Hella Tired, Wicked Honest:Tism 10

It’s episode 10 of Touch of the Tism and your favorite tired bartenders are back: Siobhan, Holly, and Dani. What starts as a delirious catch-up about sleep deprivation, weird days off, and bar bathroom emergencies quickly opens into a deeper conversation about Juneteenth, white supremacy, policing, and why education, not “wokeness”, is the real threat to people in power.

The crew unpacks mispronounced names, Irish and Scottish roots, Boston vs. Bay Area accents, and the thin line between cultural appreciation and appropriation. They share what Juneteenth looked like growing up, how Black history keeps getting paved over (literally and figuratively), and why the World Cup’s joy feels so precious against rising hate groups and protests.

Along the way, you’ll get unhinged bar stories about underage IDs, kids sleeping in bars, waving cash at bartenders, and why “Can I please have…?” will always get you further than “Gimme.” They close with grief, dads, Buffalo Soldiers, and a sharp reminder to lead with kindness while still holding the line.

If you’ve ever felt bone-tired, overwhelmed by the news, and still determined to care about people, this one’s for you.
