A Clash of Kale - Show Notes

Feeling like there's a hole in your Sunday night because Game of Thrones is in hiatus? The Lettuce Podcast can help! On this week's episode, Charlotte guides Laura through the second installments of the epic book series A Song of Ice and Fire and its companion HBO series. In A Clash of Kings, the hosts chat about the many houses of Westeros, those who have crowned themselves kings, pivotal plot points, and more. They also compare scenes from the book to their depiction in the series and discuss the changes and liberties taken in Season 2 of Game of Thrones. Charlotte talks about what makes Daenarys a magical character and how she's able to rally her people. She then explains her views on Sam's character arc and the path of his story with the Night's Watch. Laura shares why she understands Theon's struggle, but still thinks he's horrible. She also talks about why House Stark is divided physically and figuratively. Together the hosts try to figure out which Lannisters are actually evil and which are simply trying to protect the family name. Is Jaime good or bad? Is Joffrey the male version of Cercei? And is Baelon Greyjoy the worst dad in history? All these question and more are answered on this week's episode of The Lettuce Podcast!

In the Fun & Games segment, the girls take a quiz to find our which Game of Thrones character they would be and get very exciting results! Charlotte then puts Laura to the test and asks her to make predictions about the series going forward. 

 

This week's Podtail was a homemade drink Laura made in honor of a new favorite character. Brienne the Blue is a strong but sweet drink comprised of honey whiskey, blue curacao, blackberry flavored sprakling water, and blueberries.

Hip Hip Double Step - Show Notes

This week on The Lettuce Podcast, Charlotte and Laura celebrate their 50^th episode by engaging in a rap battle! For this episode, entitled the Hip Hop Double Step, each host brought 3 albums by some of their favorite hip hop artists to the table. Laura's choices included some classic hip hop such as the Notorious B.I.G.'s Ready to Die and Nas' Illmatic while Charlotte kept the conversation current with selections like Iggy Azalea's The New Classic and Lil Wayne's Tha Carter IV. The hosts compare and contrast their choices while discussing style, songs, lyrics, and more. Laura explains how her choices helped to set the foundation for her love of the hip hop genre. Charlotte talks about fast-paced rapping and how it keeps her interested in current hip hop style. Is Missy Elliot better by herself with with featured artists? Does repetition help or hurt Nas' “One Love”? Is Iggy Azalea's vocal style unique or grating? All these questions and more are answered in this week's special 50^th episode of The Lettuce Podcast.

For the Fun & Games segment, Laura and Charlotte test their knowledge of rappers' real names with a Buzzfeed quiz. They also take some time to reflect on the past 50 episode of The Lettuce Podcast and discuss their favorite and least favorite topics, what they've learned since beginning the podcast, and tease some upcoming topics!

When talking about hip hop, there is one drink above all that must be imbibed: champagne! While both Laura and Charlotte wished they could have enjoyed a flute of Cristal, they had to settle for a less prestigious brand.
