We Are Live! with Chris Denman

An all STL edition of Virtual Happy Hour with founding brewer, Stephen Hale from Schlafly in Saint Louis, MO. We kick things off with a cocktail by Pat, oh and he's in character. Thanks, Barkeep. Shifting gears Chris and Stephen Hale discuss some of the trials and tribulations of craft beer over the last nearly 30 years. A new beer is released, Stephen shows us where the new MLS team will be playing, and updates us on the brewery's current quarantine operations. Josh Eaker, of Brother Lee and the Leather Jackals joins for tunes. Good news, there's a song about Charlie Manson. Fun.

Virtual Happy Hour Week 4

Welcome to back to another week of the most fun happy hour happening at home, our Virtual Happy Hour! This week, we once again have some awesome guests and music along with in addition to some tasty quarantine cocktails from our friends at STL Barkeep.

For our first cocktail, a (sleeveless) Pat Gioia makes a Till vodka infusion using a French press and common violets that you can find in your own backyard, making this a perfect recipe if your quarantine resources are dwindling.

Next, we chat with Tom Halaska of Well Being Brewing about their great selection of delicious and non-alcoholic brews and his process of building a brand. Don’t let a pandemic stop you from trying them as you can have them delivered from your local grocery store!

Matt Longueville brings us our next quarantine cocktail made with bourbon, fresh blueberries, and honey. Matt recommends enjoying this cocktail while sitting on your porch (6 feet away from others, of course).

For our musical guest, we are joined by The River Kittens. The talented duo talks with us about how they’re staying practiced during these times, and how they keep engaged with their audience via online livestream concerts. The River Kittens then preform a couple of songs for us.

Thank you for joining us! We hope you are staying safe, healthy, and entertained during these times. We hope you can join us again this Thursday!

Investigative reporter for Inside Edition, former NFL cheerleader, model, singer, actor, and she's even appeared in Playboy. Lisa Guerrero spends most of her days chasing down the wildest stories but she takes time out of her busy schedule to join Chris on the show. Lisa discusses her recent switch in coverage to how Coronavirus / COVID-19 is changing our everyday lives, her time as a Los Angeles Rams cheerleader, gives her thoughts on their move (and move back from) to Saint Louis, what it was like confronting mega church pastor Kenneth Copeland ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9LtF34MrsfI ) "Demons in Tubes". Plus we go down the Tiger King rabbit hole as Lisa has intimate knowledge of Joe Exotic from her 2010 interview, spoiler alert, she's not a fan of his treatment of Tigers.

(Apologies for any tech troubles or listening issues. We've ironed everything out in studio and if released a one on one with Womack, who was to be our musical guest this week)

Welcome to another week of Virtual Happy Hour! This week, we have some awesome guests

along with another two exciting quarantine cocktails (quarantinis?) from our friends at STL

Barkeep.

Our first special guests this week are Andy Mansinne, VP of MGP Brands, and David Whitmer,

MGP Master Blender. This dynamic duo gave us a truncated Masters of Rye class designed to

get to the heart of the spirit, starting with a history of rye from colonial origins to one of the

fastest-growing categories in spirits today. Rossville Union #RaiseSpirits

For our first quarantine cocktail, Matt Longueville taught us how to make a Signature Master

Crafted Manhattan using Rossville Union Master Crafted Rye (94 proof)

Next, Comedian Mia Jackson joins us to discuss life after her Comedy Central special. Jackson

details the struggle to come up with material about the outside world when there is no outside

world without just talking shit on people at the grocery store. Chris and Mia also discuss the

post-pandemic future of stand up gigs.

Pat Gioia brings us our next quarantine drink, an unnamed cocktail with Gin, Watermelon juice,

and jalapenos. According to Pat, this fun and fruity beverage is best enjoyed in Austin, Texas.

Thank you for joining us through our technical difficulties! Let us know if you try out these

cocktails and we look forward to seeing you next week!

Welcome to Week 2 of Virtual Happy Hour featuring Jessimae Peluso and Katie Toupin!

Chris Denman is joined by Pat Gioia and Matt Longueville from STL Barkeep. Pat teaches us how to make a fruity quarantine cocktail with banana, orange, strawberry and lemon, so if your spring break on the beach was canceled, you can at least enjoy a tropical cocktail.

Our first guest is comedian Jessimae Peluso who has been featured on MTV’s “Girl Code” and Lights Out with David Spade. Jessimae brought on a surprise guest - John Stamos! Or, at least, a very dramatic framed photo of him. Jessimae chats with us about quarantine activities such as learning guitar (potentially), potentially becoming the “Crock Pot Killer,” beef stew, and some interesting alternative sources of income (hit up her Cameo if you wanna buy feet pics). Jessimae also brings on a second surprise guest - her late father in a travel-sized urn.

If you need another drink to process all that, so did we, and thankfully Matt Longueville was there to teach us another quarantine cocktail recipe, this time a unique cocktail inspired by prohibition. Matt makes the bourbon-based drink with maple syrup and eggs so you have every excuse to enjoy it as a breakfast cocktail (Plus, we’re in quarantine so are there really any rules for when to start drinking??)

Finally, we were joined by musical guest Katie Toupin to discuss her music and the digital age of the music industry (Like Jessimae, Katie offers feet pics on the highest level of her patreon, btw #SupportArtists). Using her neices ukelele, Katie performs some of her music, including the single “Don’t Wanna Die,” which was very ironically named prior to the COVID-19 outbreak, and describes the story behind it.

Thank you to 1860's Saloon in Soulard for our happy hour snack today!

Well, times are interesting to say the least. Matt Longueville & Pat Gioia join Chris Denman in studio for the first ever 'Virtual Happy Hour'. Quarantine's are suggested and they're better with bourbon cocktails. The fellas run through ingredients, history, and best practices to make a special cocktail at home while we wait out the corona virus. Comedian, Ian Bagg, from Last Comic Standing stops by to chat via video call from Long Beach, CA. The Canadian comic talks hockey, introduces us to his French Bulldog "Pearl" his rescue dog "Lou", and talks about the time he hung out with Logan Paul. The show closes out with a Gaslight Session from Jordan Suter, an STL musician.
