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.

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.
