1
00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:07,920
Speaker 1: Hey, this is Annie and Samantha. I'm welcome to Stephan

2
00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:19,520
Speaker 1: ever told you production of I High Radio, and welcome

3
00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:26,440
Speaker 1: to another edition of Happy Hour. Today we are slipping

4
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:30,800
Speaker 1: on a newish drink, a non alcoholic but very caffeinated

5
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:34,519
Speaker 1: option here in Atlanta bat Bat Soda and meaning like

6
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:39,440
Speaker 1: bats B A T, B A T and any an hour.

7
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:42,840
Speaker 1: Just realizing that both of our can say something different

8
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:47,680
Speaker 1: because I have the black coffee soda and any you have.

9
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 1: I have the Gore cola, very cute labels, by the way,

10
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:57,160
Speaker 1: and all my cans says the drink bat Bat Soda

11
00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:02,000
Speaker 1: was concocted in eighteen sixty six by Mrs Danielle Glasky

12
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:06,040
Speaker 1: and Atlanta native. In the beginning, Mrs Glaskey promoted her

13
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 1: drink as a remedy for drowsiness and sold the syrup

14
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:16,880
Speaker 1: to local soda fountains and soon became phenomenally successful. Yeah,

15
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 1: mine has a picture of a bat and it says

16
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 1: more Gore, they said, dripping oozing with flavor never before

17
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 1: seen her tasted a cola with hypnotic qualities featuring cherry

18
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 1: vanilla coffee and a secret bleund of spices derived from

19
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 1: our recipe found in a bat cave deep in the

20
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:38,400
Speaker 1: woods of Atlanta. I like that as always listeners, drink

21
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 1: responsibly and uh, if you are choosing to drink something

22
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 1: alcoholic or even caffeinated, drink responsibly. As in fact, I

23
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 1: have not had coffee today because these two these have

24
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 1: a lot of caffeine in them, a lot. So they

25
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 1: wired me up. I'm gonna be like loopy and a

26
00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 1: couple of round So she was successful in her remedy

27
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 1: for drowsy and so being responsible and not having my

28
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 1: heart flutter away. This is my first thick. I'm gonna

29
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:12,679
Speaker 1: quickly open in mind because it is carbonated. Oh, I

30
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:15,240
Speaker 1: smell that coffee nice and brew And by the way,

31
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 1: if you live in Atlanta in and you happen too,

32
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:21,799
Speaker 1: one some day actually delivered to your doorstep like they

33
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 1: hand deliver. I believe Danielle was the one that actually

34
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:28,360
Speaker 1: delivered to my place. Turns out I think she and

35
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:30,080
Speaker 1: I have mutual friends. So I was like, oh cool,

36
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 1: Atlanta so small, but yes, very coffee like mm hmmm,

37
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 1: taking a sip. Oh, yes, yes, so I've had a

38
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:46,360
Speaker 1: carbonated coffee before. It's so unusual, it's like it's not

39
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:49,799
Speaker 1: it's delicious. Actually, the nice and Sweet has that coffee

40
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,639
Speaker 1: robust net of course, but at the same time it's

41
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:55,360
Speaker 1: shocking because it it is carbonated. But I really do

42
00:02:55,520 --> 00:03:00,080
Speaker 1: enjoy this. Yeah, I do too. Um, it's pretty I

43
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 1: find it pretty refreshing. It's hard to describe. It's almost

44
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:05,680
Speaker 1: like the sparkling water of coffee, which is obviously because

45
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:08,640
Speaker 1: it's carbonated, but it's kind of got that light you know,

46
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:12,800
Speaker 1: there's the flavors there, but it's not overpowering. I guess

47
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,679
Speaker 1: it's very well balanced. So you have the cola one

48
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:20,399
Speaker 1: is it? Does it still taste like coffee? Mm hmmm, Yes,

49
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:23,920
Speaker 1: it does still taste like coffee, but I think the

50
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 1: it's probably not as robust. And I've had the one

51
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 1: you have. You're drinking a lot. Shout out to my

52
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 1: friend Barry, who was keeping me supplied and helping these

53
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 1: episodes get made with this is definitely your idea. And

54
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 1: also oh yeah, as in fact, when I was getting delivered,

55
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 1: I told Danielle was like, so yeah, my co host

56
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 1: drinks it all the time, and that's part of the

57
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 1: reason why we're doing this episode. Yep. I always get

58
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 1: a warning too. I drink a bat that let's go. Yes, yeah,

59
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 1: they really do impact in quite a bit it. I

60
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 1: had to plan around did doing this because you're gonna

61
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 1: get way too ip for if you do your normal

62
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 1: tube cups of coffee in the morning, and this can't

63
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 1: can't be done because yes, I haven't had my coffee yet.

64
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 1: And I was like, you know what, I least make

65
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:17,600
Speaker 1: this a cocktail because she actually has done cocktails with

66
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 1: this as well, so I know she did win with

67
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 1: curosel and the I think the black coffee and apparently

68
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:25,719
Speaker 1: it's like a good holiday favorite, which I don't have that,

69
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:27,159
Speaker 1: so I don't have that option to make it. But

70
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:29,360
Speaker 1: I decided I was going to just make it coffee

71
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 1: esque and do the Irish cream in mine. Nice. Nice.

72
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 1: It feels like I'm eating a coffee ice cream or

73
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 1: drinking a coffee ice cream kind of so, but the

74
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:42,360
Speaker 1: taste is really delightful. I do enjoy that. It's definitely

75
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:44,159
Speaker 1: still like I think I had a whole can of

76
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:48,279
Speaker 1: it before, and I was like, oh, yeah, okay, I

77
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 1: see it. I see white people because I definitely only

78
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:52,720
Speaker 1: drink one cup of coffee and it's still half of

79
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:54,920
Speaker 1: what this is and in the can feel like there's

80
00:04:54,960 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 1: so much more in this can. But yeah, I I

81
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 1: think was it the cinnamon roll episode. There was an

82
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 1: episode where I made a cinnamon roll, which again is

83
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:08,800
Speaker 1: a cocktail that Samantha makes this sort of like coffee

84
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 1: hot chocolate situation with whiskey and other things. But I

85
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:15,360
Speaker 1: read it once with this and it was pretty nice.

86
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 1: Pretty nice. This is nice. Yeah, And so going back

87
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 1: to we didn't talk a little bit about the coffee world,

88
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:24,800
Speaker 1: Danielle Glasky has been a part of the coffee community

89
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 1: here in Atlanta, and she is actually a veteran of

90
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 1: the coffee industry. Uh. And I will say as you

91
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:35,280
Speaker 1: as you mentioned Samantha, Atlanta does feel kind of small.

92
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 1: Sometimes people love that bat like I think I had.

93
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 1: I was just walking around with a sticker or something

94
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 1: with it, and people were like, oh, yeah, I love

95
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 1: that bad like people the log in the in the like, uh,

96
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:52,920
Speaker 1: the design is really smart and I want a hoodie

97
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:56,040
Speaker 1: I think or something. I was like, I want one

98
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 1: of those. Those are fun, yes, but like to that.

99
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 1: And Danielle Glasky has been featured in a lot of

100
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:09,119
Speaker 1: articles and on websites around roundabouts the internet, I guess,

101
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 1: but like local Atlanta websites, and in one article here's

102
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 1: a quote. Bat Bat Soda is a beverage company offering

103
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:20,920
Speaker 1: naturally caffeinated sodas. The founder, Danielle Glaski, is a fifteen

104
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:23,920
Speaker 1: year coffee veteran from Atlanta. Bat Bat skulls to create

105
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 1: a refreshing, sparkling iced coffee drink. Each flavor compliments the

106
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:31,920
Speaker 1: selected single origin coffee's profile. Every batch is hot brewd

107
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:35,040
Speaker 1: to extract the full spectrum of coffee flavor, then chilled

108
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 1: and lightly sweetened with organic cane sugar. Finally, the carbonation

109
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:43,839
Speaker 1: lifts the palette and creates a chuggable, ever presant beverage.

110
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:47,719
Speaker 1: Our first flavor available in cans is black Coffee Soda

111
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:50,880
Speaker 1: and we look forward to releasing Goura Cola Root of

112
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 1: All Evil and others in the future. They make for

113
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:58,039
Speaker 1: excellent non alcoholic options at bars and restaurants, easy pickups

114
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:01,160
Speaker 1: for cafes, and unique mixers for Tale program. I think

115
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:05,720
Speaker 1: she Uh worked in UH, one of the local favorite

116
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 1: spiller coffee here in Atlanta, and from what I gathered,

117
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 1: I really would like to know, and and I should

118
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 1: have done this before, but we were trying to quickly

119
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 1: record this, ask her how she even thought of this

120
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 1: and why she decided that this needs to be sold

121
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:23,080
Speaker 1: and needs to be a product, because it you kind

122
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 1: of think of things like that, especially with the phenomenon

123
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 1: of like the soda stream. I know that you now

124
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 1: have the fancy version where you can make everything a

125
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 1: bubble drink, including liquors and such, which my partner when

126
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 1: we got Hours, really wanted to do that with Hours

127
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 1: and even with us going no, you can't, you can't. Yeah,

128
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 1: quickly learned. But this was before that point in time

129
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 1: when like for me, especially like realizing this should be

130
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 1: a thing. Oh my god. So I am really fascinated

131
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 1: about how she came about this um and from their

132
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:57,880
Speaker 1: own site that bat soda dot com, they say, we

133
00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 1: sought to combine our favorite beverage with refreshing element carbonation,

134
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 1: and I don't love carbonation. What came was the vision

135
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 1: for naturally caffeinated soft drinks utilizing the natural flavors derived

136
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:13,840
Speaker 1: from real fruit and spices with organic cane sugar. Are

137
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 1: hot brewed and flash chilled coffees capture a complete flavor

138
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 1: profile of our selected coffees. Our coffee choices are specific

139
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:25,120
Speaker 1: to each flavor profile designed to compliment or enhance the

140
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 1: flavor of each soda. So yeah, like they are very

141
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 1: thoughtful in what they do. Um, the pictures are hilarious

142
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:35,600
Speaker 1: because they are They're obviously very cool kids from Atlanta

143
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:38,320
Speaker 1: that I'm like, you know, have mutuals. I'm like, yeah, y'all,

144
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:39,959
Speaker 1: y'all are two gold for me. I don't think y'a

145
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 1: would invite me to your circle. It's okay, it's okay. Yeah,

146
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 1: you have me always you And I'm very proud to

147
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:49,920
Speaker 1: say this. But also like she has been a part

148
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 1: of the coffee industry, and I have a lot of

149
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:54,960
Speaker 1: friends who are part of the coffee industry, and it's

150
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:59,479
Speaker 1: interesting to see the backgrounds of these types of organizations

151
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 1: and these types of companies because we know things are happening.

152
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 1: And I believe Anny Smithy has done episodes on women

153
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:11,040
Speaker 1: in the coffee industry before, and honestly, the coffee industry

154
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 1: does have a bit of a dark history, and no surprise,

155
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 1: women have not been welcomed with open arms in the

156
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 1: industry even until this day. You know, there's also a

157
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:26,560
Speaker 1: lot of constant conversation and debate about sustainability and overall

158
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:30,439
Speaker 1: consumer responsibility. With products like coffee. I know we can

159
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:34,000
Speaker 1: talk about fair trade and um equal pay, as well

160
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 1: as who's getting what money, how is it being grown.

161
00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:39,960
Speaker 1: So many things that we needs to be considered. And

162
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 1: it comes to women in the industry around the world,

163
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 1: the numbers are really hippalling. The production of coffee is

164
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:50,920
Speaker 1: provided by women, and only twenty of those coffee farms

165
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:54,520
Speaker 1: are female operated. Um again, and the number of women

166
00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 1: who are the ones to have ownership or making profit

167
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:01,720
Speaker 1: is pretty lacking, as in fact, women are less likely

168
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 1: to be able to access financial assistance and assets to

169
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:08,559
Speaker 1: be able to produce and market their their crops. Even

170
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:11,920
Speaker 1: though there's so many, like the chart for it was incredible,

171
00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:15,120
Speaker 1: the amount of women that's that's in the actual industry

172
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:18,720
Speaker 1: of the growth is astronomical, Like there's so many it

173
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:21,800
Speaker 1: almost it seems like it's Tintoe two men. But then

174
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 1: when it comes to those who actually get profits and ownerships,

175
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:42,280
Speaker 1: is like, of course men over women. Yeah. Another part

176
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:45,000
Speaker 1: of this that we have in an episode before, and

177
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 1: I've been meaning to bring it back for a while

178
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:49,400
Speaker 1: as a classic, so perhaps we'll do that soon is

179
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:51,160
Speaker 1: what's going on within the industry when it comes to

180
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:54,120
Speaker 1: things like Barrista's, women do make up the majority of

181
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:57,280
Speaker 1: RUSS and it's not surprising to see that there continues

182
00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:01,000
Speaker 1: to be conversations within establishments like Starbucks, who yeahs one

183
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 1: of the highest sales of coffee about their treatment of

184
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:06,680
Speaker 1: workers and all the fun union busting tactics that we've

185
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 1: seen that has we've seen from this company that's made

186
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:13,319
Speaker 1: like gargantuan profits in the last several years and just

187
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:17,040
Speaker 1: in general had a huge impact on the coffee industry.

188
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:19,319
Speaker 1: And that's something I do I want to come back

189
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 1: and talk about because coffee, coffee houses and coffee culture

190
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:26,960
Speaker 1: is fascinating. And you know, for a long time, women

191
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 1: weren't even allowed in coffee houses. That was kind of

192
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:37,960
Speaker 1: because it was they were places so alcohol but anyway, uh,

193
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 1: and then there's just kind of like there can be

194
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:43,000
Speaker 1: I think this is changing. But for a long time

195
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 1: there was this real like dude bro snobbery coffee culture

196
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:52,200
Speaker 1: that was like, these women don't know what real coffee is.

197
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 1: So when it comes to being behind the counter and

198
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 1: service stuff as Boris does, I've seen them being mainly

199
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:04,520
Speaker 1: women unless you're talking about independent and or specific companies.

200
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:07,920
Speaker 1: And I won't mention any of the smaller companies that

201
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 1: are very particular in their branding, you see more of

202
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 1: the dude bros. So that what we've talked about, Like

203
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:21,160
Speaker 1: it's typically when I think of those types of coffee people,

204
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:25,400
Speaker 1: I think of the uh lumber sexual dudes that we've

205
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 1: talked about as a stereotype. And I know you know

206
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:30,840
Speaker 1: what I'm talking about, because if there was ever a

207
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:35,720
Speaker 1: moment with the mustachioed dude kind of wavy, long, longer

208
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:39,600
Speaker 1: hair with a button up shirt, yeah, you know what

209
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 1: I'm talking about in the world of coffee. Of course, again,

210
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:45,440
Speaker 1: I think this is why I want to celebrate what

211
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:47,240
Speaker 1: Danielle has doing, because not only has she taken the

212
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:49,959
Speaker 1: coffee what she knows so well and has created something

213
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:53,079
Speaker 1: different and refreshing which is amazing and innovative, and it's

214
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:56,080
Speaker 1: actually making a business from it. I love that. But yeah,

215
00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 1: coming back to talk about, yeah, what about the coffee

216
00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 1: industry because it can be harmful to women, and it

217
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 1: has been harmful to women. It has left women behind.

218
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:07,480
Speaker 1: When we talk about the growth and agriculture of coffee,

219
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:12,920
Speaker 1: we have killed off literal communities by taking advantage and

220
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:15,520
Speaker 1: taking away their crops. So that's a whole bit conversation.

221
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:18,400
Speaker 1: And we know that the majority of those workers or

222
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:21,160
Speaker 1: those suppliers are women. That means we were coming after

223
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:23,840
Speaker 1: women and taking their livelihoods. So we really have to

224
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:27,400
Speaker 1: talk about why this does hurt women and how we

225
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:29,839
Speaker 1: need to try to correct the But also, yeah, as

226
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:32,800
Speaker 1: we're looking at within the US, like Starbucks has slowly

227
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 1: coming together with different companies or different stores throughout the

228
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:39,200
Speaker 1: country trying to become a part of a union, and

229
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:41,800
Speaker 1: the tactics at Starbucks who tries to play the good

230
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:45,000
Speaker 1: guys with like we've raised your salary or your your

231
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:48,480
Speaker 1: your this, and we've raised your benefits. Oh, look, we

232
00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:51,040
Speaker 1: always try to care for our people, but they don't

233
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 1: and we've seen that with their reaction to unionizing it.

234
00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:59,360
Speaker 1: I've I've been kind of confused, as you know, any

235
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:02,040
Speaker 1: you and I've talked about unions before. Obviously this is

236
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:04,600
Speaker 1: something that has affected us when we talk about what

237
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 1: we see with women in the community that some are

238
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:12,679
Speaker 1: being recognized and some are being fired for trying to unionize.

239
00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:14,439
Speaker 1: So it's kind of like, how is that? How is

240
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:17,280
Speaker 1: that possible? I guess it has everybody do with franchising

241
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:20,120
Speaker 1: as a whole different conversation, and as in fact, when

242
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:24,000
Speaker 1: we did our conversation about unionizing and women, a majority

243
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:27,920
Speaker 1: of the people who were the leaders within Starbucks unions

244
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:31,800
Speaker 1: were young women or non binary folks who are really

245
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:34,280
Speaker 1: making a difference and really pushing and calling for that

246
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:37,200
Speaker 1: because they've been kind of the makeup. As we said,

247
00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:40,760
Speaker 1: like I think about sixty seven of the baristas as

248
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:45,080
Speaker 1: of were women. So you know that typically when we

249
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 1: see that kind of numbers, that means it is women dominated.

250
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:53,160
Speaker 1: And essentially we've been told they are either essential workers

251
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:55,400
Speaker 1: at one point and then to low skill at another, which,

252
00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:58,280
Speaker 1: by the way, making coffee is hard. Making coffee is hard.

253
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:02,560
Speaker 1: That's sort of put it out there. It's hard and

254
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 1: it's a skill, which is why I know it's a

255
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:10,400
Speaker 1: craft we got. Really it gets really intense. That world

256
00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 1: gets really intense. An I've been to a few cupings.

257
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:18,040
Speaker 1: It gets intense. Yeah I am not good at it,

258
00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 1: but yeah, I think this is stuff like that that

259
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:22,680
Speaker 1: we want to talk about but always love to see

260
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:25,440
Speaker 1: when a woman comes on top and Danielle is doing

261
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:28,080
Speaker 1: a hard thing and making incredible drinks. And it's been

262
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:30,120
Speaker 1: around for a little while, as you could tell by

263
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:32,880
Speaker 1: the previous article that any read this is at the

264
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:35,800
Speaker 1: beginning and they have made gore Cola. They're making other

265
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:38,640
Speaker 1: things that they made holiday additions to things which I

266
00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:40,880
Speaker 1: need to look out for, like they're they're doing it
