This week Mike sits down with bar manager Derrick Diggs of Willie B’s, the hot new lounge located in the Buchanan Arts District in North Nashville. Derrick tells his incredible story of being born in Ghana, growing up in Memphis, and unexpectedly going back to Ghana to finish high school and become a singer. Derrick also discusses the many frozen daiquiri options at Willie B’s and his “cheat code” for coming up with delicious beverages on the fly. Later, Kenneth checks in for some booze news in which he gets drunk at Walmart, and talks hemp seed vodka in Texas.
