Wasted Truth

This week on Wasted Truth, Nik and Jill are joined by longtime homie and absolute industry badass, Gemaal: the man behind Apertif, a high-end bartending company slinging booze at weddings and events all over. Nik’s worked with him for over a decade, so you know the stories run deep. From shutting down entire weddings three hours in, to witnessing guests turn into full-blown monsters of entitlement, Jamal doesn’t hold back. Oh, and yes, we talk about “Harry Potter-ing babies” (yes, literal infants stored in closets so their parents could rage). We unpack the chaos of working weddings, the pain of drunk groups of men public, and what it’s like trying to keep things classy when everyone else is messy. It’s wild, it’s funny, and it’s as unhinged as you’d expect. Cheers, degenerates.

This week on Wasted Truth, Nik and Jill are joined by the iconic duo Christa and Jonda: owners of East Nashville’s legendary Lipstick Lounge, Tennessee’s only certified lesbian bar that’s been slinging drinks and queer joy for over two decades. We get into what it’s like growing up gay in the South, coming out, and what it means to run a safe space for the LGBTQ+ community in a state that isn’t always so welcoming. Of course, it wouldn’t be Wasted Truth without some unhinged bar stories, including a traumatic trip down memory lane featuring the infamous “doo-doo-thong” and the “water-meter-shitter.” Oh, and we also talk about Jill’s bush…. You’ve been warned. Come for the gay history, stay for the poop trauma. Cheers, queers!

This week, ya girls Nik and Jill fly solo, but don’t worry hunnies, the tea is still piping hot!! Our inbox was full of chaos, so we read your wildest write-ins and play some juicy voice memos from listeners who clearly have no shame (our favorite kind of people). From bathroom barfs to managers caught mid-naughtiness, we react to your most unhinged service industry stories. Buckle up for laughs, gags (the gross kind), and a whole lotta wasted truth.

This week, we hit record from Goodtimes (literally), where Nik slings drinks and we get real with the one and only Alli Torres - a straight-up powerhouse in the service industry. She’s a writer, VP of the sultry new tequila brand Quintalisa, and the baddie behind the bar on the latest two seasons of Bar Rescue. We dive into what it means to dominate in a male-heavy industry, how to demand your seat at the damn table, and all the wild shit that comes with working in cities like Miami and NYC. Expect tequila-fueled tangents, behind-the-scenes Bar Rescue tea, and the usual Wasted Truth filth you know and love.

This week on Wasted Truth, Nik and Jill are joined by Philip from Nelson’s Greenbrier Distillery: a former wedding planner turned whiskey-slinging event guru. We dive into some of his most unhinged bridezillatales, talk about the wild ride from organizing teary vows to pouring Tennessee bourbon, and taste through some damn fine local whiskey right from the beautiful Greenbrier event space. We play a raunchy round of “WWPD - What Would Phil Do” on bizarre event requests (no, you cannot bring your emotional support petting zoo), debate whether RuPaul’s lost it, and for some reason boofing Everclear gets mentioned, tune in to find out why. Philip may not have slung drinks behind the stick, but he’s got plenty of industry chaos under his belt. It’s messy, it’s boozy, and it’s Wasted Truth, baby.

It’s just Nik and Jill this week, and the claws are out. In true Wasted Truth fashion, the girls dive into a full-on yappy bitch sesh about the most annoying guests, the dumbest bar behavior, and the kind of service industry nonsense that makes you want to scream into the ice well. Jill shares a story about one of the absolute worst customers she’s ever had to deal with (and she’s seen some shit), while Nik talks about some “friends” who brought unnecessary drama—including a wife who straight-up called the bar to make sure her man wasn’t lying. We also bring back our favorite segment: “Don’t Fucking Do’s” featuring even more service sins that’ll have every bartender nodding and raging in solidarity. Tune in, vent with us, and remember: the customer isn’t always right—they’re just loud.

This week on Wasted Truth, Nik and Jill sit down with Jason Sorbet—New Orleans native, neuroscience degree holder, and current part-owner of Nashville’s brand new booze den, Barrel Proof. We dive deep into Jason’s roots in the industry, from slinging drinks as a kid in the Big Easy to running one of Nashville’s hottest new bars. We also get real about mental health in the service world, how to keep your head on straight while working your ass off, and why Jason traded brains for booze (literally). Of course, it wouldn’t be a Wasted Truth episode without a few unhinged stories, raunchy laughs, and a good ol’ shit-talking session.

Get ready to pour one up and tune in—this one’s got brains and booze.

This week on Wasted Truth, Nik and Jill welcome the absolute legend that is Courtney from Fernet-Branca—a woman who knows more about booze and brand life than your average barfly knows about bad decisions. We dive into her wild ride through the alcohol industry, hopping state to state slinging beer and spirits before landing in Nashville during peak pandemic chaos. She’s been repping Fernet for two years now (aka keeping the service industry’s collective liver slightly terrified), and we get into her day-to-day adventures, the fun parties she throws, and why Fernet is basically bartender holy water. Come for the industry gossip, stay for the digestive talk and degenerate stories. Cheers, ya filthy animals.

Episode 6 of Wasted Truth is Here! This week, the girls ride solo again and spill all the W-Tea!

Nik just celebrated her birthday in the most bartender-appropriate way possible—spa day by daylight, house party by moonlight, and a healthy dose of questionable decisions in between. Jill, however, decided to mom it up and ghost the party (rude), but we guess popping out a kid earns her a get-out-of-guilt-free card… for now.

The duo dives into the sweet, sweet perks of birthday freebies: where to get your complimentary shots, slices, and maybe even some dignity back (doubtful). Nik also shares a real gem from a recent event she worked.. imagine pouring your heart into bartending and getting paid in tiny plastic Jesus instead of cold, hard cash. Amen?

Oh, and ever wondered where the hell the Old Fashioned came from? We’ve got you. 

We also read some drunk listener stories that made us question humanity (and our livers). 

Buckle up for another chaotic episode of spilled booze, spilled tea, and unfiltered bar banter from your favorite degenerate drink-slingers.

This week Nik and Jill are joined by a very special guest—Jill’s baby daddy, Quint. That’s right, the man who helped create a tiny human and still manages to sling drinks at the same bar as her. We dive deep into the messy, hilarious, and brutally honest world of co-parenting in the service industry. From tag-teaming childcare schedules to passing each other in the bar like coworkers with benefits (the benefit being… a whole-ass child), nothing’s off-limits.

We also play a round of What’s Worse: drunk bar guests vs. screaming babies. Spoiler alert—both require wet wipes and unreasonable patience.

So grab a drink (or a diaper bag), and get ready for some real talk, a few laughs, and maybe even a tear (from laughter… or sleep deprivation).
