at the airport?
Speaker 3 (00:44):
I started at the airports.
After the COVID happened, myrestaurant shut down that I'd
been at for five, six years.
I had a friend, malcolm, thatkept pushing me to go into
airports, kept pushing me to gointo airports, so he slid me in
there in the back door.
The rest was history.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
Shout out to Malcolm, episode four.
The rest was history.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
Shout out to Malcolm, episode four.
Since then I've loved being inthe airports and I never want to
leave.
It's one of those things thatonce you're in, you're never
leaving.
You don't go anywhere.
You're not going to go anywhereelse, You're just going to make
friends and hop around.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
You worked at this little satellite bar.
Can you give us a little bitabout how, maybe, it was set up?
How many?
What was the capacity of therestaurant?
Speaker 3 (01:36):
So it was just down a little hallway.
The only thing next to it was abathroom and a little Hudson
stand, and there were a littleconvenience store.
Yeah, a little newspaperconvenience store.
We had no kitchen, we hadnothing to the sort of food
except for a little likepre-wrapped sandwiches.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
It sounds like the little satellite bar I started
at years ago.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
That's very common, for you know it was super fun
during COVID too, cause you hadto serve food with your alcohol
and we were always out of food.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
Like okay, so why are you here?
I don't.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
So we had Carrie on the last show.
I don't know if you ever workedwith.
He worked with Carrie.
Yeah, we had her on the lastshow talking about she's now
working that bar.
Yeah, no, yeah, and she wastalking about all the
shenanigans she's been through.
Great, that was a great episode.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
It's been.
It was a wild ride down there.
The cops definitely had theireyes on us most of the time
because it was just one largeparty.
Yeah no, I used to bartend downthere myself.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
I can't bartend down there anymore.
You're not allowed.
I like to make things rowdy andI can't do that, so that is not
an inviting environment for me.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
I tell people all the time it's not Cabo.
You can't do that here.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Yes, Not an all-inclusive resort.
We're on federal property, guys.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
Yeah, we're on federal property.
Guys, it's not an all-inclusiveresort.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
I don't care that there's an eight hour delay.
Like I always say, all yourmisdemeanors turn into felonies.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
Here it's for the psa um.
So so you worked there for howmany years there?
Okay, 2022, probably two, twoand a half years.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
Okay, I was there enough to see some things More
so than.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
I thought I would Exactly In an airport it doesn't
take so long I'm being honest,you could work there a week and
see some things.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
So you still now you don't work at that bar, but you
do still work at a bar.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
In two different airports actually.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Okay, good times, it's a little bit.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
I say a little bit.
It's a lot more low-key, morelike a wine bar setting and
people are sipping their wines.
They're not pounding shots oftequila and we have a kitchen
where we can feed them.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Yeah, Good times.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
It's very rare that I have to cut somebody off
anymore now.
Back then it was a dailyoccurrence.
Like no, no, Drink some wateron me, Just bottle of water on
me and go sit down at your gateand put your mask on.
That's your best friend rightnow, during COVID.
No one can smell you.
Just shut up, put your mask on,so I know you've seen.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
Talk to me, talk to me.
What shenanigans have you seen?
I know the cops have been downthere a few times.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
I mean, I was warned of other bartenders not being
able to work down there, notpointing any fingers.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
No Drop.
You can name drop, it's cool,just not last name.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
Chris and Spencer are no longer allowed to work down
here.
Don't be like Chris and Spencer, no not Chris.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
No, Chris was still not different Chris totally
different oh yeah, he.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
He was not allowed to work in the night shifts
because it would just get toorowdy and crazy with him.
He, he would try to keep it upuntil 1 am, and I'm like there
are no flights going on at thispoint.
What are you doing?
They're laid over for the night.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
They've got to have a place to stay.
They've got to have a place tostay.
They need to go to their hotel.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
This is ridiculous.
So you know, the cops liked mefor the longest time just
because I did kind of run withan iron fist.
I was willing to cut people off, give them their water, send
them on their way.
Very nice about it, in anonchalant way Like hey, shut up
, You're in a federal buildingand depending on where you're
going to get arrested in thisbuilding depends on where you go
(05:34):
to jail.
So figure it out, Go sit down.
Shut up and have a drink, butthen again, I was the one flying
with the drinks the entire time.
It's like is there anotherround of shots coming from Mark,
cause this guy's buying.
There's only, you know, 13seats around the bar a couple of
two jobs.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
to clarify, you're not the little Filipino lady
that um Carrie was describing.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
I am no, I am not I she is actually Never mind Long
story.
She sells lots of great bagsand stuff.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
In a way, in a roundabout way, she's related to
my youngest son.
Long story.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
I don't know what to do with that.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
Yeah.
She cooks amazing thoughanytime I'd come.
Yeah, you know, there was nokitchen.
The kitchen was her.
Speaker 2 (06:31):

filipino noodles do you wantsome you know, and she always
goes hey, baby, but that woman Imean, you know, she has the
voice.

New Groove, but do you rememberYzma?
Speaker 1 (06:51):

abrasive.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
She's a cartoon character, she's a walking

Speaker 3 (06:58):
Sit down, have a drink and she just tells you

Speaker 2 (07:11):
You don't even mean to do what you're doing.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
You don't have control of your body.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
When I first met her, I was working at Rodeo and she
was just the grab and go.
She wasn't even bartending.
But yeah, the first shift Iworked with her, I was down
there, I opened and within threeminutes I had 15 people
drinking Bloody Mary.
She's like you, you need aBloody Mary, get in here.

And I had a full bar and I was like okay, thanks,
she's like the, without thecardboard sign and the bell.

to be there or not, and she's aforce to be reckoned with she's
amazing she's got mind controlover D-Day.

Most of the time it was peoplethat you know it's an airport.
You don't know where they justcame from.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
You don't know how many drinks they've had.
If it's midday, they could havebeen traveling all day.
We also don't know what kind ofXanax.

They get anxious when they flyThey'll sit down.

People are coming.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
That's assuming they would even notice that.

That's your job, though, as the bartender.
No, I mean that they would Tonotice that someone's coming
down the hallway.
Speaker 2 (09:29):

awareness to notice what's goingon there?

well-known people.
Once they start telling theirstory, you get a few drinks and

That kind of threw me, but I'mlike, whatever you want.
Everyone at the bar is kind oflike do I know him?
I'm like, no, shh, you don't.
This is my moment.

as soon as I hand him his check,I'm like I'm a huge fan, really
.
Thank you so much.

Speaker 2 (11:47):

Every time he was at our bar,people would freak out and
there'd be people in the bar.
Speaker 3 (11:54):

a little bit older, so they allknow him.
They're all going over thereand he's so nice, he was so nice
Everyone took photos with him.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
You're older, Chris.
How do you not know this guy?
Speaker 2 (12:15):
Well, I wouldn't know the name off the top.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
I would if I saw his face.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
I've never waited on him, and this was like the week
before Dusty passed away, so hewas going to a show in South
Dakota.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
Because you know, down that hallway I get those
weird small town slides.
That's about the only placeyou're going in our tournament

We're going to Peoria Illinois.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
Amy Adams came in one time.

Speaker 1 (13:09):
Okay, I recognize her immediately.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
Yeah, Lois Lane yeah.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
And you know, at the point you're supposed to ID
every single person that comesin the airport, whether they're
17 or 70.
So I don't care if you're 70.
You're showing me your ID.
You had to have it to get inhere.
Flash it at me Doesn't matter.
So she shows me her ID.
I was like I figured it was you, I'm such a huge fan.
She said thank you so much,Asked me what she should order
(13:33):
at the Shiner, since she was inTexas, or a gin and tonic.
And I was like, well, Shiner,duh, you're here in Texas.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
Yeah, gin and tonic.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
Right, you can get that afterwards.
She was with her daughterthough, so didn't want to make a
scene or a fuss, but she, sheput her hands in mine and was
like what's your name, lindsay?
Lindsay, I'm Amy, it's so niceto meet you, and she was just so
genuine about it.
I'm like thank you, lois Lane.

soon as I did with the BillyGibbons thing, and my brother
goes Lindsay, don't you dareembarrass us in front of Lois
Lane, I'm going to need you toshut it.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
You're not here, anybody else cool.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
I know that I've run into a lot of athletes.
I don't know who they arebecause I don't fall sports, but
I can tell that they're massiverings, that they've won
championships Every now and then.
I'll try to Google them fromtheir cards.
Usually, for the most part,they're not nice.
They don't want the attention.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
Yeah, no doubt.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
They got that big ring on their finger.
But the minute that you say Isee that you played such and
such and they're like, yeah,cool, so you're not going to
take your sunglasses off or talkto me.
What can I get for you?
Oh, hard pass.
But yeah, most of the timeeveryone's super nice, super
chill.
Danny Trejo, that was anotherone.
(14:53):
Spencer was working one of myshifts.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
He had covered.
What's that Spencer wascovering for me?
Speaker 3 (14:59):
Yeah, I remember Spencer mentioning he met him
and he sent me pictures and I'mlike damn it, damn it, one time
I need a shift covered.
And apparently he was supernice.
He just had a coat.
He's a really nice guy.
Everyone recognized him.
You can't not recognize Danny.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
He just gave everyone autographs and pictures.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
I mean for the most part.
Everyone is always surprisedwhen I tell them about my
celebrity stories becausethey're like wouldn't they fly
private?
I'm like no man, they're justlike us.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
Not everybody has a private jet In these places.
There's one way to get to them.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
Even if you have a puddle jumper.
That's not making it for no,they fly commercial just like us
.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
It's not like Harrison Ford or John Travolta
and has their own airplanes andshit.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
Plus that's expensive .
We're not all Travis Kelsey andTaylor Swift.
We can't.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
Well, even a lot of people that do it run themselves
a bankrupt.
They can't afford to do it.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
So what's the point at that point?
Just fly commercial and dealwith your airport bartenders.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
That's it, just get in first class.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
Whatever, no problem.
Your airport bartenders andthat's it.
Just get in first class,whatever, no problem.
Go to the lounge if you don'twant to be around people, um, so
talk to us now about the winebar, you're in now.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
How's that going?
I love it there, love the factthat it's mostly business
travelers, so you know you don'tget the rowdy group.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
A lot of suits that come into that.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Blake, I know you've also worked in the wine bar.
People never get a littlesloshed.
It doesn't take a whole lot ofwine for some folks.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
I've had my fair share of.
I'm going to take this bottlefrom you.
You're going to be lucky.
I don't smash it over your headbecause we're in a federal
building and I don't want to getarrested and I would like to
get you safely to your gates.
Yeah, there was one time Iordered a $360 bottle of wine.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
One of the only ones that we had.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
It was on the shelf for a while Letting other people
try it.
He literally had one glass outof this and just turned into
this giant able where I couldn'tget him to sign his check.
His card got declined.
He tried another one.
He wanted to play that gamewith me where I don't want to
hand you the card.
Very sexual, harassing, veryjust cringy.
Maybe you can come by my yachtclub and shine my yacht for me
(17:19):
okay, if you can't pay thischeck, you're not going to be
able to afford me so are yougoing to give me a plane ticket?
Let's get past this let's speedthings along here it got to the
point where you know where I'mworking.
Now you have to.
I can't be as crass as I was atthis little satellite bar.
I can't drop the F-bomb as much.
I can't get my point across bycussing.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
I have to keep my composure.
It's much quieter in that barthan other places.
That will be her.
Speaker 3 (17:46):
Yeah, it's a different world for me, because
normally I like to speak my mind, I like to be a little rowdy
and loud, and I can't do thatthere.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
I like to be a little rowdy and loud and I can't do
that there, and also everyonethere's tab is at least $200.
Yeah, Even if they're there for30 minutes.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
They come in for a soup and a glass of wine, that's
a $55 check.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
They are paying, yeah , so you've got to be you know
Whether they want to or not.
Fine dining in that airport,which is hard to do.
I didn't realize this Cabernetwas $28.
Well, did you look at the menu?
Speaker 3 (18:15):
No, I just said, I wanted this good one.
Can you read?
Speaker 2 (18:19):
Well, you asked for it by name.
Speaker 3 (18:20):
I think I asked that at least once.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
No, I think maybe you should read it to me 100%.
Yeah, just the other day.
Speaker 3 (18:27):
What is this seared salmon salad?
What's a seared salmon salad?
I couldn't hide my noise.
I was like what do you mean Ifyou?
Speaker 1 (18:32):
don't know what it is .
It's like they come into ourrestaurant.
You can't afford it.
We've got 10 margaritas onthere.
We've got like 11 differentflavors what's in this margarita
?
And 47 different tequilas wecan make those with, and they're
like can I get a margarita?
I'm like I'll give you the bestdamn margarita.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
No, no, my favorite thing about the wine bar is as
soon as they walk in, becausewe're that first thing they see
when they walk in throughsecurity Can.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
I get a margarita.
Speaker 3 (19:02):
No keep walking.
We don't serve that here.
Go to Kiske get a Laredo.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
I'll just get a beer then.
That was my least favoritething at the wine bar.
Speaker 3 (19:12):
I'll just get a beer.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
Just go down there and get a beer.
You're not going to be happyhere.
The beer's going to cost more.
We only have three beers.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
We do have liquors now, but they're $75 for a nice
shot of scotch.
It's a good scotch.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
If you're going to do it, then just go all in and
turn it into a full bar.
Don't do that.
I'll just take a scotch ortequila on the rocks.
Okay, that'll be $150.
What you guys don't have, aqueer boat.
No.
Nobody wants that here, nobodywants that anywhere.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
Garbage person.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
Just go all in.
I would always be like, hey,you're not going to hurt my
feelings, just keep going, justkeep going, just keep walking
that way.
Speaker 3 (19:49):
Do you want a full bar?
But I saw you.
There's one right past thebookstore right past the
bathroom.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
I would always go.
Any other bar here has thatthey go.
What?
Yes, any bar but this one.
But this one, what I'll?
Speaker 3 (20:05):
just have a Miller Lite.
I did have a gentleman theother day yell at me about soups
.
All we had was tomato basil andhe was not happy with that.
I want something else.
Okay, I'm so sorry, like wedon't offer any other.
Well, what soups do you have?
And I'm like in the airportyeah, what soups do the airport
have?
He was so mad at me that Icould not tell him.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
I'm like.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
I don't know sir I don't work at those other places
.
And finally, after about fiveminutes of us going back and
forth, I told him he could getan information, kiox.
I just looked at him and saidno soup for you and I just went
about my business.
He probably didn't even get it.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
No, I don't care, though it was a victory for me
that was for me, that was notfor him um my other.
My other favorite thing therewas, yeah, any anywhere where
you sell salmon and then peoplealways come and go.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
I want that salmon.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
Well done.
Where are you getting salmon?
What are you doing?
Speaker 3 (21:04):
How long do you have before your flight?
15 minutes Not going to happen.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
Yeah, I'd like a well-done salmon.
I've got seven and a halfminutes before I board to
Albuquerque.
Do you know what well-donemeans?
Speaker 1 (21:15):
No, I thought you had the mixed salmon on the menu.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
Do you have a microwave?
Speaker 3 (21:23):
here, don't tempt me.
I will do that one day.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
You can't put that on the George Foreman grill.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
I've got a Foreman in my bag, just hand it to me,
it's fine.
Speaker 3 (21:34):
I got it through security.
Don't ask questions.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
It's just a small electronic.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
With iron plates.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
Yeah, whatever what?
Speaker 3 (21:45):
are you?
Speaker 1 (21:45):
going to do Smash somebody's hand in there.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
Well, it's very heavy .
There it is.
It's very heavy, no, michaelScott.
Speaker 3 (21:53):
You can't take your wine keys into the water.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
I just like to have bacon ready and fresh in the
water.
Michael, how did you smash yourfoot?
How did you grill your foot ina George Foreman?
Speaker 3 (22:03):
grill.
Seriously, that sounds likesomething you would do.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
Me.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
Yes, I just like to have fresh bacon in the water.
Speaker 3 (22:12):
You're vegan, but you don't eat bacon.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
No, I love bacon.
Who doesn't love bacon?
Speaker 2 (22:21):
now say it like you mean it I love bacon.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
I love bacon, there we go, there we go and you know
I think bacon and I have a love,love relationship.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
Okay, seems a little forced.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
I love to eat bacon.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
Bacon loves to have me eat it.
I thought you were goingsomewhere else with that.
No, I wasn't.
But I will say, I've seen twopeople naked Not fully naked.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
Back up.
Speaker 3 (22:51):
Not in my life.
At the airport and not at thesame time.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
Thanks for the clarification.
Speaker 3 (22:57):
There was one woman that came out of the bathroom At
the airport.
Oh, and not at the same time.
Thanks for the clarification.
Yeah, that's a good question.
There was one woman that cameout of the bathroom without her
pants on or underwear.
Her shoes were still on, so theprocess that this took.
Oh, she was shit hammered, hadto take off her shoes, to take
off her pants and underwear,then put her shoes back on.
That's where the logic was.
I need my shoes to get out ofthis bathroom.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
I don't need my pants or maybe she was wearing a
skirt and she went to thebathroom and then just stood up
out of it.
It was pants and just forgot topull it up.
Who does that?
Speaker 3 (23:23):
I don't know.
I was like that sounds easierthan the other one.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
Maybe she didn't want to get her feet on the dirty
airport bathroom floor.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
Explain to me why there are still no pants though,
pants though.
Did you shit your pants?
Yeah sure.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
I would rather go pantsless than shit.
Maybe go buy a hoodie.
Speaker 3 (23:40):
Ripe somebody to buy a hoodie, wrap it around you.
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
Go shit pants first across the hall, find something.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
I'm going pantsless.
That's less embarrassing thanshit pants to me.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
What are you doing?
Shitting your pants?
In the first place, there's apants bandit in the bathroom.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
My pants are gone in the bathroom.
My pants are gone.
I was changing clothes.
The pants bandit took them.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
Is that what we're?
Speaker 3 (24:02):
going with.
He's the pants bandit.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
I'm not at liberty to comment on that.
Speaker 3 (24:10):
There are worse things you can be.
We can never deny so.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
This episode's off the rails on.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
It's about you do.
Can you give more detail?
So the what we're going with isshe shit her pants.
That's why she came out withthe shoes on.
Speaker 3 (24:29):
So the the bar was right across from the bathroom,
so you know, half the time I'mgetting yelled at where's the
bathroom and I'm like right, soright there behind me, wait, so
explain.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
So there's a men's and a women's public bathroom,
and then there is a….
Speaker 3 (24:44):
Like a family bathroom yeah, handicapped
family bathroom that you can goin, where you can go in there
and change the baby, but they'reall right there.
You walk five feet and you'rethere.
You're in the bathroom.
You can hit it with yoursandwich that you bought Right.
I can throw the change.
Don't call my $14 sale Turn onmy receipt and hit the bathroom
(25:06):
door.
Where is it?
You know, people are mad.
They can't find the bathroom.
Once they do find it, then theycome out pantsless.
I'm like I didn't even say.
Cops come down.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
Of course this is one of the cops.
I'm like I didn't even Copscome down, but obviously
multiple times, because we'regetting to the next story
momentarily.
Speaker 3 (25:19):
What happened?
I'm like I don't know.
I didn't serve this woman.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
She didn't come from my bar.
Speaker 3 (25:23):
I don't know where she came from, crazy town, I
don't know.
Send her back.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
You'll have to review the film.
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (25:32):
She's got no socks on either.
This is very concerning.
Like you have shoes on, youhave pants on.
So not sandals, but shoes no,pants no socks, just shoes.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
And what age was this ?
Young lady, older lady Probably40s, 50s, oh well maybe her
medication kicked in.
Speaker 3 (25:51):
She wasn't 20.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (25:53):
So there's no.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
She wasn't hammered from someone's bar in the
airport.
Speaker 3 (25:58):
There's no telling she could have been.
She could have wandered downlike a homeless person looking
for a sandwich that we did nothave, and went to the bathroom
instead.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
Okay, it could have been the bar of pill jar, oh top
cocktail Uh pill jar.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
Uh, needless to say, she was taken away.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
Uh, needless to say, she was taken away.
Speaker 3 (26:20):
Yes, they're like nah , she's fine People wanted to
know if she'd been there.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
Put your pants on and get on your flight, lady.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
They're like there's no way she wasn't in here.
I don't know what to tell you?
Speaker 3 (26:28):
Do?
You know how many bars thereare in this place?
This is a big airport Can'tkeep up with everything Does she
have pills in her bag?
Speaker 1 (26:33):
check that first last time was.
Speaker 3 (26:37):
This guy fell out of his chair.
I'm giving him one drink.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
I'm drinking that the worst and he fell
Speaker 3 (26:44):
out of his chair and like, oh crap, he was huge too,
so like I had to get two othergrown men to help me to a chair,
give him a bottle of water, andthat's when I noticed the giant
knee brace.
I'm like, perfect, perfect,you're on pain pills.
You said okay, good, that's notthis isn't going to make me
look bad.
Cops come down.
What happened?
I'm like.
Obviously he's on pain pills,why'd you serve him?
(27:05):
I cause I don't look ateveryone's knees, nor can I see
them under the bar.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
And our job is to have a 30-second interaction and
make that judgment.
Speaker 3 (27:18):
Yeah, what do you want me to do?
I gave him the water, I gavehim one shot of whiskey and then
all of a sudden he can't standup.
He's 300 pounds.
I can handle more whiskey thanhim there you go.
They weren't happy.
They weren't happy about myattitude at that point.
Well, stop bugging me, Dan.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
It's spicy, so naked person number two.
Speaker 3 (27:44):
Oh, there were two different instances where one
woman thought that well, and shewasn't wrong, if I flash this
guy across the bar he will buyme shots.
She wasn't wrong, it happened.
This also isn't Bourbon Street.
I didn't know what to do.
I'm like, oh, I don't knowwhether to film it or to call
(28:06):
security at this point.
You can't do that in an airport.
And then another woman, I thinkshe was just older, she didn't
know airport.
And then another woman, I thinkshe was just older, she didn't
know she would have beencrocheting with beef jerky
sticks.
She was just her meds were offthe charts she didn't know.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
She was at the yeah, she didn't know.
Speaker 3 (28:23):
She was at the airport.
She came out with no shirt, abra and like a bra that covers
everything, because she's 70 andher jacket was like slipped
over her shoulder and I'm like,oh, oh, honey, no, no, we're
missing something.
Let me put the jacket on.
I don't.
Maybe a fashion statement Notwith a bra that big.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
And how much did you serve this young lady?
Speaker 3 (28:48):
Oh, I didn't see that person either.
I'm like am I a bathroomattendant or a bartender?
What is happening?
Speaker 1 (28:54):
You're getting very defensive right now.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
These people serve themselves.
Speaker 3 (28:59):
The girl that did flash the person was at my bar.
I did serve her.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
Oh, and the truth comes out.
Speaker 3 (29:05):
But sending a woman that came out so confused.
I'm like I didn't serve youanything.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
She was confused before she ever got there she
stays confused the younger girlthat flashed the guy.
Speaker 3 (29:16):
I can't be mad about it.
I mean I probably would havedone it in my 20s.
Yeah, I could have, but shejust kind of kept him out there.
I'm like, girl, put it down,you got your free shot.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
It's called a flash.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
It's not called a cover Again this is, this is
federal property, you guys, Stopit, at least make it quick.
Speaker 3 (29:34):
There are so many cameras.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
Again subtlety is the art of the airport.
Speaker 3 (29:38):
You just girls, gone wild yourself about, even
knowing it Now the whole.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
And how much?
Now all of South.
Speaker 3 (29:45):
Dakota knows what areola is like, I mean those
girls probably one shot, onedrink in and those you know, the
gentleman probably bought themaround, but we that was before
we got onto the two drink banwhere you can't serve anyone
more than two drinks.
I'm like you do realize that'sa little unrealistic if
someone's sitting here for fourhours A lot of our guests.
Speaker 2 (30:08):
That's 15.
Speaker 3 (30:09):
They cannot have no more than two drinks on their
check.
I'm like cool, you need toclose that up.
We need to start you anothercheck.
We need to find a way aroundthis.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
It does not work like that.
Speaker 2 (30:19):
You just said no more than two drinks on a check you
didn't say there was no,asterisk, you didn't say whilst
they were sitting here.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
You can have four drinks, two doubles.
Speaker 3 (30:29):
I think it was different down at that satellite
bar.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
Well, no, I'm not talking about.
I'm not talking about back then, I'm talking about now, it was
the loudest yeah and that's fair.
Speaker 3 (30:40):
Like, if you want to, you're, you are kind of at a
stainless resource.
Speaker 2 (30:44):
You got to pay for it .
Speaker 3 (30:45):
Go to the next bar if you want to have more drinks.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
Well, that's what I always tell people, even when
I'm like hey, you know even whenI.
Even if they haven't had thelimit.
I'm like you've met your limit.
Speaker 3 (30:54):
Here.
I'm like you're happy to trysomewhere else.
Speaker 2 (30:57):
I just can't give you anything.
You see that bar, that's 60feet away.
Look, you're happy to try yourluck somewhere else.
See that bar right behind youover your shoulder.
Speaker 3 (31:03):
This is just all we can do.
You've got to protect yourself.
You've got to protect your job,just keep going.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
This airport's bigger than Just keep going, you'll
find another place.
Speaker 3 (31:12):
The problem was after they'd hit all of your bars and
the other bars.
That's when they came down tomy satellite bar and went to
that bathroom and came outwithout their pants on.
Speaker 2 (31:22):
Oh really.
Speaker 3 (31:24):
Like cool, cool, cool cool.
I haven't served you, but I getto handle their mess.
Speaker 1 (31:32):
And I'm sure you handled quite a few messes from
the barbecue place as well.
Speaker 3 (31:36):
Oh yeah, yeah, we're right next to each other.
Then that hallway just funneledthem down to their gate.
Speaker 2 (31:40):
Then they actually have to go down to where the
dark tunnel, where their flightis yes, uh-oh.
Welcome to the dark side.
Speaker 3 (31:47):
Pismat, North Dakota.
Speaker 2 (31:48):
Five hours in.
Let's go see what's going ondown here.
Speaker 1 (31:50):
Look here on down here, Look, here we got a
newsstand and ooh, this bar.

Speaker 3 (32:00):
That one looks a little busted.
Can I have that one?
Sure Been there since 7am.

want to introduce my co-host.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
What's up?
Everybody Balaké.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
Welcome back everybody.
This week we've got MissLindsey who worked parallel to
us years ago in a littlesatellite bar.
Lindsay, welcome to the show.
Thanks for coming on today.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
Hey guys, it's super nice to be here.
Thanks for having me.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
Yeah, so for starters , tell us how long did you work
at the airport?
Speaker 3 (00:44):
I started at the airports.
After the COVID happened, myrestaurant shut down that I'd
been at for five, six years.
I had a friend, malcolm, thatkept pushing me to go into
airports, kept pushing me to gointo airports, so he slid me in
there in the back door.
The rest was history.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
Shout out to Malcolm, episode four.
The rest was history.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
Shout out to Malcolm, episode four.
Since then I've loved being inthe airports and I never want to
leave.
It's one of those things thatonce you're in, you're never
leaving.
You don't go anywhere.
You're not going to go anywhereelse, You're just going to make
friends and hop around.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
You worked at this little satellite bar.
Can you give us a little bitabout how, maybe, it was set up?
How many?
What was the capacity of therestaurant?
Speaker 3 (01:36):
So it was just down a little hallway.
The only thing next to it was abathroom and a little Hudson
stand, and there were a littleconvenience store.
Yeah, a little newspaperconvenience store.
We had no kitchen, we hadnothing to the sort of food
except for a little likepre-wrapped sandwiches.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
It sounds like the little satellite bar I started
at years ago.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
That's very common, for you know it was super fun
during COVID too, cause you hadto serve food with your alcohol
and we were always out of food.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
Like okay, so why are you here?
I don't.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
So we had Carrie on the last show.
I don't know if you ever workedwith.
He worked with Carrie.
Yeah, we had her on the lastshow talking about she's now
working that bar.
Yeah, no, yeah, and she wastalking about all the
shenanigans she's been through.
Great, that was a great episode.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
It's been.
It was a wild ride down there.
The cops definitely had theireyes on us most of the time
because it was just one largeparty.
Yeah no, I used to bartend downthere myself.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
I can't bartend down there anymore.
You're not allowed.
I like to make things rowdy andI can't do that, so that is not
an inviting environment for me.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
I tell people all the time it's not Cabo.
You can't do that here.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Yes, Not an all-inclusive resort.
We're on federal property, guys.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
Yeah, we're on federal property.
Guys, it's not an all-inclusiveresort.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
I don't care that there's an eight hour delay.
Like I always say, all yourmisdemeanors turn into felonies.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
Here it's for the psa um.
So so you worked there for howmany years there?
Okay, 2022, probably two, twoand a half years.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
Okay, I was there enough to see some things More
so than.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
I thought I would Exactly In an airport it doesn't
take so long I'm being honest,you could work there a week and
see some things.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
So you still now you don't work at that bar, but you
do still work at a bar.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
In two different airports actually.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Okay, good times, it's a little bit.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
I say a little bit.
It's a lot more low-key, morelike a wine bar setting and
people are sipping their wines.
They're not pounding shots oftequila and we have a kitchen
where we can feed them.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Yeah, Good times.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
It's very rare that I have to cut somebody off
anymore now.
Back then it was a dailyoccurrence.
Like no, no, Drink some wateron me, Just bottle of water on
me and go sit down at your gateand put your mask on.
That's your best friend rightnow, during COVID.
No one can smell you.
Just shut up, put your mask on,so I know you've seen.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
Talk to me, talk to me.
What shenanigans have you seen?
I know the cops have been downthere a few times.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
I mean, I was warned of other bartenders not being
able to work down there, notpointing any fingers.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
No Drop.
You can name drop, it's cool,just not last name.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
Chris and Spencer are no longer allowed to work down
here.
Don't be like Chris and Spencer, no not Chris.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
No, Chris was still not different Chris totally
different oh yeah, he.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
He was not allowed to work in the night shifts
because it would just get toorowdy and crazy with him.
He, he would try to keep it upuntil 1 am, and I'm like there
are no flights going on at thispoint.
What are you doing?
They're laid over for the night.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
They've got to have a place to stay.
They've got to have a place tostay.
They need to go to their hotel.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
This is ridiculous.
So you know, the cops liked mefor the longest time just
because I did kind of run withan iron fist.
I was willing to cut people off, give them their water, send
them on their way.
Very nice about it, in anonchalant way Like hey, shut up
, You're in a federal buildingand depending on where you're
going to get arrested in thisbuilding depends on where you go
(05:34):
to jail.
So figure it out, Go sit down.
Shut up and have a drink, butthen again, I was the one flying
with the drinks the entire time.
It's like is there anotherround of shots coming from Mark,
cause this guy's buying.
There's only, you know, 13seats around the bar a couple of
two jobs.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
to clarify, you're not the little Filipino lady
that um Carrie was describing.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
I am no, I am not I she is actually Never mind Long
story.
She sells lots of great bagsand stuff.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
In a way, in a roundabout way, she's related to
my youngest son.
Long story.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
I don't know what to do with that.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
Yeah.
She cooks amazing thoughanytime I'd come.
Yeah, you know, there was nokitchen.
The kitchen was her.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
she was the one giving me all the food the
filipino noodles do you wantsome you know, and she always
goes hey, baby, but that woman Imean, you know, she has the
voice.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
uh, I don't know if you've ever seen the Emperor's
New Groove, but do you rememberYzma?
Speaker 1 (06:51):
That is her voice.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
Great impersonation, by the way, but any time that
people she's very loud, she'svery out there, she's very
abrasive.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
She's a cartoon character, she's a walking
cartoon character.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
Sit down, have a drink and she just tells you
what to do you, just do it.
Sit down, have a drink, and shejust tells you what to do.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
You just do it.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
You just do it.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
You want double.
It's like being in a nail salonbut not being in a nail salon.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
You don't even mean to do what you're doing.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
You don't have control of your body.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
When I first met her, I was working at Rodeo and she
was just the grab and go.
She wasn't even bartending.
But yeah, the first shift Iworked with her, I was down
there, I opened and within threeminutes I had 15 people
drinking Bloody Mary.
She's like you, you need aBloody Mary, get in here.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
And I had a full bar and I was like okay, thanks,
she's like the, without thecardboard sign and the bell.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
she's bringing people in whether they know they want
to be there or not, and she's aforce to be reckoned with she's
amazing she's got mind controlover D-Day.
I don't want to get toosidetracked here.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
So no, back to what I said earlier.
I know the cops have been downthere Talk.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
Oh God, okay, Spill the beans.
Most of the time it was peoplethat you know it's an airport.
You don't know where they justcame from.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
You don't know how many drinks they've had.
If it's midday, they could havebeen traveling all day.
We also don't know what kind ofXanax.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
they've been popping If they were delayed.
They get anxious when they flyThey'll sit down.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
Whatever you're into, we don't judge.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
Halfway through.
They can't stand.
I'm like, oh fuck, you're notokay.
We need to get this guy out ofhere before the cops get down
here.
Let's be proactive.
We need to get this guy out ofhere before the cops get down
here.
Let's be proactive, notreactive.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
And we need to get this receipt.

Here's some Advil from thestore.
That'll be $12.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
Put it on my tab.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
They treated it like it was that little island pool
bar you're swimming up to at aninclusive resort and there are
no rules.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
There are no rules here.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
I'm like no, there are definitely rules here.

You know you could do whateveryou wanted there.
Speaker 2 (09:14):

Speaker 3 (09:15):
Every now and then you'd see management walking
down the hallway.
Everybody shh.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
Sounds like a rodeo.
People are coming.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
That's assuming they would even notice that.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
That's your job, though, as the bartender.
No, I mean that they would Tonotice that someone's coming
down the hallway.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
I mean that the management would even have the
awareness to notice what's goingon there?
Speaker 3 (09:34):
You never had not going to name drop, but the tall
, skinny one just would creeparound the corner and I'm like,
I know you're 30 feet away, butI can see your butt ass.
You're not being sly, dude,what Also?
What do you want?
Bring me more sandwiches, bro.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
At least do something positive.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
But celebrities, athletes, all kinds of writers,
well-known people.
Once they start telling theirstory, you get a few drinks and
then you know, just you know.
One time I met somebody thatwas at the Oscars and she had
been nominated for an Oscar fora short film called my year of
(10:17):
dicks.
Oh, oh, I have to go watch itnow.
It's already saved on my phone.
I was like you were literally.

I was like you were literally.
She showed me pictures of herwith lady gaga channing katum.
She was nominated for an oscar.
She lost.
She was like I lost.
I was at the losers table, thelosers party, with everybody
else, like a lot of people loseat the oscars.
But yeah, she lived in texasand it was about her losing her
(10:37):
virginity while she was in texas.
Called my year of dicks, okay,and it's an animated short film
like 25 minutes.
I can't wait to watch it.
She worked on Milana, sheworked on all kinds of.
I was like you're legit.
Who, what, how have I neverheard of you?
And then Billy Gibbons sat downat my bar once that I almost
(10:57):
peed my pants.
I'm not going to lie.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
I have no clue.
Who's that?
Oh yeah, he's been at our barmany times.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
Yes, yes, yes, yes, that big beard, you can't miss
the hat that he wears and likehe had normal glasses on in
order to Bloody Mary with asplash of orange juice.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
He always got double kettle one Bloody Marys with me.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
Yeah, it was the Bloody Mary splash at OJ.
That kind of threw me, but I'mlike, whatever you want.
Everyone at the bar is kind oflike do I know him?
I'm like, no, shh, you don't.
This is my moment.
You're not going to ruin thisfor me.
Trying to play it cool, nottrying to be that asshole, and
as soon as I hand him his check,I'm like I'm a huge fan, really
.
Thank you so much.
What's your name?
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Just he put the sunglasses on the whole facade.
I died that day.
I was in heaven.
Every time he was at our bar,people would freak out and
there'd be people in the bar.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
You'd hear hey, is that the ZZ Talk?
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Hey, let me Google a photo real quick.
I think that's him.
Hey, let's go ask him.
Let's go see if his name'sBilly.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
I shut that whispering down real quick.
And then you know, our audienceat our bars typically would be
a little bit older, so they allknow him.
They're all going over thereand he's so nice, he was so nice
Everyone took photos with him.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
You're older, Chris.
How do you not know this guy?
Speaker 2 (12:15):
Well, I wouldn't know the name off the top.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
I would if I saw his face.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
I've never waited on him, and this was like the week
before Dusty passed away, so hewas going to a show in South
Dakota.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
Because you know, down that hallway I get those
weird small town slides.
That's about the only placeyou're going in our tournament
Going down that side of thetournament.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
You're getting South Dakota.
You're getting some hotel inTennessee I've never heard of.
I had to put the South.

For some people at the barAren't you lucky.
That's how slow it wasWilmington, north Carolina, that
I'm putting on the South DakotaState women's basketball game
on in the middle of the day,that's something I get butts in
seats.
Alright, south Dakota flight,let's go as long as it works.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
We're going to Peoria Illinois.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
Amy Adams came in one time.
That was still when everyonewas masked up.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
Okay, I recognize her immediately.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
Yeah, Lois Lane yeah.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
And you know, at the point you're supposed to ID
every single person that comesin the airport, whether they're
17 or 70.
So I don't care if you're 70.
You're showing me your ID.
You had to have it to get inhere.
Flash it at me Doesn't matter.
So she shows me her ID.
I was like I figured it was you, I'm such a huge fan.
She said thank you so much,Asked me what she should order
(13:33):
at the Shiner, since she was inTexas, or a gin and tonic.
And I was like, well, Shiner,duh, you're here in Texas.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
Yeah, gin and tonic.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
Right, you can get that afterwards.
She was with her daughterthough, so didn't want to make a
scene or a fuss, but she, sheput her hands in mine and was
like what's your name, lindsay?
Lindsay, I'm Amy, it's so niceto meet you, and she was just so
genuine about it.
I'm like thank you, lois Lane.
I feel so safe now, and Itexted, of course, my family as

goes Lindsay, don't you dareembarrass us in front of Lois
Lane, I'm going to need you toshut it.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
You're not here, anybody else cool.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
I know that I've run into a lot of athletes.
I don't know who they arebecause I don't fall sports, but
I can tell that they're massiverings, that they've won
championships Every now and then.
I'll try to Google them fromtheir cards.
Usually, for the most part,they're not nice.
They don't want the attention.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
Yeah, no doubt.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
They got that big ring on their finger.
But the minute that you say Isee that you played such and
such and they're like, yeah,cool, so you're not going to
take your sunglasses off or talkto me.
What can I get for you?
Oh, hard pass.
But yeah, most of the timeeveryone's super nice, super
chill.
Danny Trejo, that was anotherone.
(14:53):
Spencer was working one of myshifts.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
He had covered.
What's that Spencer wascovering for me?
Speaker 3 (14:59):
Yeah, I remember Spencer mentioning he met him
and he sent me pictures and I'mlike damn it, damn it, one time
I need a shift covered.
And apparently he was supernice.
He just had a coat.
He's a really nice guy.
Everyone recognized him.
You can't not recognize Danny.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
He just gave everyone autographs and pictures.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
I mean for the most part.
Everyone is always surprisedwhen I tell them about my
celebrity stories becausethey're like wouldn't they fly
private?
I'm like no man, they're justlike us.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
Not everybody has a private jet In these places.
There's one way to get to them.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
Even if you have a puddle jumper.
That's not making it for no,they fly commercial just like us
.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
It's not like Harrison Ford or John Travolta
and has their own airplanes andshit.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
Plus that's expensive .
We're not all Travis Kelsey andTaylor Swift.
We can't.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
Well, even a lot of people that do it run themselves
a bankrupt.
They can't afford to do it.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
So what's the point at that point?
Just fly commercial and dealwith your airport bartenders.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
That's it, just get in first class.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
Whatever, no problem.
Your airport bartenders andthat's it.
Just get in first class,whatever, no problem.
Go to the lounge if you don'twant to be around people, um, so
talk to us now about the winebar, you're in now.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
How's that going?
I love it there, love the factthat it's mostly business
travelers, so you know you don'tget the rowdy group.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
A lot of suits that come into that.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Blake, I know you've also worked in the wine bar.
People never get a littlesloshed.
It doesn't take a whole lot ofwine for some folks.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
I've had my fair share of.
I'm going to take this bottlefrom you.
You're going to be lucky.
I don't smash it over your headbecause we're in a federal
building and I don't want to getarrested and I would like to
get you safely to your gates.
Yeah, there was one time Iordered a $360 bottle of wine.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
One of the only ones that we had.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
It was on the shelf for a while Letting other people
try it.
He literally had one glass outof this and just turned into
this giant able where I couldn'tget him to sign his check.
His card got declined.
He tried another one.
He wanted to play that gamewith me where I don't want to
hand you the card.
Very sexual, harassing, veryjust cringy.
Maybe you can come by my yachtclub and shine my yacht for me
(17:19):
okay, if you can't pay thischeck, you're not going to be
able to afford me so are yougoing to give me a plane ticket?
Let's get past this let's speedthings along here it got to the
point where you know where I'mworking.
Now you have to.
I can't be as crass as I was atthis little satellite bar.
I can't drop the F-bomb as much.
I can't get my point across bycussing.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
I have to keep my composure.
It's much quieter in that barthan other places.
That will be her.
Speaker 3 (17:46):
Yeah, it's a different world for me, because
normally I like to speak my mind, I like to be a little rowdy
and loud, and I can't do thatthere.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
I like to be a little rowdy and loud and I can't do
that there, and also everyonethere's tab is at least $200.
Yeah, Even if they're there for30 minutes.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
They come in for a soup and a glass of wine, that's
a $55 check.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
They are paying, yeah , so you've got to be you know
Whether they want to or not.
Fine dining in that airport,which is hard to do.
I didn't realize this Cabernetwas $28.
Well, did you look at the menu?
Speaker 3 (18:15):
No, I just said, I wanted this good one.
Can you read?
Speaker 2 (18:19):
Well, you asked for it by name.
Speaker 3 (18:20):
I think I asked that at least once.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
No, I think maybe you should read it to me 100%.
Yeah, just the other day.
Speaker 3 (18:27):
What is this seared salmon salad?
What's a seared salmon salad?
I couldn't hide my noise.
I was like what do you mean Ifyou?
Speaker 1 (18:32):
don't know what it is .
It's like they come into ourrestaurant.
You can't afford it.
We've got 10 margaritas onthere.
We've got like 11 differentflavors what's in this margarita
?
And 47 different tequilas wecan make those with, and they're
like can I get a margarita?
I'm like I'll give you the bestdamn margarita.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
No, no, my favorite thing about the wine bar is as
soon as they walk in, becausewe're that first thing they see
when they walk in throughsecurity Can.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
I get a margarita.
Speaker 3 (19:02):
No keep walking.
We don't serve that here.
Go to Kiske get a Laredo.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
I'll just get a beer then.
That was my least favoritething at the wine bar.
Speaker 3 (19:12):
I'll just get a beer.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
Just go down there and get a beer.
You're not going to be happyhere.
The beer's going to cost more.
We only have three beers.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
We do have liquors now, but they're $75 for a nice
shot of scotch.
It's a good scotch.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
If you're going to do it, then just go all in and
turn it into a full bar.
Don't do that.
I'll just take a scotch ortequila on the rocks.
Okay, that'll be $150.
What you guys don't have, aqueer boat.
No.
Nobody wants that here, nobodywants that anywhere.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
Garbage person.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
Just go all in.
I would always be like, hey,you're not going to hurt my
feelings, just keep going, justkeep going, just keep walking
that way.
Speaker 3 (19:49):
Do you want a full bar?
But I saw you.
There's one right past thebookstore right past the
bathroom.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
I would always go.
Any other bar here has thatthey go.
What?
Yes, any bar but this one.
But this one, what I'll?
Speaker 3 (20:05):
just have a Miller Lite.
I did have a gentleman theother day yell at me about soups
.
All we had was tomato basil andhe was not happy with that.
I want something else.
Okay, I'm so sorry, like wedon't offer any other.
Well, what soups do you have?
And I'm like in the airportyeah, what soups do the airport
have?
He was so mad at me that Icould not tell him.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
I'm like.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
I don't know sir I don't work at those other places
.
And finally, after about fiveminutes of us going back and
forth, I told him he could getan information, kiox.
I just looked at him and saidno soup for you and I just went
about my business.
He probably didn't even get it.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
No, I don't care, though it was a victory for me
that was for me, that was notfor him um my other.
My other favorite thing therewas, yeah, any anywhere where
you sell salmon and then peoplealways come and go.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
I want that salmon.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
Well done.
Where are you getting salmon?

Speaker 3 (21:04):
How long do you have before your flight?
15 minutes Not going to happen.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
Yeah, I'd like a well-done salmon.
I've got seven and a halfminutes before I board to
Albuquerque.
Do you know what well-donemeans?
Speaker 1 (21:15):
No, I thought you had the mixed salmon on the menu.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
Do you have a microwave?
Speaker 3 (21:23):
here, don't tempt me.
I will do that one day.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
You can't put that on the George Foreman grill.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
I've got a Foreman in my bag, just hand it to me,
it's fine.
Speaker 3 (21:34):
I got it through security.
Don't ask questions.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
It's just a small electronic.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
With iron plates.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
Yeah, whatever what?

I just like to have bacon ready and fresh in the
water.
Michael, how did you smash yourfoot?
How did you grill your foot ina George Foreman?
Speaker 3 (22:03):

Seriously, that sounds likesomething you would do.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
Me.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
Yes, I just like to have fresh bacon in the water.
Speaker 3 (22:12):
You're vegan, but you don't eat bacon.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
No, I love bacon.
Who doesn't love bacon?
Speaker 2 (22:21):

Speaker 3 (22:35):
Bacon loves to have me eat it.
I thought you were goingsomewhere else with that.
No, I wasn't.
But I will say, I've seen twopeople naked Not fully naked.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
Back up.
Speaker 3 (22:51):
Not in my life.
At the airport and not at thesame time.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
Thanks for the clarification.
Speaker 3 (22:57):
There was one woman that came out of the bathroom At
the airport.
Oh, and not at the same time.
Thanks for the clarification.
Yeah, that's a good question.
There was one woman that cameout of the bathroom without her
pants on or underwear.
Her shoes were still on, so theprocess that this took.
Oh, she was shit hammered, hadto take off her shoes, to take
off her pants and underwear,then put her shoes back on.
That's where the logic was.
I need my shoes to get out ofthis bathroom.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
I don't need my pants or maybe she was wearing a
skirt and she went to thebathroom and then just stood up
out of it.
It was pants and just forgot topull it up.
Who does that?
Speaker 3 (23:23):
I don't know.
I was like that sounds easierthan the other one.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
Maybe she didn't want to get her feet on the dirty
airport bathroom floor.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
Explain to me why there are still no pants though,
pants though.
Did you shit your pants?
Yeah sure.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
I would rather go pantsless than shit.
Maybe go buy a hoodie.
Speaker 3 (23:40):
Ripe somebody to buy a hoodie, wrap it around you.
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
Go shit pants first across the hall, find something.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
I'm going pantsless.
That's less embarrassing thanshit pants to me.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
What are you doing?
Shitting your pants?
In the first place, there's apants bandit in the bathroom.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
My pants are gone in the bathroom.
My pants are gone.
I was changing clothes.
The pants bandit took them.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
Is that what we're?
Speaker 3 (24:02):
going with.
He's the pants bandit.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
I'm not at liberty to comment on that.
Speaker 3 (24:10):
There are worse things you can be.
We can never deny so.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
This episode's off the rails on.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
It's about you do.
Can you give more detail?
So the what we're going with isshe shit her pants.
That's why she came out withthe shoes on.
Speaker 3 (24:29):
So the the bar was right across from the bathroom,
so you know, half the time I'mgetting yelled at where's the
bathroom and I'm like right, soright there behind me, wait, so
explain.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
So there's a men's and a women's public bathroom,
and then there is a….
Speaker 3 (24:44):
Like a family bathroom yeah, handicapped
family bathroom that you can goin, where you can go in there
and change the baby, but they'reall right there.
You walk five feet and you'rethere.
You're in the bathroom.
You can hit it with yoursandwich that you bought Right.
I can throw the change.
Don't call my $14 sale Turn onmy receipt and hit the bathroom
(25:06):
door.
Where is it?
You know, people are mad.
They can't find the bathroom.
Once they do find it, then theycome out pantsless.
I'm like I didn't even say.
Cops come down.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
Of course this is one of the cops.
I'm like I didn't even Copscome down, but obviously
multiple times, because we'regetting to the next story
momentarily.
Speaker 3 (25:19):
What happened?
I'm like I don't know.
I didn't serve this woman.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
She didn't come from my bar.
Speaker 3 (25:23):
I don't know where she came from, crazy town, I
don't know.
Send her back.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
You'll have to review the film.
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (25:32):
She's got no socks on either.
This is very concerning.
Like you have shoes on, youhave pants on.
So not sandals, but shoes no,pants no socks, just shoes.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
And what age was this ?
Young lady, older lady Probably40s, 50s, oh well maybe her
medication kicked in.
Speaker 3 (25:51):
She wasn't 20.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (25:53):
So there's no.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
She wasn't hammered from someone's bar in the
airport.
Speaker 3 (25:58):
There's no telling she could have been.
She could have wandered downlike a homeless person looking
for a sandwich that we did nothave, and went to the bathroom
instead.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
Okay, it could have been the bar of pill jar, oh top
cocktail Uh pill jar.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
Uh, needless to say, she was taken away.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
Uh, needless to say, she was taken away.
Speaker 3 (26:20):
Yes, they're like nah , she's fine People wanted to
know if she'd been there.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
Put your pants on and get on your flight, lady.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
They're like there's no way she wasn't in here.
I don't know what to tell you?
Speaker 3 (26:28):
Do?
You know how many bars thereare in this place?
This is a big airport Can'tkeep up with everything Does she
have pills in her bag?
Speaker 1 (26:33):
check that first last time was.
Speaker 3 (26:37):
This guy fell out of his chair.
I'm giving him one drink.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
I'm drinking that the worst and he fell
Speaker 3 (26:44):
out of his chair and like, oh crap, he was huge too,
so like I had to get two othergrown men to help me to a chair,
give him a bottle of water, andthat's when I noticed the giant
knee brace.
I'm like, perfect, perfect,you're on pain pills.
You said okay, good, that's notthis isn't going to make me
look bad.
Cops come down.
What happened?
I'm like.
Obviously he's on pain pills,why'd you serve him?
(27:05):
I cause I don't look ateveryone's knees, nor can I see
them under the bar.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
And our job is to have a 30-second interaction and
make that judgment.
Speaker 3 (27:18):
Yeah, what do you want me to do?
I gave him the water, I gavehim one shot of whiskey and then
all of a sudden he can't standup.
He's 300 pounds.
I can handle more whiskey thanhim there you go.
They weren't happy.
They weren't happy about myattitude at that point.
Well, stop bugging me, Dan.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
It's spicy, so naked person number two.
Speaker 3 (27:44):
Oh, there were two different instances where one
woman thought that well, and shewasn't wrong, if I flash this
guy across the bar he will buyme shots.
She wasn't wrong, it happened.
This also isn't Bourbon Street.
I didn't know what to do.
I'm like, oh, I don't knowwhether to film it or to call
(28:06):
security at this point.
You can't do that in an airport.
And then another woman, I thinkshe was just older, she didn't
know airport.
And then another woman, I thinkshe was just older, she didn't
know she would have beencrocheting with beef jerky
sticks.
She was just her meds were offthe charts she didn't know.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
She was at the yeah, she didn't know.
Speaker 3 (28:23):
She was at the airport.
She came out with no shirt, abra and like a bra that covers
everything, because she's 70 andher jacket was like slipped
over her shoulder and I'm like,oh, oh, honey, no, no, we're
missing something.
Let me put the jacket on.
I don't.
Maybe a fashion statement Notwith a bra that big.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
And how much did you serve this young lady?
Speaker 3 (28:48):
Oh, I didn't see that person either.
I'm like am I a bathroomattendant or a bartender?
What is happening?
Speaker 1 (28:54):
You're getting very defensive right now.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
These people serve themselves.
Speaker 3 (28:59):
The girl that did flash the person was at my bar.
I did serve her.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
Oh, and the truth comes out.
Speaker 3 (29:05):
But sending a woman that came out so confused.
I'm like I didn't serve youanything.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
She was confused before she ever got there she
stays confused the younger girlthat flashed the guy.
Speaker 3 (29:16):
I can't be mad about it.
I mean I probably would havedone it in my 20s.
Yeah, I could have, but shejust kind of kept him out there.
I'm like, girl, put it down,you got your free shot.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
It's called a flash.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
It's not called a cover Again this is, this is
federal property, you guys, Stopit, at least make it quick.
Speaker 3 (29:34):
There are so many cameras.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
Again subtlety is the art of the airport.
Speaker 3 (29:38):
You just girls, gone wild yourself about, even
knowing it Now the whole.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
And how much?
Now all of South.
Speaker 3 (29:45):
Dakota knows what areola is like, I mean those
girls probably one shot, onedrink in and those you know, the
gentleman probably bought themaround, but we that was before
we got onto the two drink banwhere you can't serve anyone
more than two drinks.
I'm like you do realize that'sa little unrealistic if
someone's sitting here for fourhours A lot of our guests.
Speaker 2 (30:08):
That's 15.
Speaker 3 (30:09):
They cannot have no more than two drinks on their
check.
I'm like cool, you need toclose that up.
We need to start you anothercheck.
We need to find a way aroundthis.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
It does not work like that.
Speaker 2 (30:19):
You just said no more than two drinks on a check you
didn't say there was no,asterisk, you didn't say whilst
they were sitting here.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
You can have four drinks, two doubles.
Speaker 3 (30:29):
I think it was different down at that satellite
bar.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
Well, no, I'm not talking about.
I'm not talking about back then, I'm talking about now, it was
the loudest yeah and that's fair.
Speaker 3 (30:40):
Like, if you want to, you're, you are kind of at a
stainless resource.
Speaker 2 (30:44):
You got to pay for it .
Speaker 3 (30:45):
Go to the next bar if you want to have more drinks.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
Well, that's what I always tell people, even when
I'm like hey, you know even whenI.
Even if they haven't had thelimit.
I'm like you've met your limit.
Speaker 3 (30:54):
Here.
I'm like you're happy to trysomewhere else.
Speaker 2 (30:57):
I just can't give you anything.
You see that bar, that's 60feet away.
Look, you're happy to try yourluck somewhere else.
See that bar right behind youover your shoulder.
Speaker 3 (31:03):
This is just all we can do.
You've got to protect yourself.
You've got to protect your job,just keep going.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
This airport's bigger than Just keep going, you'll
find another place.
Speaker 3 (31:12):
The problem was after they'd hit all of your bars and
the other bars.
That's when they came down tomy satellite bar and went to
that bathroom and came outwithout their pants on.
Speaker 2 (31:22):
Oh really.
Speaker 3 (31:24):
Like cool, cool, cool cool.
I haven't served you, but I getto handle their mess.
Speaker 1 (31:32):
And I'm sure you handled quite a few messes from
the barbecue place as well.
Speaker 3 (31:36):
Oh yeah, yeah, we're right next to each other.
Then that hallway just funneledthem down to their gate.
Speaker 2 (31:40):
Then they actually have to go down to where the
dark tunnel, where their flightis yes, uh-oh.
Welcome to the dark side.
Speaker 3 (31:47):
Pismat, North Dakota.
Speaker 2 (31:48):
