Alphas Make Sandwiches Ep. 36: Hair Hacks, Idioms, and History with a Twist

Ashe in America, Abbey Blue Eyes, Christy Lupo, and Jackie Espada bring another lively episode of Alphas Make Sandwiches. The ladies kick things off with playful banter about building a Badlands compound before diving into skincare tips, including lotion, deodorant, and the tallow bar, with fun hacks like using it to tame flyaway hair. They showcase their latest photo challenge and introduce next week’s “fun with food” theme, all while laughing about behind-the-scenes antics. The conversation shifts to All Good’s No Tox Smoothing Serum, complete with personal testimonies, before moving into the idiom of the week, “turn a blind eye,” and its naval origins with Admiral Horatio Nelson. History lessons cover Eisenhower’s education act, the first U.S. flag flown in battle, NASA’s Viking 2 Mars landing, Truman’s first coast-to-coast TV broadcast, and early submarine warfare with the Turtle. They also discuss the origins of Uncle Sam, McKinley’s assassination, and Codex 9/11, setting the stage for upcoming watch parties. Rounding things out are critiques of Jane Fonda’s Vietnam-era betrayal, Gerald Ford’s pardon of Nixon, and more sponsor shoutouts, blending humor, history, and heart.
