-Our good friend and fellow podcaster, Ajay from All Axis Radio came all the way from Canada to join Jennifer and Jackie in the sound booth.

- Texas stereotypes: The Good, The Bad and the Downright Hilarious

- Everything is bigger in Texas even the bugs

- “Do be do be do” - Chocolate-covered coffee beans to the person who can name that tune.

In case you can’t tell from all the laughter, we had an amazing time with Ajay. We hope to either make it to Canada soon or perhaps he’ll make a return visit. You know the old saying, ” I wasn’t born in Texas, but I got here as quick as I could.”

If you want to hear some great Canadian Indie Rock, we highly recommend you head over to All Axis Radio. Tell Ajay the Coffee Gals sent ya.

The Coffee Gals take the show on road via Utterz for the 3-hour closing of Starbucks.

Our first stop is at Cafe Oasis in the Clear Lake area. Not only did the guy behind the counter know nothing about it, he actually had the guts to tell us, “Coffee is Coffee.” We almost walked out without our coffee when we heard that.

We did stop by 2 Starbucks locations to see if there was any mayhem happening from caffeine-deprived folks. You can hear our thoughts on the whole experience here:

We hear from Charles Cadenhead of Mostly News and Desperate Husbands. Charles has some coffee bean roaster questions, offers us a helpful tech tip in regards to our new Grand Central Number 210.880.GALS (4257) and gives us a detailed explanation about the difference between basements and root cellars. Thanks so much Charles for your audio comments. Be sure and check out his shows. We find them both informative and entertaining!

Jackie has some news about a coffee cup recall from Starbucks.

There is also a report out that puts the Coffee Gals in a group of older affluent consumers. Does this mean snooty times ahead?

Gooood afternoon all.

We wanted to say thanks for all the great feedback on the last show.

And thanks for the tip from Janie as to where we can all get some of that Amazing What’s Brewing Coffee
on the Southside of San Antonio. Lucky for me they also can be found at HEB Central Markets.

I have some interesting Coffee News that was on CNN this morning. Apparently Starbucks revenues are down and they’re feeling the crunch from competitors that offer the good stuff.

Jennifer thinks their revenues are down because of the revolution we are leading…

I think the consumer can tell the difference between a push button espresso & one that is hand crafted…mmm Ok, I’ll be back….or will I, Dave?
