The Life of Spaguyswife

It’s the almost everything Beaver episode! There are Beaver drinks, Beaver chats and Beaver facts! The Spa People have been very busy but are back to discuss The Vancouver Sun Run, Chrystal’s social life, their kids pool party in the rain and Rod’s discovery that the Bay City Rollers are commando on their album cover. Another episode of Porta Party Chat is featured and the burning question of “How is Rod’s Ass?” is answered.

Today was the 24th Vancouver Sun Run with a record 59,000 plus people in attendance. It was chilly but clear, we walked more than we ran but I absolutely loved the experience.

What can we say, the title pretty much sums it up. The Spaboy has a sore ass for reasons unknown and we are in renovation hell. It’s Spring, yet snowing, and Chrystal is up to her eyeballs in kid activities and is preparing for the Vancouver Sun Run. We do manage to move away from the status of Rod’s butt long enough to investigate the origins of the word Canuck and introduce a new segment to the show “Porta Party Chat.” The inaugural episode features Grass Management insight with our neighbour, “Lawnboy.” We also received lots of feedback from new listeners and old! Keep it coming guys, we always love to hear from you.

Brain Hemorrhage
3/4 Peach Schnapps, 1/4 Baileys and a drop of Grenadine. Pour the Peach Schnapps into a shot glass first and then, using a spoon, layer the Baileys on top so it collects in one spot. Now add a drop of grenadine to finish off the effect. Enjoy!

Welcome to the train wreck known as episode 20. The drink feature is the Mind Eraser and it definitely worked. Chrystal can’t stop saying a word that she knows she says too much and Rod heads off to tangents unknown! The vehicle update focuses on Chrystal this week, she is in kid activity hell and had a blast at the Foreigner concert. Rod has been upgrading his office and Vancouverites bid adieu to the Canucks this hockey season! The Reality TV update continues with great roving reporter comments and we share a new Canadian word.

 #020 Anyway, Anyhoo... [57:42m]: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

An innocent voicemail causes Chrystal a lot of embarrassment but great fun for a fellow podcaster! This show discusses Chrystal’s trip to Vancouver Island and Rod’s bachelor time while the family is away. Other events cause Chrystal further humiliation and the Spa People feature chicken related beverages. Grandma turns 90, crime stats are shared in the Canadian Segment and the Reality TV recap features a very special, roving reporter.

 #019 Chicken Makes an Ass (and Drunk) Out of Me! [57:24m]: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

Garburator truly is a Canadian word! Who knew? We sure didn’t! A very special Vancouver song and a St. Patrick’s Day shot starts the show off. Chrystal is preparing to take the kids away for Spring Break and Rod doesn’t have a lot to report except “Mike’s baaack” and life goes on after Texas Hold’Em. It appears the American casinos don’t want Chrystal’s money, the Spa People are not going to get a long awaited Christmas present and Chrystal is appalled at the response time to an injury. A loop hole allows Canadian kids to bring tobacco across the border and apparently BC is the international hub for fake I.D. Things wind up with the much loved/hated reality TV segment.

A rare afternoon episode features a shooter in honour of a very special podcaster but Chrystal is the only one drinking! Chrystal discusses coffee with the Mom’s, an interesting key chain, Briana’s basketball tournament and the return of the hideous pants. Rod has a run in with the law, has been harrassing a supplier and discusses his first week as a one man operation.

Not sure what we were doing with the microphones this week but the sound quality isn’t the best. Our sincerest apologies; we will figure it out and hope to have if fixed next time around. The Spa People are a little quieter this week, Rod is cranky and Chrystal feels that the entire family requires an attitude adjustment. We ‘ve found a new drink source, have been looking for a decent drywaller and Chrystal helped out the people at Blubrry. Rod tagged the show under a porn listing and is dreading being a one man operation. Canadian news includes info on Anti Bullying Day, caffeine in soda regulations and how many rats can we legally have in our home? Chrystal shares insight into three of her favourite reality shows and we wind things up with a little bit of feedback!

Chrystal is pushing the buttons this week, literally, so things are not as smooth in the audio department but, hopefully it can only get better from here! This weeks shot focuses on breasts which makes the Spa Boy very happy. Who knew that Clamato Juice would generate so much feedback and various folks assist Chrystal with her internet paranoia. Rod continues to rack up hours on Call of Duty and yet another vehicle breakdown. Chrystal has been very, very busy with the school dance and making lots of Jello shots! Canada discussions include a field trip to Chinatown, what does the term “Canadian” mean in the states and what the heck are 222’s? Chrystal’s obsession with reality TV, chocolate covered garlic and a nomination for an official Life of Spaguyswife band bring the show to a close!

A big thanks to Lorna for supplying the recipe for this weeks shooter. We actually enjoyed this one though Rod wasn’t happy with another male referenced shot. We have a little Super Bowl recap, the snow is never ending and the van saga continues. We discuss UBC Engineer pranks, a possible JFK relative in town and Rod wants out of Valentine’s Day. Fun feedback from our listeners and a new tune is featured! Thank you to all of you who voted for us in the Podcast Peer Awards Newbie category.

The CS Cowboy is a layered shooter made from two parts cold Butterscotch Schnapps with one part of Bailey’s Irish Cream.

Shake with ice and pour in a shot glass.
