- Alternate titles: "Brad's Mind Gets Blown By Glass" or "Where Science meets Art" and "how to maintain youthfulness into your 80s with Local Legend, Jeanie Blair". A 21st century Annie Oakley, Jeanie Blair is a legend in multiple categories - a marathon runner, occasional pigeon trainer, and oldest member of the USA Skeet Shooting Team. I could spend a lifetime learning from her, so come with us on a trip down to New Orleans to check out her Glassworks and Printmaking Studio. We’ll put our sunglasses, head down to the lava lake, and look deep into the glory hole for inspiration in making first ever handblown drinking glass.
Hope you enjoy the episode as much as I enjoyed learning the ways of the glass. Thanks to Jeanie, Jarrith, and the entire staff of the New Orleans Glassworks and Printmaking Studio for making us feel so welcome. If you want to blow your own glass with these legends, hit the link below!

Also, shoutout to my bud Jade at Port of Call for the bottle of her incredible fassionola syrup!!
And lastly, this episode would not have been possible without our friends at Topo Chico.

Turns out the lava lake gets pretty warm… and finishing the day with an ice cold Topo Chico cheers with my new friend Jeanie was just what the doctor ordered.

Her dad invented the tracer bullet. She is a competitive clay shooter. Runs everyday. Operates a studio and shop. She has to be the coolest person ever
Her just casually dropping the fact that her father invented the tracer bullet is absolutely crazy.
Well no not really. A quick search will at the very least poke holes in that argument as tracers have been around since WW1 and not WW2 which is when her father developed his version for remington. The thing is there are several types of tracers if am not misstaken as far as how they work and caliber size etc. so her father probably developed 1 type of tracers for Remington but he didnt invent the actual tracer round. Note that she doesnt say he invented it either but rather she says "developed" which I suppose maybe is slightly different (non native english speaker here).
Apperently the brittish had tracer rounds back in 1915 and the US 1917 that fit our current description of tracers but there are even earlier versions that use very different approaches to show impact locations (smoke on impact, smoke trails etc.) Hell they used to light cannon balls on fire to trace their shots but obviously the hand held versions (bullets) wouldnt come untill much later
Apparently the tracer was invented by the British? Regardless, i love her 😂 Brad might have also found a new hobby! I NEED to give that a go!
Jarrith was one of the best teachers I've ever seen! super positive and great guidance. What a great person
Thank uuuuu
yeah what an awesome guy to be around, I was getting pumped just watching
@@jarrithmccoy4417 and he has rocking hair and style!
Came to make the same comment. He did a wonderful job of relating each step to something familiar.
@@jarrithmccoy4417 - You are a great teacher Jarrith! Really enjoyed watching you teach Brad. Great job! 👍🏼✌🏼👏👏👏
Jeanie is the reason why I have a career! She saw something in me and offered me an internship at 15. I decided to pursue a career in sculpture, went off to get my BFA in sculpture, and today am a full time artist. I had no idea it was possible to mix business and art back then, and thanks to her guidance and exposure to so many mediums it really set me up for success. Thank you Jeanie! The art community loves you.
Such an incredible woman and community she has helped to build. And a truly wonderful series, Brad, I hope you're proud because this is amazing content!
Thank you !! ❤
Her dad invented the tracer bullet? That's kinda awesome
Didn’t think you could top “it’s Alive” but this show is great. Well done man!
LOVE, love, LOVE this local legends series!
Brad and crew doing an admirable job of restoring my faith in humanity. Couldn't have highlighted a better cast of characters than those folks in Nola. Hats off to everyone involved! 🍸
I love how much Brad respects his teachers. He’s such a great dude.
The fade out of Jeanie being everyone's great Aunt with the Walmart bag made my heart the times larger
Every new Local Legends episode becomes my favorite. I watch them over and over. 💯
The infinite energy and love of learning from Brad, the efficient heartwarming guidance from Jarrith, the inspirational story and personality from Jeanie - this episode is just pure gold. Thank you so much for putting this content out for all of us ❤
LocalLegends is by far the best format ever.
Thanks Brad and Team!
I'm nearly tearing up at the end because it's so damn wholesome. This is the energy we need more of and I want to be surrounded by at all times.
Same here, barely holding it
This one and the "fish whistle" episode are my favorites. I love local legends! Keep up the great work and maybe swing my Milwaukee, WI for some of our legends.
MAN!!! One of the things I like about you, Brad, is that you know how to do so many things. What I REALLY like about you , though, is that you eagerly learn about SO many new things.
This episode is totally fascinating. Garrith is a great teacher. The lady that owns the place is a pure delight!
i cannot believe this video series is not more popular. there a MILLIONS of people missing out
Jeanie is such an inspiration ❤ I just want to spend a whole day with her!
Omg, Brad, every single episode of this gets better and better and *better!*
I've always been interested to know how glass blowing goes about, and this was a fantastic demonstration through the whole process.
Every single person you meet on Local Legends are just the most amazing people imaginable! Love it, Brad, thanks for all you do, and huge thanks to the extremely talented people you meet with.
Come on guys. Buds on a Roll! Lovin' it man!
Intriguing glassblowing. History & Knowledge. Joy. Mike Tyson pigeon-racing Queen Elizabeth.
Couldn't start a day better! Thanks!💪🏽✌️
Again, Mike Tyson pidgeon racing The Queen. Can't wrap my head around it
Brad, your Local Legends pieces are some of the best video content being published today across all media outlets. Thank you for what you are bringing to the world. This is special. Keep bringing it!!!
This woman reminds me of my grandma so much, she was also named Jeanie. She lives such a colorful life, she used to tell us about the things she did and we would sit in awh and I could tell she loved seeing the joy in our faces. My favorite story she told me was that she loved going out dancing so much her friends called her Jeanne Jeanne the Dancing Queen 😊 Anyways, she died a terrible death suffering from Alzheimer’s and it was terrible.
These local legend videos just keep getting better and better. Not only is the content fun to watch but the people are so amazing and passionate. These make me so happy, keep up the great work!
You're doing great things Brad & Crew, it's appreciated.
Jarrith is such a wonderful teacher!
What a fascinating lady. How a person gets to be over 80 years old without losing their zest for life is beyond me.
The local legends series is absolutely lovely. Thank you Brad!
You've always excelled at this kind of content, Brad. It's great to see you're keeping it going!
Love how damn full of energy bard is, local legends is my favorite series to watch on UA-cam looking forward for more amazing episodes
I love the people who are highlighted through Local Legends. Not only the main focus of the video, but the people who work there are always gems of humans
Man, let me tell you what, Brad is is 100% the Bob Ross of food. Wholesome and sincere.
Jareth is such an amazing, engaging and encouraging teacher!!! Deserves the world!!
Brad, you have moved way past that bad ass picture of Jimi Hendrix, God rest his soul… I’ll watch you blow glass all day man! What other kind of glass did you make man?! Ms. Jeanie is a true inspiration!🤟
I can’t explain how excited and giddy with anticipation I’ve been for your next episode to come out! This was DYNAMITE!
There’s nothing better than seeing an excited Brad!
One of the best videos I have seen in ages. You are killing it Brad, what an amazing place! If I ever make it to Louisiana I’ll be stopping by for sure!
This series is great.
The Local Legends stuff has gotten better and better. It wasn’t what I was expecting on this channel at first, but it’s definitely grown on me. Awesome stories and experiences.
such a charming lady. only saddness being how rare those things are. and how so few people get that kind of freedom and exp. So great that their art space gives so much back to the community. Truly a gem, of a space, that hopefully the city appreciates.
My husband and I always look forward to another episode of Local Legends. Thanks for great content and for always being a cool human being.✌️
Jeanie taking pictures of Brad and Jarrith was so dang cute
I love Brad's enthousiasm.
And I'm sure the teach has experience with children. Handles Brad like a champ.
Brad is my 10-year-old self. I love this. And his teacher is used to dealing with 10-year-olds. He's the local hero of this show.
Judy: Tells story about pigeons in WW1
Brad: "I've learned more about WW2 through you than I did in high school"
Classic Brad.
Always a good day when I see Brad pop up in my subscribed videos!
If able, more from her! She is amazing.
Here to say, like every video we need a full local legends theme. Thanks😇
Jarrith- You are an exceptional teacher
Brad is an immaculate vibe, always.
ALWAYS. I can only aspire to such immaculate bro-ness.
Brad! Your enthusiasm is contagious
Very much enjoyed her wisdom at the end. I need to be more like Jeanie. Yes I can do it.
The outro was so perfect ❤ she’s such a sweetheart
Local legends is one of the best series of all time and bead you are amazing.. your channel is just phenomenal
I miss NOLA so much! I lived there in the 80’s. Coolest place ever! So easy to navigate even though it’s not supposed to be. I plan to visit again soon now that I’m back in Florida. I’ll definitely check this place out. Not sure how I missed it. Awesome lady with incredible energy! I’m jealous.
I really hope we get to see the seafood platter Brad was talking about making with his glass!
I am so proud of your journey, Brad. Truly.
Local legends is some of the best content on UA-cam, and seeing the excitement of making and learning in Brads eyes in this episode was infectious. So much energy! Awesome stuff
So many aspects of this are so iconic… she’s such a legend ❤
Love it. I got into this art accidentally signing up for a class that was study of glass and involved hand on glassblowing at Palomar college. Very cool, shaped some of my views and what not…
Been interested in glassblowing stuff and watching a bunch of videos. Then we get a glassblowing vid from BRAD? Awesome timing!
You bring tears to my eyes, brother. I love everything you put out, but this series is really special. You highlight such awesome, yet down-to-Earth people. Your excitement and wonder in learning something new from people with true passion for those things is really incredible as well.
I really can't get enough of your channel. Super glad you got your own thing going and are doing all the stuff you want to do. Amazing.
Wow what a fantastic episode! So heartwarming, Jeanie is such a treasure. Jarrith was a great instructor also!
This guy is so nice with Brad. He could teach children. Nice episode
Great episode Brad. Have to mention that I love the "Local Legends" song as well.
Brad is such a special guy. I also really love glass artwork and have wanted to learn glass blowing since I was young.
I LOVE the music on your videos Brad! Props to whoever made them and your local legends theme song!
What a joy, thank you for introducing us to someone like Jeanie!
So cool thanks for taking us along. 🥂
Glassblowing looks SO FUN! Same goes for Jeanie--LEGEND.
this was the coolest episode of yours!!! I was on the edge of my seat the entire time . need to give this a try!!!!
i'm booking a glass blowing class right this instant !
great video, great people, keep up the good work, brad and crew !
greetings from belgium !
I'm stoked for how stoked Brad is.
This was the coolest and sweetest and most informative and beautiful thing we have ever seen. ❤
Brad, this was truly an awesome experience which I was able to vicariously live out through you. Jeanie is a wonder woman and Jareth is a terrific teacher! Absolutely LOVED this! Keep up the stellar content bud!
I kinda wanna go there for my first visits of the States, she and her family are worldwide Legends
Once again, thanks Brad, in so many ways you influence and inspire me, and sooo many others! Go meta and do a Local Legends with yourself! Love from Saguenay (you'd have a blast over here bro!!), Quebec
This series is incredible. You and your connection with these local legends is so genuine and heartfelt and truly beautiful to watch. Uplifting content, Brad. Thank you.♥️
I HOPE YOU COME BACK TO VISIT THEM IN THE FUTURE, THIS EPISODE WAS SO GOOD
Absolutely amazing video! All of those people seem extremely nice and genuinely passionate about their craft. Local Legends is a wonderful way to shed a spot light on an this amazing community.
Great episode Brad!! Loved Jean, so much wisdom. 28:33 “don’t put anything off”
Great advice!!
I've seen glassblowing demonstrations before (Greenfield Village, Dearborn, MI) but this stuff is above and beyond anything I've seen in person.
I once had a friend that was a glass blower. I helped him cut down a big fir tree, mill it into timber, pour a foundation, build a shop and finish it out. The furnace was fired up, I made one paperweight, and his family sold the place and moved upstate. I could have been a contender. I mostly hope that the art space that we created lives on and isn't just stuffed full of broken lawnmowers. The piece was egg shaped and sized with three blue and white waves going around.
This series has been nothing short of fantastic. #baller
She’s absolutely awesome! I hope to be half as awesome as Jeanie when I’m the same age as her! Glass art is so cool! My first ever fieldtrip in America, was watching a glass blowing show at the Tacoma Dome so this brought back lots of nostalgia for me!!!
This is the raddest place. I've been by hundreds of times and finally went in after I had bought some of the artists' work at the Frenchman Art Market. It's absolutely magical.
Loved this video and the series. The passion shared is inspiring. Watching people who truly love their craft, whether cooking, art, teaching, or sacrificing to make others happy, is amazing .
Thank you Brad! Every video ive watched of yours have pushed me more and more to try out the things i find interesting you're a massive light in this dim world and i thank you again for sharing yourself with the world
every episode is the best yet! what an amazing crew!
that was spectacular! love Jeanie and her crew!
I’m going to NOLA in April and have always wanted to try glass blowing!!! I sent an inquiry in! So excited, thanks Brad!
This one was on point. What a fucking legend, Jeanie is truly an inspiration.
This is so pure, and purely amazing. Thanks!
"We'll for sure make something that holds liquid" lmao
What an amazing episode! She was so sweet!
Nothing to say, just adored the episode and wanted to encourage the algorithm! ❤
This whole video is such a VIBE. I could so see Brad living in New Orleans. Although, as a very frequent visitor, I can tell you they aren't kidding about the Summers. Good LAWD.
Woooee another BANGER from Brad! Cheers for the great content.
Love to see Brad mixing it up with the people! Keep up the great work. :)
Absolutely loved this episode. So inspiring
Yo Brad thought of a great local legends idea for you. Gyotaku, the Japanese art of fish prints that are shown in this video. Great catch and cook style video with the art twist. Many great guys you can find in Hawaii.
If you made a venn diagram of the things I love: Brad, Topo Chio, New Orleans, and Crazy Art People Who Shoot.... well, you'd have a circle.
Love your work Brad! I often find some of your shots when outdoors are blown out/over exposed. Might be something for the camera crew to keep in mind for future shoots! ❤️
That was great. Actually made me tear up a bit there at the end.
