20. The highs and lows of restaurant work, Folger's coffee, and our Boopa's Bagel Deli jingle


Listen Later

John has a shit-eating grin on his face. Why? I think he has been thinking about naughty things he doesn't want to say. That's okay. We don't want to know. OK, folks, so please remember to send us your small business ideas and buy the people you love a flash jingle. Flaaaaaash jingle. Refer-O-Matic: https://refer.glow.fm/outcasts

John talks for a while about those people, (you know the people), who sit in restaurants long after closing and make the servers wait for them. All I can think as he does this is: Oh, nooooooo. I fear DEEPLY that that is me. DEEPLY. Am I that person who actually thinks the servers want me to be there?! Oh, noooooooo. I have definitely closed down a bar or two in my day. Oh, uh oh. I continue to learn very valuable things from Johnny every day.

Welp…this week's episode is not brought to you by Folger's. Coffee. Oh, man, what a wonderful jingle to revisit. This jingle actually made me feel warm and toasty when I was little. There was something about the chord structure that made me, as a child, just want to grow up and be able to drink coffee so that I could feel like the song sounded. IS THAT NOT A GOOD JINGLE OR WHAT?! Making kids want to give their childhoods away so that they can drink coffee sooner?! COME. ON. Johnny has a mean history lesson for us all, as per usual.

This week we are talking about a small business in Fort Worth, Texas called Boopa's Bagel Deli. The proprietor is named Holly Pills. She is a marvelous, talented, successful, ingratiating, funny and just all around awesome person to have a cold call with. Her business partner, Lisa Underwood, passed away in 2005 and Lisa's son's nickname was Boopa. So cute.

Friends, it's all about kettle boiling here. I hate to break it to you, but it's just not an authentic bagel if it's not kettle boiled. It's science, folks. It's chemistry. I failed chemistry in high school. Welllllll, I got a C because the teacher liked me. This jingle was easy to write because I love Holly so much. She has remained so hopeful and hard working during the pandemic, she reminded me about how great it will be when everything has recovered.
