Welcome To The Gin Ignite PodcastWhether you want to party or have a quiet night in gin will ignite NewsWelcome Hello and Welcome to Episode 30 What is your Christmas cocktail going to be ? So this is released on Friday so we have exactly one week to get into the Christmas spirit Review Reviews really help the podcast in a given podcast directory. So if you did have a chance to review the podcast I would be most grateful Weekly Gin RecommendationWeekly Gin Recommendation - https://www.instagram.com/pitwheeldistillery/ (Pitwheel Distillery) Classic Dry I have always been a real fan of Pitwheel distillery and it seems only fitting when reviewing 2020 to highlight this wonderful gin brand. Even though I had small batch gins it was not until I started tasting this gin that I realised how different craft gins are. This was also the first gin that I tasted neat. The nose of the gin has that familiar London Dry aroma and does not give any indication how special this gin actually is. On tasting it neat you get a dryness followed by a very, very subtle citrus flavour which reminds me of a very subtle parma violet taste on your palette. The taste is so smooth I would be quite happy to have this as a sipping gin. I tested this with Fever Tree Mediterranean tonic as usual and it created a very pleasant G&T. It would work well with a standard light tonic or Elderflower. It may even work with a hibiscus based tonic given that this is one of the key botanicals. This definitely has the smoothness for a dry martini but would not work for me personally. The palette is quite delicate so I would be careful what I paired it with cocktail wise. Maybe a lime based Tom Collins would be a good call. This is a gin which will be added to my long list of gin wants and is not on my gin shelf yet but I anticipate it will be in the future finances permitting 2020 Review Merry Christmas So I thought I would review the year and wish you a very Merry Christmas all at the same time. So before I review the year I would like to thank all of you for taking your valuable time to listen in to me and my guests. I have managed to connect quite a few people together this year and I am really pleased about that. Negativity There has been some negativity, especially related to Vanessa https://www.instagram.com/nessejay91/ (@nessejay91 )who got here account shutdown for a while due to an unnecessary investigation because she was reported for impersonating somebody. Also Kate from https://www.instagram.com/sipandshareuk/ (@sipandshareuk) had a troll which caused her no end of issues on some of her lives. I am glad to say that both of them talked about this and showed such strength through all of this and I am so proud of both of them. I am also so pleased that they hooked up and are doing a live with Charles and Mike on Monday 21st December 2020 at 20:00 which is really exciting. 2020 Review So now I wanted to look back at the guests that I have had on the show. Nikki Mendes https://www.instagram.com/theonlywayisgin/ (@theonlywayisgin) Nikki Mendes was my first guest and she was planning to get her gin school, signature gin and distillery setup. Sadly due to Covid she did manage to release her gin on 16th November but the other two will have to wait until next year. I have got so much time for Nikki and I am looking forward to talking to here in 2021 when everything is up and running. Vanessa https://www.instagram.com/nessejay91/ (@nessejay91) Vanessa https://www.instagram.com/nessejay91/ (@nessejay91) came on the show. We had so much fun on the show and have had so much fun ever since. She really inspires me with her posts about everything be it LGBTQ+, her life in general or cocktails. I love how brutally frank and honest she is, her attitude to life and some of the inspiring things she has done this year like #smallginseptember. She is also my mixology master. Laura Bridge from...

Kate joins Bailey to talk pirating VHS movies from Blockbuster and watching the movie before reading the book. Also Kate suffers a minor mishap with the time machine. Partygoers tell stupid jokes, debate numbers vs. words, and tell stories of what we did when we were bored as kids. Enjoy!
Growing up as a talented singer, Jonathan Mistiaris always knew he wanted to work in music. However, unlike the thousands of other musicians who grow up dreaming of becoming rockstars and lead singers, he instead had his sights set on production. Why so? Was he interested in the technical side of music, rather than just the creative side? Did he have a passion for helping artists find their voice and getting the very best out of them while they're in the vocal booth? Or did his lifelong devotion to Taylor Swift take up so much of his time that he would never have been able to commit to a demanding touring schedule?? Honestly, I think it's all three. Also Kate calls in from Italy on this one, which is pretty chill of her to do. Man, isn't she great? Long distance is tough, but we're really pushing through it.
In this episode, we talk Thanksgiving foods right off the bat, then move to me getting my invite to Cougsgiving, Joey asks to hear about my Vegas trip I took, he shares his favorite plays in College Career and talks a little Apple Cup and Bowl Game prep. Also Kate calls a few times per usual. Thanks for listening and Subscribe!
We are about to learn next level safety tips from our enneagram 6 friends. :) JUST KIDDING. But yes- we are about to talk a lot about feeling safe yourself and creating safe environments for the people you love. Kate and Josh kindly invite us into the minds of the loyalist- their fight against anxiety, managing fears, and trusting God. Also Kate gives THE MOST EXCELLENT tip to enneagram 6s. Seems incredibly helpful for us all, actually! (And you know how I feel about journaling anyways...) :) Thank God for enneagram 6 friends who fight the fear, step out in courage, and make us all feel more cared for and safe. . . . . .

In this weeks episode Dave and Kate attempt to lure you into their exciting cults! Kate Starts with the fun loving Church of Euthanasia with their support of suicide and anti-procreation. If that doesn't convince you then maybe the Happy Science Church from Japan will persuade you by denying past Japanese war crimes. Maybe Dave will tempt you with the famous cult from Oregon Rajneeshism. It seems pretty cool and chill until you realize they poisoned hundred of people, and tried to take over a peaceful now. Also Kate has a new favourite hobby!

We are back, baby, after a long hiatus caused by the deadly trifecta of the holidays, Hall of Fame craziness, and Kate forgetting that it was her turn to edit the podcast. But Kate, John, and Matthew are back, with a Frankenstein pod stitched together from bits of the forgotten pod and this newer version [ummm the podcast was actually the doctor?]. 0 - 30:00: Intro and apologia and EDGAR MARTINEZ IS OFFICIALLY A HALL OF FAMER. We make some sounds! Kate waxes long (very long) about her love of Edgar Martinez and community service, and wonders why not all baseball players don’t follow Edgar’s advice to just hit the ball where it is. Matthew describes the creamy skin of Alex Rodriguez, for some reason. John’s mic makes a weird popping noise at one point, sorry about it. Also Kate accidentally refers to Albert Pujols’s career in the past tense, and she is very sorry about it. 30:00 - 50:00: Media Day rundown. Kate recaps the highlights and summarizes the major takeaways from the day, as observed by someone sitting at home in front of the computer, including a renewed push to Control the Zone, the farm system and Andy McKay, and the first public comments by members of the front office about Dr. Martin’s accusations. Matthew looks at the players who spoke during Media Day and notes that the Mariners are infringing on Chris Rock’s copyright. Kate points out how diverse the team is getting, especially at the lower minors (and invokes this adorable moment of Taiwanese prospect Jingyu Chang hanging out with 2018 draftees Cal Raleigh and Logan Gilbert), and points out that with the departure of Nelson Cruz, Dee Gordon seems to have become the de facto clubhouse leader.

Marveling over the Mariners and Competent Baseball. Kate invents a stat called RUET [“Are you even trying?”]. John casually obliterates the Astros. 24:00 - 50:00 Previewing the upcoming 12 game/2-team series. Are the Angels broken beyond repair? What’s wrong with Colorado’s offense, and will they give us Jon Gray if we ask really nicely? Also Kate and John play everyone’s favorite new game: Where in the World is Roenis Elías? 50:00 - end: Questions! Music: Good Vibrations (the Beach Boys); Rocky Mountain High (John Denver); Going Back to Cali (the Notorious B.I.G.) Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
One of our most trollingest fans (?) joins us to confuse the heck out of us and destroy our self esteem. Also Kate muscle-f***** her way onto the episode even though we totally asked her to f*** off. Sorry.
