Hi friends, Amy here.

There won’t be an actual audio release this week and here’s why… we met up in person and celebrated our birthdays together, made some drinks, opened some presents, and just chatted about life. But as a result, some might find the sound quality of the finished product pretty hard to listen to.

There are lots of extra sounds because, when we meet in person we tend to get a little more animated than when we’re on our computers at our own homes. So we emphasized by banging hands on the table and even the mics occasionally. You can also hear the shaking of martinis. On top of that, since we had to sit so close together in order to all be on camera, our voices are picked up in each other’s mics. I did my best to fix that in post, but I’m not totally happy with it.

So I’m not going to release an audio version of this one. It’s definitely a visual episode anyway. So mix yourself up a Ghost Bride Martini (from Amy Bruni’s new book, Food to Die For) and head over to YouTube or Spotify and watch the video version.

In that we chatted about Paint by Numbers sets, drunk online shopping and the smell of books.

Megan argues with AP regarding the length of her work commute (AP’s not Megan’s), Amy gives a review of a newly re-opened local restaurant, and AP tells us about her solo vacation to the Pacific Northwest. We also talk a little about religion, casseroles, and our possible past lives, which is a spoiler for our episode with Jenny the Psychic that will be out in a few weeks.

And remember, if you like Moscato, drink Moscato!

We’ll see you next week for our live show! Stay spooky!
