The latest episode of Jams 'N' Cocktails TV was a testament to the idea that some of the best nights are those filled with laughter, camaraderie, and a bit of friendly competition. After a few hectic weeks, the JNC crew decided to take a break and settle in for a fun-filled game night featuring one of their all-time favorite games: Pictionary.
This episode wasn’t just about playing games—it was a perfect mix of playful banter, shared stories, and exciting updates. Whether you’re a longtime fan or a new listener, this episode offers something for everyone. Let’s dive into the highlights and see what made this night so memorable.
The Setup: Game Night Begins
After a whirlwind of busy weeks, it was time for the JNC crew to slow things down and enjoy a classic game night. Host Brad Brock kicked off the episode with a warm welcome to the live viewers and listeners, introducing the JNC Destruction Crew: Jordyn, Elly, and Derek. With drinks in hand and a spirit of fun in the air, the crew launched into what would become an evening filled with hilarious drawings, wild guesses, and plenty of laughter.
Pictionary is one of those games that everyone knows and loves, but that doesn’t make it any easier—especially when the pressure is on. The stakes were high as the crew divided into teams, with Brad and Jordyn on one side, and Elly and Derek on the other. The challenge was to see who could guess the most ridiculous (and sometimes nearly incomprehensible) drawings within the time limit. Spoiler alert: the competition was fierce from the start!
Round One: The Laughter Begins
The first round of Pictionary set the tone for the evening. From questionable stick figures to abstract interpretations of everyday objects, the drawings were as diverse as they were comical. The crew wasted no time in teasing each other about their artistic skills—or lack thereof. Jordyn’s attempt to draw “fur” had everyone in stitches, while Brad’s efforts to depict a “beehive” left much to the imagination.
But it wasn’t just the drawings that sparked laughter. The guessing was equally wild, with team members shouting out the most bizarre answers in a desperate bid to beat the clock. There were moments of pure confusion, followed by triumphant shouts when someone finally guessed correctly. The game had everyone on the edge of their seats, wondering what would come next.
Personal Stories: Michigan Adventures and Festival Fun
Between rounds of Pictionary, the crew took a break to catch up on life and share some recent adventures. Derek, fresh off a trip to Michigan, regaled everyone with tales from his time in the Great Lakes State. He described the perfect weather, the joy of spending time with family, and a memorable dune buggy ride that made everyone wish for a Michigan getaway. His love for the region and the time he spent there was clear, serving as a reminder of the importance of reconnecting with loved ones.
Brad and Jordyn also shared their recent experiences at the Day Out of Time Fest. The festival, held on a stunning property, was a highlight of their recent weeks. They reminisced about the event and the great time they had with friends, including the legendary Paul Robertson. It was one of those perfect summer days that everyone wishes could last forever, and they’re already looking forward to the next one.
Round Two: Stepping Up the Challenge
As the night continued, the crew decided to raise the stakes with a new twist on the game. This time, the challenge was to draw two words in half the time, making it exponentially harder to get a point on the board. To say this round was intense would be an understatement. There were moments where the crew barely got through one word before the timer ran out, and the pressure was definitely on. Brad’s attempt at drawing a “traffic light” alongside “bubble” was met with mixed results, to say the least!
This round truly tested their creative thinking and quick reflexes. The Destruction Crew was determined to win, and the competition was fierce. They even threw in a blindfolded round to make things even more interesting, which led to some of the most abstract—and funniest—drawings of the night. If you think drawing a simple object is hard, try doing it without being able to see what you’re doing!
The Jordy Files: Entertainment News with a Twist
Of course, it wouldn’t be a Jams 'N' Cocktails episode without diving into some entertainment news. Jordyn took the reins with her segment, The Jordy Files, where she delivered the latest headlines with her usual wit and charm. This week’s stories covered a range of topics, from Aerosmith’s bittersweet announcement of their retirement from touring to Kesha being replaced by up-and-comer Chapel Roan at Lollapalooza.
The crew also touched on Pitbull’s exciting new partnership with Florida International University, where the stadium has been renamed in his honor—a historic first for any music artist. On a more somber note, they paid tribute to the late Connie Chiume, the beloved South African actress who starred in Marvel’s Black Panther, who passed away at the age of 72. And in true JNC fashion, they couldn’t resist a bit of light-hearted commentary on Boeing’s ongoing issues with their Starliner spacecraft, which has left two astronauts stuck in space far longer than intended.
Elly’s Badass Bible Study: Perspective is Key
As the night wound down, Elly took a moment to share some wisdom with everyone in her Badass Bible Study segment. This week’s message was all about the power of perspective. Elly reminded everyone that the key to happiness lies in how one chooses to see the world and themselves. By adopting a positive mindset, even in challenging situations, people can manifest the life they want to live. Her words were a perfect reminder that sometimes, all it takes is a little shift in perspective to turn things around.
Shameless Plugs and What’s Next
Before signing off, the crew couldn’t resist a round of Shameless Plugs. They highlighted some exciting events on the horizon, including Brad’s one-man band show at Barfly in Safety Harbor on August 11th. Listeners in the Clearwater area were encouraged to come out for a Sunday Funday! They also gave a special shoutout to their amazing sponsors, Shark Shack Sweets and Backbeats & Spirits Media, who keep the crew fueled for the fun.
They wrapped things up by inviting everyone to check out their Patreon page, where for just $5 a month, fans can access exclusive content, including behind-the-scenes footage and more. It’s a great way to support the show and stay connected with the JNC crew on a whole new level.
