J's Cocktail Hour Podcast

Description: Lauren is back, alongside friend of the show (and co-host of the sometimes mentioned, never, ever to be heard 2016 Year in Review Part 2 episode) Jill, to *kind of* talk about the 22 year old coming of age film EMPIRE RECORDS. Why? Well, it's simple really: March 8 is Rex Manning Day (say no more, mon amore)! Two of this week's episodes love the movie, one of them only finds the soundtrack worthwhile, and it's pretty much Producer Dave's favorite film. Oh, before we forget: Jill made homemade whiskey sours, and they were delicious.     Check out all of our other episodes, subscribe, share, & review us on iTunes.  Host - James Thorpey            --    Twitter @jamesthorpey    &    Instagram @jamesthorpey   Guest Host - Lauren              --    Twitter @_laurenenen Guest Host -Jill                     --     ?????

  In which James sits down and talks with his long time pal Mark about a little bit of this, a little bit of that, and a bunch about the independent wrestling world. More importantly, they attempt to really enjoy Ballast Point's Old Grove Gin & Tonic, but the question remains: is there room for grapefruit (greatfruit?) & cucumber in gin & tonics? The short answer? Nope.     Check out all of our other episodes, subscribe, share, & review us on iTunes.  Host - James Thorpey            --    Twitter @jamesthorpey    &    Instagram @jamesthorpey   Guest - Mark Haggerty           --   Twitter @bplusradio , Instagram @bplusradio   and check out B+ Player Radio on iTunes, Tune-In, Stitcher, Sound Cloud, or wherever you get your podcasts Producer - Producer Dave      --     Twitter @producer__dave   Like us on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/cocktailpod/   Follow us on Twiiter - https://twitter.com/CocktailPod   Look at us on the web - http://jcocktailhour.podbean.com/   Tags:  B+ player radio, b+ players, BBWF, BBWF Primetime, independent wrestling, indie wrestling, gin & tonics, ballast point, greatfruit 

Welp, we're nothing if not wildly inconsistent on this podcast, but hey, at least we're back! To celebrate 10 whole episodes of the Cocktail Hour Podcast, we're taking a break from the booze & enjoying a delicious drink from the past: the Shirley Temple. Joining the show today is Mike of Mike's Pop Culture Playhouse. It's a rabbit hole of pop culture nerdery. Movies, video games, tv: you name it, we talk about it...so much in fact that we had to cut the conversation short. Fear not, Mike will certainly be joining us again!       Check out all of our other episodes, subscribe, share, & review us on iTunes.  Host - James Thorpey            --    Twitter @jamesthorpey    &    Instagram @jamesthorpey   Guest - Mike Kenny on Twitter @mikepcplayhouse , Instagram @mikepcplayhouse, and check out www.mikespopculture.com  Producer - Producer Dave      --     Twitter @producer__dave   Like us on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/cocktailpod/   Follow us on Twiiter - https://twitter.com/CocktailPod   Look at us on the web - http://jcocktailhour.podbean.com/   Tags:  Pop culture, mikes pop culture playhouse, b-movies, grindhouse, grindhouse movies, shout factory, 80s tv, 90s tv, 80s movies, 90s movies, Disney, Star Wars

Gird yourself for the most awkward episode yet! James chats with his chum Milan (of Milan & the Sour Goat fame) about a number of things, but mostly, as it often happens, politics...eventually. They are joined by Milan's awesome fiancé Ellen to play some 90's TV Trivia!  Check out all of our other episodes, subscribe, share, & review us on iTunes.  Host - James Thorpey            --    Twitter @jamesthorpey    &    Instagram @jamesthorpey   Guest - Milan             --     Instagram @milanandthesourgoat Producer - Producer Dave      --     Twitter @producer__dave   Like us on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/cocktailpod/   Follow us on Twiiter - https://twitter.com/CocktailPod   Look at us on the web - http://jcocktailhour.podbean.com/   Music by Backyard Superheroes for the end credits used with permission.

In today's episode, we have friend of the show Samantha sitting in the cohost seat. Beers are consumed, games that involve drinking are talked about, the Philly Women's March is briefly discussed, and, somehow, also make-up. Leave a review for us on iTunes. Please. I beg of you.   Follow Us -  Host - James Thorpey            --    Twitter @jamesthorpey    &    Instagram @jamesthorpey   Guest - Samantha Castagna   --    Instagram @Slcastagna29 Producer - Producer Dave      --     Twitter @producer__dave   Like us on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/cocktailpod/   Follow us on Twiiter - https://twitter.com/CocktailPod

Hey kids, today we have very special guest: original cohost Lauren! That's right, L & J reunite for a very special episode in which they voice their concerns about the state of the States. There are so many things to talk about: the Women's March, facts vs "alternative facts" (which are just lies), and when it's okay to punch a certain group of people in the face. Drink along with us by having some White Trash Tropical Sangria - just a little too much mango rum, fill the glass with Tropical Mix Sprite, & top it off with a fistful of Gummi Bears.   Follow Us -  Host - James Thorpey            --    Twitter @jamesthorpey    &    Instagram @jamesthorpey   Guest Host - Lauren              --    Twitter @_laurenenen Producer - Producer Dave      --     Twitter @producer__dave  Like us on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/cocktailpod/   Follow us on Twiiter - https://twitter.com/CocktailPod

Description: We are not back with Part 2 of our year in review because it was just not good, for so many reasons. I do have Producer Dave in the studio today, though, so let's look on the bright side. We talk about podcast production a bit, as well as our favorite ones to listen to, even though they aren't even paying us. Sit back, crack a beer, pour a drink, or guzzle some wine, and enjoy a brand new Cocktail Hour.   Follow Us -  Host - James Thorpey            --    Twitter @jamesthorpey    &    Instagram @jamesthorpey   Guest / Producer - Producer Dave      --     Twitter @producer__dave   Like us on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/cocktailpod/   Follow us on Twiiter - https://twitter.com/CocktailPod

  **IMPORTANT NOTE: due to Lauren's (the L of L & J's Cocktail Hour Podcast) new job, she could no longer commit to being a regular host for the podcast. As such, we are reformatting the show & having a revolving door of guest hosts each episode. Just think of James as the new Kelly Ripa...except for the heels. He just can't pull them off.** Tam Garcia of Garden State Line joins James on the slightly rebooted "J's Cocktail Hour Podcast" to talk about our Top 10 Movies, TV Shows, & Moments of the trash fire that was 2016. One day, Tam will do his homework for his podcast appearances, but today isn't that day. Join us, won't you, and drink along as we look back at the highs of 2016.
