Coffee hoarding to impress a girl

Theo recounts spending approximately $27 per visit buying excess coffee — including beans from Ghana, Estonia, and Madagascar — at a coffee shop just to talk to the barista he liked.

The Coffee Hoard — Flirting Fail at a Tennessee Café

At 26:00 · chapter starts 25:55

When Theo first moved to Tennessee, he developed a crush on a barista and deployed his courtship strategy: never say no to anything she offered. What started as a $27 coffee escalated into buying roasts from Ghana, Zimbabwe, Estonia, Madagascar, and a charity blend for kids — none of whom are supposed to drink coffee. His car became so saturated with coffee aroma that simply sitting in it for 50 seconds was enough to reset his energy for the rest of the workday. The bit lands perfectly with the image of someone at a drive-through asking if he was selling coffee. He closes with a shout-out to Diego Pavia at Vanderbilt before pivoting to listener voicemails.
