We had Kelsey 8 00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:37,599 Speaker 1: Ballerini as a special guest and she played two songs 9 00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:39,760 Speaker 1: and did a really really cool Q and A with 10 00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:43,080 Speaker 1: Nicole Galleon, who's an incredible songwriter in Nashville, and it 11 00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:46,479 Speaker 1: was so inspiring. And UM, I was very proud of 12 00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:50,680 Speaker 1: myself because while Kelsey was doing her interview, I texted 13 00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:52,200 Speaker 1: her and I was like, we need to talk about 14 00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:55,080 Speaker 1: this later, but I think you're in a neogram not right. 15 00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:57,560 Speaker 1: Tell me I'm right. And she got off stage and 16 00:00:57,680 --> 00:00:59,600 Speaker 1: was like, how did you know? And I'm like, I 17 00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:02,760 Speaker 1: just no. So there's no better feeling than correctly guessing 18 00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:06,240 Speaker 1: someone's Insograham type. And UM, it was so good to 19 00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:08,480 Speaker 1: see her, so good to catch up. The night was 20 00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:11,720 Speaker 1: so fun. We covered a B C D E f 21 00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:14,040 Speaker 1: U by Gayl who's another song Suffragets. So it was 22 00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:16,399 Speaker 1: just like a very great night celebrating the success of 23 00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:18,839 Speaker 1: all these women who have gone and played on that stage. 24 00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:24,039 Speaker 1: So I've been traveling again and it feels really good. 25 00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:26,880 Speaker 1: Definitely still have to wear masks on planes and all 26 00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:31,680 Speaker 1: of that, obviously, um, but things are feeling pretty normal 27 00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:33,480 Speaker 1: when I travel. So it's it's really nice to go 28 00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:36,160 Speaker 1: see places and like, I just got to take my 29 00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:39,840 Speaker 1: boyfriend stand back to my hometown, um, and we went 30 00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:42,640 Speaker 1: to a couple of places that we'd gone only like 31 00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:48,120 Speaker 1: during the summer and they were only like partially open 32 00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:50,120 Speaker 1: or like it was only outside you couldn't go in, 33 00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:52,320 Speaker 1: and like there was only two good to go orders 34 00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:55,200 Speaker 1: or whatever. So we got to actually do some Portland's things. 35 00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:57,640 Speaker 1: So it felt good to be back and like just 36 00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:00,960 Speaker 1: feel a little bit of normalcy. So because of that, 37 00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:03,560 Speaker 1: I wanted to do an episode all my favorite cities. 38 00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,000 Speaker 1: And I have a lot of favorite cities, but I 39 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,920 Speaker 1: picked the main ones that I've been to, like, you know, 40 00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:12,720 Speaker 1: five or six times, and um, yeah, they all have 41 00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:16,240 Speaker 1: something special to me. And I'm doing this in no 42 00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:19,600 Speaker 1: particular order because I could not could not pick if 43 00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:25,880 Speaker 1: I tried. Um, So starting first Washington d C. I 44 00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,120 Speaker 1: love Washington d C. I started going there when I 45 00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:32,280 Speaker 1: was probably like ten or eleven. My sister lived there. 46 00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:36,600 Speaker 1: She still lives there outside of UM d C in Virginia, 47 00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:38,720 Speaker 1: so we get to do d C stuff whenever I'm 48 00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:42,560 Speaker 1: visiting her, and it's just such a cool city. I 49 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:46,639 Speaker 1: love the museums. The Smithsonian is the absolute ship. It's free. 50 00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:50,880 Speaker 1: I love the Natural History Museum, but it was closed 51 00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:52,600 Speaker 1: when I was there last time, so I went to 52 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:56,560 Speaker 1: the American History Museum and it's just like, oh, I 53 00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,760 Speaker 1: love it. My favorite thing about museums like that is 54 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:04,560 Speaker 1: the little um Like they have this house in the 55 00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:09,000 Speaker 1: American History Museum and it's an actual house that was 56 00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,680 Speaker 1: built in like the seventeen hundreds that they like picked 57 00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,040 Speaker 1: up and put in there, and then they have that 58 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:18,320 Speaker 1: at the met in New York. They have the they 59 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:22,880 Speaker 1: have an actual temple from Egypt that they put in 60 00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:25,200 Speaker 1: the museum. So that's like my favorite museum thing is 61 00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:27,480 Speaker 1: when there's just like a random building inside the building 62 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:29,480 Speaker 1: and it kind of makes you feel like you're outside. 63 00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,760 Speaker 1: It's just very cool. So I love the museums in 64 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:36,360 Speaker 1: d C. I love shopping in Georgetown. I mean, it's 65 00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:39,800 Speaker 1: one of my favorite little streets to walk down. And 66 00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:43,080 Speaker 1: it's just there's so much shopping. There's so much shopping. 67 00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:45,040 Speaker 1: And growing up in Maine, like we have like one mall, 68 00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:47,200 Speaker 1: like one and a half malls in the States, So 69 00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:48,600 Speaker 1: when I would go visit my sister in d C, 70 00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:50,560 Speaker 1: I'd be like losing my mind because I'm like, oh 71 00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:52,920 Speaker 1: my god, is that h and M. She's like, yeah, 72 00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:56,280 Speaker 1: like we don't have one of those. So there's this 73 00:03:56,320 --> 00:04:00,120 Speaker 1: great place that Um moving on to bars, there is 74 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:02,640 Speaker 1: a great place in DC called the Old Round Robin Bar, 75 00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:07,480 Speaker 1: and there's so much history to this. It's um that's 76 00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:10,040 Speaker 1: there's so much political history to d C, which is 77 00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:11,760 Speaker 1: really cool because you can just feel all these ghosts 78 00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:15,360 Speaker 1: of all these former presidents. But um, the Round Robin 79 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:19,920 Speaker 1: Bar is in a hotel, like an old old school hotel, 80 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:24,039 Speaker 1: and it's so beautiful. It's a it's a round bar 81 00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:28,360 Speaker 1: and it's mahogany and just like feels like such a throwback. 82 00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:30,719 Speaker 1: Like you go in and you're like like just feel 83 00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:35,440 Speaker 1: so poetic. And Walt Whitman wrote about it in a letter. 84 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:39,080 Speaker 1: And there's all these different um things that have happened there. 85 00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:43,640 Speaker 1: But there was a Kentucky senator named Henry Clay back 86 00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:46,680 Speaker 1: in the day who introduced Washington to the Mint Jewelup, 87 00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:51,080 Speaker 1: which is a very famous like Derby Kentucky cocktail. It's 88 00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:54,000 Speaker 1: it's mint as one can imagine, um. But it ended 89 00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:56,520 Speaker 1: up becoming the Round Robin signature cocktail just because the 90 00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:58,400 Speaker 1: senator like was like, hey, can you make me the 91 00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:00,240 Speaker 1: strength that's how you make it, and then everybody start 92 00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:02,520 Speaker 1: ordering it. So to this day they still make like 93 00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:07,480 Speaker 1: a really great mint minteluk um. And then in eighteen 94 00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:11,640 Speaker 1: sixty two, Walt Whitman immortalized it and his poetic appeal 95 00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:13,880 Speaker 1: to the reunion troops. I'm reading this if you can't 96 00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:17,240 Speaker 1: tell um, He said, there you are, soldier straps, But 97 00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:20,039 Speaker 1: where are your companies? Where are men speak? Blow put 98 00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:23,520 Speaker 1: on airs and Willard sumptuous bar or anywhere no explanation 99 00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:27,200 Speaker 1: will save you. And and the last line is ironic 100 00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:29,359 Speaker 1: because I really need an explanation. I'm not sure what 101 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:33,480 Speaker 1: that means. But the Ron Robin is in the Willard Hotel. 102 00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:37,320 Speaker 1: So and then this one's hilarious in nineteen o four, 103 00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:40,599 Speaker 1: as the hatchet toting pro a visionist Carrie Nation raged 104 00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:43,200 Speaker 1: against drink. A sign in the Round Robin bar went 105 00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:49,520 Speaker 1: up and said all Nations welcome except Carrie. And then um, 106 00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:52,600 Speaker 1: upon hearing from a waiter that the Willard Hotel was closing, 107 00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:55,160 Speaker 1: the board of governors of the National Press Club, raced 108 00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:57,760 Speaker 1: across the street to their favorite bar, the Round Robin, 109 00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:02,080 Speaker 1: and drank into the hotel. Doors closed, and then it 110 00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:05,680 Speaker 1: got reopened. But um, yeah, it's very very cool and 111 00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:09,040 Speaker 1: just a really beautiful bar. They made a really great 112 00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:11,520 Speaker 1: dirty martini. Whenever I go to like an old school 113 00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:14,159 Speaker 1: bar like that, I need a martini because you know, 114 00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:16,720 Speaker 1: I just trust him implicitly. I'm like, you look like 115 00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:21,200 Speaker 1: you know what you're doing. But my favorite favorite bar 116 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:24,240 Speaker 1: in DC that is just so fucking cool. It's called 117 00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:29,560 Speaker 1: Martin's Tavern, and it's a Georgetown staple. It's on the 118 00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:32,240 Speaker 1: corner I went in one time in January. I really 119 00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:36,240 Speaker 1: I distinctly remember this day. But um, it's also got 120 00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:38,839 Speaker 1: like these mahogany vibes. But it feels a lot more homey. 121 00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:41,320 Speaker 1: I wouldn't necessarily call it a dive bar at all, 122 00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:44,919 Speaker 1: but it definitely feels local. There's nothing about it that 123 00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:49,280 Speaker 1: feels contrived or corporate or overly manufactured. It's just cozy. 124 00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:52,520 Speaker 1: But the coolest part of it is that's actually where 125 00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:57,080 Speaker 1: um JFK proposed to JACKIEO. So booth number three is 126 00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:59,240 Speaker 1: called the proposal booth, and like other people have done 127 00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:01,640 Speaker 1: their proposals there too, but it's it's where he asked 128 00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:06,080 Speaker 1: her to marry him, which is very very cool. Um. 129 00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:09,520 Speaker 1: So it's been in Georgetown for almost a hundred years, 130 00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:12,960 Speaker 1: for four generations. The Martin family has served every president 131 00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:15,800 Speaker 1: from Harry S. Truman to George W. Bush, many of 132 00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:18,960 Speaker 1: Washington's most prominent movers and shakers, and scores of Hollywood stars, 133 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:22,120 Speaker 1: Hall of famers, and Broadway legends. They survived the Great Depression, 134 00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:25,600 Speaker 1: World War Two, the Korean War, Camelot in, the Great Society, 135 00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:27,680 Speaker 1: Vietnam and Watergate, the Cold War, at the Gulf for 136 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:30,800 Speaker 1: the Great Recession, and they're still going strong today. So 137 00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:33,920 Speaker 1: clearly this hasn't been updated since COVID because um, yeah, 138 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:37,040 Speaker 1: it's it's survived. But so I went there. My sister 139 00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:40,360 Speaker 1: got married in a sten and it was the weekend 140 00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:42,600 Speaker 1: that my first ever single flight like a girl came 141 00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:47,520 Speaker 1: out and I was walking in Georgetown and saw this 142 00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:48,920 Speaker 1: little bar and I was like, I have to go in. 143 00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:50,520 Speaker 1: It was like has my name written all over it. 144 00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:53,040 Speaker 1: And we went in. I'm talking to the bartender making 145 00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:55,480 Speaker 1: friends fight like a girl had literally come out that day, 146 00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:59,040 Speaker 1: and I was telling the bartender that because they're like, oh, 147 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:01,240 Speaker 1: what do you do? Whatever? And then they played it 148 00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:03,320 Speaker 1: in the bar and a bunch of people bought it 149 00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:05,080 Speaker 1: on iTunes, and like it was just all these like 150 00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:08,000 Speaker 1: old people who lived in Washington and just we're super 151 00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:11,080 Speaker 1: cool and so nice, and like that was the first 152 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:12,840 Speaker 1: memory I have a fight like a girl. It was 153 00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:15,600 Speaker 1: very special and I love that. I love d C 154 00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:18,120 Speaker 1: and I love that my sister still lives there and 155 00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:19,880 Speaker 1: I get to go back all the time. So we're 156 00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:21,360 Speaker 1: gonna take a quick break and then we'll come back 157 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:35,600 Speaker 1: with small that things. So I'm pretty sure I like 158 00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:38,280 Speaker 1: died in Seattle in my last life or something. It 159 00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:40,840 Speaker 1: has such just like crazy energy to me, and it 160 00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:45,120 Speaker 1: feels so special. Obviously, I love the Seattle grunch scene. 161 00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:49,240 Speaker 1: Like Pearl Jam and Nirvana were two of the most 162 00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:51,520 Speaker 1: important bands to me growing up. They still are. I 163 00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:55,839 Speaker 1: have a Nirvana tattoo, and um, I just I loved 164 00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:58,520 Speaker 1: that music I would do anything to go back and 165 00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:03,040 Speaker 1: experience like a whole old concert. Um. I wonder if 166 00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:04,760 Speaker 1: Courtney Love will ever do a reunion with the whole 167 00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:07,880 Speaker 1: that'd be very cool. But um, yeah, I just I 168 00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:10,560 Speaker 1: love love Seattle. And the first time I really went, 169 00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:14,360 Speaker 1: I was by myself. So I have a friend named 170 00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:16,839 Speaker 1: Andy Case who I write with, and she has a 171 00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:20,280 Speaker 1: place that's a little north of Seattle, and I flew 172 00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:23,160 Speaker 1: in to write with her for her project at her 173 00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:25,080 Speaker 1: house there, and then I had a little bit of 174 00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:26,800 Speaker 1: time before I had to be a show be to 175 00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:30,880 Speaker 1: a show in Arizona, and so I took them like 176 00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:32,640 Speaker 1: the day or two in between, and I was like, 177 00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:35,400 Speaker 1: you know what I have to go through here. Anyways, 178 00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:37,000 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna go to Seattle for a couple of 179 00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:39,000 Speaker 1: days by myself and just like see what happens. And 180 00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:42,000 Speaker 1: if you do that. I love traveling alone, whether a 181 00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:44,760 Speaker 1: guy or girl or anything in between. Highly recommend a 182 00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:48,319 Speaker 1: taser and um some pepper spray because traveling alone definitely 183 00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:51,280 Speaker 1: gets a little spooky. But um, there's some great great 184 00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:55,319 Speaker 1: places there. I'm obviously like, I'm a big fantasy food 185 00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:57,640 Speaker 1: coming from Maine, but I'm obviously a seafood snob because 186 00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:01,160 Speaker 1: of that, and Seattle has really really great oysters. I 187 00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:03,720 Speaker 1: love Pacific Northwest oysters, and my favorite place I've had 188 00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:07,360 Speaker 1: them in Seattle is Elliott's Oyster House, so freaking good. 189 00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:09,280 Speaker 1: I went with my whole band to celebrate when I 190 00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:11,520 Speaker 1: was on the All Time Low Tour and we had 191 00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:14,840 Speaker 1: like three days off and it all happened to like 192 00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:17,800 Speaker 1: line up with us being in Seattle, which was pretty cool. 193 00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:22,120 Speaker 1: So I love love um Elliott's Oyster House. We had 194 00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:23,720 Speaker 1: so much fun there. We were like, let's just like 195 00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:26,760 Speaker 1: eat McDonald's for the next week so that we can 196 00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:29,839 Speaker 1: afford to go to this super bougie restaurant tonight. UM. 197 00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:34,640 Speaker 1: My other favorite restaurant there is to lou Petite, and 198 00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:39,840 Speaker 1: it's like this creole French restaurant. And my bass player, 199 00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:42,360 Speaker 1: UM is from France. He actually moved here from there 200 00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:45,000 Speaker 1: eight He was born in Nashville, lived in France till 201 00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:48,720 Speaker 1: his late twenties or early twenties, mid twenties, and um 202 00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:50,880 Speaker 1: he's been in the US for eight years. But he 203 00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:55,199 Speaker 1: definitely misses French food, and it's hard to find good 204 00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:58,160 Speaker 1: French food that's not just like trying to be douchey, 205 00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:01,520 Speaker 1: like it's very authentic. Um. And so we went there 206 00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:03,600 Speaker 1: and we all lost our minds, like the food was 207 00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:06,959 Speaker 1: so good, like we were like emotional, that's how good 208 00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:09,040 Speaker 1: it was. And I'm like, I hate the word foodie, 209 00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:11,520 Speaker 1: but I really am a foodie. I love fucking food 210 00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:14,840 Speaker 1: so much. I mean, I fucking love food. Oh my god, 211 00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:22,920 Speaker 1: misplaze modifier there. Um anyhow, so I love that restaurant. 212 00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:25,680 Speaker 1: It has so many like great brunch cocktails. It's just 213 00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:28,400 Speaker 1: such a vibe. It's been open forever. They have like 214 00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:31,760 Speaker 1: these giant ornate curtains and you're just in there and 215 00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:34,040 Speaker 1: you feel like, I don't know, there's just restaurants that 216 00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:36,920 Speaker 1: are just so restaurant e. I know that's not going 217 00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:40,760 Speaker 1: to make any sense, but it just it's like feels 218 00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:44,000 Speaker 1: like a restaurant. And if you know what I mean, 219 00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:46,240 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. If you don't, I understand 220 00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:48,000 Speaker 1: I sound crazy, But it's just like there's so many 221 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,000 Speaker 1: places that feel like, you know, they're trying to be 222 00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:51,520 Speaker 1: really hip and they have like a theme and all 223 00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:53,120 Speaker 1: of this stuff, and then there's restaurants that are just 224 00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:57,360 Speaker 1: restaurant themed. And Talupatite is one of those. One of 225 00:11:57,360 --> 00:11:59,800 Speaker 1: my favorite shops there is called the New York Exchange. 226 00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:03,440 Speaker 1: Have a bunch of like goth clothes and like the 227 00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:05,760 Speaker 1: most amazing platform shoes. I get a lot of my 228 00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:08,920 Speaker 1: clothes there. Um, I stuck up when I go through Seattle. 229 00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:12,480 Speaker 1: And they also um sell things online as well. But 230 00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:15,560 Speaker 1: I love that place. I've gotten so many cool pieces 231 00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:17,920 Speaker 1: there that I've worn, um at shows and all that. 232 00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:21,800 Speaker 1: But that's one of my favorite stores. And then my 233 00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:25,600 Speaker 1: favorite bar in Seattle is called Montana Bar, and it 234 00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:29,800 Speaker 1: is like it's so perfect. It's over near the college 235 00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:34,480 Speaker 1: and um, it's definitely divy. They have cocktails on tap, 236 00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:36,440 Speaker 1: which is really funny, so you can just like, you know, 237 00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:39,880 Speaker 1: the a spout of jack and coke or whatever is 238 00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:42,400 Speaker 1: in there. Um. But they have like writing all over 239 00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:44,160 Speaker 1: the walls, all over the tables. I mean, you could 240 00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:46,679 Speaker 1: just like go crazy with the sharpie if you wanted to. 241 00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:50,000 Speaker 1: And it's just it's got red lights. It kind of 242 00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:51,600 Speaker 1: ruins you. A red door in Nashville, which is one 243 00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:53,960 Speaker 1: of my favorite bars here. But it's just such a 244 00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:55,920 Speaker 1: good vibe. And I went there by myself and I 245 00:12:55,960 --> 00:13:01,080 Speaker 1: remember just journaling, and um, this particular night, like I 246 00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:04,040 Speaker 1: started at Smith Tower on the rooftop, which is so beautiful, 247 00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:06,199 Speaker 1: but there's all these really cool historic things you can 248 00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:10,640 Speaker 1: see that are like Industrial Revolution age, um, when you 249 00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:12,000 Speaker 1: go up to the tower. But I had like a 250 00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:15,120 Speaker 1: cheese plate by myself. I looked out on the you know, 251 00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:17,760 Speaker 1: over the water and the ferris wheel and all this stuff, 252 00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:21,479 Speaker 1: and then you can see the space needle and um. 253 00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:23,560 Speaker 1: So I went there and had like a bootie cocktail 254 00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:26,440 Speaker 1: and read a book. And then I went to Montana 255 00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:30,000 Speaker 1: Bar in Journal by myself and just it's I feel 256 00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:33,080 Speaker 1: so mysterious when I do it, you know, Like I 257 00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:35,280 Speaker 1: love going to restaurants by myself because I'm like I 258 00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:37,640 Speaker 1: probably seem so much more interesting than I am right now, 259 00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:41,160 Speaker 1: just like sitting here like reading a novel, Like in 260 00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:44,000 Speaker 1: those situations, it's no longer a book, it isn't. You're 261 00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:47,480 Speaker 1: reading a novel alone in a bar at night. Mysteriously. 262 00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:52,240 Speaker 1: It's like the perfect kind of suspicious, you know. Um. 263 00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:55,640 Speaker 1: And then one of my favorite stories of something that 264 00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:57,880 Speaker 1: happened in Seattle where I was with my band. I'm 265 00:13:57,920 --> 00:13:59,760 Speaker 1: not going to say the name of the bar because 266 00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:04,480 Speaker 1: it really should not have happened, but there's this whiskey 267 00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:08,760 Speaker 1: UM called Tornado Survivor and it is a super super 268 00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:13,960 Speaker 1: rare whiskey. Um. It's basically there was as you can imagine, 269 00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:16,959 Speaker 1: there was a tornado. It's um e h Taylor and 270 00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:26,160 Speaker 1: the warehouse got ruined by um by tornado duh kaylee um. 271 00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:29,680 Speaker 1: But there it's so rare and hard to find because 272 00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:31,640 Speaker 1: there were only so many bottles that they were able 273 00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:36,720 Speaker 1: to save from these barrels, and so they have these barrels, 274 00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:39,240 Speaker 1: but they were weathered because of the tornado and so 275 00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:42,280 Speaker 1: apparently and did something different to the whiskey. And this 276 00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:48,200 Speaker 1: whiskey is twelve between twelve and fifteen thou dollars of bottle, 277 00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:54,000 Speaker 1: which is insane to think about. There's one that's yeah, 278 00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:58,320 Speaker 1: there's one that's like up to but it's just crazy. Um. 279 00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:00,160 Speaker 1: But so they had it behind the bar and my 280 00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:02,920 Speaker 1: boyfriend Sam is like a huge whiskey person. He loves 281 00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:05,760 Speaker 1: bourbon whiskey, all of that. He's from Kentucky and he 282 00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:07,680 Speaker 1: immediately knew that this was like a really big deal 283 00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:10,600 Speaker 1: whiskey to have. But people probably don't order it that 284 00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:13,080 Speaker 1: often because I think like a single pore, like a 285 00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:15,400 Speaker 1: one ounce or two ounce pore would be like three dollars, 286 00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:17,920 Speaker 1: and so just for fun, Sam was like, oh, like, 287 00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:20,400 Speaker 1: how much are your your pores of that? E H. Taylor? 288 00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:24,560 Speaker 1: And the guy clearly at this bar was new and 289 00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:26,280 Speaker 1: he was like, oh, um, let me check. And so 290 00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:28,480 Speaker 1: he goes in the system and he just checks regular 291 00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:31,680 Speaker 1: e H. Taylor and does not select like a special 292 00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:34,240 Speaker 1: one because honestly, maybe it wasn't even in the system, 293 00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:38,680 Speaker 1: and he just like pours to for Sam and um, 294 00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:40,560 Speaker 1: it was like thirty dollars. Like he charged them like 295 00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:45,120 Speaker 1: fifteen dollars each instead of three each. So he got 296 00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:47,600 Speaker 1: six hundred dollars worth of whiskey for thirty bucks. He 297 00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:49,240 Speaker 1: comes to the table, he's whispering to me in the 298 00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:51,960 Speaker 1: band and he's like, guys, we gotta drink these really 299 00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:53,640 Speaker 1: fast to get out of here. Something that just happened. 300 00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:55,560 Speaker 1: And we're like, what the fund just happened? And he 301 00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:58,000 Speaker 1: was like feeling so guilty. He's like, they're gonna they're 302 00:15:58,000 --> 00:15:59,880 Speaker 1: gonna kick his out, We're gonna get in trouble. I'm like, 303 00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:02,920 Speaker 1: if it's not your fault that they charged you wrong. 304 00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:06,240 Speaker 1: But so we're like kind of all seeming shady because 305 00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:08,440 Speaker 1: we're looking over at the bar and we're like, oh no, 306 00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:12,960 Speaker 1: they're gonna notice, um. And then we just see the 307 00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:16,520 Speaker 1: like bar manager go over to that bartender and like 308 00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:19,240 Speaker 1: talk to him, and then we just see them grab 309 00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:21,880 Speaker 1: the bottle down from the top shelf and just like 310 00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:26,040 Speaker 1: bring it up back. They're like we're not even which 311 00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:27,800 Speaker 1: was really funny, but it was really good. I would 312 00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:29,920 Speaker 1: have never paid three for it, but it was a 313 00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:35,200 Speaker 1: really good glass of whiskey. And I just freaking love Seattle. 314 00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:38,200 Speaker 1: I love the bookstores there. You just walk and there's 315 00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:40,680 Speaker 1: so I mean, the coffee is amazing. But those are 316 00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:54,720 Speaker 1: my favorite places in Seattle. We'll going back, Okay, I'm 317 00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:57,640 Speaker 1: gonna try to get through these last three cities pretty quickly, 318 00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:01,400 Speaker 1: but I love New Orleans. New Orleans is absolutely on 319 00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:03,800 Speaker 1: my list. Um. I know this is touristy. It's in 320 00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:07,160 Speaker 1: the French Quarter, but I love Marie lavos witchy store. 321 00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:10,800 Speaker 1: There's a lot of different like witch stops, and there's like, um, 322 00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:13,239 Speaker 1: they're definitely like have some touristy vibes. But the thing 323 00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:16,800 Speaker 1: about Marie Lavos is actually is in her childhood home, 324 00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:19,960 Speaker 1: Marie la Vo was like the voody queen of New Orleans. 325 00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:24,040 Speaker 1: She was a freed black woman who just did practice 326 00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:27,520 Speaker 1: voodoo and was just really really badass, just a huge badass. 327 00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:29,280 Speaker 1: And they have the Marie La Vo Museum, which is 328 00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:33,639 Speaker 1: really cool too. Um. I love this restaurant called Copper Vine. 329 00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:38,480 Speaker 1: It's so good. They make this really great like Basil 330 00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:43,760 Speaker 1: Martini situation, and just the foods there is great. It's 331 00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:45,560 Speaker 1: it's cool. It's got like a good vibe in there. 332 00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:48,879 Speaker 1: There's lots of greenery and plants. Um, but the inside 333 00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:53,080 Speaker 1: isn't like it's just a nice space. But the food 334 00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:56,920 Speaker 1: is so freaking good. And then, um, my favorite bar 335 00:17:56,960 --> 00:18:01,280 Speaker 1: in New Orleans is Lafitte's Blacksmith Bar, which is ancient. 336 00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:04,000 Speaker 1: I mean it is like literally an ancient bar. It's 337 00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:05,680 Speaker 1: so old. I think it's got to be like from 338 00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:08,920 Speaker 1: the seventeen hundreds or something. But I am such a 339 00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:13,520 Speaker 1: sucker for like old bars, and um, this one it 340 00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:17,480 Speaker 1: just has so much character and history and they have 341 00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:22,240 Speaker 1: some really really crazy cocktails. Um okay, just double checked. 342 00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:31,480 Speaker 1: And uh the place was built in eighteen fourteen, yeah, 343 00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:35,040 Speaker 1: which is pretty crazy. So um, and it just like 344 00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:37,760 Speaker 1: it looks like a black shop. Oh never mind, I 345 00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:39,800 Speaker 1: just just kidding. I totally read that wrong. It was 346 00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:44,400 Speaker 1: built between sev seventeen thirty two. But there are when 347 00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:48,320 Speaker 1: um Mr Lafitte took it over. But it's just got 348 00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:50,720 Speaker 1: a good vibe and you can get it like mud slides, 349 00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:53,400 Speaker 1: and just like just them, they will suck you up. 350 00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:55,479 Speaker 1: New Orleans knows how to suck you up. And I 351 00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:58,240 Speaker 1: did not realize exactly how much alcohol was in a 352 00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:01,720 Speaker 1: handgar name be has. You know, it comes in this long, 353 00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:03,480 Speaker 1: skinny thing, and so it doesn't seem like it's that 354 00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:06,080 Speaker 1: much because it's so skinny, and then you're like it 355 00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:10,320 Speaker 1: tastes like I don't know what the sorcery is between 356 00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:15,560 Speaker 1: between like hand grenades and Long Island iced teas. But 357 00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:17,840 Speaker 1: it's like you put every alcohol together and all of 358 00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:19,480 Speaker 1: a sudden it cancels out all the alcohol and you 359 00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:22,560 Speaker 1: can't taste it. And there's no like official recipe for 360 00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:25,760 Speaker 1: a hand grenade. Only a couple of places in um 361 00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:31,520 Speaker 1: New Orleans are allowed to sell them, and they're crazy. 362 00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:33,959 Speaker 1: I think that the one thing like it's literally like 363 00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:38,240 Speaker 1: it has like ever clear like striped grain alcohol in it. 364 00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:41,560 Speaker 1: It has rum, it has vodka, it has gin um, 365 00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:44,280 Speaker 1: and then there's madori, which is like a melon liqueur, 366 00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:47,439 Speaker 1: and I think that's the only thing in it that 367 00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:50,760 Speaker 1: flavors it. But again they won't tell you the recipe, 368 00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:56,000 Speaker 1: but it tastes so sweet, not like overly sugary, but 369 00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:57,920 Speaker 1: it's like it's so good, and it's like they all 370 00:19:57,960 --> 00:19:59,800 Speaker 1: come together to like gaslight you and make you think 371 00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:01,879 Speaker 1: you're gonna get drunk, but then you like have it 372 00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:04,760 Speaker 1: and you realize that you just drank one drink that's 373 00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:07,600 Speaker 1: the equivalent of five, and so it is like an 374 00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:10,119 Speaker 1: immediate Like it's an immediate I know I'm going to 375 00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:12,600 Speaker 1: be hungover. I already had a hand grenade. So I 376 00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:15,040 Speaker 1: love the those in New Orleans. And one of my 377 00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:17,040 Speaker 1: favorite memories of New Orleans is I was with Sam, 378 00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:22,680 Speaker 1: my boyfriend, and we there was his family had asked 379 00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:24,399 Speaker 1: us to meet them there. They were there for someone's 380 00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:27,560 Speaker 1: birthday and we were just coming to hang out. But 381 00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:30,800 Speaker 1: they had a big dinner reservation for this birthday, but 382 00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:32,919 Speaker 1: we they weren't gonna be able to squeeze me and 383 00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:34,800 Speaker 1: salmon because we were like last minute. So him and 384 00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:37,040 Speaker 1: I went off and did our own thing and we 385 00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:38,960 Speaker 1: went to dinner. We went to some bars, we had fun. 386 00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:41,879 Speaker 1: We're all dressed up, like I'm wearing like a blazer 387 00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:46,040 Speaker 1: and these cute dress pants. Sam's in a suit, and 388 00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:49,520 Speaker 1: we were walking back and I think we went to 389 00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:52,080 Speaker 1: a strip club that was like it was during COVID 390 00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:55,600 Speaker 1: and so like it was just we It was like 391 00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:58,280 Speaker 1: strip clubs are already kind of a weird vibe, like 392 00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:03,480 Speaker 1: depending on where you are, but the COVID aspect of 393 00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:06,520 Speaker 1: it was also really weird because he couldn't interact on 394 00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:12,040 Speaker 1: them at all. But so we like we did that. 395 00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:14,080 Speaker 1: We're walking back to the hotel, were like tipsy. It 396 00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:15,800 Speaker 1: was really funny. We made some friends on the way 397 00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:19,240 Speaker 1: back and then Sam sees this like gate that's slightly 398 00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:21,240 Speaker 1: ajar and then this pool and it looked like it 399 00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:22,600 Speaker 1: was a hotel, Like it was like one of those 400 00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:25,520 Speaker 1: really cool courtyards that they have in the middle of 401 00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:29,240 Speaker 1: of buildings in New Orleans. And we just like walked 402 00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:32,439 Speaker 1: into the pool, like did not jump in. We just 403 00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:35,760 Speaker 1: walked in like fully clothed, and this woman start dealing 404 00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:37,879 Speaker 1: off for balcony, just like you know that this is 405 00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:42,800 Speaker 1: a private residence, right, And I was like, well, I mean, 406 00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:46,600 Speaker 1: why are there's so many of them? If it's a 407 00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:48,679 Speaker 1: private residence. And I was just like mouthing off, being 408 00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:52,159 Speaker 1: an asshole, and she's like, well, more than one person 409 00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:54,240 Speaker 1: lives here, and I'm like, well, maybe I live here, 410 00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:57,480 Speaker 1: and then we just ran off laughing. But um, we're 411 00:21:57,520 --> 00:21:59,600 Speaker 1: literally walking down the street in New Orleans in the 412 00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:02,960 Speaker 1: French court or just drenched in our like suits, like 413 00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:06,000 Speaker 1: our nice outputs, and it was it was a very 414 00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:07,600 Speaker 1: fun and we got a picture of it too. So 415 00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:10,879 Speaker 1: that's one of my favorite pictures of me and Sam. Okay, 416 00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:15,000 Speaker 1: So I would be um remiss to not give a 417 00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:17,639 Speaker 1: shout out to Portland's my hometown, and I could do 418 00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:20,239 Speaker 1: an entire episode on Portland' I'm gonna try to keep 419 00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:23,080 Speaker 1: us one super short. But my favorite restaurant there I 420 00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:25,320 Speaker 1: went for the first time a couple of weeks ago. 421 00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:30,160 Speaker 1: It's called Scales and it's amazing. I had such good 422 00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:32,879 Speaker 1: seafood there. The oysters are awesome. The vibe it like 423 00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:34,800 Speaker 1: feels like you're in like an old fish shack, but 424 00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:38,800 Speaker 1: it's like bougie. Um, I love it. I love it. 425 00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:40,800 Speaker 1: And they had like a great wine menu and like 426 00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:43,680 Speaker 1: the food was so great. But my favorite, like Dive 427 00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:47,320 Speaker 1: Bar in Portland is called Rosie's and it's over on 428 00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:50,639 Speaker 1: these like cobble stone streets that um they call them 429 00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:53,000 Speaker 1: wobblestones because like the drunk girls and their high heels 430 00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:55,840 Speaker 1: that can't walk on them straight. But Rosie's is great. 431 00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:58,359 Speaker 1: They normally have popcorn, but I think there's still like 432 00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:01,159 Speaker 1: kind of easing into that from COVID because it's just 433 00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:03,040 Speaker 1: you go and you stick your hand on this popcorn 434 00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:04,960 Speaker 1: and just eat it. But they always have like a 435 00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:08,600 Speaker 1: one dollar um beer special and like a two dollar 436 00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:11,800 Speaker 1: shot special, so it's like it's about as dangerous as 437 00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:14,880 Speaker 1: a hand garnade. UM. And then there's another bar called 438 00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:18,160 Speaker 1: Sagamore Hill that I love. It's um. Actually, my grandpa 439 00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:20,879 Speaker 1: used to live in this really cool historical building and 440 00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:24,360 Speaker 1: they changed it from an apartment building to this, so 441 00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:27,400 Speaker 1: it's in the lobby of my grandpa's old building, which 442 00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:30,920 Speaker 1: just like has this really cool like regal, old school 443 00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:35,560 Speaker 1: urban vibe to it. And uh so Sagamore Hill the 444 00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:40,360 Speaker 1: bar though, is like almost entirely like it's it's political themed, 445 00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:46,400 Speaker 1: which I love, UM, but it's named after um, a 446 00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:51,640 Speaker 1: president's like vacation home, and the drinks are hilarious. Because 447 00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:56,160 Speaker 1: they all have a it's Teddy Roosevelt's vacation. Yes. Um, 448 00:23:56,240 --> 00:24:00,479 Speaker 1: so they have like the Dr Fauci. Then they have 449 00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:07,040 Speaker 1: the first Lady. Um, they have the fuck you Mayor Dow, 450 00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:11,199 Speaker 1: which is has to be the mayor of Portland, who 451 00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:13,520 Speaker 1: like was one of the leaders of prohibition. Clearly these 452 00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:18,280 Speaker 1: bars like have their opinions on Prohibition. Um. They have 453 00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:21,399 Speaker 1: one called midterm Elections. And then they had one that 454 00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:24,440 Speaker 1: was super funny and I don't think it's there anymore, 455 00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:29,080 Speaker 1: but it was like, um called Hillary's Emails and it 456 00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:31,480 Speaker 1: didn't exist, so like you'd be like, oh, I'll have 457 00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:34,320 Speaker 1: a Hillary's emails and they just like hand you and 458 00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:38,639 Speaker 1: like air, which I thought was pretty funny. So but 459 00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:42,080 Speaker 1: I love that place. Um, and yeah, Portland's I could 460 00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:44,720 Speaker 1: do a whole episode. So that's my quick summary of Portland. 461 00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:48,959 Speaker 1: But last, but certainly not least, um Los Angeles. I'm 462 00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:51,680 Speaker 1: actually moving there in June. I don't think I've told 463 00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:54,320 Speaker 1: you guys that yet. Um. I'm going to keep a 464 00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:57,080 Speaker 1: place here with roommates in Nashville because I'm going to 465 00:24:57,160 --> 00:24:59,480 Speaker 1: be back and forth so much. But there are things 466 00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:02,119 Speaker 1: I need to do in Los Angeles and I need 467 00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:06,000 Speaker 1: to explore that, and I'm very excited. But there's so 468 00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:08,199 Speaker 1: many things I love about it. Okay, I'm gonna try 469 00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:11,119 Speaker 1: to do this quickly too because I have so many um. Okay, 470 00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:13,280 Speaker 1: first of all, my favorite shop is House of Intuition. 471 00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:17,080 Speaker 1: There's several different locations in like Santa Monica and Melrose. 472 00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:20,879 Speaker 1: There's one um in a Silver Lake and it's just 473 00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:25,000 Speaker 1: a really cool, like witchy shop. They have astrological candles 474 00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:28,440 Speaker 1: and tarot cards and these little theme birthday boxes or 475 00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:30,440 Speaker 1: it has all these things to send intentions for a year. 476 00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:34,040 Speaker 1: I get their intention candles, so you like light them, 477 00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:36,520 Speaker 1: send intention, leave them burning in a bowl of water 478 00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:38,960 Speaker 1: until they burn out, and then there's crystals at the 479 00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:44,240 Speaker 1: bottom that are like charged with your intention. Love that place. Um. 480 00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:47,879 Speaker 1: I love the fruit carts that are on every single 481 00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:50,480 Speaker 1: fucking street corner and it's like you can just make 482 00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:53,520 Speaker 1: such a fun relationship with your neighborhood fruit cart person 483 00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:56,959 Speaker 1: because they're just always there. And then like it's just 484 00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:59,639 Speaker 1: the cutest. But you can just get mango with a 485 00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:01,879 Speaker 1: ton of chamoya on it and tahan and it's like 486 00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:04,720 Speaker 1: just spicy mango. But the trick is to dump a 487 00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:07,719 Speaker 1: thing of tequila in there and just let it infuse 488 00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:10,000 Speaker 1: and then like use that for shots because then it 489 00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:15,320 Speaker 1: tastes like mango teen tequila shots. It's very good. Um. 490 00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:17,959 Speaker 1: I love this restaurant called Mrs. Fish that's downtown if 491 00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:20,520 Speaker 1: you feel like venturing to downtown l a um and 492 00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:22,840 Speaker 1: it's like basically in an aquarium and when you walk in, 493 00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:24,560 Speaker 1: you look up at the ceiling and it's all fish 494 00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:28,520 Speaker 1: and it's a sushi restaurant. It's very cool. My favorite 495 00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:32,880 Speaker 1: clothing store is Wasteland. It's a UM but the waste 496 00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:35,399 Speaker 1: land on Malroas that's very important. The other Wastelands I 497 00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:37,320 Speaker 1: do not find to be as good. But it's like 498 00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:41,720 Speaker 1: the best second hand store. It's not like you get deals, 499 00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:45,119 Speaker 1: but they definitely aren't cheap because you're getting really cool 500 00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:49,159 Speaker 1: like vintage um designer stuff.
