Welcome to this week’s show… Join us as we take you through recent obituaries. Seems like not a day goes by without yet another toast to kicking the bucket. No worries, Happy Hour will help you sort out who’s who in this latest fad of untimely death.
Its officially Summer on the Gregorian calendar and the weather outside is proof the apocalypse will one day come.
But no June is complete without our favorite playlist. Leslie and Tori and the Happy Hour crew picked our top songs to sing this summer - and with all the creativity they could muster - all of the songs include the word SUMMER!
Actually, we start the top 19 Summer Jams with the only title sans ’summer,’ so beg for sunshine while Donna Summer tells us what Bad Girls we’ve been…

On today’s show, Leslie and Tori are just talking. That’s it. Just like in the old times!
And here is Tori’s favorite music video from the old times, this artifact from the past sadly has fewer views on YouTube than the video of a pomeranian puppy being born, posted by Leslie last year (see that one also below):
This summer Happy Hour is taking you on a world tour of our favorite bars, shops, local bums to throw a penny to and best couches to crash on. (Don’t stop at Tori’s place). And of course we will start our warped tour with the enchanting Astoria - home of your very own Happy Hour wonder women.
Our guest in the studio is Rob, neighborhood guru, and he has an opinion on just about every drink and dessert in our beloved ‘hood. His reviews will make the saliva drip from your hot summer lips.
Here’s a complete list of all our top Astoria picks. We even bothered to list the websites for you:
Kaufman Astoria Studios
Socrates Sculpture Park
Vesta Trattoria & Wine Bar
The Bohemian Hall and Beer Garden
Ovelia Restaurant
Il Bambino Restaurant
Rapture Lounge
Crescent Lounge
Sac’s Place Pizza
Break Bar & Billiards
So, if your summer plans include the Big Apple, don’t be a stranger to Queens. Manhattanites hate tourists. Ride the yellow trains across the East River and enjoy the Greek, Brazilian, Mexican and plethora of flavor in one of the best boroughs in the world. 5 million people live here - we know what we’re drinking.
And of course if your a devoted HH listener, you must let us know you’re here and we’ll have you on the show. Lucky you.
Send us your random news, drink recipes, rants and praises! We love to hear from our fans and foes: cheers@HappyHourShow.com
We have two very exciting guests today. This ain’t your daddy’s sketchy comedy. Welcome The Ice Cream Socialists.
We’ve all needed the Drunk-a-Boo stroller. Find out what accessories you should custom order, Kristin Sears and Minna Richardson of the Ice Cream Socialists are in the studio today, ready to take your order.
Generalize. Discriminate. What’s the difference?
And sometimes those pathetic people trying their best at stand up and failing miserably are the ones we laugh the at the most. Or at least Leslie finds them funny.
Watch this one of many awesome videos by the Ice Cream Socialists, it’s an Infomercial for “Drunk-A-Boo Stroller”, the first line of strollers for the publicly wasted.

In an effort to be a fair and balanced show for our listeners, we’d like to take the opportunity to exploit a different group of people on today’s show: the Jews. Our latest victim in the studio will be Jess, a bona fide, but of course non-practicing, Jewess.
What does kosher really mean, do all Madoff victims live in Miami and what does a lady serve when she says she invites a man up for tea and scones?
Its all about the money and the matzo…and some very inappropriate dating stories from Jess - and they don’t involve boys with yarmulkes.
Today is all about being good and doing good for others. Yes - it is possible!
Our guest today is Tony B., returning for his third appearance on the Happy Hour show. We will chat about his new project aimed at helping people while helping himself. He is fit and fabulous and saving lives.
And believe it or not - Tori has something to contribute on today’s show. Leslie - maybe not…
Also - check out our online Poll on which will be next to legalize same-sex marriage. Tell us what you think and we’ll announce the results on the next week’s show!
Due to a clog in the Internet’s series of tubes last week, some of our listeners were unable to hear last week’s show (5/5/2009), so we are repeating it. Get to know Benjie Randall and his enchanting voice all over again, cry when you hear his song “for mom”, and learn about Leslie and Tori’s alternative uses for nasal sprays.
Now that Connecticut, Iowa, Maine, Massachusetts and Vermont have done it, which state do you think will be next to legalize same sex unions? Will it be California, New York, or the unexpected underdog Wyoming? Vote here now to find out what you and the rest of the world think about this on the next episode of the Happy Hour show with Leslie and Tori!
Our mini hiatus, vacation, trip to rehab is over, and we are pleased to announce the third season of Happy Hour, and it all begins today. Feliz Cinco de Mayo!!! Get out the tequila and Corona because it is going to be one crazy summer.
Today Leslie and Tori welcome Benjie Randall in the studio. His self titled, first debut album is out, and you get an exclusive chat with the artist while we listen to some tracks. Get out your tissues while he talks about the song he wrote for his mother. His album is also available on iTunes and would make a great Mother’s Day gift (hint hint).
Get all the fabulousness that is Benjie by going to www.benjierandall.com
