We had a good partnership on this trip here in New Orleans with Topo Chico and made a really nice sparkling water. We wanted to make a little mocktail with you. This is a really cool syrup that I was just introduced to. It's called fashiona. syrup and it's just this wonderful floral brightness, uh, a berry syrup and that was the backbone of the original hurricane cocktail, but today I wanted to use it to make a couple of drops along with some ice and some limes, fun, refreshing, hydration, beautiful. up guys hello well guys what you do here has inspired me with nothing less than the art, the passion and the characters man you are some of the nicest people I have ever met in a While it is something really special what What do you have here, greetings guys, thank you very much wherever Genie goes, she doesn't walk, she flies, whether live.

Glass birds, birds, birds, birds, bird wings on his shoes, seeing an 80 year old genius with all his energy left me in awe, oh, I run every morning, well, they say that's the key to having a good old age, you have to be active, yes, honestly, the moment I realize that I'm not on track with some kind of schedule of doing things, you start to feel like you're going. the other way around, no joke, oh, all I'm saying is that if I get to be your age, I hope to have half the energy and enthusiasm as you, it's muscle memory, if your brain says yes, you can do it, yeah, You can do it, also by running many marathons. you get to the 17 mile point, you know you can make it to the end and every time I do something in life, damn, I just don't want to throw that garbage away or, wow, why do I have to do the dishes tonight?

That's your 17th mile. You know you can do it because you've done something similar before, but it's easier than finishing a marathon. It's easy to say "not this stopwatch." I'll postpone it until tomorrow, don't postpone anything Genius man, I mean just get to hang out with you just for a day here and I'll never forget you. I hope to visit you again and be a beautiful person and thank you for sharing a little of your world, your craft and your passion, this is what we do.
