The Delicious Beverage Podcast

This year will go down as the year I graduated law school, took the bar, moved to Boston, and binged the entire Vampire Diaries and the spinoff! From Italian sparkling white wine to energy drinks to earl grey, this episode is packed with stories! I hope you enjoy my recap and know that I am thankful for my family, friends, guests, and listeners! Cheers to a great 2023!!!

Like me, you could not get enough of Chris yesterday... so you returned for a part 2! Dare I say part 2 is better than part 1? If you judge podcasts on the ability to rate early 2000's penguin movies, then yes! 

You cannot finish this episode without laughing, smiling, or thinking it brightened your day! I sure of it! My newest friend of law school (unfortunately as I finish) shares his inventions, stories, and larger questions... "what animal represents beverages?" We create the plot line of a movie, TV show, and commercial! Come back for part 2 tomorrow!I promise this is not an advertisement for Monster Energy! In fact, we want you to sign the petition to help Chris bring his favorite drink, the original Monster Assault: https://www.change.org/p/monster-energy-monster-energy-to-return-the-original-assault-energy-flavor-back-to-what-it-was

A sick host, plus a guest in a bathrobe, over zoom, equals a crazy podcast. Multiple times mayonnaise milkshakes, fighting in the parking lot, and insane professors were mentioned. Through the coughing (mostly deleted) you will laugh the banter between two friends while we take away Jamey's "Southern Card." Listen now to hear how Jamey pranked her mom in the same way her "Ultimate Beverage" (and her attempt at the game) was anticlimactic! 

Hollie brings her bright, kind, and funny spirit to this episode filled with new questions! She talks New York, Taylor Swift, 90's, and more! This is the second time in this podcast's short history that you've learned the name of my guest's cat! Grab your 'crispy boy' (don't worry Hollie tells you and me what that is) and enjoy this podcast!

I sit down with Rebecca to discuss her favorite drinks! She talks about her ability to distinguish lemon and lime, party planning, tea parties with her grandmother, my graduation party, Dr. Pepper, and more. PLUS she shakes the foundation of the podcast: Is a Jello Shot a beverage?Canadian Dr.Pepper Article: https://www.ckbw.ca/2021/09/13/what-does-dr-pepper-pop-taste-like/ 

Tara joins me to talk about growing up in Michigan, the Flint Water Crisis, her parents, working at a cat cafe, and tips and tricks to having the best Disney experience! We also have the first ever Delicious Beverage Podcast live taste test. Tara brought me the Michigan's "pop" or soda: Faygo!

Last week I introduced you to Baylee to learn about the purple worm, kombucha from a stranger, how marketing and branding impact the beverages we consume and this week Baylee discusses his day in the life, more beverage memories, plays the game, and tells us his (surprising) ultimate beverage!

In this episode you meet someone who might be more passionate about beverages than the host. This episode introduces you to the person from the trailer: Baylee Bunyard. Baylee has so many great stories that he gets this week's and next week's podcast! Listen this week for Baylee's setting, what drink he would name after himself, and his choice of sparkling or still. Tune in next week for part two of this podcast!It might feel like an advertisement, but this podcast is not sponsored by any of the brands Baylee and I mention. Anyway, here's a list: Athletic Greens, Topo Chico, Liquid Death, Ultima, LMNT, and Lucky Jacks. As well as the Boxcar in Gainesville, Sonic, and Starbucks.Can't wait for next week!
