Jams 'N' Cocktails

The Jams ‘N’ Cocktails crew wraps up Season 9 with a finale that's equal parts hilarious and horrifying! Host Brad Brock, along with Captain Cocktail Derek Zugel and the ever-fearless Elly, dive headfirst into one of their messiest (and cringiest) food challenges yet. From scorpions and mealworms to Jurassic-level spicy jerky, this episode pulls no punches as the team faces off against bizarre snacks and serious heat—all while keeping the laughs rolling. Of course, it wouldn’t be a JNC episode without a signature drink, and this week’s star is the Dr Pepper Old-Fashioned—a playful twist on the classic cocktail that blends nostalgia with serious mixology chops. Plus, Brad shares behind-the-scenes stories, live music exclusives, and plenty of interactive fun with their vibrant live audience.

What happens when red carpets and recording studios aren’t enough? In this episode of Jams 'N' Cocktails, host Brad Brock launches into a hilarious and surprisingly heartfelt discussion about celebrities going to space. From Katy Perry’s emotional Blue Origin flight to William Shatner’s reflective journey as Captain Kirk made real, we unpack who’s flown, who’s booked, and who backed out—plus all the drama and debate that follows. Also hanging in the JNC Lounge is the ever-enchanting Jordyn Taylor as we break down the praise, the pushback, and whether sending pop stars into orbit is a bold leap for mankind or just a billionaire-powered photo op. We sip our Major Tom Collins (yes, a space-themed cocktail!) and dive into the weird, wild world of celebrity space tourism, public reaction, and the future of space travel. Spoiler alert: Jordyn has thoughts. Oh, and yes—we play “Name That Tune: Out of This World Edition” too. Buckle up!

Your host Brad Brock is back in the JNC Lounge with the ever-delightful Jordyn Taylor for a truly nostalgic and hilarious ride through the unexpected comeback stories of some of our favorite songs. In this episode, we're talking about those hidden musical gems and forgotten hits that found second lives years—sometimes decades—after their original release... thanks to none other than TikTok. From Fleetwood Mac’s “Dreams” riding a skateboard with cranberry juice to Kate Bush’s dramatic return via Stranger Things, we're diving into the TikTok time warp that’s resurrecting B-sides, indie anthems, and underrated bops. We also chat about viral AI-generated action figures (yes, including butt plugs), taste-test the Pink Pony Pop cocktail, and bring you live music, entertainment headlines in The Jordy Files, a throwback edition of Name That Tune, and our signature Midweek Motivation. Trust us—this one’s jam-packed (pun intended) with fun, laughs, and earworms!

This week on Jams 'N' Cocktails, we’re diving into the haunting and heartbreaking side of the music world. In honor of the anniversary of Marvin Gaye's tragic death, we’re taking a step back from our usual laughs and libations to pay tribute to the voices silenced by violence. From soul legends to hip-hop icons, we reflect on the lives and legacies of artists whose music shaped generations—yet whose stories ended in tragedy. But it’s not all heavy—we kick things off with a sweet (and slightly dangerous) viral shot of the week featuring Werther’s Originals vodka infusions, sip on boozy creations with Captain Cocktail (Derek), and get caught up on the latest in entertainment with Jordyn in the Jordy Files. We also tackle a deeply personal Midweek Motivation segment on living with social anxiety—even as a performer. And in the second half, we get a special surprise visit from the one and only Elly, who jumps into the mix just in time for cocktails, games, and good vibes.
