If there’s one thing the Jams 'N' Cocktails crew knows how to do, it’s take tradition and flip it on its head. On the latest episode of the JNC Podcast, host Brad Brock and the infamous Destruction Crew delivered one of their messiest, funniest, and most chaotic nights yet—launching a brand-new game that brought music trivia, suspense, and pies together in the most unforgettable way possible.

Welcome to the Pie/Charts Game.

Inspired by a quirky game show called “Quiz With Balls,” the JNC team added their signature flair—swapping out falling zones for pies to the face. The rules were simple (or not): don’t pick the correct Billboard chart answer. One wrong move, and it’s SPLAT—right in the face. And let’s just say, it didn’t take long before the whipped cream was flying. Elly, one of the evening’s stars (and frequent pie victim), took it all like a champ, delivering bloopers and belly laughs that had the audience cracking up.

But the game wasn’t the only thing worth celebrating. The episode also paid tribute to National Root Beer Float Day with not one but two boozy float recipes. Brad’s hard root beer creation—with a splash of 99 Root Beer—was topped with ice cream, whipped cream, and plenty of nostalgia. Later, Derek (aka Captain Cocktail) shared a dangerously delicious maple-vanilla root beer cocktail, inspired by a request from his mom and made with craft-infused syrup from a Michigan distillery.

In between games and spills, the crew talked future plans—including the much-anticipated 6th Annual Halloween Spooktacular. From haunted houses to zombie runs (or more realistically, a “zombie stagger”), the ideas are rolling in—and fans are being encouraged to submit their own spooky themes.

Other highlights included the ever-entertaining Name That Tune segment, a hilarious AI version of Jordyn delivering The Jordy Files, and a heartfelt Midweek Motivation about rolling with the punches—or pies. The show wrapped with the world premiere of Kevin McLoughlin’s new Beer:30 music video, part of a unique live redirect that automatically took fans straight to Kevin’s video for the full experience.

This episode was everything JNC fans love: musical mayhem, cocktails with character, creative games, and a cast of personalities that make you feel like you're right there in the lounge. Whether you tuned in for the trivia or stuck around for the splat, one thing’s for sure—this episode brought the fun in full force.
