Adam has been around since he was eight years old. He grew up around Jon's house as his younger brothers best friend, graduated to full-time bartender at the Tap Room, became the Dwight Schrute of the operation, and is now the reason Jon and Keisha are driving through Scranton on the way to Philadelphia.
In this episode Jon and Keisha introduce the Philadelphia stop and the friends who make it worth the drive. Adam's New Year's Eve wedding — where the groom's drink was a Maker's Mark old fashioned served in a pint glass for seven dollars, where every staff member had to leave the reception to go open the bar at 9pm, and where Jon and Ben showed up in rare form and Emily was furious.
The Jeep that smelled like something nobody could name or confirm. The salmon pants that went down in the Sharpie incident of 2023. The fried rice elbow — two years of tendinitis from wok technique at the North Dakota State Fair at 1am. And the Philly taco, which is a New York slice wrapped around a Philly cheesesteak and eaten like a taco.
America turns 250 this June. Jon and Keisha will be in Philadelphia for it. Jon is not going to lick the Liberty Bell. Keisha is wearing a lobster bib at the reception. Kenya has an MD. Adam still owes Keisha a beer she never got to drink while pregnant.

What is JK LOL Storytime?
Some podcasts are produced. This one is just us. Jon and Keisha sit down every week in their basement and talk about their lives — the funny parts, the hard parts, and the parts that are both at the same time. They come from hospitality, from dental offices, from bars that smelled like old wood and good whiskey, and from the kind of hard seasons that either break you or make you exactly who you needed to become.
This summer they're taking their wedding on the road. Nine ceremonies. Nine cities. Two countries. One father on a Harley. JK LOL Storytime is where it all starts.
