Wasted Truth

Skinnier Than Girth Brooks

This week on Wasted Truth, Nik and Jill are joined by longtime homie and absolute industry badass, Gemaal: the man behind Apertif, a high-end bartending company slinging booze at weddings and events all over. Nik’s worked with him for over a decade, so you know the stories run deep. From shutting down entire weddings three hours in, to witnessing guests turn into full-blown monsters of entitlement, Jamal doesn’t hold back. Oh, and yes, we talk about “Harry Potter-ing babies” (yes, literal infants stored in closets so their parents could rage). We unpack the chaos of working weddings, the pain of drunk groups of men public, and what it’s like trying to keep things classy when everyone else is messy. It’s wild, it’s funny, and it’s as unhinged as you’d expect. Cheers, degenerates.Let's spill some W-Tea! CALL US, YOUR VOICEMAIL MIGHT JUST MAKE IT ON THE POD!

Super Gay (Without The Cape)

This week on Wasted Truth, Nik and Jill are joined by the iconic duo Christa and Jonda: owners of East Nashville’s legendary Lipstick Lounge, Tennessee’s only certified lesbian bar that’s been slinging drinks and queer joy for over two decades. We get into what it’s like growing up gay in the South, coming out, and what it means to run a safe space for the LGBTQ+ community in a state that isn’t always so welcoming. Of course, it wouldn’t be Wasted Truth without some unhinged bar stories, including a traumatic trip down memory lane featuring the infamous “doo-doo-thong” and the “water-meter-shitter.” Oh, and we also talk about Jill’s bush…. You’ve been warned. Come for the gay history, stay for the poop trauma. Cheers, queers!Let's spill some W-Tea! CALL US, YOUR VOICEMAIL MIGHT JUST MAKE IT ON THE POD!

Molly-Poppin at Panera

This week, ya girls Nik and Jill fly solo, but don’t worry hunnies, the tea is still piping hot!! Our inbox was full of chaos, so we read your wildest write-ins and play some juicy voice memos from listeners who clearly have no shame (our favorite kind of people). From bathroom barfs to managers caught mid-naughtiness, we react to your most unhinged service industry stories. Buckle up for laughs, gags (the gross kind), and a whole lotta wasted truth.Let's spill some W-Tea! CALL US, YOUR VOICEMAIL MIGHT JUST MAKE IT ON THE POD!

Shoutout to Cream Pies

This week, we hit record from Goodtimes (literally), where Nik slings drinks and we get real with the one and only Alli Torres - a straight-up powerhouse in the service industry. She’s a writer, VP of the sultry new tequila brand Quintalisa, and the baddie behind the bar on the latest two seasons of Bar Rescue. We dive into what it means to dominate in a male-heavy industry, how to demand your seat at the damn table, and all the wild shit that comes with working in cities like Miami and NYC. Expect tequila-fueled tangents, behind-the-scenes Bar Rescue tea, and the usual Wasted Truth filth you know and love.Let's spill some W-Tea! CALL US, YOUR VOICEMAIL MIGHT JUST MAKE IT ON THE POD!

Bridezillas, Bourbon, & Boofing Everclear

This week on Wasted Truth, Nik and Jill are joined by Philip from Nelson’s Greenbrier Distillery: a former wedding planner turned whiskey-slinging event guru. We dive into some of his most unhinged bridezillatales, talk about the wild ride from organizing teary vows to pouring Tennessee bourbon, and taste through some damn fine local whiskey right from the beautiful Greenbrier event space. We play a raunchy round of “WWPD - What Would Phil Do” on bizarre event requests (no, you cannot bring your emotional support petting zoo), debate whether RuPaul’s lost it, and for some reason boofing Everclear gets mentioned, tune in to find out why. Philip may not have slung drinks behind the stick, but he’s got plenty of industry chaos under his belt. It’s messy, it’s boozy, and it’s Wasted Truth, baby.Let's spill some W-Tea!
