Hello Bes-tea!

@HelloBesteaPodcast  Do you know what today is? It’s our anniversary! Fix yourself a glass of Witches Brew (recipe below) and toast it up with us to one year of podcasting! In true bes-tea fashion, we are having our annual Halloween Carnival and chatting a bit about what we’ve learned in our first year of podcasting. For our book club bes-teas, this month’s book selection was Episode Thirteen by Craig DiLouie so you know we are spilling the tea on that. Did you read it? Let us know your thoughts at hellobesteas@gmail.com. Cheers to one year bes-teas, and have a very safe and Happy Halloween!
*Witches Brew Recipe: https://becentsational.com/witches-brew/
For a kid friendly version, mix the alcohol and replace with Polar Blast Hawaiian Punch. It won’t come out quite as purple, but the color is still fun and the kids will love it!

Welcome back bes-teas! We’re in the Halloween spirit and to get this episode kicked off, Tashima reads a scary short story (cue Dracula music). We then share a few fun facts about Halloween and conclude with a very enlightening discussion about nursery rhymes. You know, the ones we’ve heard since childhood and have sung to our own children. Well, you may be surprised to learn that many of them stem from very dark roots…find out which ones.
Did you know the history behind some of these children’s songs? Tell us about it at hellobesteas@gmail.com

Hey bes-teas! Unless you've been living under a rock, you probably know that Hurricane Milton is making its way toward Florida. As a result, your bes-teas are in full preparation mode and had to pause on getting this week’s original episode out. Never fear though, we are re-releasing our first ever episode about Halloween so if you haven’t already seen or listened to it, you are in for a treat! We’ve got some fun Halloween episodes planned for you all month, so please bear with us as we literally weather the storm. Enjoy, stay safe, and we’ll catch you next week!

Happy Tuesday bes-teas! We’re back on the couch this week and getting kicked off with an interesting hypothetical question: If you had one minute to telepathically say anything to everyone in the world, what would it be? Spoiler: people had some hilarious responses to this! 
 
Next, we share a thread from the Mildly Infuriating Reddit group about a man who left a 10% tip to a server for poor service and was called cheap. We also share a confession from a cashier who attempted to do a good deed by giving a customer an item for free. We then shift into a dating convo that poses two questions: do you think that people unconsciously block their own happiness when dating? And would you complete a pre-marriage program on a dating app?
 
We wrap up with a round of It’s Kind of a Funny Story. Let us know your thoughts at hellobesteas@gmail.com.
 
Catch you on the couch next week!

Cue the confetti and air horns bes-teas! Drum roll please….welcome to the Hello Bes-tea Book Club!! We are beyond excited to start our book chats and can’t wait to discuss The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V.E. Schwab. 
A fantasy novel published in 2020, The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue shares the story of a young French woman named Adeline who desperately wants to live life on her own terms; as opposed to conforming to the traditional life of a woman in the 1700s. Addie makes a deal with a God of darkness and is granted immortality, with one HUGE catch: no one she meets can remember her. She lives many years learning to accept her curse, until one day, a fateful meeting changes everything. 
Grab a glass of wine and a cozy blanket, because we are going all in on this one bes-teas! Tell us your thoughts on this book and what you are reading at hellobesteas@gmail.com.

Welcome back bes-teas! This week we are hanging out on the couch spilling our tea once again and sharing two Reddit threads. In tea for the week, find out how Tashima has resumed working towards one of her goals for the year and get a quick update from Maggie on her journaling journey.
-----------------------------
The first Reddit thread is from the AITAH group on Reddit, and it is written by a young man in his early twenties who felt disappointed in his girlfriend’s birthday “gift” to him. What is the most unthoughtful gift you’ve ever received? https://www.reddit.com/r/AITAH/comments/1eyn6qo/aita_for_not_being_thrilled_about_my_girlfriends/
--------------------------------------------
The second Reddit thread is written from a woman who has been having issues with her neighbor, and wants to report them to the HOA for a violation. Are you in favor of or opposed to HOAs?
https://www.reddit.com/r/AITH/comments/1eynw38/aitah_for_turning_my_neighbors_in/?share_id=m_bwxwO68RipV0He71Mve&utm_content=1&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf&utm_source=share&utm_term=22

Peeing in pools is gross.
Do you think tampons should be free?
The math I learned in school is completely useless in my day to day life.
Do you think that nice guys finish last?
PDA is gross.
Forks are better than spoons.
The government is spying on us through our phones and computer cameras.
Do you think that you should delete your ex’s nudes from your phone?
Birthdays are overrated.
A British accent automatically makes you more attractive.
Do you think global warming is the biggest threat to this generation?
