Wasted Truth
Wolfie’s Mom Has Re-Entered The Group Chat
After two years away, the bitches are BACK, Jill and Nik are now recording at Nashville's Pearl Diver, armed with Fernet, champagne, and plenty of stories to share. Life has changed dramatically since you dummies last heard from your favorite raunchy industry veterans – Jill welcomed her son Wolfie into the world (yes, she literally worked a jewelry pop-up while in labor before heading to the hospital) while Nik claimed the title of "DAQ Queen of East Nashville" in a speed bartending competition that scored her both a giant novelty check and a new job.
Between sips of Champagne and shots from skull-shaped glasses, the pair catch us up on career shifts, memorable travels, and the unexpected ways their paths have converged despite life's curveballs. Their chemistry remains undeniable as they seamlessly bounce between heartfelt confessions about parenthood challenges and hilarious tales from behind the bar.
This revamped season brings exciting new features – not only can you now watch episodes with full video, but listeners can call or text the podcast hotline (347-WASTEDD) to share their own stories and potentially have them featured on future episodes. New segments like "Take a Shot or Take a Seat" test bartender resilience in nightmare scenarios, while a lightning round reveals their biggest goals for this season – including taking the show on the road to capture Nashville's ever-expanding bar scene.

I think I peaked when I was pregnant.

Speaker 1:Hell yeah, I was so hot dude, I understand why men have pregnancy fetishes.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, that's a total. I don't even know why I'm asking. Of course that's a fucking thing. There's a fetish for everything, baby. You right, you right.
Speaker 1:But yuck, I love being pregnant. I loved like wearing low-rise pants for the first time ever, I feel like, if I ever got pregnant, I would not be doing that.
Speaker 2:Oh girl, I had my belly out Really. Oh yeah, my love handles could never.
Speaker 1:Listen when you're. When I was pregnant for the very first time in my entire 33 years of life, I was not thinking about my body. I was like I look really good, I'm going to have my fucking pregnant belly out and nobody's going to falsely assume that I'm not pregnant.
Speaker 2:You got no. Did you get anybody at the bar when you were still bartending before you took your maternity leave? Like being like congratulations.
Speaker 1:And then you go, I'm not pregnant.
Speaker 2:And then you go I'm not pregnant, and then they feel really bad and tip extra Because that's what I would fucking do in a heartbeat.
Speaker 1:I said that I was going to do it, but I never. I didn't. But I was very surprised with the amount of people that would look at me and just say congratulations.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Not even think, not even ask. Not even ask yeah.
Speaker 2:Like just assume.
Speaker 1:But obviously I was like fucking eight months pregnant, just assume, but obviously I was like fucking eight months pregnant. My belly was out, but still, it's just even when I would be fully clothed, people would like be like, are you pregnant? And I'm like, god damn, no, I'm just fat, leave me alone.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I should have fucking said that no, because yeah, again, that's how you get those pity tips. Baby, make people feel bad for you well people I did get.
Speaker 1:I did get a lot of people tip obviously very well, and I I think I got a few hundred dollar tips a few $50 tips Shout out to our pregnant bartenders. Yeah, which I was listening back to our episode. I think I had just announced that I was pregnant and we were having a conversation of how we felt about pregnant bartenders and I'm like at the time I think I was just scared.
Speaker 2:And I was like I don't know, I don't think I like it, just trying, scared, yeah, and I was like I don't know, I don't think I like it, but just trying to reassure yourself, yeah, like it's still cool, but I mean you still have to work.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you're still a fucking human being. You got to support this other human being, yeah but I definitely like my no shame. Yeah, my mind's definitely changed on that. I think pregnant bartenders are awesome uh, bad asses, bad asses hell yeah, um, but yeah, so I. I worked until I was about eight months and then, towards the end, I was just getting pissed off and I was like I think it's my time.
Speaker 2:And you were still at OG right. That's a really tiny bar to bartend in even when you're not pregnant.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and I started to just I switched from bartending to serving, so I was serving, which, essentially, I would like the which essentially I would like the how the wells were set up. I would lean forward and I would have random bruises on my belly because it was yeah just yeah, Poking your poking wolf with a poor spouts. Yeah, with poor spouts Jabbing yeah so yeah, but for some reason we thought it would be better if I served and just ran around the floor on concrete.
Speaker 1:Like I was just fucking I was having if I served and just ran around the floor on concrete that makes sense.
Speaker 2:I was just fucking.
Speaker 1:I was having Braxton Hicks contractions.
Speaker 2:Oh, those like the false those are.
Speaker 1:yeah, those are ones like I guess I don't know when they start, but they just kind of happen and when they try to explain it to you like what it is, and I was just kind of like am I having these?

I mean, I really didn't even take that much fucking time off how long did you take off so after you had? Wolf. Technically so funny. This is a funny fucking story. So, as some of you guys know, if not, I have my own jewelry business.
Speaker 1:Um shameless plug shout out, shout out to my business partner, katie, love you, love you down. And then it's Wooden Wolf. And if you guys can see, when you guys watch our video, you can see that I have a shameless plug right now of wearing one of my charm necklaces. They're very, very cute, sexy and slay Anyways. Hell yeah, brother, the day that I went into labor, um, my water broke at like five o'clock in the morning. I was laying in bed which fun fact. Didn't know this. It's like a very low percentage of women that actually go into, uh, labor.
Speaker 2:their water breaks usually like that's such like a thing on like any tv show.
Speaker 1:It's all dramatic and shit. Yeah, yeah, no, I just like flooding a department store.
Speaker 1:I need to look up the percentage, but it's super low. It's like not normal. Yeah, it's more. You're so special, I am special. Actually, my birth was amazing. But I, my water broke and I'm like, okay. I go to the bathroom and like, look at her. She's like I was like my water broke and she was like, oh, my god, we have to go. I'm like chill bitch, I'm not having any time, I don't have any labor pains, but I didn't know what the I don't know. I didn't know what the fuck to do. I didn't have my like my bag, my hospital bag ready or anything. I was not prepared. You lazy bitch, yeah you fucking lazy whore.
Speaker 2:You procrastinating son of a whore.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but I called the hospital. I'm like, what should I do? And they're like are you having? Like, are you? Do you feel like you're having period or period?
Speaker 2:Period. Do you feel like you're having period? I am not okay, guys. I have been period currently. I love that for me. They were asking if I was having no baby in here.
Speaker 1:They were asking if I was having contractions, I was like no, and they're. Like, you're good, you just have to come in within the next 24 hours. I was like, all right, great, another. Another thing that I didn't know is whenever your water breaks, your body just continuously makes amniotic fluid and it just continuously just comes out of your body all day, all day anyways.
Speaker 1:So I'm going on a tangent again, but fun facts about birth. But the day that I went into labor I had a pop up at for my jewelry business and my labor. My water broke at five and then I went to one of my god damn, I think he just poured all the frenet.
Speaker 2:I dwebbled out of the bottle. That's illegal.
Speaker 1:I'm sorry um, it's my religion to waste alcohol.
Speaker 2:He's alive. How was your nap brenda um?
Speaker 1:anyways. So I went to one of my pop-ups and my girls were. I had two girls working it and I went to it and they're like how are you? I'm like I'm actually in labor right now. They're like they're like what the fuck are you doing here? I'm like it's cool. So then after that I was like all right, mom, cheesecake factory we're going. So we go to the cheesecake factory, okay, and I guess, like, once you go in the hospital, they don't feed you. You, you can't eat. Oh yeah, you won't eat until after you give birth, and who knows how long you're going to be in the hospital.
Speaker 2:That's how I gave me food.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so fucking, we go to the Cheesecake Factory and then, like I, didn't go to the hospital until like 11 pm that night.
Speaker 2:Damn.
Speaker 1:It was great, so oh so I worked up until I literally gave birth.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:And then I think I went back to the bar three months later. Two months later that's a quick turnaround. Yeah, it was. It was I felt. Yeah, it felt it felt weird. I felt like I was missing out. You're just getting FOMO.
Speaker 2:I just work.
Speaker 1:I fucking work so much.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Oh also, you're just not sleeping. You don't sleep because your kid doesn't sleep, so you feel like a fucking zombie.
Speaker 2:What's that meme of that woman that's banging the things together? You ain't go to sleep because of me. I didn't go to sleep because of y'all.
Speaker 1:Y'all ain't go to sleep because of me. That was your kid, that was Wolfie Banging fucking pots and pans everywhere, so about two-ish months. Pots and pans everywhere so about two-ish months. We're going to have Quint on, so, quint, we can talk more on this, but Quint ended up getting fucking fired from his job. But it was great because Quint literally worked. Quint was scheduled to work the night that I went to the hospital. Obviously, they let him go.
Speaker 2:They didn't fire him yet.
Speaker 1:They let him leave.
Speaker 2:Sorry, I'm having a child currently. You know what? Just go and don't come back yeah, don't ever come back um.
Speaker 1:But I don't even remember. Maybe, maybe two months later he ended up getting fired or whatever but he worked. I mean, I was basically by myself all the time because he had to work. Yeah, um, so it was a nice little, it was a nice way, it was a nice little like. Once he got fired I was like, okay, I'll go back to work and then you just stay home and be mr, mr mom. Yeah, so he got it.
Speaker 2:He got a nice little break to spend time with wolfie so it ended up being a blessing in disguise, like at the moment.
Speaker 1:It was just kind of crazy that it happened. But and then, with all that to be said, he got fired from there. And then, nikki, I texted you, uh, and asked you if you knew anywhere that was hiring, and the place that we currently are working at was just in the beginning stages of all of it and she was like actually you should text page, shout out to page, love you, um. And page was like yeah, we're opening up this pizzeria. She was like she like I think she said something're opening up this pizzeria. She was like she like I think she said something like a late night pizzeria. Vibe and quit was like whatever, I need a job, great. And that definitely was not the concept at all.
Speaker 2:Whatsoever. Was she lying? I think she was just maybe a little bit confused on what it was looking for, or what it was going to be, um, but or what it was going to be, but she was just like yo, I was like yo, she was like I fucking love you guys, I love Quint, hell yeah.
Speaker 1:And then it ended up now we work there and it's fucking awesome, that's great yeah, hell yeah so. I wasn't even planning on working there. And then I went out one night after work, me and Jen Shout out to Jen. Jenny from the block Went out one night, ran into Paige and Paige was like, hey man, do you also want to work here? And I was like actually, yeah, sure, in Jill and Quint fashion, of course, we're working at the same fucking spot again.

Speaker 2:So I I now know, uh, because like literally the second that I did it, I knew I didn't make stage, like my time was shit and I dropped my side cart. You dropped the whole drink. Yeah, I, I had to remake it my literal. My hands were shaking so bad?
Speaker 1:That's just on my anxiety. You think it was just because there were so many people that were competing and you were just like getting in your head how did you feel Because you did so well here at Pearl.
Speaker 2:I realized the one thing that I didn't do before competing for Speed Rack was rip a couple shots and that, like that, gets a little loose, yeah it just. And so I felt the same thing happening because, like it was literally about a month later that, uh, the daiquiri competition happened and I was like, oh, um, I think I know what I did wrong, let me see, because I was like starting to feel that way again, like before, uh, competing at the daiquiri competition, and I was like, let me, let me rip a shot, pound a beer and see how I feel. And I was immediately just like calmer and then I killed it well.
Speaker 2:So like, get a little loose, get a couple shots in you and you'll compete and be have a great time.
Speaker 1:Speaking of let's take a shot little shots.
Speaker 2:Look at these little. Aren't these the cutest?
Speaker 1:we have these, the shot glasses that we have for those of you that can't see us. They're little skulls yeah, they're little skulls, they're badass. Pearl has some really cool fucking glassware.
Speaker 2:Obviously we've got the pink cat yeah we like, launched our new menu a month or two ago and it's a oh my God, it's the biggest menu, but cheers menu but cheers, cheers.
Speaker 1:It's brutal, but we have a lot of new glassware out of it which is very cute. Oh my god, these things are fucking massive daddy. Oh my god, bitch, I wasn't expecting that. I was choked, as you do, as you take a minute. I was choked, you know what? If I do die, quinn's gonna make a lot of money off of my dead body.
Speaker 2:So that's morbid yeah, um but yeah, so I know now I definitely want to try to compete again.
Speaker 1:So question um for those that aren't really familiar with it. Um, you gave a little background on it, so do they tell you what cocktails you're gonna make beforehand, or you just completely surprised?
Speaker 2:so you are get for the first round, like you just have to apply online and like, send a video and do a lot of stuff, and then they pick you guys. Um, and then you're given six cocktails.
Speaker 1:Okay.
Speaker 2:That will be options for the first round. You don't know, and they're going to select four when you walk up.
Speaker 1:Oh, you don't know which ones they're going to be.
Speaker 2:And there's going to be, yeah, and you have. When you walk in, they tell you which four of the six that you have to make.
Speaker 1:And then you have two minutes to set up your well in preparation for those four drinks. Um, and then you go. What, what were the? What were?
Speaker 2:the six drinks they told you, and which four did you make? Uh, I had. So the options were oh god, I can't remember, sidecar, manhattan, cosmo, daiquiri, margarita something else I can't remember.
Speaker 1:Um, yeah, they're all. They were all like easy but it could totally like I can see it yeah.
Speaker 2:Like you know, three are shaken, one stirred usually, and then but like, yeah, you set everything up as best you can. Um, and I had it, my time was good. I was like, oh, but again. I and I went to go like grab the sidecar to shake it and then it just went.
Speaker 1:Well, you know, you got it in you. You won the fucking daiquiri competition.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I would feel a little more confident going into it because that was my first time competing in anything like that. And so I was like okay, like now that I have my wits about me and I'm more prepared going into it and like know what to expect. I think I'd do better next time.
Speaker 1:But we'll see.
Speaker 2:Regardless, it's a really fun event and, like the, it's like the kickoff party of tails.
Speaker 2:It's like the first night of tails is the speed rack competition, so it's like all the homies show up, it's so like really cool, like it's just like bad-ass women like getting together and just being very supportive and and it's cool to see, you know, like all these cool women bartenders like all together and like really awesome industry people popping their pussies, man, yeah, and you just like made friends out of it. That's cool. I got really close with two of the bartenders from pearl also competed and they both yeah both of them made it stage like pay and uh des.
Speaker 2:Both made it stage and des ended up winning it and going to the finals and tail at uh at tails. That's so fucking so it was really fucking cool and good for her and like obviously we'd known each other beforehand, but we never really like hung out like that.
Speaker 2:But yeah we were all practicing together so it was like got to hang out with them a lot more and we got closer. So it was extra cool that I had ended up getting a job and working here and getting to hang out with them more. So we're talking about going back to tails. This will be my third year going. I've never been and I really want to get Jill down there at least for a couple days. I think it'd be really fucking cool.
Speaker 1:I think I could pull it off. I just have to tell my mom.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I've got to ask my mom that's becoming a mom.
Speaker 1:You have to ask your mom before you do things, before you do things.
Speaker 2:Full circle. I gotta ask my mom yeah, okay, okay, jill.
Speaker 1:I need a babysitter. I think it would be a lot of fun and it would be great for us and some R&D baby.
Speaker 2:Yeah, what I love. I've talked about Tales before on this podcast, but it's such a fun, crazy week. It's hell week, but in the best way possible. I've never been just so drunk and yet had so much fun.
Speaker 1:Well, the last time, one of the last times you were there, you and mars facetimed me and I talked to you guys. That was the first time I ever went I was literally sitting at home with.
Speaker 2:I had just a newborn.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yes, yeah because wolfie was born in may and you guys is in june or july jill, it's in July, july, this bitch, literally.
Speaker 2:She answers the FaceTime, mars, and I shout out Mars, happy birthday.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, happy birthday.
Speaker 2:Mars. Mars and I were in the hotel room like taking a break, because it's like a bunch of day parties and then there's a bunch of night parties and so like you can't, hit all of them.
Speaker 1:It's a marathon, not a race.
Speaker 2:It is oh my God, in the worst way possible. It's the longest marathon you'll ever run. You're a poor liver, but we were in the hotel room taking a break, taking a shower, freshening up, before going out for the night and we FaceTimed you. And the first thing she does when she answers the fucking FaceTime she goes hey guys, look at my son's d***. Oh my God, did I? I think it was like straight up put your son's on the FaceTime and I was like I don't need to see this.
Speaker 1:I don't ever want to hear those words. Jesus Christ, someone's going to call fucking CPS on my ass. I was like, look at this little wiener, my God. I'm so sorry it was traumatizing my kid's going to listen to this one day and he's going to be like what the fuck?
Speaker 2:He's going to be like what the fuck?
Speaker 1:I mean, he was like fucking three weeks older than shit. Yeah, it didn't even look like it. Oh, my God, okay, we're done talking about it, but yeah, anyways.
Speaker 2:That was us at Tails for the first time, and then we only Maris and I only went for like three days the first year.
Speaker 1:And that was fun, thank you shot boy.
Speaker 2:And then the second year I ended the full week. Golly, it was a definitely a marathon but, like everybody was just like responding, because everybody else that went that was from nashville, uh, was gone after three or four days and they're like that was awful. It was like I hurt, like everything hurts I'm never doing this again.
Speaker 1:I'm getting too old for this.
Speaker 2:It is in july there it's hot and it like rains, so like don't even try to fix your hair just let it go.
Speaker 1:Yeah, just accept it for what it is. Yeah, um.
Speaker 2:But it was definitely just like I. I was like you know what, I'm gonna stick it through, I'm gonna do this, yeah, and my flight ended up getting canceled. I was only supposed to be there six days I think I remember seven days. Yeah, I think I remember when you said that your flight got canceled yeah, and so I was like fuck it, I'm staying the other day because there's like the send-off party is like the last thing, and that was. It's still crazy.
Speaker 1:And then yeah, Well, I think I can commit to like two nights, three days. Yeah, that's great. In and out. But I'm also like kind of I'm scared. I'm scared to fly. Yeah, I fly. Oh yeah, I'll talk about that.
Speaker 2:Yeah, fuck that. Um, speaking of uh quentin, I went to dc. Yeah, uh, I'm so jealous I've been trying to go shout out to washington dc dude.

Fuck me, I don't remember what it's called, it's green something I really, really liked it, it was lebanese not not enough to remember the name, yeah, the food was incredible there, and then our server was so sick.
Speaker 2:He was so cool, um, and it really make or break an experience it's like a really cool, like badass server yes, that's just like just a chill guy man and, like I feel like especially with us whenever we go out, we just kind of immediately give off the fact that we give off the industry vibes yeah, totally.
Speaker 1:So people feed off that and they're like oh like, let's hook these guys up yeah let's treat them like homies yeah, it's yeah, and that he really really made it um a much overall better experience. But it's so much fun going to different cities. I think it's called the green line. Do you want to google? It I think I will. Um, but they had this shot on the menu that was like. I don't remember what the base alcohol was in it, but it had tabasco sauce in it and it was like had like hot water in it. It was like a hot shot Ew that sounds gross.
Speaker 1:But I was because we were like we want to do a shot and he was like, oh, we've got like our house shot. It's like a Lebanese thing, whatever the shot was, and it was fucking Awful, but it was so fucking Like it was just great, because I'm like Hell, yeah, like when in fucking Rome, I'll fucking try their fucking shot. Whenever Quinn's on, he'll probably remember he has such a better memory than I do.
Speaker 2:What's the best shot you've ever had, like. What's your go-to Like if you're going to a restaurant or a bar and they're like, oh, this is our specialty shot and what's the worst shot you've ever had? Best shot I can tell you my favorite shot I've ever had and the worst shot I've ever had.

Speaker 1:I mean like they're somewhere.
Speaker 2:They're just misplaced. Probably the thing about for net obviously we love for net, but like the thing about the for net coins, things like I love the novelty of it and the do like for it, does like coin drops and shit and they'll like do events at bars and like like uh, people go bananas for it like I mean, did you work the one at uh, at the bar that they were doing it at?

It's like a novelty thing but seriously, like two to three hundred people showed up for that event to get their like, to get raffle tickets and to maybe win a coin. They were only giving away 50 coins yeah, like hundreds of people were there.
Speaker 1:Yeah, they flocked and every single thing. We I think Quentin and I have two coins and they were just given to us, so we didn't have to really do much for them.

Speaker 2:For somebody else, then they pour it for you I do it every.
Speaker 1:I've never poured my own sake. Why is?
Speaker 2:that a. Thing.
Speaker 1:Who told us that and why did we keep? I don't know. It has the same lore as, like you guys. If you guys know, you know whenever you were little and you're in the car and you turn the light on and your mom's and your parents are like you're going to, we're going to get pulled over and it's obviously like, not against the law but we all just listened to it.
Speaker 2:We're like, okay, I believed that and then we got older and we're I want to like look up some cool like alcohol lore.
Speaker 1:Yeah, oh.
Speaker 2:I like that. I'm adding that to the list of things that we could talk about next time Edit, edit, edit.
Speaker 1:Because we're like getting close to the end of our first episode, right, but we have a I want to do take a shot or take a seat, okay, a fun little segment, all right. So take a shot means you're going to suck it up and deal. No, no, no. Take a shot means you're going to suck it up and deal with it and then take a seat, as you're going to walk the fuck out and quit Heard.
Speaker 1:Okay, number one Okay, customer shits in the sink. Do you take a shot, grab some gloves or clock out immediately, and it's your job to clean it up. Okay.
Speaker 2:I and it's your job to clean it up. Okay, I have a couple of follow-up questions for that.
Speaker 1:I knew you were going to, I just I knew. Nikki wasn't going to just answer it Well, I'm a professional. Yeah, okay, what Go.
Speaker 2:Am I managing, or am I just the hourly employee? Well cause if I'm making 213 an hour and you think I'm going to clean that shit, up and you think I'm going to clean that literal shit up? You got another thing coming for you Bing bong.
Speaker 1:Yeah, Fuck your life, fuck your life. Do you really like your job? That's another one, because sometimes you're just like I mean, if someone shit in the sink at my current place of work and Also that is a feat to be able to just plop up To be also that is.
Speaker 2:that is a feat to be able to just plop up, to be like, coherent and sober enough to plop up onto a sink and shit into it and I and I, I guarantee what and it's happened before.
Speaker 1:What kind of shit is it?
Speaker 2:is it solid? What is? Is it like a quickie or is it like diarrhea? Damn, this is really going off the rails here, how many times are? Going to talk about shit on this episode. Oh my God, we love talking about poopy caca yeah.
Speaker 1:I know there's a lot of follow-up questions, but like, let's just say you were not manager Okay, it was obviously. If you could it's a our current jobs I would take a shot and grab some gloves. I would pick that turnip out of the toilet. You know how much shit that I've had to literally pick up since having a baby.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's a little different.
Speaker 1:My kid loves to shit in the fucking bathtub. I think that karma is coming after me. All the bad things that I've, oh that I've ever done in my life is just coming into my life as my kid shitting in the toilet or in the in the bathtub.
Speaker 2:He loves pooping in the bathtub oh cozy, yeah, I guess it feels warm.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so there's just been times where, like it's a little easier, I get them out and I just there's been times where it's just been a solid fucking log and I just literally pick it up and just throw it in the toilet, obviously wash my hands and then I have to wash the whole fucking whatever.
Speaker 2:But yeah, so I don't have an issue with it sucks, but I think I probably would too. It's like kind of the same thing as like picking up a dog, turd you know, Just like you know, just like gloves or something but like, but still only your trash.
Speaker 1:And if you shit in a sink I will come for you. If you shit in this ink, your mom's a fucking hoe put that on your put that on a t-shirt, your mama's okay.
Speaker 1:Okay, number two take a shot or take a seat. You just finished a brutal 12-hour shift and then the person that was supposed to come and relieve you calls out of their shift. Last minute. Your manager asks you to stay another eight hours and the night before you went out You're hungover, you're on zero sleep. Do you take a shot, suck it up, work eight more hours, or do you say fuck this, I'm leaving you, deal with it?
Speaker 2:I would take multiple shots and do it.
Speaker 1:There's so many and also I don't get hung over. So you and Quinn are like God's favorite.
Speaker 2:Yes, I am God's favorite, thank you.
Speaker 1:Well, God's not real.
Speaker 2:So yeah, I don't believe in you, but thank you God, so many people are going to be like fuck these girls. But yeah, I would still do it and I also like money.
Speaker 1:That's true.
Speaker 2:I mean, I feel like, and if it's been like a brutal of a shift. If it's been a brutal shift, then clearly it's been busy and I'm making money Period. I'll get those hours baby.

Speaker 2:I think so. That's awesome, impressive.
Speaker 1:It's super impressive and, with our schedules like how they were before, I'm just actually impressed that we were able to pull off that many fucking episodes, because we were like in the streets running around fucking balls to the wall.
Speaker 2:We're hooligans. We were fucking menaces, and then the universe said pregnant and I said okay, and now I'm still out here in the streets. No, but it's, it's, I don't know I feel and cold.
Speaker 1:I mean I've never, I've never like, wanted to be a mom, like I've not. Let me, let me, let me retract that statement. I've never been the person like you know people that are like my number one goal in life is to be a mom. Once I got pregnant, I was like wait a minute, it just happened.

Going back having my first bar shift back, I wasn't like, obviously we worked at, we worked the night shift. That's just what we are like we're night shift workers. I getting back into it and staying up that late and like brutal, brutal yeah, brutal, definitely.

Speaker 1:You know and you're like oh, I don't fucking. The one thing that I will, that I'm thankful for right now is the fact that where I work, there's no cocktails, and the cocktails that we do have are pre-batch, so I can tell people no, now that's my, that's the best experience for me personally.
Speaker 2:Can I have an espresso? No, you just pointed no, oh yeah.
