Field Mix: Charlotte's Music Madness - Show Notes,

This week on The Lettuce Podcast, Charlotte gives a peak into her iPod by sharing some of her favorite music! She and Laura welcome a guest, Stephanie, into the mix. Charlotte's eclectic mix has the girls listening to Ben Folds, Taylor Swift, Modest Mouse, and more. She also introduces Tally Hall, an early 2000's band from University of Michigan, to the group. The girls chat about their impressions of each album, their favorite/unfavorite songs, and rate each album out of 5 Chards. Charlotte talks about the unique qualities of all six artists and what made them appeal to her. Laura shares some unpopular opinions about Taylor Swift, but it still unable to deny the hook in "Style". Stephanie talks about her love of Modest Mouse and the genius lyrical talent of Isaac Brock. The three girls discuss differing opinions on Jason Mraz's sexy song "Butterfly" and agree that Sufjan Stevens is an artist unlike any other. Is Taylor Swift a good role model for young women? What is the best way to describe Jason Mraz's music? And what is up with that cooing baby interlude on Good News for People Who Love Bad News? All this and more on this week's episode of The Lettuce Podcast featuring Special Guest Steph!

Inspired by Tally Hall's song "Haiku", the girls each pen a haiku about the music they listened to during the Fun & Games segment. Laura then puts Charlotte and Steph to the test in a fast-paced guessing game app called Sevens (created for the podcast Never Not Funny). They compete in the Music category to a varied level of success. 


 This week's podtail was selected by Laura especially for Charlotte: a sour beer (one of Charlotte's favorite drinks!) called Funky Jewbelation to celebrate both music and Charlotte's Jewish heritage!

Boondock Lettuce - Show Notes

Happy St. Patrick's Day, Lettuce Heads! Laura and Charlotte are celebrating the holiday and the 1 year anniversary of The Lettuce Podcast with the ultimate cult classic: Boondock Saints! Join for a festive conversation and an Irish-themed drinking game. Laura gushes about her favorite character, Agent Paul Smecker, and his eccentricities. Charlotte talks about "The Funny Man" and the way this comedic character lightens the scene. They also discuss the reality of the plot, the mystery of Il Duce, and how the movie challenges one's idea of right and wrong. Why is Boondock Saints such a beloved cult classic? Where is the line between heroism and criminalism? And, most importantly, how the fuck did you fucking fucks fuck? All these questions and more are up for debate on this week's episode of The Lettuce Podcast! 


The Fun & Games segment has Laura and Charlotte exercising those creative muscles by writing limericks about Boondock Saints. They also use the  Irish Name Generator to find out their true Gaelic personas. In the Shout-Outs segment, Laura reads favorite Boondock Saints quotes sent in by listeners. Have a favorite quote from the movie? Share it by commenting on this post! 


This episode's Podtail was Guinness! The quintessential Irish stout for the quintesential Irish cult classic. Laura and Charlotte also played a simple drinking game throughout the episode: each had to take drink anytime the words "Irish" or "St. Patrick's Day" were said. It made for some silliness towards the end of the show!
