Brady shares a timeline of the band Oasis before heading off to see one of the fiesty Mancs.  (but here's an EVEN-MORE-ABSURDLY-DEEP dive) I thought I'd find better answers as to the origin, but here's a history of the Anyway, Here's Wonderwall meme. The Songsmith version Wonderwall seems to have been fully scrubbed from the internet, but here's a couple examples that live on and demonstrate just how silly/awesome it was and I hope you can now IMAGINE Wonderwall as a techno track: Nirvana's In Bloom, Motorhead's Ace Of Spades, Beastie Boys' Interglactic .  We pledge fielty to the Desert Princess (coronation Save-The-Date to follow). On a more serious note, Leyla reflects on her 1 year sober birthday and shares her sober story. If you're reading this, you should thank her for that.  I'd assumed carrot sticks for smoking cessation was a more ubiquitous concept than it turns out to be, but here's what I found anyway. Brady and Russ vibe out on sitting in with Jeremy and the Harlequins to play music together for the first time in years and handling the temptation of walking into a "fully stocked" green room.

**This episode was recorded 4/19/2023, so certain events may seem out of order in relation to our previous episode** Have you ever wondered how Brady and Russ met? Ever thought, "Gosh, they really seem like they could play for an enormous pop star!"? Well, you'd be right...... or as close as you can be to right without actually being right. Brady shares the harrowing tale of his MANY close calls to working with miss Katy Perry, both musically and in the beverage space.  Leyla and Brady discuss the impressive inaugural event thrown by Bar Nuda  and we close with being very pleasantly surprised by the the De Soi line.   Zero Proofed at Culver Hotel 6/11/23 discount link   Use our code "dryrun15" for 15% off at checkout at: JAS  ready to drink non-alcoholic "Paloma Libre" Three Spirit NA elixers and alt-wines   You can follow us on instagram at: @thedryrunpodcast @thebeverageslut @thebeveragejunkie and @rustyfawkes You can also reach us by email at [email protected] with any questions, guest, topic, or product suggestions.

Beware the Monster Moon. I tell you shwut. After some chatter about tattoos, we talk about some exciting upcoming Non-Alc events, some we've recently attended, and the rising prevalence of NA options at bars and festivals. We spend some more time on sugar addiction, gut health, and unhealthy habits in our past. We close by trying out the Prickly Paloma and the Spiced Piñarita from PARCH .

From an apartment living room in Highland Park; we chat sobriety and temptation in the desert, touch lightly on some dark moments, Russ is outted as a proud Dungeon & Dragons 'stan', and a case of "Who knows who, and how?" is solved(?).   We make good on the promise of reviewing NA beverage options and taste the Le Spritz suite of Ready To Drink spritzes from Ghia.   You can follow us on instagram at: @thedryrunpodcast @thebeverageslut @thebeveragejunkie and @rustyfawkes   You can also reach us by email at [email protected] with any questions, guest, topic, or product suggestions.   Mishka's Book: I Swear I'll Make It Up To You   Use our code "dryrun15" for 15% off at checkout at: JAS  ready to drink non-alcoholic "Paloma Libre" Three Spirit NA elixers and alt-wines

Our first episode. Wow. We really did it.   We come in hot with extremely relevant topics like disaster movies from 2 and 14 years ago, 80's-90's professional wrestling, and Ronald Reagan (feat. some wildly incorrect recollections from Russ). We then move on to actually relevant subjects like the vices picked up in recovery, the continued function of bars as social gathering places, visiting family while newly sober, and Brady's first sober marathon.   This episode doesn't have a beverage tasting because we went long VIBING, but most will feature a tasting.   You can follow us on instagram at: @thedryrunpodcast @thebeverageslut @thebeveragejunkie and @rustyfawkes   You can also reach us by email at [email protected] with any questions, guest, topic, or product suggestions.     Relevant links this episode: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/09/20/arts/design/climate-clock-metronome-nyc.html https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Ringmaster/Abraham-Riesman/9781982169442 https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/jelly-belly-ronald-reagan
