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...

Okay, stay with me now. In our main segment, Tim Sebastian from 10glo.com joins us. Tim is the CGO (Chief Growth Officer) at 10glo.com, a new open forum for theatre artists to promote and share their talent in a ‘white label’ YouTube type of format. Their goal is to give actors and performing artists a platform where they bypass the audition room and get their work seen directly by industry professionals.
Sign up —> https://10glo.com/ using the code “JINGLEBROS” To get some groovy free stickers as well!
We chat with Tim about the challenges of opening a media company during the pandemic. We did the same thing, you see. BAZAAAAAM! Tim’s interview is great for other performing artists who have had to adjust to the transition of working from home. For many of us it has felt strange and unnatural, but we are trying to keep it in the context of how it will improve our work when live performance returns. PHTO show at Madison Square Garden, anyone?! (I go on a long tangent mid-interview and it’s like WTF but just try to stay with me.)
Lastly but not least-ly? Huh? We head back down to Dallas, Texas to promote a Christmas show for Uptown Players. This is a theatre in Dallas that John has worked for that is entering their 19th season. REGIONAL THEATERS ARE SMALL BUSINESSES, TOO, PEOPLE! We are writing this week for Paul J. Williams and “Sister Helen Holy’s Holiday Streaming Spectacular!” I can’t say enough great things about this performer, but I will say this: he uses his faith, his experience in the church, his love of and presence in the LGBTQIA community and his humor to bring joy, laughter and unity to the world at large. We think the world of this man’s talent.
