A zeros Journey Podcast
The service industry is one of the largest fringe communities in the world. It is filled with substance abuse, depression, and a death rate that competes with the NFL and pro wrestling. From all walks of life, these misfits become life long friends, family, and lovers. Hear about it from the inside. Players include, Justin "Tio" Morales. 27 years in the business.

Originated from a welfare, substance abuse riddled family in a small town in Connecticut. Chef Ben, a gay pastor at an American Baptist church, a teacher, a community leader and executive chef for many years. Vacationing on Martha vineyard for years and aware of his privilege never relied on it. The one of us who reads! Then Rome. The mixing board and bar mixologist. Born and raised to the farm life. Learned to cook and drink. He escaped the back of the house to make a name for hismelf behind the bar. Sam, the one female who can or atleast is willing to tolerate us. A great bartender with great marketing eyeballs. She keeps us on track...ish.

Episode 23
Each restaurant is its own “pirate ship”.
Each shift is a fight to collect the ‘booty’.
Nights of debauchery, merriment and lament with shipmates follow these shifts.
We spend this episode talking to Nadine Gengras, Brian Federman and Chef Ben, who all abandoned ship to lead “normal lives” on the main land...kinda. They’ve now become merchants to the pirate ships, providing us with glutinous food and booze!
It’s a pirates life for us...
