Summary

Friends, it's Fall Extravaganza!! This year, we have an apple theme and take it way too far. (Would you expect anything less?) On our apple romp we get judgy but also informative, try apple recipes, and declare apple approves and abominations. Plus, we sniff sophisticated apple candles and take an apple-themed "would you rather?" quiz. Detours include witchy book club, jeans shopping, and Midwestern sayings.

For Friends of the Show on Patreon, we're sharing what we are not looking forward to this fall.

0:00.0	Welcome to the Girl Next Door Podcast. I'm Erica and I'm Kelsey. In every episode, we bring our
0:09.0	different perspectives to candid conversations that feel like chatting with good friends.
0:13.5	We started this show years ago when we were next to our neighbors and still haven't run out of
0:17.3	things to talk and laugh about yet. It is here, friends. It's time for our
0:23.4	annual fall extravaganza episode. Every year we dedicate an episode to all things autumn. We are
0:31.1	unapologetic in our love for fall and we have to work hard to create a sort of fofall this time of year here in the desert of Arizona.
0:39.4	So we're going all in.
0:40.9	This year we have a theme.
0:43.2	Kelsey had an idea to have it theme-based, you know, because we've got to keep reinventing this genre.
0:49.9	That's right.
0:50.9	This year we have an apple theme to keep things interesting.
0:54.6	So we'll be taste testing some apples, sharing some apple opinions, sharing our favorite

1:04.5	We will be exchanging our traditional fall-a-day gifts.
1:07.9	The fall Would You Rather quiz is here, the Apple edition. And we are so ready. So we hope
1:14.2	you enjoy this virtual romp through the leaves. Before we get started, though, we know this is a
1:19.6	favorite episode every year for so many of you. So while we have your attention, we wanted to
1:24.6	kindly ask a few things of you. Would you share this episode with a friend
1:29.0	and on your socials? And if you are not already a friend of the show, we would love to have you as
1:34.2	part of that community. For just $5 a month, you get bonus content from us on every episode,
1:40.1	plus you get several full-length bonus episodes from us each year.
1:50.2	Like our recent Hot Guys in Random Places episode, which was so fun to make and we laughed a lot.
