Getting Down to the Brass Tacks....Bachelorette S17 FINALE
August 10, 2021 14:12 - 29 minutes - 27.3 MBWell, it's all wrapped up and over. What a season! This has been one of Mallory and I's favorite runs of this show in quite some time. Twists, turns, great contestants, good lead. We are thrilled that Katie got her man in the end. Honestly though, we really were just excited to watch all the Greg drama. I mean.....c'mon, Queen Katie went off on him. Though she probably could've held back a teensy bit, she did make super valid points. And I think we all agree that something was weird ...
Oh Greg...WTF! Bachelorette S17ep9
August 07, 2021 00:57 - 41 minutes - 38 MBHometowns....blah blah blah, what can we say right. Katie meets the family's, they do mock hometowns, all the guys are struggling with should I or shouldn't I say I love you. Same old stuff, different day. EXCEPT dear old sad puppy dog Greg. Listen to Mal and I react to Greg's (what we think at least) huger overreaction. I guess when the going gets tough, Greg plays the blame game and runs. Us ladies were not here for it. We get what he was trying to say, but that could have been hand...
It's Men Tell All time....Bachelorette S17ep8
July 30, 2021 01:01 - 31 minutes - 29.5 MBMallory and I can't even believe we are here! This season has completely blown by and we have loved every minute...well almost every minute. Before we dig in, let's chat about our cocktail of the week...the all new Tanqueray Sevilla Orange mixed with some Fever Tree soda water . We are both gin girls, so it was great finding a fun new summer spin on our classic fave. It was soft, summery, and perfect for sipping out on Mal's patio. This weeks episode started with some tears and drama ...
We are basically geniuses: Innocence Files Ep2 recap
July 25, 2021 16:00 - 27 minutes - 25 MBHere we are breaking down episode two of the Netflix docu-series, The Innocence Files. This episode will for sure get you a bit teary eyed, so be prepared. Mallory and I also figure out, that from episode 1 to episode 2....we predicted a ton of what was going to happen. I'm sure a police department will be calling us soon for detective positions. We did both agree that we will be binging the next few episodes, because it's just too good, and then posting as one final podcast for this s...
Final four and we are shook...Bachelorette S17ep7
July 24, 2021 01:57 - 53 minutes - 49.8 MBBefore we sat down to recap this episode, us ladies went the The Laundry in Fenton, MI to enjoy some Christmas in July by indulging in their "Bad Santa" cocktail. Normally this is a once per year drink offering, but due to being shut down for COVID-19 all winter, the fine folks at The Laundry decided it would be fun to bring back this summer. Buffalo Trace bourbon, cranberry-hibiscus syrup, lime, and rosemary all make us gals dream of sugarplums and winter nights. Now onto the episode.....
Withhold the Handshake...Bachelorette S17Ep6
July 15, 2021 12:00 - 42 minutes - 39.5 MBFrom crazy weird challenges, to 5 men going home this week....we felt like this episode would be way more interesting than it really was. I guess we were just looking for the drama, and everything was pretty tame-ish. Is it just Mal and I, or are the men really in their feels this season?! We love it though, and it's refreshing to see some emotion from the guys. Also....we would love someone to go through and actually count all the names that Connor came up with for "withholding the ha...
Bite Marks and Uncle Bunky...The Innocence Files Ep1
July 12, 2021 15:34 - 24 minutes - 22.6 MBWe just started a new Docu-series on Netflix called The Innocence Files. We needed a bit of a break from all things Bachelorette, and wanted to dig into something a bit more real. Gotta break it up a bit. The show is based on a non-profit organization called The Innocence Project, that helps try and free convicted felons from crimes they didn't commit. Disclaimer**This show is very heavy and talks about sex crimes and crimes against children, so be prepared** It will be very interesting ...
Cuddling, tears, feels and PBR...Bachelorette S17 E5
July 08, 2021 21:57 - 40 minutes - 37.7 MBMal and I are back after taking some time off for the 4th of July. Hear us chat about our vacays, and breakdown this weeks bachelorette episode. Conner is busting out of his shirt again and cuddling up with Greg, while Michael A leaves no dry eye in the house. We love how this week, we finally get a traditional bachelorette episode....I think they brought back the rose ceremony at the end just for us. This week our booze of choice was Pabst Blue Ribbon's hard coffee line. We tried bot...
Thomas, Thomas, Thomas...Bachelorette S17Ep4
June 29, 2021 03:24 - 39 minutes - 36.5 MBJust finished watching live and wow, could there BE any more drama with Thomas....ugh, we may be over it. Tonight we are drinking the new Brothers Bond Bourbon. If you have ever watched the Vampire Diaries, then you definitely should find yourself a bottle, because it was created by the handsome Salvatore Brothers ( otherwise known as Ian Somerhalder and Paul Wesley). This bourbon has a lower proof as far as bourbons go, so it doesn't have that intense burn. It's soft, drinkable, and kind...
Finally catching up...Oh the drama, Oh the tears Bach S17ep3
June 29, 2021 03:13 - 40 minutes - 37.6 MBAfter a little hiatus, us gals are finally back recording. Thanks for your patience, but whew was it a crazy two weeks. We are extremely happy to get back to the podcast though. During our Episode 3 breakdown, we are enjoying a passionfruit and elderflower hard seltzer by Flying Embers. The packaging was gorg, the seltzer drank like a champagne, and it also has probiotics/vitamin C/and antioxidants...its basically healthy booze haha. We both absolutely loved it. Tune in to hear our ban...
Speakeasies, Socks, and Sex Positivity....Bachelorette S17 E2
June 17, 2021 19:16 - 51 minutes - 47.7 MBTalking about episode two of Katie's season. Let the group dates begin, and the drama & sparks start to fly. But before recording todays episode Mal and I decided to take a trip over to our favorite local speakeasy. If you love boozy drinks, secret doors, and kick ass service, you definitely should check out Relief and Resource in Fenton MI. Mal had a "Master of Reality", which was loaded with rye, Irish whiskey and Cognac...with touches of fig and lemon. This one was STRONG but decaden...
So we are podcasting ...: Bachelorette S17 E1
June 11, 2021 00:02 - 29 minutes - 27.6 MBWelcome welcome! This is our first breakdown of the Bachelorette. Super raw, unrehearsed, and a few real life dog momma moments (We love you Penny!) Reviewing the first episode of Katie's season of the Bachelorette. These are just our opinions, and it is all just for fun. Todays drink was a Sparkling Pinot Grigio from the 2Lads Winery in Old Mission Peninsula, Michigan, and we LOVED it to kick off the start of our podcast and the start of Katies season.
Here's to new adventures
June 10, 2021 22:33 - 10 minutes - 9.52 MBEek, we started a podcast! Here is a little background info of who we are, what we are about, and why we are doing this whole podcast thing. We are excited for this new adventure and cannot wait for you to follow along. Today we are drinking a Watermelon Margarita whipped up by Mal, consisting of equal parts 1800 Ultimate Margarita Ready to Serve Watermelon and Master of Mixers Handcrafted Margarita mixer...add a few limes and ice. OMG delicious.
