Return of The Gaming Mixologost

Episode 129Download

It’s a leveled-up reunion nearly three years in the making!

After two years and 11 months, Frankie Francis (aka The Gaming Mixologist) is back in our ears! This wasn’t just a scheduled interview—it was destiny. After host Alicia coincidentally crossed paths with Frankie three times in a single week, we knew we had to get him back on the mic to see what he’s been up to.

Since his last appearance, Frankie’s digital presence has exploded, and he’s officially entered the world of merch! In this episode, we dive into:

The Modern Bar Scene: What are the “kids these days” actually doing in the world of nightlife? (The answer might surprise you!)

The Great Generation Debate: We try to settle once and for all which generation we actually belong to.

Leveling Up: Frankie talks about his growth in followers, views, and building a brand.

Bowling for Breath

Posted on by Alicia Unleashed

As many of you have seen on Facebook Kathy Ernest is a double lung transplant recipient. She is also our very own BSide’s mom. Kathy and her family and friends raised thousands of dollars to help medical costs back in 2020 prior to her surgery through an organization that was to help patients with costs.

In April 2024 that organization closed abruptly with no notice to its patients and leaving money that was donated to patients unaccounted for.

Kathy is now facing Lung and Kidney failure and now facing more medical costs.

BSide and her family are now faced with fundraising the money they lost all over again. With that a Bowling Tournament is being held on June 23rd at Cape Ann Lanes from 5-7pm to help raise funds for Kathy.

If interested, you can enter “Bowling for Breath” on Facebook or TeamKathyGal for more information.

Alicia Unleashed: Evolve Skin with Lindsey

Posted on by Alicia Unleashed

Episode 120 with Lindsey Mazzeo owner of Evolve Skin.

Listeners! If EVER there was an episode to listen to, THIS IS IT!

We discuss skin care, skin regiment, Lindsey’s own personal journey growing up with skin issues, putting in the work of 1200+ hours of schooling to become come an Esthetician, her gorgeous studio, the packages she has.

Honestly, the list goes on!

Did we mention she has her own product line?

Just listen to find out HOW OLD SHE IS!

ALICIA CRIES!

****slight correction Lindsey meant to say when it comes to toner, your skins natural ph is slightly acidic and applying water which is neutral will throw that off and lead to serums and moisturizers not working to their full potential.

Stop by her studio at 206 Main Street, Gloucester 01930
