And you 128 00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:11,640 Speaker 1: put those two together, and then they caught you the 129 00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:17,040 Speaker 1: drinking coach. That's my nickname in these streets. Before there 130 00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:20,000 Speaker 1: was an I g before I had a hatchtag. Um, 131 00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:24,600 Speaker 1: I have lived, I have, I've lived, I've worked, I've 132 00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:28,520 Speaker 1: was raised where I've lived and I've worked. Um, there's 133 00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:30,360 Speaker 1: a story behind that too. But I I grew up 134 00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:34,960 Speaker 1: in a drinking family and casually drink and entertained family 135 00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:39,400 Speaker 1: over and played cards and music and cocktails. Um. I 136 00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:42,200 Speaker 1: come from a family who loves a punch. Just make 137 00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:45,480 Speaker 1: it happen. Um. We drank and we shared and we 138 00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:48,240 Speaker 1: laughed and no one was every belligerent or fighting and 139 00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:50,480 Speaker 1: things like that. So I thought it was so cool, 140 00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:53,559 Speaker 1: like they were doing this thing and they were so 141 00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:57,439 Speaker 1: fun and smiling, And I'm like I can't wait to drink, 142 00:08:57,559 --> 00:08:59,319 Speaker 1: like I want to do that too, So I I 143 00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:03,520 Speaker 1: did drink young an age, I'm sipping, but what's just 144 00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:05,680 Speaker 1: my family And so it was just fun to see 145 00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:09,240 Speaker 1: like something that you could take in and make you happier. Um, 146 00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:12,640 Speaker 1: I won't say my age, but drugs are bad and 147 00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:15,040 Speaker 1: dare came out and I was like, I'll never do that, 148 00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:25,120 Speaker 1: but I will definitely drink so um. I mean it 149 00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:29,319 Speaker 1: was a thing like McGruff and the fire guy was 150 00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:31,640 Speaker 1: like telling you don't do these things, but they didn't 151 00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:35,240 Speaker 1: say it don't drink. They didn't say the Amazon rate 152 00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:37,840 Speaker 1: Nancy Reagan. Um. And I was like, I'm not gonna 153 00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:40,880 Speaker 1: do those things. And my family drank and they were cool. 154 00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:44,280 Speaker 1: So as I got older, I wanted to be cool too, 155 00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:49,000 Speaker 1: so I started drinking. But the cool thing about it 156 00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:51,080 Speaker 1: is I was tasting all kind of cool stuff because 157 00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:54,439 Speaker 1: my parents kept a nice, cute situation at home. So 158 00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:57,480 Speaker 1: I stayed in the cabinet. I sipped it all and 159 00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:03,439 Speaker 1: I got up bartending job and bartended until I got 160 00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:05,959 Speaker 1: fed up with people asking me, are you going to 161 00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:08,079 Speaker 1: get a real job? And I was like, man, like 162 00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:10,200 Speaker 1: I'm coming to work is this not a real job. 163 00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:12,840 Speaker 1: The acceptance with family and friends are like, you can't 164 00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:18,160 Speaker 1: do this forever, and you can do it forever. So 165 00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:22,600 Speaker 1: it bartending identified who I was. I don't know if 166 00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:25,440 Speaker 1: I was having identity crisis, but bartending let me say, 167 00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:28,599 Speaker 1: let me feel okay to be lobbly, Okay, to have 168 00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:32,360 Speaker 1: a cocktail, Okay, I have a different palette, and okay 169 00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:35,839 Speaker 1: to be nice to people. So you're not necessarily a 170 00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:41,439 Speaker 1: bartender right now? What is because the bartender?

Um. Sometimes the word, 249 00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:24,560 Speaker 1: you know, the words, the bourbage get all thrown all 250 00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:27,040 Speaker 1: all over the place, and people are cool because of 251 00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:29,920 Speaker 1: likes or maybe the chef, they work for the brand 252 00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:33,080 Speaker 1: and that and they are like for that. But representing 253 00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:39,160 Speaker 1: the hospitable side of it is my fang. Frank. So, 254 00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:41,480 Speaker 1: some of the questions we would ask before and would 255 00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:45,640 Speaker 1: love everyone's feedback was, Um, do you feel because we 256 00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:47,640 Speaker 1: were talking about some of the things that are happening 257 00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:51,440 Speaker 1: in the industry, whether it's uh, sexual harassment or inclusivity, 258 00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:54,120 Speaker 1: do you feel like those situations, especially like let's say 259 00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:55,960 Speaker 1: the me too era, and we know some of the 260 00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:59,560 Speaker 1: things that happened within big restaurant industries are big name chefs. 261 00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:02,200 Speaker 1: Do you feel like that's being addressed more and more 262 00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:04,280 Speaker 1: or do you think that's still something that's obviously need 263 00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:09,840 Speaker 1: to be maybe more voice or whatever whatnot. Yeah, I 264 00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:12,720 Speaker 1: mean make too movement is all over every industry is 265 00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:16,760 Speaker 1: me too movement, and we have been pretty quiet about 266 00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:19,120 Speaker 1: what we do because we're working in a very fun environment. 267 00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:21,200 Speaker 1: We say behind you and in front of you and 268 00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:23,200 Speaker 1: on the side of you, and we say a lot 269 00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:26,640 Speaker 1: of things together within our own comfort of being in 270 00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:30,120 Speaker 1: a very tight space that's high, you know, very very busy, um. 271 00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:32,360 Speaker 1: And we keep our personalities in a place so we 272 00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:34,600 Speaker 1: can give it to the guest. And I think that 273 00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:36,960 Speaker 1: we have have things happen while we're at work that 274 00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:40,720 Speaker 1: we're okay with and they're not okay. UM. So yeah, 275 00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:43,000 Speaker 1: there's always going to be room for more me. Two's 276 00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:47,360 Speaker 1: always more room, um. But actually owning it, you know, 277 00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:51,440 Speaker 1: I I've seen it and then I've seen it hushed. 278 00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:56,080 Speaker 1: But the our community for sure has a voice as 279 00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:59,600 Speaker 1: well on what's acceptable in what isn't um, because there's 280 00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:04,440 Speaker 1: still some hotlands around. And then again another question and 281 00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:06,760 Speaker 1: all of y'all because we kind of talked about it before. 282 00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:09,639 Speaker 1: I mean, it's good they did say that inclusivity when 283 00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:12,080 Speaker 1: it comes to the involving women people of color was 284 00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:14,680 Speaker 1: l g B, t q I community. How do you 285 00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:17,160 Speaker 1: think is there a better way or what else can 286 00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:20,639 Speaker 1: they do to be more inclusive in this industry? Hire 287 00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:25,040 Speaker 1: more people of color and more women and that well, 288 00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:28,760 Speaker 1: I think um. For one, this is deep for me. 289 00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:31,440 Speaker 1: This is my opinion on people of color in the industry. 290 00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:34,199 Speaker 1: At a very heavy conversation with the young lady who 291 00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:36,960 Speaker 1: said to me, she doesn't feel like people of color 292 00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:39,280 Speaker 1: should be in the service industry because we've been serving 293 00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:41,480 Speaker 1: for so long, so why would you want to do 294 00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:46,000 Speaker 1: it now? Me being me, I'm like, okay, facts that 295 00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:49,840 Speaker 1: that's facts. Nevertheless, when you think about the history of 296 00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:52,239 Speaker 1: service and you think about, yes, we were we were 297 00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:57,359 Speaker 1: serving some our people, our whether they were Hispanic, um Asian, 298 00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:02,040 Speaker 1: or black, the people that they were serving were pretty profound. 299 00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:07,080 Speaker 1: But these profound rich people who hired this help also 300 00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:11,520 Speaker 1: hired the most articulate and the prettiest and the most 301 00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:15,040 Speaker 1: educated and queen and the etiquette was so tight. We 302 00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:18,040 Speaker 1: own service, so own it, like stop suppressing it and 303 00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:20,119 Speaker 1: be like, you know what, Actually, I do know how 304 00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:24,280 Speaker 1: to make the best I almost cursed old fashioned because 305 00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:27,480 Speaker 1: because I've been making this old fashioned. I've been making 306 00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:29,560 Speaker 1: this soul fashion that my grandpa's house for for the 307 00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:31,240 Speaker 1: preacher of our church. Or I know how to pour 308 00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:33,520 Speaker 1: a glass of wine properly, I know what a polished 309 00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:37,359 Speaker 1: glass layer. I know these things because Unfortunately, my ancestors, 310 00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:40,760 Speaker 1: my mom, my grandma's, my aunties, we did this. We 311 00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:44,320 Speaker 1: did this thing as little girls or little boys, like 312 00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:47,520 Speaker 1: we know how to serve, so own it, own it 313 00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:49,800 Speaker 1: all the way. So when I hear like hire more 314 00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:52,159 Speaker 1: people of color, some people of color don't want to 315 00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:56,200 Speaker 1: do it. However, there are some really talented. I'm speaking 316 00:18:56,200 --> 00:19:00,199 Speaker 1: on the chef's side, black chefs, women, and menton um 317 00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:04,359 Speaker 1: for the women. Most malchefs of color always say, you know, 318 00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:06,560 Speaker 1: my mom taught me, my grandma taught me, my aunt 319 00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:09,600 Speaker 1: taught me. But there's no women in kitchens. So I'm like, soul, 320 00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:12,760 Speaker 1: what's up a mom's recipe that year in here? Fixing? 321 00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:15,320 Speaker 1: So I think more people of color that actually honor 322 00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:17,760 Speaker 1: it with some history and some substance would fix it. 323 00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:20,280 Speaker 1: As far as women on the bars, or women in 324 00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:22,480 Speaker 1: the kitchens, or women in the restaurant in general. Like 325 00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:24,639 Speaker 1: women don't have to be the host in the eye candy, 326 00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:27,520 Speaker 1: women don't have to wear a certain kind of outfit. Yes, 327 00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:30,639 Speaker 1: we are nicer, we have estrogen, and of course we're nicer. 328 00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:33,920 Speaker 1: We know our role, but don't hire the woman for 329 00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:36,280 Speaker 1: this role. So I would love to see more women 330 00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:39,320 Speaker 1: and other roles like maybe you put a woman on fry, 331 00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:41,359 Speaker 1: she might really like to be down on fire on 332 00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:44,320 Speaker 1: the grill, or put a guy as a host, and 333 00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:46,040 Speaker 1: like women want to see a nice hands some guy 334 00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:48,280 Speaker 1: when they walk in. And as far as the gays, 335 00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:50,159 Speaker 1: I mean, we need the gaze everywhere. Come on like 336 00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:53,040 Speaker 1: l G B t q I is a thing. Um, 337 00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:58,320 Speaker 1: we've been hitten, We've been um put for entertainment purposes. Um, 338 00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:00,680 Speaker 1: but we have bills and they to be paid too, 339 00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:16,040 Speaker 1: So honor thy neighbor who sorry to thank you too. 340 00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:23,240 Speaker 1: I also want to add to that as well. UM. 341 00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:27,560 Speaker 1: I have heard that before as far as um black 342 00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:30,960 Speaker 1: people people of color saying okay, well we were we 343 00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:37,080 Speaker 1: were you know, serving people, etcetera, etcetera. UM around the time, 344 00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:40,640 Speaker 1: you know, especially when bartending actually became a real profession, 345 00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:43,880 Speaker 1: it was actually a very very noble profession. I think 346 00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:47,720 Speaker 1: that one of the ways to kind of, um build 347 00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:51,240 Speaker 1: more inclusion and bringing more people of color, more women, 348 00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:58,480 Speaker 1: I mean, into into more professional serving career options is 349 00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:02,560 Speaker 1: to also open up the education to where they see 350 00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:05,840 Speaker 1: it as a viable career option instead of you know, 351 00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:11,000 Speaker 1: we all worked extremely hard, we're extremely you know, talented 352 00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:14,639 Speaker 1: and knowledgeable, and we just weren't that way just because 353 00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:16,960 Speaker 1: like we've worked hard, we've read, we sit at bars, 354 00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:23,040 Speaker 1: we asked questions, we've gone through the ranks of getting certified, 355 00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:26,159 Speaker 1: and all of these different things that we wouldn't be 356 00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:30,000 Speaker 1: able to be a successful independent bartender or you know, 357 00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:33,960 Speaker 1: run bar programs in five star hotels without having that 358 00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:39,000 Speaker 1: structure of of your knowledge and and working along these 359 00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:41,560 Speaker 1: chefs and just basically working hard. So I also think 360 00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:45,879 Speaker 1: that opening it up to where it's shown as a 361 00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:49,480 Speaker 1: viable career instead of being shown as something you do 362 00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:53,320 Speaker 1: when you're in college, or something you do because you 363 00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:56,000 Speaker 1: don't have any other choices. This is what I chose 364 00:21:56,080 --> 00:22:00,359 Speaker 1: to do. UM, I think that would help as well. UM. 365 00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:04,439 Speaker 1: I do often have people approach me, you know, how 366 00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:07,920 Speaker 1: did you how are you afforded the opportunity to, you know, 367 00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:09,960 Speaker 1: be on this show or be in this magazine. It's 368 00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:11,680 Speaker 1: like it's because I you know, you see like the 369 00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:15,560 Speaker 1: you think it's glamorous. You don't see the hard work involved. 370 00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:19,119 Speaker 1: You don't see you know, me cleaning the bar every night. 371 00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:22,800 Speaker 1: You don't see, um me being able to have to 372 00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:28,160 Speaker 1: adjust my personality and in my verbage per guests, per guests, 373 00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:31,120 Speaker 1: per guest, per guests, and try to cater that experience, 374 00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:34,400 Speaker 1: um individually. You don't see all the books I've read. 375 00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:38,240 Speaker 1: You don't see you know, the network of these bartenders 376 00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:40,439 Speaker 1: that we all know all over this country, all over 377 00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:42,919 Speaker 1: the world. They don't see all of that. And then 378 00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:45,439 Speaker 1: when you say we'll do these things, read these books, 379 00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:50,080 Speaker 1: check out bar smarts, check out these avenues to grow 380 00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:53,040 Speaker 1: as a skill set. And then they're like, wait what 381 00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:56,680 Speaker 1: because they think it's easy, right, I think it's easy. 382 00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:59,520 Speaker 1: It's like, oh, Okay, you're cute. Wow you did this. Cool. 383 00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:03,040 Speaker 1: It's like, you know, I've been like doing this like 384 00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:07,800 Speaker 1: through yeah, like I've been grinding. I've I've had to 385 00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:11,400 Speaker 1: you know, be very resilient through these years. I've been 386 00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:15,240 Speaker 1: that only woman bartender behind the bar. I've been bullied, 387 00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:17,160 Speaker 1: I've been this and been that. I had to stay 388 00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:20,880 Speaker 1: extremely strong and put together to make it to where 389 00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:23,040 Speaker 1: I wanted to be in my career. So I think 390 00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:26,680 Speaker 1: showing it as a viable career option and showing the 391 00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:30,560 Speaker 1: work that's involved, because as far as especially African Americans 392 00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:34,160 Speaker 1: are concerned, you want to talk about you know, labor 393 00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:38,720 Speaker 1: and in in trades and skill sets. You know, after slavery, 394 00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:45,960 Speaker 1: we had a majority of those skill sets, whether it's welding, bartending, cooking, whatever, 395 00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:48,520 Speaker 1: we had those skill sets. It's just another skill set. 396 00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:51,920 Speaker 1: It's a viable there's nothing wrong with it. It's a 397 00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:56,920 Speaker 1: great trade job wattle reward, and it's fun and it 398 00:23:56,960 --> 00:24:03,000 Speaker 1: pays the bills and it pays the um. Since you 399 00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:07,440 Speaker 1: brought up and each time we said service, which obviously 400 00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:10,320 Speaker 1: there's a reason for that being a hang up, do 401 00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:12,720 Speaker 1: you think it would make a difference, not only for 402 00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:15,600 Speaker 1: people of color, but for people in general, like you 403 00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:17,840 Speaker 1: were saying, getting people to realize that it's an actual 404 00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:21,920 Speaker 1: career if we stopped calling it the service industry and 405 00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:25,159 Speaker 1: and talked about it as hospitality, because that's what you 406 00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:29,440 Speaker 1: were putting a nail on, Like, no, it's hospitality. It's 407 00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:32,080 Speaker 1: me making you the drink that I know how to 408 00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:33,879 Speaker 1: make the best because I know you're going to enjoy it, 409 00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:37,200 Speaker 1: and like me having taking the time to make you 410 00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:42,639 Speaker 1: have a good night versus I think it's purely just 411 00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:45,200 Speaker 1: the way people think about it. It's like service makes 412 00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:46,879 Speaker 1: it sound like it's worked, like it's a job, but 413 00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:49,359 Speaker 1: which and I mean like two us work that you 414 00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:52,680 Speaker 1: don't want to do, like it's not anything to enjoy 415 00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:56,879 Speaker 1: versus hospitality has a has a more positive ringtone. And 416 00:24:56,960 --> 00:25:00,520 Speaker 1: I wonder if people would have a different perception of 417 00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:03,280 Speaker 1: what we're doing if we change, like if we quit 418 00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:07,720 Speaker 1: calling at that. I'm just curious. Um, great question, Katie. 419 00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:12,399 Speaker 1: I do think that the wordplay is a very thin 420 00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:16,080 Speaker 1: line between like the word play, um, the actual definition 421 00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:18,800 Speaker 1: of service, the actual definition of hospitality. They're clearly going 422 00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:23,600 Speaker 1: to be something different. Um. There are universities that have 423 00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:27,800 Speaker 1: a hospitality department because people that I've met that have 424 00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:31,040 Speaker 1: a degree in hospitality, And I'm like, you went to 425 00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:33,960 Speaker 1: school for this. You went, you went to school, you 426 00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:38,280 Speaker 1: spent money on this when it's quote unquote the hard 427 00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:41,000 Speaker 1: knocked life, Like it's the principle of life. Like what 428 00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:45,040 Speaker 1: we do for service, I'd say, is it's a natural 429 00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:48,320 Speaker 1: like you want to do it, you just happen to, 430 00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:50,800 Speaker 1: just like being nice to people, are giving to people, 431 00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:54,960 Speaker 1: or you know, just get Yeah, there's no other word, 432 00:25:55,040 --> 00:26:00,119 Speaker 1: like I enjoy this gift of humanity. Um. I oh, 433 00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:07,480 Speaker 1: if you um spill service in cursive hospitality, you know, 434 00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:13,399 Speaker 1: I don't. I think it would be very good survey 435 00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:16,879 Speaker 1: to say, you know, do you feel like services the 436 00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:21,680 Speaker 1: old church hum of work, or it's hospitality, Like I 437 00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:23,600 Speaker 1: went to school for this, I know, because those people 438 00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:26,359 Speaker 1: didn't do it naturally. I mean maybe they did, but 439 00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:29,720 Speaker 1: we would be acing every class with like triple A 440 00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:34,320 Speaker 1: plus is in hospitality school? Well, I think maybe hospitality 441 00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:39,800 Speaker 1: school is more like the technical aspects, right, like like 442 00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:45,760 Speaker 1: like refining your verbage management track. You know, um um, 443 00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:47,480 Speaker 1: you know a lot of people don't know how to 444 00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:50,280 Speaker 1: set a table, where is the where does the dessert 445 00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:54,680 Speaker 1: spoon go? Where does your water glasgow? You know, those 446 00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:57,080 Speaker 1: kinds of things. I think also maybe I'm not sure 447 00:26:57,200 --> 00:27:01,200 Speaker 1: I'm a college dropout. I'm not sure. I'm just I'm 448 00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:06,880 Speaker 1: assuming that right. But not a lot of people don't 449 00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:10,520 Speaker 1: know that etiquette. People don't know etiquette. People don't know etiquette. 450 00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:12,359 Speaker 1: But I do think that there is a difference between 451 00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:18,760 Speaker 1: service and hospitality. And I also think that hospitality that 452 00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:23,840 Speaker 1: I tend to see that term geared more towards um, 453 00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:28,000 Speaker 1: like the resort, the hotel kind of avenue of what 454 00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:33,800 Speaker 1: we do, because hospitality meaning more so like okay, welcome 455 00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:36,159 Speaker 1: to it. The four seasons you're at home for the 456 00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:38,560 Speaker 1: next four nights that you're here, and I have to 457 00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:42,359 Speaker 1: do everything possible to make you really feel like this 458 00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:46,480 Speaker 1: is your home, you know, versus you know, coming into 459 00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:50,600 Speaker 1: a standalone restaurant enjoying a meal for a couple of hours. 460 00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:54,600 Speaker 1: When I work to the Emeralds, it is definitely hospitality heavy, 461 00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:57,800 Speaker 1: but we also service heavy, because my man just said, 462 00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:01,040 Speaker 1: hospital like the setting the tables, when you two forks 463 00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:03,400 Speaker 1: all the water, you know, what's the water glass or whatever. 464 00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:06,120 Speaker 1: But our service was how we made those people feel 465 00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:08,959 Speaker 1: like we anticipate in their needs, how we take care 466 00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:10,720 Speaker 1: of them, how we're nice to them, how we meet, 467 00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:12,480 Speaker 1: like to say in their name over and them again. 468 00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:14,639 Speaker 1: That was part of the service part. The hospitality I 469 00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:17,440 Speaker 1: part was making them feel welcome. So it goes hand 470 00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:19,000 Speaker 1: in hand. I mean, I don't think it should change. 471 00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:23,320 Speaker 1: I don't feel like it puts any damn for downgrade 472 00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:25,840 Speaker 1: my what I do. It's just kind of like a 473 00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:27,720 Speaker 1: It's just like one transition another. You could be in 474 00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:29,480 Speaker 1: hospitality and all you do sit at the death of 475 00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:32,520 Speaker 1: the concierge service, but services when you take care of 476 00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:35,040 Speaker 1: those people and you want to do and you go like, hey, 477 00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:38,000 Speaker 1: Mr Robinson, welcome back, and we have this for you. 478 00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:39,880 Speaker 1: We want to make sure you're taking care of our 479 00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:43,280 Speaker 1: That's where the service parts come from me and I 480 00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:46,160 Speaker 1: don't I don't take that. They don't think they're mutually exclusive. 481 00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:48,760 Speaker 1: I just feel like they're just just one they one 482 00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:50,960 Speaker 1: needs to to the other thing. It just kind of 483 00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:53,080 Speaker 1: rolls right in their intend them. They just go together 484 00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:55,320 Speaker 1: just regardless of whether you say it one way or 485 00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:58,000 Speaker 1: do something else. There's your hospitality is welcome them in 486 00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:00,360 Speaker 1: the services, how well you take care of the so 487 00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:03,280 Speaker 1: it kind of leads into that. So yeah, I don't 488 00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:07,200 Speaker 1: think you need to the bourbons shouldn't change.

You know, I'm giving great service and 491 00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:15,520 Speaker 1: that means I'm going to make sure you're taken care of. 492 00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:18,920 Speaker 1: And that's just really it. It shouldn't. It's not really 493 00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:21,200 Speaker 1: a big deal. I mean, if somebody feels that way, 494 00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:24,000 Speaker 1: then you are in a wrong business. Friend. I just 495 00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:26,080 Speaker 1: kind of just don't even because if it's if that's 496 00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:28,560 Speaker 1: something that small bothers you about being in the service industry, 497 00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:31,800 Speaker 1: then Jesus you have a lot Yeah, because do you 498 00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:33,400 Speaker 1: know you're here to take care of people, You're here 499 00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:35,240 Speaker 1: to make them great things, here to do great things 500 00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:38,160 Speaker 1: for them.

I make money at it, 521 00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:47,040 Speaker 1: I've moved my way up, worked hard at it, and 522 00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:49,680 Speaker 1: you know, again, people still some people still don't see 523 00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:52,000 Speaker 1: it every day. It's I mean, definitely old school. They 524 00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:55,600 Speaker 1: still want to see go back and finish that law degree, like, 525 00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:01,840 Speaker 1: but there's this here. I couldn't do that. So that 526 00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:03,840 Speaker 1: is another good question because I know they've just been 527 00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:05,880 Speaker 1: talking with you guys, and I'm asking you, like, how 528 00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:08,240 Speaker 1: do you feel about the you know, sexual harassment stuff 529 00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:10,680 Speaker 1: people in the service industry and people in the hospitality industry, 530 00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:13,440 Speaker 1: people being a part in Women specifically have to have 531 00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:16,480 Speaker 1: really really thick skins, and you guys go through some 532 00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:20,040 Speaker 1: hard So one of the questions one of the things 533 00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:22,680 Speaker 1: I would ask, let's say we're bringing in young uh 534 00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:26,320 Speaker 1: young women, are those who identify as female coming in 535 00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:27,560 Speaker 1: and be like, you know what, I do want to 536 00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:30,240 Speaker 1: be a part of this industry because I'm fascinated about 537 00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:34,400 Speaker 1: the alchemy aspect of creating something different or doing something perfectly, 538 00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:37,440 Speaker 1: or or learning or being in competitions. What would be 539 00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:39,840 Speaker 1: a piece of advice you could give to them as 540 00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:48,280 Speaker 1: a warning, warning, advice or warning. I mean, okay, so 541 00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:51,520 Speaker 1: sexual harassment is in a lot of industries. I don't 542 00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:55,640 Speaker 1: think that it's something that the service industry has. I 543 00:31:55,680 --> 00:32:00,400 Speaker 1: guess it's open for you. Maybe I think you're at 544 00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:02,200 Speaker 1: a bar, you've kind of like more of a free 545 00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:06,360 Speaker 1: flow and kind of situations. But no, I mean that 546 00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:09,920 Speaker 1: may be a way to look at it, if I 547 00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:14,480 Speaker 1: were to say one piece of advice to anyone, Because 548 00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:17,640 Speaker 1: I don't necessarily I've known men to be sexual harassed. 549 00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:21,800 Speaker 1: It's not it's just not a woman's struggle. Learn how 550 00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:26,960 Speaker 1: to say no and mean it with a smile. Yeah, 551 00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:28,680 Speaker 1: I kind of want to pay you back on what 552 00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:34,000 Speaker 1: Tokey just said. Not necessarily related to harassment necessarily of 553 00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:36,720 Speaker 1: any sort or like inappropriate behavior, but learning to say 554 00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:41,680 Speaker 1: no in general. Because as much as this industry has 555 00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:43,240 Speaker 1: done for us and given us and parted us up, 556 00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:45,760 Speaker 1: I don't think any of us can argue that it 557 00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:49,560 Speaker 1: is also an industry that can take advantage of your 558 00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:53,720 Speaker 1: time and your personal well, like how much you have 559 00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:57,400 Speaker 1: to give. You can't like getting paid time off is 560 00:32:57,440 --> 00:32:59,800 Speaker 1: not really a thing at a bar like things like that, 561 00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:03,680 Speaker 1: and if somebody calls out and there's only two people there, 562 00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:06,640 Speaker 1: like you, someone has to feel like you can make 563 00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:08,800 Speaker 1: it work. But it's not a place where it's like, 564 00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:10,520 Speaker 1: oh it's fine, you couldn't can't make it on far 565 00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:14,080 Speaker 1: day or whatever. Um, but like if you're gonna stay, 566 00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:17,880 Speaker 1: learning to say no and like learning to not if 567 00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:20,240 Speaker 1: you're like I think many of us are not, feel 568 00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:22,920 Speaker 1: guilty about me like no, I can't pick that chipped up, 569 00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:26,040 Speaker 1: I cannot work this eighth day in a row for you. 570 00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:28,320 Speaker 1: I cannot do such and such like I have to 571 00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:31,200 Speaker 1: go home and sit with my dog. So two different 572 00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:34,120 Speaker 1: knows like a customer no, or like a coworker not 573 00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:36,160 Speaker 1: of like please do not touch me, and I know 574 00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:39,000 Speaker 1: of like this is my time, like I gotta go, 575 00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:42,160 Speaker 1: like this is not my whole life. I love it here, 576 00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:44,959 Speaker 1: I love what we do, but I won't tomorrow if 577 00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:47,520 Speaker 1: you don't let me go home right now. Yeah, I 578 00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:51,640 Speaker 1: had to learning that was important for me because I did. 579 00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:54,640 Speaker 1: I felt guilty when like if you're relied on if 580 00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:56,720 Speaker 1: you say no, like, oh, they're not going to rely 581 00:33:56,800 --> 00:33:58,440 Speaker 1: on me anymore. Like if I if I don't just 582 00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:01,560 Speaker 1: like I know that's true, but the feeling, but the 583 00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:04,080 Speaker 1: feeling of being like if I say no now, well 584 00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:06,560 Speaker 1: then I'm not going to get it next time or whatever. 585 00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:13,279 Speaker 1: I think. I think, not me, but I think most 586 00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:22,160 Speaker 1: women are raised to be as appeasing and nice and 587 00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:26,160 Speaker 1: accommodating as possible, right, So I think that that's kind 588 00:34:26,200 --> 00:34:30,560 Speaker 1: of where that issue comes from, saying no, like you 589 00:34:30,680 --> 00:34:35,120 Speaker 1: said no, you told a man no, Like no, sir. 590 00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:38,360 Speaker 1: Please don't call me sugar. Um. My name is to 591 00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:47,719 Speaker 1: a time like a yeah or whatever. Yeah, both of 592 00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:51,120 Speaker 1: those things. My name is not little lady. Um, my 593 00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:53,839 Speaker 1: name is TOKEI what may I offer you to drink? 594 00:34:55,760 --> 00:35:03,440 Speaker 1: I mean I'm six ft two, I'm not anyway. Um. 595 00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:08,160 Speaker 1: I think knowing yourself walking into it is really important 596 00:35:08,239 --> 00:35:11,120 Speaker 1: because we do have to put on the ritz when 597 00:35:11,160 --> 00:35:12,560 Speaker 1: you get to work. You do have to put on 598 00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:14,799 Speaker 1: the show, and we all don't wake up as bright 599 00:35:14,880 --> 00:35:17,239 Speaker 1: and bubbly as we think unless sometimes you're me and 600 00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:20,800 Speaker 1: it's kind of creepy. Um, why am I so happy? 601 00:35:21,600 --> 00:35:26,319 Speaker 1: Because I'm blessed? But I think knowing who you are, 602 00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:28,920 Speaker 1: like we're different people at home than we are at work, 603 00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:30,520 Speaker 1: or you might be the same person at home and 604 00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:34,080 Speaker 1: at work. Um, I've worked alongside Tokey before and I've 605 00:35:34,120 --> 00:35:36,920 Speaker 1: seen her get it together. I've worked with a long 606 00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:40,360 Speaker 1: with Keisha before and she's like, we're doing this like 607 00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:43,319 Speaker 1: it's a it's a flow, and if Katie as well. 608 00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:46,360 Speaker 1: It's just you just kind of click into your your 609 00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:49,600 Speaker 1: quote unquote role, your acting role, your character, your work ethic. 610 00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:54,280 Speaker 1: But I think knowing who you actually are after work 611 00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:57,000 Speaker 1: and at work is very very It's a good safe 612 00:35:57,040 --> 00:35:59,640 Speaker 1: stone to say, this is what I'm doing, this is 613 00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:02,359 Speaker 1: what I'm to represent, this is what I'm putting out there. 614 00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:05,640 Speaker 1: Also what able? What what you're also able to accept? 615 00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:09,120 Speaker 1: You know, if you are going through things at home, 616 00:36:09,239 --> 00:36:11,560 Speaker 1: you know, getting to work, you might get you know, 617 00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:14,200 Speaker 1: you might expound a little too much and be too 618 00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:17,239 Speaker 1: sensitive and it could mess up the way you work, 619 00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:20,759 Speaker 1: or vice versa. Maybe work is a horrible place and 620 00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:22,759 Speaker 1: the home is a great place and you get to 621 00:36:22,800 --> 00:36:24,680 Speaker 1: work and you're just get in angry face. So I 622 00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:28,880 Speaker 1: think knowing who you are as an individual, which do 623 00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:31,160 Speaker 1: we really know who we are? Sometimes? But I think 624 00:36:31,239 --> 00:36:33,640 Speaker 1: knowing who we are when you get another car or 625 00:36:34,560 --> 00:36:36,480 Speaker 1: I did get a little deep, but I think about 626 00:36:36,520 --> 00:36:39,840 Speaker 1: that because um, we work in the industry that is 627 00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:43,280 Speaker 1: giving all the time. So you have to be rooted 628 00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:46,960 Speaker 1: in something um like your personality or your brand or 629 00:36:47,120 --> 00:36:50,879 Speaker 1: the actual goal while you're working there, not just money, money, money, money, money. 630 00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:54,480 Speaker 1: You Definitely a lot of people don't know who they are, 631 00:36:54,840 --> 00:37:00,120 Speaker 1: but it helps. It definitely helps. When I first out 632 00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:04,320 Speaker 1: in this industry, believe it or not, I was scared 633 00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:06,759 Speaker 1: to death to talk to people that I didn't know, 634 00:37:08,239 --> 00:37:12,719 Speaker 1: like trembling, scared, like you're a stranger. I don't like it, 635 00:37:12,960 --> 00:37:15,719 Speaker 1: terrified me. Long story short, The point I'm trying to 636 00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:18,880 Speaker 1: make is that if you let it, and if you 637 00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:23,359 Speaker 1: work hard and you really allow this industry, it will 638 00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:29,360 Speaker 1: teach you so much about yourself in that you're learning 639 00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:33,439 Speaker 1: about other people if you're paying attention, and it will 640 00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:36,720 Speaker 1: if you allow it, it will allow you to chisel 641 00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:40,880 Speaker 1: away and it almost trained you to bring out the 642 00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:45,160 Speaker 1: best qualities of yourself, like when you have to, like 643 00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:47,799 Speaker 1: when you need to you know, I'm having a bad day, 644 00:37:47,960 --> 00:37:51,120 Speaker 1: like get it together, and you kind of learn how 645 00:37:51,160 --> 00:37:54,080 Speaker 1: to manage yourself and manage your emotions and manage your 646 00:37:54,640 --> 00:37:58,800 Speaker 1: you manage you because it's not about you, unfortunately, like 647 00:37:58,880 --> 00:38:01,440 Speaker 1: when I'm when I'm at work, it's not about me. 648 00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:05,520 Speaker 1: Do I have the hospitality exactly? And it lets you 649 00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:08,040 Speaker 1: like that's the It's almost like it's strange, but it's 650 00:38:08,040 --> 00:38:13,880 Speaker 1: almost therapeutic. But it's like you give so much to others. 651 00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:17,600 Speaker 1: It's not about you, but in that you learned so 652 00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:20,799 Speaker 1: much about yourself and how to manage yourself and how 653 00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:24,799 Speaker 1: to um manage your feelings. And it's not the end 654 00:38:24,840 --> 00:38:29,680 Speaker 1: of the world. That's it. Life is good, though it's 655 00:38:29,719 --> 00:38:33,560 Speaker 1: not the end of the world. When I thought about 656 00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:37,759 Speaker 1: what to bring, I knew that my sisters here, we're 657 00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:40,480 Speaker 1: going to bring stuff, and I was like, I don't know. 658 00:38:40,719 --> 00:38:42,320 Speaker 1: I'm kind of in a brain fart. What am I 659 00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:46,000 Speaker 1: gonna make? Blah blah blah blah blah. Because when I'm 660 00:38:46,040 --> 00:38:48,719 Speaker 1: not bartending, I do have a life. I do other things, 661 00:38:48,840 --> 00:38:51,480 Speaker 1: and I do have a full bar in my truck. 662 00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:55,080 Speaker 1: I grew up again in a very fun family where 663 00:38:55,120 --> 00:38:58,840 Speaker 1: it's a party anywhere, and are what we do is 664 00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:01,279 Speaker 1: it's a lifestyle. But because of what I do, it's 665 00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:03,279 Speaker 1: a lifestyle. Then there's times that you could be at 666 00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:06,120 Speaker 1: an event and we're short of glassware, we're short of 667 00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:10,800 Speaker 1: who needs a barspoon or like whatever. I it's like 668 00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:12,520 Speaker 1: a big person. I'm like, let me look at my 669 00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:15,080 Speaker 1: person and see what I got. Um. But I have 670 00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:18,120 Speaker 1: I keep a flask on me at all times. I 671 00:39:18,239 --> 00:39:22,000 Speaker 1: have since I was twenty one. My grandfather had a flask. 672 00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:23,880 Speaker 1: I just thought it was so cool. He would just 673 00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:26,200 Speaker 1: put out a flask and take a swig, and I'm like, 674 00:39:26,480 --> 00:39:30,960 Speaker 1: that is the coolest thing ever that you have liquor 675 00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:34,360 Speaker 1: on you at all time. But as I got nerdier 676 00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:37,279 Speaker 1: and got more educated into the industry and booze and 677 00:39:37,520 --> 00:39:42,279 Speaker 1: you know, different components of this industry, the flask was 678 00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:45,120 Speaker 1: something that I used to hide. Like if people see 679 00:39:45,120 --> 00:39:46,360 Speaker 1: you drink and they're like, oh my god, you've been 680 00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:48,680 Speaker 1: drinking of it all day and I might have been, 681 00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:53,360 Speaker 1: or um, it just may be there, for it doesn't 682 00:39:53,400 --> 00:39:59,839 Speaker 1: flask do not hold that much alcohol, And yeah if 683 00:39:59,840 --> 00:40:01,759 Speaker 1: I do, if anyone ever does see me with my 684 00:40:01,800 --> 00:40:03,040 Speaker 1: flask and I kind of look at me like, oh, 685 00:40:03,120 --> 00:40:05,520 Speaker 1: I'm like, did you want something like And I'm not like, 686 00:40:05,640 --> 00:40:09,360 Speaker 1: did you want someone like you know, like, yeah, you know, 687 00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:14,080 Speaker 1: breaking case of emergencies. Um, But I am always safe. Um. 688 00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:17,200 Speaker 1: But the flask was created by a woman, and I 689 00:40:17,320 --> 00:40:20,280 Speaker 1: hate Once I found that out, I was like general, 690 00:40:20,480 --> 00:40:26,719 Speaker 1: like in general, no most flask, Um, let's go right, yeah, um, 691 00:40:27,040 --> 00:40:29,960 Speaker 1: flask would curve. This is prohibition time. Look at my 692 00:40:30,080 --> 00:40:32,440 Speaker 1: trustees sister pulling a flask out of her bag right now. 693 00:40:33,080 --> 00:40:36,200 Speaker 1: The curvature on a flask was supposed to be placed 694 00:40:36,320 --> 00:40:39,479 Speaker 1: in a hip, hence the hip flask or the side 695 00:40:39,560 --> 00:40:42,799 Speaker 1: of the bosom or maybe sometimes in the arm. Prohibition 696 00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:45,400 Speaker 1: was crazy, Like could you imagine right now if the 697 00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:48,520 Speaker 1: government told us, all right, guys, we ain't drinking no more. 698 00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:55,000 Speaker 1: That's like one day they're saying, hey, guys, pork is 699 00:40:55,080 --> 00:40:57,279 Speaker 1: no longer available in the States. And I used pork 700 00:40:57,280 --> 00:40:59,560 Speaker 1: a lot because people are like work, I think we're 701 00:40:59,560 --> 00:41:01,960 Speaker 1: gonna die. Um, but if the were all just if 702 00:41:02,040 --> 00:41:06,320 Speaker 1: America's the rule was no more alcohol and that was 703 00:41:06,360 --> 00:41:09,960 Speaker 1: back then, Um, this is you know, post World War one, 704 00:41:10,040 --> 00:41:12,359 Speaker 1: like this is this is America being built and then 705 00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:18,040 Speaker 1: they stopped the liquor. Um. So just knowing, like just 706 00:41:18,160 --> 00:41:21,760 Speaker 1: thinking about who I would be or where my upbringing 707 00:41:21,800 --> 00:41:23,480 Speaker 1: would be if there was no alcohol, I feel like 708 00:41:23,520 --> 00:41:26,240 Speaker 1: it'd be kind of strange. Any who um speak, easier 709 00:41:26,239 --> 00:41:29,839 Speaker 1: to being created and there's mills and women and having um, 710 00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:34,240 Speaker 1: they're still having drinks. But smuggling is real. And women 711 00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:38,680 Speaker 1: were not searched, they were not checked on, and it 712 00:41:38,800 --> 00:41:40,840 Speaker 1: wasn't even appropriate for a woman to be in the 713 00:41:40,880 --> 00:41:42,839 Speaker 1: behind less she was in the arms of her man. 714 00:41:43,560 --> 00:41:46,960 Speaker 1: So what did her man do, Hey, bib, meet me 715 00:41:47,040 --> 00:41:50,680 Speaker 1: at the bar. I'll bring this club soda and you 716 00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:53,800 Speaker 1: bring this liquor. And that's exactly what they did. And 717 00:41:53,960 --> 00:42:00,040 Speaker 1: so smuggling alcohol was um behind the scenes, but it 718 00:42:00,200 --> 00:42:03,719 Speaker 1: was you know, it was definitely embedded for women to 719 00:42:04,880 --> 00:42:07,279 Speaker 1: not look the part because a woman would dare not 720 00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:12,799 Speaker 1: have liquor on her unless it was the Thursday. Well 721 00:42:14,760 --> 00:42:20,120 Speaker 1: it's ladies Night from Yeah, that's where the Ladies Night 722 00:42:20,200 --> 00:42:23,480 Speaker 1: comes from. Yeah, on Thursdays, they would let women into bars, 723 00:42:23,760 --> 00:42:26,840 Speaker 1: so they were loaded in alcohol. They were smuggling in 724 00:42:26,880 --> 00:42:30,280 Speaker 1: those pretty bustles and petticoats and all that good stuff. 725 00:42:30,320 --> 00:42:33,640 Speaker 1: So once I found that out, I carried to flask 726 00:42:33,760 --> 00:42:39,320 Speaker 1: with me at all times in honor of me, with 727 00:42:39,400 --> 00:42:41,960 Speaker 1: the honor of my ancestors. But I just I think 728 00:42:41,960 --> 00:42:44,960 Speaker 1: it's cool. So I bought a flask of tequila. The 729 00:42:45,080 --> 00:42:48,439 Speaker 1: good sugar um, some of the best and I thought 730 00:42:48,440 --> 00:42:56,080 Speaker 1: i'd share with you. Thanks. We're talking about like women 731 00:42:56,239 --> 00:43:00,160 Speaker 1: just starting booze. Um that that's if no, when he 732 00:43:00,239 --> 00:43:05,400 Speaker 1: knows that women were also the original brewers. Uh. And 733 00:43:05,680 --> 00:43:10,200 Speaker 1: that's also where the stereotype of a witch comes from. Yeah, 734 00:43:10,360 --> 00:43:18,279 Speaker 1: so before men and specifically Christian men. Thanks Catholics. Um, 735 00:43:18,560 --> 00:43:22,440 Speaker 1: I grew up Catholic. That's fine. Realized a mostly that 736 00:43:22,520 --> 00:43:27,279 Speaker 1: you could make money off of brewing. Brewing, whether it 737 00:43:27,480 --> 00:43:30,560 Speaker 1: was beer or cider or whatever, was mostly and in 738 00:43:30,680 --> 00:43:34,440 Speaker 1: the home practice or in your small community practice. And 739 00:43:34,560 --> 00:43:37,120 Speaker 1: it was pretty much only women that did it. And 740 00:43:38,239 --> 00:43:43,440 Speaker 1: ale wives would wear tall pointed hats to be so 741 00:43:43,520 --> 00:43:44,840 Speaker 1: that you could spot them in a crowd and be 742 00:43:44,920 --> 00:43:49,399 Speaker 1: like that lady has the beer. Um. They would put 743 00:43:49,480 --> 00:43:52,920 Speaker 1: a broom on the top of their sign or like 744 00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:54,800 Speaker 1: their door post or whatever to say, hey, y'all, the 745 00:43:54,840 --> 00:43:56,680 Speaker 1: batch is ready, like you can come over now, and 746 00:43:57,080 --> 00:44:00,520 Speaker 1: often had cats because where there is grain, as rats, 747 00:44:01,400 --> 00:44:04,560 Speaker 1: dost cats. Um. And so then when dudes were like 748 00:44:04,719 --> 00:44:09,359 Speaker 1: wait but money and also just general control, which at 749 00:44:09,400 --> 00:44:12,080 Speaker 1: the time the easiest way to get to control people 750 00:44:12,160 --> 00:44:14,200 Speaker 1: was to tell them they were going to go to hell. Um, 751 00:44:14,239 --> 00:44:16,000 Speaker 1: they turned they demonized it and I was like, oh no, 752 00:44:16,160 --> 00:44:18,560 Speaker 1: that's that's what a witch looks like. So when like 753 00:44:18,960 --> 00:44:21,279 Speaker 1: witch hunting became a thing, like they picked up that 754 00:44:21,960 --> 00:44:28,440 Speaker 1: image to kill the female industry of making booze and 755 00:44:28,640 --> 00:44:34,120 Speaker 1: also to push it into a more industrialized space. That 756 00:44:34,280 --> 00:44:38,840 Speaker 1: exact same story goes for moonshiners, UM and whiskey makers. 757 00:44:38,920 --> 00:44:41,399 Speaker 1: Because to what you said about cats, Um, where they're 758 00:44:41,800 --> 00:44:45,279 Speaker 1: are grains, there are cats and the women the quote 759 00:44:45,360 --> 00:44:48,960 Speaker 1: unquote catwoman, the lady with a bunch of cats. That 760 00:44:49,280 --> 00:44:52,160 Speaker 1: was like, it's pretty much de womanized or make us 761 00:44:52,160 --> 00:44:59,200 Speaker 1: weirdos um, But that was to protect her. I did 762 00:44:59,360 --> 00:45:05,960 Speaker 1: not know that. That is really cool.

Don't go to bars and 893 00:53:26,920 --> 00:53:29,719 Speaker 1: look at a cocktail menu and ask the bartender what's good. 894 00:53:30,880 --> 00:53:33,920 Speaker 1: Let us know a little bit more about you and 895 00:53:34,040 --> 00:53:36,200 Speaker 1: we can guide you in the right direction.

Um. 902 00:54:01,960 --> 00:54:05,080 Speaker 1: My one liner, maybe two one liners are, if you 903 00:54:05,120 --> 00:54:07,480 Speaker 1: don't like the way alcohol taste, please don't drink it. 904 00:54:08,320 --> 00:54:10,880 Speaker 1: You don't have to. It's okay. You don't like it, 905 00:54:11,160 --> 00:54:14,320 Speaker 1: if it burns, if it does something that you please, 906 00:54:14,320 --> 00:54:17,560 Speaker 1: don't feel like you have to do it. It's it's okay. Um. 907 00:54:18,480 --> 00:54:21,719 Speaker 1: And if you are lost at the bar and you 908 00:54:21,760 --> 00:54:24,160 Speaker 1: don't know what to do, look at that awesome person 909 00:54:24,239 --> 00:54:26,680 Speaker 1: that's getting paid to do the job and say, just 910 00:54:26,880 --> 00:54:30,560 Speaker 1: make me something, even though we're gonna look at you 911 00:54:30,600 --> 00:54:32,560 Speaker 1: and ask a few questions, but just kind of what 912 00:54:32,680 --> 00:54:35,040 Speaker 1: you like. And it's easy to start off saying what 913 00:54:35,239 --> 00:54:40,800 Speaker 1: you don't like.
