Episode 094 | Season 4 Wrap Up with Game – Play Along!

The Boozy Blondes

Holy shots! Can you believe it, lushes? The Boozy Blondes just wrapped up Season 4 of the Boozy Blondes Podcast! Mind blown emoji!

This season was packed with travel, tastings, and so many special guests. The girls are so happy to celebrate another boozy season. They created this podcast to share their travels, drinks, and stories with fellow booze travelers. Four seasons later, they’ve done just that and more! In this episode they reflect on meeting amazing people, learning about beer, wine, and spirits, and sharing adventures across the U.S. and abroad.

The DOE is Champagne, of course! The Boozy Blondes are raising a glass to each other, and to you, in gratitude for joining them these past years on this crazy, and boozy, adventure.

The girls discuss highlights from the season. Molly breaks down her top 4 into different categories:

  1. Most Unexpected Moment (this is a reflection from Season 3 Episode 062 The St. Augustine Craft Brewers Fest –listen here-)
  2. Fan Favorite Guest (spoiler alert, it’s Hard Cider Guy, Adrian Luna! You can hear his 6-pack To Go Episode 084 in Season 4 –listen here– or go way back and hear his initial episode in Season 2, Episode 041 –listen here-!)
  3. Most WTF Moment (Molly is mortified by her screechy voice in Episode 062 6-pack To Go with the Boozy Bros –listen here-)
  4. Biggest Educational Takeaway (Episode 080 6-pack To Go with Jose Hernandez of 4 Ever Acres Kitchen –listen here– has been a resource for tequila buying for Molly)

Chrissy shares her top 4 moments from Season 4 as well:

  1. Italy (From planning to execution, Italy was unforgettable. There are 4 episodes dedicated to Italy, so if you’re planning a trip, the girls hope those episodes are resourceful for you! Her favorite of the four is Episode 087 Wine Tour & Tasting Near Rome with Sally and Guido of Convivo Rome –listen here-)
  2. Washington, DC (This surprise trip left the girls wanting more DC! Check out Episode 078 for tips and tricks of the best places to visit –listen here-)
  3. Disney Drinking (Episode 090 Disney Drinking: Magical Monorail Pub Crawl with the themed outfits and magic of Disney always makes for a great time! –listen here-)
  4. Lebowski’s Kool-Luah (Super fun founders and super fun brand! The girls really enjoyed meeting Dave and Monica Kowalski of Lebowski’s Tap Room in Episode 091 –listen here-)

One special highlight of this episode is the game at the end! If you are familiar with the classic tv game show Password, you’ll have no trouble playing along! The girls bring back the Boozy Bros for an epic battle focused on themes of Season 4 – see how well you do!

As the girls say Arrivederci! to Season 4, they look forward to more boozy adventures in Season 5. None of this would be possible without you loyal lushes, and the girls are forever grateful for your support – without you, they would be two boozy blondes drinking alone in a closet!

Cheers!
