Ep. 65 "Corona Virus Freak Out" Mar 13, 2020

Show notes

We checked in with you, our listeners and family in the service industry to see how the recently declared pandemic is treating you. Turns out, NOT GOOD. We hope if anything this episode can bring some laughs and solidarity through what will certainly be a tough and uncharted period of time for everyone but ESPECIALLY those of us who depend on jobs that don't provide benefits or paid time off. God Speed and GOOD HEALTH to all of you. We love you!!

Ep.64 "Dawn of the Barista with Simon Gibson" Pt.1 Mar 07, 2020

Show notes

You asked for it! Well, a certain, over caffeinated portion of our listener demographic asked for it but we are finally dedicating a few episodes to our brother and sisters of the apron: BARISTAS! Aka, coffee waiters, java tenders, espresso slingers. We invite seasoned barista and funny man Simon Gibson to join our very titillating conversation about origins of the coffee craze and how it demanded full time positions to serve it up with a sneer!!
