    Send us a textThis 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.LinksJNC Officialhttps://www.jncpodcast.comSupport us on Patreonhttps://www.patreon.com/jncpodcast

    Send us a textThe JNC crew was back in full force at the legendary JNC Lounge for a night that was equal parts hilarious, nostalgic, and just a little torturous. Host Brad Brock was joined by the ever-fabulous Jordyn Taylor and the one and only Derek Zugel for a raucous JNC Family Game Night — and yes, it was electrifying... literally.Armed with shock collars and a stack of trivia cards, the trio dove headfirst into the chaotic fun of Lyrically Correct — a throwback music trivia game that doesn't ask you to finish the lyrics, but to remember the clever details about them. A wrong answer? ZAP! The night also featured a “Shot of the Week” inspired by Snoop Dogg, a surprise mid-show acoustic concert from Brad, killer cocktail creations in JNC Bargatory, and the return of The Jordy Files for a fresh dose of entertainment news. This one's a wild ride from start to finish — buckle up!LinksJNC Officialhttps://www.jncpodcast.comSupport us on Patreonhttps://www.patreon.com/jncpodcast
