We're here with Garth Brooks. Trisha Yearwood's husband. Also known as Trisha Yearwood's husband
0:05
I mean he's not wrong. Friends in Little Places brand opening. Okay, I have two questions for you. Starting with, Garth, you're doing so much. Why? Like why on this
0:16
This one is a thank you. This one has been a guilt trip for me forever
0:20
This city has been so good to me. And you know, it's like the musical Oz kind of thing, right
0:26
So if you're one of the people that's lucky enough to get to live the dream, don't you owe this city
0:31
This is how we think about it. So it's been piling up on you and piling up on you that you owe this city
0:36
Let's give it something. So you notice it's not the Garth Brooks bar
0:40
Because who knows how many people know who Garth Brooks is. But everybody has sang Friends in Little Places, right
0:46
And so that's the fun part of it. And Friends in Little Places is going to live a lot longer than Garth Brooks ever will
0:51
So I think it was the right name for the bar, right place for it. The location is fantastic
0:55
And you don't get better in country music than right here in the home of country music
0:59
So I didn't think I could love you anymore. But your idea to make it safe
1:05
Because I won't come downtown at night without my husband because it's not safe
1:09
So tell me why you made that such a big priority. Because there's a lot of people that don't have a husband to come down here with, right
1:15
And you want girls to come down here and have fun. But here's the main thing, too
1:19
You make this a safe bar and it's pretty much this simple. We want sweet people in here
1:24
If you're an asshole, there are plenty of other places to go down here, right
1:28
But we want a place where people go, hey, I want to go there because I feel welcome
1:32
And I feel safe. That's what we want out of a honky-tonk
1:36
So your bartenders are all safe. Bartend training. They go through that training and then you get that sticker
1:42
Police is right next door to us. So I always think of this place as a community
1:48
But I understand why it scares some people because there are more people out there than you can count on Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday night
1:57
It's like a city moving in its own out there. So with that comes beers. I'm hoping this is a place that you feel comfortable and safe
