WE MADE IT TO EPISODE TWO! WE FINALLY HAVE A DUEL TO BEGIN THE CHAIN OF DUELS!!!! THIS IS HUGE!!!!! But first, we have a whole journey to get us there. Through Renaissance art! Through Irish rugby players! Through Esther’s insanely sweet list of 23 reverse stabbings aka compliments (look, just listen, I can’t explain what “reverse stabbings” are here in the show notes) for Kristin! Through Kristin’s inability to make friends with Grecian cats! Do we discuss early 20th century authoritarian regimes and/or serial killers? OF COURSE WE DON’T. WE WOULD NEVER DO THAT. Our Duel theme this week is “Turns of phrase that should be said more often” and listen to how we both interpreted that COMPLETELY DIFFERENTLY! And stay tuned to find out who wins … or if we both loved each others’ so much that we had to text them all to Alicia (*GONG*) to make the decision for us. Takeaway quote: “Here at Chain of Duels, we’re about sword-cut baguettes and schlong-churned--” “AAAAGGGHHHHHHH!” Another takeaway quote: “If it’s BOTH and you have a body covered in boobs, WHICH BOTH? WHICH TWO??” Highlights: + Good news! We didn’t each drink a full bottle of wine this time! So we’re just drunk on mashed potatoes and Dasani White Peach Natural Sparkling Water Beverage! + There’s a weird tiny echo sometimes when Kristin talks and we’re sorry about that -- our audio is still a work in progress! We’re learning! + Schlong-churned cream in your hot chocolate, madame? + Rugby positions (CATCH! TIGHTHEAD! JOHN! HOOKER! SCREW!) may or may not have cured Kristin of one of her words she hates. + WE ARE SORRY, PAULA ABDUL. xoxo C. Scarlywag Skook
