Return of The Gaming Mixologost

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.

Honestly, the list goes on!

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

Fund will be used for sober living placement around New England. Jackie and Christian talk about how they started this, why they wanted to start this scholarship.

Alicia Unleashed- Summer Fun

  1. Episode 83: Recorded on location and poolside! Alicia and B-side are joined with the 1 and only Anna B.

You might follow her on Twitter, Insta, or you might be part of little known Facebook Page (you must listen to find out what).

Hot Plate: Lights Downtown, John Jerome at Studio this weekend, Espy Awards, Aly Raisman’s speech.

This episode is an OLD SCHOOL ALICIA UNLEASHED. We talk about so many things and so many circles. Dogs bark, neighbors talking, rando’s with loud mufflers.

We sit down and talk with Anna on how she got involved with this Facebook Page (great for lurking). We touch on a few specific posts that made the page more known. We ask where the line is drawn (spoiler alert…it’s like drawing one on the breakers at GHB), what is the page really meant to be about.

Anna is also a SOLO TRAVELER! She talks about how that started for her by meeting strangers through the BSB pen pal circuit (pre-social media). Anna discusses how she goes about seeing the most of these countries and cities and where she is off to next.

We also get in to Bossman Joey’s favorite! DATING! Anna talks about the troubles and tribulations she has had with dating, dating apps and just regular snapchat! We also give Tyler some straight up life lessons! START ‘EM YOUNG! Tyler also drops one of those Millennial Lines on us.

**Also, if you are a secret listener, that is perfectly fine you can hide in the shadows! We just want a rating on iTunes or Facebook (even a like)
