It’s the 99th episode for us here at Effinbradio and we reflect on how many hours we must have spent together to tape that many shows.  Nikki discovers a new line of salty gins and Phil sort of tells us about his new job.  We are so delighted to still be in your hearts 99 weeks later….love, effinbradio

The incredible Brianne Day of Day Wines in Oregon joins us on our very last taping in Effinb HQ (don’t worry, it’s not the last day of the show, relax.) We talk about experimentation, natural winemaking and Phil gets weird with Mother’s Day surprises.

That Kwei Fei, it’s so hot right now.  David and Tina Schuttenberg are behind our favorite late night haunt. (You might remember the life-giving Sichuan pop-up from THE EFFIN BEST AWARDS.) And this week Dave is our esteemed guest.  After his dream of being a radio disco jockey evaporated (no joke) he went to culinary school, but if I do say so myself, he’s got a knack for this radio thing.  tune in, it’s tingly.

 

Jayce McConnell is practically perfect in every way.  He’s the Head Bartender at Edmunds Oast and has a legendary mustache. He joins Lindsay, Nikki and Phil in the effinb HQ and tells us what a fancy bartender like himself drinks at home. [A huge extra special thanks to him for guest bartending after the show and for wearing that unicorn zombie t-shirt. ]

Teddy Nixon is the star of this episode. He bids farewell to a city that helped land him at the helm of Bar Mash and on the cover of IMBIBE mag. We wish him bon voyage on this very, super, extra-lit show. Effinb HQ is basically TRL and this episode was not only taped in front of a live audience but no less than two special guests roll up unannounced and wildly welcomed.

The gang recaps the recent joys and weird moments of running OUR VERY OWN BAR [effinb HQ] and looks longingly at Summer.
