Speaker 3: One of them was sleeping on my chest and the other

4
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:17,560
Speaker 3: two on my legs. I love waking up like that,

5
00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:25,040

00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:35,879
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go do my skincare now that.

00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:44,960
Speaker 4: in the dark, and then I'll go down to work, which.

12
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:46,519

Speaker 1: Let's get going.

20
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:13,400
Speaker 5: This is finally a show about a fishmonger in Seattle.

21
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 5: For five years, Hillary Brannick was until recently the only

00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:24,120
Speaker 5: woman on staff at the world famous Pike Place fish Market.

29
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 6: I'm gonna go give them tips because they just gave

30
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 6: us some donuts.

31
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 7: Welcome to Pikeways. Fish.

32
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 6: People come here for an experience that they're not gonna

33
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:08,839
Speaker 6: get anywhere else, which is really us connecting with them

34
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 6: in the moments that they're here, like directly, like this.

35
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:15,080
Speaker 6: But we also throw fish, which is a huge crowd driver.

36
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:20,240
Speaker 6: So we get these fish in right here. These are

37
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:22,959
Speaker 6: called tetefish. They're like dummy fish, so we use these

38
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,639
Speaker 6: to learn how to throw customers real fish, so we're

39
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 6: only ever throwing real fish. But like this lady in

40
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 6: the purple may want this salmon, and so what I

41
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 6: will do is I pick up the salmon, and then

42
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:37,519
Speaker 6: I go, where are you from, Purple hoodie? I would

43
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:39,680
Speaker 6: say co ho for Indiana, and then I'd launch it

44
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 6: over the counter, and then they would hear that and

45
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:45,520
Speaker 6: we would continue. So everyone knows what's happening all the time.

46
00:02:45,840 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 6: So when we shout like he's gonna do now. My

47
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:16,520
Speaker 6: name's Hillary Brannick slash Segar because I just got married,

48
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:16,799
Speaker 6: so I.

49
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:17,520
Speaker 1: Have a couple of names.

50
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:20,919
Speaker 6: Right now, I'm thirty three and I'm from a very

51
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 6: small town called Florence in Colorado State. I am from Florence, Colorado,

52
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 6: a little tiny town just.

53
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 1: At the foothills of the Rockies.

54
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 6: My mother, Kathleen, is a Wisconsin native, but she and

55
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 6: my dad moved to Colorado to start a family. So

56
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 6: me and my brother and my sister were all born

57
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 6: in Pueblo, Colorado, which is about forty minutes west of

58
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 6: where we live. Growing up in Florence is really really

59
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 6: small town. I mean, this is the kind of place

60
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 6: where everyone I graduated with were the same people I

61
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 6: went to preschool with, and it was our class was

62
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 6: like one hundred and five people. So growing up, everybody

63
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 6: knows everything about you, all your dirt, all your good stuff,

64
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 6: all your weird stuff, every growth you've had in your

65
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 6: life and development. Everyone in the county knew that about me,

66
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:18,919
Speaker 6: and I knew it about them, which is interesting to

67
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 6: navigate when you're trying to find your own identity in

68
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:27,839
Speaker 6: whatever part of your life. So I was definitely considered

69
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:30,240
Speaker 6: a loser. I was bullied a lot when I was

70
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:32,280
Speaker 6: in middle school. I was a very timid person. I

71
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:35,040
Speaker 6: was really afraid of everyone. I never ever ever in

72
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 6: my life would stand up for myself. You know, a

73
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 6: lot of kids have that experience. I definitely was one

74
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:42,919
Speaker 6: of them. Okay, we have this big silver top counter

75
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 6: that makes sort of a half oval shape, and in

76
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 6: the corner of it there's a little spot that you

77
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:49,479
Speaker 6: could say on it's like a ninety degree angle, and

78
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:53,160
Speaker 6: that's where we catch fish from our bench, which is

79
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 6: a big metal display about I don't know. It was

80
00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 6: like ten yards away, ten yards away something like that.

81
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 8: Uh.

82
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 6: So, as soon as someone yells t T, which is

83
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:05,720
Speaker 6: test toss or tourist hoss, we all race each other

84
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 6: over to this little corner so you can get there first.

85
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:12,039
Speaker 6: And so he'll go t T and then we respond TT.

86
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 6: And then as soon as he starts to throw the fish,

87
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 6: we go hey. And then as soon as it hits

88
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:21,960
Speaker 6: his hands like that, we go yeah, so hey, And

89
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 6: so we do that anytime we throw anything. Uh and

90
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 6: then we say backjack, backjack b ack j a c K.

91
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:33,719
Speaker 6: It means put it back where it came from. So

92
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 6: I'll go back jack too, both.

93
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:41,280
Speaker 7: Too.

94
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 6: Here's the slap of the paper and how we did that. Alrighty,

95
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 6: who's got those rainbow trout where are you come on over?

96
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 7: Boss?

97
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:57,479
Speaker 6: After I graduated high school, I moved to Boston for college.

98
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 6: I went to Berkeley College of Music for songwriting in

99
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 6: twenty ten, I think maybe twenty eleven. Somewhere in between there,

100
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:10,720
Speaker 6: I going to school regular and then I worked at

101
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 6: this place called the Poorhouse.

102
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:13,719
Speaker 1: Right on Boylston Street.

103
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 6: Anybody that's listening that lived in Boston knows the place,

104
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 6: really fun bar and on Marathon Monday. The first time

105
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 6: I worked Marathon Monday, my voice was so shot afterwards

106
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:26,039
Speaker 6: that I just couldn't talk. And I thought I just

107
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 6: had laryngitis and that it would go away, and then

108
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:32,599
Speaker 6: it really wouldn't go away. And then I went to

109
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 6: a doctor and he's like, well, you have nodes or nodules,

110
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:39,080
Speaker 6: which are not something that can be fixed. And so

111
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:43,480
Speaker 6: I just went into a very spiraled, bad depression for

112
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:47,480
Speaker 6: like two and a half years. And the really crazy

113
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:51,160
Speaker 6: thing was I was misdiagnosed, so I just went he

114
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 6: told me what it was, and I was like, well,

115
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 6: I guess this is what I'm working with. And so

116
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 6: I just had to drop out because I couldn't perform.

117
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:01,839
Speaker 6: And then I just off doing music all together because

118
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 6: it killed me not to be able to sing, and

119
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:05,840
Speaker 6: I didn't want to write. And I had a lot

120
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:08,680
Speaker 6: of friends who wanted to help me, and they're like, well,

121
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 6: you should learn to you know, play piano and you know,

122
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 6: play guitar and do this, and like, at the time,

123
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 6: I didn't know how to respond to that in a

124
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 6: way that was positive because I was just so frustrated

125
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:21,240
Speaker 6: and my friends and my loved ones were trying to

126
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 6: help me, but what I felt like. And I remember

127
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 6: telling one of my friends I got frustrated, and I

128
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 6: wasn't frustrated with her, but I was expressing to her

129
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 6: I felt and I was like, I feel like when

130
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 6: somebody says that to me, it'd be like me telling

131
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 6: a pianist to learn how to sings, Like what if

132
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:40,240
Speaker 6: I broke your hands and you're a pianist. So I

133
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 6: just had this whole horrible two year experience where I

134
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 6: was just really depressed.

135
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 1: I quit music.

136
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:47,240
Speaker 6: I didn't play music, I didn't really do anything. I

137
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 6: stopped listening in music kind of regularly, just kind of

138
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 6: became not ideal. And then a really good friend of

139
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 6: mine named Jeremy, who I also went to school with.

140
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 1: Jeremy Blass.

141
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 6: He and I were walking down the street and I

142
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 6: was drunk and I was crying, and I was talking

143
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 6: about how I wanted to disappear and do something else

144
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:09,680
Speaker 6: because I was still so crushed. Music was the only

145
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:10,559
Speaker 6: thing I ever cared about.

146
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:11,400
Speaker 1: All growing up.

147
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 6: I didn't care about anything else. I didn't want to

148
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:15,800
Speaker 6: be anything else. That was my thing was in some way,

149
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 6: I was going to be a singer. And I didn't

150
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:19,840
Speaker 6: know what that meant. Sometimes I still don't, but I

151
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 6: knew it's what I wanted. We were walking down the

152
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 6: street and he's like, you need to go see another doctor,

153
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 6: and I was like, I don't want to go again.

154
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:28,680
Speaker 1: He's like, you have to go. Will you please go?

155
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 1: He's like, will you just go for me? He's like,

156
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 1: you have different insurance now you can see a different doctor.

157
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:35,200
Speaker 1: He's like, just as a friend, do me the favor.

158
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:36,559
Speaker 1: Just go one more time.

159
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:39,120
Speaker 6: And because he and I were such good friends, I

160
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:41,959
Speaker 6: was like, Okay, I'll be reasonable, I'll go again.

161
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:44,560
Speaker 1: Maybe I just needed second set eyes.

162
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:47,120
Speaker 7: People come from.

163
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:49,920
Speaker 6: All over the world to see us throwfish. We obviously

164
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,719
Speaker 6: don't want to throw customers fish that they're paying for

165
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:55,080
Speaker 6: because we take really good care of those. So she

166
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 6: would order this, and I would ask her, do you

167
00:08:57,640 --> 00:08:59,200
Speaker 6: want us to cut this for you? We do that

168
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 6: for free. Do you want us to leave it whole

169
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 6: so you can do it? We kind of get whatever

170
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 6: they want as instructions and then we throw it over.

171
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:09,640
Speaker 6: And the reason that we shout the way we do,

172
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 6: or sing the way that we do, chant whatever people

173
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:14,760
Speaker 6: call it, is so that you tell me one time

174
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 6: what you want. I tell everybody at the same time,

175
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 6: so that whoever gets to you first knows what to

176
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 6: help you with. So then you know how to repeat

177
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:23,959
Speaker 6: yourself to ten people, you know. And it's not like

178
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:25,920
Speaker 6: a grocery store. You take your stuff and you go

179
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 6: check out. We grab every single thing for you. And

180
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:31,720
Speaker 6: that's how we communicate. So that the guy in the

181
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:34,600
Speaker 6: red that's JB red Hair, he will never have to

182
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 6: come down here to get anything. He'll just call for

183
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:38,840
Speaker 6: it and then we'll send it up to him, and

184
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:42,760
Speaker 6: vice versa. So I went and I went to Massachusetts

185
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 6: and Ear Infirmary, which has done surgery.

186
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:46,679
Speaker 1: I'm like opera singers.

187
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 6: There's been a lot of really big people that have

188
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:54,320
Speaker 6: been treated there and they're fantastic. And my doctor he

189
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 6: did what they call is a larenscopy. So they take

190
00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:00,680
Speaker 6: this camera and it goes up on my as the

191
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 6: left side of my nostril goes all the way up

192
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:05,839
Speaker 6: and then down my throat. And so he put this

193
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 6: camera in my throat and asked me to sing so

194
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:13,360
Speaker 6: that he could see how my vocal colds are functioning.

195
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 6: And I'm singing and then he goes, oh, and I

196
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 6: go what. He goes, you don't have nodes or nodules,

197
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:22,360
Speaker 6: and I go what. He's like, I think I can

198
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:25,640
Speaker 6: fix this. And with this camera in my mouth, I'm

199
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:28,000
Speaker 6: like in shock. I'm crying. He's trying to get me

200
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:30,880
Speaker 6: to calm down, but I'm so excited and trying not

201
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 6: to let myself be excited because I also know how

202
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 6: medicine works and it's not always that way. But I

203
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:38,880
Speaker 6: was like, holy shit, this doctor thinks he can do it.

204
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:41,960
Speaker 6: After he explained what I had, which was essentially I

205
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,160
Speaker 6: had a tear in my vocal cord and then it

206
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 6: grew cysts. It just basically grew inside itself. And if

207
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:50,560
Speaker 6: you guys can all put your two pointed fingers together

208
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:53,840
Speaker 6: in a horizontal way, that's what your vocal cords look like,

209
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:56,920
Speaker 6: but they are kind of like rubber bands. And if

210
00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 6: you pull a rubber band apart into a long string,

211
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 6: that is what your vocal culture are like. And so

212
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:05,079
Speaker 6: if you imagine two marbles in the middle of it,

213
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:07,959
Speaker 6: when you talk or you sing, they get really tight

214
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:12,559
Speaker 6: and then the sound goes through. But I had basically

215
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:16,240
Speaker 6: little tiny marbles, and so I would lose my range

216
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 6: in certain places because when I would sing or speak,

217
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 6: it would just stop or wouldn't close enough for the

218
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:30,680
Speaker 6: sound to get out properly. I guess sing something before

219
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 6: you made me okay, if it's bad, you have to

220
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:42,520
Speaker 6: delete it, though, Oh come to bed with you, but

221
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:43,400
Speaker 6: don't love me.

222
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:55,720
Speaker 8: I won't love you, and that just kay fee, I

223
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:57,200
Speaker 8: don't want.

224
00:11:56,679 --> 00:12:00,480
Speaker 4: To feel you.

225
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 9: That's a new song. Does it sound okay?

226
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:19,480
Speaker 2: Why can't I.

227
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:28,240
Speaker 10: Leave a launch here and a launch of gone get

228
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 10: away from Me?

229
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:35,439
Speaker 6: You can call out anything from anywhere. It's basically just

230
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:38,040
Speaker 6: to let someone know. Somebody needs help right now, somebody

231
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 6: needs something next, And so we try to do it

232
00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:44,560
Speaker 6: in a way that you can get everything succinct and

233
00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:48,000
Speaker 6: quick and in a good cadence. So we always say

234
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:50,440
Speaker 6: you get the response that you call. And so if

235
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:55,360
Speaker 6: I'm like two bows, houses like they're not gonna hear that,

236
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:58,240
Speaker 6: they're also not going to respond very well. So then

237
00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 6: I'll go two bows, two bows.

238
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 7: This is that's not real. That was just a test

239
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:04,440
Speaker 7: that she could hear.

240
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:07,760
Speaker 6: But see how everyone immediately like perked up and knew

241
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 6: what to do.

242
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:09,320
Speaker 7: That's why we do that.

243
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 6: So even the person over here selling smoke salmon knows

244
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:14,880
Speaker 6: that two rainbow trout are coming over the counter, and

245
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:19,280
Speaker 6: then that person that wants to trout might want the

246
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:23,240
Speaker 6: smoked salmon as well. So Adrian knows, oh, you're getting

247
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:25,680
Speaker 6: trout too cool, I'm going to add this to your order,

248
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:26,319
Speaker 6: and then he'll go.

249
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:27,400
Speaker 7: Smoke with the bows.

250
00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:30,200
Speaker 6: And so we just kind of all have to listen

251
00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:32,280
Speaker 6: all the time and then just keep That's how we

252
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:48,200
Speaker 6: keep tack of our customers want I was it, okay,

253
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:02,680
Speaker 6: I got Here's so weird. I ended up in Seattle

254
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:05,800
Speaker 6: at the end of twenty sixteen. When I was living

255
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:08,600
Speaker 6: in Nashville is when Trump first ran for office. The

256
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:12,040
Speaker 6: people I was living with openly began to become like

257
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:15,079
Speaker 6: they were openly racist after he came out and ran

258
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:18,160
Speaker 6: for president, and they were openly doing racist shit, and

259
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:20,560
Speaker 6: so I was like, not a chance. So I packed

260
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 6: up all my stuff. I took some of it to

261
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 6: my aunt's house in Wisconsin, my aunt uncle's house, and

262
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 6: then I took shoved the rest of it in a

263
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:29,760
Speaker 6: closet and left for the summer. And then I worked

264
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:32,800
Speaker 6: in Boston, got some money together, just to see what

265
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:34,280
Speaker 6: I was going to do next. And one of my

266
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:37,720
Speaker 6: friends that I met at a festival was like, Hey,

267
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:39,600
Speaker 6: I'm going to move to Seattle. I know you're up

268
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 6: in the air about what you want to do. Do

269
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:45,480
Speaker 6: you want to move with me to Seattle? And I

270
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:48,320
Speaker 6: was like, I've never been there, Let's do it. My

271
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:51,360
Speaker 6: first job was here in the market, and the second

272
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 6: I stepped into this market, people took care of me immediately.

273
00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:58,400
Speaker 6: I actually came here. The first day I came to

274
00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:01,040
Speaker 6: Seattle was allo of the day I moved here, just

275
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:04,280
Speaker 6: like Boston. But that first week we came down to

276
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 6: Pipe Place Market, which I'd never heard of before, never saw,

277
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:09,480
Speaker 6: never knew anything about. I really just didn't know about

278
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:11,520
Speaker 6: Seattle at all. I will say Seattle is one of

279
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:14,000
Speaker 6: my favorite cities now, but it's also like a hidden city,

280
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:17,000
Speaker 6: like people kind of forget that this is a metropolitan place.

281
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:21,240
Speaker 6: So I came down here and I stood outside pipe

282
00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:24,120
Speaker 6: place fish actually, and I was standing by Rachel. This

283
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:26,000
Speaker 6: big golden pig that's right in front of the shop.

284
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:26,800
Speaker 6: It's a statue.

285
00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:29,920
Speaker 1: Definitely google it. She's a prize winning pig. It's really weird.

286
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 1: It's like a bronze thing.

287
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:35,080
Speaker 6: But I was standing there next to Rachel, just staring

288
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:37,640
Speaker 6: at the fish market and they're throwing stuff and they're screaming.

289
00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:40,880
Speaker 6: I've never even seen a fish market before. I don't

290
00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:43,320
Speaker 6: even know what I'm looking at. And this guy, who

291
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:46,280
Speaker 6: is a legend here's name's Justin Hall shouts. He's like,

292
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:49,480
Speaker 6: you gonna buy something? And I'm like, ah, I'm poor,

293
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:52,040
Speaker 6: Yes I will. I'm like, I don't have any money,

294
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:53,760
Speaker 6: I don't live anywhere, but I'm for sure about to

295
00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:57,080
Speaker 6: buy this cocktail, this shrimp cocktail.

296
00:15:57,400 --> 00:15:57,920
Speaker 1: So I get it.

297
00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:00,480
Speaker 6: And I started talking to the guys and they're like, oh,

298
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:02,440
Speaker 6: you know, where are you from? And I told him

299
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:05,200
Speaker 6: I just moved here. I'm looking for work. And I

300
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:08,160
Speaker 6: asked them, you know, I was a very experienced bartender.

301
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:10,760
Speaker 6: You know, I bartended for and waitressed over a decade,

302
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:12,840
Speaker 6: so I was like, do you know any restaurants that

303
00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 6: need help? Because I'm the lady, they will hire me.

304
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:18,920
Speaker 6: And one of the guys at the time was dating

305
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 6: a lady that had also been down here about twenty

306
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:26,480
Speaker 6: five years. He's like, yeah, my girlfriend runs Albaracho upstairs,

307
00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:29,360
Speaker 6: and you know, I'll put in a word for you.

308
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:32,560
Speaker 6: And I went in there and got hired, and it

309
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:34,680
Speaker 6: was funny because I did all the things you shouldn't do,

310
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:36,800
Speaker 6: and all the servers out there we'll understand this. I

311
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:40,200
Speaker 6: went in on a Friday afternoon with like a shoddy

312
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:42,360
Speaker 6: resume because I didn't have a printer, and it was

313
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:45,520
Speaker 6: like during a rush. I also wasn't really sure what

314
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:47,280
Speaker 6: day was or well, you know, I was in like

315
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:51,000
Speaker 6: this insane place in my life where I didn't live anywhere,

316
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:52,760
Speaker 6: I didn't have any money. I was trying to get

317
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 6: a job desperately. So I walked in on a Friday

318
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 6: afternoon lunch rush and I was like, hey, hire me.

319
00:16:57,640 --> 00:16:59,600
Speaker 6: And then I had to convince Kira to hire me,

320
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:02,720
Speaker 6: and she did, and she told me she was a

321
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:05,359
Speaker 6: straightforward lady. I loved working for her. She's really fun

322
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:08,080
Speaker 6: and really cool and really took me under her wing

323
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:11,080
Speaker 6: in the market and she was like, honestly, she's like,

324
00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:13,440
Speaker 6: I would never hire someone coming in on a Friday.

325
00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:15,200
Speaker 6: But I convinced her. I was like, you need to

326
00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:17,000
Speaker 6: hire me. You will be happy that you hired me.

327
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:18,520
Speaker 6: I was like, I know that I have no one

328
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:21,040
Speaker 6: here to vouch for me. I was like, but I

329
00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:22,480
Speaker 6: promise you. I was like, I don't even have a

330
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:24,480
Speaker 6: place to sleep tonight, but I will be here every

331
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:26,520
Speaker 6: day on time. And I was there every single day

332
00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:28,240
Speaker 6: on time. And I worked there for a year and

333
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:28,560
Speaker 6: a half.

334
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 7: So they're called TETs, which stands for.

335
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:43,240
Speaker 6: Test toss or tourist toss, and they are a keeto

336
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:46,320
Speaker 6: or chump salmon, and we actually buy them for throwing

337
00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:47,440
Speaker 6: and then we donate.

338
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:50,480
Speaker 7: Them to the zoo and also a Wolfhaven.

339
00:17:54,000 --> 00:18:01,720
Speaker 8: Pay did.

340
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:04,359
Speaker 7: Thanks boss? Oh, thank you?

341
00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:07,960
Speaker 6: Don We have different whole fish all the time, but

342
00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:09,800
Speaker 6: also some of the stuff kind of lives here, so

343
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:13,399
Speaker 6: we always have king salmon we filter through coho and

344
00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:18,600
Speaker 6: sake depending on season, halib it from Alaska. We've got

345
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:23,359
Speaker 6: Alaskan black cod, we have trout from Idaho springs, and

346
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:26,960
Speaker 6: bronzino come fresh from Turkey, so we get those fresh,

347
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:31,240
Speaker 6: which is really cool eleven hour flight or something. Yeah,

348
00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:36,000
Speaker 6: it's awesome. All sustainable. We're sustainable seafood market. Our octopus

349
00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:38,800
Speaker 6: come from Spain because we can get them sustainably.

350
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:39,119
Speaker 7: There.

351
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:41,919
Speaker 6: Actually one of the people that works here show she

352
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:47,560
Speaker 6: makes authentic Spanish ink prints. She used the Spanish octopus

353
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:49,800
Speaker 6: to make ink prints. They're beautiful.

354
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:53,840
Speaker 1: And then I got fired.

355
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:57,639
Speaker 6: I think that me getting fired from this place was

356
00:18:57,760 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 6: actually it didn't go the way any of us wanted

357
00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:02,600
Speaker 6: it too. I'm still very good friends with the owners

358
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 6: and it's all okay now, so I definitely have no

359
00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:07,000
Speaker 6: bad blood there. But it was hard. It was a

360
00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:10,160
Speaker 6: hard let go. I don't think it's when anyone wanted.

361
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:12,960
Speaker 6: It just happened that way for whatever complex reasons. And

362
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:15,800
Speaker 6: then I stopped serving and I'd wanted out for a

363
00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:19,800
Speaker 6: really long time because I'm also sober six years and

364
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:23,240
Speaker 6: alcohol was an issue for me, and I had stopped

365
00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:25,399
Speaker 6: drinking a few months before I got fired because my

366
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:28,359
Speaker 6: grandmother got sick and I wanted to take care of her,

367
00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:31,000
Speaker 6: and so I just I always told myself, like, I

368
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:33,119
Speaker 6: could have a drink again if when she got better,

369
00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:35,800
Speaker 6: and she never did. She passed, and so I stayed sober,

370
00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:37,760
Speaker 6: and one of the things that helped me with that

371
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:40,639
Speaker 6: was not going back to restaurants. And I knew that

372
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:42,720
Speaker 6: if I wanted to stay sober, that was probably for

373
00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:45,199
Speaker 6: me one of the healthiest ways to do it. And

374
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:46,520
Speaker 6: I didn't know how I was going to do that,

375
00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:48,760
Speaker 6: and then I ended up getting fired, which I knew

376
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:51,840
Speaker 6: was coming. I knew it, and then I just, you know,

377
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:55,959
Speaker 6: chose because I was able to just not go and

378
00:19:56,000 --> 00:20:00,040
Speaker 6: work in another restaurant. I was very fortunate that I

379
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,960
Speaker 6: I didn't have to do that, so I was supported

380
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:05,359
Speaker 6: and I wasn't ever in danger of not having a

381
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:07,800
Speaker 6: place to live or not having food because people here

382
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:09,040
Speaker 6: take care of you like a family.

383
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:09,240
Speaker 8: You know.

384
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:11,240
Speaker 6: I came in here homeless and people were bringing me

385
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:14,160
Speaker 6: groceries that didn't have to be refrigerated and making sure

386
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:16,359
Speaker 6: I had somewhere to stay. And nobody was like giving

387
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:18,639
Speaker 6: me money or anything, but they checked in and they

388
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:20,560
Speaker 6: treated me like family. The second you start in the

389
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:23,160
Speaker 6: market and you become a market worker, you become part

390
00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:28,000
Speaker 6: of this really insane, loving circus family and there's nothing

391
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:30,639
Speaker 6: anybody down here wouldn't do for you. So I was

392
00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:33,479
Speaker 6: able to not have to dive back into getting tips

393
00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:36,680
Speaker 6: every day, and I ended up one of my regulars,

394
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:39,000
Speaker 6: who was also just a very good friend, hired me

395
00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:41,480
Speaker 6: at the ice cream shop Shy Giant here in the market,

396
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:45,399
Speaker 6: and then as I worked there, I worked there for

397
00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:48,199
Speaker 6: about a year and a half as well. Where I

398
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:52,199
Speaker 6: worked in Pipe Place Market, there's many stalls. If you

399
00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:56,000
Speaker 6: haven't ever looked it up, google it. There's tons of businesses.

400
00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:58,600
Speaker 6: There's eight floors. Some of it's an indoor market, some

401
00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:01,000
Speaker 6: of it's an outdoor market. I worked in an outdoor

402
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:04,040
Speaker 6: ice cream stand that was year round and it was lovely.

403
00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:07,480
Speaker 6: It's called Shy Giant Frozen Yogurt. And I worked for

404
00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:09,240
Speaker 6: my friends ce Last for about a year and a

405
00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:11,320
Speaker 6: half and I kind of ran the ice cream shop

406
00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:16,320
Speaker 6: on my own. Oh yeah, I live really close. My

407
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:18,719
Speaker 6: commute is very short, so I look like I'm in

408
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:24,800
Speaker 6: my pajamas all the time. I live about twenty yards

409
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:29,480
Speaker 6: from my job. I live in Pipeclasce Market. I won't

410
00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:32,440
Speaker 6: say where, but I do live here in the market

411
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:35,560
Speaker 6: very close. And I walk down my stairs and I

412
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:38,440
Speaker 6: take about ten steps outside in my door and I'm

413
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:40,960
Speaker 6: at work. I was living in the market and the

414
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:43,560
Speaker 6: way I got my apartment was very interesting. Mostly I

415
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:46,879
Speaker 6: was really annoying. You have to put yourself on a

416
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:50,880
Speaker 6: wait list, and there are years of waiting for apartments here.

417
00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:54,359
Speaker 6: They're not widely known. There's not a ton especially for

418
00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:57,000
Speaker 6: the building that I live The building that I live

419
00:21:57,040 --> 00:22:00,119
Speaker 6: in has tenants that have been there for like thirty

420
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:01,680
Speaker 6: and there's only.

421
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:03,920
Speaker 1: Like twelve of us, like twelve.

422
00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:07,280
Speaker 6: Apartments, so it's like kind of the friends building, but

423
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:08,920
Speaker 6: really it's just the hallway of all of us that

424
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:10,840
Speaker 6: know each other. But I had put myself on the

425
00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:15,600
Speaker 6: wait list for the market apartments and I called every week,

426
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:18,320
Speaker 6: every single week. I was like, Hey, do you have anything, Hey,

427
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:20,679
Speaker 6: do you have any apartments? And they're like, no, I

428
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:22,399
Speaker 6: don't have anything. Also you're not at the top of

429
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:24,000
Speaker 6: the wait list, and like they were nice and stuff,

430
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:26,040
Speaker 6: but I was like, I'm getting in those apartments. I

431
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:28,080
Speaker 6: cannot live here anymore. I can't be in the situation

432
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:30,600
Speaker 6: I'm in. I didn't want to commute anymore, you know,

433
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:34,080
Speaker 6: Like I lived on Alcai across the water, which is awesome,

434
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:36,720
Speaker 6: but it was still two buses. Even if it's an hour,

435
00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:39,440
Speaker 6: it's still two buses. It's still like weirdly timed buses.

436
00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:41,760
Speaker 6: I had to take a bus from the water to

437
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:44,720
Speaker 6: you know, the middle part of West Seattle to get

438
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:46,919
Speaker 6: on another bus to come downtown. And it was just

439
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:50,440
Speaker 6: the situation was not ideal. So I just kept calling.

440
00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:53,280
Speaker 6: I kept calling and calling and calling every week. And

441
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:59,840
Speaker 6: then right when we almost gonna get evicted, not because

442
00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:03,720
Speaker 6: of me, I'll just say that, they called me and

443
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:07,119
Speaker 6: they're like, hey, we've got an apartment available. Do you

444
00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:09,879
Speaker 6: want to come see it. I was like, right now,

445
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:13,000
Speaker 6: I can come right now, And so me and my

446
00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:16,840
Speaker 6: husband went and saw it and got the apartment, and

447
00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:26,119
Speaker 6: so then we just we've lived there for almost seven years.

448
00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:33,880
Speaker 6: And so I lived there while I was still bartending

449
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:36,400
Speaker 6: at Elbaracho. I lived there when I worked at Shy

450
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:39,320
Speaker 6: Giant Frozen Yogurt, and I still live there now. At

451
00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:41,720
Speaker 6: pipe Place Fish Market where the ice cream stand is.

452
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:44,359
Speaker 6: It's in a small little building called the Sanitary Market,

453
00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:47,040
Speaker 6: and that's in pipe Place Market, and there's a little

454
00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:50,280
Speaker 6: corner where there was a pickle stand called Britz Pickles.

455
00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:53,520
Speaker 6: There was the poke stand the I believe it's wild

456
00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:54,720
Speaker 6: poke is what it's called.

457
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:57,400
Speaker 1: And then the famous.

458
00:23:57,160 --> 00:24:02,960
Speaker 6: Unmatched Oriental Mart and is a three generation owned Filipino market.

459
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:04,080
Speaker 1: They are so.

460
00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:09,000
Speaker 6: Cool and during the slow freezing times, ice cream sales

461
00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:12,000
Speaker 6: not super high. So I could see the ice cream

462
00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:15,640
Speaker 6: shop from the Oriental Market kitchen, and so I would

463
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:18,080
Speaker 6: sit back there and hang out with them, and I

464
00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:21,440
Speaker 6: would watch my shop from across the hall because they're

465
00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:24,320
Speaker 6: very close, so it wasn't like if somebody came up

466
00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:25,119
Speaker 6: and wanted help.

467
00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:26,600
Speaker 1: I'd be like, oh, hey, I'm coming.

468
00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:29,040
Speaker 6: Over and they'd be like great, Like you're two steps away,

469
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:32,080
Speaker 6: And so I would sit back there and I would

470
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:35,520
Speaker 6: just sit over there and hang out and have fun

471
00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:39,040
Speaker 6: and hear old market stories from like people that really

472
00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:40,520
Speaker 6: are the ones you want to hear it from. They've

473
00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:43,359
Speaker 6: been down here a long time, they've seen everything. They're wonderful.

474
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:45,520
Speaker 6: It's just like it's awesome. It's like sitting in a

475
00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:49,240
Speaker 6: live movie. It's crazy. And one day I just kind

476
00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:51,600
Speaker 6: of joked with Sam. I was like, I think I

477
00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:53,199
Speaker 6: could do what you guys did for a day, I

478
00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:56,080
Speaker 6: really do. I think I could do it, and I

479
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:58,040
Speaker 6: just we kind of joked about it for a few months,

480
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:01,880
Speaker 6: and one day he walked by the ice cream shop.

481
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:04,119
Speaker 6: He's like, hey, I put you on the schedule for

482
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:05,840
Speaker 6: this day. He's like, you got to show up at

483
00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:07,919
Speaker 6: six thirty, you got to stay the whole twelve hours,

484
00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:09,760
Speaker 6: because you know, he knew my schedule because we were

485
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:10,879
Speaker 6: around each other all the time.

486
00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:15,199
Speaker 1: And I was like, okay, I can do that.

487
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:18,320
Speaker 6: You know, still living right next to the fish market,

488
00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:21,639
Speaker 6: so that was helpful. But one morning, I just that morning,

489
00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:24,560
Speaker 6: I went down there, got there at six, started shoveling ice.

490
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:26,560
Speaker 1: I put on a He.

491
00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:28,240
Speaker 6: Dressed me up in the bibs and the boots, and

492
00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:29,800
Speaker 6: I wore one of the guy's boots. They were too

493
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:32,280
Speaker 6: big and the bibs were kind of too big and

494
00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:35,840
Speaker 6: also too short because I borrowed everyone else's stuff. And

495
00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:38,360
Speaker 6: then I worked here for one day and I did

496
00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:40,040
Speaker 6: it as a volunteer, but at the end of the

497
00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:42,320
Speaker 6: day they paid me, which I wasn't expecting. But I

498
00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:44,159
Speaker 6: was like, I just wanted to come have the experience,

499
00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:46,959
Speaker 6: and I knew I couldn't do that at my husband's job.

500
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:48,359
Speaker 6: I didn't want to go work with my husband. I

501
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:52,080
Speaker 6: wanted to go do this other thing on my own. Also,

502
00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:54,520
Speaker 6: just a different operation. Our neighbors we love, but they

503
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:57,479
Speaker 6: do a different thing than we do. And I just

504
00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:00,800
Speaker 6: I went and working here for one day changed my life.

505
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:04,399
Speaker 6: Just being here changed my life. And it's because of

506
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:09,000
Speaker 6: the way that the team moves like as one and

507
00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:10,840
Speaker 6: the way we support each other and the way we

508
00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:14,080
Speaker 6: lift each other up. You know, I was invited into

509
00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:19,880
Speaker 6: this really, really interesting, loving space that I've never been.

510
00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:22,040
Speaker 6: I've never been involved in anything like that.

511
00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:25,880
Speaker 7: Some of the guys that have been here a little

512
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:28,880
Speaker 7: bit longer will say, like they're.

513
00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:32,199
Speaker 6: So he called out two bows as is, two rainbow

514
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:33,760
Speaker 6: trout as is. That means they don't want us to

515
00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:35,840
Speaker 6: cut them. They're just as they come. That's what they want.

516
00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:38,240
Speaker 7: Now. If it was me, I would have said.

517
00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:39,919
Speaker 1: Two bows as is.

518
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:41,640
Speaker 6: Then I would have waited for the pause and I'd

519
00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:42,639
Speaker 6: say going home.

520
00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:44,560
Speaker 7: Going home means no ice.

521
00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:47,280
Speaker 6: I set up means I set up twenty four in

522
00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:51,240
Speaker 6: a bag. It's a twenty four hour ice tsa bag.

523
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:54,080
Speaker 6: We have twenty four mini, which is the same thing

524
00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:56,080
Speaker 6: in a box, and then we have a four y

525
00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:57,920
Speaker 6: eight hour box which is what we used to ship

526
00:26:57,920 --> 00:26:59,399
Speaker 6: in and also for people that want to.

527
00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:00,600
Speaker 1: Take a little x A on the plane.

528
00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:03,280
Speaker 6: So we actually have little things that we say so

529
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:04,840
Speaker 6: that we don't even have to ask each other what

530
00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:07,080
Speaker 6: they need. Yes, chef, thank you chev. It is very

531
00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:10,160
Speaker 6: much like that. Yes, there is definitely a call in response.

532
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:12,720
Speaker 6: It's an interesting team dynamic we have here, and it

533
00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:15,399
Speaker 6: sounds a lot more hectic than it is. It's intimidating

534
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:17,560
Speaker 6: when you start, but then you sort of get into

535
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:20,840
Speaker 6: this like weird flow of like we say, some weird

536
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:23,399
Speaker 6: stuff we have, like our own little slang and lingo.

537
00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:25,280
Speaker 6: It's like our own dialects.

538
00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:25,960
Speaker 7: I guess.

539
00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:30,560
Speaker 6: Getting paid a pipe place fish is interesting because as

540
00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:35,320
Speaker 6: an adult, I now factor in the paid time off

541
00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:38,280
Speaker 6: and sick pay and insurance as part.

542
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:38,880
Speaker 1: Of my wage.

543
00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:41,720
Speaker 6: So in the places where some people might say, hey,

544
00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:45,760
Speaker 6: this isn't enough of an hourly, I always check myself

545
00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:47,840
Speaker 6: really quick and go, oh, I'm also having all of this,

546
00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:51,320
Speaker 6: Like I can all this other stuff that we would

547
00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:53,000
Speaker 6: normally pay a lot of money for, I don't have

548
00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:57,440
Speaker 6: to pay for And so for me it works out wonderfully. However,

549
00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:00,640
Speaker 6: I bartended and waitress for a really long time, and that,

550
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:02,720
Speaker 6: as you know, for the people that do it, is

551
00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:05,719
Speaker 6: really different money and it's everyday money, and so that

552
00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:09,080
Speaker 6: was definitely adjustment, and it was definitely a hit but

553
00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:13,600
Speaker 6: I also knew that happiness for me couldn't be attached

554
00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:17,680
Speaker 6: to how much I made anymore. It wasn't sustainable because

555
00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:19,240
Speaker 6: I wasn't I could make a lot of money and

556
00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:20,959
Speaker 6: not do music, or I could make a little bit

557
00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:21,960
Speaker 6: less money.

558
00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:23,320
Speaker 1: Be happier and do music.

559
00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:28,720
Speaker 6: And so I really was consciously choosing a better lifestyle.

560
00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:35,720
Speaker 6: And also, you know, I felt better and I was

561
00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:37,560
Speaker 6: living in it. I was working in a space where

562
00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:40,440
Speaker 6: the bosses and the other employees care about you, and

563
00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:42,960
Speaker 6: in restaurants it's really not often that way. You're a

564
00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:45,760
Speaker 6: body there and you really connect with some people. And

565
00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:48,360
Speaker 6: some restaurants aren't like that, but the majority of them

566
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:49,920
Speaker 6: are like, yeah.

567
00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:51,200
Speaker 1: I don't care if you're sick, come to work.

568
00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:54,080
Speaker 6: You don't get insurance, you can't really call in, you

569
00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:57,000
Speaker 6: don't get those privileges. You just have to get people

570
00:28:57,080 --> 00:29:01,920
Speaker 6: to cover for you, which is doable but obviously not ideal.

571
00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:04,080
Speaker 6: So working here I didn't have to experience that, and

572
00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:06,120
Speaker 6: I actually got to That was a big weight lifted

573
00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:08,400
Speaker 6: from me. I was making a little less, but I

574
00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:10,840
Speaker 6: had been given all of these other things. So no,

575
00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:13,320
Speaker 6: it wasn't in dollars, but it was in quality. Of life,

576
00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:17,200
Speaker 6: and I would choose that any day. My work ethic

577
00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:20,440
Speaker 6: is a strange creature because it's also tied into my

578
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:27,160
Speaker 6: anxiety of failure. But I also tried to overtime, treat

579
00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:30,600
Speaker 6: that more like a superpower instead of something that hinders me.

580
00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:34,920
Speaker 6: And I do not like making mistakes. That being said,

581
00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:37,000
Speaker 6: I make them. I just try to make sure it's

582
00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:41,200
Speaker 6: not often in that it's as less as possible. I

583
00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:43,320
Speaker 6: don't like making mistakes. I don't like learning in front

584
00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:46,240
Speaker 6: of people. It makes me really anxious. And so my

585
00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:51,040
Speaker 6: work ethic is always learn it fast, do it right

586
00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:55,360
Speaker 6: the first time, and keep doing it right. Don't cut corners.

587
00:29:56,520 --> 00:29:58,280
Speaker 6: I don't recommend this work for everyone.

588
00:29:58,360 --> 00:29:58,840
Speaker 8: No, I do not.

589
00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:04,600
Speaker 6: I do recommend everyone trying anything they want to try.

590
00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:07,640
Speaker 6: I do not think this job is for everyone. It

591
00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:11,719
Speaker 6: gets very cold here, and immediately some of our listeners

592
00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:13,960
Speaker 6: are gonna say, well, it's really cold in Minnesota and

593
00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:15,400
Speaker 6: it's like negative twelve degrees.

594
00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:17,200
Speaker 1: Yes, I agree with you, it is much colder.

595
00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:22,600
Speaker 6: However, standing outside for ten hours anything below twenty degrees

596
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:27,080
Speaker 6: is miserable. And also our hands are constantly in ice.

597
00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:30,960
Speaker 6: I will start to lose feeling in my fingertips, and

598
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:33,080
Speaker 6: then that'll slowly travel all the way to the back

599
00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:35,640
Speaker 6: of my knuckles and then I just can't feel my fingers,

600
00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:38,440
Speaker 6: and then I just keep working. But really what happens

601
00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:40,200
Speaker 6: is our we lose feeling in our hands. Then we

602
00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:41,920
Speaker 6: go wash our hands in warm water, and then we

603
00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:44,720
Speaker 6: start that process over again. It's just always going to

604
00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:46,320
Speaker 6: be painful for our hands and our feet.

605
00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:53,600
Speaker 7: So we just got done with the day.

606
00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:56,440
Speaker 6: It was pretty cold, so we're going to go through

607
00:30:56,560 --> 00:30:59,440
Speaker 6: what a fishmonger wears to stay cold or to stay

608
00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:00,560
Speaker 6: not cold for.

609
00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:03,000
Speaker 1: Ten hours outside in Seattle.

610
00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:05,280
Speaker 6: I think today I woke up and it was told

611
00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:09,080
Speaker 6: it was going to be twenty six degrees. So we'll

612
00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:13,520
Speaker 6: start from the outer layer. I've got a down jacket

613
00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:18,240
Speaker 6: and I have a scarf from the Seattle Winter Classic

614
00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:21,240
Speaker 6: when the Kraken played the Vegas Night, so that's pretty cool.

615
00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:26,440
Speaker 6: I have on a Grundan's Leee pullover. Grundans takes really

616
00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:30,240
Speaker 6: good care of us. Grundans is a company Slash brand

617
00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:34,240
Speaker 6: that makes deck fishing gear like so like the Deadliest Catch,

618
00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:36,880
Speaker 6: and guys that are really and women that are out

619
00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:39,840
Speaker 6: there in the the Favor Sea.

620
00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:41,760
Speaker 1: Are mostly wearing grundans.

621
00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:43,880
Speaker 7: Oh that's my knife that's connected to my bibs.

622
00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:47,880
Speaker 6: So also now after the pullover, I've got a t

623
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:50,920
