Description
Welcome to Twist Happy Hour — where cocktails and conversations collide in the best way possible.
Hosted by two gals who love a well-shaken drink and an even better story, Twist Happy Hour is your invite to sit back, sip something delicious, and eavesdrop on the kind of chat you'd have with your funniest, most unfiltered friends. Each episode is 15 to 20 minutes—perfect for your coffee break, school pickup line, or post-work wind-down.
This isn’t a how-to bartending show. It’s happy hour with your besties—where no topic is too weird, too deep, or too random. Grab your drink (boozy or not) and join us as we sip and chat our way through five recurring categories:
🍸 1. Booze Culture
We nerd out over spirits, bar trends, and everything in between. From “why are cocktails $22 now?” to “is this canned cocktail actually drinkable?”—we’re here for the highs, lows, and hilarious moments of drinking culture. No gatekeeping. Just good drinks, fun facts, and maybe a little gossip.
Episodes might include:
- What bartenders really think of your go-to order
- The rise of the mocktail movement
- Rating celebrity liquor brands (yes, we have opinions)
🌍 2. Travel
Most of our best stories start with “so I was on a trip...” From dreamy destinations to total travel fails, we’re sharing the good, the bad, and the jet-lagged.
Episodes might include:
- Our favorite underrated travel gems
- Airplane etiquette debates (to recline or not to recline?)
- Travel horror stories (and the cocktails that helped us recover)
🌟 3. Celebrity Lore
Not gossip. Not news. Just vibes. This is a pop culture rabbit hole with a cocktail chaser. We explore the weird, wild corners of celebrity culture that make us laugh, raise eyebrows, or wonder what’s really going on.
Episodes might include:
- PR relationships: stunt or soulmates?
- If celebrities were cocktails...
- Weirdest celebrity urban legends (and why we hope they’re true)
📰 4. Current Events
From viral TikToks to “Wait, WHAT?” news headlines, we’re sipping through the stories lighting up the internet. No serious debates—just curious questions and chaotic commentary.
Episodes might include:
- Trend or Trash: what’s hot this week
- Girl Math vs. Boy Math
- Florida Man and other wild headlines
🎲 5. Never Have I Ever / But Did You Die? / What’s Up With That?
This is our storytime and confession zone. We unpack travel regrets, ask each other wild questions, and deep-dive into whatever random topic we can't stop thinking about.
Episodes might include:
- Never Have I Ever: Travel Edition
- What’s up with bachelorette trips lately?
- “Wait, THIS happened in the news?!”
Why listen to Twist Happy Hour?
→ Because you want fun, smart, and slightly unhinged.
→ You love travel but don’t pack capsule wardrobes.
→ You have big opinions on celebrity breakups and Girl Math.
→ And honestly, you’d rather laugh through the chaos of the world with two ridiculous women than hear another monotone news podcast.
We’re here for the group chat energy. The deep dives and the dumb stuff. The cocktails and the chaos.
New episodes drop every Thursday.
Follow, subscribe, and bring a drink—it’s always happy hour here.

This week on Twist Happy Hour, we’re shaking up a Pear Winter Cooler and talking about the one thing no creator wants to experience: getting banned from TikTok. Keryn walks through a simple ginger-and-cinnamon pear drink you can make boozy or zero-proof, while Kate explains how she went from steady growth to opening the app and finding her account suddenly deactivated with no way to appeal.

It’s cock...
This week on Twist Happy Hour, we’re keeping it cozy and a little spicy. Karen walks Kate through an easy apple cider gin cocktail you can shake up on a weeknight, then we pivot to a very specific modern dilemma: adult PDA in public.

Consider this your fall drink how-to paired with a frank conversation about boundaries, etiquette, and why some moments are better saved for, well, anywhere but aisle seven. Wat...

Keryn just returned from Ireland with a suitcase full of small-batch gins, while Kate’s knee-deep in her own Irish citizenship process. What starts as a tour of juniper and seaweed botanicals turns into a deeper look at w...

From “Where are the Democrats?” to “Do we still have a functional two-party system?”, Keryn and Kate trade receipts, jokes, and real frustration about leadership, legislation, and the whiplash of today’s headlines. It’s equal parts cocktail and civic therapy — with Kate learning her jigger (finally) and Keryn pushing whiskey season like it’s a public service. Cocktail of the...
This week on Twist Happy Hour, we’re mixing up cocktails and culture with a colorful science experiment and a deep dive into language quirks.

This week on Twist Happy Hour, Karen and Kate kick things off with hibiscus tea, Amalfi Spritzes, and a little homestead gardening chat before diving into one of the hottest tech controversies right now: racist AI.

What happens when AI gets facts wrong, spreads harmful stereotypes, or is used without...
This week on Twist Happy Hour, we swap cocktails for coffee and dive headfirst into one of the darkest chapters of the Jeffrey Epstein saga: Jean-Luc Brunel.
