3 Cocktails In
Addicting conversations between friends who have been there, done that and still want more.
We are 3 friends who got this crazy idea to start a podcast based on our friendships, family lives, professional lives and experiences! This idea kept coming up in our conversations, especially after a cocktail or two or maybe three, and we finally decided to ACT on it!
We don't claim to be experts on too many things, but friendship? Well, we've got that down. We're making our way through major life changes, searching for work that excites us, busting myths associated with 'old' people, and keeping a sense of humor about it all.

We Learned to Type on Computers, They Were Born with Smartphones in Their Hands
Navigating the complex landscape of generational differences reveals fascinating insights about how we learn, work, and relate to each other. From Baby Boomers and Gen X to Millennials and Gen Z, each generation brings unique perspectives shaped by the world they grew up in.
Remember learning how to code in high school without really understanding why? That's the Gen X experience of technology—figuring it out as it evolved, using computers as glorified typewriters in college, and witnessing the birth of the digital world. Meanwhile, younger generations grew up immersed in technology, with Gen Z never knowing a world without smartphones and instant information access.
What really stands out is how these technological differences have shaped our approaches to work and life. While Gen X valued job stability and "paying dues," younger generations prioritize learning opportunities and fair compensation—they'll readily move on if a position isn't serving their growth or financial goals. Their fearlessness and self-advocacy challenge traditional workplace cultures in ways that benefit everyone.
Perhaps most remarkable is Gen Z's social consciousness and brand loyalty. They're incredibly thoughtful about where they spend their money, supporting companies that align with their values on social justice, climate change, and other pressing issues. This approach would have been nearly impossible for previous generations who lacked immediate access to information about corporate practices.
The beauty of our multi-generational world is that we can learn from each other. Gen X's adaptability, Millennials' bridge-building between analog and digital worlds, and Gen Z's bold innovation all contribute to collective progress. Rather than focusing on stereotypical differences, we're discovering how these distinct perspectives enrich our workplaces, families, and communities.

P.S. Isn't our intro music great?! Yah, we think so too. Thank you, Ivy States for "I Got That Wow".
All right.
Speaker 2:I got that. Wow, who wants some heads up right now? We got that turn it up loud. I know you're wondering how.
Speaker 1:I got that. Wow, here I go, here I go, coming. I can't ever stop. I'm a tour de force running. Get me to the top. I don't need a Hello.
Speaker 3:Hello, Get me to the top.
Speaker 2:I don't need a Hello Hello ladies, how is everyone?
Speaker 4:Good, and how about you?
Speaker 3:I'm good, except I'm dealing with some technical glitches on my end. Do I look okay? Yeah, you look good. We do do, um, you do, we can see you. Oh, that's good, because I can't see me. I'm looking at a green box. That's what my screen looks like.
Speaker 4:So always seems like we always have something, something weird yeah I don't know why something weird.
Speaker 5:Yeah, I don't know why, oh well, well, this is three cocktails in a podcast where we always have technical difficulty.
Speaker 4:That is our tagline.
Speaker 3:Maybe it should be yeah, technically challenged, but here for the ride right, I know we usually get it figured out, we honestly do.
Speaker 4:And that kind of segues into into our topic this evening which we are going to talk about the different generations. You know, describe them, define them. And you one thing about us. You know Gen Xers, you know we, you know, morphed along with technology. You know we learned it along the way. You know didn't always have cell phones and gosh, we didn't always have a microwave, for instance. You know silly things like that. So you know a lot of differences between how we learn technology. And you know Gen Z and younger, yeah, does so well with technology.
Speaker 3:I remember my first computer class in high school and it was coding Same, oh my God. It was during basketball season. I was a junior, there was a really brilliant girl on the basketball team and, of course you know, the high school didn't have enough computers for everybody to have their own, so you had groups of three huddling around one massive computer and two of us teamed up with Eileen, and that's the only way I got through that class Just tagged my name right on the back of everything else, because I had no clue what was going on. None.
Speaker 5:Yeah, and it just seemed. So, what is this? What are we doing? Yeah, where is this going to? Where are we going to use this Right?
Speaker 4:You know, a lot of the programs that we did make or code. You know, we we had a real hard time, as I remember, just like you're saying, deciding how is this? You know, how are we going to use this? Like, I think some of the things I made were, you know, banners, you know long banners of some. You know, welcome to something. You know was one thing. I tried to make a you know graphic of a kangaroo hop across the screen and it was all. You know what I mean and that was the thing. I agree, it was hard to decide. You know, what are we supposed to use this for?
Speaker 3:Yeah, and I think in college I used it basically as a glorified typewriter. Yes, right, because we didn't really do any research on it. You still went to the library, yeah.
Speaker 5:Yeah, I think that was the only thing that we did with it in college is that we could go to the computer lab to type up our paper, type it, save it and print it.
Speaker 4:Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I know very interesting. So, jen, you know, we all know baby boomers, you know, up to the mid 1960s, gen X, 1960s to very early 1980s, um, and right after that we have the um millennials and you know, I swear they used to be called the gen y. I know they were, you know, because they asked why? They asked why, and so they were gen y and then we had gen z. Anymore they get called the millennials, that time from you know um okay Time out.
Speaker 3:You associated them being Gen Y because they asked why I thought it was Y2K. I thought it was turning and became millennials, probably why it got to the millennials.
Speaker 4:No's how it became millennials, probably why it got to be millennials, but no, it really was. I'd heard that before. Then why? Because that's why?
Speaker 3:That's why Interesting.
Speaker 5:Did not know that.
Speaker 4:Y2K didn't come until a few years into Gen Z, correct, um correct, because I I believe jen. Now I have to look at my notes I think.
Speaker 3:I think ava at 1999 is considered the very last of the millennials millennials ends by two at 2000.
Speaker 4:Yeah, yeah, so she is very end Yep, and I've noticed with the years they kind of overlap a little too because technically you know, you know I think she is very different than my older two, who are definitely millennials. Millennials, oh yeah.
Speaker 3:And there's only three and a half years difference between them. But Right, yeah.
Speaker 4:Yep, I don three and a half years difference between them, but right, yeah, yep, I know. So let's see here, you know, like, the difference. If you looked at the difference between gen z and millennials, um, you know, definitely both tech savvy, but millennials, almost like us too, you know technology. They were still growing with new technology all the time, whereas they started with cell phones, right it was just for calling, just for calling and then texting, right, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4:Whereas gen z that's all they have known is a smartphone and all of the same technology we have today. So that's one difference, another difference between Millennials and Gen Z. Facebook, instagram, where Gen Z likes the visual, tiktok, snapchat, those kind of platforms which I thought was probably true.
Speaker 3:You know also when you talk about that Facebook Instagram requires typing sharing thoughts Snapchat, tiktok, not so much typing sharing thoughts Snapchat.
Speaker 4:Yeah, tiktok, not so much. No, it's picture or video recording.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, not a lot of Kind of feeding into that idea that the Gen Z not big talkers on the phone, don't want to call anybody.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 4:Yeah yeah, social issues are a little different. The Gen Z is often seen as more vocal and active in advocacy and activism, particularly on issues like climate change and social justice, and I would have to say that's probably true, I think, even for you know, we've talked some about this even the brands they use, they will navigate towards social issues that they like and away from things and companies that they don't like. Their, you know, their political stance political, social, environmental, all that kind of things, yep yeah.
Speaker 5:Yeah, it's a focus. They have a heightened focus on what brands am I going to attach my brand to? Their personal brand is very important, not not I mean not to say that I don't know. I mean many people would say that not just that generation, but that is something that um has certainly risen to the top and it's so much easier to see with all of the social media that we have and the visibility that we have with companies and corporations.
Speaker 3:I think that there's a that the millennials and Gen Z economically feel like they're not making as much money as their parents, that they are disadvantaged at a number of different categories for whatever reason. So they have figured out early on money talks and so they're very particular about where they're going to spend their dollars and what companies align with them, and I think that's fantastic. I just commend them for that. Do you know how much work that would have been? Am I back.
Speaker 5:You're back.
Speaker 4:You're unfrozen. Try your thought again.
Speaker 3:Okay, yeah, I was just saying that it's so much easier for them to see and choose to use their money with companies that align with their vision, their money with companies that align with their vision and how much harder it would have been for us to figure that out, because we we aren't instantly.
Speaker 3:We would have had to research, you know, and that meant going to the library, digging in archives, looking, you know, up a whole lot of stuff. So I I think that that's really awesome, that, yes, they're global, they have so much technology at their fingertips, they're well aware and they, they make decisions.
Speaker 4:Yeah, we could take a note from them.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yep, for sure.
Speaker 4:Yeah.
Speaker 5:Yep for sure. They just, they, just they have so much what you said. They have so much more at their fingertips. I mean, if it would be nice, wouldn't it be great, to be able to go back with, to go back and live those years that we lived with the modern technologies that we have today?
Speaker 5:I mean there's some exception of the video camera documenting everything we did right we are grateful that we did not have, uh, the cameras, the cell phone, everything uh, when we were, you know, living our best lives in those early days, but but yeah.
Speaker 5:I don't know, I don't know. Sometimes I look. So here's an example. Sometimes I look at the younger generations and again, I'm always going to cite these influencers that I follow, these women who live in Nashville and they are in their 30s, I'm going to say mid-30s, and these women are printing money, as influencers they are, and so this life that they're living, they're having babies and they've got everything you need and everything you don't need, but they think that they need right, right, and that's not bitter that I just said that, but um, but I think this you know, and they're out, they're out, they're doing these pregnancy shoots and they've all got the fabulous fashions and I will open our album and I will look at pictures of me pregnant and wearing the tent dress you know, or whatever.
Speaker 5:We didn't look like that, no, no, and we would have been so fabulous.
Speaker 4:Would we have?
Speaker 5:Yes, well, I think we're going to say those fashions didn't exist. Then, right, yeah, you know just all of the. You know they're putting together their baskets to take to the nurses that, you know, to the nurses station. And I'm not saying that I would do all of those things, but it is just. It is a completely different world and I'm sure a lot of it is driven because we've got social media. So people put these things out there and then everybody's like, well, I want to do that.
Speaker 4:Well, I want to do, even though I can't afford that.
Speaker 5:I want to do that, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I'm really glad in those instances that we didn't. Yeah, I'm really glad in those instances that we didn't. I mean you wearing the tent dress. I remember the first photos that were taken of me with the baby. There was no makeup bag that came with me. There was hair, you know, off to the. It was just looking like the big glasses, the big glasses. Oh, I didn't even have my glasses on, you know, it just was pretty motley and you know that's just fine. Um, but yes, because they have the ability to see what other people are doing.
Speaker 4:Yeah, yeah, and then they do the same thing. Yeah, I would not have been able to afford the big. You know. You see some of the maternity pictures. They have these big, long flowing. You know, dresses that have to cost some money. I mean, yeah, yeah, I got. I think I bought two dress, two maternity dresses, at Walmart. That couldn't have been very. You know, again, tent dresses and yeah, it's interesting that they're very beautiful they are.
Speaker 3:You know some of the photo shoots they do I just always, you know yeah, it kind of brings me to one of the things that I really like about the younger generations. In contrast, if we want to go all the way back to when we were having our babies, I would not have wanted a pregnancy photo shoot. I felt like a round oompa loompa through the whole thing. I don't think I was very aware and necessarily really super concerned about the gaining of the weight and how I looked. I did much better with Ava. By then I think I had started to go to the gym and didn't gain as much weight.
Speaker 3:But I think younger generations women in their 30s and even younger they do a far, far better job of maintaining a good, healthy lifestyle. Healthier, they know how to work out, they're doing it. I mean, I saw something the other day and it was a whole spoof on the billy blanks. You know tybo, yeah, dvds, that that we used to do and some of the stupid that you know. But that was that was what we did. Now there's so much more out there and there's so much better about. What can I do at home? I can use resistance bands, I can go to yoga, I can do Pilates. I can do it online. I can ride a bike in my living room, all these different things. I think that they do a far better job of taking care of themselves for the long run care of themselves for the long run.
Speaker 5:It seems to be more of a priority, and I think that's one of the one of the priorities that you hear a lot of people talking about younger generations and and ours too, is that work isn't everything, and when people are, you know, chasing this elusive work-life balance, which I think we all will just say it really doesn't exist. It's going to always be like this there will be times where you have to focus more at work and there will be times where you have to focus more family, and as long as you've got a structure where it can flex, that's, that's balance, probably but there's big picture balance, short term balance.
Speaker 5:Yeah, right, yeah, but there there's just more focus on, focus on. You know, my work is not my life, and we learned a lot from that.
Speaker 3:Late, late right late very late yeah, I saw a great video. I thought it was great.
Speaker 3:I'm I think I've said a number of times that, as I've started this whole new career as 50-something person, I'm taking pages from the younger generation on whatever and a woman was saying that and I think it does hold true that the younger people job hop, as we would call it, for two reasons. If they're not learning and they're not earning, you know, at their position they're going to go somewhere else. You know the learning part. Am I learning skills that I can see where I'm going to be able to progress in this position, to get me to my goal, or am I earning more money where I'm at? And if those two things aren't happening, they're out of there. And I we did not do that. I remember well and I even remember freaking out when my kids wanted to leave a position before they'd been there a couple of years. And they're like, they're like no, why, why do I have to stay? This is I don't want to say. It means to an end, but the job is not their life.
Speaker 4:Yeah, yeah, we thought we needed to stay, get some good training and be able to move to a higher position based on what we. What it took, you know, possibly years to learn and then job, hop to something higher and better, you know, or try to get a better position within the same company Never occurred, I think, to most of us that we could. Just we learned enough here. Let's move on to you know, something else. Maybe laterally, some go backwards, you know, honestly, sometimes, just because this isn't what they want, they're going to go find something else. And we would, I would have been scared to death, you know what I mean. To do that, yeah.
Speaker 3:Well, and I also think who did the hiring when we were, who were we applying to? They were the silent generation, the baby boomers that were ahead of us. Loyalty mattered, yeah, Paying your dues mattered, Right, and I think that you know, as we phase out and and we've I think we adapt. I'm going to say it, I think we adapt far better than baby boomers. We're like, yeah, okay, why not? Sort of thing. So I think that it has become much more the norm.
Speaker 4:Yeah, I do too. It kind of irritates me sometimes when you know my kids all say things like oh, you know, you don't know technology, or you, you don't, you know you can't do do technology. I think that's boomers. They really were scared of it, won't try anything new. Obviously, that's a generalization. Some will. I think we were very easily. You know, we know how to Google, you know we aren't afraid of it and can figure it out, whereas I think it's you know boomers that you know have more of that issue than I think we do.
Speaker 3:I think we figured out we were going to have to figure out how to do it, we figured out.
Speaker 5:Yeah, and it was all being developed while we were early in our careers, so we were using it as it was evolving. These younger generations they were born into it already existed. It was just put into their hands and you know, and so it was just like learning a language when you're yeah in sixth grade.
Speaker 5:Yeah, so yeah, I am, and I've said this to Bo, I've said this to Bill I am not going to be that person ever who will say, oh yeah, I don't, I don't know how to do that, I don't want to, I don't want to learn that we will age more gracefully and we will get more out of our lives the more in tune and educated um with all, educated with all of the technology that's going to continue to evolve.
Speaker 5:So, whatever is new that's coming. It's like, yeah, tell me about it, show it to me, let me use it, because I am not going to be that person.
Speaker 4:Yeah, yep, yes, very much. I might not do it very well, that could be true.
Speaker 3:But, and if my kids are around, I'm still gonna play the old oh help your mother card, but for myself I will do what I can you know, to figure it out.
Speaker 4:Yeah, yeah, I had a thought when you were talking about that that you know, gen Z, you know, is more conscious of, you know, making healthy choices and healthy lifestyles. I would have to agree the difference between you know what? I see my kids now, as they have babies and small children, they're doing all the research. I sometimes even think it's overkill, you know. But we, I mean, did we ever pay attention to what we were feeding them? Heck, no, you know what I mean. That it was just you know um we didn't I remember getting a?
Speaker 3:little worked up with my go ahead. I remember getting a little worked up with my dad giving my kids drinks of pop at two and a banana split, you know, and and oh they're, oh, they're fine, oh, amy, you're fine. And so I can see I don't have any grandkids, but I maybe that's just our cross to bear, as, as young parents, we have to listen to what our I mean, I mean we listen, we don't have to do Right. So when I say we have to listen to our parents, yeah, I meant like you're just going to hear it. You're under no obligation to do any of it but yeah, it goes back to that.
Speaker 4:We didn't really have the resources, you know, I mean sure Everybody knew you were feeding your kids, you know, meat, vegetables, fruits, not a lot of junk. But I know Madison does so much research on possible allergen foods you know what I mean and introducing them very slowly and paying attention. It's like, oh my gosh, no, who would have just been try this. Yeah, so it's like, oh my gosh, no, who would have just been try this? Yeah. So it's just interesting, they just have some so many more. You know so many resources to look. You know things they follow that you know. Yeah, so it's just interesting, very different.
Speaker 5:Yeah, it's good that the information at our fingertips is being used, and I think they're also risk takers, so much more than and part of it is that willingness or that ability to just say this isn't serving me, I'm going to move on from it, going, going back to the job situation. Right, that to us, would have been very risky behavior, yeah, yeah. So, um there, oh there, there's a fearlessness with them. That is a good quality. Them, that is a good quality.
Speaker 3:It can be a good stand up for themselves yeah yeah, whereas you know we've talked before, we wouldn't say half the stuff that we've heard in, you know, in a work setting or somebody being so bold. Yeah, we think it's bold there, I said it. I, I think it's bold. They're not wrong, so they're really good self-advocates. Yeah, just don't make it. Call you on the phone to tell you?
Speaker 5:yeah, we would have just sucked it up and taken it and just moved on where they very easily to call out you know, things are going on, yeah, yeah I remember so I don't remember which recession it was I think it might have been 2008, 2009, somewhere and people were losing their jobs and you know every companies were tightening their belt and letting people go. And I worked for a small company at the time and I want to say we went I mean very, very small company, like 15 people, maybe 18 people people, and we went from 18 to 13,. Um, in in a in a layoff, and the people who were being let go they were the, the, the, probably the youngest in the group, and, um, I remember one of the oh and so. Then, for a while, salaries were frozen for a while and actually I think salaries were reduced for a little while. I mean, 2008 was a tough.
Speaker 5:That was a tough year. So I think we all took a pay cut and I remember a few of them talking and I was just kind of on the fringe of the conversation and they were just talking about how ridiculous it was and how awful it was and how, how much they were being taken advantage, and I said you guys, we're lucky to have this job. Remember all those people that got let go. So I know our, our salaries were reduced, but we're lucky to have this job and they looked at me like I had just said the most offensive thing ever. And then I was shocked because I'm like what? What are you shocked at what is? And I really. I mean, I felt that that was really true. We were lucky to have the job. You can sit and grouse about the fact that we had to take a pay cut. It'll come back. If you don't like it, then go somewhere else.
Speaker 4:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3:It is interesting. That still is a sticking point, for people Know somebody that they're kind of in a. The company would like to consider themselves a startup, but they're in a really big industry and they're kind of have a niche. You know a hold on this on their product and they had mandatory overtime and they did not pay people for it. So, in essence, employees took a 20% pay cut because they had to work 50-hour weeks. That did not go over very well, but they stuck through it because they thought it was.
Speaker 3:You know, this is what we have to do to get us from A to B. Okay, so now they're at B. They've been working at B for a while and there's rumors that the company is going to do it again. And now the people like nope, you are not doing that to us again. You said that that's what we needed to do to get to hear from there. But I'm out. You know I this. You are not giving me in return more days off. You're not giving me flexibility for this. You're just telling us we have to work an extra 10 hours a week and and we're getting nothing for it, and the fact that you didn't figure out how to better use the dollars that we have and hire somebody to. You know no, there's no, and I think I'm, I think I agree with them. You know that's an error on management's part, that they can't figure out how to make things work. You can't hold people, you know, or?
Speaker 4:you would think you come out the other side and then they get a raise, better benefits, something after weathering through the bad time and it just went back to the same old thing. Yeah, that would be disappointing the second time around. Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3:Yeah, that's interesting yeah.
Speaker 4:I wonder if people do feel lucky to have the job. I don't know, yeah, I don't. I don't think so anymore. I think, you know, I don't know, I don't really pay much attention to unemployment, but it would seem like it's fairly easy to get a job. I think that's the thing I think people think.
Speaker 3:Well, I think unemployment's up and we're going to watch, we're going to see what happens. What happens, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 5:Well, again, entrepreneurship is core to the millennial generation. Entrepreneurship is core to the millennial generation so much so that there's now a degree. You can go to college and get a degree in entrepreneurship. And, yeah, they're just more apt to well, I'll just start my own company or I'll just freelance or work for myself. So that's where that creativity comes into play as well. And again, that's something that we all have looked at and said, yeah, I like it. Yep.
Speaker 3:It was interesting I think I don't know if it was in the pre-meeting or if we. Stacy, you started talking about it right at the beginning that the younger generations are known to be more creative and I was like, hmm, you know, is that really true? Because I think we have some wonderfully creative people that have thought up all these technological advances right, but I I do think that those younger generations are more personally creative. How can I make, how can I think out of the box? I think? I don't. Think they have boxes.
Speaker 3:I don't even think that the phrase thinking out of the box applies to them. There is no box, and they are looking at. You know what's the next move? How do I get from here to there, what do I feel that I'm really good at, and how can I make that into something?
Speaker 4:Yeah, yeah. I mean, you see all the younger people on TikTok, you know monetizing their brand. That is obviously not something we would have ever considered. Even if we had the opportunity, I don't think that we would have done that as easily as they seem to do.
Speaker 3:That's what models and celebrities did. Yes, right, not as normal people. Yeah, finger bunnies yeah, you know, I agree.
Speaker 4:Yeah, yep.
Speaker 3:I don't know. I think there's a lot to be learned, and the millennials millennials not so much. I don't think they're taking too much of a bad hit right now. They've you know. But Gen Z does take a lot of crap, yeah, Blanket statements and stereotypes. But I think that there's a lot that we can be learning from them. That would make our lives better, Certainly.
Speaker 4:Yeah.
Speaker 5:I agree?
Speaker 4:Yep, yeah, I don't think all of the you know focus on social media has been bad. Obviously I'm you know, I think there is some you know the fact that they've had, you know, been in, had social media for most of their lives and, and you know, been on their phone, addicted to their phone a lot, but there's still positives to it.
Speaker 3:I also you know as well. Well, I'm really intrigued to see how the millennials and the gen z raise their kids with social media, having been through it themselves, because we, we didn't go through it now, so they yeah will they do it differently? Yeah, how will they do it differently? What is, what is their answer?
Speaker 4:yeah, yep, okay. Well, very interesting conversation about all of the yes groups.
Speaker 3:So do we have any shots of things that we've learned from younger generations generations? I'll go ahead. It's a stupid one, but you know I've gotten to this place in my life where I'm making some better money and I have always loved skincare products and you know lotions and makeups and whatever. But I've watched enough now that there are some people that are like, yeah, this little NYX, this NYX brand that's at Target and CVS and Walgreens, that is just so inexpensive, comparatively speaking. I've come full circle.
Speaker 3:I'm going back to some of these things Lip liners, eyebrow fillers. I have decided that I have wasted $11 on things before. I'm going to give $11 eyebrow pencil a shot instead of going out and buying the $32 one. So thank you to the influencers that I have been watching and seeing on the different social media sites and and just normal people that are saying I've tried this, this worked. I've tried this. This is crap, don't buy it. I'll report back and see how the new eyebrows work in the next couple of weeks, see if I can handle it and see if I don't look like I drew them on, you know, with a big old sharpie. So try the inexpensive stuff on occasion yeah, that's a good idea yeah, you feel like you're not wasting as much money.
Speaker 4:If you don't like it, yes, how about you guys?
Speaker 3:what do you got? You're not wasting as much money if you don't like it. Yes, how about you guys?
Speaker 5:What do you got?
Speaker 3:Well, I wasn't prepared for that tonight, for that Risk on it, that narrow, narrow. Yeah, I actually didn't have a shot tonight, that's hey, you know what? We can even use that as something we've learned from the younger generations.
Speaker 5:I'm not sure they do a lot of shots like we did, like we did Sorry.
Speaker 4:Oh, I think when they turn 21 or before they turn 21,. I think they're doing their fair share. Yes, I do think they party different than we did, you know, admittedly. So they at that age did a lot better job of having the designated driver and being responsible and you know, having a party at a, you know, at a residence and staying there and not driving and that kind of thing than we ever did.
Speaker 3:Well, I mean I and I'm not talking about when people turn 21,. Well, I mean I and I'm not talking about when people turn 21,. You know, I'm talking about going out with my daughters and they're ordering a glass of wine. Yeah, I don't think I got into wine until I was in my thirties. That wasn't something we did, but there was many a night that we started our pre-party at home and went to the bar and the first thing we did was order a round of shots. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So that's our shot. Avoid the shots, avoid the shots, avoid the shots. At the bar, nothing good ever comes from them just not worth it.
Speaker 3:No. What was the last time somebody offered you a shot? Were you on vacation?
Speaker 5:Kitty, no, I think we were up at Willie McCoy's one night and Bo and his buddies were up there and Bo doesn't drink, but the other guys they like to have a few and they like to do shots and so, like mama kitty, um, homie Bill, that's what they call.
Speaker 5:Bill, um, let's do a shot and we're like dude, I am not gonna do a shot. And they're they're always trying to get us to do shots. We're like no, I'm not gonna, not gonna do a shot. And they're they're always trying to get us to do shots.
Speaker 3:I'm like no, not good, Not going to do a shot. Yeah, cause they wouldn't want to see you sip it no it's too painful for me trying to do a shot. How about you Stacy?
Speaker 4:Oh, I don't know.
Speaker 3:Crash of your kids that you would have done one right crash of your kids that you would have done one right.
Speaker 4:Oh, it's been sooner than that. It's certainly been sooner than that. I one football game this fall. We did a shot board so, and it was even coincidentally so like yeah, the the shot ski, exactly.
Speaker 4:And there was this group of people near us tailgating and and they were doing the shot ski and so four of us went over and we did the shot ski with them. So that wasn't that long ago. What was it? What was the alcohol? Oh, I have no idea, I don't know. Fireball, it wasn't fireball, I don't know, it was something gross, I don't, I don't yeah. Yeah, I'm not a big fan of fireball or any kind of shot. No, yeah, because you remember, I'm the weak drink drinker. You know, like everybody. You know we talk about cocktails and wine and whatever, but my cocktails are very weak. I like to taste more pop than I do, yeah, than I do alcohol. So, yeah, shots, I don alcohol. Shots, I don't like it, but I don't turn them down very often.
