Fun fact.... in a podcast, Nathan said his original idea for this episode was a adult video store that from the outside looks like a Starbucks, and when people walk inside, it’s pitch black and they wear black light goggles, all to avoid embarrassment from anyone else entering or in the store. I wish they would have done that idea too ☺️

They probably pivoted because of the lawsuits that would come from falsifying the actual business name. So then they looked for loop holes and decided that if running a parody store was their only option, so they might as well just do coffee too.

I just spent $1.99 on Amazon prime to find out that the health inspectors shut it down because he didn’t have the proper permits. In the beginning this idea was to help a small coffee shop but Nathan left him and did it on his own, so after it shut down he came back to the guy and the guy told him he wasn’t going to help him and he wasn’t his friend so he had no reason to, and so Nathan closed up for good because he “didn’t like who he had become” and put a sign on the front door telling people to go to the guy’s coffee shop.
