We’re talking breakfast drinks. You a fan of drinking in the morning? So are we! This one will make you thirsty! Prost!

Our podcast is officially Over the Hill (aka we’ve recorded 40 episodes). We’re old! It’s been a fun time recording and telling you about running/owning bars. We’ve been away from the podcast for a month now, so there’s lots to catch you up on.

Oktoberfest has come and gone, but our hangover is still holding strong. Chris and Ashley recap Oktoberfest across all seven of the Prost! German Pubs and boy, are we tired!

We talked about Oktoberfest history and what we have experienced in Munich at the proper Oktoberfest, but we haven’t shown all the magic that happens behind the curtain at good ol’ Prost! Phinney Ridge. Ashley and her staff have a lot to do to get ready for the big weekend and we break it down… The prep, the staffing, the showtime, and even the aftermath! It’s a whirlwind for sure. Prost!

We’re aware we’re repeating ourselves a bit, but you can’t stop Chris from a good metaphor. Chris just got back from his fishing trip in Canada, which yeah, we’re all aware of cos he won’t shut the fuck up about it. So, he using fishing as a metaphor for running a bar… catching customers, luring customers, setting the hook, blah, blah, blah… Plus, all our usual ramblings haha

Off the rails, once again! Hopefully this wraps up the stories of Chris and Bretto’s fishing endeavors up in Canada. We’ve been hearing about it for months now, but this episode wraps up everything. Bretto is our guest and they give us their fishing report from their much anticipated trip. Bretto caught the biggest fish, but Chris caught the most fish… so, errr a win-win! We also touch on what it’s like to run and manage a remote fishing resort. Lots of organization, planning, and large helicopters to get the job done!

This podcast has really started to go all over the place, so take a listen to Ashley and Chris ramble on about a whole slew of nonsense and then eventually get to our subject of the day: creating regulars. Speaking Canadian, orcas (again), pest control horror stories, kids in bars, eye drops… the list goes on. And, you’ll finally hear about regulars and how important they are to our success. Prost!

Chris explains to Ashley why trademarks are so important to an iconic brand like Prost! and the process of how he acquired the trademark and what he has to do on a regular basis to keep the trademark. If you have a brand, make sure you protect it… Chris swears you won’t regret it! To be honest, the first half of the episode is really just Chris and Ashley talking about all the fun things they’ve been up to. Oh, and yeah, you’ll learn about hard pants…
