(Bar Rescue S6:E41)
EP134: This is a very special episode! We are covering the classic "Hole In None" episode for one of our very good friends of the show, Abi! This episode does not disappoint.

EP130: Welcome to the Midwest, Taffertins! We head to Pleasant Valley, MO to the Thunderbolt Bar & Grill and boy does nonsense await.

What a time to be alive! Enjoy!
EP128: Yo! Taffertins! We go "all in" on this one...just like James, the crazy manchild manager of "Cashmere." It's located in Raleigh, NC and at one point was the hottest joint in town. Until the competition rolled in and ate a hole in the finances. The owner, Brandon decided to get his good friend James to come in to liven it up. Which he doesn't do at all and decides to get drunk, laid and cry all the time. Perfect! Jon has a few words for this behavior...as you could imagine.
EP127: Taffertins! It's another oldie but a goodie...we have a wonderful human being of a guest John Rosenberger (@JohnJohnPhenom) joining us in Jim Jam Studios to talk about "Meat Sauna." Which lives up to its name! Jon and the crew head to Scottsdale, AZ to Stand Up Scottsdale which is run by Howard, who is a real meathead about how he is running the joint. From having the kitchen in the front creating a fog of meat smoke to performing every single night like a crazy person...this only spells ...
EP126: Good Friend Of Show Episode! Membership has its privileges, and if you're a Good Friend of The Show...you get that.

EP125: We are back into the vault Taffertins! The new season has ended and we are diving into some more classic episodes. On this ride, we head to Black Canyon City, AZ to "Kid Chilleen's Bad Azz BBQ & Steakhouse." It's owned by Scott and Donna and boy do they have some mess on display. If it's not the rampant alcohol they are pounding back instead of working...it is the HORSE that comes into the bar! And you guessed it...that horse couldn't make it to the bathroom either. This and much more awa...
