Chapter 1: What wild job did Brittany have before Hooters?
All right, welcome back to the podcast, ladies and gentlemen. Yay. We've got my wife in here with us, Brittany. You brought it up. I brought up a weird fact about weird jobs and tips whenever we were talking about that. So then that led some of our producers... I guessed. You did guess. I mean, it was pretty easy. Dear...
Si, do you know where Brittany worked in college? Was it in college? Yes. Do you know where Brittany worked in college? No, I don't. Are you excited to find out? Yeah.
The list is long, actually. I was just about to say. But the first stop.
This was my first stop. And I do want to preface this by saying. I didn't really have a choice. I had applied to every restaurant in the area.
But one in particular saw you and said, you're a fit.
But one in particular was a first. And I was in no... To be fair, that kind of speaks volumes.
Yeah, you had to have a job.
I had to have a job. It was actually very crucial. I didn't have help. No one was helping me at the time. So, and... I had just got an apartment with my best friend and her mom, who I've known since I was very little, was the co-signer. So I was like, I'm not going to let her down. I've got to get an income.
So you decided you needed to be delightfully tacky. Yet unrefined. Isn't that the catchphrase? Isn't that what they put on the back of those shirts?

Chapter 2: What are the secrets from Brittany's time at Hooters?
If you need your oil changed or your tires rotated, I can also help you with that.
See?
I have so many more questions.
See? No, no. See, that's what this is. This is great. It really is. I did what I had to do. Well, no, no. That's what most people do. They don't think about, well, wait a minute. Hey, shut up, you idiot. You ain't never been in a barn where you need a job.
Yeah.
Don't look down on me.
Most would rather sit home and collect a check rather than go work something that they feel is beneath them.
Because I fucked that my whole life.
Yeah.

Chapter 3: How did Brittany transition from Hooters to Valvoline?
Chapter 4: What toxic work environment did Brittany experience?
Yeah. Yeah. Whatever were you doing to run out of time? No, I'm kidding. It's a family show, man. I'm kidding. It's a family show. We're talking about Hooters and Cowboys.
I was just about to say. Oh, boy.
We're talking about... It is a family show. Well, and that is... We're talking about all things that make a family. The clean, the dirty, the messy. It doesn't matter.
And there's somebody listening to this that is... Right now, driving to a job. That they hate. That they hate. There's a way out. And they're sitting there going, I'm going to this. I hate it. The boss is a jerk. It might even be, probably in your case, you would say that that job was a little demeaning. Yeah. No, probably more than a little.
Let me tell you, we had to stand and I can only speak for my Hooters. I don't know about all the rest of the Hooters, but Netflix will speak for you in the beat. Like when we would get there at the beginning of our shift, we all had to stand in a line and our manager would come one by one and make us do a spin to make sure that we were up to par for the shift. As far as looks are concerned.
Mama, you want to stand up and take a spin?
Stop it, Martin.
I wore this big old baggy shirt.
I'm like, no, I'm not going to. Go ahead. But there's somebody that's headed to a job they hate. Yeah. And, I mean, your story is one of, hey, you might have to go change oil instead of do that job. And it's coming, that opportunity. And then how do you like it now? Yeah, but that was an upgrade.
