Hey, we're back. How was everybody's break? SDP episode 17 male plus female equals human. Hey Scott Hello. How's it going? Good. Good. Good. So, um a couple weeks ago I was thinking about stopping by your bar and saying hi, but I don't drink anymore and I had sweatpants on so I was like, nah I'll just skip it. So I think I texted you when I got home and I was like, okay I almost stopped by or I texted you the next day or something. I almost stopped by and you're like All you should have we've got um, I know you don't drink but we've got diet coke and I see Joan soda And what Joan soda? Oh Fancy soda. It's a kid's crack. Fancy Um, then you asked about our do we have lemons wine? Well, then I asked if you had never sodas I was being just you know, it's being kind of annoying and I knew it and I was being annoying on purpose Did you know that I was being annoying on purpose? I didn't think you were you're just asking questions about what we have Really? You knew I was a beer and wine bar and you told me you don't drink. I didn't know it was a beer and wine bar. I thought it was soul liquor. Well, you was really specific about everything that they had and I thought I was just being kind of an asshole and I was I Wasn't asking because I was gonna come in and drink it. I was just asking to see how far I could go I know and then I told you we have raspberries, strawberries, blueberries, and grapes and you're like, wow, that's much better. And then you went on with the whole thing. No, it's just your liquor But you wanted to know you're like that's good to know because those are way better than wine and lemon and those crappy cherries. Yeah, I was impressed. I was impressed with how he handled my questioning and I felt like I was being a Karen personally So a couple hours go by and I think I took a nap or something. I woke up and I was like I just had this great idea. So I called or I know I texted him and I said, um There's a group of women that wants to come in. It's their yearly Yearly get together for their group Quartzite Karens is the name of the group and they're tennis aficionados and I said, but the caveat is They're all named Karen And I thought at that point he was gonna be like, oh fuck you. You're full of shit. No, he fell for it Look, I didn't stink her. So now this becomes like a prank and um, I said, yeah you know they want there's this many of them and we talked about a date and then he went and put told his bosses about the date and everything and This thing just kept going so I his boss called me like a week later to set the thing up and um I had to tell her that it was a prank because I didn't want him setting aside that it was Valentine's weekend, too It would have been this. Well, it would have been I mean Scott was all like, oh, yeah, they could book the party from 3 to 7 and that'll go into karaoke They'll have such a good time Little donors agreed. She called me and so I had to tell her I said, well, I'm sorry. It's a prank What not and um She laughed so hard and she goes well, we can keep it going. I said, let's do it So I was kind of gonna see if there was So but she didn't keep a straight face, but she ended up telling him that day. I Mean, she came in after talking to you ask us like I asked a couple questions It was going on with who they don't know her how many and she's like, oh, it'll be like 40 50 40 50 Karen. Yeah, that's why I'm like really and then Scott was like really what time shot And they can roll in the karaoke, you know, we it'll be packed already and then I you know Just asking more about like what and then she just the look on her face was I can't do this anymore Yeah, I'm too serious. Like this is not gonna go on. It's got even start to be like well fine You know, that's gonna be should we have three here then and then roll it in? Then it was too much like but I didn't take it. I thought it was layers because I was like I Literally grabbed my phone and was about text you and she was like wait Don't text your daughter like she wanted me to like say it more like, you know I was like, but I thought it was hilarious like to I remember texting you. I'm like 40 fucking Karen's really Believable Oh, there's like two or three. They're hot. They want like you to work like that day I'm like, all right And the funny thing was they were tennis aficionados. They didn't play tennis They just watch people play tennis and probably critique them and I even made a flyer on Canva and I emailed it to him And I thought there was only a group of women that play tennis every week I've been doing it just like clearly outing and they did the barrels and boards before and they were all named Karen One in our that's why they got the other Initially, but to find all tennis aficionados name Karen That's pretty good. It's good. And it was like the how the time and do like the long con It was a long time It was like a good like week or so because you get I was like, what's your number? I'm and it was a week later. So we called you. It was a Baby shower, we're doing for 40 to 50 people at that time We've been doing this for each other, let's do it again They all would have been terrible if I would have booked anything we would have tried to She's like, well, what if they sue you for fraud or something? I was like, I explained how we've worked together in history and it And I did say to the owners I said you have a stellar employee though I said cuz he didn't even bat an eyelash when I told him at 50 Karen He's like, well, they could do it from 3 to 7 on Saturday and have it continuing to karaoke. I'm a great time Oh my god But I told her that he's a great employee and that you know, they really should value them So I just give them a plug they do and they're they're amazing owners And they take care of us so we can say a shout-out to barrels and boards in Rosalyn, Florida I'm in there. You got a calm barrels and boards charcuterie charcuterie Charcuterie shark coochie Shark Charcuterie Craft beer and all the finest wines that you can't find in the store And they're all so fabulous. I've been there two and a half years and or the The places that are two and a half years. I've been there too. It's going strong. It seems like we get new customers every day That's awesome. I live around the corner. They're like, I didn't know this is it And people like to snack I think I think we're going away from eating giant meals three times a day I don't I eat like once or twice a day a little thing I can't I mean I just turned 50 if I eat anything I'm gonna gain weight you can't you have to eat negative food when you're 50 Because you have to accelerate all the time. That's freshly cut fresh healthy So people like that they can come in and they can get a board and it sits there and they can just have a snack Away, and you get a lot of lurkers like that stay there for a really long time Not really, I mean we don't have people that come in there and just sit there Watch TV all day and eat off the board for eight hours. No, they don't. Yeah, I mean, I mean they come in there They'll have a sandwich and a few beers and they'll be there three hours, but they have three nine dollar beers Yeah, you know hiring our alcohol content like IPA's But then they like a sandwich that you know, it's good. Like our Italian or turkey amazing roast beef amazing Buffalo chicken sandwich amazing. Oh good. We have no right nothing fried. Oh, I hate I do not like fried food Don't worry. Yeah, I don't like fried food. I don't like fried food. I don't like Processed food.

That's nice. It's just a fun place to be. It's a good place. And I love cheese and crackers I mean even without going to a charcuterie place I just keep cheese and crackers in my home and some days that's all I eat I just have a couple cheese and crackers like twice.

Yeah, it's really good it's been going good and I really feel like I care about it like and I know it's going to be better because The owners are great. They've never been owners of a restaurant before they got it and now they're Excelling in their problems in the business. Yeah, but they're learning all the things about that. I've been in for like 15 years Yeah things that happen. There's like it. Well, when you care about a place that it makes it makes a lot of difference like I Mean I cared about I cared about revival when I was there. I mean we had such a good crew and we You know, it's just it was just so good. It's like you would never capture that moment in time again. I mean, yeah It was like like, you know, we take care of each other so I'm gonna work one day We did and you know what we never did is we never threw each other in the bus And that's you we always had our back each other's back and That's just so rare and if there was a problem you would just talk about it It's basically we wouldn't bring the owners in or anything involved. It would just we get it. We'd get it washed right then Exactly that night finish that night Exactly It was so much better Then a couple places I worked after that. I just didn't like and then ever since I've retired and you know, I really dig that I can't wait to retire. So, um, who is the worst bar best you've ever encountered? I Mean, I've encountered a lot or the worst type. I mean the type type of I mean, there's always a stereotype together. It's massive bar Oh, you know the other The old bar keep it whenever you know, I always hated As a bartender being helped Scotty because it was ooh, you know, I people that I know that I like and tell me that but And to me was that was I was drinking a lot more than and that was like my drunk alter ego Like I didn't do it Scotty.

No, I bet I've met plenty women that's one thing we're positive and I think I suppose a lot. Yeah, but I haven't really So it's not lately. It's been like over-the-counter stuff, which is like No one knows it's gonna happen 10 players like and now you go to a place and you know We're getting like pot wise and everything and they're like, you know, it's medically Necessary. Yeah, but I quit smoking pop. Yeah, and that's great. I mean, I like it just getting I feel like I can Do more I've just done it for so long To not be stoned. It's not normal. Yeah, I should be like that. I used to smoke it all the time and I Don't I just got to point where I stopped. I just stopped smoking it. It's weird I could alcohol and cigarettes. I just quit but I used to smoke all the time. I wasn't late. I was I'd smoke in the morning. I'd smoke at lunch After work Place clothes, you know, I don't like smoke. We smoke after work man. Yeah, I have the pens anyone I'm gonna be cheating off those pens all shifts. Yeah When I hit your pen, I never had my own. Yeah, and it's something you need like I Put it to Damien when I used to work with you know that I would You want me to go take a shot or go outside? They they had a week like I need this because people annoy you and you know Oh, you're babysitting Trump's and even our boss man when I first started working there. I caught I was coming boss He was cool. And um, when I first started working there I remember saying I can't be sober and be in this place at all And you know, I really adopted that That theory because I couldn't I couldn't I could never be in there sober and work and do that No, there was always a 12 o'clock shot So clock and we've been busting our ass room in this room It's not maybe need that just cut the edge like you do and it makes you feel so much better And you can you're so much nicer to people they come up and you smile Then it just goes off easy like if you don't You're not on edge or anything. Yeah, I mean I've heard nice, but like I'm not proud of that I'm that you're really drunk. You take it too far. Yeah, I've been and you know, you work with money and everything You got to protect the owner It's just more difficult You're just not on your a game. Yeah, I'm not too proud for some reason that revival I could be on I could be hammered to be on my team Because it was always like everybody had to expect like it was easier. It was great. It's great That was a fun place. I Mean I just think it was is way too expensive rent and just not like it just it was stupid to not come down And then lose that they lost so much money by doing that. They the bar didn't go out of business The the landlord would come down on the rent and he charges stupid exorbitant amount and the owners Dealing with it. So they just shut it down, but it didn't shut down. It wasn't because of money or anything Nope, it's still empty. Yep. So empty. So what is the word of the landlords for the landlords? I've never looked at it before where they found the locations So much I mean, yeah, you can't Even the money that Jeff was making I mean he was probably breaking it in with all those people But even making that kind of money, that's such a huge overhead Absolutely overhead and then cost of being a paying employees was just the payroll and all that crazy It was a big place and then I mean the air-conditioner ever work and oh, it's hot There was something I said there was a night that they canceled like soon work because there was no summer air-conditioner broken Literally hundred and ten degrees in there. Yeah, but I remember working some nights where it was hot. We would just sweat balls Do you think there's a difference between a male bartender and a female bartender? Absolutely. Yeah, like I know some people You know come in during a day because That's what a female bartender works and they love to come and see that female bartender But then like I cover their shit. They walk in like, oh, it's you. Yeah, and they have one beer earlier I was like, oh, they just ate for four or five But I don't get offended that gives me I go in male a female Like the male I can talk sports with like what's going on and people do it I don't talk sports with all day and I've had female talk the same or come in but it's you know There's definitely a different Feel to it. Like when a male comes in that's not a female there, but at night it doesn't matter because you know You got three or four or whatever, right? That's weird. That's weird. But it is people come in before and say oh, it's you but as the business as like You know during the day you want to stay like you want you wanted to look at first me on the bar male or female Like doesn't matter and if you're a male you better make sure those other males like you Cuz then they're gonna buy more but as you know, you just have to have showing your big tits in there Ha ha, you know if you don't have big tits and act funny and just make their drink farm and put her with them And they're gonna tip you 30 some early to me Well, I think we've come to the end of the road here tonight You have already.
