Ask us a question? Send us a Message! After a 3 month hiatus, Koko and Jeff Lam are back behind the microphones and catching up on everything that happened while they were away. In this candid and entertaining episode of The Heavily Buzzed Podcast, they open up about the importance of listening to your body, prioritizing your health, and why ignoring warning signs can come at a cost. The conversation takes plenty of turns as they dive into Gen Z "icks," including the surprisingly controversial topic of not drinking alcohol, and share their thoughts on current must-watch television like Your Friends & Neighbors and the legacy of Michael's unforgettable movie and TV moments. They also take a nostalgic trip down memory lane, discussing the films that shaped their childhoods and the movies that still hold a special place in their hearts today. Along the way, Koko and Jeff explore the growing popularity of the phrase "It's Not That Deep" and why sometimes life becomes a lot easier when we stop overcomplicating every situation. From recovery and self-care to entertainment, nostalgia, and personal growth, this episode is all about finding balance, giving yourself permission to rest, and remembering that not everything needs to be a dramatic production. And of course, no episode of Heavily Buzzed would be complete without a featured spirit. This week they're sipping on the brand-new Jura 12-Year-Old Sherry Cask, a beautifully rich and surprisingly refreshing whisky packed with sweet fruit, warm spice, and sherried goodness that makes for a perfect summer dram. Pour yourself a glass, settle in, and welcome Koko and Jeff back for a conversation that's thoughtful, hilarious, and sometimes not that deep. Thanks for listening! Follow us on Instagram!

Ask us a question? Send us a Message! After a heroic two-month hiatus that started as Dry January and somehow… emotionally spilled into February, Koko and Jeff Lam are back behind the mics and ready to make up for lost buzz. 🍸 If it sounds like we're walking around our place while recording this, we may have been a little active and the mics weren't ready for our madness! 😛 We apologize in advance! In this Pre-Oscars episode of the Heavily Buzzed Podcast, the duo introduces a brand-new segment: “What’s the Buzz?” where nothing is off the table and everything is fair game. From the realities of menopause to shifting world views, from the best spirits worth sipping to the generational chaos of Gen X vs. Gen Z, Koko and Jeff dive headfirst into the topics everyone’s talking about (and a few people are avoiding). Of course, with the Oscars around the corner, they’re breaking down their movie picks, predictions, and passionate opinions, including potential snubs like Rental Family starring Brendan Fraser and the long-awaited Marty Supreme with Timothée Chalamet. 🎬 Yes, there will still be a spirit or two making a guest appearance this is Heavily Buzzed after all, but this season the conversation goes a little deeper. Because life isn’t always just cocktails and punchlines. Sometimes it’s about talking honestly about the stuff that matters… even if it gets a little uncomfortable. So grab a drink (or don’t, we respect the break), settle in, and find out what’s buzzing. 🐝 Thanks for listening! Follow us on Instagram!

Ask us a question? Send us a Message! In this beautifully buzzed episode of Heavily Buzzed, hosts Koko and Jeff Lam are joined by the ever smooth and delightfully knowledgeable Daniel Schöll, the German Brand Ambassador for the House of Suntory. Together, they take a spirited journey through the rich and refined world of Japanese whisky. We dive deep into the legendary legacy of Suntory how it all began, the philosophy behind the craftsmanship, and why Japanese whisky is basically the liquid embodiment of precision and harmony. Along the way, we sip (okay, savor) two absolute stunners: the elegant Hibiki Harmony and the iconic Yamazaki 18, treating each pour with the reverence of a master samurai on a spiritual quest… with a healthy buzz, of course. But it’s not all just whisky talk we also explore the cultural art of saying “No” the Japanese way: thoughtful, polite, and just ambiguous enough to make you question everything. It’s the kind of subtle social judo you didn’t know you needed. Tune in for laughs, sips, stories, and the occasional deep thought wrapped in a whisky haze. Kanpai, friends this one’s a smooth ride.
