    21. The NYC Summer, Schaefer Beer, and our ATX Pole Fitness jingle

    21. The NYC Summer, Schaefer Beer, and our ATX Pole Fitness jingle

    We begin this broadcast with a brief public service announcement. The world is coming back, y’all. We are running around like chickens with our pod-casting/jingle-ing heads cut off. We are going to scale back to an episode a month. It’s better for you. It’s better for us. And, most importantly, it’s better for the business. They get a whole month of a feature. We are constantly trying to streamline and find out what works best for us. You get it. We are finding less is more. (Remember to follow us @podhelptheoutcasts and subscribe anywhere you get your podcasts.)
     
    In This Episode: 
     
    We are turning 21. This is our twenty-first episode so what better way to kick it off then to focus on two very grown up things: beer and pole dance fitness. This week’s featured jingle is one of our favorites because it’s been played in so many different
    styles over the course of advertising history. It’s been done by Louis Armstrong, Lena Horne and featured in a Broadway show, among other things. It’s the Schaefer Beer jingle. So good.
     
    Our biz of the week is ATX Pole Fitness. They are a boutique fitness and dance studio located in the Austin, TX area, Round Rock to be exact. What many people don’t know about pole as an art form is that it’s actually quite a serious and measured base of training. I certainly had no real context for pole other than how I’ve seen it characterized; it’s usually connected somehow to strippers, adult entertainment and the like. Contrary to what many of us realize, it’s a highly strategic practice and training method that many would like to turn into an Olympic sport. Very freaking cool. Stephanie Olles, the owner of ATX Pole Fitness, has a deep passion for movement and how it improves your overall headspace in life. I’m so grateful for my conversation with her. We are so excited to have met them and beyond happy to have created something fun and sexy for them in our 21st episode.

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

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

    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.

    19. Diminishing beer returns, the Band-Aid jingle, and Bubbles & Brews Philly

    19. Diminishing beer returns, the Band-Aid jingle, and Bubbles & Brews Philly

    In This Episode:
     
    We begin with talking about what we are thinking about this week. Spoiler alert: As usual, mine is booze and John’s is some crazy train of thought. (Opposites attract, guys.) His tangent has a point, though. It always does.
     
    This week, we talk about the classic Johnson & Johnson, Band-Aid jingle. It’s very timely as vaccinations continue to roll out. John will provide us with a brief history and discussion of the tune….Barry Manilow. John Travolta. Terri Garr. Are you enticed to listen to the full episode? I know you are.
     
    Our biz of the week is Bubbles & Brews, Philly. It’s a small franchise owned by Tyrese and J’Nelle Lawrence that exists within a larger model called Get Cozy Bars. Being that Justin is a virtual bartender now, he is VERY excited to meet other people who are
    striving to innovate the cocktail industry. This particular business is a drive-up bar. Yes. You heard this right. You tell them what you want. They have 7 kegs on tap and a full bar. They drive a fully-booze-loaded vintage piaggio ape onto the site of your event. It’s
    the CUTEST DAMN BAR on the face of the planet. We are so excited to have met them and beyond happy to be featuring and ‘jingle’-ing them this week.

    18. NYC moves, vaccines, the Chili’s baby back ribs jingle, and our new tune for Jackie’s Place Soul Food in San Jose, CA

    We are fully back in business, y’all. We love our new format, we love our new musical sound bites, but, mostly, we love our listeners. Please love us back. Share us, follow us, tell people about us, follow us, SEND US YOUR SMALL BUSINESSES!

    Texas tattoos. Think about how 80% of people from Texas have the state tattooed somewhere on their body. Why is this relevant? Well, listen on. John is moving apartments in NYC. Anyone who has done that knows the emotional ramifications of what moving in NYC entails. Justin was lucky enough to get his second vaccine and have zero side effects. Cool. Moving on…
     
    We have many new fun sound bites for you. We release ‘Not Brought to You By’ this week. All the credit to Johnny here. He wrote it and it’s one of the top 5 five songs Justin wishes he had written. What is the feature of the ‘Not Brought to you By’ segment?
     
    Chili’s Baby Back Ribs! Right?! Do you remember where you were when you first heard this jingle? John does. He was in his childhood home in Dallas with his brother Matt running around trying to sing the bass part in his pre-pubescent boy soprano church voice. To keep the jingle in the family, we have a special surprise for you that you will only get if you listen to the episode in its entirety. The other special surprise, obviously, is John’s history lesson about the jingle. John’s research is always a treat to be enjoyed on your morning commute, during a nice power walk or jog, or, as I personally like, with a huge cocktail that puts you right to sleep. (N’Sync and Fat Bastard…come up…in the history lesson….Oh…John….Wait for the funeral, y’all. That’s all I’m going to say.) Buy Guy Bommarito’s book: Creative Bones
     
    Our biz of the week is Jackie’s Place in San Jose, CA. They are a woman led, family run, black-owned soul food & BBQ restaurant located in the heart of the Silicon Valley and the only soul food restaurant in a 30-mile radius! Jackie made her way to California
    from Hondo, Texas. (John?!) What started out in 1998 as preparing small dishes for family and churches has turned into a growing success. In 2013, they launched their bakery, Noonie Cakes, specializing in unique southern style cupcakes, and in 2018
    they celebrated their Jackie's Place grand opening in Japantown, San Jose. After the pandemic struck in 2020, they experienced a fire that condemned their building, but they are happy to announce that this minor set back has set them up for a MAJOR
    come back!

    17. The Apology Episode

    17. The Apology Episode

    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 heavily featuring the business of the week. Season one was great, but season two will make you want to quit your jobs and start a small business of your own. See you soon!
     
    As always, share us with your friends! Share with five friends and get a custom flash jingle for anyone you choose. And the rewards only go up from there! Refer-o-matic!
     
    Thanks for listening and your faith in us. We love you.
     
    Love,
    John & Justin @ PHTO

    16. Christmas Time, A Smattering of Carols, and A Jingle for Drive-Thru Christmas in the Park in San Jose

    16. Christmas Time, A Smattering of Carols, and A Jingle for Drive-Thru Christmas in the Park in San Jose

    (Referral Link! You know the drill. Tell your friends; get a flash jingle about you or someone you love! Easy. Refer-O-Matic)
     
    In This Episode: 
     
    It’s that time of year, folks! This episode is a special Christmas edition. Well, it’s basically the same thing we always do, but it’s Christmas this time. Ok, so we need to get back to a certain formula moving forward. We need get back to talking about our favorite tunes and why we like them so that John can do what John does best: give you nerdy history. Please help yourself,
    as a special Christmas gift, to all of these things in Episode 16: my favorite carols, John’s favorite carols, and the history attached to John’s favorite carols. Hint: It’s about Irving Berlin….who’s Jewish. Anyway, moving on.
     
    This week's business is kind of cool. Do you all remember the end of season one? Well, if you don’t, we finished it off with a song for the Leigh Weimers Award Committee. They gave John
    and I an award through the Rotary Club of San Jose. Through this meeting, we connected with the man named Jason Minsky. He is the executive director of Christmas in the Park, an annual family holiday celebration in downtown San Jose, that has been a tradition for many in Justin’s hometown of San Jose, California. He approached John and Justin about writing an original pitch for the festival. Very cool, right?! What’s even cooler? They made the festival drive-through and Covid-proof this year.
     
    Well, Justin ended up going to the drive-through Christmas in the Park this year! He loaded his mom into the car with some burgers from 5 Guys and decided to check it out. (Thanks for the
    free passes, Jason!) It was SOOO SWEET. It was a 15-20 minute drive-through of historic History Park in San Jose. First of all, there was a radio station synched to listen to on your drive that synched with the mouths of the singing characters! There were maybe a million pixel lights. Forests. Reindeer. Sleighs. Santa, (who waved at me). Pixel arches. Christmas Trees. Teddy bears. Penguins. Oh, man it was freaking beautiful. Kids were going bananas hanging
    out of the sun roofs of their parents SUVs. Now, that doesn’t really sound safe at all, I know, but we were only allowed to go 2.5 MPH. So glad I was able to get there!
     
    Happy Holidays to all, whatever you celebrate, from your guys at the Pod!
