1
00:00:01,134 --> 00:00:03,603
Is it easy or is it harder
than you actually thought?
2
00:00:06,072 --> 00:00:07,474
Narrator: For over 30 years,
3
00:00:07,474 --> 00:00:09,476
Jon Taffer has traveled
the country,
4
00:00:09,476 --> 00:00:13,446
saving hundreds of bars
from failure and ruin.
5
00:00:13,446 --> 00:00:15,448
The past few years
have been harder
6
00:00:15,448 --> 00:00:18,518
on our country
that I've ever seen before.
7
00:00:18,518 --> 00:00:20,820
But now,
in a post-pandemic world,
8
00:00:20,820 --> 00:00:24,491
restaurants and bars are seeing
a massive surge in business...
9
00:00:24,491 --> 00:00:26,393
[laughter]
10
00:00:26,393 --> 00:00:29,229
...and a customer base
that has a much
11
00:00:29,229 --> 00:00:32,232
higher expectation
for quality food and drinks.
12
00:00:32,232 --> 00:00:33,566
I'm not a huge fan of this.
13
00:00:33,566 --> 00:00:35,769
So I'm on a mission
to save bars
14
00:00:35,769 --> 00:00:37,771
that had been struggling
to keep up
15
00:00:37,771 --> 00:00:39,706
with the new landscape
of our industry.
16
00:00:39,706 --> 00:00:41,207
[cheers and applause]
17
00:00:41,207 --> 00:00:42,876
Narrator: So, now, Jon is back
18
00:00:42,876 --> 00:00:45,345
out on the road
and heading to Nampa, Idaho
19
00:00:45,345 --> 00:00:47,213
to rescue Firehouse Sports Pub.
20
00:00:49,149 --> 00:00:51,351
This is a new era
for our country,
21
00:00:51,351 --> 00:00:53,119
so we need to raise the bar
22
00:00:53,119 --> 00:00:55,121
and rise to these challenges.
23
00:00:56,856 --> 00:01:00,193
[upbeat music]
24
00:01:00,193 --> 00:01:01,861
Narrator: In 2008,
25
00:01:01,861 --> 00:01:04,664
former electrical technician,
Dave Olsen,
26
00:01:04,664 --> 00:01:06,566
used his retirement savings
27
00:01:06,566 --> 00:01:08,535
to open Firehouse Sports Pub.
28
00:01:08,535 --> 00:01:10,837
I knew that my job
was going overseas.
29
00:01:10,837 --> 00:01:15,241
I thought, "Hey, there's a lot
of money in the bar business."
30
00:01:15,241 --> 00:01:18,311
The Firehouse name came
from my brother and friends.
31
00:01:18,311 --> 00:01:20,447
My little brother's
a fireman currently.
32
00:01:20,447 --> 00:01:23,349
There's actually some
older antique stuff
33
00:01:23,349 --> 00:01:25,585
that have been donated to us,
so that's kind of really cool.
34
00:01:25,585 --> 00:01:27,921
Firemen are absolutely
incredible people.
35
00:01:27,921 --> 00:01:29,789
You can't get any
better people than that.
36
00:01:29,789 --> 00:01:31,925
So I pulled a report
and it looked like
37
00:01:31,925 --> 00:01:34,928
24% down for the month.
38
00:01:34,928 --> 00:01:36,830
Owning a bar is way different
39
00:01:36,830 --> 00:01:38,698
than being
an electrical technician.
40
00:01:38,698 --> 00:01:42,335
I thought there was gonna be
millions of dollars in the bar.
41
00:01:42,335 --> 00:01:44,471
Boy, was I very disappointed.
42
00:01:44,471 --> 00:01:46,940
Narrator: Dave's lack of
knowledge of the bar business
43
00:01:46,940 --> 00:01:48,775
was immediately apparent.
44
00:01:48,775 --> 00:01:51,511
The Firehouse
has never made any money
45
00:01:51,511 --> 00:01:54,514
and so I had to go back
into construction
46
00:01:54,514 --> 00:01:57,383
to make sure that I could keep
the lights turned on here.
47
00:01:57,383 --> 00:01:59,719
Narrator: Because of Dave's
time away from the bar,
48
00:01:59,719 --> 00:02:02,789
his staff went untrained
and struggled
49
00:02:02,789 --> 00:02:04,891
to maintain a consistent
bar program.
50
00:02:04,891 --> 00:02:08,528
In the management role,
I don't get a lot of direction,
51
00:02:08,528 --> 00:02:10,630
so I just kind of roll with it.
52
00:02:10,630 --> 00:02:14,434
Dave makes my job challenging
in a lot of ways.
53
00:02:14,434 --> 00:02:15,969
Make sure
you're locking the doors.
54
00:02:15,969 --> 00:02:20,273
Holy crap.
I can't reiterate that enough.
55
00:02:20,273 --> 00:02:22,876
This is a joke of a lock.
56
00:02:22,876 --> 00:02:25,578
Narrator: And Dave's choice
in interior decoration
57
00:02:25,578 --> 00:02:27,947
did little to attract
any new customers.
58
00:02:27,947 --> 00:02:29,883
We just cannot have some random
59
00:02:29,883 --> 00:02:32,685
firehouse memorabilia
hanging on the walls.
60
00:02:32,685 --> 00:02:36,356
I think Firehouse
has a lot of potential.
61
00:02:36,356 --> 00:02:38,424
It doesn't have a niche yet
62
00:02:38,424 --> 00:02:40,460
and I think
that's what's missing.
63
00:02:40,460 --> 00:02:43,229
We have like no one
that comes in here anymore
64
00:02:43,229 --> 00:02:45,331
besides the regulars.
65
00:02:45,331 --> 00:02:49,569
Some firefighters come in
but not as much as they used to.
66
00:02:49,569 --> 00:02:52,872
Narrator: A series of health
problems and personal losses
67
00:02:52,872 --> 00:02:56,543
further the decline of
both Dave and his business.
68
00:02:56,543 --> 00:02:59,746
I was depressed
and I had to step away.
69
00:02:59,746 --> 00:03:01,714
Dave wasn't doing very well.
70
00:03:01,714 --> 00:03:04,684
Besides that, there were some
family things that happened.
71
00:03:04,684 --> 00:03:06,719
I lost my dad to cancer.
72
00:03:09,656 --> 00:03:11,925
Narrator: Now,
Firehouse Sports Pub
73
00:03:11,925 --> 00:03:14,627
is losing over $3,000 a month,
74
00:03:14,627 --> 00:03:18,565
with Dave sinking
into $300,000 worth of debt.
75
00:03:18,565 --> 00:03:20,633
We need to get our numbers up.
Yeah.
76
00:03:20,633 --> 00:03:22,735
You put your heart and soul
into something and it fails,
77
00:03:22,735 --> 00:03:24,571
that's not a good feeling.
78
00:03:24,571 --> 00:03:26,739
Narrator: With just two months
left before closing,
79
00:03:26,739 --> 00:03:29,509
Dave has decided
to pull back the doors,
80
00:03:29,509 --> 00:03:32,512
bust open the books,
and make a call for help
81
00:03:32,512 --> 00:03:33,980
to "Bar Rescue."
82
00:03:33,980 --> 00:03:35,748
It's to the point,
we're at a crossroads.
83
00:03:37,817 --> 00:03:38,885
Something has to change.
84
00:03:51,707 --> 00:03:53,309
So here we are, buddy.
85
00:03:53,309 --> 00:03:56,279
This is the
Firehouse Sports Bar.
86
00:03:56,279 --> 00:03:57,814
Right now,
we're about a half hour
87
00:03:57,814 --> 00:03:59,415
out of downtown Boise.
88
00:03:59,415 --> 00:04:00,950
When you look at a bar like this
89
00:04:00,950 --> 00:04:04,854
and you hear firehouse,
they got pools.
90
00:04:04,854 --> 00:04:06,756
-Is there anything there...
-There's nothing there
91
00:04:06,756 --> 00:04:08,324
-that says it.
-Not one piece at the bar?
92
00:04:08,324 --> 00:04:09,492
At all.
93
00:04:09,492 --> 00:04:10,726
Narrator: For the bar,
94
00:04:10,726 --> 00:04:12,595
Jon brings in Derrick Turner,
95
00:04:12,595 --> 00:04:14,664
a mixologist from
New York City,
96
00:04:14,664 --> 00:04:18,000
who's named a top 10 bartender
by Timeout Magazine.
97
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,803
Derrick has worked
with both craft spirit brands
98
00:04:20,803 --> 00:04:23,506
and major breweries
across the country.
99
00:04:23,506 --> 00:04:25,474
You know,
I did a rescue years ago
100
00:04:25,474 --> 00:04:28,511
in Sunnyside, New York, Queens,
Jack's Firehouse.
101
00:04:28,511 --> 00:04:30,580
And when you do a bar
and you name it
102
00:04:30,580 --> 00:04:32,515
-after a firehouse...
-That's something.
103
00:04:32,515 --> 00:04:33,883
-...you better be respectful...
-Yeah.
104
00:04:33,883 --> 00:04:34,884
...in the way you do it.
105
00:04:34,884 --> 00:04:37,687
Oh, my God!
106
00:04:37,687 --> 00:04:40,857
Oh, my God!
107
00:04:40,857 --> 00:04:42,625
Oh, my God.
108
00:04:42,625 --> 00:04:44,994
Look at that! Oh!
109
00:04:44,994 --> 00:04:46,362
Looks incredible.
110
00:04:46,362 --> 00:04:47,763
When we did Jack's Firehouse,
111
00:04:47,763 --> 00:04:50,433
every wall was about respecting
112
00:04:50,433 --> 00:04:51,801
the job that they did.
113
00:04:51,801 --> 00:04:53,402
-None of that is here.
-No.
114
00:04:53,402 --> 00:04:55,438
So there's Dave.
115
00:04:55,438 --> 00:04:56,772
Dave's the owner.
116
00:04:56,772 --> 00:04:58,307
You were tasting it.
117
00:04:58,307 --> 00:04:59,876
I wasn't tasting it.
I was tricking you.
118
00:04:59,876 --> 00:05:02,511
Dave actually bought
this building
119
00:05:02,511 --> 00:05:05,414
and has lost
almost $300,000 since.
120
00:05:05,414 --> 00:05:07,583
So that's a lot of investment
just down the drain.
121
00:05:07,583 --> 00:05:08,885
But here's the kicker.
122
00:05:08,885 --> 00:05:10,453
His father and his sister
123
00:05:10,453 --> 00:05:12,622
-both just died of cancer.
-Oh.
124
00:05:12,622 --> 00:05:14,991
A couple years ago,
he got sick himself.
125
00:05:14,991 --> 00:05:16,559
-Wow.
-So the guy
126
00:05:16,559 --> 00:05:17,994
is stressed to the max.
127
00:05:17,994 --> 00:05:19,962
He's worried about his health
and his future.
128
00:05:19,962 --> 00:05:21,864
His wife, Victoria,
129
00:05:21,864 --> 00:05:24,367
-she's worried about that.
-Yeah, naturally.
130
00:05:24,367 --> 00:05:27,570
The bar and their lives
all seem to be unraveling.
131
00:05:27,570 --> 00:05:29,939
And that stress
will eat you up easily.
132
00:05:29,939 --> 00:05:32,341
You got a really cool boss.
I know the guy.
133
00:05:32,341 --> 00:05:33,943
Yeah. M'Lisa's awesome.
134
00:05:33,943 --> 00:05:36,012
M'Lisa? Oh. [chuckles]
135
00:05:36,012 --> 00:05:37,813
There's M'Lisa.
136
00:05:37,813 --> 00:05:41,651
She's a bartender and
a manager.
137
00:05:41,651 --> 00:05:45,321
Now, M'Lisa feels
that Dave doesn't trust her.
138
00:05:45,321 --> 00:05:47,857
If there's an issue there,
we gotta sort it out together.
139
00:05:47,857 --> 00:05:49,091
There's Heather.
140
00:05:49,091 --> 00:05:51,093
-She's a bartender.
-Yup.
141
00:05:51,093 --> 00:05:52,561
And there is Linda.
142
00:05:52,561 --> 00:05:53,996
Linda's the bookkeeper.
143
00:05:53,996 --> 00:05:55,665
She's been here
for many, many years.
144
00:05:55,665 --> 00:05:57,066
Now, I mean, I just want you
to look at this guy
145
00:05:57,066 --> 00:05:59,936
and you tell me if this is a man
dressed for success.
146
00:05:59,936 --> 00:06:02,905
He's wearing a brown t-shirt,
147
00:06:02,905 --> 00:06:06,909
gray-blue camouflage shorts,
and cowboy boot.
148
00:06:06,909 --> 00:06:08,978
Look at this guy.
149
00:06:08,978 --> 00:06:11,380
Let's listen to Dave
for a couple seconds.
150
00:06:11,380 --> 00:06:13,549
[crowd chatter]
151
00:06:13,549 --> 00:06:15,718
Sweet. Now who's gonna buy
the next round?
152
00:06:15,718 --> 00:06:17,954
-You?
-Oh. No, it's tomorrow.
153
00:06:17,954 --> 00:06:20,523
I already told you tomorrow.
154
00:06:20,523 --> 00:06:22,625
Okay. He's hospitable and nice.
155
00:06:22,625 --> 00:06:24,627
Good intentions,
but he doesn't seem quite sure
156
00:06:24,627 --> 00:06:26,829
about anything, right?
157
00:06:26,829 --> 00:06:31,534
So for recon tonight, I got
us two firehouse captains.
158
00:06:31,534 --> 00:06:33,002
Oh, that's big.
159
00:06:33,002 --> 00:06:35,604
So Frank runs
the local firehouse.
160
00:06:35,604 --> 00:06:37,974
He's the captain. He's been
doing it for over 20 years.
161
00:06:37,974 --> 00:06:41,911
And Anne is the first
female captain in Idaho.
162
00:06:41,911 --> 00:06:45,481
So I can't wait to see
what Anne and Frank think
163
00:06:45,481 --> 00:06:47,984
as fire captains
when they walk into this bar.
164
00:06:47,984 --> 00:06:51,053
Narrator: Jon's spies
at their Firehouse Sports Pub,
165
00:06:51,053 --> 00:06:54,757
a four-thousand-square-foot
space with six pool tables,
166
00:06:54,757 --> 00:06:57,126
a short straight bar
with a single well,
167
00:06:57,126 --> 00:07:00,162
and a cold storage area
behind the back wall.
168
00:07:00,162 --> 00:07:01,897
What can I get started
for you guys?
169
00:07:01,897 --> 00:07:04,000
Could I have
a Hawaiian steam tower?
170
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:05,701
-Yeah.
-Thank you.
171
00:07:05,701 --> 00:07:07,536
Do you guys make a paloma?
172
00:07:07,536 --> 00:07:08,838
Yeah. I can do a paloma.
173
00:07:08,838 --> 00:07:10,006
That'd be awesome.
Thank you very much.
174
00:07:11,941 --> 00:07:13,976
Oh, so she's doing
fresh juice right there.
175
00:07:13,976 --> 00:07:15,611
She doesn't have it premade.
176
00:07:15,611 --> 00:07:17,613
Okay. So, at least,
they have some orientation
177
00:07:17,613 --> 00:07:18,981
-to quality.
-Some--exactly.
178
00:07:31,093 --> 00:07:32,828
Some new faces?
179
00:07:32,828 --> 00:07:34,630
-Yeah.
-You look like a fireman.
180
00:07:34,630 --> 00:07:35,731
I am a fireman.
181
00:07:35,731 --> 00:07:37,566
-[chuckles]
-Yeah, I am.
182
00:07:37,566 --> 00:07:39,135
-Dave Olsen. How's it going?
-Hi. Frank Beauvais.
183
00:07:39,135 --> 00:07:41,470
-Nice to meet you.
-Fireman from local?
184
00:07:41,470 --> 00:07:42,938
Yes, sir. I'm a Nampa fireman.
185
00:07:42,938 --> 00:07:44,106
Yeah, you know Rick Badillo?
186
00:07:44,106 --> 00:07:45,741
I know Rick really well, yeah.
187
00:07:45,741 --> 00:07:46,976
He's one of my
very good buddies.
188
00:07:46,976 --> 00:07:49,845
So Dave knows
a bunch of firemen.
189
00:07:49,845 --> 00:07:52,515
His brother was a fireman
who passed away.
190
00:07:52,515 --> 00:07:55,084
So that's how he got connected
to firehouse theme.
191
00:07:55,084 --> 00:07:57,820
-Yeah.
-So he wants to respect them,
192
00:07:57,820 --> 00:07:59,755
but look at this place.
He's just not doing it.
193
00:07:59,755 --> 00:08:01,157
-He can't.
-She's actually a captain
194
00:08:01,157 --> 00:08:02,725
with Nampa Fire Department
as well.
195
00:08:02,725 --> 00:08:03,859
-Yeah. We're both...
-Really?
196
00:08:03,859 --> 00:08:04,927
Yeah. We're both captains there.
197
00:08:04,927 --> 00:08:06,629
-Yeah.
-Oh. Oh. Yeah.
198
00:08:06,629 --> 00:08:08,230
So she's the first female
captain on the department, so...
199
00:08:08,230 --> 00:08:10,633
-Oh, good job.
-Here we go.
200
00:08:12,635 --> 00:08:16,539
-He does not like that drink.
-Yeah. That's tough.
201
00:08:16,539 --> 00:08:17,807
Look at that.
202
00:08:19,642 --> 00:08:21,944
Almost seems like
there's too much alcohol almost.
203
00:08:21,944 --> 00:08:23,779
-Mojito would have been better.
-Yeah. Yeah.
204
00:08:23,779 --> 00:08:26,048
Right blend of everything
would be good.
205
00:08:26,048 --> 00:08:27,583
Okay. So here's what we know.
206
00:08:27,583 --> 00:08:29,185
Firehouse doesn't look
like a firehouse.
207
00:08:29,185 --> 00:08:31,153
Our owner looks
like a clown, right?
208
00:08:31,153 --> 00:08:34,090
The bartenders have some
mixology desire...
209
00:08:34,090 --> 00:08:35,658
-Yes.
-...but there's no training
210
00:08:35,658 --> 00:08:38,127
or drink menu
to execute anything.
211
00:08:38,127 --> 00:08:39,662
-For sure. For sure.
-So Dave
212
00:08:39,662 --> 00:08:41,230
-is not running this place...
-No.
213
00:08:41,230 --> 00:08:42,865
...with any kind
of efficiency at all.
214
00:08:42,865 --> 00:08:44,000
And I think about
Frank and Anne sitting here,
215
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:45,034
And I think about
Frank and Anne sitting here,
216
00:08:45,034 --> 00:08:48,838
I wanna know what those drinks
taste like, so I'm gonna go in.
217
00:08:48,838 --> 00:08:51,740
I'm gonna put
like a dog collar on you.
218
00:08:51,740 --> 00:08:53,609
It's gonna be... [makes sound]
219
00:08:57,646 --> 00:09:00,182
Holy moly.
220
00:09:00,182 --> 00:09:01,717
-Hi, Dave.
-Hello, sir.
221
00:09:01,717 --> 00:09:02,952
-How are you?
-Good. Nice to meet you.
222
00:09:02,952 --> 00:09:04,286
Very. It's a pleasure.
223
00:09:04,286 --> 00:09:05,888
I wanna talk to my friends
for a second.
224
00:09:05,888 --> 00:09:07,523
-You wanna join us?
-Absolutely. Yes, sir.
225
00:09:07,523 --> 00:09:08,757
Hey.
226
00:09:08,757 --> 00:09:09,925
So I saw you all
were just talking.
227
00:09:09,925 --> 00:09:11,227
Yes, sir.
228
00:09:11,227 --> 00:09:12,728
What did you think
when you walked in?
229
00:09:12,728 --> 00:09:14,663
It doesn't feel
like a firemen's bar.
230
00:09:14,663 --> 00:09:16,699
A firemen's bar--I see stuff
from my department
231
00:09:16,699 --> 00:09:18,601
or from local department,
so it'd make it feel like,
232
00:09:18,601 --> 00:09:20,002
"Oh, this is where my boys go."
233
00:09:20,002 --> 00:09:21,604
If you guys came,
234
00:09:21,604 --> 00:09:23,172
EMTs would start to come too,
wouldn't they?
235
00:09:23,172 --> 00:09:24,974
Yeah. Oh, there are--
yeah, they're...
236
00:09:24,974 --> 00:09:26,308
Police would start to come too,
wouldn't they?
237
00:09:26,308 --> 00:09:27,943
And a whole community
would come to life
238
00:09:27,943 --> 00:09:29,712
because we're connected.
239
00:09:29,712 --> 00:09:31,547
So how about that?
240
00:09:31,547 --> 00:09:34,250
I saw the look on your face
when you took the sip.
241
00:09:34,250 --> 00:09:36,652
-Um, yeah.
-It, it was not a great drink.
242
00:09:36,652 --> 00:09:38,487
-So we got a problem, don't we?
Yeah.
243
00:09:40,222 --> 00:09:42,291
Would you guys
come back in a few days
244
00:09:42,291 --> 00:09:44,059
after Dave and I
get our work done
245
00:09:44,059 --> 00:09:45,661
and tell us what you think
of the place then?
246
00:09:45,661 --> 00:09:46,695
-Sure. Yeah.
-We'd love to, yeah.
247
00:09:46,695 --> 00:09:48,030
Thank you. Appreciate it.
248
00:09:48,030 --> 00:09:49,665
Let's go talk, buddy.
249
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:52,668
So you moved here how long ago?
250
00:09:52,668 --> 00:09:54,036
Five years ago.
251
00:09:54,036 --> 00:09:56,906
Did you ever make money
once you got here?
252
00:09:56,906 --> 00:09:58,307
The hesitation
sort of says it all.
253
00:09:58,307 --> 00:09:59,808
-Not much, right?
-Right.
254
00:09:59,808 --> 00:10:01,210
Was the other bar
nicer than this one?
255
00:10:01,210 --> 00:10:02,778
-No.
-Was it better themed
256
00:10:02,778 --> 00:10:04,280
-than this one?
-Yes.
257
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:06,048
A lot of the firemen
that went there
258
00:10:06,048 --> 00:10:08,217
are retiring now
and so I don't know
259
00:10:08,217 --> 00:10:09,818
how to bring them back.
260
00:10:09,818 --> 00:10:11,220
Oh, you think
this is gonna bring them back?
261
00:10:13,088 --> 00:10:14,990
You've had some health issues
in your family.
262
00:10:14,990 --> 00:10:16,659
How are you?
263
00:10:16,659 --> 00:10:18,194
This is difficult.
264
00:10:18,194 --> 00:10:21,030
Do you have the energy
to fight for this with me now?
265
00:10:21,030 --> 00:10:22,364
I gave everything I got.
266
00:10:22,364 --> 00:10:24,733
I, I can't keep going
seven days a week.
267
00:10:24,733 --> 00:10:26,302
I need your help.
268
00:10:26,302 --> 00:10:28,304
Is this financial pressure
impacting your marriage too?
269
00:10:28,304 --> 00:10:30,639
Absolutely.
I don't know what to do anymore.
270
00:10:30,639 --> 00:10:31,974
I'm, I'm, I'm lost.
271
00:10:31,974 --> 00:10:34,109
I need to tell you
something that I said
272
00:10:34,109 --> 00:10:36,712
when I was watching you in recon
273
00:10:36,712 --> 00:10:38,214
and I saw you walk
out of the kitchen
274
00:10:38,214 --> 00:10:42,651
with a brown t-shirt,
gray camo cut-off shorts,
275
00:10:42,651 --> 00:10:46,021
and those boots,
and the first thought I had
276
00:10:46,021 --> 00:10:48,257
was if I put
a cowboy hat on you,
277
00:10:48,257 --> 00:10:50,226
you look like
a freaking rodeo clown.
278
00:10:52,061 --> 00:10:54,096
Your life is on the line.
279
00:10:54,096 --> 00:10:55,864
This is your future.
280
00:10:55,864 --> 00:10:58,000
You are the image of this place.
281
00:10:58,000 --> 00:10:59,368
Look at you.
282
00:10:59,368 --> 00:11:01,270
Am I being unreasonable?
283
00:11:03,138 --> 00:11:04,306
Victoria?
284
00:11:04,306 --> 00:11:05,741
Excuse me.
285
00:11:05,741 --> 00:11:07,076
-Nice to meet you.
-Pleasure.
286
00:11:07,076 --> 00:11:09,245
Look at your beautiful wife.
287
00:11:09,245 --> 00:11:11,680
Look at the beautiful outfit
that she's wearing.
288
00:11:11,680 --> 00:11:13,916
Now, this guy's life
is on the line.
289
00:11:13,916 --> 00:11:15,818
He's $300,000 in debt
290
00:11:15,818 --> 00:11:17,820
and look at how
he comes to work.
291
00:11:17,820 --> 00:11:19,955
He looks like
a freaking rodeo clown.
292
00:11:23,893 --> 00:11:25,795
He's $300,000 in debt
293
00:11:25,795 --> 00:11:27,797
and look at how
he comes to work.
294
00:11:27,797 --> 00:11:29,966
He looks like
a freaking rodeo clown.
295
00:11:29,966 --> 00:11:31,834
In Idaho, this is how we dress.
296
00:11:31,834 --> 00:11:33,869
Nobody at this bar
is dressed that way.
297
00:11:33,869 --> 00:11:36,405
And this isn't a farm barn,
it's firehouse.
298
00:11:36,405 --> 00:11:39,408
That is not the look
of somebody who woke up today
299
00:11:39,408 --> 00:11:40,876
and gave a shit.
300
00:11:40,876 --> 00:11:42,812
I wanna see a guy tomorrow
301
00:11:42,812 --> 00:11:45,715
who woke up in the morning
and gives a shit.
302
00:11:49,285 --> 00:11:51,020
I do give a shit, Jon.
303
00:11:51,020 --> 00:11:52,989
Then show me
'cause this doesn't show me.
304
00:11:52,989 --> 00:11:54,657
I need to give it more respect.
305
00:11:54,657 --> 00:11:56,726
I'll dress for success.
I understand what you're saying.
306
00:11:56,726 --> 00:11:57,927
Yeah?
I don't think you're a clown.
307
00:11:57,927 --> 00:11:59,228
I think you're a good guy.
308
00:11:59,228 --> 00:12:00,896
But you're a good guy
in a tough spot.
309
00:12:00,896 --> 00:12:02,365
So I gotta jolt you
a little buddy.
310
00:12:02,365 --> 00:12:05,301
I gotta get some fire
in that belly again.
311
00:12:05,301 --> 00:12:07,737
In a firehouse, we need fire
to keep us all going.
312
00:12:07,737 --> 00:12:09,305
And I can do it.
313
00:12:09,305 --> 00:12:11,407
Okay. We got a lot of work
to do tomorrow.
314
00:12:11,407 --> 00:12:12,675
I'll see you tomorrow.
315
00:12:14,710 --> 00:12:16,879
I don't think
I look like a clown.
316
00:12:16,879 --> 00:12:19,315
This is how I've dressed
all my life.
317
00:12:19,315 --> 00:12:21,384
I'll make adjustments,
but I don't wanna change
318
00:12:21,384 --> 00:12:23,019
who I am ultimately, you know?
319
00:12:23,019 --> 00:12:26,355
I don't wanna become
somebody I'm not.
320
00:12:26,355 --> 00:12:28,958
I don't appreciate
that he called me a clown.
321
00:12:28,958 --> 00:12:32,161
No, look,
you're taking it personally.
322
00:12:32,161 --> 00:12:34,263
You know how hard
I've worked on this.
323
00:12:34,263 --> 00:12:36,799
I've given it everything
that I have.
324
00:12:36,799 --> 00:12:38,267
He wasn't calling you a clown
325
00:12:38,267 --> 00:12:40,302
and you just said it,
dress for success.
326
00:12:40,302 --> 00:12:42,004
You are the face of the bar.
327
00:12:42,004 --> 00:12:43,806
He's saying you need to look it.
328
00:12:43,806 --> 00:12:45,708
Well, he definitely
make me look bad.
329
00:12:45,708 --> 00:12:47,076
I made you look bad?
330
00:12:47,076 --> 00:12:49,879
I think you make
yourself look bad.
331
00:12:49,879 --> 00:12:52,381
Don't accuse me
of making you look bad
332
00:12:54,083 --> 00:12:56,252
because I could've said
a whole lot more.
333
00:12:56,252 --> 00:12:58,721
Tonight was a failure.
334
00:12:58,721 --> 00:13:01,223
A lot of things were pointed out
that needed to change.
335
00:13:01,223 --> 00:13:03,826
I heard what Jon said
and I think he was right.
336
00:13:03,826 --> 00:13:05,494
I don't know
what's gonna happen with Dave,
337
00:13:05,494 --> 00:13:07,863
if he's gonna be able
to handle the criticism
338
00:13:07,863 --> 00:13:10,132
and how he's gonna react,
how he's gonna feel
339
00:13:10,132 --> 00:13:11,767
about everything.
340
00:13:11,767 --> 00:13:13,235
Doesn't matter
what anybody thinks.
341
00:13:13,235 --> 00:13:15,037
-I like it, so...
-[laughter]
342
00:13:15,037 --> 00:13:16,338
We're here for you, buddy.
343
00:13:16,338 --> 00:13:17,773
You're gonna be who you are
344
00:13:17,773 --> 00:13:19,475
and that's who I'm gonna be,
right?
345
00:13:19,475 --> 00:13:21,977
Plain, plain and simple.
346
00:13:23,913 --> 00:13:27,917
[dramatic music]
347
00:13:31,454 --> 00:13:33,456
Are you okay?
348
00:13:33,456 --> 00:13:37,093
I don't know. I thought
Jon was a little harsh.
349
00:13:37,093 --> 00:13:40,162
Jon Taffer's a dick.
No doubt about it.
350
00:13:40,162 --> 00:13:41,731
I was not okay last night.
351
00:13:42,865 --> 00:13:44,400
He pissed me off.
352
00:13:45,901 --> 00:13:48,104
He said my attire
looked like a clown.
353
00:13:48,104 --> 00:13:50,906
I put a lot of time in here
to keep it clean and nice,
354
00:13:50,906 --> 00:13:53,442
and we don't have rats
and we don't have cockroaches.
355
00:13:53,442 --> 00:13:56,345
Those are kind of fighting words
where I come from.
356
00:13:56,345 --> 00:13:59,215
Well, I'd honestly say
we're probably not in an area
357
00:13:59,215 --> 00:14:01,851
where cockroaches
are too prevalent.
358
00:14:01,851 --> 00:14:03,185
And, you know,
359
00:14:03,185 --> 00:14:05,287
any other situation,
we would throw down.
360
00:14:05,287 --> 00:14:08,958
I don't--I don't--I don't put up
with that crap.
361
00:14:08,958 --> 00:14:11,293
I don't know. I think Jon
brought up some good points
362
00:14:11,293 --> 00:14:15,264
and some things
that you needed to hear.
363
00:14:16,232 --> 00:14:17,366
That's awful.
364
00:14:17,366 --> 00:14:19,902
No, I, I, I kind of agree.
365
00:14:19,902 --> 00:14:22,071
-Yeah. There's something...
-You could piss off too.
366
00:14:24,039 --> 00:14:25,574
Last night, looking at Dave,
367
00:14:25,574 --> 00:14:27,476
I saw what seemed
to be a nice guy.
368
00:14:27,476 --> 00:14:29,445
Everybody seems to like him.
369
00:14:29,445 --> 00:14:32,148
-Dave.
-Good to see you.
370
00:14:32,148 --> 00:14:34,049
But there's no leadership.
371
00:14:34,049 --> 00:14:36,051
So today,
I wanna talk to the team.
372
00:14:36,051 --> 00:14:38,254
I wanna find out
what would cause Dave
373
00:14:38,254 --> 00:14:42,424
to be physically present
but so mentally unpresent?
374
00:14:42,424 --> 00:14:44,260
-Hi.
-all: Hi.
375
00:14:44,260 --> 00:14:45,961
-And what's your name?
-I'm Aubrie.
376
00:14:45,961 --> 00:14:47,296
-I'm the bartender.
-Hey, Aubrie.
377
00:14:47,296 --> 00:14:48,364
And how long
have you been here, Aubrie?
378
00:14:48,364 --> 00:14:49,598
Just under a year.
379
00:14:49,598 --> 00:14:51,066
-What's your name?
-I'm Heather.
380
00:14:51,066 --> 00:14:52,368
-I'm a bartender.
-Heather?
381
00:14:52,368 --> 00:14:53,469
And how long
you've been here, Heather?
382
00:14:53,469 --> 00:14:54,470
-Two years.
-And how long
383
00:14:54,470 --> 00:14:55,838
have you been here?
384
00:14:55,838 --> 00:14:57,940
I've been with Dave since 2013.
385
00:14:57,940 --> 00:14:59,441
So nine years?
386
00:14:59,441 --> 00:15:01,177
Yeah. As a bookkeeper.
387
00:15:01,177 --> 00:15:02,978
Did you notice there's less
and less money to count?
388
00:15:02,978 --> 00:15:04,180
Uh-hmm.
389
00:15:05,614 --> 00:15:07,149
-Hi.
-M'Lisa.
390
00:15:07,149 --> 00:15:08,884
M'Lisa? And what do you do here?
391
00:15:08,884 --> 00:15:11,153
-I'm the manager.
-You're the manager?
392
00:15:11,153 --> 00:15:13,155
M'Lisa, why are we failing?
393
00:15:13,155 --> 00:15:14,590
You don't really know
this is a bar,
394
00:15:14,590 --> 00:15:16,258
looking at it, for one.
395
00:15:16,258 --> 00:15:18,160
We don't have
any advertisement outside.
396
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:19,929
Our signs don't work.
397
00:15:19,929 --> 00:15:22,364
Boy, $300,000 would've put
one hell of a sign.
398
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:27,903
I want you to understand
the gravity of the situation.
399
00:15:27,903 --> 00:15:32,074
They're in debt $300,000
because of this bar.
400
00:15:32,074 --> 00:15:34,076
So if I wasn't here, Dave,
what would happen
401
00:15:34,076 --> 00:15:35,311
in about two months?
402
00:15:36,879 --> 00:15:38,113
We'd hope we'd win the lottery.
403
00:15:39,215 --> 00:15:40,916
Oh, come on. If I wasn't here,
404
00:15:40,916 --> 00:15:42,351
what would happen
in two to three months?
405
00:15:42,351 --> 00:15:43,886
-We'd shut the doors.
-You'd shut the doors.
406
00:15:43,886 --> 00:15:46,956
And, Victoria,
is your house on the line?
407
00:15:46,956 --> 00:15:49,058
Oh, everything
would have to be sold.
408
00:15:49,058 --> 00:15:50,960
Everything?
409
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:52,528
So this is do or die?
410
00:15:52,528 --> 00:15:54,230
It is.
411
00:15:54,230 --> 00:15:57,166
Is this bar
threatening your marriage?
412
00:15:57,166 --> 00:15:59,468
-It's very stressful.
-So not making it better?
413
00:15:59,468 --> 00:16:01,136
Not making it better at all.
414
00:16:01,136 --> 00:16:02,471
-No?
-No.
415
00:16:02,471 --> 00:16:05,040
M'Lisa, imagine
that this was your bar.
416
00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:08,077
You're in debt $300,000.
417
00:16:08,077 --> 00:16:11,180
You had enough money to make it
another two months or so.
418
00:16:11,180 --> 00:16:13,349
Would you be acting
like Dave is?
419
00:16:13,349 --> 00:16:14,984
I think if I were Dave,
420
00:16:14,984 --> 00:16:16,485
I would be a little
more involved,
421
00:16:16,485 --> 00:16:19,421
trying to do anything
to keep the business afloat.
422
00:16:19,421 --> 00:16:21,257
I'd like to know
how she does that.
423
00:16:21,257 --> 00:16:22,000
How do you pay for something
when you don't have any money?
424
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:23,259
How do you pay for something
when you don't have any money?
425
00:16:23,259 --> 00:16:25,094
But, but we blew $300,000.
426
00:16:25,094 --> 00:16:26,462
Did you not spend it on things
427
00:16:26,462 --> 00:16:27,930
that would make
the business grow?
428
00:16:27,930 --> 00:16:28,998
What did you do
with all that money?
429
00:16:28,998 --> 00:16:30,232
'Cause it certainly didn't go
430
00:16:30,232 --> 00:16:31,567
into the walls
or the environment.
431
00:16:33,302 --> 00:16:36,105
We lack energy and leadership.
432
00:16:36,105 --> 00:16:38,040
And since we lack
energy and leadership,
433
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:40,376
you guys have stepped up
and try to do it on your own.
434
00:16:40,376 --> 00:16:41,710
I applaud you for that.
435
00:16:41,710 --> 00:16:43,512
But we gotta get leadership
stepping up
436
00:16:43,512 --> 00:16:45,547
and providing something
to the table as well.
437
00:16:45,547 --> 00:16:48,517
So, obviously, as you can see,
I blame this on you.
438
00:16:48,517 --> 00:16:50,252
-All of it.
-I see that.
439
00:16:50,252 --> 00:16:52,054
And I think that
you were irresponsible
440
00:16:52,054 --> 00:16:53,489
with regard to the way
you spent your money
441
00:16:53,489 --> 00:16:55,724
-and planned this business out.
-I see that.
442
00:16:55,724 --> 00:16:58,093
And when you left
and took another job,
443
00:16:58,093 --> 00:17:00,229
to think that
it was gonna get better,
444
00:17:00,229 --> 00:17:02,464
was really about
as bad a decision
445
00:17:02,464 --> 00:17:04,967
as anybody could make,
because now he's not here.
446
00:17:04,967 --> 00:17:07,569
Now there's no management.
Now it can only get worse.
447
00:17:07,569 --> 00:17:09,004
Does that make sense to you?
448
00:17:10,239 --> 00:17:12,207
Well, I disagree with you.
449
00:17:15,077 --> 00:17:17,146
What do you disagree with me on?
450
00:17:17,146 --> 00:17:19,648
I have to work construction
outside of this.
451
00:17:19,648 --> 00:17:21,350
If I'm working
a construction job
452
00:17:21,350 --> 00:17:23,185
and I have a issue here,
453
00:17:23,185 --> 00:17:25,020
I don't have time to go home
and change my clothes.
454
00:17:25,020 --> 00:17:27,456
Did you have time to go home
and change yesterday?
455
00:17:27,456 --> 00:17:29,224
I could've changed
yesterday, yes.
456
00:17:29,224 --> 00:17:31,060
But you didn't?
I am--I am who I am.
457
00:17:31,060 --> 00:17:33,295
Next. Give me another excuse.
458
00:17:34,530 --> 00:17:36,231
That's my point, Dave.
459
00:17:36,231 --> 00:17:38,367
And until you accept
the ownership
460
00:17:38,367 --> 00:17:40,636
that your actions
caused failure,
461
00:17:40,636 --> 00:17:42,404
you have no reason to change.
462
00:17:44,006 --> 00:17:46,041
I think anybody
can always do better.
463
00:17:46,041 --> 00:17:47,643
I think you can do better.
464
00:17:51,113 --> 00:17:52,614
You need a little
humility, buddy.
465
00:17:54,049 --> 00:17:55,784
This isn't about doing better.
466
00:17:55,784 --> 00:17:58,287
It's about correcting
your mistakes.
467
00:17:58,287 --> 00:18:00,656
That's a very different
set of words.
468
00:18:00,656 --> 00:18:02,391
-That's not true at all.
-You're not on a pedestal.
469
00:18:02,391 --> 00:18:04,126
-That's not true at all.
-You're in a pit.
470
00:18:04,126 --> 00:18:06,295
-That's not true at all.
-Dave, you lost $300,000
471
00:18:06,295 --> 00:18:08,030
of her money too.
472
00:18:08,030 --> 00:18:10,299
Did you blow it wisely, Dave?
473
00:18:11,533 --> 00:18:13,535
Until I change
the way you think,
474
00:18:13,535 --> 00:18:16,138
I'm not gonna be able
to change what you do.
475
00:18:16,138 --> 00:18:18,173
And until I change what you do,
476
00:18:18,173 --> 00:18:19,808
I can't protect her house.
477
00:18:19,808 --> 00:18:21,276
Do you get that?
478
00:18:22,678 --> 00:18:24,446
I don't need you
yelling at me anymore.
479
00:18:30,011 --> 00:18:31,579
And until I change what you do,
480
00:18:31,579 --> 00:18:33,414
I can't protect her house.
481
00:18:33,414 --> 00:18:34,682
Do you get that?
482
00:18:36,317 --> 00:18:38,352
I don't need you
yelling at me anymore.
483
00:18:38,352 --> 00:18:40,321
Dave's response to tough love
484
00:18:40,321 --> 00:18:44,425
is sometimes he's like
fight or flight,
485
00:18:44,425 --> 00:18:48,195
and he might need time
to calm down.
486
00:18:48,195 --> 00:18:50,031
You're gonna lose your home,
your--all your possessions,
487
00:18:50,031 --> 00:18:53,134
and even then he'll never
look at you and say,
488
00:18:53,134 --> 00:18:54,535
"I'm sorry, this was my fault.
489
00:18:54,535 --> 00:18:57,338
I made some choices
and decisions
490
00:18:57,338 --> 00:18:58,739
that really hurt us."
491
00:18:58,739 --> 00:19:00,808
Do you feel that way?
492
00:19:00,808 --> 00:19:03,277
-Yes, I do.
-No, she doesn't feel that way.
493
00:19:03,277 --> 00:19:07,581
-She just said it to me.
-Uh, Dave, you made mistakes.
494
00:19:07,581 --> 00:19:08,816
-It...
-Everybody makes mistakes.
495
00:19:08,816 --> 00:19:10,751
I know, but you,
you have to admit
496
00:19:10,751 --> 00:19:14,088
that you make the mistakes.
497
00:19:14,088 --> 00:19:15,322
-I've said I make mistakes.
-You, you don't say
498
00:19:15,322 --> 00:19:16,590
you're sorry and you don't say
499
00:19:16,590 --> 00:19:18,192
that you've made the mistakes.
500
00:19:18,192 --> 00:19:19,794
Say, "I have made the mistakes
501
00:19:19,794 --> 00:19:21,262
and I will correct them."
502
00:19:21,262 --> 00:19:23,097
I'm, I'm not saying
I'm better than anybody.
503
00:19:23,097 --> 00:19:24,699
I'm not saying
I'm smarter than anybody.
504
00:19:24,699 --> 00:19:27,601
I wanna learn.
What, what am I not saying?
505
00:19:29,336 --> 00:19:32,606
This bar is failing
because of you
506
00:19:32,606 --> 00:19:35,376
and the choices
that you have made,
507
00:19:35,376 --> 00:19:37,578
and I want you
to be accountable to that.
508
00:19:37,578 --> 00:19:39,213
-Okay.
-But if you keep using lines
509
00:19:39,213 --> 00:19:41,248
like, "Well,
everybody makes mistakes,"
510
00:19:41,248 --> 00:19:43,617
then he doesn't have
to own anything, does he?
511
00:19:43,617 --> 00:19:45,786
He deflects it, goes home,
512
00:19:45,786 --> 00:19:47,855
and you lose
more money tomorrow.
513
00:19:47,855 --> 00:19:50,291
So let's stop the bullshit
514
00:19:50,291 --> 00:19:52,626
and I want you to admit
some ownership
515
00:19:52,626 --> 00:19:54,195
to the failure here,
516
00:19:54,195 --> 00:19:56,564
and then we can move on, Dave.
517
00:19:56,564 --> 00:19:58,666
So do you think
the way you function
518
00:19:58,666 --> 00:20:01,702
as the owner of this bar
has been the best to this bar?
519
00:20:01,702 --> 00:20:03,704
Do you believe that?
520
00:20:03,704 --> 00:20:05,106
I can dress better.
521
00:20:06,507 --> 00:20:07,775
You won't give me an answer?
522
00:20:07,775 --> 00:20:09,210
Is this the way he is?
523
00:20:09,210 --> 00:20:11,579
How is that not an answer?
524
00:20:11,579 --> 00:20:13,781
I give everything I have
to my customers.
525
00:20:13,781 --> 00:20:17,251
So do I do things perfectly?
No, I do not, sir.
526
00:20:17,251 --> 00:20:20,488
But you know what, I will do it
the best that I possibly can.
527
00:20:20,488 --> 00:20:21,789
He's obviously very stubborn.
528
00:20:21,789 --> 00:20:23,491
-You've known him a long time?
-Yes.
529
00:20:23,491 --> 00:20:26,694
So I gotta change you
to change this bar.
530
00:20:26,694 --> 00:20:29,396
That's the reality of it.
Now let's go to work.
531
00:20:29,396 --> 00:20:31,799
And so a lot has happened
in the last couple minutes
532
00:20:31,799 --> 00:20:36,270
with Jon coming in
and directing questions to Dave.
533
00:20:36,270 --> 00:20:38,272
And he got very defensive.
534
00:20:38,272 --> 00:20:42,143
-You guys are full of shit.
-No.
535
00:20:42,143 --> 00:20:44,445
I feel a little lost right now,
536
00:20:44,445 --> 00:20:46,647
what I'm supposed to do
to help Dave
537
00:20:46,647 --> 00:20:48,249
move to the next step.
538
00:20:48,249 --> 00:20:50,451
Everybody's a genius.
539
00:20:52,453 --> 00:20:54,555
How about if I put you guys
540
00:20:54,555 --> 00:20:55,756
in charge where you guys...
541
00:20:55,756 --> 00:20:57,191
-You're deflecting.
-See? Yeah.
542
00:20:57,191 --> 00:20:58,659
-No, no, no, no, no, no.
-Yes, you are.
543
00:20:58,659 --> 00:21:01,829
So I'm excited to see
what Jon has to offer
544
00:21:01,829 --> 00:21:04,331
and recommend to do.
545
00:21:04,331 --> 00:21:05,800
How do I do it all?
How is there...
546
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:06,901
-That's--no.
-...enough time in a day?
547
00:21:06,901 --> 00:21:09,904
Dave, I have three jobs.
548
00:21:09,904 --> 00:21:11,739
-I feel like you're, um...
-And I'm 70 years old.
549
00:21:11,739 --> 00:21:13,707
Because I'm just like you.
I have to make a living.
550
00:21:13,707 --> 00:21:16,477
I have to pay bills.
Everybody does.
551
00:21:17,778 --> 00:21:20,147
I hear you. I hear you, Linda.
552
00:21:22,650 --> 00:21:26,220
[upbeat music]
553
00:21:27,588 --> 00:21:29,523
-How are we doing?
-Good. Great.
554
00:21:29,523 --> 00:21:31,659
-How's everything?
-Good. Awesome.
555
00:21:31,659 --> 00:21:34,228
So last night,
I saw a lot of inconsistencies.
556
00:21:34,228 --> 00:21:36,630
I saw juice
going inside the shaker.
557
00:21:36,630 --> 00:21:38,465
There's no actual measurements.
558
00:21:38,465 --> 00:21:39,900
They were combining
different cocktails
559
00:21:39,900 --> 00:21:41,335
to make another cocktail
560
00:21:41,335 --> 00:21:42,703
when somebody asked
for a paloma.
561
00:21:42,703 --> 00:21:44,505
There's just not a lot
of knowledge there.
562
00:21:44,505 --> 00:21:46,740
So today's training
has to be about making sure
563
00:21:46,740 --> 00:21:48,375
they know how to make
the cocktails,
564
00:21:48,375 --> 00:21:49,877
how to present the cocktails.
565
00:21:49,877 --> 00:21:51,612
Simple stuff
but important stuff.
566
00:21:51,612 --> 00:21:53,247
So, to start off, we're gonna do
567
00:21:53,247 --> 00:21:54,882
a Fireman's Shower.
568
00:21:54,882 --> 00:21:56,784
One ounce of egg white,
569
00:21:56,784 --> 00:21:58,385
one ounce of grenadine,
570
00:21:58,385 --> 00:22:00,387
one ounce of lime juice,
571
00:22:00,387 --> 00:22:01,922
two ounces of rum.
572
00:22:01,922 --> 00:22:04,191
Ice up. Over the shoulder.
573
00:22:05,926 --> 00:22:07,294
This has egg whites
so you really
574
00:22:07,294 --> 00:22:08,696
wanna shake this 10 seconds.
575
00:22:08,696 --> 00:22:10,264
You'll see that froth
right there...
576
00:22:10,264 --> 00:22:11,332
-Okay.
-...you know, it's ready.
577
00:22:11,332 --> 00:22:12,967
-Okay.
-Pop it.
578
00:22:12,967 --> 00:22:15,336
And then this is gonna go
inside a Collins glass.
579
00:22:15,336 --> 00:22:18,739
Garnish this with a lime wheel
and cherry.
580
00:22:18,739 --> 00:22:20,841
Ladies and gentleman,
that is a Fireman's Shower.
581
00:22:20,841 --> 00:22:22,810
-Aubrie.
-Oh, yay.
582
00:22:22,810 --> 00:22:24,945
I need you to come back here
and you, my dear,
583
00:22:24,945 --> 00:22:26,981
are gonna be making
the Fireman's Shower.
584
00:22:26,981 --> 00:22:28,415
Okay.
585
00:22:28,415 --> 00:22:29,750
And every time
you make a mistake,
586
00:22:29,750 --> 00:22:31,385
-you're gonna hear...
-[bell rings]
587
00:22:31,385 --> 00:22:32,920
[laughter]
588
00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:35,256
Bar training
was kind of stressful.
589
00:22:35,256 --> 00:22:37,758
The bell was really annoying
to work with.
590
00:22:37,758 --> 00:22:38,926
Two ounces of rum.
591
00:22:40,361 --> 00:22:41,562
[bell rings]
592
00:22:41,562 --> 00:22:43,297
That was a ounce and a half.
593
00:22:43,297 --> 00:22:45,499
I think if I had to listen
to that on a daily basis,
594
00:22:45,499 --> 00:22:46,934
I would quit my job.
595
00:22:46,934 --> 00:22:48,435
So every time you hear
this bell, that's money
596
00:22:48,435 --> 00:22:50,304
-going down the drain.
-I'm nervous.
597
00:22:50,304 --> 00:22:51,772
That puts you in a little bit
of a high stress environment,
598
00:22:51,772 --> 00:22:54,375
which is what bartending can be.
599
00:22:54,375 --> 00:22:56,710
And, ladies and gentlemen,
that is a Fireman's Shower.
600
00:22:56,710 --> 00:22:58,646
Yes. Yes. All righty.
601
00:22:58,646 --> 00:23:00,915
So we have a lot of work to do.
You guys ready to do it?
602
00:23:00,915 --> 00:23:02,483
all: Yes.
-Let's do it.
603
00:23:02,483 --> 00:23:04,685
-All right.
-Awesome. Thank you.
604
00:23:04,685 --> 00:23:07,688
[dramatic music]
605
00:23:10,891 --> 00:23:12,927
-How we doing?
-Good.
606
00:23:12,927 --> 00:23:15,796
-What do you think, Dave?
-Looking awesome.
607
00:23:15,796 --> 00:23:17,898
Why don't we just get together
and talk as a group
608
00:23:17,898 --> 00:23:19,633
and everybody
can come over, okay?
609
00:23:19,633 --> 00:23:22,369
Come on out here.
610
00:23:22,369 --> 00:23:24,738
We're gonna open. We're gonna
have about 41 people here.
611
00:23:24,738 --> 00:23:26,473
We're gonna get slammed
at the bar.
612
00:23:26,473 --> 00:23:27,975
-It's gonna be touch.
-Are you worried about that?
613
00:23:27,975 --> 00:23:28,000
I'm worried about that because,
as I said before,
614
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:29,643
I'm worried about that because,
as I said before,
615
00:23:29,643 --> 00:23:31,445
you have to communicate
with each other,
616
00:23:31,445 --> 00:23:32,980
-trust each other.
-Okay.
617
00:23:32,980 --> 00:23:34,381
-Dave, you ready?
-Uh-hmm.
618
00:23:34,381 --> 00:23:35,749
-You ready?
-Ready.
619
00:23:35,749 --> 00:23:37,518
Okay. Go let them in.
620
00:23:37,518 --> 00:23:39,453
Stress test. This is important.
621
00:23:39,453 --> 00:23:41,922
I know my girls are gonna do
the absolute best they can.
622
00:23:41,922 --> 00:23:43,824
They might actually shock me.
623
00:23:45,659 --> 00:23:47,094
Hey, there they are.
624
00:23:47,094 --> 00:23:49,697
Hey, everybody.
Welcome to the Firehouse.
625
00:23:49,697 --> 00:23:51,332
Come on in.
626
00:23:51,332 --> 00:23:53,100
[upbeat music]
627
00:23:53,100 --> 00:23:54,768
Hey, everybody. Grab a seat.
628
00:23:54,768 --> 00:23:57,104
-How are you?
-Good. How are you?
629
00:23:57,104 --> 00:23:59,873
Awesome.
What can I get started for you?
630
00:23:59,873 --> 00:24:01,108
What are having?
631
00:24:01,108 --> 00:24:02,810
I'm gonna have Put The Fire Out.
632
00:24:02,810 --> 00:24:04,778
Two Fireman's Shower?
633
00:24:04,778 --> 00:24:07,614
The [indistinct] it's delicious.
634
00:24:07,614 --> 00:24:10,584
Equal parts. Yup. There we go.
635
00:24:10,584 --> 00:24:12,519
Still. Still. Shake. Shake.
636
00:24:12,519 --> 00:24:14,521
Let me get
that [indistinct] look.
637
00:24:14,521 --> 00:24:15,889
-Hi, guys.
-Hey, how are you?
638
00:24:15,889 --> 00:24:17,658
So we have three
signature drinks
639
00:24:17,658 --> 00:24:19,426
that we're gonna be
serving tonight.
640
00:24:19,426 --> 00:24:20,728
-Okay.
-We're just starting out,
641
00:24:20,728 --> 00:24:22,363
but it's great to see Dave
642
00:24:22,363 --> 00:24:23,897
immediately hit tables,
643
00:24:23,897 --> 00:24:26,066
started taking orders,
welcome people.
644
00:24:26,066 --> 00:24:28,669
He's engaged.
Bartenders are just starting.
645
00:24:28,669 --> 00:24:31,638
Still chaotic.
Let's see how Dave's team does
646
00:24:31,638 --> 00:24:33,640
and let's see Dave lead tonight.
647
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:36,110
If he leads,
it'll make a huge difference.
648
00:24:36,110 --> 00:24:37,678
-They got your guys' order?
-Yes, they did.
649
00:24:37,678 --> 00:24:39,113
-Perfect.
-Thank you.
650
00:24:39,113 --> 00:24:41,482
Bear with us. We'll get you.
651
00:24:41,482 --> 00:24:42,983
Would you put on a stopwatch
in your phone for me?
652
00:24:42,983 --> 00:24:44,685
I wanna see how long it takes
for you guys
653
00:24:44,685 --> 00:24:46,153
-to get a drink, okay?
-All right. Yeah.
654
00:24:46,153 --> 00:24:48,455
At what point, if I wasn't here,
would you guys walk out?
655
00:24:48,455 --> 00:24:49,990
So--I don't know. I--
I'd probably wait at least 15.
656
00:24:49,990 --> 00:24:51,959
Are you--okay.
Would you wait 15 or so?
657
00:24:51,959 --> 00:24:53,660
-Yeah.
-Okay.
658
00:24:53,660 --> 00:24:54,661
Hopefully they make it then.
Let's see how they do.
659
00:24:54,661 --> 00:24:56,130
Okay.
660
00:24:56,130 --> 00:24:58,499
Oh, yeah. The first two drinks.
661
00:24:58,499 --> 00:24:59,533
Here we go.
662
00:24:59,533 --> 00:25:01,535
[cheers and applause]
663
00:25:03,637 --> 00:25:05,506
Okay. Those look a little darker
than the other ones.
664
00:25:05,506 --> 00:25:07,608
All right.
665
00:25:07,608 --> 00:25:08,976
That's definitely off.
Dump it out.
666
00:25:08,976 --> 00:25:10,511
-It's not good?
-Dump it.
667
00:25:12,613 --> 00:25:14,148
Looks like you've got everybody.
668
00:25:14,148 --> 00:25:16,617
We're, we're caught up.
We just gotta get drinks.
669
00:25:16,617 --> 00:25:18,786
-You're making two?
-Yes. Was that...
670
00:25:18,786 --> 00:25:20,921
That, that was way short.
671
00:25:20,921 --> 00:25:22,623
I don't know what to do.
672
00:25:22,623 --> 00:25:24,158
Thirteen minutes in,
we've served
673
00:25:24,158 --> 00:25:26,527
one, two, three, four,
five, six drinks.
674
00:25:26,527 --> 00:25:27,961
Sinking already.
675
00:25:27,961 --> 00:25:29,396
I'll wash them.
676
00:25:30,564 --> 00:25:31,999
Wait, wait, wait,
wait, wait, wait.
677
00:25:31,999 --> 00:25:34,034
-Look at those cocktails.
-That's not enough.
678
00:25:34,034 --> 00:25:35,769
-Why?
-I didn't pour enough.
679
00:25:35,769 --> 00:25:37,538
There we go. Restart.
680
00:25:37,538 --> 00:25:39,940
Come on. Hustle up.
681
00:25:39,940 --> 00:25:41,575
Have you sweep [indistinct]
682
00:25:41,575 --> 00:25:44,111
-No. Nope. Not that one, yup.
-Okay.
683
00:25:44,111 --> 00:25:45,846
Here's one
Put The Fire Out here.
684
00:25:45,846 --> 00:25:47,481
Hey, Derrick,
how often do you see
685
00:25:47,481 --> 00:25:49,149
a service bar
in the middle of the bar?
686
00:25:49,149 --> 00:25:50,651
-Yeah, so...
-The best seats in the house.
687
00:25:50,651 --> 00:25:52,219
That's taking up real estate.
688
00:25:52,219 --> 00:25:54,021
It's distracting. It should be
on the corner somewhere.
689
00:25:54,021 --> 00:25:55,222
Of course.
690
00:25:55,222 --> 00:25:56,857
You guys have to hustle up.
691
00:25:56,857 --> 00:25:58,559
There's a lot of drinks
that's not being made.
692
00:25:58,559 --> 00:25:59,827
What else is missing with those?
693
00:25:59,827 --> 00:26:01,528
Um, I'm not sure.
694
00:26:01,528 --> 00:26:03,630
Ladies, come on.
We're losing it here.
695
00:26:03,630 --> 00:26:04,965
We're really falling apart.
696
00:26:04,965 --> 00:26:06,733
Nobody out in the tables
have any drinks.
697
00:26:06,733 --> 00:26:08,135
The bar isn't even served yet.
698
00:26:08,135 --> 00:26:09,736
Where are we at with drinks?
699
00:26:09,736 --> 00:26:11,038
We need one more.
700
00:26:11,038 --> 00:26:12,473
I'll have got two
Firemans right now.
701
00:26:12,473 --> 00:26:14,675
We need Fireman
and one more PTFO.
702
00:26:14,675 --> 00:26:17,177
That table has crossed
15 minutes.
703
00:26:17,177 --> 00:26:19,213
How long would it take
before you'd leave a bar
704
00:26:19,213 --> 00:26:20,881
if you weren't served at all?
705
00:26:20,881 --> 00:26:23,584
You guys said 15 minutes.
Would everybody agree?
706
00:26:23,584 --> 00:26:24,785
-About 15 minutes?
all: Yes!
707
00:26:24,785 --> 00:26:27,855
So we're crossing 15 minutes.
708
00:26:27,855 --> 00:26:29,590
Come on, guys. Move!
709
00:26:31,158 --> 00:26:33,260
-We're at 15 minutes!
-Okay.
710
00:26:33,260 --> 00:26:34,962
Here's another one.
711
00:26:34,962 --> 00:26:36,830
Dave, another one is 15 minutes.
712
00:26:36,830 --> 00:26:39,800
No drinks. Okay, guys,
we're in emergency mode now.
713
00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:41,201
[siren wailing]
714
00:26:41,201 --> 00:26:43,203
You guys are now at how long?
715
00:26:43,203 --> 00:26:45,806
-Uh, we are at 18 minutes.
-Eighteen minutes?
716
00:26:45,806 --> 00:26:47,541
So you're already down the road?
717
00:26:47,541 --> 00:26:50,277
I mean, you're not even
in the parking lot anymore.
718
00:26:50,277 --> 00:26:51,979
Wrong.
Supposed to be a half ounce.
719
00:26:55,608 --> 00:26:57,710
-We are at 18 minutes.
-Eighteen minutes?
720
00:26:57,710 --> 00:27:00,179
-We're in emergency mode now.
-[siren wailing]
721
00:27:00,179 --> 00:27:02,248
So you're already down the road.
722
00:27:02,248 --> 00:27:04,817
Wrong.
Supposed to be a half ounce.
723
00:27:04,817 --> 00:27:07,687
If I wasn't here with my team,
everybody would be starting
724
00:27:07,687 --> 00:27:09,956
to get up and walk out of here
at this point, right?
725
00:27:09,956 --> 00:27:11,924
-Yes.
-So we're in emergency mode.
726
00:27:11,924 --> 00:27:13,226
Dave, what do we do?
727
00:27:13,226 --> 00:27:15,194
Either we get them served
or we sink.
728
00:27:15,194 --> 00:27:17,130
Who's taking care
of the tickets?
729
00:27:17,130 --> 00:27:19,165
-I am. I'm getting on it.
-Okay. You gotta communicate.
730
00:27:19,165 --> 00:27:20,900
In about 45 minutes,
731
00:27:20,900 --> 00:27:22,935
we've gotten about 16 drinks
across the bar.
732
00:27:22,935 --> 00:27:25,571
When people aren't served
for 15 minutes, they leave.
733
00:27:25,571 --> 00:27:26,939
We're approaching 20 minutes.
734
00:27:26,939 --> 00:27:29,075
They can't get this room served
735
00:27:29,075 --> 00:27:30,109
in even an hour.
736
00:27:31,210 --> 00:27:32,578
How many seconds is four ounces?
737
00:27:32,578 --> 00:27:33,846
One, two, three...
738
00:27:33,846 --> 00:27:35,748
-Sixteen.
-...four, five...
739
00:27:35,748 --> 00:27:37,116
Come on, guys. Move.
740
00:27:40,586 --> 00:27:42,622
-Been a while, right?
-Yes.
741
00:27:44,857 --> 00:27:46,592
What do you think?
742
00:27:46,592 --> 00:27:48,027
It's taken too long
for drinks to come out.
743
00:27:48,027 --> 00:27:49,796
Yeah, they're not gonna cover it
at this point.
744
00:27:49,796 --> 00:27:51,264
It shouldn't--no. It, it,
it shouldn't take 15 minutes
745
00:27:51,264 --> 00:27:52,932
-to get a cocktail.
-Okay. We're gonna get them
746
00:27:52,932 --> 00:27:53,933
out of their misery
'cause this is [indistinct]
747
00:27:53,933 --> 00:27:55,201
Right on.
748
00:27:55,201 --> 00:27:56,703
I appreciate your guys' patience
for come in.
749
00:27:56,703 --> 00:27:57,937
[bell rings]
750
00:27:57,937 --> 00:27:59,906
Oh!
751
00:27:59,906 --> 00:28:03,042
That's the sound that you hear
in a firehouse
752
00:28:03,042 --> 00:28:06,179
when there's an emergency
and everybody has to leave,
753
00:28:06,179 --> 00:28:08,848
which means
this is an emergency, guys.
754
00:28:08,848 --> 00:28:10,616
We blew this, didn't we?
755
00:28:10,616 --> 00:28:12,618
So come on over, Dave.
756
00:28:12,618 --> 00:28:15,288
Dave's invested his life savings
in this bar.
757
00:28:15,288 --> 00:28:17,323
Dave, do you wanna apologize
to everyone
758
00:28:17,323 --> 00:28:19,058
since we did let them down?
759
00:28:19,058 --> 00:28:21,627
Sorry, guys.
Please come back in three days.
760
00:28:21,627 --> 00:28:23,296
We'll take good care of you.
761
00:28:23,296 --> 00:28:24,630
Thank you, everybody.
762
00:28:24,630 --> 00:28:27,033
[cheers and applause]
763
00:28:29,602 --> 00:28:31,170
[indistinct chatter]
764
00:28:31,170 --> 00:28:32,839
I mean, this bar
is a piece of crap.
765
00:28:32,839 --> 00:28:34,207
Yeah. It's, it's, it's terrible.
It's terrible.
766
00:28:34,207 --> 00:28:36,142
But, but the staff...
767
00:28:36,142 --> 00:28:38,010
They have that heart.
They have soul.
768
00:28:38,010 --> 00:28:39,212
They wanna do something,
but they don't have
769
00:28:39,212 --> 00:28:40,680
-the equipment to do it.
-Yes.
770
00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:42,348
And that enthusiasm should be
771
00:28:42,348 --> 00:28:43,983
-making Dave successful...
-Yes.
772
00:28:43,983 --> 00:28:45,718
-...but it's not.
-Yeah.
773
00:28:45,718 --> 00:28:47,820
So let's look at this place
for a minute.
774
00:28:47,820 --> 00:28:49,589
Industrial buildings.
775
00:28:49,589 --> 00:28:51,657
-Industrial buildings.
-A lot of workers.
776
00:28:51,657 --> 00:28:54,193
So this is a blue collar,
gray collar...
777
00:28:54,193 --> 00:28:56,629
-Yup.
-...type of a marketplace.
778
00:28:56,629 --> 00:28:59,098
So we need drinks
that can fit that marketplace,
779
00:28:59,098 --> 00:29:01,701
but also they need
to be unique enough
780
00:29:01,701 --> 00:29:03,636
to draw in the customers.
781
00:29:03,636 --> 00:29:05,371
So when you think
about that fireman,
782
00:29:05,371 --> 00:29:08,708
middle class, what kind
of cocktails come to mind?
783
00:29:08,708 --> 00:29:10,710
I'm thinking
about smoky cocktails,
784
00:29:10,710 --> 00:29:12,845
elevated cocktails,
things that bring in new people
785
00:29:12,845 --> 00:29:14,213
but also just--
786
00:29:14,213 --> 00:29:15,348
they mean something
to the place.
787
00:29:15,348 --> 00:29:16,849
They're not just a gimmick.
788
00:29:16,849 --> 00:29:18,217
Let's assume that we know
we want some
789
00:29:18,217 --> 00:29:19,685
-female-oriented cocktails.
-Yes.
790
00:29:19,685 --> 00:29:20,920
We know we want some
male-oriented cocktails.
791
00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:22,355
-For sure.
-We got a theme
792
00:29:22,355 --> 00:29:24,891
and a name around
a firehouse concept.
793
00:29:24,891 --> 00:29:26,259
So there's a lot of creativity
we need to do.
794
00:29:26,259 --> 00:29:28,027
Yeah. For sure. And I got you.
795
00:29:28,027 --> 00:29:29,295
-All right, buddy. Let's go...
-I gotta go.
796
00:29:29,295 --> 00:29:30,763
-Let's go do it. Come on.
-Got it.
797
00:29:34,901 --> 00:29:38,638
[upbeat music]
798
00:29:40,740 --> 00:29:41,974
-Yay, yay.
-How we doing?
799
00:29:41,974 --> 00:29:43,676
-Hey, great.
-Hi.
800
00:29:43,676 --> 00:29:45,178
Last night, the bartenders
struggled with pouring.
801
00:29:45,178 --> 00:29:46,379
They struggled
with the equipment.
802
00:29:46,379 --> 00:29:47,680
They struggled with everything.
803
00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:48,748
You wanna work on pouring.
804
00:29:48,748 --> 00:29:50,049
You wanna work on communication
805
00:29:50,049 --> 00:29:51,417
and just getting familiar
and comfortable
806
00:29:51,417 --> 00:29:53,219
-with these new cocktails.
-Let's do it.
807
00:29:53,219 --> 00:29:54,987
Today, we're gonna be
incorporating a little bit
808
00:29:54,987 --> 00:29:56,889
of smoke to kind of match
the feel of the bar itself.
809
00:29:56,889 --> 00:29:58,991
Introducing smoke
into these cocktails
810
00:29:58,991 --> 00:30:00,693
makes them feel elevated
811
00:30:00,693 --> 00:30:02,361
but actually they're all very,
very simple.
812
00:30:02,361 --> 00:30:04,664
We're trying to bring
some new blood into this bar.
813
00:30:04,664 --> 00:30:06,165
We're trying to also
respect the people
814
00:30:06,165 --> 00:30:08,201
that are coming to this bar
right now.
815
00:30:08,201 --> 00:30:11,103
I'm gonna start off by getting
three dashes of orange bitters.
816
00:30:11,103 --> 00:30:12,905
One, two, three.
817
00:30:12,905 --> 00:30:15,408
And then a quarter
of an ounce of amaretto,
818
00:30:15,408 --> 00:30:18,211
three-fourths of an ounce
of [indistinct]
819
00:30:18,211 --> 00:30:19,846
one, two, three.
820
00:30:19,846 --> 00:30:22,381
And then two ounces
of the Frey Ranch whiskey.
821
00:30:22,381 --> 00:30:24,917
Well, so the reason
why we wanna stir this cocktail
822
00:30:24,917 --> 00:30:26,419
is we don't wanna
air it too much.
823
00:30:26,419 --> 00:30:27,720
We wanna dilute it.
824
00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:29,255
Just for about 10 seconds.
825
00:30:29,255 --> 00:30:30,823
You get your rocks glass.
826
00:30:30,823 --> 00:30:33,059
Pour it in.
827
00:30:33,059 --> 00:30:34,460
But we're not done yet.
828
00:30:34,460 --> 00:30:35,728
What we're gonna do is
we're gonna take this
829
00:30:35,728 --> 00:30:37,096
into the stewing glass.
830
00:30:37,096 --> 00:30:41,767
Add a little bit
of apple woodchips, okay?
831
00:30:41,767 --> 00:30:43,169
Just flip it back.
832
00:30:43,169 --> 00:30:44,770
So it's gonna infuse
to the cocktail, right?
833
00:30:44,770 --> 00:30:46,138
-You smell that, right?
-Campfire.
834
00:30:46,138 --> 00:30:48,374
Exactly. And you take your peel.
835
00:30:48,374 --> 00:30:50,343
Move it around.
And, ladies and gentlemen,
836
00:30:50,343 --> 00:30:53,312
that is a Citrus and Smoke.
837
00:30:53,312 --> 00:30:54,981
So, with this cocktail,
838
00:30:54,981 --> 00:30:57,383
the smoke elevates
the firehouse element, right?
839
00:30:57,383 --> 00:30:58,851
Love it.
840
00:30:58,851 --> 00:31:00,353
So we have a lot of work to do,
841
00:31:00,353 --> 00:31:02,121
but I have confidence
that you guys can get there.
842
00:31:02,121 --> 00:31:03,256
-All right.
-Yeah?
843
00:31:03,256 --> 00:31:04,757
-Yeah.
-Let's do it, man.
844
00:31:04,757 --> 00:31:06,292
All right. Let's go.
845
00:31:06,292 --> 00:31:10,029
[upbeat music]
846
00:31:10,029 --> 00:31:13,032
Last night,
I saw a spark from Dave.
847
00:31:13,032 --> 00:31:16,802
Clearly, he contributed to some
of his success last night.
848
00:31:16,802 --> 00:31:20,306
But procedures Dave
put in place did not work.
849
00:31:20,306 --> 00:31:23,743
So I'm concerned
about his go forward plan.
850
00:31:23,743 --> 00:31:25,878
I wanna go talk to Dave
and Victoria,
851
00:31:25,878 --> 00:31:27,346
and I wanna see
how their marriage is doing
852
00:31:27,346 --> 00:31:29,181
after going
through the past few days.
853
00:31:29,181 --> 00:31:31,851
-Big smiles.
-Getting through it.
854
00:31:31,851 --> 00:31:33,819
-How you feeling?
-I feel tired.
855
00:31:33,819 --> 00:31:36,155
-I bet.
-Emotionally tired.
856
00:31:36,155 --> 00:31:38,190
Yeah, this is an emotional
experience, isn't it?
857
00:31:38,190 --> 00:31:40,059
He was losing a lot of faith
in the bar.
858
00:31:40,059 --> 00:31:42,194
And is that faith back
a little bit?
859
00:31:42,194 --> 00:31:43,329
I'm excited.
860
00:31:43,329 --> 00:31:45,298
You feel his fires in his belly?
861
00:31:45,298 --> 00:31:46,332
-Is it coming back?
-It is.
862
00:31:46,332 --> 00:31:47,833
He's like in the changes.
863
00:31:47,833 --> 00:31:49,168
You know,
I was concerned at first...
864
00:31:49,168 --> 00:31:51,070
-Yeah.
-...and how we'd take to that.
865
00:31:51,070 --> 00:31:53,000
But, yeah,
he's doing really good.
866
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:53,239
But, yeah,
he's doing really good.
867
00:31:53,239 --> 00:31:54,974
I'm really proud of him
'cause I was tough on him.
868
00:31:54,974 --> 00:31:56,275
You were.
869
00:31:58,110 --> 00:32:01,147
You get emotional
when I compliment you.
870
00:32:01,147 --> 00:32:02,548
It's hard.
871
00:32:02,548 --> 00:32:04,784
You guys have brought up
some things with me
872
00:32:04,784 --> 00:32:07,920
that I've suppressed
with my family,
873
00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:09,455
you know,
that I didn't deal with,
874
00:32:09,455 --> 00:32:12,091
when my dad passed from cancer
and my sister,
875
00:32:12,091 --> 00:32:14,327
who was literally
my cheerleader,
876
00:32:14,327 --> 00:32:15,962
and she passed.
877
00:32:15,962 --> 00:32:20,166
And it was at a time
at the bar that--
878
00:32:23,336 --> 00:32:25,871
I kept telling her
I didn't have time
879
00:32:25,871 --> 00:32:29,408
because I have the bar
and I have construction.
880
00:32:29,408 --> 00:32:32,979
So she called me and--
881
00:32:32,979 --> 00:32:35,014
-the night that she died.
-Uh-hmm.
882
00:32:35,014 --> 00:32:37,116
I couldn't get by it.
883
00:32:37,116 --> 00:32:39,452
-And that haunts you?
-So I have--I have some guilt.
884
00:32:39,452 --> 00:32:42,288
So what would she want
for you right now?
885
00:32:42,288 --> 00:32:43,990
She want the best.
886
00:32:43,990 --> 00:32:46,125
When you walk
into that new bar tomorrow,
887
00:32:46,125 --> 00:32:48,461
she's gonna be smiling,
isn't she?
888
00:32:48,461 --> 00:32:50,196
Your dad's gonna be smiling,
isn't he?
889
00:32:50,196 --> 00:32:51,430
-Yes.
-And your brother,
890
00:32:51,430 --> 00:32:53,099
a firefighter,
is gonna be smiling.
891
00:32:53,099 --> 00:32:54,867
And you'll get to show
the bar to him.
892
00:32:54,867 --> 00:32:58,337
-Yes.
-So this is a great moment to,
893
00:32:58,337 --> 00:33:01,007
-to make this all a reason.
-It's a reset,
894
00:33:01,007 --> 00:33:04,210
given that the first time
in a long time
895
00:33:04,210 --> 00:33:07,279
that I think that we,
we can climb out of the hole.
896
00:33:07,279 --> 00:33:09,215
Clearly,
when I look in Dave's eyes
897
00:33:09,215 --> 00:33:10,483
and see his emotion,
898
00:33:10,483 --> 00:33:12,218
the support of Victoria
899
00:33:12,218 --> 00:33:14,086
is key to Dave's success.
900
00:33:14,086 --> 00:33:15,621
-I appreciate you.
-Appreciate you too.
901
00:33:15,621 --> 00:33:16,989
I really appreciate it.
902
00:33:16,989 --> 00:33:18,991
And I think we restored that,
903
00:33:18,991 --> 00:33:21,927
and Dave is now equipped
personally
904
00:33:21,927 --> 00:33:24,363
and physically to run this bar.
905
00:33:27,433 --> 00:33:31,470
[upbeat music]
906
00:33:33,072 --> 00:33:35,207
So lots of problems, guys.
907
00:33:35,207 --> 00:33:37,109
There's nothing that looks
like a firehouse in here.
908
00:33:37,109 --> 00:33:38,511
I'm with you. How do you bring
that element inside?
909
00:33:38,511 --> 00:33:40,112
Inside.
That's our big challenge.
910
00:33:40,112 --> 00:33:41,614
-Okay.
-And, Jim, behind the bar,
911
00:33:41,614 --> 00:33:44,150
can we get two workstations?
912
00:33:44,150 --> 00:33:46,018
If we can do that,
913
00:33:46,018 --> 00:33:49,321
then we need two good
Shift4 POS systems.
914
00:33:49,321 --> 00:33:51,290
Right now, they don't have
printers at the bar.
915
00:33:51,290 --> 00:33:53,359
They're writing on a check.
916
00:33:53,359 --> 00:33:55,261
-So not a lot of solutions.
-Right.
917
00:33:55,261 --> 00:33:56,595
But let's see
if we can work them through.
918
00:33:56,595 --> 00:33:57,963
-Sure.
-Let's write it up.
919
00:34:01,233 --> 00:34:03,536
[upbeat music]
920
00:34:03,536 --> 00:34:06,405
[sirens wailing]
921
00:34:08,107 --> 00:34:10,876
[applause]
922
00:34:11,677 --> 00:34:13,045
-Hello.
-Hello.
923
00:34:13,045 --> 00:34:15,481
-Hi, everybody!
-[cheering]
924
00:34:15,481 --> 00:34:19,185
Our fire department is here.
Hey, guys.
925
00:34:19,185 --> 00:34:22,221
Coming to a town like this
and helping somebody like you
926
00:34:22,221 --> 00:34:24,557
is what this is all about, Dave.
927
00:34:24,557 --> 00:34:27,159
How has this week been
for you, Victoria?
928
00:34:27,159 --> 00:34:29,061
-Hectic but great.
-Yeah.
929
00:34:29,061 --> 00:34:30,663
He and I went at it pretty good
in the beginning, didn't we?
930
00:34:30,663 --> 00:34:32,298
-You did.
-[laughs]
931
00:34:32,298 --> 00:34:33,699
You know, I care about you,
don't you?
932
00:34:33,699 --> 00:34:36,302
-Yes, thank you.
-So you're ready?
933
00:34:36,302 --> 00:34:38,270
-I'm very much so.
-You guys ready?
934
00:34:38,270 --> 00:34:39,572
[cheering]
935
00:34:39,572 --> 00:34:41,974
One...
936
00:34:41,974 --> 00:34:44,043
two...
937
00:34:44,043 --> 00:34:45,678
three!
938
00:34:45,678 --> 00:34:48,347
-[cheers and applause]
-Oh, wow.
939
00:34:50,492 --> 00:34:52,527
-[cheering]
-One...
940
00:34:52,527 --> 00:34:53,928
two...
941
00:34:53,928 --> 00:34:56,464
three!
942
00:34:56,464 --> 00:34:58,333
-[cheers and applause]
-Oh, wow.
943
00:34:58,333 --> 00:34:59,668
That's cool.
944
00:34:59,668 --> 00:35:02,570
[cheering and applause]
945
00:35:04,105 --> 00:35:05,573
What does the sign say, Dave?
946
00:35:06,541 --> 00:35:07,976
Dave's Firehouse.
947
00:35:07,976 --> 00:35:10,578
Not just a firehouse.
948
00:35:10,578 --> 00:35:12,547
Not just the firehouse.
949
00:35:12,547 --> 00:35:14,549
Dave's Firehouse.
950
00:35:14,549 --> 00:35:17,285
I want the inspiration
that you feel today
951
00:35:17,285 --> 00:35:20,488
to feel it every time you walk
under that sign.
952
00:35:20,488 --> 00:35:21,690
Wait till you guys see
the inside.
953
00:35:21,690 --> 00:35:23,091
-You ready?
-Yeah.
954
00:35:23,091 --> 00:35:25,026
All right, guys. Go ahead.
955
00:35:25,026 --> 00:35:27,595
[cheers and applause]
956
00:35:29,331 --> 00:35:31,299
-Look at the lights.
-Oh, wow.
957
00:35:33,101 --> 00:35:35,570
-This is gorgeous.
-So purty.
958
00:35:35,570 --> 00:35:37,639
Holy moly.
959
00:35:37,639 --> 00:35:39,574
Did you see the American flag
out of hose?
960
00:35:39,574 --> 00:35:41,509
Oh, that's cool.
961
00:35:41,509 --> 00:35:44,245
Oh, look. Oh, I love that.
962
00:35:44,245 --> 00:35:45,714
You guys look at the bar.
963
00:35:45,714 --> 00:35:47,949
This is so cool.
964
00:35:47,949 --> 00:35:50,218
This is a place
I'm proud to represent.
965
00:35:50,218 --> 00:35:52,220
Oh, my gosh. Look.
966
00:35:52,220 --> 00:35:53,488
Oh.
967
00:35:54,956 --> 00:35:56,224
It's Carrie.
968
00:35:59,594 --> 00:36:02,731
Having my sister and my brother
on that back wall,
969
00:36:02,731 --> 00:36:06,334
um, you can't help but want
to give it everything you got.
970
00:36:06,334 --> 00:36:07,736
-He's really happy.
-Is he?
971
00:36:07,736 --> 00:36:09,204
Let's see what he says.
972
00:36:09,204 --> 00:36:10,605
What do you think, buddy?
973
00:36:10,605 --> 00:36:12,574
-It's beautiful.
-You happy?
974
00:36:12,574 --> 00:36:14,376
Yeah.
I mean, you outdid yourself.
975
00:36:14,376 --> 00:36:17,379
-Ah, thank you.
-You outdid yourself.
976
00:36:17,379 --> 00:36:19,114
-It's amazing.
-So love the decor up there.
977
00:36:19,114 --> 00:36:21,750
All donated
by the fire department, right?
978
00:36:21,750 --> 00:36:23,685
We have professional dart lanes
for you.
979
00:36:23,685 --> 00:36:25,720
Did you see we put
in the drink rails separatings?
980
00:36:25,720 --> 00:36:27,122
-Yes.
-So then, of course,
981
00:36:27,122 --> 00:36:28,690
when you look at the other room,
982
00:36:28,690 --> 00:36:31,459
we have the wall of fame
for the pool players
983
00:36:31,459 --> 00:36:33,194
and the wall of honor.
984
00:36:33,194 --> 00:36:34,262
Of course, your brother
is there.
985
00:36:34,262 --> 00:36:35,397
-Yes.
-So come around
986
00:36:35,397 --> 00:36:36,698
to the other side
of the bar, guys.
987
00:36:36,698 --> 00:36:37,699
Let me show you
everything that I did.
988
00:36:37,699 --> 00:36:39,100
Grab a seat.
989
00:36:40,168 --> 00:36:41,703
So look at what we did here.
990
00:36:41,703 --> 00:36:43,338
First of all, we wanted
to infuse a bunch of colors.
991
00:36:43,338 --> 00:36:45,340
So we added the reds, of course.
992
00:36:45,340 --> 00:36:47,409
I got BarProducts.com to give us
993
00:36:47,409 --> 00:36:49,444
all the mixing kits,
the glassware,
994
00:36:49,444 --> 00:36:51,413
all the strainers,
all the supplies.
995
00:36:51,413 --> 00:36:54,182
Then I got Audio Video
Professionals of Idaho
996
00:36:54,182 --> 00:36:56,718
to overhaul
the entire AV system.
997
00:36:56,718 --> 00:36:59,421
So I got SkyTab POS.
State-of-the-art.
998
00:36:59,421 --> 00:37:00,755
This is brand-new POS.
999
00:37:00,755 --> 00:37:03,191
And here's your SkyTab unit.
1000
00:37:03,191 --> 00:37:05,026
Then I got Partender.
1001
00:37:05,026 --> 00:37:06,628
In 15 minutes,
you can take inventory
1002
00:37:06,628 --> 00:37:08,263
behind the entire bar.
1003
00:37:08,263 --> 00:37:10,598
-Wow.
-This down here is a PathSpot.
1004
00:37:10,598 --> 00:37:12,333
After you wash your hands,
1005
00:37:12,333 --> 00:37:14,269
you put your hands
underneath it.
1006
00:37:14,269 --> 00:37:16,671
If you get a green light,
you're cool.
1007
00:37:16,671 --> 00:37:18,373
I got Curtis Restaurant
Equipment,
1008
00:37:18,373 --> 00:37:20,041
a great local company,
1009
00:37:20,041 --> 00:37:21,309
to give us this ice bin here
and the speed wells.
1010
00:37:21,309 --> 00:37:23,278
Then I got Stundenglass
1011
00:37:23,278 --> 00:37:24,813
to give you one of these units.
1012
00:37:24,813 --> 00:37:27,081
My favorite cocktail smokers
in the world.
1013
00:37:27,081 --> 00:37:30,718
And, of course, smoke,
firehouse, it connects.
1014
00:37:30,718 --> 00:37:33,087
Now this menu
just has our drinks on it.
1015
00:37:33,087 --> 00:37:36,758
And you'll notice,
$1 of every Hook And Ladder sold
1016
00:37:36,758 --> 00:37:40,562
will be donated to the Nampa
Firefighter Burnout Fund,
1017
00:37:40,562 --> 00:37:43,731
which assists citizens displaced
by fire.
1018
00:37:43,731 --> 00:37:46,568
-That's awesome.
-Isn't that who we should be?
1019
00:37:46,568 --> 00:37:48,069
Does it feel
like the same place?
1020
00:37:48,069 --> 00:37:49,471
-No.
-No.
1021
00:37:49,471 --> 00:37:50,738
Victoria, you think
I've given David
1022
00:37:50,738 --> 00:37:52,140
what he needs now to succeed?
1023
00:37:52,140 --> 00:37:54,242
-Absolutely.
-Yeah?
1024
00:37:54,242 --> 00:37:56,411
And has this brought
the two of you closer together?
1025
00:37:56,411 --> 00:37:58,246
Yeah. We're communicating more.
1026
00:37:58,246 --> 00:37:59,781
So this has been a good
personal experience
1027
00:37:59,781 --> 00:38:01,316
-for you too, Dave?
-Yes, absolutely.
1028
00:38:01,316 --> 00:38:02,817
Yeah, absolutely.
1029
00:38:02,817 --> 00:38:04,352
Well, guys, I'm gonna leave you
with three words.
1030
00:38:04,352 --> 00:38:06,221
Get them back.
1031
00:38:06,221 --> 00:38:07,589
All right.
Congratulations, guys.
1032
00:38:07,589 --> 00:38:09,290
Let's go to it.
1033
00:38:09,290 --> 00:38:10,725
Thank you.
1034
00:38:10,725 --> 00:38:13,695
[cheers and applause]
1035
00:38:17,232 --> 00:38:18,366
Thank you, guys.
1036
00:38:18,366 --> 00:38:20,134
Welcome to Dave's Firehouse.
1037
00:38:20,134 --> 00:38:22,270
-Please come in.
-Thanks.
1038
00:38:24,272 --> 00:38:26,508
-This is fabulous.
-Thanks for coming in.
1039
00:38:26,508 --> 00:38:28,176
I'd like a Hook and Ladders
as well then.
1040
00:38:28,176 --> 00:38:30,245
-Two of them?
-Another Hook and Ladder?
1041
00:38:30,245 --> 00:38:31,546
Both of the smokes--
1042
00:38:31,546 --> 00:38:33,414
um, Citrus and Smoke,
1043
00:38:33,414 --> 00:38:34,616
that one was my favorite.
1044
00:38:34,616 --> 00:38:37,619
[indistinct chatter]
1045
00:38:37,619 --> 00:38:39,787
I got this. I got this.
1046
00:38:39,787 --> 00:38:42,757
Hustle it up. Yeah. There we go.
1047
00:38:42,757 --> 00:38:46,427
-Yeah.
-[cheering]
1048
00:38:46,427 --> 00:38:49,330
[indistinct chatter]
1049
00:38:49,330 --> 00:38:50,498
That's perfect.
1050
00:38:50,498 --> 00:38:52,600
Coming right behind you, baby.
1051
00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:54,235
Two bartenders working.
1052
00:38:54,235 --> 00:38:56,237
They each have complete
independent stations.
1053
00:38:56,237 --> 00:38:58,740
Now, they have the potential
to serve this room quickly,
1054
00:38:58,740 --> 00:39:02,343
which they couldn't do
during stress test.
1055
00:39:02,343 --> 00:39:04,178
Firehouse, you might
as well have some fire.
1056
00:39:04,178 --> 00:39:06,381
[indistinct chatter, laughing]
1057
00:39:06,381 --> 00:39:07,649
So good.
1058
00:39:07,649 --> 00:39:10,385
Like look pretty that is,
you guys.
1059
00:39:10,385 --> 00:39:13,821
[indistinct chatter]
1060
00:39:13,821 --> 00:39:16,691
Yours is missing a piece.
I'll be right back with it.
1061
00:39:16,691 --> 00:39:18,326
What's great is M'lisa,
1062
00:39:18,326 --> 00:39:20,728
who's actually not
tending bar tonight.
1063
00:39:20,728 --> 00:39:23,665
When bartenders are managers,
it doesn't work.
1064
00:39:23,665 --> 00:39:26,434
On the floor, M'lisa can manage.
1065
00:39:26,434 --> 00:39:28,536
Like I can't shake all of it.
1066
00:39:28,536 --> 00:39:30,371
-What do you think?
-It's awesome.
1067
00:39:30,371 --> 00:39:31,573
-Good?
-Really good.
1068
00:39:31,573 --> 00:39:33,241
Yeah, the drink is amazing.
1069
00:39:33,241 --> 00:39:35,243
-I don't know if this guy--
-[laughs]
1070
00:39:35,243 --> 00:39:37,412
---he'd get pretty honorary.
-[laughs]
1071
00:39:37,412 --> 00:39:39,914
Honorary is a different thing.
Honorary is good, right?
1072
00:39:39,914 --> 00:39:41,649
They're doing pretty good,
don't you think?
1073
00:39:41,649 --> 00:39:44,686
[cheers and applause]
1074
00:39:47,188 --> 00:39:48,000
This bar has come to life,
1075
00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:48,890
This bar has come to life,
1076
00:39:48,890 --> 00:39:52,293
and I think Dave has every
opportunity to succeed now.
1077
00:39:52,293 --> 00:39:53,928
And he's doing it.
1078
00:39:53,928 --> 00:39:55,964
Beautiful.
1079
00:39:55,964 --> 00:39:57,832
[sniffs] I smell the smoke.
1080
00:39:57,832 --> 00:39:59,233
-Yeah.
-I smell the smoke.
1081
00:40:00,635 --> 00:40:03,972
Well, look at the smile
on Victoria's face.
1082
00:40:03,972 --> 00:40:06,307
-Uh-hmm.
-You're in this together,
1083
00:40:06,307 --> 00:40:08,710
you know, and I want the success
to be both of yours.
1084
00:40:08,710 --> 00:40:10,612
Absolutely. And then some.
1085
00:40:10,612 --> 00:40:11,946
Yeah, great.
So now it's up to you, buddy.
1086
00:40:11,946 --> 00:40:13,548
-My work's done.
-Thank you.
1087
00:40:13,548 --> 00:40:14,582
-Okay?
-Thank you.
1088
00:40:14,582 --> 00:40:15,650
Aw, my pleasure.
1089
00:40:15,650 --> 00:40:16,718
Congratulations.
1090
00:40:16,718 --> 00:40:17,719
-Come back and see us.
-Thank you.
1091
00:40:17,719 --> 00:40:18,753
I will.
1092
00:40:20,455 --> 00:40:22,657
Having this place
look like this.
1093
00:40:22,657 --> 00:40:25,393
Um, I never would have dreamed
1094
00:40:25,393 --> 00:40:27,528
that it would've looked
this nice and this pretty.
1095
00:40:27,528 --> 00:40:28,763
I love it.
1096
00:40:36,004 --> 00:40:39,240
