Brokers and Booze Podcast

Thee Nuts & Berries Shot & Overrated/Underrated Pt 2 | EP 67 Well, we don't always do shots on the show, but when we do we like it custom made from Pine Lakes Tavern in Myrtle Beach, SC. The "Nuts and Berries" taste pretty much like it sounds...and we think they could have probably thrown it over some rocks in a glass and been a great dessert cocktail. Oh, and are you ready for Overrated/U...

The "PLT" & Overrated/Underrated Pt 1 | EP 66 Every once in a while, we get to introduce the world to a new drink that never existed before! The "PLT" is just that, named after the Pine Lakes Tavern in Myrtle Beach, SC. Malibu Rum, and tropical juice with a splash of soda, this is the perfect way to end summer. AND, we decide to steal, we mean replicate/copy out of admiration (sorr...

The "Billifer" & Summertime Vibes | EP 65 Summer is coming to a close so we thought we would take an episode and just chillax a little. You know, summer summer time chillin' vibes and a discussion around what our typical fun summer may look like. We have a lot of vacationers here in the Myrtle Beach, SC area that save all year to come here. Brokers and Booze on the other hand lives the lif...

Franziskaner Weissbier Beer & Agent Retention| EP 64 We try beer brewed by monks for hundreds of years while ironically talking about the age old questions for brokers, how to keep agent? Agent retention is the counter point to agent recruiting (go check out EP 63 last episode) and it is just as important in your balance to brokerage growth. So cheers to this discussion!

Diplomatico Rum & Get Ready To Recruit | EP 63 Rum is one of those spirits that we believe fits well in the summer time. From mixed drinks poolside, or on the beach. Or maybe just our fantasy of being pirates. Either way, we have a very special vintage from south of our borders to feature on todays show. And speaking of pirates, we have a nice little discussion about agent recruiting, which when y...

4TH of July 2021 & Smirnoff Patriotic Seltzer | HOLIDAY EP Happy Independence Day! It's the 4th of July weekend here in the USA and we are excited to come to you from a beach front condo in Myrtle Beach, courtesy of Eagle Beach Rentals (www. EagleResorts.com) of course! We found a patriotic seltzer from Smirnoff. Chris has yet to find a seltzer outside of Vizzy that he actually will say he "li...

Let's Talk Crypto w/ Hawk & Horse 2011 Cabernet | EP62 So maybe a little off the real estate topic, in a sense, but we bring it back around a little. A very special red wine episode with tasting notes direct from Gary Vee and Winetext.com - this 2011 Hawk and Horse Cabernet was a steal from WineText. When we mix it with conversation about Gary Vee and his NFT release, that we bought some of, well...

Let's Talk Winning w/ Don Julio Reposado | EP61 Ok, normally I (Chris) don't think "winning" and #tequila belong in the same sentence, but I may be out numbered at our table. As Billy says, this is a sipper, not a shooter. He even has special glasses just for tequila. Chris does not find this fascinating at all LOL. But, what all three of us can agree on is that we are striving to win. Not...

Fannie & Freddie w/ Colonel E.H. Taylor | EP60 A unique bourbon whisky our host Bill Yates found. Maybe one of the older bourbons we have had. But we got serious for a moment to talk about changes in Freddie and Fannie Mac that affect our real estate business. We would love to hear your thoughts on the changes coming down the financial lending side of our industry and how you think it will affect...

Happy Cinco De Mayo! 2021 | EP59 Apologies in advance for the sounds quality as this episode of the podcast was recorded LIVE on CInco De Mayo on location at Taco Mundo in Barefoot Landing, North Myrtle Beach. We made a quick lunch stop to record a live-stream (check it out on Facebook for the full visual effect and you won't be dissapointed), some Tequilla and Tacos (well, Chris had the Tacos at...

A Bloody Mary and Market Updates | EP58 We could have called the episode " Bloody Mary's and A Bloody Market" because it's brutal out there! Speaking of brutal, our homemade bloody mary could have been a little better in Chris's opinion, but he also had no base of comparison since he had never had one before. Nick had a virgin bloody Mary (is that just called a "Mary"? or a "Bl...

We Play A Game, While Drinking O'Douls | EP57 Ok - so we wanted to have a little (apparently non-alcoholic) fun. While we believe there are some games possibly more fun with a few cocktails, at least in this one our answers are somewhat logical. We kid around a lot...maybe too much at times...but we hope you not only learn a little about each of us, but also can play along some! See if you can gue...

"Disney" Gin & Tonic w/ Zillow Thoughts | EP56 So Mr Yates decided to bring back a special Gin and Tonic mix from the Disney area of Orlando. Actually, I think it was out of St. Augustine now that we think about it. Either way, it's from Florida! Ha! And even though we have had Gin on the show beofre, with less than stellar enthusiasm, this one surprised us - or at least Chris. We think we...

Protein 20 & 75 Hard | EP55 Well we finally took the leap. We all gave up alcohol for good...we're just kidding, because that would mean we probably have to give up Real Estate too! LOL. (again, kidding). But, one of our hosts, Mr Sowers, is doing the 75 day challenge by Andy Frisella, so in the spirit of support we let him try a new protein drink along with a vigorous discussion on the importance...

Muckety-Muck Whisky & Escalation Clauses | EP54 This may be the most expensive bottle of Whisky we have ever had on the show. Ok, I'm pretty sure this is the most expensive bottle of whisky we have had on the show. Muckety-Muck makes an appearance to help us get through the discussion of "escalation clauses" in contracts that seems to be a growing trend in our industry. We may not all agre...

Stella Artois and Crazy Talk! | EP53 Let's get back to basics with a well know beverage. Stella Artois (no, we didn't do the cool knife to remove the extra head form the top of the glass), but we did enjoy a nice beer-kind of conversation. We all have crazy, or unique, stories from our real estate career. And if you don't, don't worry, you will eventually. People even do whole podcasts around craz...

Avion Tequila & Continuing Education Discussion | EP52 Well, they got Chris to try Tequila once again. Guess what, it still tastes like tequila! Well, at least Bill and Nick seem to like it. What you may like even better than the drink topic is the real estate topic. How do you feel about continuing education for our real estate industry? Now this does vary per state, so we would love to hear what...

Happy Valentines Day w/ a Pinot Noir and Moving Trends | EP51 Love is in the air...well for most at least. We thought this episode was perfect for a little light Pinot Noir that you might want to share with someone special this Valentines Day. (or, maybe just for yourself ha). We also have seen some big trends across the country when it comes to moving (buying and selling) real estate in 2020. Did...

Happy Super Bowl! | EP50 Well, we recorded this obviously before the Super Bowl LV started. And...I don't quite think we had correct predictions LOL. But we had a good time and we hope you did as well! A special treat and guest on this episode, Dr. Travis Stoner who brought us a Whiskey-Bourbon distilled in his county of Virginia. A great cocktail to have while watching the biggest sporting event...

David Arthur Napa Red & Creating A Frictionless Closing | EP49 You know we love a good Red as debate real estate related things. And David Arthur doesn't dissapoint. This Napa reed is juicy on the front with a smooth finish. Drinking above our pay grade as Nick said. We also wanted to take this episode to talk some things of value for our Realtor audience. How are you making the transaction as smo...

Agent Branding & Hilton Head Distillery Rum | EP48 This may be one of the most unique Rums we have tried on the show. In fact, one of the hosts, Chris, makes a distinct tasting note that many of you will be able to connect with the flavor we experience. Not to mention, every time the Rum comes out so to does the pirate nature LOL. But instead of finding treasure we decided to give some treasure (s...

Let's Get Tactical & Noah's Mill Bourbon | EP47 We want to provide as much value as we can to our Realtor audience and to help grow your career...and if we can drink Bourbon in the process, then yes! This rare bottle from the Willett family of distilleries, Noah's Mill, was tasty once you got past the initial burn. The flavors came out after the first taste. As far as the ideas to help you succeed...

Starting Off 2021 & Purity Vodka 51 | EP46 It's #2021 - so how are you gonna start the year Realtors? How about with some smooth vodka distilled an awesome amount of 51 times, once for each week you are gonna crush this year (and then one week of vacation of course). We take a quick look back at 2020 and see what we want to carry into the new year (a little) and what we want to leave behind ( a lo...

Happy New Year 2021 & Champagne | EP45 Can we get a "what what" for all my people ready for 2020 to be in the rear view?! Let's pop bottles (we did) raise a toast (we do) and cheers to a new year, 2021! Happy new year from the Brokers and Booze podcast fellas!

Christmas 2020 & The Save Frosty Cocktail | EP44 Christmas is here! We are excited to feature a very very Christmas cocktail from Twelve33 Distillery called “Save Frosty”. Using their in-house liqueur, Santa’s Little Helper. It was delicious! We wanted to take this podcast episode and really just share some Christmas and holiday memories, traditions, and maybe let our audience see and hear what Ch...
