  • This week on Brews & Cruise, weā€™re pouring a classic Jack Danielā€™s and Diet Coke and settling in with a very special guestā€”my uncle, Bill Lanikā€”right here in the Speakeasy Studio!

    Billā€™s love for music started when he was just 10 years old, and that passion led him on an incredible journey spanning decades. From forming his first bands to taking center stage as a lead singer, heā€™s experienced the thrill of performing in front of packed crowds, the camaraderie of life on the road, and the challenges of keeping the music alive while balancing family life.

    Whether youā€™re a die-hard music lover, a fan of behind-the-scenes stories, or just someone who loves a good conversation over a drink, this episode is packed with nostalgia, insight, and plenty of laughs.

But this isnā€™t just any mealā€”weā€™re diving headfirst into the Hot Ones Challenge!
