Bruno walks in with a mischievous grin. Bum-da! Are you telling a story or am I
0:09
I'm sorry, but we seem to go on. There we go. You have your sound check, friends
0:17
I'm a big fan of vodka soda. Where did you get vodka soda from
0:21
So, my mom very much loved a thing called Lynchburg Lemonades, and back in the day we thought it was cool
0:27
to keep whiskey sours in Lynchburg Lemonades. That and tequila sunrises. At a certain point in my life I was like
0:33
nope, no more sweet drinks. I'm done. It's either vodka, soda. Vodka? Vodka
0:40
A lot of people don't actually know you can be a vodka connoisseur
0:44
Two things that people don't know that you can actually be a connoisseur of
0:48
because culturally they're a lot more significant that people give them credit for
0:52
than just shooting them. One, sipping tequila. Two, not sipping tequila is different
0:58
Two, mezcal. And, above all of them, it's vodka. Vodka! What people don't know is that you can actually make vodka
1:07
out of corn, wheat, potato. Potato. Grape. There's a huge vodka community
1:14
and it's so funny because you can actually walk in and be like, so do you have any potato vodka
1:19
You can literally walk in and be like, do you have any potato vodka? And if the bartender doesn't know what you're talking about
1:24
and you want to drink vodka, and you don't want to be taking shots or have just vodka cranberries
1:28
you should probably... Take a big sip, man. But what I admire about you
1:35
is I feel like you are a woman about town. And not even a woman about town
1:39
a woman about cons. Because you do more than even I do
1:42
And I don't even know how you keep it together, how you function
1:47
how you just go through your day-to-day activities with all these different cons
1:51
Does it matter about the company that's throwing the con and how your daily routine is? Yes
1:56
You do them all. So it's interesting. I was actually talking to someone today. Fun
2:02
About 2019. Okay. And it was a wild year because I, for the first time
2:09
did almost every single major con. A lot of times when it comes to live events
2:13
I'm hired to be the host and the interviewer. You know, sometimes I have a scripster that comes in
2:20
and does the research on top of my research. And then other times, I'm putting three days in
2:25
watching a whole IMDb all over again, finding good questions and making sure
2:31
I've really asked something the fans want to know. Correct. Without disrespecting the talent
2:36
As a journalist, I feel like it's disrespectful not to be prepared
2:40
But also as a journalist, we hope that in our being prepared
2:44
that our folks are just as comfortable. Because that's, in my personal opinion
2:47
how you get a good interview. Well, and also too, I like to also stalk Instagram accounts
2:53
Oh, I didn't get to that part. But yeah, no. Because to me, Instagram is the most current thing
2:58
that you're doing. And that gives me a clue on what you're interested in
3:02
And you can always talk about dogs and babies if it goes awry
3:06
As long as it goes, I mean, yes. Did you never know? There could always be that one question
3:10
they weren't prepared for or didn't know how to answer or they said something off the wall
3:14
Knowing about if they have dogs or babies. Oh, yeah. A family or if they traveled somewhere recently
3:19
or they like a certain food. I can always connect with someone if they like food. Oh, yeah
3:23
Or drinks. Paul Bettany, his love of sunglasses, good music and muscle cars
3:30
That's interesting. Angelique, I appreciate you taking the time to drink with us and talk with us
3:35
I appreciate you. Of course. That drink is for you and I want you to enjoy
3:40
Oh, I am
