Hi, welcome back to Because I Said So, your favorite mother-daughter podcast. I'm the daughter, Alex. I'm the mother, Kim. Mom, how are you? I'm great.

How are you, Alex?

Fabulous. What have you been up to? You know, mom, I've been up to. I've been very obsessed with four different things. What? Eye patches in the morning. That's not a new obsession. Decaf coffee because coffee makes me anxious, but I still love the taste of it and the idea of getting like a warm cup of coffee even in the summer.

Bodka martinis.

Bodka martinis. Vodka. Vodka. Vodca. Titos, to be exact. I know everyone's like, don't get Titos. And I'm like, I love Titos. Well, they, okay, I don't, you do you actually love the flavor? Like, do you love how the Tito's taste? What do you put in? Anything? I would dump like a gallon of vermouth in it. Ooh. I love vermouth. Okay, have you... And olives. I love the olives. You do vermouth with the olives? I think so. Okay, I had to ask a bartender how I order these. Yes. You order, okay. How do you order them?

May I please have a Tito's martini up? No, dirty up. Dirty? Dirty. What is that? Olive juice or remove? Olive juice. Okay, that's what I get. Olive juice and then I get the olives in it. Yes. It's so good. Okay, that's good. That's good.

I hate olives.

So I do.

Kim's phone just rang because good. I hate olives. So I do.

Kim's phone just rang because that can be a boomer move. It's a boomer move. I do gray goose up. Okay. With a splash of quantro. What's quantro? It's a lique. Yeah. It's like a citrusy liqueur. You can sometimes use that in your margaritas instead of like a triple sec or whatever.

It's, but citrusy liqueur. You can sometimes use that in your margaritas instead of like a triple sec or whatever. But if you get more than a splash, it's really strong. So you have to have just a tiny tiny, tiny bit. So I had never had a margarita. Not a margarita. I had never had a martini, but Pat and Joey, who were on our episode last week, when we were all on Barstool v. America, we were at a steakhouse in Madison, Wisconsin, like an old school. It's called Tornado Steakhouse.

old school vibey steakhouse like looks like it's caught back in the 1980s was awesome and they were ordering martini's and i was like okay get me one so they got me one and guess what they

told me about martinis?

What? They said they're like boobs. One is not enough. Two is perfect. And you would never, ever, ever have three. Do you agree with that? I was like, okay, I'll never forget that. I couldn't even, I can't even finish one. That's good. You don't really want to go on to drinking more. How many do you have? Because, okay, so, so I'm going to say this first.

I've always had gray goose because I thought it was, I like that it's a little bit a stronger taste to me. Okay. So then we were with some people who said, Belvedere is what you want to drink. It's the smoothest best vodka. And I'm like, okay, I want to try it. it's so smooth I don't really like it like just the

the flavor of the gray goose the strength ever the I don't know what you call it consistency taste

it's the it's the taste or the after taste of it I guess but that's what I like so you're gray

goose teeny girl yes and also a number of teen now I can only have one. But when I was your age or a little bit older, we would drink, I could drink three. It would be fine. So I told you you have to be careful because if you go from one, you're good to two. Two, you usually lose your inhibitions and have the third and your toast in my case back

then when we were drinking them all the time that would be the fourth you would be toast fourth would be

the bad idea forth would be a really bad idea right now i just like enjoy sipping on them and i think

the olive juice tastes good so but so i think joey and pat are right if you go past your two
