The Dry RunWe Are The Champignons (with De Soi CEO Scout Brisson) Hands down, maybe, our most easily chosen episode title.

Our conversation touches on its celebrity founder, the origin story of the brand, the several aspects that go into creating such unique flavors and the concept behind the design + packaging. Check out the entire line from De Soi he...
2024-01-161h 11The Dry RunKiss From A RoséRecorded 7/11/2023 This episode in unsurprisingly named after THIS song. *as a music nerd, it's endlessly wild that this medeival tinged r&b pop song was allowed to happen in the mid 90's. It rules....BAaaYbaaaY!* We riff on pronunciations of LA streets and neighborhoods, which takes us to trying to remember the term Semantic Satiation. We also return for a bit to the topic of "Day Zero", and Leyla pitches getting some summer sobriety reps in before the stresses of fall/winter family times. Here's a little explainer on R...
2023-10-241h 14The Dry RunBittersweet Symphony As if you needed us to tell you where the episode title comes from.

2023-10-051h 31The Dry RunPunk AF PUNK AF It's been a minute! In this episode we open on Leyla and Russ chatting their love the "The Dan", Brady opening for "The Nuge", and then go a bit deeper talking about the need to normalize providing fun, non-alc drinks at weddings. After all that, we get down to a shootout of current N/A India Pale Ales (IPAs) Best quick history I found on the origin of the IPA. Difference between West and East coast IPAs Complete list of the beers tasted i...
2023-09-211h 07The Dry RunQueen of Wands 3 out of 3 Dry Run creators agree that this song rules We chat some of the summer events we've been looking forward to, moms being internet awkward, LEYLA BE DATING (#HotLeylaSummer?)... Then we try some of the truly speechless-making offerings from Unified Ferments . Fact check stuff: Carly Rae Jepsen's Julien is the FOURTH single off of Dedicated (which is, indeed, the album after E-Mo-Tion). Hard to say whether it's about the fella we talk about or not. Name inspo? Heidi Klum as an Earthworm causes a resurgence in the "Would you...
2023-08-101h 21The Dry RunAnyway, Here's WonderwallBrady 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...

2023-05-2456 minThe Dry RunWelcome to The Dry RunOur 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 @thebe...
