So before we get in today's episode, I am so sick and tired of looking at these Roselle

All Day T-shirts. So Jess and I got together and created some sober merchandise for you.

So visit seltresquod shop.com and treat yourself to something sober.

Welcome to Seltzer Squad, the podcast about staying sober in the city with your host, Kate Sander and Jess Valentine. Hi Kate. Hi, Jess. Happy Memorial Day. Yay. Summer Fridays are officially starting.

Yes. I never had summer Fridays, though. I've never worked in an office.

But I'm going to assume that means that you either get out of work really early and or...

Don't have to go at all.

Oh, see, I was thinking maybe there's like, like you guys stop working early and have like a cocktail party.

Or they'll do that.

Yeah, yeah.

I mean, everybody's office does it differently.

Summer Fridays are kind of a weird thing because no one fucking does any work that day. You know, you're just

like, can't wait to get out, you know? Why are you even there? And most people do go drink,

right, as soon as they leave work because there's all sorts of happy hour specials and bistro seating

and rooftop bars and booze and cruises on the river. And there's like a million,

bajillion things to do, but we're sober.

So I want to break down Memorial Day weekend kicking off summer and all the ways

we're not going to do that this summer.

which is at the Carlisle Hotel.

And it was basically like I drank alcohol because I spent the same amount of money.

Did you have mocktails?
