R and R Pod

We kick off this episode showing off our Mariachi skills before quickly diving into the GOAT conversation. Ricky also teaches Richard how scoring in golf works only to find out Richard could have been the next Tiger Woods. Yes, because he's black. Wowwwww this episode heats up as we sip on the goat's tequila Cincoro Añejo.

In a shocking turn of events Richard is able to ring the Clase Azul bell with no difficulty to kick us off into episode 17. Summer moves forward and campaign season heats up as we talk olympics, mariners, Taste of Edmonds, and of course make some Trump Impressions. All while we sip on one of the industry's best and most-known Tequila's, Clase Azul Reposado, and scarf down Santa Fe Salad's Major Payne style.

There's finally some tension between our hosts as we debate if R and R stands for Rick and Rich or Rich and Rick. We all know there's one correct answer... Sorry Richard! We reflect on the first half of the year and dive into the self imposed pressure and imposter syndrome so many of us battle. We also ponder if our drinks of choice are representations of ourselves - Old Fashioned's and Champagne. Pretty obvious who is who... All while we sip on 1800 Cristalino and snack on Chile Rellenos.

We got an amazing guest and an amazing cause you’ll want to get behind!! We welcome Kwabi Amoah-Forson to promote All-Youth-Can-Eat - a program to help feed kids and college students with food insecurity (Santa Fe Seattle participating Mondays!). Kwabi shares how he ended up creating the Peacebus, getting himself a mural and a lead acting role in an upcoming movie, and we get into a deep convo describing what peace means to us. Ricky also drops some 2pac versus to fit in with his black friends. But most of all - we talk about changing the lens from seeing things as charity to seeing them as human progress. All while we sip on Tequila Ocho Reposado and snack on some Kids quesadillas and tacos.

Today we bring in a true agave expert! Sean Cameron from Pacific Edge Wine and Spirits joins the show and breaks down his move from Philadelphia to Seattle and how it led him to a passion for Tequila and Mezcal. Yes, the real-life Fresh Prince of Bel-Air (or Ballard). We talk about the passion of our work, how to properly sip, and how to get off the beaten path to find the highest quality agave spirits. All while we sip on Campo Azul and snack on Chile Verde.

It's June! And Richard is already listening to Christmas music... Recording it, in fact. We get jolly and talk high fashion, Anti V (not what it sounds like), and blue chews (yes what it sounds like) in this episode. All while we sip on Avión Reserva 44 and snack on Tacos de Carnitas de Puerco.

Richard comes in hot with a heavy hitting topic - favorite video games growing up. He was the weird cousin with the Sega genesis... We also welcome back a Karen of the Week as we recap Cinco de Drinko and we start getting excited for summa, summa, summa tiiiiime. All while we sip on You Baal Mezcal Joven and fish tacos.

It's our 10th episode! Or ep, as the kids say. We welcome our first female guest to the show - the amazing Gillian Young from Young Marketing LLC. She reveals the secret sauce behind branding, we learn about Ricky's dark past with the zoo, and Richard finds out the sad truth behind drinking the kool-aid. All while we sip on Grand Mayan Silver and snack on Avocado Tostadas.

Richard's Spanish vocabulary gets out of hand, we get to the truth behind Cinco de Mayo, and we observe humanity through the lens of the restaurant industry... Light stuff, you know. All while we sip on Hussong's Añejo and snack on Queso con Chorizo.

No. 2 guest in the show, No.1 in our hearts - we welcome Jake Edens from Virtue Wine Cellars in Edmonds. He tells us about the unlikely journey that lead him into the world of wine, we give you our takes on the NBA playoffs, and we pick sides in the Kendrick-Drake beef. Busting out the big dogs on this ep with Jose Cuervo Reserva de la Familia Extra Añejo Tequila and our sizzling Ribeye Fajitas, all before we take Jake out back and jump him into our gang

That’s right, we finally got a guest. Sure he's our dear friend and part of our Edmigos gang... Still counts! Adam Pinkham from Offset Ciderworks joins the show to talk about the early stages of his cider empire and the honor it is to be Ricky and Richard’s homie. All over a delicious glass of Don Julio ’70, taquitos rancheros, and an Offset Pink Guava Mexican 70 cocktail.

A classic Mexican dish brings Richard back to his roots, we finally get an episode in under 30 minutes, and we hype up our next (confirmed) guest. 

Richard shows off his extensive Spanish vocabulary, apparently Trump impressions are back, and we cover a VERY special Karen of the week. All on Tequila Tuesday.

Special episode today! We sip on some Mezcal for Mezcal Monday and Richard tries Mole for the first time. We're also talkin' sports - from the top professional headlines all the way to the glory days...

Busting out some top shelf tequila for all the amazing women in the world on International Women's Day. We cover some staples of Mexican cuisine while going over the musical lies we've been living, how uno is played in the joint, and the hype around Dune 2 (or just the popcorn?).

Rick and Rich wrap up black history month, explore the origins of horchata, storm the capital in our January 6's, and introduce the Karen of the week. All while we sip on Lalo tequila and snack on some esquites.

Get you some R&R! Our first episode where we introduce you to the world of Rick & Rich - from our favorite corner booth.
