  • Negroni Nights: The Life of a Showgirl, AI in Finance and Law
    Oct 23 2025

    In this episode of Negroni Nights, Lawrence and Patrick start behind the screen—discussing how artificial intelligence is reshaping industries like finance and law. From predictive analytics on Wall Street to AI-assisted brief writing in the courtroom, we ask whether the machines are making our jobs easier or just raising the bar for what humans have to deliver.

    Then we shift from algorithms to artistry with a look at Taylor Swift’s new era: “The Life of a Showgirl.” Is it commentary, reinvention, or marketing genius? We break down what it says about the modern American icon and how performance personas evolve in the age of spectacle.

    So grab a Negroni, loosen the tie, and join us for a conversation that blends culture, cocktails, curiosity, and a steaming hot take—Bada Bing Bayou style.

  • Negroni Nights - Pilot - How Bada Bing Bayou Was Created
    Oct 7 2025

    Two friends, one Negroni, and a wild idea. In our kickoff, we tell the real origin story of Bada Bing Bayou: the kitchen-table napkin sketch, borrowed mics, the first shoot in a too-hot garage, and the neighbor’s leaf blower cameo. Why the name, why South Louisiana, and why Italian-American stories that feel like Sunday dinner.

    We share what bombed, what clicked, and the moment the format finally sang. You’ll hear our scrappy workflow (book it, shoot it, fix it in the edit), the gear glow-ups, favorite bloopers, and how the community jumped in to shape the show. It’s personal, messy, and fun—exactly how we like it.
