    Remember the first time you stepped into an airport bar and realized it was a world of its own? This week, we invite you to pull up a stool and join our co-bartender AT, a Mississippi native turned Texan, who shares his fascinating transition from serving lattes to crafting cocktails. Listen as AT takes us on a trip down memory lane, reliving his early days at Starbucks before discovering the greener pastures of airport bartending. With better pay, structured hours, and a delightful mix of patrons, AT's journey is filled with laughter and unexpected run-ins, including a memorable saga with a cane-wielding senior citizen determined to defy the bar's drink limits.

    The chaos doesn't stop there as we find ourselves amidst the holiday frenzy, encountering a flamboyant traveler who brings his own brand of drama to the bar. Picture a scene where this new-to-the-airport character fumbles through social blunders, trying to charm everyone from families to businesswomen. As tensions rise and accusations fly, our patient bartender Bailey keeps the peace with grace and humor, proving that sometimes the biggest challenge isn't serving drinks but managing the personalities that come with them. It's a rollercoaster of laughs and lessons on handling the unpredictable with style.

    And just when you think you've heard it all, Saturday morning at the airport bar introduces us to Marty, whose quirks and confrontations over drink presentations test the limits of bartending patience. Navigating these unpredictable waters is no small feat, but it's all part of the adventure of airport bartending, where no two days are alike. Join us for stories that bring out the humor in the hustle and the art of maintaining a welcoming atmosphere despite the occasional bump in the road. Grab your headphones, sit back, and enjoy the tales behind the bar.
