20. The highs and lows of restaurant work, Folger’s coffee, and our Boopa’s Bagel Deli jingle
Pod Help the Outcasts
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: 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...

17. The Apology Episode
Pod Help the Outcasts
In This Episode: We are going to begin with some apologies. We have been very busy trying to improve ourselves as not only joint, small business owners and podcast makers, but also as individual small business owners now. What?! We now live, think, breathe and poo small businesses. John has founded an audio company and I now have an online cocktail class company. This in no way means that we are taking time off from creating POD HELP THE OUTCASTS. Oh, no. If anything, we are coming back stronger with a much more efficient, more streamlined show format that is less flowery and more about...

Another bourbon and coffee or “bourbee and coffee,” I slur. We have come to a crossroads and we need your help. Firstly, we need to up our cocktail game during taping. We can’t drink bourbon and coffee forever. Plus, we ran out of John’s bourbon anyway. We are on it. JUST YOU WAIT FOR SEASON TWO, FRIENDS.
Secondly, merch. We are thinking stickers and coasters. Would you stick us to your stuff? Would you sit your glass on our faces and then drink from it and then put it back? Would you smile every time you looked down as you did it? These are the things we
ask ourselves, on your behalf, multiple times a day.
We get a phone call from Abigail Figueroa-Vera of Aby’s Upholstery!!! Gosh, we love her to death. She is the best and
we feel beyond warm and fuzzies knowing we are reaching people. We then pivot to a discussion about art and the price of art as we enter the realm of Maurice Harris, a luxury florist, community coffee shop operator and performance artist, of Bloom &
Plume in Los Angeles. My sister has visited his space in L.A. and I recently stumbled upon a New York Times article entitled: “Maurice Harris is a Superstar. Can He Bend
Capitalism to His Talents?” What is it like to finally arrive at a place in your career when what you are making is something you could never afford? (Mind explosion). We see it as performing artists all the time in NYC. The price of a ticket to a Broadway show is
more than three of my utilities in a month. Well, maybe not my summer ConEd bill, but you understand. The power of beauty. Capitalism. Creativity. Who Owns it? Can you
bloom? Will you, even? Enjoy!
