Corn, Cocktails & Catching Up with The Ryan Owens

e Jams 'N' Cocktails Podcast kicked off its monumental tenth season with a laughter-filled, corn-splashed celebration featuring the triumphant return of fan-favorite guest The Ryan Owens. Hosted by Brad Brock and joined by the beloved JNC Destruction Crew—Jordyn Taylor and Elly Brock—this episode delivered everything listeners love about the show: music, mayhem, and mouth-burning mischief.

The evening opened with a high-energy welcome and quickly veered into nostalgic storytelling as Ryan recounted his life in New York City post-2021—from serving and singing in Manhattan to craving the slower, friendlier vibe of the Treasure Coast. His reflections on finding balance, mental reset, and reconnecting with the local music scene hit a relatable and heartfelt note.

To celebrate National Corn on the Cob Day, the team introduced the “Ole Smoky Heatwave” cocktail, a mango habanero whiskey-based drink that packed a sweet and spicy punch. The drink served as both a tribute to corn and a warm-up act for the fiery chaos to come.

The highlight of the night? The debut of the “Hot Corns Challenge”—a spicy spin on the popular Hot Ones format. Armed with corn slathered in increasingly intense sauces, Ryan bravely endured waves of heat while fielding questions about his artistic journey, NYC struggles, and Florida comeback. It was sweaty, hilarious, and deeply human.

Live music made a welcome return as Ryan delivered soulful, stripped-down performances from the JNC Lounge stage. Between the tunes, the episode touched on new merch drops, shout-outs to new sponsor Ocean Republic Brewing, and some good old-fashioned chaos with jello shots and spilled cocktails.

The show rounded out with a spicy edition of “The Jordy Files,” covering celebrity birthdays, music news, and a particularly jaw-dropping announcement—Nick Jonas stepping into platform boots as Paul Stanley in an upcoming KISS biopic.

A corny-themed “Name That Tune” game closed out the episode with laughs, friendly competition, and even more corn references than anyone thought possible.

Season 10 is off to a flaming start—both literally and figuratively—and this premiere proves why Jams 'N' Cocktails continues to be one of the most entertaining podcasts on the internet.
