  • Laughing To The Moon on April Fools

    Send us Fan Mail

    This week on Jams ’N’ Cocktails, the crew leans all the way into the chaos—with a weird, hilarious, and surprisingly heartfelt episode that blends space exploration, comedy music, and absolute nonsense. Brad Brock, Derek Zugel, and Steve “The Bruce” hold things down in the lounge while delivering laughs, strong opinions, and a cocktail that probably shouldn’t exist… but somehow works.

    From breaking down the historic Artemis mission launch (or… was it?) to counting down the greatest comedian musicians of all time, this episode swings from genuinely moving to completely ridiculous in seconds. Toss in rapid-fire jokes, fan-favorite segments, and a few unexpected tangents, and you’ve got an episode that keeps you guessing—and laughing—the whole way through.

    In this episode of Riffs n Rhythms, Paul Robertson and Kevin McLoughlin are joined by special guest Johnny Ringo—event mastermind, rum entrepreneur, and all-around Florida legend.

Along the way, expect plenty of humor, unexpected tangents (including a questionable “fetish with lettuce” idea 😂), and a deep appreciation for Florida’s music scene.

    Plus, the guys break down a track in their signature “Riff or Rhythm” segment—this time featuring Billy T and the Baggers—and share stories that prove the best moments in music don’t always happen on stage.
