About Pod Help the Outcasts

If the apocalypse does come, we hope it leaves behind two things: small businesses and the commercial jingle. Join us at POD HELP THE OUTCASTS, a broadcast in which two musically inclined New York actors try to save small businesses one original jingle at a time.

   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. This week’s business: ATX Pole Fitness, Stephanie Olles (owner and operator) 1100 Sam Bass Rd #202, (Located in the Sam Bass Marketplace) Round Rock, TX 78681 @atxpolefitness 512.577.9487 Love, John and Justin podhelptheoutcasts.com

   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. This Week’s Business: BOOPA’S BAGEL DELI 6513 N Beach St. Fort Worth, TX 76137 Call to order: (817) 232-4771 or (817) 232-2982 Email: orders@ftwbagels.com Hours are: MONDAY - FRIDAY 5:30am - 1pm SATURDAY 6am - 1pm SUNDAY 6:30am - 1pm Please call if you need to verify our hours on any given day.

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

   We are very happy to be back, y’all. Our new format will tastefully, beautifully and efficiently reach DOUBLE the amount of small businesses we reached in season one. You hear me, DOUBLE?! (Remember to follow us @podhelptheoutcasts and subscribe anywhere you get your podcasts.) Use Refer-O-Matic to earn perks for sharing with friends. 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.
