Alright, look—we had a little “one microphone” situation at the Starbird, but in true Dewey Beach fashion, we adapted, overcame, and probably made it weirder than intended. Welcome to the first-ever Dewey Raw ASMR experience.

I’m hanging out behind the bar with Cat Monte (who may or may not be related to the owner, depending on if she needs to “pull a card” that day). We’re getting into the “brain-scratching” goodness of ASMR—perfect for all us “spicy brain” ADHD folks out there.

In this episode, we’re checking out the brand-new Pavilion (do NOT call it a tent, we paid too much for that name upgrade) and meeting the freshest manager on the block, Brie, who is tackling her restaurant job with the kind of “what could go wrong?” energy we love.

In this episode, we’re clinking, drinking, and overthinking:

* The Sounds of the Starboard: Crackin’ Natties, squeezing fresh juice, and the satisfying hiss of soda water.

* Personality Hires: We dive into the “Sarah from Texas” vibes—because every team needs a morale booster who’s better on the bench than the floor.

* Dewey Life: Why our service industry is just nicer (mostly because of the regulars), plus the “Caturday” campaign to keep Cat on the main bar.

* Life Lessons: Why “Taco Cat” is the ultimate palindrome and why Meg August thinks the world is your oyster if you’re a taco.

We’re heading into the countdown to the season, so grab a Natty Light shooter and get your ears ready. It’s chaotic, it’s juicy, and it’s definitely going viral... or at least breaking the internet in Dewey.
