What wild job did Brittany have before Hooters?

Martin 0:00
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...
Uncle Si 0:33
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.
Martin 0:42
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.
Uncle Si 0:57
But one in particular saw you and said, you're a fit.
Martin 1:00
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?
John-David 1:37
I've only been once. Now I can't wait. Delightfully tactful.
Martin 1:44
Delightfully tactful.
Uncle Si 1:45
Si, have you ever been to a Hooters establishment here in the United States of America?
John-David 1:50
No, to be honest, no, I haven't. And I'm shocked that I'm saying that. Well, good for you.
Martin 1:55
Why are you shocked you're saying that? Because I love women. Oh. Okay.
John-David 2:03
I've always drove by them.
Martin 2:05
Yeah. Okay. Just never pulled in.
Uncle Si 2:08
Never pulled in. My grandmother went to Hooters once.
Martin 2:10
For real?
Uncle Si 2:11
Yeah, it was an accident.
Martin 2:14
The same one that got caught in a high-speed chase?
Uncle Si 2:15
Yes, my very Church of Christ grandmother and three other old ladies were on a church trip, and they were like, that looks like a nice restaurant. Serves wings.
Martin 2:26
They had no idea. Serves wings and much, much more. They have not been back.
Uncle Si 2:31
They have not been back.
Martin 2:33
Did they eat?
Uncle Si 2:33
I was about to say, did they stay? I don't know the full story.
Martin 2:36
We may have to have your grandma in here one day, man.
John-David 2:40
No, we need to have our own.
Martin 2:42
Thelma and Louise. Yeah. I mean, they got spike stripped in West Monroe. Not many people have ever done that. She's accidentally been to a Hooters. That's so impressive.
John-David 2:52
Yeah.
Uncle Si 2:53
She's 92, so she's probably got some stories.
John-David 2:56
Even more impressive. You don't think of stuff. You needed a job. I needed a job. I had no business turning away an income. When I'm watching Western movies, they always talk about how bad, about, okay, well, she works in a saloon. Hey, folks, you got to live, okay? Okay. Got to have a job. Got to have a job.
Martin 3:18
I even told them I could, because like I said, I had applied to every restaurant in the area. And I even told them when they called me that I couldn't start for another week. Just in case Chili's called, you're like, I'm going there. Someone else was going to call me, and they didn't. And like I said, I was in no position to turn away an income. I'm not proud of it, but I had to do what I had to do. Well, and the reason this all got brought up, because apparently our friends over at Hooters are in the news because they're trying to rebrand their restaurant to a family-friendly atmosphere. Yeah. Well, I read the article. According to them, the original owners are back involved who sold it, and they still own like 22 of them, and theirs are a much different standard.
Martin 4:06
They didn't have a standards policy in place. They had no policies in place. There you go. See?
Uncle Si 4:11
There's somebody who worked there. I'm pretty sure there's like a Netflix special on how unhealthy a work environment it was.
Martin 4:17
It was pretty much one of the most toxic jobs I've ever had. There you go. How long did you work there? Four months. Four months. And then a friend of mine that I had met in college, she actually got me a job at Valvoline changing oil. So...
