0:00:06.720 --> 0:00:10.640
<v Speaker 1>My dad told me, like I think I was like

0:00:10.760 --> 0:00:14.760
<v Speaker 1>probably a baby, that his money was his money, and um,

0:00:15.360 --> 0:00:17.240
<v Speaker 1>I didn't have any money until I got a job,

0:00:17.400 --> 0:00:19.680
<v Speaker 1>so um, I had to get up out there and

0:00:19.720 --> 0:00:22.639
<v Speaker 1>get like, now, mind you, I don't want to like say,

0:00:22.640 --> 0:00:25.120
<v Speaker 1>my parents didn't like totally like give me everything under

0:00:25.160 --> 0:00:28.240
<v Speaker 1>the sun, similar to you. I like, you know, I

0:00:28.280 --> 0:00:30.840
<v Speaker 1>had everything I wanted, but my dad was like, yeah,

0:00:31.040 --> 0:00:35.960
<v Speaker 1>this is my money, so um, which was aft. So

0:00:36.080 --> 0:00:37.760
<v Speaker 1>I decided to get a job at like fifteen. But

0:00:37.800 --> 0:00:40.040
<v Speaker 1>that was like the best thing he could have ever

0:00:40.120 --> 0:00:42.880
<v Speaker 1>liked taught me. And I try to instill that in

0:00:43.000 --> 0:00:44.559
<v Speaker 1>my kids, but they'd be getting over I'd just be

0:00:44.560 --> 0:00:47.800
<v Speaker 1>behind him everything. Um. But anyway, So at fifteen, I

0:00:47.800 --> 0:00:49.440
<v Speaker 1>went out and got a job at Heart Ease. That

0:00:49.479 --> 0:00:52.440
<v Speaker 1>was my first job, best eating up in town, up

0:00:52.440 --> 0:00:55.040
<v Speaker 1>and down all around. I think that's the slogan. I

0:00:55.040 --> 0:00:58.040
<v Speaker 1>don't know I made that up. So um, they realized

0:00:58.080 --> 0:01:00.920
<v Speaker 1>I was fifteen, like after the first week, they were like, girl,

0:01:00.920 --> 0:01:02.680
<v Speaker 1>you're too young. You can't work here because it was

0:01:02.680 --> 0:01:05.640
<v Speaker 1>like some child labor law. I thought I could. They

0:01:05.640 --> 0:01:08.560
<v Speaker 1>were like your fire And I got fired from my

0:01:08.600 --> 0:01:13.200
<v Speaker 1>first job in like five days. Okay. So um. I

0:01:13.280 --> 0:01:16.479
<v Speaker 1>worked at chest Peake Bay Seafood House, which was like

0:01:17.040 --> 0:01:20.000
<v Speaker 1>all you can eat spot. So it's like they don't

0:01:20.040 --> 0:01:21.679
<v Speaker 1>have these anymore, I don't think, but like you pay

0:01:21.720 --> 0:01:23.880
<v Speaker 1>a certain price and you can get everything on the menu,

0:01:24.760 --> 0:01:27.120
<v Speaker 1>and so like you have the waitress has to like

0:01:27.240 --> 0:01:29.600
<v Speaker 1>run back to the to the kitchen every eight seconds.

0:01:29.640 --> 0:01:31.880
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god. And people used to ask me, like,

0:01:31.880 --> 0:01:34.280
<v Speaker 1>our yoursues comfortable, because you're gonna be running the night

0:01:34.280 --> 0:01:37.319
<v Speaker 1>gairl ore issues comfortable. I said, now I can't do this,

0:01:37.400 --> 0:01:43.560
<v Speaker 1>I quick right long after that was about four days, okay.

0:01:43.640 --> 0:01:47.600
<v Speaker 1>So then I started working for Postal Pizza, which was

0:01:47.680 --> 0:01:52.400
<v Speaker 1>like equivalent to like a Domino. Okay. So I was

0:01:52.440 --> 0:01:54.520
<v Speaker 1>the girl that answered the phone. I was like, hello

0:01:54.600 --> 0:01:58.000
<v Speaker 1>Postal Pizza, can I help you please? And I would

0:01:58.000 --> 0:02:00.960
<v Speaker 1>take their order okay okay, and then the drivers will

0:02:01.000 --> 0:02:03.000
<v Speaker 1>come and get the pizza and drive it out. So

0:02:03.120 --> 0:02:05.360
<v Speaker 1>I would literally have five phones in front of me

0:02:05.400 --> 0:02:07.040
<v Speaker 1>and they would all be ringing at the same time,

0:02:07.040 --> 0:02:09.160
<v Speaker 1>and I was the only girl there to answer, and

0:02:09.200 --> 0:02:11.160
<v Speaker 1>I'd be like, posta Pizza, can you hold on please

0:02:11.200 --> 0:02:14.240
<v Speaker 1>click pust the pizza. What you need post Pizza postal pizza.

0:02:14.520 --> 0:02:17.600
<v Speaker 1>It was a mess. So sometimes my dad would like

0:02:17.639 --> 0:02:22.560
<v Speaker 1>prank me. He would call and he'd be like, gaze,

0:02:22.760 --> 0:02:27.320
<v Speaker 1>he talked real slow, Giselle, your dad. So I've been

0:02:27.400 --> 0:02:30.880
<v Speaker 1>on a hole for thirty five minutes and I don't

0:02:30.960 --> 0:02:35.040
<v Speaker 1>understand why I have to wait this long. Oh my god, Dad,

0:02:35.240 --> 0:02:38.200
<v Speaker 1>leave me, leave me a loan. Yeah. He was like,

0:02:38.240 --> 0:02:40.120
<v Speaker 1>I just wanted to hear you say post to pizza.

0:02:40.160 --> 0:02:44.600
<v Speaker 1>Gn you please. My dad is the worst. Okay. So

0:02:45.120 --> 0:02:49.000
<v Speaker 1>I stayed there like throughout high school. Okay. So then

0:02:49.639 --> 0:02:51.520
<v Speaker 1>my dad was like all right, Giselle. You know he

0:02:51.520 --> 0:02:53.720
<v Speaker 1>thought I was going to be like, um super smart

0:02:53.880 --> 0:02:56.160
<v Speaker 1>and um be like a doctor or something. I don't

0:02:56.160 --> 0:02:57.560
<v Speaker 1>know what do you So he was like, I'm gonna

0:02:57.560 --> 0:03:01.000
<v Speaker 1>get yourself some internships. Okay. So one of the internships

0:03:01.040 --> 0:03:05.960
<v Speaker 1>was when I told you all before I was doing autopsies, yeah,

0:03:06.080 --> 0:03:08.280
<v Speaker 1>on dead bodies, which was insane, Like why am I

0:03:08.280 --> 0:03:10.959
<v Speaker 1>doing this? Like this is this is not even fit.

0:03:12.080 --> 0:03:14.959
<v Speaker 1>I am like a cute girl, Okay, what am I

0:03:15.120 --> 0:03:18.320
<v Speaker 1>doing cutting up bodies? Okay? That was a hot mess. Um,

0:03:18.400 --> 0:03:21.560
<v Speaker 1>So I stopped doing that, and then eventually when I

0:03:21.560 --> 0:03:25.080
<v Speaker 1>got out of college, I worked for the double a

0:03:25.080 --> 0:03:30.160
<v Speaker 1>CP and I started doing their events. So I like you,

0:03:30.440 --> 0:03:34.600
<v Speaker 1>I understand like how you have eight hundred balls in

0:03:34.600 --> 0:03:37.160
<v Speaker 1>the air for events, but they all like have to

0:03:37.200 --> 0:03:39.600
<v Speaker 1>come together and it's not like it's hard, but you

0:03:39.640 --> 0:03:41.880
<v Speaker 1>have to do everything or else the whole thing of

0:03:41.920 --> 0:03:44.400
<v Speaker 1>fall apart. Yeah, it's a lot. And so then that's

0:03:44.400 --> 0:03:48.040
<v Speaker 1>where I got to meet like President Clinton and Hillary Clinton.

0:03:48.280 --> 0:03:52.000
<v Speaker 1>And because we I had to interface with politicians and

0:03:52.680 --> 0:03:54.960
<v Speaker 1>corporations and it was like that was a great job,

0:03:55.000 --> 0:03:56.520
<v Speaker 1>Like I love that job and it was like not

0:03:56.640 --> 0:03:59.840
<v Speaker 1>work for me exactly, so that that was fantastic. And

0:04:00.040 --> 0:04:04.680
<v Speaker 1>in I did pharmaceutical sales, so I was like paid

0:04:04.960 --> 0:04:08.280
<v Speaker 1>drug dealer. Oh and those doctors love to see you

0:04:08.640 --> 0:04:11.360
<v Speaker 1>in the door. There was like zails here is this

0:04:11.440 --> 0:04:13.880
<v Speaker 1>is the thing. All of the pharmaceutical sales reps are

0:04:13.880 --> 0:04:18.640
<v Speaker 1>good looking, like that's I think the criteria. Yes, and

0:04:18.680 --> 0:04:20.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna pay you well. We got paid well. Like

0:04:20.800 --> 0:04:23.640
<v Speaker 1>our car. Things aren't like they used to be because

0:04:23.680 --> 0:04:25.640
<v Speaker 1>like I used to be able to take my doctor.

0:04:25.720 --> 0:04:28.480
<v Speaker 1>Like one I had a doctor. She was like real crazy.

0:04:28.520 --> 0:04:30.360
<v Speaker 1>She was like, let's go to the strip club, right.

0:04:30.520 --> 0:04:34.320
<v Speaker 1>I used to take her to the strip club. I'll

0:04:34.320 --> 0:04:39.920
<v Speaker 1>probably get men there was men dance. I would take

0:04:39.920 --> 0:04:41.880
<v Speaker 1>her to the Ship Club. And at the strip club

0:04:42.920 --> 0:04:45.200
<v Speaker 1>you could get a receipt because I would want to

0:04:45.200 --> 0:04:48.320
<v Speaker 1>get reimbursed. You can get a receipt that's blank, so

0:04:48.360 --> 0:04:51.400
<v Speaker 1>at the top it doesn't say it's it's very generic.

0:04:51.600 --> 0:04:55.800
<v Speaker 1>What the name is like restaurant exactly, and then you

0:04:55.800 --> 0:04:58.800
<v Speaker 1>know that way and because clearly I'm not the only

0:04:58.839 --> 0:05:01.840
<v Speaker 1>person get trying to get and burst and they've done

0:05:01.880 --> 0:05:04.080
<v Speaker 1>this before, they know how to do this, So I

0:05:04.120 --> 0:05:08.240
<v Speaker 1>would ask for the special receipt and um, they knew

0:05:08.240 --> 0:05:10.760
<v Speaker 1>exactly what I was talking about. And I used to

0:05:10.760 --> 0:05:13.520
<v Speaker 1>take doctor. That was her name. I shouldn't make that.

0:05:13.520 --> 0:05:15.839
<v Speaker 1>Shouldn't have said that. It was a lot of doctor. Yeah,

0:05:15.880 --> 0:05:18.360
<v Speaker 1>we would go to strict club. We would have a ball. Okay,

0:05:18.480 --> 0:05:21.360
<v Speaker 1>I'd be like Drake saw me where to strip us that,

0:05:21.600 --> 0:05:23.520
<v Speaker 1>let's get to dollars. Let's make it rain. This is

0:05:23.560 --> 0:05:25.280
<v Speaker 1>before to make it rain. So you're the reason they

0:05:25.360 --> 0:05:27.240
<v Speaker 1>cut back on that, because I know they cut all

0:05:27.279 --> 0:05:29.599
<v Speaker 1>that mess back. Oh, they don't do that anymore. Yeah, this.

0:05:29.920 --> 0:05:32.080
<v Speaker 1>I was a pharmaceutical rep in the good old days

0:05:32.120 --> 0:05:36.320
<v Speaker 1>when you could literally like take your doctor anywhere, and

0:05:36.960 --> 0:05:38.680
<v Speaker 1>it was fine, you can, you can just like write

0:05:38.720 --> 0:05:41.880
<v Speaker 1>it off. So they quit that because I I roined

0:05:41.880 --> 0:05:45.320
<v Speaker 1>it for everyone. I had a job running UM like

0:05:45.440 --> 0:05:50.159
<v Speaker 1>the meetings, the dinner meetings for pharmaceutical UM company. Yes,

0:05:50.360 --> 0:05:53.000
<v Speaker 1>and they hired they hired this company that I worked

0:05:53.040 --> 0:05:57.240
<v Speaker 1>for for compliance reasons because the reps would be like

0:05:57.279 --> 0:06:00.520
<v Speaker 1>so out of control. So I would be there UM

0:06:00.560 --> 0:06:03.960
<v Speaker 1>just kind of like making sure everything was above board.

0:06:04.400 --> 0:06:07.360
<v Speaker 1>Oh wow, it was like the wild wild West back then.

0:06:07.640 --> 0:06:09.400
<v Speaker 1>If you knew a drug wrap, and let's say you

0:06:09.440 --> 0:06:13.719
<v Speaker 1>needed drugs, right, you know, over the counter drugs, you

0:06:13.720 --> 0:06:15.719
<v Speaker 1>would just you would swap out like he had. I

0:06:15.800 --> 0:06:17.640
<v Speaker 1>was orthor McNeil. If you had a five of rap,

0:06:17.680 --> 0:06:20.360
<v Speaker 1>you swap out some drugs. I saw birth control pills.

0:06:20.400 --> 0:06:22.440
<v Speaker 1>Everybody was looking for me because everybody wanted birth control

0:06:22.480 --> 0:06:26.480
<v Speaker 1>pills for their girlfriend. So you know, it was definitely

0:06:26.560 --> 0:06:29.760
<v Speaker 1>wrong what we were doing. But we had fun. Yes, Yeah,

0:06:29.800 --> 0:06:32.560
<v Speaker 1>y'all ruined it. Y'all ruined it for everybody. Y'all ruined it.
