The Jams 'N' Cocktails Podcast is known for bringing together music, drinks, and fun-filled conversation, and this episode was no exception. Host Brad Brock and the JNC Destruction Crew—Jordyn, Elly, and Derek—kicked back after a jam-packed weekend at ArtsFest in downtown Stuart, Florida, and took listeners on a rollercoaster of entertainment. From recapping their festival experiences to diving into a hilarious game of Incoherent, the night was full of surprises, laughter, and even some heated Super Bowl discussions.
A Weekend of Music & Arts at ArtsFest
Before getting into the games and antics, the crew took a moment to reflect on their time at ArtsFest, an annual festival celebrating visual and performing arts. This marked the third year that JNC had the honor of emceeing the event, and it didn’t disappoint.
The festival was filled with live music, talented high school bands, and incredible community performances. The crew also made some new friends and enjoyed sets from artists like Mike Farout and Katy and Shanice from The Little Things. Brad himself even took the stage, performing between a high-energy steel drum band and another talented act. As always, the event was a great way to showcase local artistry, and the team encouraged listeners to mark their calendars for next year’s festival, which always falls on Super Bowl weekend.
Super Bowl Sunday: More Than Just Football
Of course, no February podcast episode would be complete without talking about the Super Bowl, and the crew had plenty to say. While the game itself was nail-biting, the real highlight for some was the snacks, drinks, and halftime show. Elly confessed to eating six cupcakes, while the rest of the crew indulged in championship-level dips and game-day food.
Elly, a die-hard Eagles fan, came dressed in full Eagles gear and took credit for their victory over the Chiefs, attributing it to her pre-game rituals. The crew humorously debated whether superstition plays a role in sports or if it’s all just good fun.
However, one of the biggest talking points was Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl halftime show. The rapper took the stage with a high-energy, visually stunning performance, bringing out sza and even featuring a surprise cameo by Serena Williams. While some fans raved about his seamless set and powerful messages, others were divided. The JNC team broke down the symbolism, musicality, and hidden details behind the show, proving that even a 12-minute performance can spark major conversations.
Game Time: Trying to Make Sense of “Incoherent”
If there’s one thing the JNC Podcast does well, it’s bringing games to life. The crew played a hilarious round of “Incoherent,” a game where players must decipher a phrase that sounds like gibberish when spoken aloud.
From mispronounced words to completely outlandish guesses, the game quickly devolved into pure chaos and laughter. Some of the funniest moments included phrases like “Let Me Ride You” and “Taking It From Behind,” which left the crew in stitches.
Listeners were encouraged to play along in the live chat, and the results were just as ridiculous. It’s safe to say that this game will make a return in future episodes, given how much fun the group had attempting (and failing) to guess the correct answers.
Music & Mixology: The Mind Eraser Cocktail
No JNC Podcast episode is complete without a signature drink, and this time, the team served up the Mind Eraser, a layered cocktail featuring coffee liqueur, vodka, and club soda. The drink, despite its simplicity, packed a punch—living up to its name.
Derek, known for his love of coffee liqueur, was challenged to chug the entire drink, a dare that the crew and live audience eagerly encouraged. Whether he regretted it later remains a mystery, but the moment certainly added to the night’s shenanigans.
For those wanting to mix along at home, the Mind Eraser recipe and instructions were shared live, with an invitation for listeners to join the crew every Wednesday night at 8:00 PM EST to drink along with them.
Misheard Lyrics & Name That Tune
Another game of the night was Name That Tune: Misheard Lyrics Edition. The crew tackled some of the most famously misheard lyrics in music history, testing their knowledge (and often failing spectacularly).
Some of the night’s highlights included:
🎵 Eurythmics – “Sweet Dreams” (Misheard as: Sweet dreams are made of cheese)
🎸 Led Zeppelin – “Stairway to Heaven” (Misheard as: There’s a wino down the road)
👑 Queen – “We Will Rock You” (Misheard as: Kicking your cat all over the place)
🎹 Elton John – “Tiny Dancer” (Misheard as: Hold me closer, Tony Danza)
🌍 Toto – “Africa” (Misheard as: I left my brains down in Africa)
As always, the JNC audience played along in the comments, and some of their guesses were just as funny as the real misheard lyrics.
Looking Ahead: What’s Next on JNC?
Before wrapping up, Brad teased some exciting upcoming episodes:
🔹 Next week, the crew will celebrate Smokey Robinson’s 85th birthday with a special Motown tribute. Expect a deep dive into Motown history, legendary performances, and the impact of Smokey Robinson on the music industry.
🔹 The following week, they’ll be celebrating Mardi Gras with Lefty Hathaway and a tribute to Dr. John—a show that promises good vibes, great music, and plenty of New Orleans spirit.
🔹 And then, it’s time for Jordyn’s birthday bash, an annual JNC tradition filled with surprises, games, and probably way too many drinks.
Final Thoughts: Another Unforgettable JNC Episode
From festival recaps to football feasts, wild games, and unforgettable music, this episode of the Jams 'N' Cocktails Podcast had something for everyone. The chemistry between Brad, Jordyn, Elly, and Derek was at an all-time high, making for an episode full of laughs, unexpected moments, and insightful discussions.
As always, listeners were encouraged to tune in live every Wednesday at 8:00 PM EST for more cocktails, conversations, and chaos. Whether you're here for the music, the games, or just to hang out with the crew, there's always a seat at the bar for you at JNC.
