This week on Riffs & Rhythms, outlaw country artist Bethany Lynn returns—and chaos follows. From performing in memory units to writing songs in the silence of long drives, Bethany gets real about music, Nashville, and songwriting with salty charm. Meanwhile, your everyone spirals gloriously into Muppets, Star Wars, Satan’s Taint (the band!), and the infamous town of My Anus, Connecticut.
🔹 Off-the-rails banter
🔹 Real stories from the road
🔹 And possibly the best (or worst?) pizza delivery tale of all time
🔹 The crew reviews Satan's track "Asatru," in their signature "Riffs & Rhythms" breakdown.

In this wild and unfiltered episode, we welcome Treasure Coast outlaw-country artist Bethany Lynn — and nothing's off-limits. From quitting the music industry (briefly), to detailing yachts in hurricane season, to being allegedly banned from venues (thanks, Mom), Bethany dishes out hilarious and heartfelt stories about life as a working musician. We talk Nashville, carpal tunnel, retirement home gigs, and how old men flock to her like "flies on 💩". Oh, and yes… we discuss grudge fudge

From scorpions and mealworms to Jurassic-level spicy jerky, this episode pulls no punches as the team faces off against bizarre snacks and serious heat—all while keeping the laughs rolling.
Of course, it wouldn’t be a JNC episode without a signature drink, and this week’s star is the Dr Pepper Old-Fashioned—a playful twist on the classic cocktail that blends nostalgia with serious mixology chops. Plus, Brad shares behind-the-scenes stories, live music exclusives, and plenty of interactive fun with their vibrant live audience.

What happens when red carpets and recording studios aren’t enough? In this episode of Jams 'N' Cocktails, host Brad Brock launches into a hilarious and surprisingly heartfelt discussion about celebrities going to space. From Katy Perry’s emotional Blue Origin flight to William Shatner’s reflective journey as Captain Kirk made real, we unpack who’s flown, who’s booked, and who backed out—plus all the drama and debate that follows.
Also hanging in the JNC Lounge is the ever-enchanting Jordyn Taylor as we break down the praise, the pushback, and whether sending pop stars into orbit is a bold leap for mankind or just a billionaire-powered photo op. We sip our Major Tom Collins (yes, a space-themed cocktail!) and dive into the weird, wild world of celebrity space tourism, public reaction, and the future of space travel. Spoiler alert: Jordyn has thoughts. Oh, and yes—we play “Name That Tune: Out of This World Edition” too. Buckle up!

Your host Brad Brock is back in the JNC Lounge with the ever-delightful Jordyn Taylor for a truly nostalgic and hilarious ride through the unexpected comeback stories of some of our favorite songs. In this episode, we're talking about those hidden musical gems and forgotten hits that found second lives years—sometimes decades—after their original release... thanks to none other than TikTok.
From Fleetwood Mac’s “Dreams” riding a skateboard with cranberry juice to Kate Bush’s dramatic return via Stranger Things, we're diving into the TikTok time warp that’s resurrecting B-sides, indie anthems, and underrated bops. We also chat about viral AI-generated action figures (yes, including butt plugs), taste-test the Pink Pony Pop cocktail, and bring you live music, entertainment headlines in The Jordy Files, a throwback edition of Name That Tune, and our signature Midweek Motivation. Trust us—this one’s jam-packed (pun intended) with fun, laughs, and earworms!
