Booze and Glues

Life has been pulling at us from both sides and we aren’t sure if this is just a hiatus or just the last of this particular podcast, but don’t worry, we are still friends and no one is dying (at the moment.) We sip some frosé and ponder the number of liquor stores we have, Area 51, personal space issues, life hacks, how cute babies turn into smelly teenagers, gift exchanges at work, and Brad making questionable choices. Join us for one last drink! 

We are drinking “Skinny Orange Bitches“ (Orange Vanilla Coke Zero with whipped vodka-low cal and spray tan ready.) We talk landscaping projects, fashion cycles, woke men making attempts to understand the evolving menstrual game, drag queen makeup tutorials, cool dads drinking gin, live action Disney movies, American flag overalls, and using Home Alone warfare tactics in real life situations. At this point we’ve basically given up on making crafts during the recording, but Jes is working on the birch rounds backdrop for her faux mantel....join us!

Brad gets banned from Bevmo (and we're pretty certain it's not the first time he's been banned from an establishment.) We determine that the real "man- purses" are just the men we make carry all our stuff in their pockets. Plus, we face our mortality right alongside Tony Hawk and realize we are better off growing old in anonymity. 

This is not the Natty you remember from high school.  Summer brought the glory of strawberry lemonade beer that we were poised to hate but ended up loving. Plus we get into our love of Busy Phillips, body positivity, landscaping, and aggressive driving.

Tart red wine and grammatical correctness are a must and man buns need to go. Have you ever heard of trypophobia? Tab may be dead inside, but Jessye goes all the way to Amsterdam and eats chicken McNuggets-so who has the real problem? Plus we teach Brad how to "yes, and..."

We are drinking champagne and giving fashion advice for people who don’t want to make decisions. Plus: smashing the Patriarchy, being a friend to breast feeding women, skipping leg day, a tamale dealer, and all the cool new things that the “kids” are saying.  

Do you have resting scowl face? We do, and we’re fine with it. Jessye is back from her international Special Olympics trip and has lots of stories and pictures with camels; Tab is gearing up for an epic yard sale; plus: window treatments, she-sheds, Conan O’Brien, and choosing cards for your spouse. Drink up!   

We revive a nearly extinct language from Boonville, CA thanks to a new delicious sour we are trying. Also, can you put your cat on the Keto diet? Plus: fertility, friends, word searches, childhood birthday parties, cribbage boards, she-sheds, and more!

Producer Brad has done something unforgettable-if not unforgivable-but may have hit upon a new business idea. It’s time for Tab’s annual biscotti bake, and an episode all about relationships and love, in all different forms.

 Financial advice for pro sports athletes. Gearing up for the Special Olympics World Games. Tab is becoming a “dog lady.” Jes gets sucked in by Instagram ads. Teen starlets going bad. And more. 

When should kids get to cuss? How do we know if service animals are actually serving? Why are men trying to keep us under their thumb? Podcast confessionals, kangaroo babies at work, naked tutors, and the polar vortex. What else could we even fit into this episode? #boozeandglues #drink #craft #podcast

Well, we’ve officially confirmed that Brad really is an old man in a young-ish man’s body-based on his love of raisins, and the fact that he still writes checks to pay his bills. Plus: Tab’s secret oatmeal chocolate chip cookies, a year’s worth of birthday cards, sibling rivalry, women’s reproductive health, and refinishing a cribbage table.  

Is a cheese sommelier an actual job?  Because if it is we are ready to quit our real jobs right now. And by “we” we mean Tab. Plus: new seasonal frame art, Tidying Up, creepy teachers, wreath making, bread sizing, getting scammed on the internet, the umbrella revolution, hair styling, protein cookies, and a mini French lesson.

Narwhals are all the rage and we’re sipping hot cocoa with Baileys in honor of the frigid weather. Wittmeier Auto sucks, and we’ll leave it at that. Plus a mystery oil leak, getting help when you need it, Buddy the Elf themed decor, New Year’s Resolutions (or not), and birth control. We hit on it all. 

If you collect cat sized dogs does that still make you a cat lady? Whip up a hot toddy and join us as we create play props and talk; class reunions, flash floods, spirit animals, fish bait as gifts, home births, the definition of being super married, sensory deprivation tanks, RBF & more!

Handcrafted cards have a special touch, especially when you’ve spiked your hot cocoa-which we highly recommend you do! (It will help when you realize the cards you decided to make in a fever dream are a total disaster...) Things get deep when we discuss the horrific fire that has affected our community recently, but don’t fret because we get back around to lighter things, including a bizarre yard sale story & our unsolicited opinions on Jimmy Kimmel. Drink up! 

Are we professional foodies now? Close enough. Jes is making a wheel of local restaurants so she can decide where to eat on those nights where she just can’t cook. We give you the not-so-skinny on our favorite eats, and eating out dairy free.  Meanwhile, Tab is working on a red herring flag to wave at a live taping of My Favorite Murder (her favorite podcast.)  Plus: giant babies, punctuation, automatic cat food dispensers, the inevitable AI revolution, and gift giving... Listen up, you have craft to do!

This episode we put pumpkins into a bucket and call it crafting. Jessye reveals that she has never seen Poltergeist, much to Tab’s shock and dismay. We discuss feeling up produce, killing plants and bushes, Greg the girl cat, neighborhood drama, and how we must have inspired the skull candelabra “fad.” Drink up! You have minimally complicated crafts to do...

Introducing Wayne Houle! Our first ever special guest joins us in the podcast/craft room and he graciously brought us wine (that his mom bought in Montana) and a “craft”. Brad gets a podcast related birthday present, Jessye explains to us what we are allowed to call her-because she is technically not an Olympian, and for some reason we get heavy into Tab’s favorite (not favorite) topic-Geography. ...and if you haven’t put a puzzle together with 4 tipsy adults in the recent past you don’t know what you’re missing out on!

Are we turning into our mothers? Because we’re pretty sure Trader Joes sparkling wine in a can is just a wine cooler. Either way it’s delicious, and we make another holiday appropriate wreath for a mere $3! Plus: how to crash a frat party when you look like a dad, fashion from our childhoods making a return, RIP Burt Reynolds, mental health, Jessye’s weird dreams, how safe the world isn’t for women, and how Tab’s mom has more friends than all of us combined!

It's ALL about the invitation...it sets the tone for the entire party. If you didn’t know before, now you do! We craft for and discuss all the epic-ness of the upcoming 50th bday celebration that Tab is planning for her mom: the photo booth, the alcohol, the awesome games. Plus our take on: beer, Dr. Who, high-heels, how to fight with your spouse, Jessey’s recurring dreams, and ghost sex.

We may not be able to get more hipster than this: this episode includes: Trader Joes Peach Wine-in-a-Can; repurposing wedding cards; board games; Game of Thrones; subtle racism in TV and advertising; the real deal with Christopher Columbus; and what it’s like raising a (hopefully not evil) hacker/genius. Tape on your fake mustaches and grab a local craft beer....you have craft to do!

Have you ever bought groceries online? We are pretty sure it’s the boujee-ist (is that a word?) thing ever, but Jessye is hooked!  Tab goes back for more torture, knowing full well how nasty getting tattoo eyeliner is going to be... we know, hashtagfirstworldproblems.  Plus, Jes makes her new drink specialty “guava jams” courtesy of the Hawaiian Islands! Did we craft? Not really, because Jessye finished her project before she showed up-but no worries, we have pics! 

Jessye can barely handle the level of Harry Potter fandom going on here (if you listen carefully you may actually HEAR her eyes roll.) We create a magic wand stand while we discuss parenting philosophies, Tab’s trip to Hogsmeade, Chico Heat baseball games, adult babies, and an all new measuring system. Grab your wands and fill up your cups!

This week we are celebrating summer and ‘murica. Plus, Jessye has officially done the deed and is a super married woman now!  Find out how the wedding went down (and how the bachelorette party went the weekend before.)  Is Tab a real grown up now that she’s married people, and how did the taco truck, our yard games, and all the other wedding crafts go over? Listen to find out! PS: You’ll never guess what crazy new adventure Jes is off to next!!!

Jessye's wedding is coming down to the wire and we're putting the finishing and final touches on the last of the wedding projects. Tab finally meets Courtney (of QuadCast Podcast fame) and gets real excited about a tweet from Gareth (of The Dollop Podcast fame.) We talk about getting tickets to see My Favorite Murder live, and Jessye finally finds a podcast she can get on board with- Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard.   We know it's last months' news but we listen to Laurel v. Yani and then have to educate Jes on who Jim Jones is.   

Is Space Jam becoming real life? Cause basketball players are talking about nukes on TV now. Plus, lots of underwear, Tab learns about BYOP, and Jessye finds out what she has in common with Harry Potter.

We like big butts and we cannot lie....what that has to do with our craft this week is anybody’s guess. We make a welcome “window” for one of our final “Booze and I Do’s” episodes. Plus: Tab goes to see The Dollop live and brings Dave and Gareth crafts! Jessye gives us the latest on marriage licensing…but wait, they didn’t already get married did they? And Brad still isn’t sure about his wedding date situation (then again, who WOULD want to date someone who went to a Shinedown concert?) 

Do our crafts always go as planned? Nope. But you know how the old saying goes “When life gives you a vinyl sticker that won’t stick to a door mat, make a sign out of an old pallet!”  Join Tab and Jessye as they wrap up the final crafts in their “Booze and I-Dos” series. Other topics of interest include: the latest in Tab’s tattoo collection, how many tickets we’ve acquired in our lives, and what we really think about the metric system. Drink up fam! You have craft to do.

Look, we know the way you play corn hole is the “right” way, but we’re just here to have fun… Some topics this week as we tackle our project include:  Jessye holds a puppy. Tab talks tattoos. Brad gets Bradulous. Cashew yogurt. Predictive text. Wedding updates. You get the gist.

Tab nerds out hard over Harry Potter at Universal Studios, Brad gets way specific about going back in time, and Jessye gives us the latest on the wedding front. Plus: how hard is it to be president (?) and we make a Yahtzee scorecard for giants. Drink up, you have craft to do! 

Have you tried one of these new wine clubs?! What kind of world are we living in?  You can order a guy to show up to your house with a box full of wine!! Tab almost missed out on this glorious experience when she thought the whole thing was a scam and called the company to tell them exactly that... Booze and I Do’s update: the wedding is still a go & the countdown is on! Find out what Jessye picked for her color scheme. We are working on wedding crafts, but this one seems to get the best of us and the cornhole score board stays propped in the corner for most of the episode (don’t fret, we got it finished.) Oh, and Brad won’t let us forget that he went on a Disney cruise-so drink up! 

We talk drinking stories while we make classy AF beer pong cups. Tab tells us about her visit to the Castro district in SF,  Brad gets picky about dogs, Jessye is too busy crafting to worry about talking into her mic, we imagine an epic Kardashians vs. Trump battle, and we pour out a little wine for our homies -RIP Grandpa Gordon.  

 The paint wasn’t cutting it, so we up our dice game with a wood burner! Apparently, there are more cool things you can do with a hot glue gun, Brad tries to help with the crafting and gets in trouble, Jessye confesses to walking her cat on a leash (?) and we discuss YA. Find out what color Tab’s hair is this week and why Men’s Wharehouse is on our list… It’s another episode in the “Booze and I-Do’s” saga. 

Jessye may not know what she wants for her flower arrangements, or which DJ to hire-but she definitely know she’s not jumping over a broom, and she’s going to need some oversized lawn dice for her big day! Tab’s chalkboard needs a new quote in Jes’ beautiful handwriting but only under careful supervision…she learned her lesson last time. Brad may not know who his wedding date will be...but he’s still got time to find someone (hint, hint.) Also, this should have been Episode 36, but this time Brad’s hardrive ate our homework! So, please excuse any lapses in the timeline- it won’t really matter, all your thoughts were implanted last Tuesday anyway. 

We have coined a new phrase-but you'll have to listen to find out what it is...cause it's not SFW. Get down at the jam-pad as we put the finishing touches on our 4 dozen jars of deliciousness. If you didn't get any (sorry) you can check us out on Pinterest to get the recipe we used for this bomb Kiwi Jalapeño jam. 

The holidays are over and it's officially time to start planning a wedding-but don't stress, we've got you covered! We promise not to spend every episode until June talking exclusively about I Do's because we will also have to explain the plot of Highschool musical to Tab, talk about breastfeeding, interpret crazy dreams, discuss sexism and chefs, and poke fun at Jessye for not joining us in the 21st century. So... Drink up! You have craft to do.  

Jessye and Tab invent a new acronym that is sure to catch on: FYHAWA! Brad offers to give them a unique gift. Slim fit jeans are on the chopping block, the ladies share their mutual desire for nipple tassels, and a whole lot more!  

Have you had this new Target wine? We have!! We are working on washi tape Christmas cards and chatting about drunken times.  While Tab hasn't convinced Jessye that Christmas is the BEST time of year, she has convinced her to watch Arrested Development (finally.) Drink on and listen up!

Are you cooking, baking, doing dishes (or maybe just trying to escape from those pesky relatives?) Have no fear. Booze and Glues is here!  Escape with Jessye and Tab to a land of wine and wonder... Topics include: fall crafting, llamma pronunciation, dads, water stains, elopement, and more. Happy Turkey Day!

What is a bone folder anyway? Brad misses out on an epic Sierra Nevada Oktoberfest (even though Jessye had extra tickets.) The ladies make porch crates for Fall, and according to Tab Fall is a Holiday, just like Baseball is the fifth Season. Jessye is losing her mind and Tab is talking about men losing their manhood. Join us!

This episode is NOT suitable for children, or people with sensitive dispositions, or anyone who would describe themselves as “prudish”, or maybe just anyone... We’re sorry?

This episode Tab and Jessye are creating Washi tape art that is so cute it needs to be framed! Tab is drinking vodka again, and Jessye is counting down the last few days until she can drink too. We have big news about an addition to the Booze and Glues family, and we have opinions about: balls, cancer, what defines a spiel, and South Park. Join us! 

Wherein Tab drinks margaritas and Jessye is still drinking water. Still. We're creating fence art that resembles human anatomy. We have opinions about: life and stuff, Breaking Bad, Blake's mad golf skills, Jessye is keeps singing...and Let's go RiverCats!

Wherein Tab drinks Moscow Mules, Jessye drinks water, and we create Mason jar soap dispensers. We have opinions about: banana bread, Ball jar conspiracies, homemade jam, adulting, Ben and Jerry's ice cream, Captain Crunch problems, plan for future prohibitions, civil war opiates, and each of the social medias. Join us!! 

Can't let summer go? We are painting slices of dry wood to look like juicy watermelon! Tab drinks 21st Amendment's Come Hell or High Watermelon and gets a little crazy with the seedage, Jessye's hair is on point with her new flat-iron, and we get real upset about the usage of the word fiancé (blech.) Also, Blake battles a wasps' nest!     

Coming to you on location, during a nasty heat wave, from Jessye's brand old house!  Please excuse the ECHO...Echo...echo....and is that a jet taking off in the background? Nope. It's just all the fans. Calling all Golden West League baseball players: do you sleep standing up? Plus! Jessye gets a new ring, Tab gets a real grown-up job, the ladies give you some free customer service advice, check in on Jessye's liver and introduce you to Island Boi!

This episode the ladies try real hard to make a fake fire hydrant for Jessye's dog, Torpedo. Is painting your local fire hydrant okay?? The jury is still out! Find out about how their lives are progressing in this adventure called "adulthood" as Tab continues to drink alone.... (insert sad emoji here.)

We're still working on the egg carton lights, or are they egg crates? Get in on the action as we drink homemade wine coolers and give a shout out to our mothers! Other talking points include: Cards Against Humanity, Brad's the Best!, Don't be a Dick, Maths are Hard, Jello Wrestling, Planking 2.0, and Butt Chins. 

You know what they say about people that play the harp, right?  Join us on this wonderful ride we call Booze and Glues.  All while reupholstering furniture, we'll navigate through our financial plans for Christmas, take a long detour catching up with our friend Pia (she's interested in laser beams...), and finally, we'll finish our journey trying to find ways kids will make fun of Jessye's future children's names.  We're DYING to hear from our fans - but if you spell our names wrong, we will find you...

Well, a lot has happened in the last few weeks...and you'll hear all about it here. All the May birthdays, 2 houses in escrow, new neighbor-dogs, Pinterest pitfalls, rompers, cornhole, Chris Brown, body image positivity, hipsters, and cookies!
