With Charlie Davies (allegedly) sipping Mai Tais on a beach somewhere, Jimmy Conrad and Tony Meola set the scene ahead of next week's Concacaf Nations League Finals! Beginning with the USMNT, the guys discuss the potential recruitment of Luciano Acosta (04:08), Mauricio Pochettino's strong message to Gio Reyna and Tyler Adams (08:55), and who should start at SoFi Stadium (16:58). Then, the focus shifts to the reigning champions' Final Four opponents. Don't underestimate Panama under Thomas Christiansen (25:27). Javier Aguirre's Mexico roster has some surprises, but there's really only one question on everyone's lips - Can Santi Jiménez and Raúl Jiménez play together (30:26)? The guys talk about Canada's development under CIWYW alumnus Jesse Marsch, and whether the Canucks should be consider the favorites (47:39). And finally, is there a way to squeeze Antonee Robinson and Alphonso Davies into the CNL Finals Best XI (59:46)?

The union of marriage is a sanctimonious institution that has effectively been the glue that has bound our species for millennia. Without that legal commitment, which has basically stood as a contract between two people to agree to love each other til death do them part, we'd be an eight-billion-person planet full of nothing but singles ready to mingle. That's a scary thought. And we all know that uninterrupted love to the very end is fairly unrealistic, but that's why you've gotta lock that “right one” down before someone else swoops in and changes their mind. And it shows the old man in the golden throne chillin' on cloud nineteen with a Mai Tai in one hand and a heavenly joint in the other that you're a team player who abides by the scriptures. You want to make it past the pearly gates to cloud sixty-nine, right? Because matrimony is a religious indoctrination, not entirely based upon love, but in many ways necessary for the order that allows for our species to proliferate. People respond well to being given directions and told where to conform. But even though every animal in the kingdom requires a mate of opposite gender to make a baby, we are the only ones who feel the vital necessity to ink it onto paper. And even if you're an asshole like me who believes that this contract is a formality initiated by the church to keep us donating our tithes while raising future tithers, there is no escaping the fact that each and every one of us is beholden to convenience. It's why we sign with blood when committing to our internet provider. Because this is our conduit to most of the world's information. Including websites that contain salacious acts of naughtiness. Which could keep you married. Or not.
Brace yourself as Dave and Reese dive into another episode where they discuss recovering from hangovers, Reese's infamous choke incidents, and Dave's unrelenting grudge against a Brooklyn theater. Oh, and if you've ever wanted to know how Reese ranks a Mai Tai, this is the episode for you!
Few people in the cocktail world are as well known as Salvatore; you don't even have to say his surname before people begin talking about his many achievements in bartending, dating back forty years to his youth on the sun-kissed shores of the Amalfi Coast. He really is the Maestro, and it's been a privilege to call him a friend for several decades now. From inventing the Direct Martini (while at Dukes Hotel, for guest Stanton Delaplane, a Pulitzer-prize winning journalist who himself invented/popularised the Irish Coffee, depending on who you ask), to running celebrated bar programs at The Lanesborough Hotel, Salvatore at Fifty, the Playboy Club and (currently) The Donovan Bar at Browns Hotel, Velvet by Salvatore at The Corinthia London, and several projects in his native Italy. He created modern classic cocktails including The Breakfast Martini and Spicy 50, has written many cocktail books (including one that sold a million copies), an award-winning book on cognac, and is a former President of the UK Bartending Guild. And he's a lot of fun. We sat down over coffee to talk about his career, what's changed, how he used to sell five-pound Mai Tais containing 17-year-old Wray & Nephew rum, his womanising bar mentor, advice he'd give a young bartender, the art of hosting and a whole lot more.

What lessons can we extract from the acquisition of Simple Mills and majority sale of Spindrift, valued at nearly $1.5 billion combined? The hosts talk about what these better-for-you brands did right and what made them attractive to strategic companies and investors. We also sit down with Marcin Malyszko and Amit Singh, the co-founders of Mission Cocktails, a purpose-driven brand of premium ready-to-serve bottled cocktails. Show notes: 0:25: Las Diego. Big(ish) Food Was Listening. Neighbor's Big Pay Day. Hopped Up. Imposters, Deer & Bears. – John and Ray are heading west. Are you as well? Let them know. Nearly a year after Ray's rant, Simple Mills got its flowers. So did Spindrift, but we still don't have a vending machine. We're happy that hop-infused water is finally getting its due (at least from the New York Times), but less pleased with an oddly-named brand of non-alcoholic spirits. John highlights an animal-themed water, and Mike does the same, but for a ginger beer, before Jacqui praises purple snacks. 27:27: Interview: Marcin Malyszko & Amit Singh, Co-Founders, Mission Cocktails – A brand of premium ready-to-serve cocktails that donates 5% of gross revenue to local food banks, Mission Cocktails launched in 2023 and markets several products, including a Manhattan, a Margarita and a Mai Tai, all packaged in 375 mL glass bottles. The brand is sold in over 500 retail stores, including Gelson's, BevMo, Pavilions and Whole Foods. Marcin and Amit discuss the origins of Mission Cocktails and how their focus on “liquid to lips” and persistent effort to connect with retail executives has helped the brand make significant strides over the past 12 months.

The Ball Drops For SindyBy Baztrachian. (edited) Listen to the Podcast at Steamy Stories. She makes room for him over the holidays.In her freshman year at Northwestern Sindy had started working at a local coffee shop where she met Ryan. Ryan was five years older than Sindy, on the verge of graduating and merely looking at him made Sindy's pulse race faster. Ryan for his part was initially unaware of Sindy's interest in him. But over the course of the year he'd come to the coffee shop to study and he gradually started to notice the cute girl with the blonde hair always staring at him. He found himself appreciating the graceful curve of her modest breasts and her almost ever-present smile.It was a few days before the end of September when Ryan asked Sindy if she'd like to go out for a date sometime. Naturally she said yes. Sindy's parents were not wealthy but they were well off and when Sindy went to college they made sure she had her own apartment. It was just a one bedroom affair with another room that was her kitchen, dining room, and living room all in one. Where Ryan shared his cramped dormer with two other young men that meant that his dates with Sindy frequently took place at her apartment. Despite the circumstance their relationship was rather chaste. Sindy was always careful to make sure that things never got out of hand and that often left Ryan feeling frustrated. Still, he loved the girl and felt she was worth waiting for. But at the same time he longed to feel her bare skin against his own. Sindy of course had similar feelings for Ryan but she was constrained by her conservative spiritual upbringing and her parent's expectation that she wait until marriage before getting physical with a young man. Fate stepped in and late in the week before Christmas break one of Ryan's roommates had left an electric hot plate unattended in close proximity to their pathetic little Christmas tree. Fortunately the ensuing fire took place during the day when almost all of the dorm residents were off at class. The remaining few who were in the dorm at the time safely made it out when the fire alarms went off. Unfortunately the dorm was an old wooden structure and by the time the fire department arrived the building was a total loss. The fire department had no pretensions about saving the building and instead focused their efforts on preventing damage to other nearby dorms. That afternoon Ryan got word that he was now out of a home and that what few clothes he owned had been consumed in the conflagration. The only spare clothes he still had were in his gym locker and these were suddenly much more important than they had been the day before. Ryan texted Sindy and let her know about the fire. It turned out that Sindy had heard about the fire and she was of course pleased that Ryan was safe. But he had nowhere to live for the moment. The two of them agreed to meet for coffee to discuss the matter. With the Christmas break only a day away Sindy asked Ryan if he could handle sleeping on her futon couch while she was away at home. The futon couch was one of those that went from being a couch into being a bed in moments. Naturally Ryan agreed to her terms that he keep his distance while living with Sindy and with only the things in his backpack he went home with Sindy. That evening the two young people went out to gather a few sundries for Ryan to replace the things he lost. Sindy found it to be an intimate experience to shop for toiletries for her boyfriend and she also found herself desiring a more domestic lifestyle. Fantasies of marriage danced around her mind on the walk back to her apartment and she allowed herself a satisfied smile as she realized that it was now ‘their' apartment. The two of them stayed up later than usual due to the circumstance. They shared a late take out dinner and then got the couch set up as a bed for Ryan. Sindy excused herself to get ready for bed and Ryan listened as she did her evening grooming in the bathroom. He didn't see her when she went into her bedroom and closed the door. His turn in the bathroom followed and then for lack of anything else to wear he just shucked his clothes and put on a clean pair of sweat pants for the night. Sitting on his improvised bed Ryan caught his breath when Sindy returned to the room. She was wearing a simple silk nightshirt that buttoned down the front, her legs were temptingly bare, and the silk fabric readily betrayed the fact that Sindy's breasts were tantalizingly unconstrained by a bra. For her part Sindy felt flushed when she saw Ryan. It was the first time she'd seen him bare above the waist and he was everything she'd hoped for. He was well toned but not overly detailed like the narcissists she'd see in the weight rooms for hours on end. His chest had a proper tuft of hair unlike the fey boys who'd shave themselves hairless. And her eyes could not help but drift down to where she saw his sweat pants notably tented. Being a relatively cloistered girl Sindy was naïve to Ryan's erection and she merely thought it impressive. Still, the sight of her boyfriend half naked flustered the girl and she said a quick good night before retreating to the safety of her bedroom. It ended up being more than an hour before either of the two of them slipped into a slumber. The following morning saw Ryan waking up early. He started a pot of coffee and then took a shower. As he was washing himself he felt his morning hard-on and decided to do something about it. His fist wrapped around the hard cock and started working it. Trying to choke back his moans Ryan quickly spewed four strong streams of cum into the steaming water. When he came out to the main room Sindy was already there, sipping her cup of coffee. The two young people were quite awkward as they tried to make conversation and it was the welcome fact of an early train for Sindy that put an end to the moment. A chaste kiss was exchanged and then Sindy ran off to catch her train. Ryan watched her from the window as she ran down the street and when she turned the corner he saw her look back and wave. He smiled and waved at her as she walked out of sight. Arriving at home Sindy somehow managed to get through the holiday without letting her parents know about Ryan or how he was currently living in her apartment. Images of Ryan's bare chest replayed in her mind all through Christmas. At the church Christmas Eve service she found herself thinking about the birth of Jesus and how maybe someday she'd have a baby of her own. Her mind drifted back to Ryan and she snorted back a small giggle as she realized she didn't want to have an immaculate conception. Christmas came the next day and Sindy managed to slip away from her family long enough to call Ryan and wish him a Merry Christmas. The sound of his soothing voice was music to her ears and she found herself eager to get back to Evanston. Her parents were actually impressed when Sindy told them she wanted to get back to school early. Her logical reason was that she wanted to be safe back at her apartment on New Year's Eve instead of trying to travel with so many other people on New Year's Day. That particular year New Year's Day fell on a Sunday and that made the following day a work day. Even the news media predicted chaos for travel that day what with a massive snowstorm on the way for New Year's Day. It was just before lunch time when Sindy got back to the apartment. Ryan was out somewhere but she knew he'd be back because he was expecting her home. Sure enough she had just doffed her jacket and hat when Ryan came in the door. He set down a bag of groceries and the two of them shared a passionate kiss. Sindy didn't care that Ryan's hand cupped one of her boobs as they kissed. No, she realized she liked it. They broke their kiss and laughed that they were so much more passionate with each other. Sindy for her part was glad that Ryan hadn't gone any further because she didn't trust herself after having such lustful thoughts recently, for him. The two of them chatted and caught up with each other as they put away the groceries. Ryan had splurged and bought the makings for Sindy's favorite cocktail which was a Mai Tai. Sindy didn't care for champagne because it gave her headaches, so Ryan had thoughtfully planned on the Mai Tai to toast in the new year. It was just after nine when the expected snow started to fall. It wasn't long after that when Ryan poured a fifth of white rum into a pitcher and then added pineapple juice, sweetened lime juice, grenadine, and a generous amount of dark rum to round off the drink. Now Ryan could drink pretty hard, like most senior college men; but to be fair to him he wasn't planning on drinking the whole pitcher of Mai Tai that one night. The thing was that he only knew the recipe one way and that was how he made it. He expected the pitcher of the cocktail would be sipped on for a few days. At eleven the two young people sat in front of their TV and watched as the new year was welcomed in New York City. They toasted each other and Sindy finished her second Mai Tai of the evening. When she set down her glass she excused herself to get ready for bed and suggested that Ryan do the same thing. In her bedroom she pulled off her winter travel outfit of blue jeans and a flannel shirt and put on her favorite silk nightshirt. As was her habit, she dispensed with her bra for the night and felt a bit of relief as her size C globes were freed from their modest restraints. It was then that Sindy noticed her panties were moist. She sighed with irritation because this was typical around the second week after her period, each month. She didn't like that her panties would get wet with the same clear stringy fluid every ovulation. Taking off her panties she tossed them in her dirty laundry basket and grabbed a tissue to clean herself. When she was finished, she tossed the tissue in her waste basket and then opened a drawer to find a fresh pair of panties. The first pair she found were her favorite linen panties she'd bought for herself at Nordstrom. She held them in her hand and shook her head at the thought of ruining them with all the ‘snot' coming out of her pussy. “Maybe he won't notice”, she said to herself. Looking in the mirror to make sure her nightshirt covered her down to just above her knees she decided it would be okay to go without panties for the next hour. She absently nodded her head as if to approve this decision. Returning to the living room she found Ryan bare chested as usual and wearing only his sweat pants. He'd converted the futon to a bed while she was busy and was under the blankets on his makeshift bed when she returned. He invited her to join him and share his warmth. She didn't hesitate and she also didn't hesitate to help herself to the Mai Tai glass that had been refilled while she'd been changing. Ryan somehow managed to behave himself as a nearly naked Sindy sat next to him. He'd seen her profile as she walked into the room and he instantly noticed the lack of panty lines under her silk nightshirt. He felt his balls roll with anticipation when the girl got under the blankets with him. He also did his best to convince his cock to settle down as he wrapped his arm around her; both of them watching the TV which was on her side of the futon. The hour went by and soon enough there was a countdown and then the TV showed the fireworks at the Navy Pier in Chicago as the new year arrived. Ryan pulled Sindy over close and kissed her to celebrate their first new year's celebration together. The two of them were warm and tense when Sindy broke their kiss to suggest they toast the new year. Sindy's glass was empty again so Ryan got up and refilled it from the pitcher on the kitchenette counter. Returning to her, he saw her sitting up, her bare feet on the carpet and then saw the silly smile on her face. She was sitting on the edge of the futon and he thought she might be thinking about going to her bedroom. He realized she wasn't drunk but she wasn't far from it. He put the two glasses down on a side table and then knelt down on the carpet in front of Sindy. Leaning into her as she sat on the bed he gently kissed her. Her arms came up around him as she kissed him back. A few minutes went by as the two of them kissed and explored each other's bodies. The music from the celebration on TV created a very romantic tone for the moment. Sindy didn't notice when Ryan deftly undid the buttons on her nightshirt. Her whole universe at that moment was consumed with the sensations of kissing, being kissed, and feeling the strong bare shoulders of her man. She also didn't notice as Ryan gently parted her knees with his hips. “Oh.” Ryan heard her say as she felt him suckle on one of her nipples. She kissed the top of his head and her hands went to his waist as she felt him grinding himself into her crotch. Remembering that she wasn't protected by the flimsy fabric of her panties her hands went further down his waist to find the reassuring presence of Ryan's sweat pants right where they should be. Ryan pulled away from her for a moment and shut off the TV. They were now in darkness save for the light that came in from the street outside. It was also unusually quiet what with the sounds of the city muffled by an ever intensifying snow storm. In the darkness she saw him stand up and when he took her hand she obliged and stood up as well. She complied when he eased her nightshirt off of her shoulders even though she wasn't truly cognizant of the situation. The presence of his sweat pants made her feel that it was okay if one of them was naked. He guided her back to the bedroom, helped her into bed, and pulled the warm blankets over her. Then he went to the other side of the bed and climbed in. Her brief exposure to the cold air of the apartment made her welcome the warmth when Ryan moved partly on to her and kissed her again. She felt his hand explore her body and she didn't complain. His big warm hand moved around feeling her neck, her breasts, her waist, her hips, and then he slowly moved it to her pussy. She tensed when he first touched her down there but then relaxed as he gently explored and then found her button. Sindy was overwhelmed with sensation and alcohol as Ryan ministered to her needs. Ryan was no virgin nor was he a philanderer. He'd had just one girlfriend in high school and after three years of experience he knew his way around the female body. Sindy responded to his touch just like his old girlfriend used to. Her legs relaxed as he rubbed and teased her button and after some time he chanced to let a finger explore her cleft. “Omigawd” he heard as his finger easily slipped into Sindy's body. She was so wet for him. She was ready. He moved himself over on top of her and gently parted her legs. The soft underside of his cock brushed against the fine blonde hair of her pubes as the two of them adjusted to their new position. Sindy didn't give it any thought when she had to spread her legs for Ryan's legs above her. It was just the natural thing to do and she loved how his body was now pressing her down into the soft mattress. the bed that was cold a few minutes ago, was now warm and soft. She felt him moving and adjusting as they kissed. Then she felt something warm, firm, and yet soft brush against her lower belly. The alcohol made this sensation into something quizzical but not alarming. She was horny, but buzzed. She's never been in bed with a man until tonight. the entire experience was surreal and wonderful. Ryan moved himself down on the virgin and started sucking on her nipples and lightly biting them. She moaned in approval and then reflexively pulled her legs back and rested the soles of her feet against the backs of his thighs. Sindy herself was surprised when she did this. It seemed so lewd! Yet something had made her do this and it seemed like it was the right thing to do. She also felt more comfortable this way. Her primal nature directed her responses. Sindy loved feeling Ryan suckling and biting her nipples and when he started kissing his way up her chest she had a moment of longing, wishing he'd suckle her some more. His lips moved to her ear and lightly tugged at her earlobe. Then he moved his lips back to hers and she felt his tongue move into her mouth. It was her first French kiss and somehow it didn't feel new or strange to her. It felt good to have part of him inside her body. Letting him into her body was, well; was just what her body knew to do. In the midst of kissing him Sindy felt Ryan's pelvis moving on her and she became aware of something very warm pressing against her pussy. She felt her pussy lips part and then the something moved between them rubbing back and forth. It felt nice. Very nice. She knew she wanted more of this feeling. “What are you doing to me?” she whispered into the night air. “I'm making love to you.” was what she heard in reply. Her mind struggled to process the import of what they were doing and what she had just heard. 'We couldn't be having sex, right? We're just making out! And besides', she thought to herself, 'he still has his sweat pants on.' Her hands moved from his shoulders to his waist. And then she moved them to his bare ass that was moving in synch with the sensation she felt between her legs. Sindy was torn as she realized that he was naked. She realized that the thing so wonderfully sliding back and forth in her furrow was Ryan's thick and stiff bare cock. Part of her wanted him to stop. But it felt so good! 'It's safe so long as he doesn't actually go inside me' she told herself. Ryan moved and put one arm around her with his hand holding her left shoulder. His other hand snaked around her waist and held her tight. She wasn't going anywhere now and they both knew this. Ryan withdrew his cock from running between Sindy's pussy lips and for a moment Sindy felt relief that he was done and at the same time she felt a pang of loss that it was over. She couldn't help herself but to feel giddy when she felt him press into her. It wasn't the same feeling as the rubbing but she wanted it all the same. Her cunt was hot, swollen, oozing, and hungry. She felt him press into her with a kind of urgency. The blunt tip of his cock was now searching for her opening in earnest. She felt it press and then slip away from her. Then she felt his body move back and try again. “Oh, I'm not so sure…” she said as Ryan's blunt tip finally found the right spot and she felt that tip press into the mouth of her pussy. Her hands went to Ryan's waist as if to push him away. Ryan felt Sindy tense as his cock pushed past the threshold of her pussy. He felt her try to lift his body off of hers. He paused for a moment as she said something. In that brief moment Sindy understood that Ryan's mind had checked out. The same primal instincts gave him a course of directives, which his body was destined to accomplish without needing his brain to direct. He was holding her so tight and if she didn't get him to stop it would be too late! She struggled just a bit and realized her mistake as her movement got his cock into the exact right position to penetrate her body. Ryan had felt his cock push past her pussy lips but then it wasn't going any further. Then Sindy's pelvis instinctively moved around and suddenly his cock moved deeper into her pussy. Sindy caught her breath as she felt Ryan's cock slip into her pussy. She was about to ask him to stop when his strong arms held her tight and he started thrusting into her. She wasn't yet aware that her own hips were already beginning to move in sync with his primal mission. In a few moments she felt him deep inside her body and she felt his warm balls coming down, resting on her ass. “Ohmigod.” she said. Ryan felt a sense of relief with his cock finally buried into the object of his desires. He hadn't had his cock in a pussy for almost six years and the feeling was exquisite. Part of him wanted to fuck her hard and get his rocks off. A more sensible part of him reminded him that he loved this girl. “Are you okay?” he said to Sindy. “Yeah.” she whispered, “We're having sex aren't we?” He gave her a gentle thrust and replied playfully, “Yeah, I think we are.” Ryan kissed her and slowly started thrusting himself into the girl. She took a little time to relax but eventually she did and so did Ryan. He raised up slowly, dragging his engorged cock along the rippled inner walls of her deep pussie canal; only to feel his shaft switch it's polarity and drive back, deep into her deep canal again, dropping his balls again, on her awaiting ass. He paused every now and again as he fought back the urge to fuck her hard and cum. His body wanted to fuck her body, but his heart & soul wanted to become one with her heart & soul. For her part Sindy was in awe of the amazing things happening to her. She had never imagined sex would feel so wonderful and intimate. It seemed surreal that for all of the years she had imagined what this moment would be like the moment was now upon her. She loved Ryan but at this moment he was simply the man who was finally fucking her. She surrendered her intellect, over to her body. ‘Don't think,' she instinctive told her mind. ‘Don't discuss. Don't blow this moment!' ‘Your body knows what to do. So does his. Now celebrate this marvel!' It was perhaps a therapeutic benefit that she'd been more than tipsy. She played with his hair and ran her fingernails on his scalp as he fucked her. She loved that he moaned in response. She loved the heavy male scent she smelled on him. She was a little bashful about the wet squishing sound coming from between her legs but she didn't think Ryan cared. As the lovers gently fucked Sindy's mind remembered sitting in church the week before. She remembered thinking about Jesus and his mother Mary. And the immaculate conception. Sindy kissed Ryan on the tip of his nose as he fucked her. She remembered being a smartass thinking she didn't want an immaculate conception. The three Mai Tai's and the cock sliding back and forth in her pussy made it easier for her to dismiss her own thoughts. And then it registered that what she and Ryan were doing could create a baby. She heard his breath coming faster. He was moaning every now and then and she realized that she was too. Maybe she should ask him to stop? “Uhm, fuck.” he grunted. She felt him start to move a little faster. His quickly rose from her while keeping his cock inside her body. His hands went to her knees and then, scooping her legs with his arms, he raised them up to her shoulders and pressed down on her again. Her feet were now on either side of his head. She hadn't thought it possible but now he was all the way inside her pussy. He kept his cock inside of her and thrusted over and over. She felt like she was getting beaten from the inside as his cock tried to punch its way up into her belly! He slammed into her repeatedly and yelled, “Ah, ah, ah!” Sindy grimaced as his cock pressed painfully into her cervix. Then she felt his cock swell up and start fluttering inside of her belly. The realization that she was being inseminated at that moment was mind blowing for her. Something inside of her responded and Sindy found herself feeling like something was building. She felt liquid blasts deep within her, and her vaginal reflexes triggered a euphoria which flooded every cell of her body, like a strong intoxicant invading all her 5 senses. Ryan fucked her hard and managed to get a few more squirts of cum into her. It was enough that Sindy felt her body tremble and tingle. Her toes curled and she held Ryan tight. He knew what was happening to her and started giving her a steady fucking. “Hunuhh!” she uttered and then collapsed spent from her first serious orgasm. Ryan let himself fall to the side while still laying over her hips; keeping his softening cock deeply embedded inside of Sindy. Caressing her exposed breasts he spoke, “That was amazing.” She brushed back some hair from her face. “Yeah, it was. We're gonna need to talk about this tomorrow.” There was a more serious tone to her voice. “True.” he said. They both knew not to kill this sacred moment with intellectual interactions. They didn't say anything else. Sindy got up and went off the bathroom to clean up and when she came back Ryan held the blankets up to welcome her back. She spooned up to him with her back to him and they held each other as they fell asleep. Around four in the morning Ryan woke up and quickly realized that very naked and very available Sindy was cuddled up with him. His cock was quickly hard again. He kissed Sindy's bare shoulder and got no response. She was sleeping off three cocktails and a vigorous fucking after all. He let his hands explore the girl and managed to provoke a murmur of approval from her when he fingered one of her nipples. He pulled her ass towards him a few inches and then swabbed his cock at her pussy. She was sticky from their earlier exertions but when he got her pussy lips to open a bit her moisture called to him. With his hand on her hip he gently pushed into her and in a few strokes was inside of her again. She stirred and looked over her shoulder at him. “Ryan?” “Yeah, it's me.” “Oh, okay” she said pushing back on his cock. This time wasn't about Sindy. Ryan needed to nut and he found himself fucking her. Not making love to her but just plain fucking her. When he got there he held her tight and pushed deep which elicited a whimper of complaint from Sindy. His cum spewed into her again and when he was done he held himself inside of her. When they awoke it was well past seven yet it was still kind of dark out. Sindy kissed Ryan and then went off to take a much needed shower. When she was done she put on a robe and she and Ryan exchanged pleasantries as he took his place in the shower. Neither of them had yet fully comprehended the fullness of what happened to them within the past few hours. Looking out the window Sindy saw the snow coming down and when she looked at the street it was covered in white. There were the telltale lumps of parked cars but it was obvious the snowplows had other priorities. She got the coffee going and started making breakfast. She was damned hungry and that called for eggs. Ryan was finished just in time for breakfast and the two of them sat on the futon watching local news cover 'The Storm of the Century'. He had on the sweat pants and a t-shirt. When breakfast was finished Sindy refilled their coffee cups and sat back on the futon with Ryan. “So.” she said. “Yeah.” he said with resignation, preparing himself for what was to come. “I wanted it, too.” she said as she sipped her coffee. “Really? You're okay with it all?” She demurely nodded. “Yeah, I wanted you and the alcohol was just an excuse. It's not the fairy tale way to lose my virginity but it really isn't far from it. We have a warm bed and a snowstorm outside on New Year's. It's kind of romantic really.” “Sindy, what are we going to tell your parents? It's not like you can keep me a secret after this.” She looked him in the eye. “What if we have a baby? That's more important to me right now.” Sindy expected a lot of things but she didn't expect Ryan to smile. “I'd love to have a baby with you, Sindy. I'd be crazy not to.” The two had become one. Not because of a license, not because of a priest, but because the forces of nature, and nature's God had consumated their hearts and bodies. Just as the biblical patriarch, Isaac; had simply taken Rebecca into the tent and began a marriage with a mutual commitment and intercourse, God still keeps things simple. Mankind finds ways to complicate things. The tears started to flow. Ryan pulled her close to comfort her and she told him she was happy and not sad. They sat there together for a couple hours discussing ideas for a house maybe up in Wisconsin somewhere. They talked about a modest wedding ceremony. They talked about babies. They had an early dinner that night and Sindy had just finished doing the dishes when Ryan came up to her and put his arms around her. One his hands came across bare flesh under her robe. “What are you wearing under there?” he asked. “Nothing.” “You've been naked under there all day?” She smiled. “Yup. Care to do something about it?” A few moments later Sindy had her hands on the kitchen counter while Ryan was busy fucking her from behind. Looking down at her feet she wondered if she was going to be barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen. “I hope so.” she said out loud. Society didn't know they got married during the snow storm, but the two became one in the purest, most natural sense. By Baztrachian for Literotica

We've all done it; gone to have brunch and been sat next to a table that is talking (probably too loudly) about some topic that forces you to start listening more to *them* than to your own party. That's called "ear hustlin'" and that's this episode in a nutshell. Matt sat down with @dcvintagewatches, along with the dudes from @theouttatimepodcast (@summereskimo and @horologicalchronicals) for a Hawaiian-themed breakfast to discuss everything from vintage Seiko, the best men's watches for women, and a bunch of other weird stuff. That's what's cool about live recordings... when it's done right, the listener feels like they are sitting at the end of the table with us. Pour a coffee, a glass of POG, or even a morning Mai Tai, and have a listen!
[This episode originally debuted in July 2023.] Perhaps no 20th-century cocktail has resonated as strongly (or been misinterpreted as widely) as the Mai Tai. This episode considers the Mai Tai from every angle, with drinks historian, author, and bar owner Jeff “Beachbum” Berry (Latitude 29, New Orleans) delving into his first-hand research into the Mai Tai's history and how it became an international sensation, and sharing his own approach to the drink, along with best practices for Mai Tai success.Radio Imbibe is the audio home of Imbibe magazine. In each episode, we dive into liquid culture, exploring the people, places, and flavors of the drinkscape through conversations about cocktails, coffee, beer, spirits, and wine.

Joe met Lisa on a trip to the Bahamas. He saw her sipping a cocktail and asked her what she was drinking. (It was a Mai Tai.) He ordered a Whisky Sour. Then it was on to talking all night. They kissed, they danced, and he told her after a few days that he had never met anyone like her. Now Lisa had a weird feeling: “Uh-oh, I've fallen for this guy…” She thought about him every day when she got home, remembering that perfect moment on the boat trip when he took her hand and pulled her tight to him. But then... he never called…(I know, it's horrible, right?) The truth is, this often happens because of some very simple mistakes we make when it comes to falling in love.

Hello Earthlings! For this week's episode, we're continuing our summer schedule where we'll be posting a rerun of a relevant episode every other week. The Earthlings 2.0 team have been dreaming about spending our summers lounging on a quiet, peaceful deck, drinking Mai Tais under a clear sunny, blue sky ever since we heard this episode: Sailing the Silent Seas! In this exciting episode, we set sail into the transformative waters of the marine transport sector, navigating the currents of change towards a sustainable future with zero-emission yachting at the helm. Our guide through this voyage is none other than Michael Köhler, CEO of Silent Yachts, and a visionary who has been steering the solar-powered yacht movement since 2009. His vision was clear: to navigate the world's waters with minimal environmental impact, harnessing the power of the sun to create a silent, serene boating experience that aligns with the urgent need for conservation and sustainability.So, fasten your life jackets and prepare to be inspired as we explore the silent revolution transforming marine transport, one solar panel at a time. This episode is not just a conversation; it's a call to action for cleaner seas, greener yachts, and a sustainable future for our planet.Restoring Our Faith in Humanity this week is Paolo Fanciulli, an Italian fisherman who is credited with creating the Atlantis of Tuscany in a fight against illegal trawling. Beginning in 2002, he, the Tuscan government, and World Wildlife Fund Italia deployed a strategic formation of 126 underwater cement bollards to ruin the extremely expensive deep sea trawling nets used by the illegal fishing outfits. Key Topics: Energy Transition in Marine Transport: shift from fossil fuels to electric and solar power in marine vessels, highlighting the environmental urgency and potential benefits of clean energy in maritime travel.Innovations in Solar-Powered Yachting: Michael shares his journey with Silent Yachts, from concept to creation of solar-powered yachts, emphasizing the technological innovations and visionary drive behind sustainable marine design.Sustainable Sailing Experience: Lisa Ann and Michael discuss the benefits of solar yachting, including silent navigation, renewable energy generation, and the luxurious slow travel experience, underscoring its positive impact on the environment and boating lifestyle.Future of Zero-Emission Marine Transport: Michael talks about the impact of solar-powered yachting on the marine industry and environment, considering market trends, customer profiles, and the growth potential for solar yacht sales, while addressing the sector's challenges and opportunities in embracing sustainability.Voices on The Show: Michael Köhler, CEO of Silent YachtsLinkedIn Lisa Ann Pinkerton, Earthlings 2.0 Host, CEO of Technica Communications, and Founder of Women in Cleantech and Sustainability LinkedIn: Lisa Ann PinkertonX - Lisa Ann...

Adam and Zach discuss the various things they learned while traveling last week: how Las Vegas is perhaps the ideal place to get the pulse of what America, writ large, wants to drink, and why a city like Boise is an exciting and dynamic place to drink, even if it's off the radar of many enthusiasts.

Could you imagine a more tantalizing subject for this week's ~dive deep~ than this gazillion-dollar industry of floating compounds where the lines between leisure and obsession blur worse than a Carnival cruiser's vision after 12 "free" Mai Tais?? Joining the pod as Amanda's guest host is Sounds Like A Cult devotee/former long-time cruise ship employee (she's fine) Emmy McGreeghan, who went positively overboard as she divulged the culty consumerism, hierarchies, exploitation, hedonistic lawlessness, and psychological tricks cruise companies use on their acolytes to turn a simple holiday into an almost religious experience. I mean, has anyone heard of the NINE MONTH CRUISE??? So much to discuss—hope you enjoy (and possibly rethink your next floating vacation).
