If Mike does not accept the challenge he needs to donate $25 to the charity of his choice! Once Mike completes his obligation and submits his video he will nominate the next person. Much like the Ice Bucket Challenge!

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.
