Happy Hour Hacks: Spills, Thrills and Questionable Gadgets
7/1/202641 min
This week on Bottoms Up! Alan Carr and Lee Peart return to Pied à Terre in Central London, where they get off to a messy start…
Lee’s got a few things he needs to get off his chest, while Alan’s more concerned about what’s on his head. They’re chatting musicals, discussing horoscopes and inventing new cocktails.
Plus wine expert and author of The Alcorithm Rob Buckhaven joins the boys for a gadget special, sharing tips and hacks to keep the wine flowing (with mixed results). It’s fair to say Lee’s a fan of gadgets, but Alan is not quite so easily impressed..!
