The latest episode of Jams 'N' Cocktails Live was nothing short of unforgettable, combining trivia, cocktails, and some seriously painful consequences. Hosted by Brad Brock, the night featured the ever-enthusiastic crew: Jordyn Taylor, Derek, Steve “The Bruce,” Jenny, and Elly. With plenty of laughs, screams, and absurd challenges, including the much-feared Hot Wax Trivia, the episode had fans glued to their screens.
For those who missed the chaos—or just want to relive it—here’s an in-depth recap of the fun, pain, and everything in between.
Opening with Cocktails, Camaraderie, and Waxing Rules
Brad Brock greeted viewers with his signature charm, welcoming everyone tuning in on YouTube, Facebook, and Shore Life Radio. After a quick sound check (and some banter about the team’s technical setup woes), Brad unveiled the night’s special: Hot Wax Trivia. The game came with a brutal twist—each wrong answer resulted in a waxing strip being applied and painfully ripped off. There was no mercy, no exceptions—if you got it wrong, you paid the price with your own body hair.
Amid laughs and groans, the team braced themselves for what would become an epic night of trivia gone horribly (and hilariously) wrong. As Brad joked, “This is about entertainment. If we suffer, it’s only for the views.”
Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow: First Round of Hot Wax Trivia
With spirits (and Fireball shots) high, the crew dove headfirst into the first round of Hot Wax Trivia. Things got messy fast. Jordyn volunteered her leg to kick things off, but the wax barely made an impact, leaving Brad unimpressed and the audience howling with laughter. Next in line was Derek, whose unfortunate encounter with a wax strip across his arm elicited both gasps and giggles.
Brad himself wasn’t spared, and when it came time to rip a strip off his back, things went from bad to worse. “It’s like waxing Chewbacca,” someone quipped, as Brad winced through the pain, prompting a wave of screenshots and memes from the live audience. The fan-favorite moment came when Elly, the show’s unofficial waxer, tried to maintain a professional demeanor as she peeled off the strips—only for Brad to squirm in agony.
Derek’s Big Announcement and More Shenanigans
Between rounds of waxing chaos, Derek dropped some personal news that added a heartfelt twist to the night. He revealed that he had been accepted into nursing school, sparking supportive cheers from his fellow hosts and viewers. Naturally, the announcement was followed by jokes about sponge baths and GoFundMe campaigns to cover tuition. “We’ll wax the rest of your back and call it a fundraiser,” Brad teased.
The team also shared updates on the JNC Arcade, where Brad announced the release of their latest game, Hurricane Season. “A little tasteless, but fun,” Brad admitted, explaining that the goal of the game was to keep hurricanes from hitting Florida. The new addition to the arcade lineup added a touch of humor to the show’s updates, blending perfectly with the unpredictable nature of the night.
The Jordy Files: Entertainment News with a Twist
As if the night wasn’t wild enough, Jordyn took over with The Jordy Files, the show’s signature entertainment news segment. This week, the headlines ranged from tragic to bizarre. The team reacted to the heartbreaking news that Liam Payne of One Direction had tragically passed away in Buenos Aires under mysterious circumstances, sending shockwaves through the music world.
Jordyn also dished on lighter topics, including Mariah Carey’s disdain for overhead lighting and Camila Cabello’s cheeky claim that she’s inspired chart-topping hits. The news segment kept the energy high, and in classic Jams 'N' Cocktails fashion, even serious topics were balanced with humor and banter.
Second Round of Waxing: Going All In
As the night rolled on, it was clear the audience wasn’t satisfied with just one round of waxing. Encouraged by viewer comments—and some peer pressure—the crew decided to double down. This time, Brad faced an even larger section of his back being waxed, with Elly applying a generous coat of wax. The strip came off with a loud rip, and Brad’s pained expression was met with both sympathy and laughter.
Meanwhile, Derek upped the ante by volunteering his stomach for the next waxing. As Elly carefully applied the wax, Derek prepared himself—only to be left breathless when the strip was yanked off. The audience erupted as screenshots of Derek’s shocked face flooded the chat, including a meme-worthy edit from longtime viewer Mike Fro.
To wrap it up, Steve, always the team player, offered up his foot for waxing. The camera zoomed in as Elly peeled away the strip, revealing a hairless patch on top of his foot. “That wasn’t too bad,” Steve shrugged, though the chat buzzed with playful accusations that he was holding back tears.
Halloween Plans and Season Finale Preview
Before wrapping up the night, Brad took a moment to share exciting news about upcoming episodes. With October in full swing, the next two Jams 'N' Cocktails shows would be Halloween-themed. The crew will kick things off with a special National Horror Movie Day celebration, followed by their annual Halloween Spooktacular on October 30th—a fan-favorite tradition now in its fifth year. Brad hinted at some spooky surprises in store, promising that this year’s event would be “a scream.”
Brad also announced that the show would take a brief break in November for Thanksgiving but teased a special jam session featuring artists from the Riffs and Rhythms Music Festival. The festival, happening November 23rd, will include performances from some of the area’s most talented musicians, including Brad himself.
Shameless Plugs and Closing Remarks
As the episode drew to a close, Brad and the crew shared a few Shameless Plugs. They thanked their October keg sponsor, Elly’s Tarot Card Readings, and encouraged fans to check out the JNC Arcade at JNCLive.tv. Brad also reminded viewers to subscribe, follow, and review the show on YouTube and social media to keep the good times rolling.
“If you enjoyed watching us suffer tonight, consider joining our Patreon,” Brad joked, inviting fans to support the show and gain access to exclusive content.
With a final toast and a promise of more outrageous fun to come, the Jams 'N' Cocktails crew signed off—leaving viewers eagerly anticipating what madness lies ahead in the next episode.
