and loves languages. As we are both just trying this episode to teach ourselves more about the world, and hopefully you as well, we are completely open and willing to learning more on the subject, or if there are any corrections anyone might have to share with us. As always, thanks so much for listening! If you enjoy us enough to share or recommend us to a friend, we would love you that much more!  xCheers!  Feel free to reach out to us!  Show  ⁠https://linktr.ee/sipnspinpodcast  ⁠ Email: sipnspinpod@gmail.com  Skylar  ⁠https://linktr.ee/gleamyks   ⁠ Brittany  ⁠https://linktr.ee/WhimsyDream --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/sipnspinpod/support

Welcome back to another episode! This week, in the perfect way to end spooky season, we get to talk about Paranormal! A topic we haven't spun since the premier of this season. It was Brittany's turn to pick drinks this week and she went with Bloody Mary's. At one point before Brittany's section Skylar mentioned this tiktoker: Tiktoker We also re-discussed some about Palestine and ways you can help. So we will be providing links to different twitter threads down below: You can click the link in this thread to donate instantly, it's one of the easiest ways to help! Women's Hygiene Productions Donations A compilation of Support threads Text your representative A link to information on what is happening Keep talking! **Please note: some of these have links that are for donations to help, but as discussed in the episode all of the donations are being blocked. There are many other ways to help though and we urge you to look into our links provided or look for resources and ways to help on your own! Free Palestine! Brittany talks about a couple of popular theorized "Gates to Hell". Hell gates are said to be all over the world and each one has many stories and lore surrounding it. She talks about one in Louisiana and the Czech Republic. Louisiana Czech Republic In her section, Skylar talks about the haunting of the Lake Club ghost! This is the ghost of Rudy Cranor who was a bartender at the club. He seems like a perfectly lovely ghost who was maybe just a little prank-y and then a man came and ruined it all.

Welcome back for another episode! Once again we find ourselves back in the kitchen! Brittany was in charge of the meal this time so we are cooking a mushroom stroganoff. While cooking this, we sip on a nice earthy pinot noir. **Please note, that while editing this episode the audio program we have used since the beginning of this podcast, decided to just drop half of our audio when we were listening back to it to edit it?? This is extremely frustrating as we had to very sloppily edit this into something but it's not at all what this episode should have been. Topics you missed out on: -a lengthy A03 discussion, as well as Skylar's process and history with writing fanfiction, as well as her two A03 alias's -2 separate conversations about the horrible things that are happening in Palestine and what you can do to help. *we were going to attach some links here for donation sites, but these have all become blocked from getting to the people that need it, so instead we encourage you to look into what is happening, share on social media, be as loud as you can. It could help more than you think! -an insane, but important census story that involved Skylar's family -Brittany's fighting with her oven and burning the garlic bread, TWO separate times -Pretty much our entire conversation while eating our meal -Tattoo talk -Brittany described the show 'Hot Ones' to Skylar -what makes stroganoff what it is -our spin for next week as well as our normal outro **It's pretty fair to say we are pissed about this (this episode should have been 2.5 hours long) so not only does it feel like our time was wasted, but you should have gotten a better episode. Because it was! We had some really fun conversations as well as some really honest and deep ones. We are going to be looking into new ways to record going forward, so if you have any program suggestions, please send them our way. **This was recorded while we were actually cooking/eating this meal, so there are many sounds you might hear in a kitchen setting. Therefore, there may be some jarring bangs, clangs, and hisses. If you are sensitive to sudden sounds, please keep this in mind. There's also some dog and cat noises.

Welcome to another episode! This week the drink was Skylar's choice and the topic was true crime! This week Skylar decided to go with a vanilla bourbon with diet coke. It was mostly bourbon, but it was good! This episode might be weird for everyone, and it might even be disappointing for some, but in this episode we explain why we are getting rid of the 'True Crime' category on our wheel. The short of it is, this is our podcast and we've always wanted it to mainly be just fun for us. As popular as 'true crime' is for a lot of listeners to different podcasts it was not a fun category for us. We got really bummed out each time the category was spun, and we have decided that's not something we want to do anymore for our own personal enjoyment and for the fact that we struggle with the morality of even covering it as a topic in the first place. Our replacement idea was maybe we cover 'fake crime' so for example, crimes that happen in tv shows and movies, or in books. That way, they do not affect any real life people and it could still be fun and probably crazy because we each consume vastly different genres of media. We unfortunately didn't really come into this episode prepared, so you get our reasonings for why we are saying goodbye to true crime and then it just becomes a bit like a 'just chatting' episode. However, we do both talk about two different things that involve crimes so there's that. Brittany talks about the crazy book she just finished and Skylar goes into a tangent about the current show she is watching that drives her up the wall. As always, thanks so much for listening!

Welcome to another episode! We are back from our accidental 'summer break', these things happen but we are happy to be back! This week we are sipping on some white wine and talking about people! (Formerly the category: creators/creatives) Brittany is talking about English actor: Neil Newbon. He is a professional actor and voice over artist and has worked in film, TV, theater, and in high-profile AAA video games in full performance capture. Best known for his work in Detroit: Become Human, Resident Evil Village, and Baldur's Gate 3. Website Twitch YouTube IMDB Wiki Skylar is talking about American actor, musician, and first love of her life: River Phoenix. River's first notable role was in the film Stand by Me in 1986 and he went on to have many memorable roles and had a promising career ahead of him, but tragically died at the age of 23.

Welcome back to another episode lovelies! This week we are in Skylar heaven because the topic is psychology and the drink is white wine, two of her favorites! There's a fair bit of chit-chat in the beginning this week, as usual, but if you want to just skip to the actual topic you'll want to skip to about the 21 minute mark. This week's episode might be a little on the shorter side, and you can blame Brittany for that. She actually doesn't have a topic this week, so it'll be just one topic..kinda. (We're us, so of course we babble on about some other topics). Skylar covers a very small portion of Developmental Psych. This is actually a topic she's wanted to cover for a while now, but has been saving it for a psychology episode. We just seem to spin this topic less than the others! Of course, Developmental Psych is a big topic, so she is actually only going to go over the two main theories associated with it.   As always, thanks for listening! xCheers!

Welcome to another episode! This week we got to choose literally whatever we wanted to talk about because we got the topic 'random' and once again: we're quite random. We also finally got to drink something good this week, because we got red wine! Brittany is drinking a Cabernet and Skylar is enjoying a Pinot Noir. Brittany is stepping away from folklore this go around, and instead talking about one of the literary OG's. Mary Shelley was an English novelist, most notably known as the author of Frankenstein. What you might not know though, is that her life was actually kinda crazy, and we are here to talk about some of it! The Unsex'd Females British Library Brandeis University We joke a lot about Skylar teaching college courses on the pod, but this time it just may very well be the honest truth of it. She came in with a whopping 36 pages of notes for her topic this week: Ethics. This is a topic she has been working on covering for a while now, so she was very excited and so happy to finally be able to. For context, we've never had notes that are that long before, so be ready for a long section. She was very factual, informative, and withheld any bias in her segment, so it's a good one if you are curious about Ethics as a whole. As always, thanks so much for listening!

Welcome to another episode! This week we got to choose literally whatever we wanted to talk about because we got the topic 'random' and boy, did we deliver on the random aspect. We, unfortunately, also had to drink something we dislike. Brittany is sipping on a root beer with whiskey, and Skylar is (not)enjoying a root beer sans whiskey. This week for random, Brittany is once again talking about some folklore. This time, focusing on a Norwegian folktale about the personification on the black plague. This topic came to her thanks to Brittany and Skylar recently playing and finishing the game Bramble: The Mountain King over on the YouTube channel. Myths & Microbes The Evergreeen Post Poem Witcher 3 Skylar is once again going to teach us all a bit of something that would be taught in a college course. This time, she talks about Murphy's Law! You may think you know what Murphy's Law is, but we bet you do not know a lot of the chaos behind it's origins. As always, thanks so much for listening!

This week we are talking about a movie while drinking something that we do not like, yay. Skylar is drinking a mango habanero cider (she does not like spicy things) and Brittany is drinking a cotton candy wine (she does not like overly sweet things). While, unfortunately, sipping on these we discuss the movie: Palm Springs. Palm Springs is a Sci-FY romantic comedy from 2020. While stuck at a wedding in Palm Springs our nihilistic male lead meets the maid of honor and draws her into his offbeat world where he thinks nothing really matters. The two embrace this idea throughout the movie and they begin wreaking spirited havoc on the wedding celebration. The film was directed by Max Barbakow and was written by Andy Siara and Max Barbakow. The movie stars Andy Samberg, Cristin Milioti, J.K. Simmons, and Peter Gallagher. The film was nominated for 45 different awards, and won 15 of them, including the award for the Critics Choice Super Award for best Science Fiction/Fantasy Movie. Palm Springs is a Hulu original film full of humor, heart, and quite a few surprises. This was a fun and easy to watch movie that we really enjoyed, and think you would enjoy as well! **Spoiler warning, if you have not seen this movie and would like it to not be ruined for you** **Trigger warning for some themes in this movie that we do discuss in the episode: drugs and suicide.  As always, thanks so much for listening!

Welcome to another episode! This week we are here to talk about one of our favorite topics, music, while we sip on something we like. Skylar had leftover mango White Claw from last time, so she is enjoying that while Brittany is sipping on one of her staples, which is a gin and tonic. Donald McKinley Glover Jr., also known by his stage name Childish Gambino, is an American actor, comedian, singer, rapper, writer, director, and producer. Brittany talks about Donald Glover Jr., also known by his stage name: Childish Gambino. Donald is an American actor, comedian, singer, rapper, writer, director, and producer. He does anything and everything it seems. Which means, her segment is a little longer this time. It's also full of lots of information, so strap in, because it's a lot to get through. We are now 100% convinced Donald does not sleep. He is a very talented man, and there was so much we learned about him. *Note: Brittany was apparently having a horrible time with words this recording, so be prepared for that I guess. Skylar finally talks about one of her favorite musicians: Hozier. Andrew John Hozier-Byrne is an Irish musician, singer, and songwriter. His music draws from folk, soul, and blues and is often full of religious and literary themes. We're sure everyone in the world knows the song "Take Me To Church", and we're so glad for that because we love Hozier on this podcast and love getting to talk about people we enjoy! Skylar did a very good job at holding in her tangents on the topic, but as always, you get her list of favorite songs at the end of her section. (Spoiler: it's every single Hozier song. Because he's amazing.) As always, thanks so much for listening! If you enjoy us enough to share or recommend us to a friend, we would love you that much more! xCheers! Feel free to reach out to us!

Welcome to another episode! This week we get to talk a little about some history and we get to do this while drinking something we like. Skylar is enjoying a lovely mango white claw and Brittany is combining two things she likes to see if they work together. It was a fad for a while on TikTok to combine red wine and diet coke, so she thought she would try it. We talk a bit more in the beginning since we haven't recorded in a few weeks, so feel free to skip the first 25-ish minutes if you don't want the chit-chat. Brittany talks about a rarely discussed moment in history involving James Jameson, heir to Jameson Irish Whiskey, and an unspeakable crime that he may or may not have committed. Giving the time frame of the incident and that there are varying accounts of the ordeal, we may never actually know what led to this terrible event that occurred. It DID happen though, and she talks about a few of the main variations of the event. Trigger warnings for this section include: slavery, racism, child abuse, and cannibalism James Jameson's Journals All That's Interesting Article First We Feast Article Skylar then goes on to talk about another not so happy event in history. She discusses The Radium Girls, who were female factory workers that contracted radiation poisoning from painting watch dials in the early 1900s. These girls, and many others, suffered due to careless factory conditions and people in charge but they were able to use their circumstances to make a change and fight back some.

Welcome to another episode! This week the drink was Brittany's choice and the topic was true crime! Brittany decided to go with an iced 'hot toddy' since it sorta ties into her segment, and it was also a weirdly warm day here. As always with us, if you want to skip our beginning chit-chat you are going to want to skip ahead about 20 minutes! Sorry, we don't know how to shut up and this is usually how it goes here!  Brittany talks about The Urantia Book, which is a religious text that claims to be from aliens and is essentially a cult. (It literally uses the word 'cult' in the book, so..)  It's a very bizarre text with very bad beliefs. She also talks about how this cult has ties to a very popular tea brand. America's number 1 tea company, to be exact. It seems that not a lot of people are aware of this connection, but this cult has again, very not good beliefs and more people should be aware of these things. Not claiming anything about the tea company itself, just talking about some of it's lesser known origins.  Trigger warnings for: racism, race eugenics, cults, religion, etc. Thought Catalogue Article Food & Wine Article Skylar goes in a lighter direction this week and tells a few different 'Florida Man' crime accounts. She originally did these "notes" when she was without a computer and was also during a very busy work time period for herself. Therefore, her section is more like a 'narration' of these crimes, as she is just reading different articles from Buzzfeed.

This week we are talking about a movie while drinking something that Brittany picked. Brittany wanted to sort of match the drink to the movie so we are sipping on a a French 75 with a twist. This drink is made up of prosecco and gin like a normal French 75, but instead of lemon juice and simple syrup, Brittany made a mixed berry syrup since the movie is kinda fruity and also french. While sipping on that, we talked about the movie: Portrait of a Lady on Fire. Portrait of a Lady on Fire is a French film from 2019. In the eighteenth century, a female painter, Marianne, is hired to paint a wedding portrait of a young woman, Heloise, who does not what to sit for the painting, since she does not want to go through with the wedding. The two grow closer during their time together on an isolated island in Brittany.  The film was written and directed by Celine Sciamma and stars Noemie Merlant, Adele Haenel, Luana Bajrami, and Valeria Golino. The movie was nominated and won many different awards including the Queer Palm award at the 2019 Cannes Film Festival. Making it the first film directed by a woman to win this award. This is a very beautiful and bittersweet movie. It has little dialogue and instead relies heavily on body language, tension, and emotional expression. If you are a fan of arty films, foreign films, or just want to look at gorgeous cinematography with a lovely storyline, we think you might like this one! We sure did.  The Vanity Fair article that Skylar mentioned in the episode.  **Spoiler warning, if you have not seen this movie and would like it to not be ruined for you** **Trigger warning for some themes in this movie that we do discuss in the episode: abortion, drugs, and suicide.  As always, thanks so much for listening!

(And to the podcast) This week we are drinking some boxed white wine, snacking on some charcuterie, and dropping all kinds of tea. Our 'topic' this week is more of a non-topic so come join us as we just chit-chat about nothing for a bit. We cover a wide range of nothing, which is something we excel at.

Welcome to another episode!  This week we are getting to cover the topic: mystical! The drink this week was 'a drink we like' so Skylar is drinking a white wine blend and Brittany is having a diet coke with some coconut rum and banana liqueur. This week's episode is a little shorter than normal, but it's still a fun one! Brittany talks some of the legendary witch: Baba Yaga. Baba Yaga is a figure featured heavily in Slavic folklore and fairy tales. She is known as a sort of 'bogey-woman' since it's claimed that she likes to eat children. She also resides in the woods in a hut that stands on chicken's feet and walks around. There is a lot more to her than meets the eye though, and in a weird way she can be seen as a feminist witch for women and we love her for that.  'Encyclopedia of Spirits' By: Judika Illes https://www.bbc.com/culture/article/20221118-baba-yaga-the-greatest-wicked-witch-of-all Skylar had a super crazy-busy week this week and so she doesn't actually have a segment this go around.

WE ARE BACK! It's season 3 loves! We are kicking this season off very similarly to how this whole thing started, with Paranormal! This time around though, we get to drink a drink that we like. Brittany is drinking a gin & tonic, naturally. Skylar is sipping on a strawberry cider (mainly because she forgot the drink and Brittany had some in her fridge)... Since this is the first time we have seen each other in a while there is quite a lot of opening banter. If you would prefer to skip all of our nonsense, you are going to want to skip ahead to the 20 minute mark. You will be missing some holiday tales & bunk-bed slander. As well as two anecdotes of Skylar's mom wildin'.  Brittany talks some about one of her personal favorite cryptids and everyone's fave paranormal boyfriend: The Mothman. You probably know the stories, but it seemed a fitting way to kick start season 3. She discusses the original sighting reports, popular theories, and the Silver Bridge tragedy. We also casually pitch the perfect setting for a future Mothman animated series. Please DM us if interested.  https://allthatsinteresting.com/mothman https://folklife.si.edu/magazine/mothman-point-pleasant-west-virginia In her section, Skylar discusses The Pine Barrens. This area is full of many different wild tales and hauntings. This is also the area of another cryptid: The Jersey Devil. Skylar talks some about The Jersey Devil, including its origins and some reported encounters, including a crossover no one could guess. She also covers a few of the popular ghosts in the area & how to potentially summon them according to local legends. There's also a Robin Hood-ish criminal and a headless pirate!

Welcome back for another episode and let's get this out of the way early: this episode is chaotic! Once again we find ourselves back in the kitchen! This time with a guest! Skylar's brother Bret is home on leave from Japan and decided to join us. Skylar was in charge of the meal this time so we are cooking a White Bean Chicken Chili. While cooking this, we sip on some white wine. We don't really have any specific topics we are mostly just chit-chatting. There's some light arguing, picking on each other, sibling things, etc. As mentioned above, it's just pretty chaotic and an hour of the recording was cut so you can just imagine what you missed. **This was recorded while we were actually cooking/eating this meal, so there are many sounds you might hear in a kitchen setting.
