The JD's Cocktail Lounge Funtorium

Hallo Freunde! On this week’s stop by JD’s Cocktail Lounge, Correspondent (and all around nice chap) Dan Nikolits stops by the corner booth for a discussion of the emphasis placed on being “Facebook Official” in romantic relationships. In addition, there’s discussion of Lindsay Lohan’s Schtuppin’ List, Dave’s childhood journal, the perils of zippers and the best musical way to tag any conversation.

Plus: A Drink of the Week that’s a blast from the past and a Comment Card asking about the guys’ nighttime fears.

It’s March, and that means JD’s Cocktail Lounge is back for all new episodes! This week, the fellas discuss how to (allegedly) treat addictive behavior with video games, what fast food themed headgear goes for on eBay, and why luggage is not a good deterrent for snakes. In addition, Big Jon reads more Missed Connections from Jackson, and Dave is thwarted at every turn in his attempts to find a primary care physician.

Plus: Dan Nikolits leads an employee safety seminar, Dave presents a cocktail in honor of his favorite director and a patron writes a Comment Card hoping to never be left in the lurch again.

TGIJD’s! This week on JD’s Cocktail Lounge, the guys discuss Facebook’s expensive acquisition of a stupid messaging app, why comedians agree to perform at small festivals, and what happens when you don’t return a VHS tape to the video store for almost a decade. In addition, there’s a Scotch Report exploring the fallacy of its “no girls allowed” persona, a cocktail to pacify, once and for all, all you weather-obsessed small-talkers, and a Comment Card highlighting the all-too-well-known phenomenon of Jordan being wrong about something.

We’ll be taking next week off, and will return to your ears (and your hearts) on March 7!

Happy Valentine's Day, patrons! On this romantic* edition of JD's, Dan Nikolits, Lindsey Wahowiak and Security Stephen Dix share their tales of romance gone awry. In addition, there's discussion of the importance of font size, the importance of knowing Sam Jackson is NOT Laurence Fishbourne, the importance of not publishing your terrible poetry (especially when you're famous) and the importance of not using too much hairspray before getting behind the wheel. All in all, there's a lot of important stuff going on.

Plus: a discussion of which celebrities (allegedly) smell bad, a Valentine's/Traverse City themed cocktail and a Comment Card asking to pump up the jam.

* This episode may or may not actually be "romantic" given what your personal parameters for such a designation may be.

Oh, so nice of you to stop by to JD’s Cocktail Lounge (just please take your shoes off. Okay. Thanks). This week, JD’s Correspondent Dan Nikolits stops by the corner booth to talk about how Hollywood’s interpretation of Groundhog’s Day is nothing like the real deal—but perhaps even better (?). In addition, this talk of a Michigan super hero feud, a former American Idol contestant running for office and the bizarre reality of Ice-T recording a Dungeons and Dragons audiobook.

Plus: Figure skaters, social media cocktails and a request for more of a certain jazzy MC, if you please.

Hike! It's Super Bowl Weekend here at JD's Cocktail Lounge! The fellas talk about getting your White House petition answered (from personal experience), the Polar Vortex of Small Talk and what it REALLY takes to succeed in Hollywood.

Plus: The "State of the Bar" address, a Big Game themed cocktail and a Comment Card calling Jordan to the carpet (that's a lot of alliteration) about his thoughts on The Internet's Girlfriend.
