THE SIP with Ryland Adams and Lizzie Gordon

Episode: Tasting The MARTHA STEWART CRUMBL Collab With Shane and Spencer!!

Released: November 5, 2025
Theme: Pop culture chat, parenting chaos, and a taste test of Halloween fast food — with trademark irreverent humor and unfiltered banter.

OVERVIEW

This lively episode of The Sip is less about Martha Stewart or the Crumbl cookie collab and more about chaotic fall energy, family woes, pop culture debates, and a fast food Halloween menu review. Ryland, Lizzy, and Chris oscillate between hilarious anecdotes about parenting, intense discussions of seasonal holidays, and a group food review, all peppered with classic Sip cynicism, random tangents, and behind-the-scenes podcast drama.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS

1. Three Blind Moose & Halloween Costumes

(00:34-03:18)

• The hosts appear in a group costume, "Three Blind Moose", riffing on a prior inside joke about Chris confusing "moose" and "mouse".

  • Ryland: “Except because—if you remember from Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader?” [00:56]
  • They reminisce about past on-air confusion over plurals and spelling, keeping the tone self-deprecating and fun.

2. Parenting Disasters & Apple Tart Betrayal

(04:22-13:38)

• Ryland details the chaos of preparing food while parenting (onion vapors, sick toddler Billy, and a now-legendary family “vomit bucket”—the Taylor Swift ERAS tour popcorn tub).
• Lizzy recounts her “apple tart betrayal”, discovering her husband snuck a tart without her:
  • Ryland (on discovering the discarded wrapper): “As though I was expected to clean up his … blankets after he slept with another woman in our house.” [12:34]
• Hilarious, melodramatic analogy of skipping their nightly treat to marital infidelity.

3. Chris, Concerts, and (Alleged) Drugs

(14:31-16:54)

• Chris gets grilled for constantly attending concerts, leading to playful accusations:
  • Ryland: “Are you on drugs? Are you on cocaine?” [14:45]
  • Lizzy quips about “coke dick” and concert energy, before the trio pivots to a serious (if still funny) talk about club drug use.

4. Stolen Passport: Karma or Luck?

(17:04-18:33)

• Chris shares about his mom’s passport being stolen in Italy—rescued miraculously by the police. Lizzy and Ryland react with disbelief and joking envy at their own misfortunes.

5. Holiday-Wrapping Anxiety: When to Stop Celebrating Halloween?

(19:33-21:07)

• The perennial debate: When Halloween falls on a Friday, is it “over” on Saturday, or do you keep celebrating?
  • Lizzy: “November 1st is the end. The end.” [20:44]
  • Ryland: “Thanksgiving. Let’s get grateful, bitches.” [20:46]

6. Invited to KROQ: Podcast Drama

(22:08-27:13)

• The hosts react to being invited (maybe?) to appear on LA’s iconic KROQ.
  • Planning logistics leads to absurdly elaborate scheduling talk, costume brainstorming, and more self-drag for being bad at communication and handling email.
  • Chris confesses to being a longtime “Kevin & Bean” fan.
  • The group weighs the pros and cons of doing live radio—main worry? Cussing too much.

7. Accidentally ‘Karening’ a Fan

(27:58-30:44)

• Lizzy tells how she lost her temper with a True Green lawn service rep—only to realize, mid-call, she was speaking to a fan.
  • Ryland: “Recognize you? Yeah. Oh.” [29:34]
  • Followed by self-deprecating humor about “gay rage” and TikTok-ready outbursts.

8. Lizzy’s Acting Bootcamp & The Meisner Deep Dive

(30:44-39:17)

• Lizzy describes her intense prep for Shane’s pilot: buying a Masterclass subscription, taking notes from Tom Hanks and Viola Davis, repeating lines, and drilling the Meisner technique.
• The crew debates repetition in acting, “honest” performance, and the anxieties of memorizing lines.
  • Notable: Ryland shares his own acting training, emphasizing responsive, “live” acting over over-preparation. Lizzy: “If it feels natural to them in that moment...that’s what always differentiates actors.” [34:19–34:54]

9. Food & Drink Guilt and Motherhood Realities

(40:01-43:40)

• The hosts riff on the etiquette of bringing food to colleagues and the exhaustion of mothers always sharing food:
  • Ryland: “Sometimes I just want to get my own food and not have it taken from me.” [42:33]
• The crew finds common ground in not owing each other breakfast and the realities of young kids always stealing your snacks and water.

10. Game Time: Boo or Boo-Hoo? Halloween Hot Takes

(44:20-59:11)

• Chris moderates a ChatGPT-generated segment where the group debates seasonal hot topics:
  • Is Halloween better than Christmas? (Ryland & Chris: Yes; Lizzy: “I am surrounded by sick people.” [46:43])
  • Hocus Pocus rewatches, candy corn (controversial!), pet costumes, graveyard front lawns, and true crime obsession.
  • Contentious highlight: Adult trick-or-treaters. “Over 14, it’s too much!” [55:40]
  • Pumpkin spice: “Tastes like farts.” —Ryland [58:51]
• Segue to carving pumpkins (“It brings people together!” [59:28]), and Halloween family matching costumes.

11. Major Tangent: Love Is Blind Recap (SPOILERS)

(61:10-70:10)

• Ryland gives an unfiltered (and spoiler-heavy) rundown of the latest Love is Blind season, venting about emotionally unhealthy men, red flag behaviors, and defending “Sparkle Megan.”
  • “Edmund saying that his gal made him a better man is toxic.” [63:45]
  • “Anton is the worst.” [64:12]

TASTE TEST SEGMENT: “Halloween at Burger King”

(70:26–95:12)

• After abandoning the original Crumbl Cookie plan (the Halloween flavors weren’t exciting), the group shift focus to the Burger King Halloween specials: Vampire nuggets, jalapeño cheddar bites, Jack-O-Lantern Whopper, mummy mozzarella fries, and the “Franken Candy Sundae” (which required two attempts and multiple fast-food stops to acquire).

Notable Moments:

• Drive-thru Struggles:

  • Repeatedly running into sold-out specialty items and malfunctioning drive-thrus.
    • Lizzy: “I don’t think you’re going to get into that line from over here...” [71:45]
    • Ryland (on missing out on buckets and sundaes): “What are we even doing here?” [75:39]

• Food Review—Candid Thoughts:

  • Presentation: Positive for the “bat-shaped” nuggets, cute coffin/casket box.
  • Taste: Chicken nuggets dry and sad; jalapeño bites are the winner.
    • “This is the driest, saddest looking chicken I’ve ever seen.” —Chris [82:21]
    • “I like the jalapeño cheddar bites better than mozzarella sticks.” —Lizzy [85:10]
  • Whopper: Meh, too smoky; Wendy’s preferred.
    • “Burger King’s burger is my least favorite fast-food burger.” —Chris [86:41]
  • Soft Serve: The “Franken Candy Sundae” is cute, but lacks the supposed candy topping and is just purple-streaked Oreo soft serve.
    • “It’s just dyes.” —Ryland [92:49]

Final Takeaway:

• BK Halloween menu gets marks for presentation and effort, but execution falls short—either sold out or not as special as advertised. Jalapeño cheddar bites and the chicken sandwich are standouts; the Whopper remains divisive.

MEMORABLE QUOTES & TIME STAMPS

• “As though I was expected to clean up his … blankets after he slept with another woman in our house.” —Ryland, on finding her husband’s late night snack remains [12:34]
• “Are you on drugs? Are you on cocaine?” —Ryland to Chris, about concert habit [14:45]
• “November 1st is the end. The end.” —Lizzy [20:44]
• “I never ask all my coworkers what they want.” —Lizzy, on breakfast [40:52]
• “Tastes like farts.” —Ryland, on pumpkin spice [58:51]
• “This is the driest, saddest looking chicken I’ve ever seen.” —Chris [82:21]
• “Burger King’s burger is my least favorite fast-food burger.” —Chris [86:41]

• Comfortably confessional but always jokes at the ready.

FINAL VERDICT

This episode is classic Sip: messy, side-tracked, and addictively entertaining. The promised Martha Stewart/Crumbl collab review is essentially a misdirect, with Burger King’s Halloween menu taking center stage. Between exasperated fast-food runs, pop culture dragging, and heartfelt-yet-funny dives into parenting and creative work, Ryland, Lizzy, and Chris deliver the signature unfiltered chaos their listeners have come to love.
