Fully Aligned

Today we look back at some of our favorite moments from all 3 seasons of Fully Aligned. Will Hannah finally get a nickname? Do we remember all of the drunk shit we did over the years? There's only one way to find out: with the longest episode of Fully Aligned ever!

In the penultimate episode of Fully Aligned we talk with the Woman, the Myth, the Legend: Rocci Johnson. We discuss how she got her start in the music biz, how the marriage between Humpin' Hannah's and the Rocci Johnson band came to be, her work with non-profits and things get steamier than ever before.  Enjoy it while it lasts!

We keep the party rolling with Sales Rep, Emily Palmer and do a Hard Seltzer blind taste test. Can she sniff out the Budweiser from the rest? Will she try her first Coors unknowingly? Find out which Hard Seltzer reigns supreme! 

This week we dive further into Hanna California's big move to LA and ask her the tough questions about becoming a So Cal local. We couldn't do a Boise trip without interviewing one of our longest standing Sales Rep and the Queen of the Idaho beer scene, Emily Palmer! We dive into her background, if she can even remember drinking a Coors Light, and discuss the importance of being a part of "The Family".
