00:00 All right, friend of the show, Nadine Bumag is here today to give us a little taste or
00:05 sip of the Local Love February issue of the Paradise Valley City Lifestyle magazine.
00:12 And we want to thank Paradise Valley City Lifestyle magazine for sponsoring this segment.
00:15 So Nadine, we're so excited to chat about this.
00:18 Tell us all about the Love.
00:19 This is a fun one.
00:20 It is the Love issue of Paradise Valley City Lifestyle.
00:23 That's great.
00:24 So we have our golden couple, Michael and Nicole Phelps.
00:28 We had an exclusive photo shoot with their entire family just months before baby Nico
00:34 was born.
00:35 Oh my goodness.
00:36 Now, Nicole and Michael, they have three boys.
00:37 It was the best photo shoot ever.
00:38 I was in my element with all little boys running around.
00:41 I was going to say, that's like your world.
00:42 You had three boys, so you were just like at home.
00:45 But she added one more to the mix.
00:48 And baby Nico was- Another boy?
00:49 Yes, another boy.
00:50 Oh my gosh, wow.
00:51 Yep, they have four boys, four beautiful boys.
00:53 And it was such an honor doing this beautiful story.
00:56 I mean, it's just gorgeous.
00:58 These photos are stunning.
00:59 I mean, the quality of this is just absolutely gorgeous.
01:02 So everybody who is in the mood for love this February season, we've got a gorgeous couple
01:07 and a beautiful family right there for you.
01:08 And we also learned that not only is Michael the probably most decorated Olympian of all
01:13 time, he is amazing in the kitchen.
01:16 So Nicole will find things on Instagram and send it and be like, "Hey, will you try this
01:20 tonight?
01:21 Will you try this night?"
01:22 And apparently he makes a Maine chicken Parmesan.
01:24 Oh, wow.
01:25 That sounds, oh my gosh.
01:26 I'm Italian, that's like my go-to.
01:27 And my last question was, I was like, "Has Michael ever let you win in a race in the
01:31 pool?"
01:32 She goes, "It's physically impossible because my fastest swim is his slowest stroke."
01:40 Oh no.
01:41 I know.
01:42 But it's so cute.
01:43 Well, that's okay.
01:44 He does what he does, she does what she does, and they have a beautiful family and make
01:45 it work.
01:46 Okay, but I think now we need to get to this.
01:47 I was going to say, we have to talk about what's on the table because this is incredible,
01:51 this display.
01:52 So tell me about what we got here.
01:53 Well, I'm not going to tell you.
01:54 I'm going to bring in my friend, Haley.
01:56 All right, Haley, come on over.
01:57 B&B Cocktail Lounge, we did a great piece on them in February about what to drink and
02:01 eat this month for Valentine's Day.
02:03 And I'm going to step away because I want to see some drink magic.
02:06 This is what I want to drink for Valentine's Day.
02:07 So tell me about what we have.
02:08 I'll drink all of them.
02:09 Tell me about what we have here on the display.
02:11 Well, this is the perfect way to celebrate Galentine's Day.
02:14 You bring in your best girlfriends, you go to the B&B Cocktail Lounge, you all order
02:19 martinis and you get this sparkling tower.
02:22 This is gorgeous.
02:23 It is sparkling.
02:24 That's delicious.
02:25 Oh, my gosh.
02:26 Yeah.
02:27 Every one of those cocktails looks incredible.
02:28 But there's also a smoke show.
02:29 Oh, yeah.
02:30 It's not just us.
02:31 Not just you.
02:32 OK.
02:33 Do you want to see that?
02:34 Yes, please.
02:35 OK.
02:36 OK.
02:37 Let's you got to smoke up this martini.
02:38 So this martini is going to be made with mezcal.
02:41 A lot of people are a little worried about the mezcal and the taste of the smokiness.
02:45 It's delicious.
02:46 But it is so much fun.
02:49 And it is so light and refreshing.
02:51 And then if you talk about presentation, we all see that smoke.
02:55 We smell it.
02:56 Yeah, it is absolutely amazing.
02:59 Oh, my gosh.
03:00 I'll bet this cocktail is gorgeous.
03:01 It is a showstopper.
03:02 And it's still five o'clock somewhere, right?
03:03 There you go.
03:04 100 percent.
03:05 OK.
03:06 Can you imagine this coming to your table when you're doing Galentine's with your friends?
03:09 Like this is so incredible.
03:10 Wow.
03:11 But you can also share a drink.
03:12 Have you ever seen a martini glass this big?
03:13 I wasn't sure if this was a martini glass.
03:14 This is actually just for you.
03:15 I don't know.
03:16 What is this for you?
03:17 So what are we putting in here today?
03:24 We have our up all night espresso martini.
03:26 Oh, my gosh.
03:28 Espresso martinis are having a comeback right now.
03:30 They are.
03:31 They really are.
03:32 We are going to start with some ice.
03:33 We are going to start with some ice.
03:34 Get that shaken up.
03:35 And you can get these at the lounge and everybody throws in a little straw and you just have
03:38 a night.
03:39 It is this is so fun.
03:41 Another great Galentine's right here because all of your girls can come together.
03:44 Right.
03:45 To enjoy this.
03:46 And you can get a straw like the old school, you know, milkshake.
03:49 Yeah.
03:50 Where everybody has a straw.
03:51 Incredible.
03:52 Except it's an espresso martini.
03:53 That's even better.
03:54 Which is way better.
03:55 Way better.
03:56 All right.
03:57 So you're going to show us the magic here.
03:58 I am.

04:00 Well, it's extra big.
04:01 Look at the glass.
04:02 Yeah.
04:03 This is incredible.

04:07 And this is what you guys are known for at B&B.
04:09 This is one of your signatures.
04:11 We have a whole giant martinis.
04:13 And we have a whole menu dedicated to espresso martinis.

04:25 This is so much fun.
04:26 And I'm going to top this.
04:27 This is my favorite part.
04:28 I can't deal with this.
04:29 It's like dessert.
04:30 With the best.
04:32 This is so perfect for February, for the month of love.
04:36 Sorry guys.
04:37 And you can do the Galentine's, but you could also bring in, you know, some double dates
04:38 in there.
04:39 Yes.
04:40 Or these onion rings.
04:41 I mean, look at it.
04:43 I mean, even just for you and your sweet heart.
04:47 That's the that's perfect.
04:48 OK, so some whipped cream and a little bit of that drizzle.
04:53 Delicious.
04:54 So, like you said, one of those old style straws.
04:58 Oh, my gosh, that's incredible.
05:01 And then, of course, you guys also have some delicious actual desserts over here.
05:04 You have a whole menu for a full menu.
05:06 We have a three course menu that we're holding.
05:08 So you get a choice of two salads.
05:11 You get a choice of an entree to share with your loved one or your girlfriend and a dessert
05:16 at the end.
05:17 You can also do a sparkling toast right here.
