  • National Guitar Day: Iconic Riffs, Dream Guitars & The Songs That Changed Music
    2026/02/12

    This week on Jams ‘N’ Cocktails, Brad Brock cranks up the amps and celebrates National Guitar Day the only way he knows how—loud, nerdy, and with a properly garnished cocktail in hand. Joined by co-host Kevin McLoughlin (and a surprise appearance from Tracy), the crew dives deep into the rich, centuries-long history of the guitar—from ancient Mesopotamian stringed instruments to the electrifying innovations of Les Paul and Leo Fender.

    But this isn’t just a history lesson. Brad and Kevin swap personal stories about their favorite stage guitars, dream instruments, near-miss vintage regrets, and the magic of finding “the one.” They put their ears to the test in a riff-based round of Name That Tune, debate relic guitars vs. earned wear-and-tear, and even squeeze in a spontaneous guitar lesson packed with blues wisdom and practical theory. Whether you're a seasoned player or just love the sound of a screaming Telecaster, this episode hits all the right notes.

  • 'Twas The Night Before Christmas - a JNC Christmas Eve
    2025/12/25

    Christmas Eve at the JNC Lounge is always about connection, laughs, and a little holiday chaos—and this year did not disappoint. I kicked back with the Destruction Crew to celebrate the season the only way we know how: strong drinks, ridiculous games, nonstop banter, and a whole lot of Christmas spirit. From tracking Santa’s global joyride to testing our brains (and mouths) with viral party games, this episode is pure festive fun with just enough heartfelt moments to remind us why we do this every year.
    We mixed up holiday shots, battled through technical gremlins, played a Santa themed round of Name That Tune, dove headfirst into the hilariously unhinged Words on Beat game, and even squeezed in some surprise gifts and seasonal storytelling. We wrapped it all up with our annual reading of ’Twas the Night Before Christmas, because some traditions are sacred—no matter how unhinged the night gets.
