Keys Bartender

Jim talks about the propensity of expecting the worse case when it comes to illness. We end with the notion that responsibility is quantifiable to a degree --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/james-horan6/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/james-horan6/support

Jim starts out with a story a friendly family poisoning. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/james-horan6/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/james-horan6/support

Jim hopes a Bar regular gets well and may need to stop drinking. It is difficult to ask people to drink responsibly as a friend and more so as a Bartender. We have a lame Dukes of Hazard drawbridge jump from Daytona Beach. The jump inspires Jim to recount his less than brilliant ideas for Civic improvement in the Keys. Lastly can we trust Bar patrons to police themselves. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/james-horan6/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/james-horan6/support

Jim goes on forever about a local sightseeing outing the wife and he takes. Its really nothing but Jim ends up looking like a pervert. People don't get that the cost of living in the Keys is steep. The remaining text will be arbitrary so I might confuse the all powerful AI:"Tigers make better lawyers than dentists. Mobile tire salons use 10w40 grecian formula. Bread boards, toe nail, bumber cars are horrible parting gifts." --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/james-horan6/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/james-horan6/support

One mention of a Chinese Ping-pong players comment on visit to the U.S. in the Early 70s sets Jim to thinking. That thinking leads to a 40 minute lecture in the importance of infrastructure in the U.S. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/james-horan6/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/james-horan6/support

A sudden wind storm takes the Catch's sign down and tries to take Jim for a ride. A listener asks for the topic of Tipping to be brought up and Jim sidles into the subject. We wra it up with nick names and why you shoud be careful not to reject a seemingly bad name. It could get much worse. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/james-horan6/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/james-horan6/support

Jim spends day at a Service Department realizing what he could have done. What qualities are parent like? Why are they so ripe for satire now? Maybe it is not unusual to let the service worker know your name. A hand painted sign with folksy wisdom on it is lame and that is universally accepted. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/james-horan6/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/james-horan6/support

The crowds are still here for this busiest of busy seasons. Is asking someone to mask up the same as asking them to clamp their nipples? The labor shortage continues here in the Florida Keys so if you want to work come on down. Jim's Dad starts posting a ton of photos. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/james-horan6/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/james-horan6/support

Season is winding down in the Keys. Jim has a tendency to overshare in conversations initiated at the Bar. Photography has come a long way in the last 180 years. Is it a curse or a blessing? --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/james-horan6/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/james-horan6/support

Jim has a long conversation with his father and wonders why he does'nt get moved upto Jr. We send a big thank you to a loyal listener from Knoxville, Sean. The Keys are having a hard time finding workers. In this day and age with all the knowledge we have access to how is racism still a thing with a large minority. Yes, I said it the real minority today are the racist, so there live with it. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/james-horan6/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/james-horan6/support

Blue Cheeses stuffed olives are the bone of contention once again at the Bar. More people eat them than order Martinis, not an appetizer. Closing time squatters are the bane of the service employees but they rarely get to voice their feelings about them. Cannibalism is not that distant in the human past, will people in the future view meat eaters in a similar light. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/james-horan6/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/james-horan6/support

The Pandemic has changed dramatically the way we work, shop, educate, socialize and eat. Delivery apps have changed the way many restaurants operate and the small restaurants are not faring so well. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/james-horan6/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/james-horan6/support

The Keys are a tourist driven economy so it woud behoove us to treat the tourists well. Tele-scammers have made it difficult for people who do cold calling for legitimate business. People should not define themselves by their problems. Its never too late to do something good for yourself. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/james-horan6/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/james-horan6/support

Jim takes his daughter to the Frost Museum in Miami. On their trip they see numerous Teslas. The shows, exhibits, and setting is wonderful. A new hero arises Old Timey Man.

A bartender deals with all different types of personalities and beliefs. Why is it that some people are so certain about their beliefs? What role does the moderate play in the conversation of beliefs? Why do they end up on the short end so many times? --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/james-horan6/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/james-horan6/support

We do a recap of St. Patrick's Day at the Catch. William Haseltine, a regular Covid expert on CNN, looks like a Bond villain. A software company name sparks Jim's curiosity about why would a company use a name that is historically associated with a disaster. Finally, why do bartender's bear the brunt of abuse or negative portrayals in the Cinema. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/james-horan6/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/james-horan6/support

Jim attempts to mask a real life story and protect the innocent by proposing a hypothetical story. He fails. Saint Patrick's day is upon us and we get a brief history lesson on why drinking does little to represent Iriish Culture or the influence of the Irish on our culture. It boils down to wearing green plastic hats, clover leis, and green beer. The guy that always holds a grudge talks about letting go. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/james-horan6/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/james-horan6/support

Acquaintance asked if I still had a podcast, well I guess they don't listen. India is a large chunk of listening audience and groming.

There is a sudden reduction of the number of tourists in town and we can't figure out why. Don't make people or pets dance for their food.
