ROBIN THORSEN: Well, hello!
Look at who Felicia finally let out of the kitchen.
That's right, it is I, Robin Thorsen.
Though since today's segment is Felicia and I cooking and
decorating, I guess I'm not completely out of the kitchen.
You guys, I'm turning into Felicia Day's Stepford wife.
Or is she turning into mine?
I'd say she's turning into mine.
Good talk.
So I feel that we got all the important stuff out of the
way, Let's move on to our fabulous Trio Mio.
Number one is a wine brand called Stacked.
I found them at a market right next to where
I get my hair did.
It's a totally awesome idea for vino.
See, it looks like a normal bottle of wine, but you take
the packaging off, and it's four individual glasses.
Four.
It's pretty much the best thing ever.
What!
It comes in Merlot, Cabernet, chardonnay, and pinot grigio.
Bottoms up.
Two, more wine, Zombie Zin.
I mean, really, zombies and wine?
Get a grip.
My roomie had a bottle.
I tried it.
It's super good.
There's a badass label on the bottle.
And it's perfect for The Walking Dead drinking games,
like take a sip every time somebody does something so
stupid you want to throw something at the TV, or every
time you see a zombie, or every time there's a line of
dialogue spoken.
The options are endless.
It's really out of control.
Amazon is where you can purchase it or any specialty
store, like Cost Plus.
Drink it, if you dare.
That was cheesy.
Number three is a website called alieandgeorgia.com.
So these tricks had a couple of shows
on the Cooking Channel.
And they made cocktails from scratch.
They dress cute.
And they're totally funny and witty.
And on their website, they have webisodes of them making
fun cocktails, like the Ultimate Bacon cocktail.
What?
Bacon and booze?
Stop it.
Or the Zombie Gut Punch.
Actually, I honestly didn't think that this whole Trio Mio
business would be about zombies and booze, but I'm
just going to go with it.
So Alie and Georgia are totally adorable because they
wear vintage dresses all the time.
And their blog is funny as hell.
Plus, I feel that if met, we'd totally become besties.
And they pretty much have my ultimate dream job, booze and
they're adorable.
So, that's me.
Number four.
What?
No, three because trio means three.
Right, I get it.
But we're going to be four, because I just
want to and I'm hosting.
So number four is the "Jeff Lewis 5-Minute Comedy Hour."
Do I really need to say anything?
It's Jeff Lewis.
He's a riot.
It's his hour.
See what I did there?
No.
The show's hilarious.
Plus, as an added bonus, I'm in an episode in each season.
So if you haven't checked it out, go watch it.
Watch it after you watch me doing this
episode, because if you--
and then you can watch me do--
Number five is zombies and wine and wine and zombies.
Here's the segment.
OK, clearly my hair's a different color.
But go with it.
We filmed it a while back.
It doesn't matter.
Just watch it.
You're going to like it.
I didn't take the thing off all the way.
Enjoy.
BOTH: Happy holidays!
FELICIA DAY: We are very excited to do a holiday baking
Cooking with Robin segment.
We're going to be making my favorite thing
ever, a Buche de Noel.
It's French.
Buche.
ROBIN THORSEN: Buche.
FELICIA DAY: I have a pitch for you, Robin, to make this a
special Buche de Noel.
ROBIN THORSEN: All right.
Let's hear it.
FELICIA DAY: You excited?
ROBIN THORSEN: I can't wait.
"Massacre on Log Mountain."
FELICIA DAY: OK?
Benedict is jealous of Quentin.
He got seniority up at Santa's Playhouse.
Basically this is what happens.
ROBIN THORSEN: I think we should just make our own, go
the traditional route, right?
FELICIA DAY: "Massacre on Log Mountain."
ROBIN THORSEN: Well, when you put it that way.
FELICIA DAY: By the way, I am taking all these recipes from
a really cool blog named Joe Pastry.
He has a very pretty Buche de Noel there.
ROBIN THORSEN: I saw it.
FELICIA DAY: You can follow it step by step.
I pre-made most of the ingredients, because the fun
of this is assembling the ingredients.
So the first thing we're going to do is we're going to take
the buttercream.
And we're going to spread a very thin layer on this.
So we don't have to look at it.
ROBIN THORSEN: It looks great.
It's just a little stiff.
FELICIA DAY: You're a little stiff.
Hey.
ROBIN THORSEN: No.
Teamwork.
FELICIA DAY: I don't know, guys.
So now we're going to roll.
ROBIN THORSEN: OK.
FELICIA DAY: Rock and roll.
We're rolling, we're rolling.
ROBIN THORSEN: We're rolling.
FELICIA DAY: Oh, wow, look at this.
ROBIN THORSEN: What is it?
FELICIA DAY: It probably needs some more
buttercream, you think?
So we're going to do this, and we're going to squeeze our
buttercream.
And we put it in the butt.
So we're going to cut our piece of the log off and make
it a branch.
Look at that!
ROBIN THORSEN: Wow I can already tell.
FELICIA DAY: You can already see where I'm going.
ROBIN THORSEN: That's nice.
Yeah.
FELICIA DAY: Next step.
We're going to take the--
ROBIN THORSEN: Ganache.
FELICIA DAY: God, there's so many G words.
ROBIN THORSEN: Smells like--
It smells good.
I was going to say sugar.
[MUSIC PLAYING - "JINGLE BELLS"]
FELICIA DAY: I think that might have been harder than it
should have been.
Who knows?
We're done with it now.
Mushroom time!
ROBIN THORSEN: Mushroom time.
FELICIA DAY: So you can have your little caps.
Put that right there.
One right there is good.
Oh, no.
Next step, we're going to do marzipan!
Just decorate at will.
This is your personal expression right now.
ROBIN THORSEN: Decorate at will.
You sounded like that.
FELICIA DAY: You are the--
Why would you make fun of me like that?
I was being excited.
ROBIN THORSEN: Sorry.
FELICIA DAY: Your leaves look like [BLEEP].
ROBIN THORSEN: Or maybe he could be holding, instead of
an axe, a candy cane.
FELICIA DAY: Why would they be on a log with a candy cane?
That's the whole point of "Massacre on Log Mountain." We
could sell this.
Where would we sell it?
ROBIN THORSEN: Let's just do the--
FELICIA DAY: This part is where most people would end.
We're going to make elves.
ROBIN THORSEN: Now I'm just wondering, what made you think
of this death and destruction concept?
FELICIA DAY: It just seemed natural.
ROBIN THORSEN: OK.
FELICIA DAY: Well he's going to have blood all
over his face any--
ROBIN THORSEN: All right.
FELICIA DAY: Do you really don't want to do it?
ROBIN THORSEN: I don't know.
I just think--
Well, let's continue with it.
FELICIA DAY: OK.
As my Christmas present to you, maybe we'll just make
normal elves.
But we have to make elves.
ROBIN THORSEN: All right.
OK.
FELICIA DAY: Make whatever you want.
You can make a tree.
You could make little Christmas trees.
ROBIN THORSEN: Fun.
FELICIA DAY: We're going to make elves who are chopping
the yule log.
And we're doing it.
ROBIN THORSEN: Chopping the yule log?
FELICIA DAY: They're going to chop something.
ROBIN THORSEN: All right.
FELICIA DAY: That's all right.
He's going to be laying on the ground.
ROBIN THORSEN: Why?
Because he fell?
FELICIA DAY: Yeah, he accidentally fell.
Look at that!
ROBIN THORSEN: [INAUDIBLE].
I don't know why he's going like this.
He's like raising his hand.
FELICIA DAY: He's saying, no, don't chop my face.
ROBIN THORSEN: Yeah.
There we go.
FELICIA DAY: Sprinkle?
ROBIN THORSEN: Yeah.
FELICIA DAY: A little bit, like so.
Are you ready for the prequel to "Massacre on Log Mountain?"
ROBIN THORSEN: Ta-dah!
FELICIA DAY: Yay!
So, basically, this is the scene before the poster.
ROBIN THORSEN: Yeah, he's just taking a snooze.
And your guy is creeping up.
FELICIA DAY: OK, so this is right before he
cuts his arm off.
I'm cool with that.
ROBIN THORSEN: That's good.
FELICIA DAY: All right, I hope you guys enjoyed this festive
Flog episode segment.
If you make your own yule log, or Buche de Noel, I would love
to see pictures of it.
Because I know you guys' imagination can go as
wild as mine can.
Bartholomew and Quentin, give me some back
story for these guys.
ROBIN THORSEN: Yeah.
FELICIA DAY: Because this did happen.
We just don't know how.
Happy holidays!
Bye!
ROBIN THORSEN: Whoa, those elves can look like zombies.
That's crazy.
It's full circle action.
OK, so this week's question of note comes from Duncan who
asks, who would you rather fight: Mr. Miyagi or Yoda?
Holy crap.
Dear Duncan, It sucks that I have to fight
either one of them.
I mean, let's look at the obvious reasons why.
They're both adorable.
They can both throw down.
And they both took a whiny irritating kid and turned him
into a mega-badass.
I might be giving Daniel LaRusso too much credit there.
I mean, at least by "Return of the Jedi," Luke was a mo-fo.
Daniel was still whining and getting his ass kicked by
"Karate Kid 3." Oh, hold on.
I totally forgot your question.
Oh, right.
My answer is both.
Bring them the hell on.
Lovingly, Robin.
So there you go.
Who would you guys fight?
There's no paper in there.
I totally--
I'm going to email it to you.
Comment below.

Geek and Sundry.
It's been real.
Let's do this again.
Happy holidays from me to you, from my wine glass to yours.
That was good.
Bye!
OK.
I'm pretty--
I'm pretty loaded, guys.
