How did we get here? This minisode, we're just taking a moment to chat about Ryan and Ally's Fall/Halloween tradition! 

It's officially October! And today we have a special guest - Ally's brother Ryan! AKA Ryanator Fortyone! While Julia is taking care of some adult life things, Ryan is going to try out some of the warm and yummy drinks we've explored on the podcast, plus take a quiz to see what kind of Halloween creature he (and Ally) are!    You can find Ryan here: https://www.youtube.com/@ryanator41   Quiz: https://www.buzzfeed.com/livgorlewski/halloween-animal-quiz Sources for previous episodes:  Pumpkin Spice Latte:  https://www.sweetsteep.com/pumpkin-spice-sauce-recipe/ https://www.bustle.com/life/the-history-of-the-pumpkin-spice-latte-how-it-came-to-embody-all-things-fall-10222074 https://stories.starbucks.com/stories/2014/starbucks-first-pumpkin-spice-latte/ Apple Cider:  https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/ancient-origins-apple-cider-180960662/ https://www.seriouseats.com/chris-lehault-5118607 https://www.britannica.com/story/was-johnny-appleseed-a-real-person http://www.nationalapplemuseum.com/appleciderandmore.html https://www.triviagenius.com/brief-history-of-american-apple-cider/X1uyim15UQAH9iQi https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/59048/11-ways-hard-cider-shaped-american-history Chai:  https://www.thespruceeats.com/the-history-of-masala-chai-tea-765836 https://www.teatulia.com/tea-varieties/what-is-chai.htm  http://www.holycowchaitent.com/chai-history.php https://www.masterclass.com/articles/what-is-garam-masala-homemade-garam-masala-spice-blend-recipe-and-how-to-cook-with-garam-masala  https://www.thebetterindia.com/78265/chai-tea-history-india/ https://www.webmd.com/diet/health-benefits-chai-tea#1 https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/chai-tea https://www.starbucks.com/menu/product/2122273/hot https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/demerara-sugar https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/turbinado-sugar https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/jaggery#TOC_TITLE_HDR_1 https://www.washingtonpost.com/national/religion/the-splainer-what-makes-the-cow-sacred-to-hindus/2015/11/05/acdde3e2-840c-11e5-8bd2-680fff868306_story.html  https://www.healthline.com/health/food-nutrition/healthy-okra-recipes#Bhindi-Dopiyaza- https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3459456/  https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/wellness-and-prevention/ayurveda#:~:text=Ayurveda%2C%20a%20natural%20system%20of,translates%20to%20knowledge%20of%20life.  https://www.thespruceeats.com/what-is-ctc-tea-765674  https://www.britannica.com/biography/William-Ewart-Gladstone https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanjeevani_(plant)  https://www.thespicehouse.com/blogs/news/what-is-mace https://www.pepper-spray-store.com/pages/mace-vs-pepperspray#:~:text=%E2%80%9CMace%E2%80%9D%20is%20also%20a%20common,gas%20of%20OC%20pepper%20spray.&text=Tear%20gas%20operates%20differently%20from%20pepper%20spray.
