  • The Rise of AI In Music: A Discussion & Experiment
    Jul 31 2025

    In this thought-provoking episode of Jams 'N' Cocktails Live, host Brad Brock is joined by singer-songwriter Kevin McLoughlin, Paul Robertson from the Riffs N Rhythms podcast, and the ever-entertaining JNC Destruction Crew for a lively dive into the complex world of artificial intelligence in music. The conversation kicks off with a toast to technology—literally—with a signature "Artificial Intelligence" cocktail, setting the tone for a deep and entertaining exploration of AI's growing influence on creative fields.

    From the heartwarming story of Randy Travis reclaiming his voice through AI, to the controversial rise of the fully synthetic band Velvet Sundown, the panelists tackle both the promise and peril of machine-made music. Emotions run high as seasoned musicians reflect on what it means for artistry, originality, and the future of live performance. The episode culminates in a live experiment, where the crew collaborates with AI to create a brand-new JNC anthem using Suno, testing just how far the tech can go in crafting a hit.

  • Un-Cancelled: Our Internet is Back & We remember Ozzy Osbourne
    Jul 24 2025

    In this impromptu and heartfelt episode of Jams 'N' Cocktails Live, Brad Brock and the Destruction Crew—Jordyn Taylor & Elly—rise from the ashes of a near-cancellation to deliver an entertaining night packed with surprises. Thanks to an unexpected save by AT&T tech Alex, the crew regains internet just in time to go live. What starts as a casual catch-up quickly turns into an emotional tribute to rock legend Ozzy Osbourne, who passed away at 76 just weeks after his final show. From custom-crafted "Prince of Darkness" cocktails to bat-shaped cookies in Ozzy’s honor, this episode celebrates his legacy in true rock ‘n’ roll fashion.
    The crew also dives into a hilarious mix of storytelling, tech woes, and a nostalgia-fueled trivia game featuring 2000s pop culture. Elly shares her recent health scare (spoiler: she had pneumonia while "swinging weenies"), and the team reflects on stellar customer service, internet outages, and surprisingly touching memories of Ozzy. Plus, they honor AT&T’s Alex as the true MVP of the episode.

  • Swingin' Weenies - A National Hot Dog Day Celebration
    Jul 17 2025

    This week’s Jams ‘N’ Cocktails Live is a full-blown wiener wonderland! In celebration of National Hot Dog Day, Brad Brock and the Destruction Crew throw down the gauntlet with over-the-top hot dog games, kitchen competitions, and the kind of hilarity you only get when wieners are flying across the room. From a parody cooking segment on “Satan’s Grill” to a high-stakes (and highly ridiculous) hot dog Olympics, nothing is off-limits in this wacky tribute to America’s favorite handheld food.

    Get ready for slow-mo hot dog swinging, delicious dog creations from across the country (hello, Seattle-style and Detroit coneys!), a nerdy "Beam Me Up Scotty" shot of the week, and loads of banter from your favorite crew. Plus, Captain Cocktail stirs up a cherry old fashioned and we top things off with “Name That Tune,” the Jordy Files, and a very real discussion on whether a hot dog is a sandwich. Spoiler: no one agrees.

    Jun 12 2025

    Jams 'N' Cocktails is back and better than ever with the highly anticipated Season 10 premiere! Host Brad Brock welcomes fans to a corn-themed kickoff featuring returning guest and fan-favorite, The Ryan Owens. After spending time in New York City, Ryan returns to the Treasure Coast and joins the crew to share stories of city life, personal growth, and rediscovering the charms of home.

    The episode brings plenty of spice, starting with the signature "Ole Smoky Heat Wave" cocktail, a mango habanero whiskey concoction perfect for National Corn on the Cob Day. From there, chaos and comedy reign during the show's first-ever "Hot Corns" Challenge—a fiery interview-meets-hot-sauce game that leaves everyone in tears (and possibly seeking medical attention). There's also brand-new merch, a shout-out to Ocean Republic Brewing as the new keg sponsor, and a few musical performances that bring the house down.
