A perfect blend of Cocktails, Comedy, and Conversation; with Jared Butler and Chris Conroy

Jan 10, 2018

After a long, sober hiatus, Jared and Connie stagger back to the bar to share their thoughts on the latest installment of the Star Wars franchise: The Last Jedi. Writer/Director Jay Lender (Phineas and Ferb, They’re Watching) returns to join the guys for a lively debate, one or two Hot Buttered Rums, and a few tumblers of Jared’s Star Wars-inspired cocktail, the Blue Milk of Tatooine.

Are Porgs the new white meat? What was that thing Luke milked? What if they filmed a chase sequence with a bunch of space ships stuck in cruise control?

Spoilers lie ahead, so be warned.

We're back! Jared and Connie return with a couple of cocktail recipes especially for formal occasions. Hear all about the Wastelander's Ball (a post-apocalyptic formal dance), find out how Twitter put Connie in the news for a few days, and pour out ten percent for the music legend whose funeral Jared crashed.

You'll also learn how to mix yourself a Java Punch and a Sidecar. Fill your favorite glass, grab some mixed nuts, and settle in for Happy Hour with Jared, Connie, and Ginger Fizz!

Happy New Year, everybody! Jared and Connie mix up a few Champagne cocktails - the St-Honore 75 and the Black Pearl - and throw down in another Drunken Debate.

Who would be the ultimate dream band to play your New Year's Eve party? And, perhaps more importantly, who'd be their manager?

Listen in on Jared and Connie's picks and decide who's got the better band - or who's the bigger idiot for not picking your favorite rock star.
