(02:49):
this um bar restaurant thatoverlooks the needle and it
overlooks the water and uh.
So I guess it's a pier bar orwhatever, but it was nothing but
outside sitting and fire pitsall over the place and so, and

down.
I had oysters for the firsttime there.
Yeah, nice, it was like amixology place.

Speaker 2 (03:24):
she took me back to her apartment and she told me
how much she to have to pay forthe house.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
Never mind, can't do it.
I don't know what kind of moneyI'll make out there.
Yeah, my girl lives downtown.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Yeah, so granted, she did you know she did live
downtown, like two miles awayfrom the neighborhood.
I can only imagine.

personality.
I'm like you have no experience.
Okay, you don't know anythingabout high volume service in the
airport.
You got the right personality.
(04:48):
You're about to learn the skill, so we took him on.
Speaker 2 (04:54):

this.
I didn't even get a haircut.

And look at me now, look at menow.
So tell us some stories aboutwhen you worked at the sports
bar.
What kind of celebrities wouldyou run into?
What kind of regulations didyou have?
Speaker 2 (05:59):
Terminal E was.
You know, terminal E at thatpoint was kind of like the
puddle jump yeah Terminal it.
That point was kind of like thepuddle jump yeah Terminal.
It was old and grungy.
They had just redone D, I think, at the time.
So D was like Terminal D wasthe hot new thing, not redone it
, built it, oh yeah, built ityeah.
So like Terminal E was just apuddle jump thing and I was like
(06:24):
, okay, well, you like so, yeah.

stocky, I get him walking in.
And varsity was set up kind oflike the sections were all
(06:45):
categorized in sports we talkedabout this last week with James.
Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, thetennis court and the hockey ring
yeah, those in the back, andthen football was kind of in the
front.
So this guy has his littlecarry-on and he's strolling too.
He has his hat down low,playing black hat down low, and
he strolls straight to the back,doesn't even talk to the host.
He doesn't even talk to thehost, doesn't talk to anybody,
Goes straight to the back andsits at the hockey ring platform
(07:09):
and I'm sitting there like man,all right.
So I go and introduce myself.
He doesn't look at me and heasked for a Diet Coke and I'm
just standing there waiting forhim to make eye contact, because
that's really awkward.
He looks up and it's Tony Romoand I'm sitting here like oh
shit you're tony roma and I sayit out loud, and he's like, yeah
(07:33):
, no.
And I'm like, oh, okay, okay,okay, I'll be right back.
Yeah, no, I was like.
I was like hey I'll close thesection for you.
Make sure no one gets your face.
I was like cool, so I close upthe section and I don't tell
anyone.
No one knows this at first,until I tell Joe and then Joe's
like what.
(07:53):
So I know exactly what heordered Diet Coke, chicken,
nachos.
That was what he got.
All the time he would he wouldhave been there, oh.
So when I bring him his food,he's on the phone.
He's on speaker.
Well, I see his phone and itsays Jessica.
Now, at this point he's datingJessica Simpson.
(08:14):
So I'm sitting here like oh myGod, is that Jessica Simpson?
And Tony's like Tony's giggling.
He's like yeah, I was all likeoh my God.
And he's like hey's giggling.
He's like, yeah, I was all likeoh my God.
And he's like hey, jessica, myserver, malcolm says hi.
Jessica's like hi, malcolm,take good care of him.
I'm sitting there like oh myGod, jessica Simpson's talking
to me.
That's crazy.
So, so, yeah, so I mean thatwas so, that was cool.
(08:36):
But ever since then, I thinkyeah, I think he's been in
varsity, probably Because Ididn't realize he would take a
puddle, jump to Little Rock andthen fly up to Wisconsin,
because I didn't know he wasfrom where he was.
Yeah, I didn't know he was aG-Zit.
Yeah, because he was stalkingthe shit.
So I was like, okay, so hewould come in there.
(08:58):
Quite often I think I saw Ihave waited on him four times so
, and At one point he would askfor me.
That was cool, you did an okayjob I did.
Alright, I kept his profile up.
But yeah, man, tony, I mean God, what's his name From Pantera?
Speaker 1 (09:22):
Blue Bear.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Benny Paul.
Benny Paul got uh, what's hisname?
From pantera.
Uh, we had done these balls ormany.
There's any call?
Yeah, benny paul.
Benny paul was a regular thereum, yeah, we got a few.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
We got a few in my house.
Yeah, yeah, then we're okay.
So I was talking to my brotherabout this last week and, uh,
darren woodson remember big althat worked there yeah, woodson
would come in and say Woody.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Okay, so funny story.
I have to jump ahead.
But whenever I worked atFriday's, I saw Woody walking
across Terminal B and I waswearing his jersey.
Now, the odds of me wearing hisjersey and seeing him walk past
that day slim.
So I'm like Woody and I justopened up my arms and I show him
the 28.
Now, granted, at the timesomeone else was 28.
(10:10):
I think DeMarco was there.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
No, no, no, no, I'm sorry, demarco was 29.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
Yeah, yeah, demarco was 29.
Someone else had 28.
And so, but then I turnedaround and I gave him the thumbs
and I was like yo.
He was all like, ah.
So he dropped his bag, cameover, asked the manager for a
Sharpie to sign it for him.
So I still have that jerseyframed up at my house and it
(10:34):
says to Malcolm.
And he's like, hey, my nephew'sname's Malcolm.
I'm like, oh, so that was it.
Can I be your nephew?
I could be your nephew for aday, sir.
So yeah, man, that was cool.
One of the all-time greatestpeople, not even just a player,
a badass player, but just people.
Man.
He is so friendly man, hisenergy was just like.
He's so humble.
(10:54):
You know that you can approachhim and say what's up, man?
He's going to be cool.
The fact that he just left hisbag right there and just walked
across and signed in and just Iwas like man, I really wish I
bought enough to get a picturewith him and stuff, but no, he
was really cool.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
One of the coolest people, the coolest groups I
waited on when I was at the ortook care of when I was at the
sports bar, was they had theywere doing Oz Fest and all the
members of Black Sabbath came inexcept for Ozzy Osbourne.
So this was before Ronnie JamesDio passed away.
(11:34):

I was like, yeah, it'sconnected to Terminal Seal.
She was like, okay, well, youwant to go have a drink at their

(17:33):
and there were no twins involved.
There were no twins involved.
She was solo, she was solo, andso we.

I'll bring it around.
She's like, okay, so, so shelets me know.
So I told her I'll meet her atthe front counter because she
hasn't checked in yet.
So I was like, okay, cool, so Igo back to Terminal D get my
bike.
So if you know anything aboutthe airport, there are specific
(18:14):
entrances and specific exits ofthe parking attached to the
terminal.
Well, Terminal D has convenientbreezeways that if you have a
small mobile vehicle you cankind of get through.
Well, I decided I'm going to becool and hop that breezeway and
get out of there and little didI know.
(18:35):
If the motorcycle fit, you must.
Yes, exactly, that's what.
That's what you know what Ithought I told that to the
officer, but you know what he'sblack.
You know, you know what.
I told that to the officer, butyou know what he's black.
He didn't find that too funny.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
You're a regular evil .
Speaker 2 (18:45):
Kenevo, it's not for me black too, I know, I know.
That's why I thought we had aconnection man.
I pulled around and there was acop right there.
I hooked that left.
There was a cop right there andhe got and jumped in front of
my drive.
They there and he got him.
He jumped in front of my drivein front.
(19:06):
They like jumped in front ofthe bike.
You couldn't even go, so I, soI couldn't.
I was like I was like, oh god,okay, can I go?
So I stopped and I noticed.
I noticed him and he was one ofthe cops that would patrol
terminal d, quite often on mycenter, like so he ends up.
He ends up saying like I, Ihave to take you in.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
And I was like, yeah, take me in For driving on the
sidewalk or something.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
So he takes me in for PI, apparently because he could
smell me.
But he was like you took me inas a PI.
Well, I didn't know.
This is when I learned how DFWat that time worked, how DFW.
Fun thing about DFW it coverstwo counties, four cities.
Depending on where you get introuble at is what precinct you
go to.
So because I was in Terminal D,I had to go to Great Bind and
(19:53):
so he's taking me to a jail.
I don't know about off-site andI'm sitting here like where am
I going?
And he takes me to Great Bind.
I don't get out until 9.30 thenext morning, but he let me park
my bike.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
He let me park my bike.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
Oh God, I felt so bad .
She left me three or fourvoicemails.
She still hasn't checked in.
Speaker 3 (20:18):
She was so pissed.
She's still waiting at thecounter to check in.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
She was so pissed I didn't even call her back.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
I was like man, opportunity missed on that one
Sheesh Big whiff of it Swing anda miss.
Oh my God, so Okay.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
But Tagine.
The weird thing about Tagine,though, is that because you had
the Irish, fuck, yeah.
Yeah, because we were inTerminal D right, it was the
international term Domestic andinternational right, so like you
just never knew what you weregoing, to get, oh yeah.
Like it was just all differentpeople from all walks of life,
(21:04):
vacation, work, foreigners.
I met a lot of coolinternational friends that I
still keep up with today onsocial media.
You know Australian people,british people, I mean really
really cool people, man.
Then you have the assholesthey're from everywhere.
But there's cool people, man,then you have the assholes
they're from everywhere butthere's cool people from
(21:26):
everywhere too.
Exactly, but some of the besttimes I think I was there.
For what?
Speaker 1 (21:35):
five years, six years ?
From what year to what yearsdid you work out there?
Speaker 2 (21:40):
god at the pub?
No, all together.
I was bartending there from 18To what years did you?
Speaker 1 (21:42):
work out there.
God At the game At the pub?
No, altogether, altogether.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
I was bartending there from 18.
So that was about 2006, 2007.
Up until two years ago, so2023?
.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
Yeah, yeah.
So I've been bartending off andon about it, so okay, you when
you worked for shenanigans aka.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
Fridays didn't you have a run-in when you were
leaving out Fridays with thatsame cop that we were just
talking about?
Speaker 2 (22:24):
Yes, yes, I did, actually.
So Fridays was kind of a weirdone because that one was a
stopgap.
I was young, dumb and desperate, so I took that job they have.
At that time they had a closedcircuit of bartenders where you
(22:44):
didn't get into the bar unlessyou had been there for 25 years.
Somebody died, yeah, orsomebody died so it's like you
know whatever.
So I worked.
I was one of the lead serversin cocktail there.
Man worked with a lot of coolpeople, but that time was like
it was a drunken studio, like Idon't like.
I really just don't remembermuch of that.
(23:05):
Time was like it was a drunkenstupor.
I really just don't remembermuch of that time.
I was living with a roommate atthe time.
It was okay money, but itwasn't a lot.
Funny story it was like a purgeof Fridays because a gang of us
all got fired for floatingdrinks.
So that was a pretty.
That was a pretty.
That was a pretty eventful time.
(23:25):
Sorry, sir, I couldn't do that.
No, it's funny because therewas like, legitimately I think,
there was like eight of usrunning this floating ring.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
It's horrible.
What do you?
Think was going to happen.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
Dude, we would all like plot, where we all plot
what sections we were in,because certain sections would
get cut early before others andthen whoever had section one
would be the lead server on theship.
He would know who's in it andwho's not.
We would all run each other'sfood.
It was a whole thing.
(24:00):
Now, granted me walking away,me being probably 23, 24.
Now, granted me walking away,me being probably 23, 24 at the
time.
Me walking away with shit $600,$700 shifts working as a server
.
It was pretty nice, but untilyou got to pay it back.
Until you got to pay it back.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
Yeah, that was good.
I think of that as a littleloan.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
Yeah.
Yeah, you know, just needed alittle help getting back on my
feet.
But yeah, I mean Fridays, butFridays was cool.
I still keep up with a lot ofpeople.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
So, but like I said, that same cop the same cop.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
I believe it was that .
Yeah, so it was that same copthat ended up.
That ended up.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
He almost booked me, so granted that same cop, but he
did escort you out of theterminal, correct, correct, no,
no, no.
Oh, that's incorrect.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
He he, he wanted he.
So there was.
I guess there's a thing, therewas an unruly.
So our host was probably thebest host on the planet.
His name is dennis.
Love you, dennis, uh, if you'relistening, but dennis, one of
the best hosts ever.
Well, I guess there wassomething kind of like going on
between him and a drunken guestthat we had to escort out.
(25:24):
Well, some things were said andassumed and accused of him.
Well, he had already goneBecause it was a volatile
situation, hostile situation.
He had already gone for thenight because it was a volatile
situation, hostile situation.
He had already gone for thenight.
(25:47):
Well, if someone tells you thatsomeone did something to you and
you just happen to fit adescription, and the description
is a big black guy, the firstbig black guy, you see, you're
probably going to talk to him.
So, and granted, dennis Dredds,from New Orleans, like nothing
like me, but the black guy,right.
(26:07):
So I get questioned by the cop,as far as, like, by two other
cops that are behind him.
So I'm sitting here, like whatdid I do?
And then they're questioningabout some things that the young
lady said that Dennis didSomething that has to do with
you know, putting her hands onher and all that kind of stuff.
And I'm just sitting here like,okay, first of all, that's not
(26:30):
me.
Second of all, that did nothappen.
They were ready.
They were ready to vote.
I'm like that did not happen.
And then I said did you, did you, is she still here?
And then they were like no, Ithink she's bored.
I was like well, like did you?
Did you see how inebriated shewas?
Because I think she poppedsomething while she was drinking
(26:51):
?
yeah, as they always drinkbefore they get on, because we
had, we had to, we had to cuther off.
She was unbelievable, she wasso.
People never like that.
And then Dennis, being the biglight dude he is as the host,
it's just kind of like man.
I'm like trying to defuse it.
What do you?
Speaker 1 (27:08):
mean you're cutting me off.
Where am I supposed to dream?
Speaker 2 (27:11):
And I'm sure he kind of had his hand on her elbow, on
her shoulder, trying to escorther out, trying to show her the
direction.
Yeah, there was no, but thethings that were coming out of
that cop's mouth were saying to,like I said that you push up
against the wall.
I'm sitting there like what so?
Speaker 3 (27:29):
we're going to take the inebriated guesswork of Russ
.

cigarette bag, please.
Speaker 2 (33:46):
I got to go.
I'll be back.
I now as horrible as a job assome of TSA does.
I now understand why they exist, because a lot of people don't
realize what you can and can'tdo there.
A lot of people are absolutelyclueless.
Speaker 3 (34:03):
People turn their brain off the second they go
through the game.
Check your bag.
Speaker 2 (34:07):
Check your brain.
It is wild, I will say.
There's so many people thathave flown through to see me
work over the years.
There have been so many peoplelike Chris and Mike that have
escorted in that just wanted towatch the game at my bar.
Speaker 3 (34:23):
Those people definitely had tickets.
Those were patriots, orpatriots as we call them.
This was also Statue ofLimitations to music.
Speaker 2 (34:37):
Thank you, yes, but no, cantina was great Hell.
That's where I met y'all.
Speaker 1 (34:43):
Actually, that's where I got my job.
That's not where you met me.
Well, no, that's where I met.
Speaker 2 (34:47):
Blake Shout out to Mr Chicken Beer himself.
Yeah, mr Chicken Beer himself.
Jeff, love you, buddy.
One of our regulars, he used toorder chicken beer.
Speaker 3 (34:59):
He used to drink Miller Lite until I said, Jeff
drinks grow up, and then I gavehim a taste of a little bit of
local buzz.
He never looked back.
Speaker 2 (35:07):
I can hear him now you got any chicken beer?
Speaker 3 (35:10):
He never learned the name of it.
I know Never did it, justhappened to have Rooster on the
logo.
Speaker 2 (35:14):
So it was known for chicken beer.
And for a year straight, everytime he'd come in there, he'd
either see me or you, blake, andhe just always tried to get us
to work more.
And I'm like I was the one thattook him to the buffet.
I was like, fine, let's try itout, we'll see what happens, why
not?
And now I'm here, still in theindustry that he brought me to.
(35:37):
I love it.
Speaker 3 (35:39):
The amount of jobs that are offered across the
airport over the years are huge,oh yeah.
Speaker 1 (35:44):
I must have got six, seven business cards.
This week.
Speaker 2 (35:46):
Dude.
Chris, you are the networkingking of the airport.
Speaker 1 (35:49):
Yeah, I'm just not the follow-through type of guy.
I like working, I like what Ido.
I love bartending man.
I don't know what else I woulddo really.
I mean, people want me to gosell RVs and all kinds of shit.
Speaker 3 (36:05):
I do love sales the bartending is fun but I think
it's just the sales and it'sjust the mentality you take and
just taking care of people andbeing friendly and just trying
to put a smile on people's faces, because traveling sucks.
Speaker 1 (36:17):
Traveling sucks, traveling sucks, and we're not
here to make it worse, we'rejust here to make it better.
That's it.
Speaker 2 (36:26):
I will say, for the people listening that actually
would consider doing it, I willsay that if you're sitting at a
bar at an airport, those areprobably some of the most
interesting and engaging peopleyou'll ever meet.
Speaker 1 (36:41):
At the same time, if you're sitting in an airport bar
, please don't over drink.
Speaker 2 (36:47):
Or pop a perk before you start drinking, for the love
of God, because we will.
We will cut you off and we will.
Dfw airport is one of thoseairports you don't want to get
arrested in.
I'll tell you that.
Speaker 1 (37:02):

those double doors or thosesliding doors at SeaTac was a
smell of weed.

We go to this dope-ass spotthat's like um, it's this, it's
(02:49):
this um bar restaurant thatoverlooks the needle and it
overlooks the water and uh.
So I guess it's a pier bar orwhatever, but it was nothing but
outside sitting and fire pitsall over the place and so, and
so my bags are sitting on thetrunk and I get there and we sit
down.
I had oysters for the firsttime there.
Yeah, nice, it was like amixology place.
So they had bomb-ass drinks andold-fashioned there.
(03:17):
And I was just sitting therelike man I could catch a vibe
out here.
I had to hang out on the pier.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
And then when?
Speaker 2 (03:24):
she took me back to her apartment and she told me
how much she to have to pay forthe house.
Speaker 1 (03:27):

downtown, like two miles awayfrom the neighborhood.
I can only imagine.
Speaker 1 (03:46):

(04:28):
He comes in for an interview.
I'm interviewing people.
I need more servers.
He comes in and he's just gotthis larger than life
personality.
I'm like you have no experience.
Okay, you don't know anythingabout high volume service in the
airport.
You got the right personality.
(04:48):
You're about to learn the skill, so we took him on.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
Next thing, I know he's bartending funny thing is
the first thing he says was likeyou couldn't get a haircut for
this.
I didn't even get a haircut.
I was like, hey, this dude'sget a haircut.
I was like, hey, this is reallybeing a wedding.
I was like, yeah.
But the funny thing is thatwhen we were coming in for the
interview.
There was a gang of us and theywere group interviewing us to
open up Tequila Ria.
(05:15):
Oh yeah, so technically I wassupposed to work at Tequila Ria,
but Chris worked some sort ofvoodoo.

Speaker 1 (05:36):
That was the start of it.
All Years later and severalrestaurants later, and look at

And look at me now, look at menow.
So tell us some stories aboutwhen you worked at the sports
bar.
What kind of celebrities wouldyou run into?
What kind of regulations didyou have?
Speaker 2 (05:59):
Terminal E was.
You know, terminal E at thatpoint was kind of like the
puddle jump yeah Terminal it.
That point was kind of like thepuddle jump yeah Terminal.
It was old and grungy.
They had just redone D, I think, at the time.
So D was like Terminal D wasthe hot new thing, not redone it
, built it, oh yeah, built ityeah.
So like Terminal E was just apuddle jump thing and I was like
(06:24):
, okay, well, you like so, yeah.

, okay, well, you know, I'mserving, I'm earning my stripes
and I get, I get a, I get thistall dude, he's tall and he's
stocky, I get him walking in.
And varsity was set up kind oflike the sections were all
(06:45):
categorized in sports we talkedabout this last week with James.
Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, thetennis court and the hockey ring
yeah, those in the back, andthen football was kind of in the
front.
So this guy has his littlecarry-on and he's strolling too.
He has his hat down low,playing black hat down low, and
he strolls straight to the back,doesn't even talk to the host.
He doesn't even talk to thehost, doesn't talk to anybody,
Goes straight to the back andsits at the hockey ring platform
(07:09):
and I'm sitting there like man,all right.
So I go and introduce myself.
He doesn't look at me and heasked for a Diet Coke and I'm
just standing there waiting forhim to make eye contact, because
that's really awkward.
He looks up and it's Tony Romoand I'm sitting here like oh

And I'm like, oh, okay, okay,okay, I'll be right back.
Yeah, no, I was like.
I was like hey I'll close thesection for you.
Make sure no one gets your face.
I was like cool, so I close upthe section and I don't tell
anyone.
No one knows this at first,until I tell Joe and then Joe's
like what.
(07:53):
So I know exactly what heordered Diet Coke, chicken,
nachos.
That was what he got.
All the time he would he wouldhave been there, oh.
So when I bring him his food,he's on the phone.
He's on speaker.

So, so, yeah, so I mean thatwas so, that was cool.
(08:36):
But ever since then, I thinkyeah, I think he's been in
varsity, probably Because Ididn't realize he would take a
puddle, jump to Little Rock andthen fly up to Wisconsin,
because I didn't know he wasfrom where he was.
Yeah, I didn't know he was aG-Zit.
Yeah, because he was stalkingthe shit.
So I was like, okay, so hewould come in there.
(08:58):
Quite often I think I saw Ihave waited on him four times so
, and At one point he would askfor me.
That was cool, you did an okayjob I did.

across Terminal B and I waswearing his jersey.
Now, the odds of me wearing hisjersey and seeing him walk past
that day slim.
So I'm like Woody and I justopened up my arms and I show him
the 28.
Now, granted, at the timesomeone else was 28.
(10:10):
I think DeMarco was there.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
No, no, no, no, I'm sorry, demarco was 29.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
Yeah, yeah, demarco was 29.
Someone else had 28.
And so, but then I turnedaround and I gave him the thumbs
and I was like yo.
He was all like, ah.
So he dropped his bag, cameover, asked the manager for a
Sharpie to sign it for him.
So I still have that jerseyframed up at my house and it
(10:34):
says to Malcolm.
And he's like, hey, my nephew'sname's Malcolm.
I'm like, oh, so that was it.
Can I be your nephew?
I could be your nephew for aday, sir.
So yeah, man, that was cool.
One of the all-time greatestpeople, not even just a player,
a badass player, but just people.
Man.
He is so friendly man, hisenergy was just like.
He's so humble.
(10:54):
You know that you can approachhim and say what's up, man?
He's going to be cool.
The fact that he just left hisbag right there and just walked
across and signed in and just Iwas like man, I really wish I
bought enough to get a picturewith him and stuff, but no, he
was really cool.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
One of the coolest people, the coolest groups I
waited on when I was at the ortook care of when I was at the
sports bar, was they had theywere doing Oz Fest and all the
members of Black Sabbath came inexcept for Ozzy Osbourne.

If you know anything about thegame, you know that it goes.
We're at the corner so you caneither go left, right or

What happened after that?
I don't know.
She found somebody, I'm sure.

I got way more questions.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
So tell us.
I want to hear about someincidents that happened with the
police.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
Oh yeah, dude, I've had a couple of them.
All of them have been on mymotorcycle.
So there's this girl at the pubthat had her flight canceled
and so she ended up closing thebar down with me and she was
like, hey, they gave me avoucher for the Hyatt.
(17:11):
Do you know what that is?
I was like, yeah, it'sconnected to Terminal Seal.
She was like, okay, well, youwant to go have a drink at their
bar?
And I'm like, yeah, sure, bet,not a foreign struggle.
So she goes down, she waits onme, so we hop on the sky link
and go over to terminal c andwe're chilling at the high bar
(17:33):
and there were no twins involved.
There were no twins involved.
She was solo, she was solo, andso we.
So we're having a couple drinksat the bar and it's just like,
okay, cool, I had a good vibe.
And she's like, hey, you wantto come back up to my room?
I'm like, well, yeah, duh.
So I'm like okay, yeah.
Speaker 3 (17:52):
So I'm like yeah sure why not.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
So I was like, hey, I'm going to go get my bike and
I'll bring it around.
She's like, okay, so, so shelets me know.
So I told her I'll meet her atthe front counter because she
hasn't checked in yet.
So I was like, okay, cool, so Igo back to Terminal D get my
bike.
So if you know anything aboutthe airport, there are specific
(18:14):
entrances and specific exits ofthe parking attached to the
terminal.
Well, Terminal D has convenientbreezeways that if you have a
small mobile vehicle you cankind of get through.
Well, I decided I'm going to becool and hop that breezeway and
get out of there and little didI know.
(18:35):
If the motorcycle fit, you must.
Yes, exactly, that's what.
That's what you know what Ithought I told that to the
officer, but you know what he'sblack.
You know, you know what.
I told that to the officer, butyou know what he's black.
He didn't find that too funny.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
You're a regular evil .
Speaker 2 (18:45):
Kenevo, it's not for me black too, I know, I know.
That's why I thought we had aconnection man.
I pulled around and there was acop right there.
I hooked that left.
There was a cop right there andhe got and jumped in front of
my drive.
They there and he got him.
He jumped in front of my drivein front.
(19:06):
They like jumped in front ofthe bike.
You couldn't even go, so I, soI couldn't.
I was like I was like, oh god,okay, can I go?
So I stopped and I noticed.
I noticed him and he was one ofthe cops that would patrol
terminal d, quite often on mycenter, like so he ends up.
He ends up saying like I, Ihave to take you in.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
And I was like, yeah, take me in For driving on the
sidewalk or something.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
So he takes me in for PI, apparently because he could
smell me.
But he was like you took me inas a PI.
Well, I didn't know.
This is when I learned how DFWat that time worked, how DFW.
Fun thing about DFW it coverstwo counties, four cities.
Depending on where you get introuble at is what precinct you
go to.
So because I was in Terminal D,I had to go to Great Bind and
(19:53):
so he's taking me to a jail.
I don't know about off-site andI'm sitting here like where am
I going?
And he takes me to Great Bind.
I don't get out until 9.30 thenext morning, but he let me park
my bike.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
He let me park my bike.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
Oh God, I felt so bad .
She left me three or fourvoicemails.
She still hasn't checked in.
Speaker 3 (20:18):
She was so pissed.
She's still waiting at thecounter to check in.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
She was so pissed I didn't even call her back.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
I was like man, opportunity missed on that one
Sheesh Big whiff of it Swing anda miss.
Oh my God, so Okay.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
But Tagine.
The weird thing about Tagine,though, is that because you had
the Irish, fuck, yeah.
Yeah, because we were inTerminal D right, it was the
international term Domestic andinternational right, so like you
just never knew what you weregoing, to get, oh yeah.
Like it was just all differentpeople from all walks of life,
(21:04):
vacation, work, foreigners.
I met a lot of coolinternational friends that I
still keep up with today onsocial media.
You know Australian people,british people, I mean really
really cool people, man.
Then you have the assholesthey're from everywhere.
But there's cool people, man,then you have the assholes
they're from everywhere butthere's cool people from
(21:26):
everywhere too.
Exactly, but some of the besttimes I think I was there.
For what?
Speaker 1 (21:35):
five years, six years ?
From what year to what yearsdid you work out there?
Speaker 2 (21:40):
god at the pub?
No, all together.
I was bartending there from 18To what years did you?
Speaker 1 (21:42):
work out there.
God At the game At the pub?
No, altogether, altogether.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
I was bartending there from 18.
So that was about 2006, 2007.
Up until two years ago, so2023?
.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
Yeah, yeah.
So I've been bartending off andon about it, so okay, you when
you worked for shenanigans aka.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
Fridays didn't you have a run-in when you were
leaving out Fridays with thatsame cop that we were just
talking about?
Speaker 2 (22:24):
Yes, yes, I did, actually.
So Fridays was kind of a weirdone because that one was a
stopgap.
I was young, dumb and desperate, so I took that job they have.
At that time they had a closedcircuit of bartenders where you
(22:44):
didn't get into the bar unlessyou had been there for 25 years.
Somebody died, yeah, orsomebody died so it's like you
know whatever.
So I worked.
I was one of the lead serversin cocktail there.
Man worked with a lot of coolpeople, but that time was like
it was a drunken studio, like Idon't like.
I really just don't remembermuch of that.
(23:05):
Time was like it was a drunkenstupor.
I really just don't remembermuch of that time.
I was living with a roommate atthe time.
It was okay money, but itwasn't a lot.
Funny story it was like a purgeof Fridays because a gang of us
all got fired for floatingdrinks.
So that was a pretty.
That was a pretty.
That was a pretty eventful time.
(23:25):
Sorry, sir, I couldn't do that.
No, it's funny because therewas like, legitimately I think,
there was like eight of usrunning this floating ring.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
It's horrible.
What do you?
Think was going to happen.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
Dude, we would all like plot, where we all plot
what sections we were in,because certain sections would
get cut early before others andthen whoever had section one
would be the lead server on theship.
He would know who's in it andwho's not.
We would all run each other'sfood.
It was a whole thing.
(24:00):
Now, granted me walking away,me being probably 23, 24.
Now, granted me walking away,me being probably 23, 24 at the
time.
Me walking away with shit $600,$700 shifts working as a server
.
It was pretty nice, but untilyou got to pay it back.
Until you got to pay it back.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
Yeah, that was good.
I think of that as a littleloan.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
Yeah.
Yeah, you know, just needed alittle help getting back on my
feet.
But yeah, I mean Fridays, butFridays was cool.
I still keep up with a lot ofpeople.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
So, but like I said, that same cop the same cop.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
I believe it was that .
Yeah, so it was that same copthat ended up.
That ended up.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
He almost booked me, so granted that same cop, but he
did escort you out of theterminal, correct, correct, no,
no, no.
Oh, that's incorrect.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
He he, he wanted he.
So there was.
I guess there's a thing, therewas an unruly.
So our host was probably thebest host on the planet.
His name is dennis.
Love you, dennis, uh, if you'relistening, but dennis, one of
the best hosts ever.
Well, I guess there wassomething kind of like going on
between him and a drunken guestthat we had to escort out.
(25:24):
Well, some things were said andassumed and accused of him.
Well, he had already goneBecause it was a volatile
situation, hostile situation.
He had already gone for thenight because it was a volatile
situation, hostile situation.
He had already gone for thenight.
(25:47):
Well, if someone tells you thatsomeone did something to you and
you just happen to fit adescription, and the description
is a big black guy, the firstbig black guy, you see, you're
probably going to talk to him.
So, and granted, dennis Dredds,from New Orleans, like nothing
like me, but the black guy,right.
(26:07):
So I get questioned by the cop,as far as, like, by two other
cops that are behind him.
So I'm sitting here, like whatdid I do?
And then they're questioningabout some things that the young
lady said that Dennis didSomething that has to do with
you know, putting her hands onher and all that kind of stuff.
And I'm just sitting here like,okay, first of all, that's not
(26:30):
me.
Second of all, that did nothappen.
They were ready.
They were ready to vote.
I'm like that did not happen.
And then I said did you, did you, is she still here?
And then they were like no, Ithink she's bored.
I was like well, like did you?
Did you see how inebriated shewas?
Because I think she poppedsomething while she was drinking
(26:51):
?
yeah, as they always drinkbefore they get on, because we
had, we had to, we had to cuther off.
She was unbelievable, she wasso.
People never like that.
And then Dennis, being the biglight dude he is as the host,
it's just kind of like man.
I'm like trying to defuse it.
What do you?
Speaker 1 (27:08):
mean you're cutting me off.
Where am I supposed to dream?
Speaker 2 (27:11):
And I'm sure he kind of had his hand on her elbow, on
her shoulder, trying to escorther out, trying to show her the
direction.
Yeah, there was no, but thethings that were coming out of
that cop's mouth were saying to,like I said that you push up
against the wall.
I'm sitting there like what so?
Speaker 3 (27:29):
we're going to take the inebriated guesswork of Russ
.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
I'm just kind of like you think I'd still have a
badge.
Speaker 3 (27:36):
You think that's what I would have?
By the way, there's only amillion.
Yeah, I was like let's take alook.

Just open some things , at least put this in my empty
cigarette bag, please.
Speaker 2 (33:46):
I got to go.
I'll be back.
I now as horrible as a job assome of TSA does.
I now understand why they exist, because a lot of people don't
realize what you can and can'tdo there.
A lot of people are absolutelyclueless.
Speaker 3 (34:03):
People turn their brain off the second they go
through the game.
Check your bag.
Speaker 2 (34:07):
Check your brain.
It is wild, I will say.
There's so many people thathave flown through to see me
work over the years.
There have been so many peoplelike Chris and Mike that have
escorted in that just wanted towatch the game at my bar.
Speaker 3 (34:23):
Those people definitely had tickets.
Those were patriots, orpatriots as we call them.
This was also Statue ofLimitations to music.
Speaker 2 (34:37):
Thank you, yes, but no, cantina was great Hell.
That's where I met y'all.
Speaker 1 (34:43):
Actually, that's where I got my job.
That's not where you met me.
Well, no, that's where I met.
Speaker 2 (34:47):
Blake Shout out to Mr Chicken Beer himself.
Yeah, mr Chicken Beer himself.
Jeff, love you, buddy.
One of our regulars, he used toorder chicken beer.
Speaker 3 (34:59):
He used to drink Miller Lite until I said, Jeff
drinks grow up, and then I gavehim a taste of a little bit of
local buzz.
He never looked back.
Speaker 2 (35:07):
I can hear him now you got any chicken beer?
Speaker 3 (35:10):
He never learned the name of it.
I know Never did it, justhappened to have Rooster on the
logo.
Speaker 2 (35:14):
So it was known for chicken beer.
And for a year straight, everytime he'd come in there, he'd
either see me or you, blake, andhe just always tried to get us
to work more.
And I'm like I was the one thattook him to the buffet.
I was like, fine, let's try itout, we'll see what happens, why
not?
And now I'm here, still in theindustry that he brought me to.
(35:37):
I love it.
Speaker 3 (35:39):
The amount of jobs that are offered across the
airport over the years are huge,oh yeah.
Speaker 1 (35:44):
I must have got six, seven business cards.
This week.
Speaker 2 (35:46):
Dude.
Chris, you are the networkingking of the airport.
Speaker 1 (35:49):
Yeah, I'm just not the follow-through type of guy.
I like working, I like what Ido.
I love bartending man.
I don't know what else I woulddo really.
I mean, people want me to gosell RVs and all kinds of shit.
Speaker 3 (36:05):
I do love sales the bartending is fun but I think
it's just the sales and it'sjust the mentality you take and
just taking care of people andbeing friendly and just trying
to put a smile on people's faces, because traveling sucks.
Speaker 1 (36:17):
Traveling sucks, traveling sucks, and we're not
here to make it worse, we'rejust here to make it better.
That's it.
Speaker 2 (36:26):
I will say, for the people listening that actually
would consider doing it, I willsay that if you're sitting at a
bar at an airport, those areprobably some of the most
interesting and engaging peopleyou'll ever meet.
Speaker 1 (36:41):
At the same time, if you're sitting in an airport bar
, please don't over drink.
Speaker 2 (36:47):
Or pop a perk before you start drinking, for the love
of God, because we will.
We will cut you off and we will.
Dfw airport is one of thoseairports you don't want to get
arrested in.
I'll tell you that.
Speaker 1 (37:02):

disclose what airport in thelast three episodes.
