In this episode, we take a relaxed, funny, and slightly nostalgic look back at some of our favorite moments from past episodes. From unexpected detours to conversations that took on a life of their own, we revisit the topics that shaped the show- and still get us laughing (and occasionally shaking our heads). We reconnect with the humor, honesty, and irreverence that defines the podcast. Whether you’ve been listening from the start or just joined the club, this episode is a celebration of the stories, tangents, and unforgettable moments that made it all happen. 

Featured cocktail: The Monkey Gland. A prohibition-era classic cocktail created by Harry MacElhone in the 1920’s at Harry’s bar near Paris. It features a fruity herbaceous blend of gin, orange juice, and grenadine, finished with a subtle anise aroma from absinthe. De-fucking-lightful!

In this episode, the Clubbers are honored to have as a guest, living diva Paula West. A vocalist who doesn’t just sing a song, she inhabits it. Known for her razor sharp phrasing, smokey tone, and fearless interpretations, Paula brings a kind of emotional intelligence that feels both classic and completely modern. We talk about her journey from San Francisco stages to international acclaim, and her unapologetically bold approach to the Great American Songbook. An often avoided subject, the world political situation, is touched upon, as well her “on the nose” Facebook fashion reviews. Check out her latest release, “When that man is dead and gone” on YouTube. This one is truly a fun one!

Featured cocktail: The Black Raspberry Margarita. A refreshingly different take on a classic drink made with muddled black raspberries, tequila or agave, orange liqueur and lime juice. This one holds a true place in the “Kickapoo Joy Juice” hall of fame. We realize there are those that face challenges with alcohol. We support you and hope that you are able to appreciate we offer here.

The Clubbers bounce around like a pinball machine this time, and attempt to give advice to a listener who is angry that his life partner passed away. Then what do you do to solve a hilarious modern problem when your two Cyber (virtual) boyfriends get jealous of each other? Have you ever had a song stuck in your head and just won’t go away? And what do you think happens when we die? 

Featured cocktail: The Casino. A pre-Prohibition drink that balances gin with Luxardo, maraschino liqueur, lemon and Orange bitters. Garnished with a Luxardo cherry. It is a bright, botanical, and slightly sweet “Daisy” style cocktail.

The usually upbeat Clubbers are feeling a bit down this episode, but rally with their gift of laughter. In an effort to feel better, the Boys run roughshod over realizing it’s OK to feel low if you know that it’s temporary, and you WILL be OK. Then somehow the origin of the Universe came up running the range from physics to meta- physics. And finally A. I. and the evils of the internet you’re on right now. A lot of ground covered in this one.

Featured cocktail: the Bloody Caesar. Like a Bloody Mary but with clamato juice, Worcestershire sauce, vodka and a celery salted glass. Often served with a BBQ shrimp garnish. Truly an “Ides of March” drink. Et tu Brute?

We always welcome a variety of listeners but this time our focus is on older gay gentlemen who actually prefer and enjoy staying single. Not everyone wants or needs another to complete them or their lives. To those guys, we salute you and discuss some reasons why.

Then the ever famous NWC Clubbers bitch session takes on people who insist on wearing waaaaay too much cologne filling the room with what smells something akin to Raid bug spray, and the ever obnoxious “Loud Talkers.” We all know one of more of them, don’t we?

Featured cocktail: The original Irish coffee. A fortified hot drink to warm the cockles of your tasteful little hearts. Coffee, Irish whiskey and sugar finished off with a dollop of sweet whipped cream. The perfect winter time double buzz! We realize there are those who have challenges with alcohol. We support you and hope that you are able to appreciate what we offer here.

We Three Quee… disoriented are. Happy…Merry Christmukah? The Clubbers give us a hilarious send up of all the year end holidays. Childhood holiday memories are shared and their favorite holiday movies discussed. Was Die Hard a Christmas movie? Was Olive, the other reindeer the ringleader who wouldn’t let Rudolph play in any reindeer games? That bitch. And Rappin Santa graced us with a special song!

Featured cocktail: The Grinch, of course. A delightfully sinister drink made with Vodka, Pineapple juice, Blue Curaçao, simple syrup, lemon juice and green food coloring for the ultimate effect. Bright, citrusy, sweet and sure to please all the Whos in Whoville! We realize there are those that have alcohol challenges. We support you and hope that you are able to appreciate what we offer here.

This one is really special. The Clubbers celebrate the holiday and run the gamut from funny to poignant as they discuss what being thankful truly means. New philosophies take over in guidance of daily life. The bucket list is revisited with fresh eyes. Finding joy in an ever challenging world, and remember to check any suspicious moles.

Featured cocktail: The Holiday Cranberry Spritzer. Get spritzered with this piquant and zippy beverage. Sweet and bright with just a hint of bitter. Kinda like life, huh?

The Clubbers are thrilled to start their 3rd season with a really special interview guest, comedian, actor and author, Scott Capurro. You may remember him as Aunt Jack in the film Mrs. Doubtfire. His list of credits is longer than Joan Rivers’ surgical history and his stories are filled with humor, compassion and absolutely guaranteed to make you laugh your eyebrows off. This episode is as about as much fun as you can have with your clothes still on!

Featured cocktail: Vodka on the rocks. High quality potato juice over ice cubes. Scott’s favorite. We realize there are those that have challenges with alcohol. We support you and hope that you are able to appreciate what we offer here.

The Clubbers are thrilled to wrap up their second season with a special surprise guest! Playwright, author, professor and museum exhibit entrepreneur, Marty Martin. You may know him from his award winning play, Gertrude Stein, Gertrude Stein, Gertrude Stein - a “One Woman Show” he wrote especially for the star, Pat Carroll. A dramatic force with which to be reckoned in her own right, she shown like Broadway klieg lights in this performance. See it if you can. It is available on YOUTUBE. Being an old boyfriend of Patrick brought back fond memories and was a joyous bonus! 

Featured Cocktail: The classic Martini. Gin, dry vermouth with a Spanish olive to garnish. A favorite drink of Marty Martin’s, our resident mixologist, Marty Bryce made us some extra special ones. A Martini…for Marty…made by Marty. A Marty party!

This one’s a great one! The Clubbers get really deep this time. Is this reality truly what we see and perceive it to be? Can your brain lie to you? And is therapy any activity that is therapeutic? Our younger listeners are encouraged to spread the good word. Our joy is welcoming all humans of any age and gender, however they identify to listen and have fun with us. We have some super phone calls and emails to share. 

Featured cocktail: The French “75.” A delightful blend of Gin, fresh lemon juice, simple syrup, and champagne garnished with a lemon twist. Sweet and refreshing, and it creeps up on you. Not happy about the origin of the name, but hey, whattaya gonna do? We realize there are those who face challenges with alcohol. We appreciate and support that and hope that you can find a way to appreciate what we offer here.
