Tonight on Nightclub Confidential...

How's your first night at Tequila Nightclub?

I like the scenery.

You behave yourself and you don't take all your clothes off.

That completely makes you lose respect of your staff.

Chunk wanted it back in the freezer.

Hey, get off the truck.

Stressful night. Everything happening.

And then these two idiots start...

I want you out! Get out.

Did they just pull away? Where'd they go?

Hey, Simon.

When you're in the industry,

sometimes you don't realize how many weeks and months and years roll by

and how stressful it is.

And you just need that break sometimes.

Most people work at the bar or nightclub on the weekends

as a getaway, a party.

Your drinks are put on a bar tab, which comes off your paycheck,

and I've had paychecks where I've owed the bar 600 dollars.

Staff shouldn't come to work tired.

They shouldn't come drinking on the job

or else they make stupid decisions.

Definitely your management team

is supposed to be leading your employees and setting the example.

But if they're off running around,

getting romantically involved with the other staff,

it's unprofessional,

and it leads to the wrong impression to your employees.

It's tough to not cross the line when you're managing beautiful women.

All the booze, all the partying, it's tough not to be tempted.

In my four years at Tequila,

running the bar has always been a two-man show.

My partner, Chunk, and I achieved a good balance

where I was more the face of the business

and he was more operating in behind.

I need some light bulbs.

I'll be tired at the end of the night,

but when the staff sees me move, then the staff works just as hard.

When they see me partying and sitting down doing nothing,

they're gonna do nothing.

But Chunk is retired from the bar and I'm doing everything on my own.

This weekend is one of the busiest that I can remember.

I just hope I totally don't burn out.

I have two parties planned this weekend, starting with St Patrick's Day tonight.

What?

Not impressed by that,

and then this bitches that he wants to bartend, and it's like...

And right out of the gate, one of my doormen is late

and not in position.

Not only did he not show up at 7:30, he's 10 minutes late for 8:30 shifts.

Hey, and you still show up late.

Carter came in and did the pub crawl for you, by the way.

Is it so much to ask to come into work?

Where the fuck is my porter?

I realized after New Year's Eve

that I was being a little too casual with the staff.

Don't worry about that, get the mop.

So now I really gotta bear down and kind of get hard on them.

Hey, guys, the Kiss Me Civil Pub Crawl, your buses are loading.

Pub crawls are important to any bar business.

First of all you're getting people into the club early on in the night.

They get on the bus

and we ship them around to different bars in the city,

and they come back about 11:00

when it's the busiest time of the night.

Like, does it turn? Does it not turn, or what?

Next, our pub crawl bus dies,

stranding 40 or 50 people in the middle of nowhere.

Hey, can you get down, brother?

Stressful night. Everything happening.

Embarrassingly enough, I had to get a bus

from another bar to bring our patrons back,

and now I have the stress of getting our bus towed.

Hey, guys, guys, leave him alone.

Our broke down bus has shown up.

Hey, hey, get off the truck!

Hey!

Drunk people that are causing problems,

and I have to get them out of the way before one gets hit.

Get out of the way.

He's putting the bus right there.

Drunk people always think they're a big help,

but really they're just a pain in the ass.

What the fuck are you doing?

You know what? It was a really good night.

We all let loose a little bit, had some fun.

And I think it was...

Boys, give me two seconds. I love you.

So we get the night back on track,

everybody's having drinks, having a good time.

Simon is at the...

And then these two idiots start...

These guys, they just started talking crap.

Kaitylyn came up to me when they were about to leave

and said they were being arrogant.

Something happens, this guy is on our fucking face.

I want you out now.

I asked these two guys to leave,

and they're trying to tell me that they don't have to.

I want you out. I have the right to kick you out.

Sometimes when we're dealing with guys like this,

I have a tendency to fake a call to the police.

I have two individuals not getting out of my nightclub.

Let's go. Stay inside. They're out. They're out!

Did they just pull away? Where'd they go?

Did see where they went?

This is one of them. Right here.

This is the one guy.

Threatening us that he wouldn't get out of our club

and he wouldn't step away.

They were outside, still beaking us.

Guys are always tough until the cops show up.

Go over to the car. Go over to the car.

Unfortunately I deal with drunk idiots like this every weekend.

Fuck you, Simon.

Hey, Simon.

And tomorrow we do it all over again.

Your bar sucks, Simon.

Simon's a queer!

I got a bus broken down.

Hey, get off the truck.

Stressful night. Everything's been happening.

I want you out. Get out.

Hey, Simon.

-Thanks, Jake. -Thanks, man.

I recently became the head bouncer at the club.

So how goes life at Tequila?

Oh, it's all right. Kinda sucks being short staffed.

I got a hold of Mitch, the former head bouncer here.

I wanted to sit down and get a few pointers from him

on how to do the job.

Yeah, well, it takes a lot of courage, or stupidity.

I'm not sure which one to stick around there.

Now that I'm not working at the club anymore,

I feel like my life has actually begun.

Get back to work.

That's all he ever says.

One of the big determining factors of me not being at the club

was, obviously, my girlfriend.

Such a brat. Yeah, he's cleaned up his act a lot.

Knee forward.

It's just that I spend my time for me

and what's important to me, like my girlfriend.

I'd be lying if I said that I missed all of that.

We had a guy who wouldn't take his coat check ticket.

Got thrown to the ground by some random dude that walked up.

Hey, hey, hey.

Shortly after that there was a fight in the DJ booth.

These guys, they were being...

to all the rest of the customers in the bar.

I have the right to kick you out right now.

Simon ended up calling the cops.

Oh, my God.

They opened the club as soon as I parked there.

Yeah, not very much fun.

You gotta stop them in their tracks

and show them a little tough love sometimes.

That's just the way she goes.

That's where we're different.

You go with your style, and I'm more, reason with them,

trying to get them out of the club nicely.

Who could punch a face like yours?

If you would've told me three years ago

that Carter was gonna be the head bouncer at one point,

I would've died from laughter.

-Cheers, buddy. -Thanks.

Good job.

Holyshit.

This one's heavier than the last one.

Holyshit, it's like a dead body.

The ice party is a party that I've done in the past,

and Simon really has no experience in doing it.

We've got about an hour and 20 minutes to bring out

10,000 pounds of ice.

Ice table performers, ice furniture, you know,

all kinds of stuff that we're building.

I was just finishing this section up.

It's awesome that Chunk came in

to lend us a hand to help setting up all the ice.

We need a ladder.

At the same time, I feel like he wants to micro-manage

just a little bit and keep tabs on us.

It doesn't look that good.

During the day I work with Chunk.

Home renovations, small jobs, running around.

Working for both Simon and Chunk, you know,

I have responsibilities over the club.

It's kinda all about multi-tasking right now.

During the week, if I'm with Chunk I get texts from Simon.

I gotta leave actually.

Have to see the order.

I would just say that you're just totally full.

So, you just don't have time, you're fully booked.

Working for both Chunk and Simon is great and all,

but often times I'll find myself

stuck in the middle, between their little conflicts.

It was a long day, man.

It's a lot of work, but it'll be a good night.

No, I know.

The last time I was in here was New Year's Eve,

and there was definitely problems that night.

I feel as though,

since New Year's Eve wasn't as big of a party as it should have been,

that the pressure's on me to make the ice party tonight successful.

How you doing, baby doll?

-Good, how are you? -Awesome.

All right, it's time to get the night started.

I was happy with Simon on the ice breaker.

He did a great job.

One thing that I noticed right away is the music was fun

and people were packed on the floor dancing.

I love that you have such a good, happy, demeanor.

That's me, always.

I have a new beer tub girl starting tonight, Melissa.

She's pretty hot, and I'm trying to make her comfortable

and making sure she knows how to do her job.

I love my job. I love my job. I love my job.

Holyshit.

There's a sight for sore eyes.

Oh, it's been too long, buddy.

Then I look over, and it's my buddy, Mitch.

-Nice to see you. -Yeah.

Gina must have let him off the leash for tonight.

The old head doorman just walked in, Mitch.

So hopefully he's in a good mood tonight.

Looks like a lot of fun still,

but you know, I almost think that I've moved past this.

It's really tough to let go.

You and Gina are separated now?

No, surprisingly not.

I heard she like... like right at the shaft.

How does a guy, like, who works full time in the day,

and then goes and works in a club in at night

expect to have a serious girlfriend?

Guess what, Gina? I don't work there anymore.

Fast forward to present time.

I am. It doesn't matter. I'm not there. I'm never going back.

You know, it feels like she's trying to change me

and domesticate me, and you know, that's not me.

You know, she's just gonna have to learn to live with it.

When do I gotta stop living?

Why does that have to stop?

Now I feel like a man again.

How's your first night at Tequila Nightclub?

It's fantastic. Well, I like the scenery.

I like this girl.

Snowing!

It's oftentimes Simon will talk about being burnt out,

but then at other times you're gonna see him

flirting with new staff members and various women.

Hi, guys.

We're not in a relationship, so it's okay.

Some of the perks and enjoyment of my job

is that I get to interact with some beautiful people.

Hi.

It's tough not to be tempted.

You haven't been with a chick like me before?

That girl's crazy.

Can we get a water over here?

Get that in your beer tap, you old drunk.

It's been a long, stressful night,

and I'm actually looking forward to a drink

with this new beer tub girl.

There's a flat, solid line that you just don't sleep with your own staff.

It's okay. It's okay, just give us a few seconds.

You behave yourself and you don't take all your clothes off.

That completely makes you lose respect of your staff.

How you doing?

The old head doorman just walked in, Mitch.

Hopefully he's in a good mood tonight.

How's your first night a Tequila Nightclub?

I like the scenery.

You behave yourself and you don't take all your clothes off.

We're not in a relationship, so it's okay.

What do you wanna drink?

Gin and cran, so...

Double though.

It's kind of a fantasy in the nightclub world.

You're seeing people in their best light,

and people really easily fall in love with each other.

Bloody and nuggets. I love you.

People will associate bad things are happening

if I'm having a drink with an employee,

but sometimes I just wanna chill after a long, stressful night.

Guys, can we chill out a little bit?

I want a little freedom.

It's okay, just give us two seconds, please.

Is his hands on that?

You can have them.

That's a wrap, gentlemen.

You don't sleep with the staff.

If the female staff lose respect for you,

they kind of will probably move on,

and you'll lose some good staff members because of that.

Love you, bye.

So, it's the end of the night.

Simon's disappeared with the beer tub girl.

We have ice melting all over the bars.

The rest of us are burnt out, so why not have some fun with it?

Oh, my God.

Where's this from?

Yo, who the fuck brought this?

End of the night, I come out of the office,

and I'm fucking choked to see the staff throwing ice around

and breaking sculptures.

And my manager, Layna, is in on this,

and I just think it's disrespectful.

Why would you do that? What's the point of that?

Chunk wanted it back in the freezer,

and he wanted it back out tomorrow night.

Had somebody told me we're gonna reuse the blocks of ice

that are melting, hundred percent I would've put them away.

Why would we want old ice?

So I thought it was fair game to throw and get rid of.

Look at this shit. Shut the music off. Let's go.

Where there be fucking morons, there's gonna be morons.

Lights are on? You ain't doing...

Walking around, being Simon's.

If I didn't love you, Mitch, I'd hit you right now.

You need to leave 'cause you don't work here anymore, so goodbye.

To be quite honest with you, I've been so liberated

and made a million things happen since I left.

I'm just really happy about it.

Mitch is always going off

about how he doesn't miss Tequila's, but I think that's bullshit.

Let's go. Simon wants to go home.

Carter, there's a million people still here.

It's time to close the bar down.

Yeah, so you need to go too, then.

I'm just trying to help.

I think Mitch needs to back off and let me do my job.

He doesn't work here anymore.

The ice party was pretty chaotic and stressful.

So sat around afterwards, and really needed to de-stress

and have a drink.

And I was almost on my way out of the club

when my new sexy beer tub girl showed up in her comfy pajamas

to join me to have a few more refreshments.

And one drink led to another,

and 8 AM came pretty fast,

and it was breakfast time.

People will greet me on the street,

and I'll say that I'm Simon, and they'll ask me if I'm The Simon.

The girls just rage here some nights,

and sometimes I wish that I can live up to my reputation.

I've seen girls having full-fledged sex on top of my bar,

to a mezzanine underwear party

where our cleaners broke it up at 6 in the morning.

To things that I can't even say.

Holy fuck, what episode is this?

I'm gonna make sure I'm around nobody.
