Our good pal Krisi is back to talk about her amazing movie night pop-up, and what it takes to throw a great event. We also chat about parenting and work/life balance.

Long time DJ, production specialist, and all around electronic whiz, Michael Fotias joins us for a chat about how he got his start in the entertainment business, electronic music in Detroit, the Jazz Fest, life during quarantine, and a whole lot more!

Jessica joins us for a chat about friends who become family, and going back to places that welcome you with open arms.

Jessica joins us for a chat about team players, work family, and embarrassing wet t-shirts. We miss working at a well oiled machine kinda place.

My good friend and old co-host Rob Zanni joins us for a chat about how much we miss our jobs, what we’ve been up to, and how to deal with customers soiling themselves in the bar…really.

We chat about the Twisted Tea hero, how much we miss bartending, how to make a bomb ass Sazerac, and much more!

Dave joins Remy and Lauren to chat about favorite holidays drinks, the 2 drink maximum rule at work parties (Don’t get fired on your day off!) and how this years’ celebrations are much different.

Remy and Lauren talk about the lockdown extensions, how our industry is taking all the heat and getting no help. Lauren gets creative with her side hustle, making pornographic ornaments!

Joe and Shane join us to talk about all the events industry folks miss out on. All the family parties, bbq’s, birthdays, basically anything that happens on a Saturday night. Bartenders give up a lot for our jobs, and we do it out of love, but it’s good to find some balance too.
