Four Walls Whiskey w/ Casey McGrath

This episode is a "Mini-MasterClass" for the bartenders, servers, and brand developers out there to learn EVERY aspect of creating. "It's Always Sunny" in these Four Walls! Come pound it down (or sip) with the BETTER brown as 86 The Rest welcomes Casey McGrath: the CEO/Co-founder of Four Walls Whiskey! You'll love what @caseytmcgrath has to say about the FOH/BOH workers like us, the passion it takes to build your brand in ANY industry (he's the Creative Director for Kings of Leon BTW), and paying homage to the greatest bars that ever were.  We'll casually name drop Rob, Charlie, and Glenn. Luckily there was JUST enough time to mention Ryan Reynolds & Wrexham A.F.C.  Cheers to the bar, and 86 The Rest!  - Drew

Bet on Your Brand w/ @Moverandshakerco

We repost their stories and share their memes EVERY day. The man behind the most popular, and hilarious, Instagram account for bartenders and servers Nick Hogan of @moverandshakerco joins 86 The Rest!   Nick and I take a deep dive into the origin story of this incredible social media account, how and why he did it, and how to be authentic in the service industry. Come for the legend behind the legends, stay for insightful advice on being the best barback you can be, stay longer for amazing stories but for the genuine reasons why Nick Hogan and I do what we do best.  This is for YOU ALL!

It's a Funny Life

Talented comedian/writer/actress @verygracebahler joins "86 the Rest" to talk all about the comedy and service industry scenes! In Chicago, they overlap and go hand in hand, allowing artists and servers/bartenders to collaborate and support each other. Heartfelt stories, gratitude, and as always...some great laughs. Thank you for GRACING us in this episode. Enjoy!

Work Friends - Real Friends

We all have "work friends" and "real friends." When you work in the service industry, you can't help them blending together. Listen to this HILARIOUSLY awesome episode where my fellow server friend and I talk friendship, St. Patty's, the first "Women's March" Madness, sex stuff, and personal hygiene. There's even a George Clooney and Matt Damon-Chicago story. What more could you ask for?
