Besties, Babbles & BoozeGetting Down to the Brass Tacks....Bachelorette S17 FINALEWell, 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...2021-08-1029 minBesties, Babbles & BoozeOh Greg...WTF! Bachelorette S17ep9Hometowns....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...2021-08-0741 minBesties, Babbles & BoozeIt's Men Tell All time....Bachelorette S17ep8Mallory 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 with Michael...2021-07-3031 minBesties, Babbles & BoozeWe are basically geniuses: Innocence Files Ep2 recapHere 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 season of the show...2021-07-2527 minBesties, Babbles & BoozeFinal four and we are shook...Bachelorette S17ep7Before 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...
OMG! This week was full...2021-07-2453 minBesties, Babbles & BoozeWithhold the Handshake...Bachelorette S17Ep6From 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 handshake".
2021-07-1542 minBesties, Babbles & BoozeBite Marks and Uncle Bunky...The Innocence Files Ep1We 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 to see how the trials play out. It...2021-07-1224 minBesties, Babbles & BoozeCuddling, tears, feels and PBR...Bachelorette S17 E5Mal 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 both...2021-07-0840 minBesties, Babbles & BoozeThomas, Thomas, Thomas...Bachelorette S17Ep4Just 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 of a beginners bourbon if you will. It was a...2021-06-2939 minBesties, Babbles & BoozeFinally catching up...Oh the drama, Oh the tears Bach S17ep3After 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 banter about how someone needs to come up with an...2021-06-2940 minBesties, Babbles & BoozeSpeakeasies, Socks, and Sex Positivity....Bachelorette S17 E2Talking 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 decadent, and came in the most gorgeous...2021-06-1751 minBesties, Babbles & BoozeSo we are podcasting ...: Bachelorette S17 E1Welcome 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. 2021-06-1129 minBesties, Babbles & BoozeHere's to new adventuresEek, 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. 2021-06-1110 min
