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.

Clubbers: Marty, Bruce an Patrick.

Recorded at the Secret Studio.

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?
