    Episode 215: Incest Adjacent Literature

    Happy end of 2024 sweet baby listeners. We thought we should bring some brightness and lightness to this real trash hole of a year... end it with a bang, if you will. We hope you enjoy listening as much as we enjoy recording. We love you and we wish you a happy new year, filled with questionable choices and loose morals.

    Episode 214: Are They Really Releasing This Episode?

Will you be also keel over from the amount of hilarity that ensues when the gals consume more CBD cocktails?!?!? Only time and yours ears will tell.

    Episode 211: The Beginning Of The Canned Cocktail Chronicles

    Oh hey ABV faithful, it’s officially summertime and that means one thing, it’s time to break out the easy drink- the canned cocktail. In order to help you sift through all the choices, the hosts have decided to bring back their review- once a week each host will pick a brand and they will drink (of course) and tell you what they think. Don’t worry, we don’t mind doing the heavy lifting. 

    This week’s canned cocktail: Kylie Jenner’s Sprinter.

    Episode 205: The Quasi Lost Episode AKA Don't Ice Me Out

    Oh man ABV darlings... when the ADHD is in full swing and all the cohosts got a touch or two, well, you often lose things, lose track of where something was placed, send the incorrect episode for editing, think you uplaodded something but didn't, etc. etc. So here she is in all her glory, the semi lost episode of ABV, well, at least lost for a week or two. Enjoy the madness friends.
