Before the first drink is poured, George’s commute is already a circus — subway acrobats, candy sellers, halal carts — all before slipping into the bartender’s uniform of black pants and a tie. Then the real chaos begins: ticket printers firing, martini glasses running out, and corporate suits demanding gift cards like it’s a hostage situation.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why setting up your bar is half the battle.
• How to avoid the dreaded “100 pounds of wasted ice” scenario.
• The difference between stirring and shaking (and why it matters).
• Why tequila is taking over in 2025.
• How bartenders stay sharp, safe, and sane while planning side hustles.

Funny, sharp, and brutally real — this episode shows why bartending is the last frontier AI can’t touch.
