Cream and Sugar – Details, episodes & analysis

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

It's time for another Minisode! As promised we're going to be taking a quiz to tell us what our aesthetic is!

Not sure what an aesthetic is? Check out our last Minisode: Cottagecore, to learn more! 

BuzzFeed Quiz (not the one we take in the main part of the episode, you'll see why): https://www.buzzfeed.com/angelicaamartinez/soul-aesthetic-personality-quiz

Chai there! We are finally covering something we talk about almost every other episode, ESPRESSO! It’s time to get energized and discover that marketing is the real secret behind great inventions. Learn the differences between coffee and espresso, how to make it, and the complicated history of the machine itself. We also struggle with some pronunciations of Italian names so there are plenty of giggles and us just trying our best!

Send us your questions or just say hey:

If you have a moment, we’d really appreciate it if you'd leave us a review!

Chai there! We are so excited to talk about this drink! Affogatos are one of the yummiest food-drinks we’ve covered yet!
