Never leaving your side, buddy. 0:00:30.280 --> 0:00:36.640 Never to the grave. Hey, speaking of of death, my 0:00:36.760 --> 0:00:41.040 niece and nephew they're they're past this now. But there 0:00:41.120 --> 0:00:44.200 was a time where the twins were I'm going to say, 0:00:44.240 --> 0:00:50.879 five years old, and they had just learned about death. Somehow, 0:00:51.840 --> 0:00:56.120 my brother and his wife they talk more openly than 0:00:56.160 --> 0:00:59.160 I do with my kids. But anyway, they had learned 0:00:59.200 --> 0:01:02.800 about death, and they thought it was the funniest thing 0:01:02.800 --> 0:01:05.280 in the world, the funniest thing. They would just come 0:01:05.360 --> 0:01:07.200 up to my brother and I. They'd come up to 0:01:07.240 --> 0:01:11.039 Andrewine and they just go, haha, your grandparents are dead. 0:01:13.120 --> 0:01:16.919 And it was I'm telling you, it was so first 0:01:16.920 --> 0:01:21.600 of all, twins in general, terrify you. They thought it 0:01:21.600 --> 0:01:23.560 was the funniest thing in the world to come up 0:01:23.560 --> 0:01:26.600 to us, make your grandparents they're dead. 0:01:27.400 --> 0:01:27.920 Crazy. 0:01:28.040 --> 0:01:30.679 Oh it's so crazy. But man, did it make us laugh. 0:01:30.840 --> 0:01:35.400 Oh yeah, we laughed hysterically at it. I don't know, 0:01:35.400 --> 0:01:37.880 I don't mean. I'm sure he's like, Oh, it's just 0:01:38.280 --> 0:01:40.160 a phase. They don't really know what they're saying. I'm like, 0:01:40.280 --> 0:01:43.280 or they do, and you've got a bunch of sociopaths 0:01:43.319 --> 0:01:44.160 living under your roof. 0:01:44.360 --> 0:01:45.400 My kids never said it. 0:01:46.000 --> 0:01:48.160 Yeah, I don't know anybody that's ever said it like that. 0:01:48.120 --> 0:01:49.279 Ever heard this story before. 0:01:49.480 --> 0:01:51.920 It's so good, it's different. And then we kind of 0:01:51.920 --> 0:01:55.160 like started feeling bad because they're like aha, and we're like, oh, 0:01:55.560 --> 0:01:58.720 I wish why did they have to die? They're old? 0:01:58.800 --> 0:02:02.240 Our grandparents shouldn't be all. Nobody has a grandparent alive here? 0:02:02.320 --> 0:02:02.480 Right? 0:02:02.680 --> 0:02:03.920 I do you do? 0:02:04.200 --> 0:02:04.600 I do? 0:02:04.880 --> 0:02:07.240 John's gotten a live grandparent? Yes? 0:02:08.000 --> 0:02:10.839 Which one my grandma my dad's side ninety four? 0:02:10.919 --> 0:02:14.800 Last one your dad's side, mom ninety four. I mean, 0:02:14.800 --> 0:02:15.720 it's not that old. 0:02:16.080 --> 0:02:17.040 I saw her last year. 0:02:17.160 --> 0:02:19.320 She said her goodbyes, and I was like, I think 0:02:19.320 --> 0:02:21.600 you're gonna live for like another nine years. 0:02:21.960 --> 0:02:24.360 She said her goodbyes a year ago to you, and 0:02:24.400 --> 0:02:25.519 she's still going. Yeah. 0:02:25.560 --> 0:02:27.520 Now she's in a nursing home. She just went to 0:02:27.600 --> 0:02:30.840 a prom and they had a play and she was 0:02:30.880 --> 0:02:31.360 the lead. 0:02:31.960 --> 0:02:35.000 M Yeah, all right, Well, here's my question to you, 0:02:35.120 --> 0:02:40.320 Eddie yeah, I got distracted by my crazy niece and nephew. 0:02:40.560 --> 0:02:48.240 Would you rather have your children or guacamole? Now, So 0:02:48.320 --> 0:02:51.320 what I'm saying is if you have your kids, then 0:02:51.360 --> 0:02:54.200 you can never have guacamole your entire life. 0:02:54.360 --> 0:02:55.960 And I've had it, so I know how good it is. 0:02:56.480 --> 0:02:57.359 Okay, that's right. 0:02:57.560 --> 0:03:01.640 Guacamole is good. I'm gonna have my kids. 0:03:01.760 --> 0:03:02.880 But you're gonna have your kids. 0:03:02.880 --> 0:03:05.079 You're gonna hold it over them that I can't have guacamole. 0:03:05.240 --> 0:03:09.519 Now you would you would have never had your kids, 0:03:09.840 --> 0:03:12.800 so you wouldn't have this attachment to them. You gotta 0:03:12.880 --> 0:03:16.040 separate yourself from who they are. Now. You gotta think 0:03:16.120 --> 0:03:19.440 pre children. I'm never gonna have guacamole again. 0:03:20.919 --> 0:03:23.600 I mean I'm thinking I don't know. You could. It 0:03:23.639 --> 0:03:24.240 depends on. 0:03:24.440 --> 0:03:26.520 Here's the thing. I bring this up to my wife, 0:03:26.600 --> 0:03:30.760 and I swear to you, she picks guacamole. What you 0:03:30.760 --> 0:03:33.440 have or if you did, she would rather have guacamole 0:03:34.000 --> 0:03:37.360 than her children. She won't say it out loud, but 0:03:37.440 --> 0:03:40.120 I can tell in the eye, in her eyes, she 0:03:40.320 --> 0:03:44.560 just loves guacamole. You know who doesn't like guacamole? My mother. 0:03:45.640 --> 0:03:49.000 She doesn't like guacamole. She gets mad at me about avocados. Yeah, 0:03:49.000 --> 0:03:51.400 I don't know why people even like avocados. There's no taste. 0:03:51.520 --> 0:03:52.280 That's the sane. 0:03:52.720 --> 0:03:56.520 Here's what I'll say. Here's what I'll say in defense 0:03:56.600 --> 0:04:01.760 of my my wonderful mother. Florida avocados are are not 0:04:01.920 --> 0:04:06.480 as good. They're four times the size, but they don't 0:04:06.520 --> 0:04:08.400 have the taste. 0:04:08.520 --> 0:04:10.760 They're not indigenous to Florida. 0:04:10.840 --> 0:04:12.920 Well, I don't know where they're getting them from. I 0:04:13.360 --> 0:04:16.279 just think I just always remember seeing like really large 0:04:16.320 --> 0:04:20.160 avocados there, but they they didn't have any taste. Maybe 0:04:20.200 --> 0:04:22.680 I don't know. Maybe she's just wrong. Would you rather 0:04:22.800 --> 0:04:28.159 have Margarita's or guacamole one or the other. You can't 0:04:28.200 --> 0:04:30.880 have both for the rest of your life. 0:04:30.200 --> 0:04:33.720 Walk em o, fuck them margharite? 0:04:34.000 --> 0:04:40.000 All right? What about guacamole or two hundred million dollars 0:04:40.080 --> 0:04:41.240 cash wuacamole? 0:04:42.760 --> 0:04:43.919 I'm going cash. 0:04:44.360 --> 0:04:47.680 You want the cash. It's a real question. Makes guacam 0:04:47.920 --> 0:04:49.760 because if you have two hundred million dollars cash, you 0:04:49.760 --> 0:04:54.080 can buy guacamole guacamole factory. No, I didn't say that. 0:04:55.560 --> 0:04:57.520 No one said you couldn't buy guacamole. 0:04:57.640 --> 0:04:59.839 John, here's what he wants to I heard that. 0:05:00.279 --> 0:05:02.880 You know, this is turning into guys, this is now 0:05:02.960 --> 0:05:07.240 turning into a podcast where we are talking about absolute, 0:05:07.520 --> 0:05:11.960 meaningless shit that only we find remotely entertaining and no 0:05:12.000 --> 0:05:15.960 one else does. We don't. I don't drink, but today's 0:05:16.000 --> 0:05:26.520 guest she's gonna make me try enjoy Casha. Today's guest 0:05:26.560 --> 0:05:29.360 is someone I would never meet out bar hopping, simply 0:05:29.400 --> 0:05:31.719 because I don't go to bars. But if you have 0:05:31.960 --> 0:05:34.960 random bottles of liquor lying around your house collecting to 0:05:35.040 --> 0:05:37.520 us like a fifth of Fireball that Dylan brought over 0:05:37.600 --> 0:05:40.400 during the pandemic, that you have absolutely no idea what 0:05:40.440 --> 0:05:43.520 to do with, She's here to help. Please Welcome home bartender, 0:05:43.600 --> 0:05:46.040 mixologist author Hannah. 0:05:46.080 --> 0:05:47.280 Thank you so much for having me. 0:05:47.480 --> 0:05:48.240 Let's get hammered. 0:05:48.360 --> 0:05:49.360 Okay, I'm ready. 0:05:49.560 --> 0:05:51.080 Hannah. Do you believe in ghosts? 0:05:51.400 --> 0:05:53.120 I do not. Do you believe in ghosts? No? 0:05:53.440 --> 0:05:56.160 What about distilled spirits? Boom? 0:05:56.560 --> 0:05:59.840 Yes, yes, I'm a big believer in that kind of spirit. 0:06:00.200 --> 0:06:02.920 The whole We've been setting up this ghost question for 0:06:02.960 --> 0:06:05.560 a year and a half to finally get Hannah in 0:06:05.600 --> 0:06:09.479 the seat so I could do the distilled spirits joke. Man, 0:06:09.520 --> 0:06:11.720 that was a good payoff. All right. I'm not a drinker, 0:06:11.880 --> 0:06:14.839 but I'd love to know what all the fuss is about. 0:06:15.160 --> 0:06:16.839 Sell me on alcohol. 0:06:17.080 --> 0:06:20.360 Hm. Wow, I don't think I've ever had to do 0:06:20.400 --> 0:06:24.479 this before. Well, for making cocktails, it makes you you 0:06:24.560 --> 0:06:26.719 probably don't need this, but it makes you very popular. 0:06:27.279 --> 0:06:30.560 So learning to make cocktails. Everyone's always thrilled to have 0:06:30.600 --> 0:06:33.159 you come to their house, come to their party. It's 0:06:33.240 --> 0:06:34.960 like you light up a room the minute you arrived 0:06:35.160 --> 0:06:36.400 with the drinks and the skills. 0:06:36.480 --> 0:06:38.000 I don't want to show up to anyone's house so 0:06:38.000 --> 0:06:40.320 that I got it different. 0:06:40.320 --> 0:06:43.159 So that was an original interest for me once I 0:06:43.240 --> 0:06:45.719 realized that I could make something that actually tasted decent. 0:06:45.920 --> 0:06:47.800 The other thing that I really love, and I don't 0:06:47.800 --> 0:06:50.320 know if you're a history person, but it really can 0:06:50.360 --> 0:06:52.880 connect to you in a very visceral way to how 0:06:52.920 --> 0:06:55.799 people have experienced things in the past, which I love. 0:06:55.880 --> 0:06:58.839 I think that's really cool, especially things like Cognac. For instance, 0:06:59.000 --> 0:06:59.159 do you. 0:06:59.200 --> 0:07:01.480 Say Cognac did different than I say it? 0:07:01.680 --> 0:07:02.359 How do you say it? 0:07:02.400 --> 0:07:04.839 I just said Kognac Cognac. Okay, okay. 0:07:04.839 --> 0:07:06.440 People make fun of my voice always. 0:07:06.440 --> 0:07:07.279 I'm not making fun of it. 0:07:07.440 --> 0:07:07.960 It's okay. 0:07:08.040 --> 0:07:10.840 But I know that I grew up in Florida public education. 0:07:11.200 --> 0:07:14.000 I know that I enunciate things poorly, so sometimes when 0:07:14.000 --> 0:07:15.760 I hear things, I'm like, oh, I've been saying that wrong. 0:07:15.880 --> 0:07:20.360 Well, I'm from Wisconsin, Madison, Wisconsin, which probably explains my 0:07:20.560 --> 0:07:23.360 interest in booze, and I had a Wisconsin accent, so 0:07:23.400 --> 0:07:25.680 I've spent years trying to get rid of it. 0:07:25.840 --> 0:07:28.440 If you were to say Wisconsin, I would have a 0:07:28.480 --> 0:07:31.120 certain preconceived notion of who you are. But when you 0:07:31.160 --> 0:07:34.320 say Madison, it completely erases it. 0:07:34.480 --> 0:07:38.119 So you know Wisconsin, of course, because that is so true, 0:07:38.160 --> 0:07:40.240 Madison is very different from the rest of the state. 0:07:40.600 --> 0:07:41.320 Why were you there? 0:07:41.440 --> 0:07:44.160 My father was a professor at the university, so that 0:07:44.240 --> 0:07:48.400 makes sense. Yeah. He's a psychopharmacologist and an addiction researcher, 0:07:48.680 --> 0:07:52.520 so he researches how to stop people from being addicted. 0:07:52.760 --> 0:07:54.480 And I do booze for a living. 0:07:54.600 --> 0:07:57.720 You're his experiment. Were you created? 0:07:58.320 --> 0:08:00.520 I don't know how. I guess this is all very 0:08:00.520 --> 0:08:01.360 advanced rebellion. 0:08:01.440 --> 0:08:04.080 Do you ever do a bar crawling lacrosse? No? 0:08:04.320 --> 0:08:04.880 I haven't. 0:08:05.200 --> 0:08:09.040 I think famously they have the most bars per square foot. 0:08:09.200 --> 0:08:10.880 That sounds that sounds like Wisconsin. 0:08:11.000 --> 0:08:13.520 Look that up. I think that's a la crosse fact 0:08:13.680 --> 0:08:17.160 that I just pulled from my younger years of touring. 0:08:17.440 --> 0:08:20.600 When someone asked what you do for a living? How 0:08:20.600 --> 0:08:21.240 do you answer? 0:08:22.720 --> 0:08:25.840 Probably how I'm going to now, which is awkwardly slowly 0:08:26.680 --> 0:08:31.000 with stutters. You know, I'm a booze content creator booze. 0:08:31.440 --> 0:08:33.640 Yeah, and that kind of makes it seem cooler. When 0:08:33.360 --> 0:08:35.200 you throw boo You're like, look, I don't take it 0:08:35.240 --> 0:08:38.000 too seriously. How is your liver? 0:08:38.280 --> 0:08:41.840 That's a good question. So far, so good, So far. 0:08:41.720 --> 0:08:45.200 So good. You ever worry that, Oh no, I might 0:08:45.240 --> 0:08:47.319 be going too far with alcohol? You just have no issues. 0:08:47.520 --> 0:08:50.760 I think it's so important to keep asking yourself those questions, right, 0:08:50.840 --> 0:08:53.160 I mean, it's an addictive substance. So if you're not 0:08:53.280 --> 0:08:55.640 kind of thinking about that and looking into it, I mean, 0:08:55.640 --> 0:08:59.960 there are health consequences, behavioral consequences. So yeah, I'm constant 0:09:00.200 --> 0:09:02.560 thinking about it, and you know, making sure I'm not 0:09:02.600 --> 0:09:03.200 overdoing it. 0:09:03.280 --> 0:09:04.360 Do you drink every day? 0:09:04.559 --> 0:09:07.000 No, not every day, that would be a lot. Probably. 0:09:07.320 --> 0:09:10.920 I drink only to reassure the people that I'm with 0:09:11.280 --> 0:09:13.880 that I'm not an alcoholic because I just always feel 0:09:13.880 --> 0:09:15.800 like if I say I'm not going to drink, then 0:09:16.040 --> 0:09:18.119 that then I have to have more conversation. 0:09:18.280 --> 0:09:20.880 We have to be very very careful. Yeah, no, I 0:09:20.960 --> 0:09:23.920 get that. I'm curious. Were you ever interested in drinking? 0:09:24.320 --> 0:09:26.120 Not even in college or nothing. 0:09:26.360 --> 0:09:28.280 No, less in college than now. 0:09:28.600 --> 0:09:30.400 So when you went to parties, you were just like, 0:09:30.880 --> 0:09:31.440 I'm cool. 0:09:31.520 --> 0:09:35.120 Here's I'm not. I certainly I wasn't cool, but I 0:09:35.240 --> 0:09:38.000 was on the prowl. I was always like I was 0:09:38.840 --> 0:09:43.079 chasing skirt as they say that was I mean, I 0:09:43.440 --> 0:09:48.559 guess I was, but not successfully. It was just bad. 0:09:48.880 --> 0:09:50.800 And I also didn't go to a lot of parties. 0:09:51.559 --> 0:09:53.280 My roommates drank a lot. 0:09:53.679 --> 0:09:55.960 And that probably was like you know, maybe you saw 0:09:55.960 --> 0:09:58.120 that new We're like, I don't know if that's for me. 0:09:58.360 --> 0:10:00.280 I think I wasn't into the taste. I never to 0:10:00.280 --> 0:10:03.760 the point of like getting trashed, and you know, nobody 0:10:03.840 --> 0:10:07.600 was fixing me fun cocktails. They were all just drinking beer, 0:10:07.720 --> 0:10:09.120 and I'm like, this is gross. 0:10:09.240 --> 0:10:09.400 You know. 0:10:09.480 --> 0:10:11.960 I feel like growing up, maybe watching movies or reading 0:10:11.960 --> 0:10:15.200 about history, I romanticized it so much that I was like, 0:10:15.240 --> 0:10:17.520 you're going to learn to like Martiniz I don't care 0:10:17.679 --> 0:10:19.400 if you don't like the taste of it. And it 0:10:19.640 --> 0:10:21.640 did take me about a year, but then I fell 0:10:21.640 --> 0:10:22.840 in love with them a year. 0:10:22.960 --> 0:10:25.240 I see, I've never committed anything for a year to 0:10:25.440 --> 0:10:25.760 like it. 0:10:25.840 --> 0:10:28.000 I mean, I wanted to be cool really badly. 0:10:28.240 --> 0:10:32.800 Uh, mission accomplished. You started your studies in Center College 0:10:32.800 --> 0:10:35.679 in Danville, Kentucky. Now is that a real place? Is 0:10:35.720 --> 0:10:36.520 my first question. 0:10:36.800 --> 0:10:39.600 It is a real place. I wanted to go someplace 0:10:39.640 --> 0:10:42.120 that was completely different from Madison, Wisconsin. 0:10:42.360 --> 0:10:43.120 Is it is it that? 0:10:43.480 --> 0:10:45.880 My gosh, it's so different because Madison's like a huge 0:10:45.920 --> 0:10:46.440 hippie town. 0:10:46.640 --> 0:10:47.000 Huh. 0:10:47.040 --> 0:10:49.360 And I'd never lived in the South or experience the 0:10:49.400 --> 0:10:52.240 South in any way, and it really was a very 0:10:52.240 --> 0:10:53.040 different experience. 0:10:53.080 --> 0:10:54.079 Do you hate the South? 0:10:54.320 --> 0:10:55.920 No, I don't hate the South. I thought it was 0:10:55.960 --> 0:10:59.679 beautiful there and insight, Oh my history some. 0:11:00.840 --> 0:11:03.680 Going on down there too. Did you study revisionist history? 0:11:03.880 --> 0:11:07.240 I did not do much studying when I was at Center. 0:11:07.280 --> 0:11:08.600 I was not a good student there. 0:11:08.760 --> 0:11:10.400 Then you went to law school for a minute or No. 0:11:10.559 --> 0:11:12.600 I went to law school for one semester at UCLA, 0:11:12.800 --> 0:11:14.640 and it was not for me. Have you ever dabbled 0:11:14.640 --> 0:11:15.280 in law school? 0:11:15.559 --> 0:11:22.000 Yes? Did you I'm an idiot. Okay, No, I have 0:11:22.080 --> 0:11:24.840 never dabbled in law school. I didn't. I bare I 0:11:24.880 --> 0:11:28.160 got through college fine, but like that was it. 0:11:28.280 --> 0:11:30.720 I told my parents, well, you know, going to Center college. 0:11:30.800 --> 0:11:33.199 I actually dropped out and I was telling my parents, 0:11:33.240 --> 0:11:35.720 I don't need a degree. College is stupid. I don't 0:11:35.720 --> 0:11:38.560 want to do this. You're right, Finnally. When I got 0:11:38.559 --> 0:11:40.280 to LA, I fell in love with college and I 0:11:40.280 --> 0:11:42.800 wanted to become a professor, actually after the whole thing. 0:11:42.880 --> 0:11:44.520 But you'd be a cool professor. 0:11:44.600 --> 0:11:46.800 I really wanted to do it. But going into academ 0:11:46.920 --> 0:11:49.320 is not a clever idea in this day and age. 0:11:49.360 --> 0:11:53.440 It's very limited jobs, no money, just kind of a meager, 0:11:53.760 --> 0:11:54.880 miserable existence. 0:11:55.040 --> 0:11:57.600 Oh yeah, you're not doing a good job selling at all. 0:11:57.880 --> 0:11:59.240 Yeah. I don't recommend. 0:11:59.360 --> 0:12:01.640 I mean, well about now. If it was more like 0:12:01.679 --> 0:12:04.120 a part time hustle where you like just like taught 0:12:04.120 --> 0:12:06.840 one or two classes, cool college. 0:12:06.559 --> 0:12:08.200 That would be so fun. I would love that. 0:12:08.440 --> 0:12:13.680 Yeah, you majored in history. First, is that knowledge something 0:12:13.679 --> 0:12:16.640 that you use regularly? And second, do you consider the 0:12:16.640 --> 0:12:19.200 Marshall Plan to have been a major catalyst for the 0:12:19.200 --> 0:12:19.680 Cold War? 0:12:19.960 --> 0:12:22.840 I don't have a lot of feelings about the Marshall Plan. 0:12:22.920 --> 0:12:25.480 I did more of the Cold War Eastern European dissident 0:12:25.760 --> 0:12:28.880 intellectual history. It was more my focus. History is a 0:12:28.960 --> 0:12:32.120 huge part of what I do with Booze, which is 0:12:32.120 --> 0:12:33.680 something I never thought would be the case. I thought, 0:12:33.679 --> 0:12:36.360 if I didn't go into academ history is pretty meaningless 0:12:36.360 --> 0:12:39.280 for your life. But luckily, when you're writing about Booze 0:12:39.280 --> 0:12:42.760 and learning about Booze that it's an important skill set. 0:12:42.840 --> 0:12:45.920 When did cocktail culture first emerge? 0:12:46.200 --> 0:12:47.800 Hunch was a huge thing for a long time, and 0:12:47.840 --> 0:12:50.960 it wasn't until the nineteenth century where people started making 0:12:51.040 --> 0:12:54.320 it really individually as the go to and bars obviously 0:12:54.360 --> 0:12:56.320 took a bit of a hit during Prohibition, and then 0:12:56.360 --> 0:12:59.640 we have something called the cocktail dark ages from like 0:12:59.679 --> 0:13:04.120 the sixties, well, seventies, eighties, nineties, Like I think you 0:13:04.160 --> 0:13:08.319 know Tom Cruise the movie Cocktail Tgi Friday's Cocktail. 0:13:08.360 --> 0:13:09.480 Do you like the movie Cocktail? 0:13:09.800 --> 0:13:12.240 It's a fun movie. I'm not sure i'd consider him 0:13:12.280 --> 0:13:16.160 an aspirational bartender, I mean, good flare bartending. 0:13:16.360 --> 0:13:18.880 Do you know how to throw a bottle around and stuff? 0:13:19.040 --> 0:13:19.400 No? 0:13:19.400 --> 0:13:20.160 No, have you ever? 0:13:20.520 --> 0:13:24.600 Chris? Yes? But not successfully? I mean I'm I'm yeah, 0:13:24.679 --> 0:13:28.520 not my skill. Very cool to watch, but yeah. But 0:13:28.559 --> 0:13:31.720 so the cocktail Dark Ages, it's when people started using 0:13:31.760 --> 0:13:35.760 fake sweeteners and fake citrus and all these wacky mixers 0:13:35.840 --> 0:13:39.240 that you know, weren't very good, and the bad peach snops, 0:13:39.280 --> 0:13:43.320 the anatomically named shots became popular, all that sort of thing, 0:13:43.400 --> 0:13:46.720 and it wasn't done. Around the year two thousand we 0:13:46.760 --> 0:13:48.200 started coming out of the Dark Ages. 0:13:49.600 --> 0:13:51.160 Did you ever enjoy a jello shot? 0:13:51.280 --> 0:13:53.520 Oh? Yeah, yeah, there's some good jello shots. 0:13:53.559 --> 0:13:54.240 Oh, I don't. 0:13:54.800 --> 0:13:57.800 There's a place in Portland, Oregon. This is someone who 0:13:57.800 --> 0:14:01.480 doesn't drink. This is gonna since twenty twenty. 0:14:01.800 --> 0:14:04.640 Oh did you move there before or after the pandemic? 0:14:04.720 --> 0:14:07.640 I moved there. Do you remember how the Princess Cruise 0:14:07.679 --> 0:14:10.800 line was docking in San Francisco and that's where everyone 0:14:10.880 --> 0:14:13.520 was like, the plague is coming to America. 0:14:13.679 --> 0:14:14.160 I don't really. 0:14:14.160 --> 0:14:16.880 I was driving out of San Francisco to Portland as 0:14:16.960 --> 0:14:19.760 it was docking, so we were right, we just fled 0:14:19.800 --> 0:14:20.080 this citay. 0:14:20.200 --> 0:14:22.960 Was it because of the pandemic that you moved partly? 0:14:23.040 --> 0:14:25.720 But also San Francisco wasn't my favorite place to live. 0:14:25.800 --> 0:14:26.720 Do you love Portland? 0:14:26.800 --> 0:14:27.000 I do? 0:14:27.200 --> 0:14:29.880 We have a really good grocery store that I'm obsessed with. 0:14:29.960 --> 0:14:32.200 I go there every day. I feel like Bell from 0:14:32.200 --> 0:14:33.920 Beauty and the Beast, and I look at the beautiful 0:14:33.960 --> 0:14:37.360 produce and I get very every day. Pretty much. 0:14:37.440 --> 0:14:38.360 I respect it. 0:14:38.440 --> 0:14:39.800 I love grocery stores. 0:14:39.920 --> 0:14:41.000 I wish I loved it. 0:14:41.240 --> 0:14:43.600 Oh yeah, it's I love. 0:14:43.760 --> 0:14:49.000 I love getting fresh food every day, but just going there. 0:14:49.280 --> 0:14:52.040 Having one that's like that special one that you just 0:14:52.440 --> 0:14:54.600 know that you love and you can rely on, I 0:14:54.600 --> 0:14:57.040 don't know, and that they'll always be something fresh and different. 0:14:57.440 --> 0:14:59.480 My problem is I have two children that I have 0:14:59.560 --> 0:15:02.200 to love, and then they both are like making me 0:15:02.280 --> 0:15:05.880 get the stupid cart that's like shaped like a police car, 0:15:06.600 --> 0:15:08.880 and then they're like climbing in and out of it. 0:15:09.000 --> 0:15:12.160 Now I've got to do physical restraint up against the car. 0:15:12.480 --> 0:15:15.360 It's just awful, the whole thing. Can you hold your. 0:15:15.200 --> 0:15:19.400 Liquor pretty well? Pretty well? I'm sometimes surprised. I'll be 0:15:19.480 --> 0:15:21.480 out with friends and I'm like, why are they acting 0:15:21.560 --> 0:15:22.000 so funny? 0:15:22.000 --> 0:15:24.040 And then I go, oh, you're not a lightweight. 0:15:24.360 --> 0:15:28.760 No, no, I'm not not no expensive. 0:15:29.000 --> 0:15:30.960 Can you just go to a party and be like 0:15:31.000 --> 0:15:32.920 a guest or? Is there pressure for you to grab 0:15:33.000 --> 0:15:34.040 a shaker every time. 0:15:34.200 --> 0:15:36.960 I love making cocktails at parties. I mean, I'm a 0:15:36.960 --> 0:15:39.200 bit of an introvert, so having like an activity to 0:15:39.240 --> 0:15:41.200 do a little way to escape into the kitchen for 0:15:41.200 --> 0:15:43.600 a while is great for me. But yeah, I also 0:15:43.640 --> 0:15:46.000 just love making drinks. I enjoy the process, So I 0:15:46.040 --> 0:15:48.000 hope I'm supposed to make drinks when I go someplace. 0:15:48.280 --> 0:15:49.760 Have you ever worked as a bartender? 0:15:49.920 --> 0:15:52.520 No? No, I haven't. The closest I got was I 0:15:52.560 --> 0:15:55.640 was a barista at Starbucks for about three weeks, which 0:15:56.200 --> 0:15:58.520 was awful. I mean not because of the job, because 0:15:58.560 --> 0:16:01.080 of me. I was terrible at it. I'm not a 0:16:01.120 --> 0:16:03.400 morning person, having to wake up at three am when 0:16:03.440 --> 0:16:04.960 I've just gone to bed at two am. 0:16:05.320 --> 0:16:06.680 Yeah, an hour is not enough. 0:16:06.960 --> 0:16:07.400 Yeah yeah. 0:16:07.520 --> 0:16:10.880 All the experts will say that do you drink coffee? 0:16:11.040 --> 0:16:12.040 Are you a big coffee person? 0:16:12.080 --> 0:16:14.680 Are you a bad coffee person?

One of our favorite 0:17:26.680 --> 0:17:30.520 series is Weirdly Dirty Martinis, and this is something where 0:17:30.520 --> 0:17:32.480 we don't taste it before we should make the video. 0:17:32.840 --> 0:17:35.159 I just make this thing and then my husband and 0:17:35.240 --> 0:17:38.040 I will give our review after we make it.
