The Blaze Radio Network on demand

Hello welcome to it. This is chewing the fat with yours truly Jeff Fisher. Thank you so much for joining us on the broadcast or the

the fat cast or whatever you want to call.

Look, it's just going to be a quick ride, but I'll be with you every afternoon. I want you to be able to listen,

you know, as you drive home, as you just get home, you're hanging out. I don't want to make it long and laborious, but there's so many stories that we just

don't have an opportunity to get to during the day, or stories that are kind of cool, but

nobody's really going to talk about. Welcome to it. The main stories that kind of fascinate me right off the top today are the story about the cafe where no cash is needed.

It's up by Brown University in Rhode Island.

And no college ID means no caffeine. It's a regular coffee shop, machines, baristas, dispense caffeine,

customers hammering away on their laptops, but no you don't have to pay anything

as long as you give them your information.

That's right. They turn away customers.

If you're not a college student, faculty members, if you have a a faculty card you can get in and pay.

But students, no, we just want your personal information.

You get free coffee and all you have to do is give them your name, phone number,

email addresses, majors, all of that.

Also they have to provide a date of birth, professional interest entering all the information in an online

forum and by doing so the students also open up themselves to receiving a here's

the sweet little catch information from corporate sponsors who pay the cafe to reach its clientele through

logos, apps, digital advertisements, on screen in stores, and mobile devices, sign sign surveys and even baristas.

Yes, they also have specially trained staff members the baristas who give

student additional information about sponsors.
