The Big Freeze: Flip-Flops, Fainting, and Local Legends

from Bridges and Beaches · host Jordan and Doriel

In this episode of Bridges and Beaches, hosts Jordan and Doriel bridge the gap between sunny Orange County and a literal New York deep freeze. While Jordan shares his experience interviewing local business owners in a breezy deli, Doriel recounts the hazards of a week-long "freeze wave," including a dramatic fainting spell at a bar that left a friend with a nasty bump and a hefty bill. We even cover some 90s sitcom nostalgia and the etiquette of cell phones at concerts to a competitive "Quiz Corner" featuring the history of booze. From the medicinal origins of whiskey to the secret of "Mother’s Ruin" gin, the duo blends professional insights with witty banter, eventually plotting their own future liquor empire over a round of historical trivia.
