Ep 46: Cocktail Hour and the NBA/Kentucky Derby

The Fired Up Podcast

Intern Eric came back alive and to celebrate we talked a bit about Coachella (1:00) and his top 3 acts (3:45). That seemed like enough so then in honor of it being the week of the Kentucky Derby at the time of this recording we decided to honor the mint julep and do a 16-cocktail bracket (6:30). First round match-ups include: Manhattan vs Screwdriver (10:00), Mint Julep vs White Russian (14:15), Margarita vs Bloody Mary (18:40), Caipirinha vs Irish Coffee (21:50), Martini vs Tom Collins (34:50), Old Fashioned vs Moscow Mule (28:00), Greyhound vs Mojito (32:30), and The QJ vs Long Island Iced Tea (34:00). A riveting Elite 8 (38:40) and Final Four (42:30) revealed our champion. Then, we talked some NBA playoffs (48:20) including Dubs vs Pels, Boston, Pop, Kawhi, etc. Finally, we finished up with the Kentucky Derby (1:04:10) and our pod favorite for the race! Thanks for listening!
